A “mini” bernedoodle that grew into a 50-pound bundle of joy, a Brooklyn terrace that doubles as a lifesaver at 2 a.m., and a creator who treats planning like a superpower. We sit down with Taryn Berman from New York City and her dog Remy From BK to talk about what it’s actually like raising a high-energy dog in a dense city while keeping a full career moving.

We get into the practical side of NYC dog ownership: finding green space, building community through dog-friendly parks and coffee spots, and staying alert on tight sidewalks where dogs are everywhere. Taryn shares favorite Brooklyn hangouts, what surprises people about city dog safety, and why basic dog poop etiquette matters more than you’d think when the streets get crowded.

Then we zoom in on routines and tools that make apartment dog life easier. Taryn explains how Fresh Patch (real grass dog potty) helps with late-night bathroom runs, early mornings, work-from-home days, and those rough puppy stomach-issue nights when you need convenience fast. We also talk content creation for dog Instagram, including batching drafts, using Instagram insights, and using AI tools to brainstorm and tighten captions without losing an authentic voice.

Rabbits have a reputation for being simple pets. Then you actually live with one and realize you’ve been underestimating them the whole time. We sit down with Melissa, a long-time volunteer and co-lead with the Ventura County Animal Services Bunny Brigade, and meet two very special guests: Jarvis, a 10-year-old foster rabbit living his best “old man” life, and Puzzy, an outgoing little explorer who makes her opinions known fast.

We talk about what rabbit care really looks like for indoor rabbits and first-time bunny owners: why rabbits are prey animals that feel safest with all four feet on the ground, how to build trust without forcing cuddles, and what “binkies” and flops tell you about a rabbit’s comfort level. Melissa also pulls back the curtain on shelter life, volunteer work, and the adoption education process, including the push for indoor-only housing and the real-world risks of predators, heat sensitivity, and RHDV2.

From rabbit diet and health to daily routine, we get specific. You’ll hear why hay should be the foundation of nutrition, why carrots are a treat not a meal, how spaying and neutering supports litter box training and long-term health, and what red-alert signs like GI stasis look like. We also dig into rabbit enrichment ideas that actually work, plus why clean real grass can be a safe, cool, stimulating way to bring the outdoors inside.

If you’re thinking about getting a rabbit around Easter or anytime, Melissa’s advice is clear: foster first. Subscribe, share this with a future rabbit person, and leave a review so more good pets get the right care.

A tiny dog with big personality walks into our studio and immediately steals the show. We’re hanging out with Tien and Toby (aka @tobythetoymaltipoo), talking through the real story behind his “meant to be” adoption after the loss of her previous dog, and how that mix of grief and gratitude can reshape a home in the best way. If you’ve ever wondered how you’ll know you’re ready for a new pet, this conversation hits close to the heart while staying honest and practical.

Then we get into the fun stuff: how Toby’s social media presence took off without a master plan. Tien works with teenagers, and they basically became Toby’s creative directors, pushing TikTok trends, trick ideas, and video concepts. We share what actually helps a pet Instagram or TikTok grow, why authenticity beats overthinking, and how documenting your dog’s real quirks can build a loyal community.

Potty training and condo dog life is the other big takeaway. We talk balcony potty training with a real grass dog potty patch, why synthetic turf turns gross fast, and how consistency plus the right setup makes nighttime and vaccine-stage potty breaks way easier. You’ll also hear a deep dive on training treats for small dogs, “potty roulette” bell moments, and our new dark, easy-tear poop bags built for fast walks.
