I visited the website …

For the most part, I avoid giving my pets cheap food. Wal-Mart’s “Special Kitty” cat food is definitely on the low end of the food-quality spectrum. This store brand is not the most nutritionally complete. I would not, in fact, feed this on a regular basis. Rather, I would …

Don’t go here! I first used this animal emergency room years ago when my son’s box turtle wouldn’t eat and all the literature we had said it was a respiratory infection. It wasn’t and they were really helpful if a little expensive.

I have purchased Old Roy brand dry dog food for many years and feel very satisfied with the ingredients, as far as providing high quality nutrition that is right up there when compared to other dry dog food. I read the side of the bag where the percentages of …

Many people have this idea that Siberian huskies are part wolf and are aggressive. I would Like to smack those people in the head and hand them a real educational book about huskies. Contrary to what many people believe the Huskies are normal domesticated dogs. In fact all dogs …
