When I first saw a commercial for a tool called FURminator De-Shedding Tool, I thought it looked like a good idea. Our family has a cat, who I love dearly, but what I don;t like is the fact that he sheds all over the house. The shedding …

As of this day I have 8 chinchillas and they are great. Chinchillas look like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel. They originally came from the Andes Mountains so are used to cooler temperatures. As a matter of fact they can suffer heat strokes in …

Cats are great pets. You don’t have to walk them in the rain or snow. You don’t have to wash them, and they don’t smell bad. Perhaps they’re a little harder to be master over (like with dogs), but that’s part of their charm - because their personality disallows …

If you are in the market for a lap dog that is good with children, get a Shih-tzu! We bought our puppy from a reputable breeder approximately six months ago. The breeder had already cage trained our puppy, Lucy. That cage is now her bed and safe “haven” …

The Hikari Gold is a premium line of fish food made specially for cichlid fishes. However, I’ve heard of many people who feed this food to Oscar fishes without experiencing any problems. I have an oscar fish, not a cichlid fish. I bought this food off of Amazon for …

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 …

If you are looking for a cute and friendly pet, then you should consider buying the Red Eared Slider turtle, which are commonly referred to in short form as RES. Be warned though, that caring for them is extremely troublesome, as they will fall sick easily in even a …

I love my Pug! I have a little black Pug named Larry. He is super needy, clingy, and follows me around all day long. Most people might get annoyed by this constant need for attention, but I like it.
Larry snores…alot. If you are bugged out by a noisy animal, …

Okay, the name alone makes this sound like some cheesy, late-night piece of junk that will fall apart in a month. I was hesitant to buy this as I had already purchased two dog brushes within about a two-month period and been disappointed with the results.
I visited the website …

My favorite among the toy group breed, the Maltese dog is a very lovable, fun-loving dog. We named ours ‘Cloud’ because he has pure white hair. We have him for 7 months now bringing happiness into our home. Maltese dogs normally range from 3-8 pounds. They are known to …

Unlike me, most people don’t have twenty-one dogs running around on their property but like me, most people who own dogs know how obnoxious loud barking can be. At first we would try using spray bottles but if we became absent minded and left the bottle(s) where the …

Our first dog was quite huge, and I did not want to restrict her too much as far as her lead is concerned so when the time came to buy a lead I decided against buying a standard chain lead and bought a retractable lead instead.
I don’t see the …

All cat litter is not created equally. In the years I have owned cats, I have tried every brand and every type, paper, clay etc. I have finally found the one that does what it says it will. Scoop Away Multi Cat is the most absorbant, easy …

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 …

I’ve always had dogs. Traditionally, they’ve been given Milk Bone treats. From time to time I’ve tried other things, but I trust Milk Bone, and since I’m very finicky about what I give my dogs, who I consider my children, I rarely stray. However, a few …

I started buying this food for two reasons - one of my dogs was refusing to eat his current food, and both of my dogs had begun gaining some weight. I am now extremely faithful to this brand because no matter what dry dog food I try, nothing seems …

First, I love …

We have three cats. I had always said one cat in the house is all I would have. My daughter talked me into the other two, and of course promised to help take care of them. Ends up, I am the one that feeds and cleans up after them. …

I guess I have always been a girly girl and somehow that care has even extended to my pets. As I tend to seek out spa like experiences, I now get to include my little Shih-Tzu in all the pampering fun.
Recently while shopping in …

I have an Eclectus parrot and she’s been in my life for over seventeen years now. Throughout that time I’ve read an extensive bit on what is best for her diet and how to provide this. She eats a lot of fresh fruits and veggies along with …

I live in Northern California, just about 85 miles South of Oregon. We have many, many hard storms here. Many times, they are surprise storms. The surprise storms are not surprises to those of us with pets, especially dogs.
This morning, I watched my beagle, Beagle Bailey, behaving totally anxious …
