As a dog owner, one of the worst chores we always dread is trimming our dog’s nails. They all hate it and act like you’re abusing them. My youngest one bites you if you try to trim his nails. We’ve tried everything to make it easier …

The Pet Botanics E-Collar is a winner in our household. It’s been used by multiple dogs, though I wish none had ever needed it.

My family has had a female black lab now for 8 years and she is a great family pet. When we got her, the owner planned to put her with her other puppy siblings into a bag and drown her in a stream. We got them …

Most dogs love fish, and they rarely get it. I’ll bet that if some company made a fish flavored dog food, it would sell like mad. Well, anyway, I found some fish flavored dog treats that are not too bad.
My dog Bandit will eat almost anything, …

I happen to be a person very fond of pets, and my latest edition to the cage is worth explaining. About ten years ago, I introduced a pair of parakeets into the house, but they died away quickly due to lack of vitamins in the bird food. …

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.

We bought SmartyKat SuperScratcher for our three cats, so that they’d use it for clawing. Even though their claws are trimmed, they still want to scratch on occasion, and we wouldn’t want them to do it on furniture. This SuperScratcher is made of cardboard, it is actually a flat …

In January of 2008, my family went to Niagara Falls for my brother’s hockey tournament. During one of his games, my mom got a phone call. I wasn’t listening; I was watching the game. The next day, we went home. My brother went home …

These new dog Pup-Peroni Ribs snacks went over very well with my two young dogs, who had wagging tails and big eyes as I fed the treats to them.

Okay, I’ll get the one bad part of this review out of the way right now: too many crunchy Aquari-Yums make my cats throw up. No idea why. Maybe they eat them too fast (certainly possible), maybe they have too much ash or something (also very …

For almost a year now, I’ve been caring for this one adorable mini-dachshund called “Tokwa”. Apparently, these dogs are probably the most adorable and sweetest pet that you can get. I know that because my family had never missed having a dog for a pet. We’ve had mongrels from …

I strongly oppose the idea of declawing a cat. The procedure is very intrusive and painful, the recovery is long, and if things go bad it will have a permanent damaging effect on the cat. I once saw a picture of a cat who was a victim of botched …

I saw my Jack Russell Terrier in the window of a mall pet store while Christmas shopping and fell in love with him. When I returned to the same mall three months later he was still there, stuck in the same cage just begging to be brought home. I …
