By Raymond Angus Seniors pets are companions! Our friends! Whether they're pet dogs or pet cats or any of a thousand other pet animals we bring into our homes, they share our lives with us as virtual human beings. They faithfully stand beside us no matter what the world throws at us. They reward us with their trust and affection. We give them personal names. We dub them Fido, Butch, Fluffy

By Julee Roth Nothing is more frustrating than a pet with diarrhea or constant vomiting - I know, I have experienced these messy problems for one long month. I adopted two kittens from a large chain pet store. No more than 15 minutes into our journey home, adorable little Lulu had diarrhea. I thought it was related to the car ride, but after a few days of scooping wet, runny poop from both

By Hilary Basile Even though your kids want a pet and promise to take care of it, it doesn't necessarily mean they are mature enough to handle the responsibilities of pet ownership. Pets offer companionship and teach children important life lessons about friendship and responsibility, however, some pets are better than others for certain ages and lifestyles.

By Eleanor Van Natta Aristotle was talking about holism when he said that "the whole is more than the sum of its parts". Holistic and natural pet care means that you take into account the physical, mental, and emotional well being and health when treating or preventing disease in your pets. What this looks like in practice is that you do not just try to fix individual symptoms when treating

By Gary Le Mon A dozen generations ago when pet vitamins were unheard of, this good earth was a veritable victory garden. The air was clean, water pure, soil rich with nutrients.

By Paul J Easton Many dog owners find that their efforts toward training their pet are greatly aided by the use of a training collar. There are many types of collars available and each employs a different way to guide your pet, restrain him or discourage bad or disobedient behavior. Some training collars can harm a dog if they are not used appropriately or are the wrong size; so, you should

By Amanda K. Jones Believe it or not-but pet insurance is the most claimed-for type of insurance, more so than homeowners or auto insurance. Even so, the whole idea is pretty new to American pet owners. Less than 1 percent of 163 million cats and dogs in the United States are covered by a health insurance policy. In the United Kingdom and other European countries, 20-50 percent of the pet

By Susan Spencer Leaving your dog or cat at home for extended periods of time while you're traveling can be trying for both you and your pet. You don't want to inconvenience your friends or family members by asking them to care for your pet while you're gone. You could board her at the vet, but that is also stressful for her. And you worry about the exposure to the other animals that are sick.

By Julius Robinson The first dog I ever owned was Taz, a shorthaired, dingo-like medium male mutt with a handsome face and intelligent eyes.

By John Birch The basic choice we have when we look for a petfood for our dog or cat is whether to go for a dry complete mix, or a moist/canned food. The main criteria to consider are the place you shop, how much money you would like to spend and the level of convenience, palatability and digestibility desired. The difference in moisture content among the various types of pet food impacts the

By Kiya Sama Obesity in cats and dogs comes from the same cause as in human beings - the body takes in more energy than it puts out. Life is too easy, food too available. Too much food and too little exercise, along with a low metabolism rate, can make your pet balloon up fast. One cat in every 10 is overweight. Four dogs in every 10 are overweight. Why is this cause for worry? You love your pet

By Mandy Kocevar In the wake of Disney/Pixar's triumphant film Ratatouille, kids may start wanting a furry, little Remy of their own.

But the rats sold in pet stores are far different than their cousins who inhabit

By Tonia Jordan Pets can have very beneficial effects on their owners. They're stimulating, entertaining, and can even improve the general health and well-being of an owner, such as lowering blood pressure or relieving stress. As humans, we often seek companionship and we find that easily in the pet-owner relationship. Before getting a new pet, though, there are several things we should think

By Tracey Wilson Throughout the last several years, understanding animals has greatly evolved. Horrible, nightmarish acts were carried out on animals, all in the name of science.

The truth of the matter is, they are some of the cleanest, healthiest animals you could ask for. They require no

The other dog training experts feel that a flowerbed is a flowerbed, and no dog should even

By Nicholas Rodriguez Before you go and buy a pet on impulse, you should sit back and think. Think about who wants the pet, who is going to take care of the pet, and vital things that will effect the pet's life. You don't want to get a pet, and then realize that you cannot take care of it. You will then either keep it, and it will be mistreated, or you will feed a great deal of stress to the pet

Children that are generally known to be gentle, kind and calm would do better with a rabbit as a pet than those that tend to be very loud and aggressive.

By Avery Berman It can be said that a pet�s health is directly related to the pet�s weight. Every animal, from dogs, cats, rabbits or even your hamster should have their weight checked.
