Heat Reflecting Pet Bed
The Heat Reflecting Pet Mat, above, from Paragon.com is just what my furry babies need. The cleverly designed pet bed keeps cats and dogs warm by providing heat that their own body generates. There’s a special material on the underside that safely reflects body heat back to the animal - making him […]
Hazards in the Kitchen
I found this article on Animal Planet.com that I thought I’d share. It lists some very common foods that are actually dangerous for animals to eat. If your pets like leftovers - or if they pull a seat up and join you, the article might prove to be an eye-opener….more importantly, it might […]
Why Dough’s a No No for Pets
According to the veterinarians at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), giving our pets dough could lead to serious complications.
From ASPCA.org:
There’ll be many cooks in the kitchen next Thursday—but don’t spoil your pet by giving him bread dough. According to veterinarians at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), when bread dough […]
Keeping Your Pet Safe this Halloween
ASPCA released the following News Alert concerning Pet Safety during this time of year. As Pet Parents, it’s up to us to protect them and keep them safe, so here are ten ways we can do just that:——
Herbal Pet Bed
I know each of our babies would love this special bed - but I think it’s custom made (so to speak) for Prissy. It’s filled with flax seeds, peppermint, and a blend of fourteen different herbs that massage and soothe - and at Prissy’s age, she’s all about the soothe! I think she must have a touch of arthritis…..
Pet Vaccinations
I just read an interesting article on Prevention.com about what vaccinations our pets really need and what ones could actually do more harm than good. It’s chock full of useful information that, before reading the article, I was clueless about. Totally clueless……
Stressed Cats
There has been a lot going on in our lives this year - some good, but most about as bad as it gets. The worst was in March, when my mom suddenly decided she wanted a bigger house - as in Heaven. (Honestly, the day before she passed away, she told me that “…by summer I want to move into a bigger house.” To which I said, “Okay, I’ll help you!” Turns out she didn’t need my help.)
We also lost two cats who we loved very much this year. One (Renee Elise), we hadn’t had very long at all. The other (Carly) was a well-established family member.
Keeping Pets Safe During the Heat Wave
I don’t know about you, but I’m more ready for a fall than a one-legged drunk. But the fall I’m ready for is the one with leaves rustling, Sweet Potato pies baking, apple cider simmering, a crisp breeze…uh, breezing, and my Bronco’s gearing up. This is SO their year. I swear-ish……
Heat Waves, Dogs, and Bo
We recently inherited a new member to our family of 5 humans and 6 cats - - - - - 1 dog. We got custody of “Wednesday,” the sweetest dog you could ever meet, when my mom passed away. He was her baby - she absolutely adored this dog! So, needless to say, we’re doing our best to give him as great a life as possible. Thing is, we’re cat people - so we’re still trying to figure out dog needs! One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that the heat is a whole lot harder on him than it is the cats……
Diabetes in Cats
Just like humans pets can suffer from diabetes mellitus too. By a simple blood test, called fructosamine, thay can be diagnosed, and then under the care of your veterinary surgeon, often treated succesfully.
Fructosamines are stable complexes of carbohydrates and proteins that are produced by an irreversible, nonenzymatic glycosylation of serum proteins. Fructosamine (glycated serum protein) measurements are useful in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus in both cats and dogs. The test is highly sensitive and can be used to distinguish non-diabetic transiently hyperglycaemic cats from diabetics with chronic hyperglycaemia……
