Frequency: 1 episode/12d. Total Eps: 16

Furball Confidential takes a gleeful swandive into one of our deepest, but least talked about, relationships - the one we share with our pets. Inspired by the version of herself she is with her own rescue pup Clutch, veteran audio producer Jen Moroz sits down with actors, musicians, authors, comedians and influencers but throws away all the usual questions - and instead learns about them by talking to them about their dog. Or cat. Maybe even their snake.

Cowboy's Baba (aka Comedian Sabrina Jalees)

Season 1 · Episode 1

Saturday, October 4, 2025 • Duration 37:54

Before comedian Sabrina Jalees had sons Wolfie and Rowan, she and her wife Shauna had another son - their French bulldog, Cowboy. According to Sabrina, he was their first born, and taught them a thing or two about parenting humans. Cowboy has also become fast friends and mischievous co-conspirators with her toddler. And who knew - until this conversation - that Cowboy kind of wasn’t meant to be. That’s all in this action-packed episode, in which Sabrina “gives some shine” to Cowboy and reflects on what he has brought into her life - and her family. (She will also argue, in great detail, that he has the most potent farts in the world. Brace yourselves.)

We asked Sabrina what pet-related cause she might like to highlight and she joked it was “the teeny tiniest charity” she could find. She’s talking about the SPCA (or ASPCA in the States) and she encouraged everyone to check out our local chapter:

Kora's Dad (aka Dr. Kwane Stewart, "The Street Vet")

Season 1 · Episode 2

Saturday, October 4, 2025 • Duration 39:37

Kwane Stewart has loved and been surrounded by animals his whole life and knew he wanted to care for them from a young age. But working as a vet at a shelter during the recession - and having to decide which animals lived and which were euthanized - almost made him walk away from the profession altogether. Dr. Kwane shares the life-changing encounter with an unhoused man and his dog that inspired him to create the non-profit Project Street Vet - and ultimately saved his career as a vet. He explains why “some of the most remarkable pet parents [he’s] ever met are in the streets.” And he opens up about his own love of animals - from his childhood cat who helped him cope with being bullied, to the 10-foot python he had in college, to Kora, the German Shepherd he adopted from the shelter he used to work. As a bonus, Dr. Kwane also provides the very serious, very medically scientific reasons why giving your poochie woochie smooches and snuggle wuggles makes you feel better.

If you’re in the mood to support a pet-related cause, you can find Project Street Vet here.

And if you are hankering for more about Dr. Kwane, his website is here, where you can find his book, What It Takes to Save a Life

Dr. Kwane is also the Chief Veterinary Officer at Kismet. Every time you buy their pet food, they make a donation to Project Street Vet too.

Natasha's Human (aka Comedian Carolyn Taylor)

Season 1 · Episode 3

Saturday, October 4, 2025 • Duration 34:44

Let the record show that Natasha the cat was supposed to be “just a foster.” But by the time Baroness von Sketch Show star/co-creator Carolyn Taylor finally coaxed her out from under the couch, there was really no other choice but to keep her. A self-proclaimed “cat apologist”, Carolyn goes deep on feline lessons in humility and what keeps cat lovers coming back for more despite the possibility of scratches (emotional and physical). She shares theories on the cat-witch connection as well as tales of her hardscrabble, street-wise, jump-scare loving, late great black cat Eve.

Carolyn also introduces us to the oddly comforting world of Catland, a fantastical cartoon with a zany soundtrack where all cats reunite in the great kitty beyond to ride horses and bicycles and do other fun things. It’s her go-to offering when a friend loses a beloved cat, and you can see it for yourself here

We asked Carolyn for her favourite pet-related cause and she said the Loyalist Humane Society in Prince Edward County. It’s a volunteer-run “giant house that has all these apartments for cats”, and also where she adopted Natasha, the cat formerly known as Phyllis Jane.

Follow Carolyn on Instagram

Nyla's Chef (aka Chef Susur Lee)

Season 1 · Episode 4

Saturday, October 11, 2025 • Duration 32:20

When Chef Susur Lee commits to something, he truly commits. I mean you don’t become a world famous Chef by taking things lightly. So when Chef took over caring for his son’s dog Nyla, he made a full commitment to honour her true nature as a husky and to feed, walk and respect her accordingly. Yes, there’s a lot of discipline involved. But there’s also a ton of silliness and freedom - a sharp contrast to the pressure of Chef life in a high-performance kitchen. In this episode, you’ll hear how Nyla’s presence in Chef Lee’s life has been nothing short of transformative, from making him love the winter to unlocking new levels of creativity on their walks to inspiring a form of soul-searching he calls “Nylatherapy.”

