Recently my boyfriend and I adopted a kitten. It has been a lot of fun learning to accommodate the little critter, however one thing that has not been all that fun is dealing with his kitty litter. We try to be fairly environmentally conscious and therefore did not want …

Have you ever looked at an animal and suddenly felt like you would explode with emotion because it was so adorable? I know I have. Every time that I look at the fuzzy bundle of fur I call Piper, I get the giggles. Piper is my …

Last month we got an Australian Sheppard puppy, it is our second Aussie. I think they are wonderful dogs, but not the pet for everyone. We tried to make an outdoor dog out of our first Aussie, and it was a big mistake. She wanted to be around people. …

Two years ago I started looking for a dog for my daughter to show. Because she is on the smaller side I wanted to get her something smaller, but most of the toy breeds seem to yap and bark too much. I also needed something that would be able …

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 …

I am a beagle person. I’ve had two, both very different, and I yearn to someday have another one.
Growing up, I had a black and white beagle. She was a digger. You simply could not keep her from digging under the fence. She had wanderlust 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. …

I have had sugar gliders for over 11 years. I have had many babies born in my home as well as have rescued many gliders from bad situations. Gliders are NOT for everyone. Anyone considering gliders as pets should do lots of research before bringing gliders …

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 currently have five cats and a dog, and I have had many other pets in the past, so I have my hands full trying to keep up with all their shots, medicines, and so on. Thankfully, the veterinarians at Middletown Veterinary Clinic take the brunt of that burden …

I’m a fan of Paul Mitchell Shampoo, so when the company released their line of grooming products for pets, I happily jumped at the opportunity to test drive it on my own dogs. I got the John Paul Pet whitening shampoo as my dogs have white beards and I’ve …

My cat injured his paw some how while playing outside. The injury was a small gash on his paw that was sensitive to touch, bleeding and hard to clean. However, my boyfriend ran out to the local pet shop and picked up some of the Vetericyn Wound and Skin …

My cat has recently had 5 kittens and at 6 weeks it was time to worm them. I found that Aristopet Puppy & Kitten Worm Syrup was easy to administer but you have to provide your own dropper. The instructions on the bottle are easy to follow you …

The Kong folks not only distribute neat toys but now they have nifty treats and such to put in them. My dogs are absolutely enamored with their Kong Classic and Kong Stuff-A-Balls. One of the things I’ll use to treat them with is these Kong Stuff-’N.
Kong Stuff-’N …

I give my dog Beneful on occasion as a special treat. The reason I do not give it to her more often is because number one, dry dog food is healthier and less fattening, and number two, this stuff is expensive! It is normally two dollars for just one! …

CINDRA Dog Shampoos, Conditioners and other grooming aids are simply the best. CINDRA was created for the professional dog groomer and show dog handler but as long as you use the right one for your dog’s coat type, your dog can look like a champion too! I watched the …

Our pet Doberman named Jaguar is one giant fierce-looking dog but with a soft heart. Everytime people in our neighborhood see and hear him bark, they got petrified because of his huge voice and very big and strong physique. What they do not know about …

Let me start by saying that this is not my favorite dog toy. The price was right and it looked like it would be a great way to keep my dog occupied but he was able to destroy it much too easily. This toy is designed for …

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 had a male black Rhodesian Ridgeback with a wild streak you cannot begin to imagine. This dog was a bounty of energy from daybreak all day til nightfall. He was a great guard dog and a wonderful member of our family. He was 6 years old when we …

I used to take a friend’s dog to the Banfield in Savannah, so I felt comfortable taking my dogs for a routine checkup and vaccinations was a safe bet. It was a really good experience, with friendly staff. They definitely treated my dog like he was their own.
It’s a …

Once, having returned from a short trip, I had discovered that one of my kitties failed to use his litterbox. Obviously, my absense was a big stress for him, and some cats will react to stress in this way. He must have peed in the basement once or twice. …

I decided to switch up my dog’s food for something a bit more nutritious only to find that the new Rachel Ray Just 6 dog food was on sale. Having tried her other brand of dog food before (and being impressed) I decided to give it a try. I …

This book is a great book for someone who is considering getting a Dalmatian. This book contains information on the breed itself, as well as how to train your new dog. This book is very specific to the Dalmatian breed. I have found it very informative …

I heard really great things about the Kong products, especially for their durability, so I decided to give their products a try. I picked the Extreme Kong Ball because it was the least expensive of the products (Kong is very expensive!), and I wanted to try them before investing …

Fancy Feast may not be anywhere near high quality cat food, but it got my cat to eat and gain weight when no other cat food interested him. To me, that is worth a lot. Back in April of 2010 my older cat grew tired of his regular food. …

I have a very good relationship with my vet and when ever I have a problem I can always turn to him if it is during office hours. Last week I had a problem right at the close of hours. When I called there was absolutely no …

If you have never owned a Chow Chow dog, you’d better read up on them beforehand. They are not the kinds of dogs that people think they are. Known for their thick coats of fluffy fur, squat legs, and purple tongues, these dogs are quite temperamental. …

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 …

Ours was a stray baby turtle that we found once while walking our dog. We couldn’t find the mother, so we kept her and she’s been a great …

This is a very unique item for pet mice. It’s part house and part toy. I admit I was a bit skeptical when I bought it, as I have had terrible luck with wooden rodent toys. But to my utter surprise, the mice actually love this item! I have …

I picked up two Petmate black wire dog crates at Walmart last summer and am already in the market for replacements. These crates are NOT durable, and not good for anyone who travels with their dogs. The crates fold down flat into a suitcase style and have a black …

We have had many cats over the years, and we love our pets, but the problem is the annoying fur that they seem to leave in every room in the house. Our cat sheds a lot, especially in the warm summer months. Out furniture is often covered …

For those of us that can’t afford or really accommodate for a pet dog or cat, it seems the options available are considerably limited as we go smaller and smaller, usually into the rodent category in pursuit of viable options for potential pethood. In my childhood, living in a …

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 …
