These are wonderful pets. They make an excellent addition to any aquarium. They are substrate feeders which means they eat small particles of food and microorganisms in the water. Due to this I would not recommend them for new aquariums. Well planted aquariums with some algae growth are …

I found this wonderful new groomer for my daughter’s Chinese Crested. Last week a friend of mine recommended I go see Candice over at Rocko’s Pet Depot. I called and made an appointment for the following Thursday. Candice was wonderful.
When I first walked in I was told the …

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 …

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 …

When I moved to Kansas 7 years ago, I needed a vet clinic for my [then] 8 year old dog Shadow. My family, who lived in the area, recommended their clinic, which was Mission Vet Clinic (not to be confused with Mission Emergency Animal Hospital a few blocks away).
From …

I started buying this food for two reasons - one of my dogs was refusing to eat his current food, and both of my dogs had begun gaining some weight. I am now extremely faithful to this brand because no matter what dry dog food I try, nothing seems …

Before switching our golden retriever to a raw diet, she had a terrible coat, was prone to excessive shedding, she had terrible season allergies and suffered from dry and itchy skin, among other things. When we made the decision to switch her from kibble to a raw diet I …

If, like me, you have cat(s) with frequent hairballs, you know how unpleasant and distressing it is for both of you. Two years ago, at my wit’s end, I walked into a specialty pet store and begged the clerk for some way to stop the endless upchucking.
She recommended …

My Australian Cattle Dog came to me one morning over a year ago. He was dirty and tired, and looked like he had been lost for a long time.

Dog Chow Menu is one of the dog food brands I have tried for my dog. Sometimes I like to give my dog some food more elaborated, but I don’t always have time for that, and I don’t want to spoil him.
Dog Chow offers a wide variety of already …

I saw this product ion TV and thought it would be the perfect solution to my cat’s sharp claws. He doesn’t like getting the claws clipped, but if we leave them too sharp, he shreds things. This product claims to file the claws down gently, so I …

In February of 2012, I lost my best friend. She was a geriatric, toy poodle named Gidget. She was with me for nearly two decades. I’ve had a canine companion for as long as I can remember and for the first time in my life, I found myself without a …

A few years ago I was forced to take a job in another state for awhile to make ends meet. Unfortunately I couldn’t take my dogs with me. Dalmatians don’t live well in apartments. I have been a dog trainer and I raise and train Dalmatians. …

Playful Pet Cat Toy is a teaser wand - a short plastic stick with a string tied to it, with some feathers attached to the end of the string. Simple, but cats love it. You just move the wand around, running the string along the floor, bed, or couch, …

Growing up in a home with dogs and now having a dog of mine, I can say that I’m able to understand the sentiments of dogs’ owner. For years of having dogs, the most troublesome part is when they are sick and scratching.
My dogs are my babies so …

Following the long mourning period after the death of my 14 year old dalmation, my daughter consipired with my husband to bring a puppy into the home. I was against the idea, insisting there wasn’t a dog on the planet who would ever compare.
My daughter found a rescue …

I have two cats whose “output” can make you think there are 20 cats in the room in a short period of time. I was looking for an easier (aka ME friendly) way to clean their litter as often as it needs to be done. I thought …

I always disliked going on vacation when I had to leave my two beloved dogs behind. Last time I boarded them at the vet’s office they both refused to eat for a good 3 days!
But since learning about Going to Granma’s I head towards my destination with …

There is a reason that the queen of England favors the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. It is a truly amazing breed. Now, its cousin the Cardigan is a remarkable dog too, but I’ll focus on the one I know better. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are short in height, …

I’m a dog person, I married a cat person. Even worse I married a cat person who had been bitten by a dog at 6 years old and wanted nothing to do with them. It took 10 years to persuade my partner to let me have a …

We have a new puppy. She is now a little over 3 months old and she chews everything. Our feet, the furniture, the cat, everything. She is also in that annoying biting stage. We’ve been reading about how to handle it, and most sources say to get her something …

Soft Claws are a wonderful product to use on your cat. I prefer them 10 fold to the typical declawing surgery that is so popular among many veterinarians. Declawing is literally amputation of the cat’s toe at the first knuckle. Some cats don’t heal properly from the surgery, and …

