You don’t have to search far on social media to find people referring to their cats or dogs as “fur babies” and themselves as “pet parents.”
But there are people who argue it’s bad to treat our pets as children instead of the animals they are.
On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll discuss the increasingly charged conversation over treating pets like children, and we’ll have a panel of experts to answer your questions.
Guests:
- Jennifer Wells, DVM, program director and professor of veterinary technology, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College
- Emily Ward, DVM, practice limited to veterinary dentistry, MedVet Cincinnati
- Dae Grodin, owner and trainer, Dog-Abilities.com
