- Series Description
CATS & DOGS is a new 26-part series that explores the human/animal bond in all its aspects. Each week, series host Dr. Anita Migday, a respected Massachusetts veterinarian, invites viewers to observe clinic visits with real feline and canine clients. In addition to these segments on pet heath care -- prevention, detection and treatment -- Dr. Migday offers valuable do-it-yourself tips on at-home care with particular emphasis on grooming, obedience training and nutrition. CATS & DOGS also criss-crosses the country to capture stories about some remarkable pets and their owners. Common and exotic cat and dog breeds are showcased, as well. Packaged in a lively magazine format, the series is made up of regular "departments," including: Clinic Visits; Ask the Vet; Features; Pet Tips; Breed of the Week and Do-It-Yourself. Produced by WGBH Boston in association with the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). Funding provided by Kal Kan.
- Program Description
Dr. Migday treats a cat with an eye infection, then examines the folklore and facts that explain why cats purr. In a feature on the California Rescue Dog Association, in Sacramento, the uncanny courage and sensitivity of these dogs and their dedicated trainers is profiled. The Turkish Angora cat is highlighted, and the two-part series on cat-proofing a house concludes.
