The pet hour presented by Iams on XM Radio celebrates pets and the people that love them.
Dayton, OH (PRWEB) June 3, 2008 -- Pet owners searching for a show dedicated to everything dog and cat need to look no further. In partnership with XM Satellite Radio, Inc. and Nancy Glass Productions, Iams Dog and Cat Foods created a pet talk show that focuses on pets and the people that love them. Listeners can tune into XM's Take Five, channel 155, at 6 p.m. EST, every Friday to learn more about their canine or feline companion (Replays Fri 9p EST, Sat 12n EST & Tue 7a EST). The show's content includes pet advice from experts and endless discussion about the wonderful world of dogs and cats. Pet lovers can also visit pet nutrition and wellness.
The show's hosts, Nancy Glass and Cindy Connors, anchor the show as true pet passionate personalities. Nancy Glass is a six-time Emmy award winning television host, writer, and producer. She is one of the most creative and credible names in the industry. Nancy is also a lifelong pet lover and has owned a delightful menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, and other furry creatures. Cindy Connors is an award-winning television producer who has worked in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. For the past 8 years, she has been the Executive Producer/Director of Programming at Nancy Glass Productions.

"As pet owners ourselves, we enjoy celebrating our pet relationships with others," said Amy Dicke, DVM, technical services veterinarian at P&G Pet Care.
