   Radio 2SM Pet Segment # 27 with Kaye Browne

   *** RADIO 2SM PET SEGMENT #27 WITH KAYE BROWNE *** Full transcript below... THIS WEEK... With all the wet weather lately, it's been a bit 'tricky' for dogs to just go outside to relieve themselves right? Accidents happen right? So is there a way to help fix 'the smell' and stop future 'accidents'? And with the rising cost of living, research has shown people are starting to prefer cats to dogs. But there is a surprising breed preference which differs across the country! PLUS: Do You Sleep With Your Dog? Ok many of us do, but what's their favourite position? And finally this week... another talking Parrot, but this one - Mango - got the owner into trouble with the Police just for saying "2 For 25?... 2 For 25? - Wanna Buy Some?" but was the owner actually selling anything? CHAPTERS: 00'00" - Welcome Tim Webster and Kaye Browne 00'11" - Oh Noo!.. My Dog Just Weed Inside!! 03'16" - People Now Preferring Cats... Why?? 05'03" - Do You Sleep With Your Dog? 07'09" - 2 For 25?... 2 For 25? - Wanna Buy Some? TRANSCRIPT: TIM: Yes, time to talk about our pets with our renowned pet expert Kay Brown. Hi. Good morning.   I don't know about renowned. Oh, you're renowned. Well, look, I haven't experienced this of late, but I did have it with a dog I had some years ago, and there's been a lot of wet weather and there's going to be for the next little while, and the hazards of your dogs, I suppose, especially your dogs, because you'd have a of weeing inside yeah?   KAYE: Yes, it's a real problem. And, you know, we can joke about it, call it a ‘pee-dickerment’ if you like. It really can affect a lot of us really, really badly.   And in fact, sometimes animals get surrendered because of that. In fact, I heard from long time friends actually who have two beautiful King Charles Spaniels who normally love to go walkies. But when it's wet outside, they suddenly forget how to go to the toilet outside and they pee on a particular spot on the rug.   And they've tried sprays, didn't know what to do. So they put their hand up and said, help! And I'm sure they're not alone.   So some of the latest things as to what can be used. And I've got a couple of ideas, but they're all based around enzymes. But there are a couple of other things that we can look at as well.   But first of all, to help with the actual urine smell or the poo smell, if they've done another accident. Years ago, it used to be, they'd say, put some bleach on it, well, that's the wrong thing to do because the ammonia attracts dogs back to that spot.   So definitely don't use that. You can make a homemade mix of peroxides and baking soda and a little bit of dish detergent. But really, why do that when a lot of scientists have actually looked into making products that actually work to provide natural substances to eliminate the uric acid crystals that dogs deposit.   And basically they digest those smells and gets rid of them altogether. And there's one called Pet Lab that I can certainly tell you about. Very, very good.   TIM: Yeah. I wonder if that's an issue with smaller dogs in particular. My son's got a little Pomeranian and she's got some health issues and he puts out those little pee pads, which she uses and they can be trained to do that, can't they? KAYE: Absolutely. And in fact, any dog can be trained to go on anything. And you can get those sort of artificial toilets, which came out a couple of years ago, where they actually are inside a plastic tray and then the artificial turf can be washed. Mind you, you do have to make sure you're using some kind of enzymatic to wash it out.   But the pee pads do it and they're often used as temporary toilet training. But it's really handy if you can actually persuade your animal to toilet on command. And mine, we came up with the phrase, ‘empty the dog’,...
