Pets can bring so much joy. But there’s also a lot to learn about how to train and care for a dog, cat or other animal companion.

How do you help an anxious rescue dog? Do indoor cats need vaccines? What’s the etiquette at the dog park? What do I feed a rabbit?

And, if you’re thinking about getting a pet, what should you be thinking about ahead of time?

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a veterinarian about how to help your pets stay happy, healthy and well-behaved.

And we want to hear from you, too.

What questions do you have about how to train or care for a dog, cat or other animal? What do you want to ask the vet?

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
