Bird Talk Magazine is a magazine made for bird owners and bird lovers. Since I own a parakeet myself, I have found Bird Talk really helpful. Every issue they feature a different bird like conures, macaws, cockatiels, and more. They have places where you can write in and tell …

I live in Northern California, just about 85 miles South of Oregon. We have many, many hard storms here. Many times, they are surprise storms. The surprise storms are not surprises to those of us with pets, especially dogs.
This morning, I watched my beagle, Beagle Bailey, behaving totally anxious …

A little bit on the expensive side, Tick and Flea Shampoo from Pulvex Pet Care Products was recommended to me by the sales man at a local pet shop, but I could not really make out weather he had done so because it is the best the market has …

I recently had the chance to try out Purina Beneful IncrediBites dog food for my dogs. I have always liked the Beneful variety of food, and Purina is a trusted name so I wasn’t hesitant to give it a try, with one proviso. One of my dogs …

I have two eight month old puppies who have very different personalities and appetite. They started out eating their dog food just fine. Making the change from wet to dry perfectly fine as well. But as they got older and my parents exposed them to human food, they became …

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 …

I have two teeny, tiny chihuahuas. Seriously, they are ridiculously small - Ollie is my big boy at 4 pounds, Pearl weighs in at 2.5 pounds. Needless to say, they can’t get on or off the sofa or the bed by themselves so stairs are a necessity. …

I have a lot of small pocket pets and exotics as a side effect of working at a petstore. So when my regular small animal vet moved to Pheonix I was a bit at a loss. Small animal vets are not very common because they require a lot of …

If you have a dog weight management is one of the most important things you can do for him. Most large dogs do not have the self control needed to stop themselves from over eating. If you put a bowl of food in front of a …

I’d heard a lot of good things about the Furminator grooming tool for removing the undercoat of shedding dogs and cats. It seemed a bit too good to be true, but curiosity got the best of me and I ordered one off of the internet. When I got the …

I admit, I ran out of my dog’s normal dog food, and was in a hurry to get home. I was at The Dollar Store, saw some dog food, there, and thought, that would do, until I could get the Pedigree Dog Food I have always fed my Beagle. …

My dog is not just a pet, but a member of our family. At nearly three years of age, I take great care to find healthy treats and toys for my Labrador Retriever, which means frequent trips to the pet store and lots of reading.
The average dog treat …

There are pros and cons to the Nutri Dog All Natural Y-Shaped Dental Chew and at the head of the list for me is the con for the obnoxious order that goes with it. For example, I actually gave this last one to one of my dogs about …

This is the worst year for fleas that I have ever experienced! I have three dogs, who are inside dogs, but of course, they do go outside to use the bathroom. I have always used the flea medication that you apply to the back of the animals necks, and …

The greatest dog I’ve ever met so far. I’ve never seen a pup quite like this one. I’ve always been more fond of small dogs because they just seemed easier to deal with, they eat less, are easier to bathe, and their poop is smaller to deal with.
Well, …

A few months ago, my wife and I started worrying about a dog of ours. She was old and fat — about 11-years-old and a solid 20 pounds overweight (that’s not good for a Labrador/dachshund mix). The old girl just kind of lounged around the house and had gotten …

My younger cat has very long fur. Though he did not shed very much when I first got him as a kitten, he did spend a lot of time grooming himself and developed hairballs at only 6 months of age. I’d had luck previously with hairball gel with malt …

Our fishes do enjoy eating pellets and fish flakes so we bought them Todays Flakes Staple Food. It was really a complete meal for the fishes and it was healthy as well. If you are a fish pet owner, you would consider buying Todays Flakes Staple food because most …

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 …

When a friend gave me his dog, a Japanese Spitz breed, I encountered a problem with its fur getting easily shedding off. Almost everyday, I keep vacuuming the floor, carpet, and furnitures whereever the dog’s hairs are.
I took my dog to the vet and gave me this Refamol …

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 …

To have a man’s best friend, as I have proven, is a great way to release stress; but dogs can attract unwanted guests that you too have to deal with. Otherwise ticks and fleas can add more stress not just to your dog but to yourself as well. Experience, is …

If dogs could talk, my miniature schnauzer would say, “You don’t give me anything else. When this is all I have, then I guess it’s good.”
My miniature schnauzer has casts and crystals in her urine. It is a painful condition, but can be controlled and even eliminated …

I used to be happy to support the Cat Protection Society by making cash donations and also giving any unused goods to their op shop located on the street level underneath the office and cattery upstairs. I liked the fact that they do not put down any cats and …

I decided to try this cat food one day and so I bought a can. Truthfully, my cats wouldn’t even touch this stuff and I don’t blame them. And even a stray cat that lives in my yard turned her nose up at it, too. And if a stray …

Would you drink a glass of water that has been sitting out on your counter for a few days? No, of course not. It would be bland, tasteless, and not very fresh. Now think about the water that your pets are drinking. I am here to tell you that …

When it comes to the care of my pets, I take it very seriously. I have worked in enough pet businesses for the last twenty years that I know a true professional who is both compassionate and knows their stuff. When I first moved to Lansing I …

These are very interesting fish that I saw before I really knew anything about fish. My uncle kept two 8 inch kissers in his fifty five gallon aquarium in the early 1980’s. These fish fascinated me. They would really kiss!
The kissers that I have …
