Let’s talk about the progression of the food we’ve fed our girls over the last two years. We went live to record this episode, so we answered a few questions and looked at puppy foods, treats, human foods, and varying levels of raw food. We also have a few pupdates about our new products and blog post.

In this episode we got some of our most pressing nail trimming questions answered by our groomer. This is a bit of an unconventional interview because we read out her answers, but they were so helpful and insightful we had to share them with you. Learn about fussy puppies, how often to get nails trimmed, and what to do if your Italian greyhound has black nails to cut.

On this episode, we welcome Jessica from @NutritionRVN on Instagram and her blog. She is an Accredited and Registered Veterinary Nurse in Australia (vet tech in North America) and a nutritional consultant. We discuss some of the most common questions about Italian greyhounds and food, like “How much rib is too much rib?”, “How to feed a picky eater?”, “What’s the difference between BARF and raw diets?” and “What foods help with leg and teeth health?”.

In this revisiting of our blog post entitled "Adelaide the Un-Model", we discuss how Adelaide defies yet another Italian greyhound stereotype by hating to wear clothes. We have trained her to tolerate the clothing enough to go for walks when the temperature starts to drop, but it’s been a struggle. We also rank Adelaide’s outfits and talk about her real modelling experience.

In this episode we discuss our Top 5 Tips for Iggy Alone Time - but what do you mean by alone time? This episode is for anyone who struggles with leaving their dog alone, whether that’s completely alone in the house or simply just unattended. We will chat about how to identify that your iggy is having a problem and what to do to help make your pup feel at ease. Your iggy may not be experiencing all signs of separation anxiety, but we wanted to start the conversation in an effort to help you and your iggy adjust to being on their own. We’ll share our personal experience with Adelaide and how it’s been since quarantine/lockdown caused us to be inside more. We will also share a tip from our iggy friend, Bambi, who has been working on getting comfortable with iggy alone time. Disclaimer as always, we are not vets or experts in dog behaviour, but give our advice as best we can from our personal experience and shared stories. We hope you and your iggy can find success with any or all of these top tips!

In this episode we explore all the thoughtful, inspired and sometimes comical ways that Iggy Parents come to find the name of their iggy (or iggies). When did you name your iggy? Did you name your iggy because of the way they looked or their personality? Did you have an Italian influence? Whether you’ve got just one or many reasons for naming your iggy the name you did, it’s a beautiful thing to give your dog a special name. We’re going to share with you Adelaide’s name story and then many heartwarming stories from our friends. After listening to our friends and recalling back to our story, we concluded that there are generally 5 criteria or tips for naming your iggy. We’ll also let you in on the most common dogs names of last year. We hope you can relate to all of these methods of naming or perhaps even be inspired if you don’t have a name for your iggy yet!

In this episode we discuss how raising our iggy (italian greyhound), Adelaide, has been during quarantine as of July 2020. As both artists with side hustle gigs, COVID-19 put the iggy parents out of work but also provided the opportunity to start this podcast. We talk all about the troubles in quarantine, a trip to the vet, and learning to continue life as things slowly re-open.

Shoutout to Dogwood Creek Design for providing face masks for us to sport and as a prize for our podcast launch giveaway on Instagram. And congratulations to Hank The Iggy for winning the face masks and “I’m All Ears” tote bag featuring the many ears of Adelaide the Italian Greyhound.
