“Oh, my dear Shih Tzu ‘Lucky’, I am back home!” I called my lovely pet ‘Lucky’ once I opened my car door. ‘Lucky’ seemed to be happy that I came back to reunite with him. That made me happy too. I always tell myself -”that’s …

We were looking for kitten for six months. It was a very serious decision for us and we obviously didn’t want to get a sick cat (happens too often - believe me). But all these pets stores never guarantee you anything like that. They don’t have any kind of …

When we lost our beloved 15 year old umbrella cockatoo, Poppy, I was brokenhearted — and at the same time relieved. This is a bird with the potential to live for 80 to 100 years, and I had been 40 years old when we adopted her. Always in the …

My family has two pugs and I figured I would review them in case anyone was considering buying one (or two).

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.
So when my cat was in bad shape …

In its attractive, orange lidded 1 oz container, the Wardley Essentials brand goldfish food caught my eye at the local Wal-mart. Now, not many people care too much about the 28 cent investment they make in a “feeder fish” goldfish from Wal-mart stores, but whether they are caring …

I heard really great things about the Kong products, especially for their durability, so I decided to give their products a try. I picked the Extreme Kong Ball because it was the least expensive of the products (Kong is very expensive!), and I wanted to try them before investing …
