Midwest Pet Life debuts on WGIL: Why pets matter more than ever

Midwest Pet Life, a new weekly podcast on WGIL, launches this week with host Candace D'Agnolo — pet industry veteran and owner of Dante & Dory's Pet Emporium in downtown Galesburg. Every week, Candace digs into the topics that matter most to pet owners across the Midwest — from nutrition and behavior to seasonal safety and the science behind the human-animal bond. 🎧 Listen to Episode 1 above. In the debut episode, Candace covers: Who owns pets in America right now — and why the numbers may surprise you How pet ownership has shifted across generations, from Millennials to empty nesters What the research says about pets and mental health Why the Midwest has its own distinct relationship with animals — and why this show was built for that audience   Have a pet question you'd like Candace to tackle on a future episode?
