I purchased a Nylabone Rope Toy for my dogs, thinking that they would love to play tug of war with it since they will tug on other things that they find. I also thought they would like to play with each other by using the Nylabone Rope Toy. I …

I have had my first Basenji for almost 16 years now. He is a joy, but we have had our trials. When I first met this breed in person I was told how temperamental they were and how nasty the breed was. I was told this …

Those of you who own a malteze, shitzu or laso apso know how common having kidney stones or crystals in their urine occurs. It is a known heriditary factor in these breeds. Struvite stones can easily be dissolved. However many doctors know that oxalate ones must be …

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 …

I admit it: I LOVE CRITTERS! At one time, I bred tiny, tiny toy poodles of the best pedagrees and really enjoyed loving everyone of them. Another time, I bred the most beautiful Siberian Huskeys that I EVER saw. Still, now that I am older, as is my husband …

I have a dog who I named Sugar-Ray. I’ve had a lot of people say that it’s a strange name, but I was actually thinking of the band “Sugar-Ray” when I named him as a puppy. I didn’t name him that because I necessarily loved the band very much …

I have been a dog owner my whole life. Growing up, it was all big dogs, not lap dogs. I lived in the country and the dogs had room to run so we had Collies and Retrievers and German Shepards etc.
About 7-8 years ago, I got interested in …

My five year old golden retriever absolutely loves baths, and has for most of her life. I consider this a blessing. Having previously worked as a receptionist and assistant at for a dog groomer, I’ve seen the fights dogs can put up when they don’t want to be groomed. …

There are some consumers that shop specialty stores for all of their pet supply needs, but I’m definitely not one of them. I normally purchase my dog food from the grocery store or some other giant retailer and I couldn’t care less what kind it is. I’ve …

Yesterday’s News is the ultimate in recycling. Recycled newspapers are reformed into tiny super-absorbent pellets for use in your cat’s litter box. For shape and absorbency, their only competitor is Feline Pine, which re-uses pine shavings and saw dust. However, Yesterday’s News doesn’t have its own …

The Mongolian gerbil (meriones unguiculatus) was discovered in the early 1950s and by 1954 had been introduced to the US to be used in laboratory research. Because they proved easy to maintain,interesting to observe,easy to handle,and cute in appearance,captive-bred gerbils had found their way out of the laboratory and …

My Newfoundland is the sweetest dog that I ever met! She is 120 pounds of pure delight and she looks like a bear. In fact her name is Meadow Bear. I never thought that a dog could be so sweet. She is very attuned to …

I had a pet problem. My cat wouldn’t drink out of his water dish. And since he never drank out of it, the water would start to get stagnant and gross, meaning that he certainly wasn’t going to drink out of it, then. But he did …

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 …

My family has two pugs and I figured I would review them in case anyone was considering buying one (or two).
We really love our pugs! They are great dogs for families because they have a great temperment and are not very large, but at the same …

Why doesn’t everybody think crows are hilarious and interesting when they so clearly are? Have you ever decided to have a caw-off with a crow? Why not? They’ll do it as long as you let them unless somebody drops a french fry in their line of …

I love my Sundowner horse trailer. The workmanship is absolutely extraordinary! The trailer outside and inside looks like a finish carpenter did the work on it. There isn’t a spot on the trailer where a horse can hook or cut themselves. All normal things that …

I recently took my dog to Emerson Pet Clinic for his annual shots. The Vet administered all 3 shots
in the same location, all within an inch of each other. These shots were given in his upper side, not on the back of the neck where they have …

Even though Solid Gold’s Hund-n-Flocken Adult Dog food has become an extremely popular food for owners to feed to their dogs, I am personally not thrilled with it. As an owner, show handler, and breeder of Labrador Retrievers, as well as a dog trainer and foster Mom …

I had never tried any of the bathing wipes for cats before. We just always washed our cat in the sink, amidst much protest! Our cat is now 20 pounds and it takes both of us to fight with him just to get him in the water, let alone …

I have a 75lb German Shepherd who loves her toys, especially the plush squeaky toys. I don’t, however, love the stuffing that ends up all over my house after she’s done mutilating them. I ran across these Skineeez Dog Toys one day while surfing the web.
I …

Papillon means butterfly in French. Papillons get their name due to their large butterfly-like ears. These dogs were not originally bred for a lot of hard work, but are surprisingly athletic. They make great family pets are are great for a few laughs.
I have owned a papillon for …

I have two wonderful Basenji dogs. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the breed, these dogs are quite willful and exhuberant and have tons of energy that sometimes gets them into trouble if they aren’t properly entertained. I got both of my dogs from a friend of mine who …

We have had to have two of our beloved pets …

I was really surprised when I picked up …

I love my Beagle and I want him to be as comfortable as possible at all times. This means more than just feeding him and petting him, or allowing him to have his own log cabin dog house from Petco. It means that he must feel comfortably clean, with …

This is another cat food I tried on my cats. The food comes in a little white plastic tray and there is a tough piece of aluminum foil on top. They are sold individually just like cans of cat food and weigh 3.5 ounces. There are only a few …

I was desperately in need of a harness for my larger dog, and this was the only one that I could find at PetSmart. Although I like how adjustable this harness is, the design is not as good as other harnesses I’ve bought in the past despite being a …

We were at the store a couple weeks ago picking up Easter gifts for our two girls and we remembered the cat. Since I knew our oldest daughter would be upset if we didn’t get him anything, I went to the pet department and bought him a Pureness Auto …

I have two very temperamental cats who like things a certain ways. They like their litter a certain way. I’m not much of a fan of cleaning up after them, which is why they’re really my husband’s cats, but I thought that maybe there was a way to make …

A 50 pound bag, which only costs about $14, can last us nearly three …

I love dogs. For the past year that I’ve had my dog, Booboo, I always make sure that she has everything that she needs. Whenever I feel that she’s not her usual self, I call the vet immediately. I remember taking her to the vet the first time she …

The pet shop is located …

We try to be environmentally conscious, so that was immediately a concern when selecting a litter, however …

I personally will never get another hamster as a pet. I had a small Teddy Bear hamster in my childhood, and my son recently asked me to get one. My answer was, “No way, Jose!”. I remember all the annoying things about my hamster. His name …

If you are a pet lover and you choose your pet’s veterinarian based on the quality of the medical care offered, then I highly recommend to you the Coral Veterinary Clinic. I have several cats as well as two dogs and the care that they have received there …

My cat was going through a rough spell after we brought home a puppy. She decided to urinate all over the house and on everything you could possibly think of. I’m pretty sure she felt like she had nothing of her own and needed to mark absolutely everything …
