When I adopted my new shelter kitten, Adobe Animal Hospital’s name was one of the veterinary hospitals on a list I received, for a free check-up. This facility accepts many animal shelters’ “free checkup” vouchers. The facility is close to where I live, so I thought I would …

Since the beginning of time dog has been the soul foundation of man’s sanity. Wolves kept the nomads warm, the poodles keep Royalty company. But I’m not here to talk about gruff wolves, or the prim and prissy dog with a perm. I’m here to tell of the gracious, …

These are very interesting fish that I saw before I really knew anything about fish. My uncle kept two 8 inch kissers in his fifty five gallon aquarium in the early 1980’s. These fish fascinated me. They would really kiss!
The kissers that I have …

I bought this seed mix for my pet mice and rats but it’s not really a very good food at all. They’d rather eat anything else besides this stuff. Most of the time it just sits in their bowls untouched. They will eat it if I don’t give them …

German Shepherds were originally bred for herding animals in Germany. But people noticed other good qualities they could use. German shepherd dogs are great for protection and obedience.

Recently while shopping in …

Over the decades, I’ve fed my dogs all kinds of dry dog food, and I’m a bit amazed that my current dogs, while loving all food, do have a definite preference for Pedigree Small Crunchy Bites Adult Dog Food.
I never purchased any Pedigree product until acquiring my first two …

As I write this review, I am pretty disgusted and shocked at the fact that I was rejected as a suitable owner for a rescue dog from these kennels. Although I must say that I do admire anyone who devotes their time to re-homing abused and abandoned dogs …

Of all the pets that I have, and I have a lot, the most bizarre one, according to others, is my rock python snake.

If ever you mention even considering buying a weimaraner your most likely to get one of two reactions. The first being confusion. “You want to get a what? A Whiney-Arm-Ah?” Not everyone knows what they are after all. The second, from those who have owned, or know a Weimaraner …

We all know what comfort and joy a pet can bring to our lives. To own a pet is to be able to love and care for something that needs it. Two months ago my pet dog, Chipper, was hit by a car and I was horrified. I …

If you’re looking for a dog that’s friendly, peppy, loyal, barks at strangers and is proficient at killing small woodland creatures, you should consider a Jack-Russell Terrier.
My Jack-Russell, Puddles, is aptly named because she urinates every time I pet her. I don’t think that all Jack-Russell Terriers suffer from …

I adopted a dog, Chase, from the Humane Society. He was very sick and had all sorts of problems. He is all better now. He is the only dog, that I can remember, that wasn’t just nuts about food. He likes food, but not excited …

I inherited this cat as a stray when I moved into my townhouse and decided to adopt it since it kept coming back to scurry around for food, after I had given it some once.
I decided to keep it and name it Nemo, and it surprisingly responds to that …

Approximately three years ago, my mother-in-law purchased the Bumi Tug Toy by West Paw Design from Pet Valu for our toy-destroying golden retriever.

When I saw this WaterDog Pet Drinking Fountain, I hadn’t even realized that I should have been in the market for this type of item and couldn’t imagine how I ever did without this. I think any dog owner should have this in their backyard, patio, wherever their dogs …
