My 1-year-old mixed breed dog has a tendency to chew through anything he can fit in his mouth. It is difficult finding a toy for him that will last longer than a day - even the extra-durable Nylabone chew toys get destroyed in a matter of minutes. …

I’ve had my cat for over 14 years, now, and during those years, have experimented with dozens of brands which include the the gels, wheat, pine, corn, clay varieties. Marketing slogans don’t impress me which is why I’ve only tried the self-proclaimed “world’s best cat litter” two months ago. …

As a baby pup, the Maltipoo’s teeth are not very sharp as they’re …

This is really a full service veterinarian’s office. There are 6 vets there. 3 women and 3 men. There is only one vet who I don’t really care for. Most of the vets are kind of animal specific. The 2 Margarets are …

Let me start by saying that this is not my favorite dog toy. The price was right and it looked like it would be a great way to keep my dog occupied but he was able to destroy it much too easily. This toy is designed for …

When I brought my two new baby rats home from the pet store, they both suffered a respitory ailment. Perhaps they caught it from the slightly chilly outside air, as rats don’t handle chills very well. Needless to say, I needed something to treat them with and the pet …
