Kids & Family, Pets & Animals

Better questions. More thoughtful care. A few unexpected detours.

Join Bobby and Edan for curious, candid conversations about pet nutrition, animal wellness, the human-animal bond, and what caring for our pets teaches us about ourselves. Alongside veterinarians, researchers, makers, and fellow animal lovers, we explore the why behind the advice, question assumptions, and learn out loud.

Come for the pets. Leave with fresh perspectives, useful insights, and more confidence to make informed choices for the animal in front of you.

Better Questions Create Better Choices.

  6. Week 11: Pawsitivity Presentations - What If I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About?

    Show notes

    What If I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About? 🤔

    Welcome to Week 11 of our Pawsitivity Presentations!

    We all know a little something about a lot of things. Some of us think scientifically, others intuitively. Some follow facts, others follow energy, experience, or instinct. But what happens when we stop trying to prove who's right and start getting curious about what we can learn from one another?

    That's where the magic of collaboration begins.

    After our incredible conversation with Dr. Odette Suter, DVM, we were reminded just how powerful it is when different minds come together. No battle of the brains. No competition over who knows more. Just open minds, shared experiences, and the beautiful synergy that comes from learning together.

    In this week's presentation, Bobby challenges us to question what we think we know, embrace what we don't, and recognize that there's always another perspective worth exploring.

    Because maybe true intelligence isn't about having all the answers. Maybe it's about being willing to ask better questions.

    And that's exactly why we created these conversations! You're invited to be part of them, too!

    Every Saturday at 4 PM, we host a FREE live recording of our Pawsitivity Presentations inside the Pawsitivity Room at Pure Pawsitivity™ in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

    Come be part of the live audience, ask questions, share perspectives, or simply listen and learn. Seating and standing room are limited, so please arrive before 4 PM when recording begins.

    Stay curious. Stay humble. Keep learning together. 🐾

  8. Pawsitivity Presentations #11: Plot twist: What if we don't know as much as we think we know? 😂🐾

    Show notes

    Plot twist: What if we don't know as much as we THINK we know? 😂🐾

    Welcome to being HUMAN! We're all out here doing our best, sharing our knowledge, stumbling over our words, and occasionally realizing that everything we thought we knew might deserve a second look. 🤣

    And honestly, isn't that the beauty of it all?

    None of us have it all figured out! The moment we think we know everything might just be the moment we stop learning.

    What if we got a little more curious, a little less certain, and a whole lot more open-minded?

    Now THAT could lead to some pretty trippy conversations!

    Here's a little behind-the-scenes proof that we're not here to be perfect. We're here to question, observe, laugh, unlearn, relearn, and grow TOGETHER.

    Because life is way too short to take ourselves so seriously!

    🐾 JOIN US THIS SATURDAY FOR WEEK 11 OF PAWSITIVITY PRESENTATIONS!

    Want to be part of the live audience? We'd LOVE to have you!

    🎬 Live recording begins at 4 PM in the Pawsitivity Room at Pure Pawsitivity™ in Fountain Hills, AZ.

  9. Beyond the Symptoms: The Full Circle of Healing with Dr. Odette Suter, DVM

    Show notes

    What if the symptoms we're seeing are only part of a much bigger story?

    We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Dr. Odette Suter, holistic veterinarian, author, and affectionately known as the “Dr. Poop Lady!”

    And WOW, what a conversation!

    From gut health and nutrition to hormones, the microbiome, and the body's incredible ability to heal, Dr. Suter takes us beyond simply managing symptoms and into understanding the root causes of imbalance.

    We explore the full circle of healing, including why changes during the healing process aren't always what they seem, and why understanding the body's responses matters just as much as recognizing the symptoms themselves.

    Her ability to connect the dots and explain complex topics with such clarity makes this conversation truly special.

    We could have talked for HOURS, and something tells us this won't be her last visit to the Pure Pawsitivity™ podcast!

  10. Week 10 Pawsitivity Presentations: “I HAVE TO” vs. “I GET TO” | The Power of Gratitude

    Show notes

    10 WEEKS. 10/10. A beautiful alignment! ✨

    What a meaningful milestone for our 10th Pawsitivity Presentation, recorded on October 10th (10/10)!

    What if changing just two words could change your entire perspective?

    “I have to” becomes “I get to.”

    The words we choose shape how we experience life. What once felt like an obligation can become an opportunity for gratitude. It's not about pretending everything is easy. It's about recognizing the gifts hidden within our everyday routines.

    In Week 10, we explore the power of mindful language, perspective, and practicing gratitude through the simplest shifts.

