Harness with tether Traditional seatbelt A lot of dogs do not ride along with us in our car the way we truly want them to, but is that the dog’s fault? If you have not taken the time to teach your dog how to act in the car, then how can you expect him to […]

Fear of thunderstorms can stem from several sources, but once the dog becomes fearful, it is a difficult and tiring process to reverse the effects. Most puppies are not fearful of storms – this comes […]

Some cost more than others and some require a veterinary prescription. In my opinion, the primary and important difference in flea prevention is in “speed of […]
Cats are more popular pets than dogs; however they visit the vet a lot less often, according to a study done last year by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Some statistics I have read estimate they see the vet half as often as dogs. Cats do, in fact, require regular veterinary visits. Our feline friends […]
I wanted to share some information with you about Intervertebral Disk Disease in dogs. The disease can occur in cats, but it is more common in dogs.