Harrington's Confidant (aka Musician Rose Cousins)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Saturday, October 18, 2025 • Duration 31:55

Rose Cousins was never not going to get a dog. But, being a busy touring singer-songwriter, the timing had to be right. When the pandemic rolled around, Rose took the opportunity to welcome Harrington the Schnoodle (half schnauzer, half poodle) via an ad posted halfway across the country. Just like her songs about love, Rose talks so beautifully about the portal for love that Harrington has opened in her heart. She also details their adorable bedtime ritual and the quirks she’s come to love. Rose and Jen also reflect on what it’s like to contend with the fact that our pets will almost always break our hearts by leaving us first.

Alfie's Best Friends (aka Actors Naomi Snieckus and Matt Baram)

Saturday, October 25, 2025 • Duration 30:07

When they met at Second City about 15 years ago, Naomi Snieckus and Matt Baram each came to the table with a dependent. Matt had Murphy, a 100 pound black golden labradoodle (yes, they exist). Naomi had Rufus, a little cockapoo. And as she says, they “Brady bunched.” It’s been a dog’s life pretty much ever since for the actor-writer-improviser duo who adopted Alfie this past year. Our conversation is a long dog walk down memory lane, remembering Rufus and Murphy, and revealing some surprisingly deep insights into Alfie’s strengths and areas for growth. We stretch back to Matt’s family’s Lhasa Apso, who “didn’t know how to pee properly.” (Get ready to picture the expression “golden shower” in a whole new light!). We also, of course, answer the burning questions: Who is the fun parent? Who is really the most smitten…and what would you ask your dog if he could speak for a day?

We asked Matt and Naomi which pet-related cause they think deserves your attention, and they told us the Pasadena Humane Society. You might have heard news stories earlier this year about how much work they did - and how many animals they took in - during the LA wildfires.

Catch Matt and Naomi in their amazing play, Big Stuff, which is on tour across Canada now, with dates in Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Victoria. For info on the show and tickets, visit baramandsnieckus.com.

Lola, Mowgli and Dodson’s Mom (aka Actor Adrienne C. Moore)

Season 1 · Episode 7

Saturday, November 1, 2025 • Duration 34:35

Meant to be. That’s really the only way to describe the trio of doggos that Adrienne C. Moore - star of Orange is the New Black and Pretty Hard Cases - calls her family. We dive into the remarkable origin stories of all three pups; from the photo of one little black and one little brown dog that Adrienne had up on her fridge long before she ever met Lola (small and black) and Mowgli (small and brown), to rescuing Dodson from the side of a road she never drives down. Never, except that one night.

Adrienne will be the first to tell you, there’s magic and manifestation wrapped up in all of it. She’ll give you a glimpse into life with dogs who have three very different personalities, and their deep ability to comfort and ground her, especially with her hectic work life. And we talk about Adrienne’s lifelong respect for and love of animals, from healing injured birds and adopting strays as a kid, to regularly volunteering her time to advocating for rescue dogs as an adult. Giving back is a big theme for Adrienne, who already has had Mowgli trained as a service dog and accompanies him to hospitals and adult learning centres because “he’s the main attraction.” She hopes her dogs will all be service animals one day to spread the love and comfort and healing she says they have brought her. I mean: COME. ON.

If you’re looking to support a pet related cause, Adrienne encourages you to check out the ASPCA and Hope for Paws, which is where she got Lola and Mowgli.

And if you’re looking to adopt a pet of your own, Adrienne would love for you to check out your local shelter. In her words, “I always believe that, you know, there are enough dogs out there to rescue, to keep our hands and our hearts busy for a while.”

Rex’s Mom (aka “Hudson & Rex” Lead Dog Trainer Sherri Davis)

Season 1 · Episode 8

Saturday, November 8, 2025 • Duration 35:07

Sit. Stay. Safely jump through a fake glass window with dozens of people watching you. Ok, maybe that last command is best reserved for the pros. And it doesn’t get more pro than Sherri Davis.

Sherri wears many hats but her main gig is Executive Producer and Lead Dog Trainer for Hudson & Rex, the police drama that stars a crime-solving German Shepherd named Rex. Rex was originally played by Sherri’s beloved dog Diesel, who was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and died while they were shooting season 7. Sherri reflects on what it was like to lose her colleague, friend and “son” all at once. And she shares, with immense pride, how she trained Dillon - Diesel’s nephew - to fill those massive pawprints and take over as Rex in Season 8. Sherri says she was “born with” an uncanny ability to communicate with animals and knew she always wanted to help them. She shares the crazy story of how she got into training animals for the screen - and just how many types of critters she has wrangled (a lot). And she takes us behind the scenes of Death Row Dogs, her effort to save pups others don’t think can be rehabilitated and saved.

We asked Sherri Davis for a favourite pet-related cause and she encourages you to check out Rainbow Riders. It’s an organization in St John’s, Newfoundland that provides therapy through horses and horseback riding to people with disabilities.

You can watch Season 8 of Hudson & Rex on Citytv or stream it on Citytv Plus.