    Recorded LIVE in the Pawsitivity Room at Pure Pawsitivity™ in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

    Join us for future live recordings, meaningful conversations, and a little more Pawsitivity each week.

    Meet Zach, founder of Coco Pup Wipes, a family-run Arizona company changing the way we think about everyday pet dental care. 🥥🐾

    Coco Pup Wipes are simple: a convenient finger wipe made with 100% pure virgin coconut oil designed to help wipe away buildup and support a cleaner mouth, without a long list of unnecessary ingredients.

    In this episode, we talk with Zach about how Coco Pup Wipes started, why coconut oil was the inspiration, the importance of regular hands-on dental care, and how this Arizona-grown company has expanded into 100+ independent pet stores nationwide.

    🐾 Behind the Food: Wild Coast Raw with Owner Tyler Duncan

    We had such a phenomenal conversation with Tyler Duncan, owner of Wild Coast Raw Pet Food, and walked away loving this company even more than we already did.

    Wild Coast Raw is one of our top-selling raw foods at Pure Pawsitivity™, but even we didn’t realize just how small-batch, hands-on, and intentional their process truly is. From thoughtfully sourcing meats and produce as locally as possible to hand-packing their food, there is a level of care behind every batch that you simply don’t see with most commercial pet foods.

    In this episode, Tyler takes us behind the scenes of Wild Coast Raw, their sourcing, ingredients, production, sustainability, and the philosophy behind creating real, species-appropriate food without synthetic vitamins, fillers, or unnecessary ingredients.

    Their distribution is intentionally limited, which makes us especially grateful to have access to Wild Coast Raw here in Arizona through Sunburst Pet Supplies. We receive fresh batches regularly, and there’s a reason the beef, turkey, duck, rabbit, and pork keep finding their way into our customers’ freezers. Our own dogs absolutely LOVE it too.

    This conversation is a great reminder that knowing who makes your animal’s food, where the ingredients come from, and how it’s actually made matters.

    🎙️ Join us for the full conversation with Tyler Duncan and get to know the humans behind one of our favorite foods at Pure Pawsitivity™.

    🐾 **Pawsitivity Presentation | Week 6: Drop the Narrative**
    How often do we create an entire story in our minds about what our animals are feeling, what might happen next, or what their future will look like?
    This last week was about **dropping the narrative and coming back to the present.** Observe. Stay curious. Be cautious when needed. Dream about the future. But don’t let the story in your head take you away from what your animal is actually showing you right now.
    Our animals are incredible teachers of presence. Maybe we can learn to meet them there. 🐾

    What if we started looking at our pets’ food the same way we look at our own?

    We sat down with Chef Scot Hill, founder of Woof Creek Pet Wellness, to talk about the connection between human nutrition and pet nutrition, whole foods, herbs, functional ingredients, and why paying attention to what goes into the bowl matters. 🐾🌿

    It’s a great conversation about getting back to real food, nature, and making more intentional choices for the animals we love.

  19. How do Good Dogs and Difficult People Reveal Love with Pure Pawsitivity

    Show notes

    🐾 What can our dogs teach us about being better humans?

    We had the pleasure of sitting down with psychologist, researcher, and award-winning author Dr. Chris Blazina, author of Good Dogs and Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love.

    This conversation goes far beyond dogs. ❤️ We talk about love, connection, humanity, and that deep bond we share with our animal companions.

    At the end of the day, we’re all searching for love and connection. Our animals have an incredible way of giving that love so freely and unconditionally. Maybe part of our purpose is learning from them and giving that same love right back, not only to our animals, but to one another.

    This was such a meaningful conversation and one that fits beautifully with what Pure Pawsitivity™ is all about:

    Show notes

    GREG TILFORD | THE ANIMAL HERBALIST 🌿

    What an absolute blessing this conversation was.

    We had the honor of sitting down with Greg Tilford, renowned animal herbalist, author, educator, and founder/formulator of Animal Essentials and it truly felt like talking with someone who speaks the same language we do.

    Greg has spent decades learning from plants, animals, and nature itself, and sharing that knowledge with pet parents, veterinarians, and professionals around the world. His work is such an important reminder that herbs aren't some new wellness trend. Plants have been nature's medicine cabinet long before humans ever put medicine into a bottle. 🌱🐾

    We talk herbs, animals, whole-body wellness, reconnecting with nature, and what we can learn simply by observing the animals around us.

    This is one of those conversations we could have continued for HOURS.

    🎙️ Take a listen, share it with someone who loves learning about natural animal wellness, and then keep learning from Greg through his Substack:

    🌿 The Animal Herbalist Gregory Tilford
