First episode's on the way!

Hi guys!

We're working day and night to put together our trailer and release our first batch of episodes, and you can subscribe right here on iTunes.

Til then, we need your pet questions so we can answer them on-air (or on-FIOS or whatever you want to call it). Some of the questions we've gotten so far include:

  • The politics of the dog run 
  • How to care for an aging pet
  • Dog people dating cat people
  • Cat people dating bird people
  • Vacationing with pets, and when to leave them home
  • Roommate questions. Man, so many roommate questions.

But there's no limit to what you can ask — if it's about animals, we'll answer it.

Oh yeah, and you can also tweet us too.