Exo Terra Heat Glo Infrared 75 Watt Bulb
Exo Terra is known for their popular reptile products, but I really hope this product does not become popular. It is such an awful product; I should have not have listened to the Petsmart employee that told me to get it for …

Recently I decided to buy a bag of EverPet Basics Unscented Cat Litter from my local Dollar General. The cat litter they have is lower in price than other places so I was hoping it would be a good bargain. However, it wasn’t a bargain at all. The cat …

If you have a cat or kitten, or know someone who does, then you might know how difficult it can be to bathe a kitty. Yes, cats get dirty too, even inside cats. I used to force my male cat to take a bath, and even though he was …

I was completely oblivious to the the concept of dog tear staining until I bought Oz the bichon home.
After a couple of months I noticed that the fur under his eyes was becoming a rusty reddish colour. I must admit that I was concerned enough to take him to …

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 …

I have a medium size female dog (it is a boxer) who was very sick a few months ago so you can imagine that since then I am always alert to her health. The vet indicated me Royal Canin food at that time and I continued giving this food …

When my puppy grew a small lump on his leg I was concerned and took him to Lynfield Vets. When I got there I was happy as it was very quiet and there were no other dogs around as my puppy gets very excited around other dogs as …

I love the idea that our critters get their own Christmas stocking for Christmas! Our beagle is getting more balls to roll around, as he loves to do, and he is getting Doggie Breath Mints from Bed, Bath, and Beyond! (Actually, even I don’t get breath mints from THAT …

I have been buying Scoop Away cat litter for years. I do easily switch between brands, depending on price, but I like going back to Scoop Away because I know that it delivers.
It clumps up the waste nice and hard and quickly. I have never had a clump fall …

I have two very large dogs who are my best friends so their health and comfort is very important to me. I use K9 Advantix on them to kill and prevent fleas, ticks and mosquitos from biting them or laying their eggs on them. Since I started using that …

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 …

Approximately three years ago, my mother-in-law purchased the Bumi Tug Toy by West Paw Design from Pet Valu for our toy-destroying golden retriever. At first, our dog showed little interest in this toy, which wasn’t surprising, she had never shown interest in ‘chew toys’, she always preferred the destructible …

When our dogs got infected with flea and ticks last year, we find it hard to control even we bath them using soap especially for tick and flea. The infestation is still there and it does not only affect our dogs’ health but as well as ours. I could …

In my opinion the Red bone Coon hound is the best pet a person could ever hope to have. Sharing my life with a Red Bone has been a pleasure. No more loyal or intelligent creature has ever lived. My Red Bone Coon Hound is smart, loyal, friendly, protective, caring …

I was given a yorkie and she had hair down to the ground. I though she was so cute. The Yorkie Breed is a very noisy type of dog. I was not given the pleasure to raise her from puppy stage but as a older dog …

Having owned two schnoodles for the past 8 years, I can say with certainty this breed is one of the best all-around dog breeds on the market today.

The fire hydrant shape of the bottle of this Castor & Pollux Head to Tail Pet Shampoo was just too cute for me to pass up. I have two puppies and they have thick fur and even though they are still small and don’t really get into enough trouble …

It takes a resilient dog toy to satisfy tough chewers, such as my Labrador Retriever. We’ve purchased gobs of balls, rubberized sticks, bones and miscellaneous canine exercisers over the years and ended up throwing nearly all of them away. None were a match for my dog’s overactive …

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 …

My dog eats very little and is very picky so when Royal Canin Medium Adult Dog Dry Food was referred to me as a good food I decided to try it. This one is indicated for dogs with one to seven years old and with a weight range from …

We just bought a new parakeet. We had one parakeet and we thought he may be lonely so we got him a mate. We bought a girl. She is so cute. We weren’t sure if we should have two birds or stick with one. Many people told me that …

If ever you mention even considering buying a weimaraner your most likely to get one of two reactions. The first being confusion. “You want to get a what? A Whiney-Arm-Ah?” Not everyone knows what they are after all. The second, from those who have owned, or know a Weimaraner …
