German Shepherds were originally bred for herding animals in Germany. But people noticed other good qualities they could use. German shepherd dogs are great for protection and obedience.

I just acquired a new pet and I’m happy to have her. She’s a Shih Tzu breed and just turned 3 months last January 2, 2008. A Shih Tzu puppy is a friendly dog, active, happy, and affectionate breed.
They are considered as toy dogs, thus this type of …

My former next-door neighbor had a pit bull. I did not trust this dog at all as it acted very crazy. It was like it had a split personality; two dogs in one body. I was actually scared of it a bit, as I never knew what it might …

My horses get supplements added to their diets. Every one of them has different needs and requirements, so I tailor and individualize the supplements according to each one’s needs. Something that each horse gets, however, is Kaeco Biotin 800 mg with Yucca. Biotin is very important for health hoof …

As I write this review, I am pretty disgusted and shocked at the fact that I was rejected as a suitable owner for a rescue dog from these kennels. Although I must say that I do admire anyone who devotes their time to re-homing abused and abandoned dogs …

YAY for Nature’s Miracle. Joy for my poor carpets and poor me that has to constantly deal with the cat hairballs and occasional accident. Nothing else really works. All any other stain/odor product makes me is disappointed that I didn’t buy Nature’s Miracle. I have even …

Many people like to look for a unique pet rather than the same old boring cat, dog, rabbit, hamster etc … a ferret is usually one of the more unique pet ideas.
I used to think I wanted one, and that it would be so cool to have a …

All of the Piranha …

Recently, my doggies earned themselves a treat so I purchased Dentley’s Chewrite Basted Beef Rawhide Chewflips at PetSmart. There are a lot of good points to purchasing this product.

We were looking for kitten for six months. It was a very serious decision for us and we obviously didn’t want to get a sick cat (happens too often - believe me). But all these pets stores never guarantee you anything like that. They don’t have any kind of …

Preferred Choice might be a generic brand of cat food, but my cats don’t seem to care at all. They go absolutely insane for it, unlike any dry food I’ve ever fed them (they love wet cat food).
Only 28 cents Canadian a can, the cans even come with …

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 …

In its attractive, orange lidded 1 oz container, the Wardley Essentials brand goldfish food caught my eye at the local Wal-mart. Now, not many people care too much about the 28 cent investment they make in a “feeder fish” goldfish from Wal-mart stores, but whether they are caring …

I have a very hyper male cocker spaniel. I rescued him and he hasn’t exactly got what I would call “manners”. One of his biggest problems is pulling the lead from my hand while we are on walks. It doesn’t appear to bother him that the collar is choking …

My German shepherd dog has always been spirited, he has pulled since he was a puppy and nothing that I tried,(including training,)stopped him from pulling me, the older he got of course the stronger he got, and the more I got dragged around. One day despite my better judgement, I …

I have owned my Balinese cat for about ten years. The Balinese is a longhaired Siamese and he acts like a Siamese in temperament and behavior in most areas. He has a body much like a regular cat (not the too-thin body of the Extreme Siamese) but it is …
