The Animal Files Podcast
Do you believe animals are sentient beings? That they can feel emotions, pain, and stress? Animals communicate with us all the time, but many of us simply haven’t learned to understand them. We tend to only see the obvious, but that can lead to misunderstandings, behavior challenges, & health challenges. Caring for a companion animal can be one of the most rewarding, yet challenging experiences in our lives. We aim to be a voice for animals and help them to thrive & not just survive in our human world. Our discussions and interviews range from stress in animals to safety, animal welfare to legal concerns, nutrition to communication, behaviors to travel, plus a whole lot more! Because stress affects our pets’ lives in so many ways, this aspect will be touched on in many of our episodes. We are not about being light, fluffy, and safe. We will be delving into areas that are not often talked about and helping you to take a deeper dive into the world of pet care. Our mission is to provide you with information, guidance, & possible choices you can make for the animals in your care while encouraging you to do your own research in order to make the most informed decisions. Each and every week, join Victoria Stigliano-Dzuban, an Animal Spirituality and Energy Facilitator, Animal Translator, and Integrative Energy Healing Practitioner, and Miranda de Haan, a Pet Care Safety Expert & an Animal Health Technologist, as they discuss various topics, interview other pet experts, and offer opportunities for personalized guidance to our community.

In this episode we wrap up our pit bull and bully breed series with a lovely conversation with the author of the children's book, Labrador Retriever with the Block Head, and pit bull advocate Sabrina Fair Andronica.
We discuss many of the issues pit bulls and bully breeds face and how we can rise above the narrative that surrounds these beautiful animals, through education and compassion.
About Sabrina:
As a young girl, Sabrina Fair Andronica showed a keen interest in writing. At seven, she wrote her first screenplay with the help of her screenwriting father. The following year, The Los Angeles Times published a "Kids' Reading Page" to promote literacy before age nine and her little fun submissions about animals were chosen twice. Twenty-two years later, Sabrina became a children’s author, writing touching stories that promote animal activism. A list of her published titles include, Adventure At Rainbow Bridge, Labrador Retriever With The Block Head, and Cruelty-Free Is The Way To Be! Each fictional story is always just and fair. Sabrina’s goal is to share with future generations her book brand, Always Fair Books, which shows awareness, compassion and enlightenment of animal activism and self growth. She has raised funds through her books for animal rescues and has visited a dozen seasonal camps and after school programs at shelters and sanctuaries. She’s also appeared on several podcasts, where she gets to shine light on her activism and book brand.

Season 3 continues with Part 3 of our "Much Ado About Pit Bull and Bully Breeds" Series. In this episode, we discuss the very important aspect... Understanding. Animals are very different from us and the best way for us to build relationships with these incredible beings, is by learning everything we can about who THEY are. Pit Bulls and Bully Breeds are no different. Knowing as much as we can about these dogs in particular, will help you, help them... thrive.

Season 3 continues with another information-packed episode in our "Much Ado About Pit Bull" Series. In this episode, we discuss the issue of judgement. As humans, we tend to judge everything first, before we have the full story, and many of us decide that our judgements are valid. Are they though? Are we jumping the gun a bit when it comes to Pit bulls and bully breeds? Should we or should we not have breed specific legislation? Join us for an in-depth conversation on this topic as to why this approach is short-sighted and in many, many cases, causes needless harm and suffering to many other dog breeds and breed types.

In this episode, we dive into the different mistakes cat owners may be making unknowingly, and give you tips on how to do better and be better for the sake of your beloved feline. As humans, mistakes are a part of life and as long as we try to be conscious and aware of them, we can learn to compromise and adapt, so that we can allow our kitties to be respected and accepted fully into our families and ultimately give them a voice. Even a 1% change will benefit the feline/human relationship and help your cat thrive.
