About Companions & Champions

Anyone who has ever had a pet knows one thing inherently—pets aren’t just like family. They are family.

On Companions & Champions, a PFP podcast series, we take listeners on a journey celebrating the human-animal bond between a champion in their industry and their companion(s). In this series, we hear about the trials and tribulations of our champions and discuss the many ways pets change our lives both inside and out.

Released every other Thursday, this series focuses on conversations between our hosts, Melissa David, Founder & Executive Director at Parachutes for Pets, and Chris Cederstrand, Motivational Speaker, Team Canada Alumni & Athlete Ambassador, as they talk with local Calgarians and guests from around the world about the impact animals have had on their lives.
