The Science of Animal Consciousness: Do Dogs and Cats Really Feel Emotions?
Aug 18, 20267 minS3
Do animals really feel things — or are we just projecting? In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie and Dr. Amber dig into a new philosophy framework out of Michigan State University that's helping scientists figure out which animals are actually conscious. The "marker" debate — what scientists look for to judge whether a creature can feel Why hermit crabs are the surprising test case researchers keep coming back to What the science says about dogs and cats specifically (spoiler: it's good news) ❤️ Why trusting what you see in your own pet is backed by more science than you'd think Not a philosophy lecture — a grounded, real-talk look at why the science keeps landing closer to "yes, they feel more than we assumed." ❤️ Connect with us: ᐧ Facebook - facebook.com/vitalpetlife ᐧ TikTok: @vitalpetlife ᐧ Instagram: @vitalpetlife ᐧ X: @vitalpetlife ᐧ YouTube: @vitalpetlife ᐧ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/showcase/unleashed-curiosity-podcast ᐧ Check out our website - www.vitalpetlife.com You may also enjoy: Therapy Dogs, Mental Health & Community Impact with Jody Williams https://smartlink.ausha.co/unleashedcuriosity/therapy-dogs-mental-health-community-impact-with-jody-williams Music: "Life of Riley" by Kevin MacLeod (CC BY 4.0) Don't forget to follow us or send us your questions at hello@unleashedcuriosity.com .

Therapy Dogs, Mental Health & Community Impact with Jody Williams
Aug 11, 202628 minS3
Therapy Dogs in Jails, Clinics & Airports: The Human-Animal Bond in Action In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie and Dr. Amber sit down with Jody Williams, Executive Director of Therapy Dogs of America and Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara. Jody shares how her organization has taken the human-animal bond into places most people wouldn't expect - county jails, behavioral health clinics, airport terminals, and classrooms - and what she's seen change as a result. From a young man who hadn't left his jail cell in two months stepping out to meet a labrador, to clinic patients who show up because they know the dog will be there, Jody's stories from the front lines of animal-assisted support make the case better than any research paper. Topics covered: How Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara grew from a library reading program to a multi-site behavioral health partner What the jail-based competency treatment program is and why therapy dogs fit in ✈️ The Santa Barbara Airport therapy dog program and the unexpected moments it creates What makes a dog (and a handler) suited for this kind of work How to get involved if your dog has what it takes Connect with our guest, Jody Williams of Therapy Dogs America: ᐧ Website: Therapydogssb Therapy Dogs of America ᐧ Instagram: @therapydogssb and @therapydogsofamerica ᐧ Facebook: Facebook Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara | Santa Barbara CA ❤️ Connect with us: ᐧ Facebook - facebook.com/vitalpetlife ᐧ TikTok: @vitalpetlife ᐧ Instagram: @vitalpetlife ᐧ X: @vitalpetlife ᐧ YouTube: @vitalpetlife ᐧ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/vitalpetlife ᐧ Check out our website - www.vitalpetlife.com You may also enjoy: Is Your Dog or Cat Overweight?

Your Pet in Bed: The Real Science on Sleep Disruption, Health Risks, and What a Vet Wants You to Know
Jul 28, 202615 minS3
Should Your Pet Sleep in Your Bed? In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie and Dr. Amber Da Silva break down what the science actually says about co-sleeping with your pet - and why the headlines on this topic keep leaving out the most important variable. A 2022 study from Utrecht University confirmed that sharing a bed with a healthy pet does increase exposure to certain pathogens. But increased exposure is not the same as getting sick. For healthy adults with healthy pets on a routine prevention schedule, the actual transmission risk is low. Dr. Amber walks through who the real risk conversation is for, what a responsible co-sleeping setup actually looks like from a vet standpoint, and why the study called for better owner education - not a ban on pets in the bedroom. The conversation shifts to the sleep disruption side of the story. A 2024 study found that co-sleeping with dogs was associated with poorer perceived sleep quality and greater insomnia severity - more so for dog owners than cat owners, and more pronounced in households with multiple pets. Donie and Dr. Amber unpack why both things can be true at once: the comfort is real, and so is the disruption. Dr. Amber shares a practical trial approach for anyone who suspects their dog may be affecting their sleep. Topics covered: Who is actually at risk and what the research says Why dogs disrupt sleep more than cats The middle-path fix and Dr. Amber's practical recommendation ❤️ Connect with us: ᐧ Facebook - facebook.com/vitalpetlife ᐧ TikTok: @vitalpetlife ᐧ Instagram: @vitalpetlife ᐧ X: @vitalpetlife ᐧ YouTube: @vitalpetlife ᐧ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/vitalpetlife ᐧ Check out our website - www.vitalpetlife.com You may also enjoy: Should You Take Your Dog Out in This Heat?

Should You Take Your Dog Out in This Heat? What the Research Actually Says
Jul 21, 202610 minS3
Should You Take Your Dog Out in This Heat? What the Research Actually Says In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie and Dr. Amber Da Silva break down why the number on your weather app isn't the one that actually matters for your dog outdoors. On a 75-degree sunny day, pavement can reach 125 degrees, hot enough to burn paw pads in under a minute, especially for puppies who haven't built up calluses yet. Dr. Amber walks through the simple hand test that tells you if the ground is too hot to walk on, boots or not. The conversation moves into the heat index, why humidity changes how effectively a dog can cool down through panting, and the rule of thumb for knowing when it's time to skip outdoor exercise altogether. Donie and Dr. Amber also cover which dogs need extra caution in warm weather, from flat-faced breeds to seniors, puppies, and dogs with thick double coats, plus the surprising risk of dogs who are too ball-driven to self-regulate. Dr. Amber closes out with the early signs your dog may be overheating, what to do the moment you notice them, and why walk timing, hydration, and a shorter, smarter walk can make all the difference during the hottest months. Topics covered: ️ Why pavement temperature matters more than air temperature ✋ The 10-second hand test for checking if the ground is too hot How the heat index factors in humidity, not just temperature Which dogs are most at risk in warm weather ⚠️ Early signs your dog may be overheating and what to do next ️ Walk timing, hydration, and simple habits for summer safety ❤️ Connect with us: ᐧ Facebook - facebook.com/vitalpetlife ᐧ TikTok: @vitalpetlife ᐧ Instagram: @vitalpetlife ᐧ X: @vitalpetlife ᐧ YouTube: @vitalpetlife ᐧ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/vitalpetlife ᐧ Check out our website - www.vitalpetlife.com You may also enjoy: The Healing Power of Dogs: Therapy Dog Training, Caregiving & the Bond That Saves Us with Susan Hartzler https://smartlink.ausha.co/unleashedcuriosity/the-healing-power-of-dogs-therapy-dog-training-caregiving-the-bond-that-saves-us-with-susan-hartzler Music: "Life of Riley" by Kevin MacLeod (CC BY 4.0) Don't forget to follow us or send us your questions at podcast@vitalpetlife.com .

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
