Often we don’t know we’re contributing to stress in the home, but humans are a source of stress in many situations.’…Read, watch, or listen to Marci talk about cat aggression and litterbox issues.

And if it’s a dog…well, you’ve got poop to scoop there, too. We’ve got some experts and pet parents on the show today to tell you about the latest and greatest products for managing (and cleaning up!) the doo-doo. Robotic litter boxes, litter that turns colors to help diagnose medical issues, a carpet cleaner that REALLY works, flushing dog toilets and more!” Marci discussed a topic that everyone loves to hate: the litterbox (and potential solutions to simple scooping).
