NAT GEO WILD ANNOUNCES "PET TALK," FIRST PRIME-TIME TALK SHOW FOR PET OWNERS!

Pet Talk Premieres Friday, Feb. 19 at 10/9c on Nat Geo WILD

(PASADENA, CA - Jan. 6, 2016) America loves pets. Sixty-two percent of households include an animal family member, but there's never been a primetime talk show devoted to them until now. Pet Talk is the ultimate talk show for animal lovers, a weekly series hosted by two veterinarians, a wildlife expert, and a field reporter who provides the latest pet news, advice and fascinating personal stories. No trip to the vet required. Pet Talk premieres Friday, Feb. 19 at 10/9c on Nat Geo WILD. For more information about Pet Talk, visit our press web site at www.foxflash.com, or follow us on Twitter using @NGC_PR.

"Our vet show line-up is so popular with viewers that Pet Talk is the perfect way to deliver, across all of our platforms, the kind of personalized veterinary advice, insights and information about the pets and wildlife viewers care about the most," said Geoff Daniels, executive vice president and general manager, Nat Geo WILD. "This is a truly interactive format that will be the definitive on-air and online pet resource from a brand that is a proven and trusted leader."

Pet Talk covers topics ranging from health and nutrition to behavior and grooming to the latest pet trends and amazing heartfelt animal stories. Our hosts also bring their decades of experience to the toughest cases that walk, swim or slither across the studio floor. Each episode is taped in front of a live studio audience who will ask the hosts their own pet questions, and viewers can Skype, tweet, text and e-mail to chime in with comments, questions and stories.

In addition to our hosts, Pet Talk will include recurring experts from around the world including animal behaviorists, biologists, grooming specialists, pet food chefs, authors, and animal celebrities who will round out our expert information.

Usually people go online to ask their pet questions but now they can turn to an interactive and entertaining show with top experts. Whether it's about the best choice for a first pet, what every dog owner should know, what it means when your cat purrs, or countless other questions, Pet Talk has the answer.
