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

Dogs can suffer from stress, too, as illustrated by one of Dr. Migday's clinic patients. Pets as performers in television and motion pictures is the subject of a feature from Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Finally, the fine points of administering eye drops and bathing a cat without bloodshed are detailed.
