I have a very athletic Akita/Boxer mix that was pretty wild as a puppy. Yoshi would dart around the horse’s legs while I was riding, would bolt out into the fields out of earshot of my “Come” command, and was very interested in squirrels on the other side …

I don’t particularly like the idea of birds as pets inside the home. I have lived in a home where birds were kept, though they weren’t mine. Those birds were parakeets and love birds, and I found them quite annoying most of the time!
First of all, birds …

About a year ago I got two puppies from a neighbor. They’re siblings and mutt so they have different coats to go with their very different personalities. I got them during winter so they had been inside until it started getting warm enough that we’d let them go outside …

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 …

This is one of the worst litterboxes ever made. If you think spending the extra money for the cats is worth it, think again. This litterbox will not only give you cleaning nightmares, it is also not even close to as efficient as they make it out to be.
At …

A while ago I bought some large straw tunnels for my pet mice from the pet store. They are “L” shaped and look a bit like a hair dryer, with a big bulge at the bend. Boy, my mice absolutely loved these tunnels! They went nuts over them and …

My dogs are my babies so …

Greenies are treats for cats and dogs and most of the animals I know love them. When all three of my cats agree on something, it is nothing less than a miracle and my three fight over these. For the dogs, they come in a bone shape and in …

I have three cats. They use the litter box every few hours, I think because two of them are older and drink water all day. It’s not what I prefer, but the only practical place for the litter box is our bathroom. Anyway, I clean the cat box every …
