The loud and frightening cat fight has been experienced at least a couple times by every owner. Here are some reasons why it happens and how to stop it.
It’s not only the kids that have to adapt to the new changes school has to offer, dogs and cats too. Separation anxiety is very common in pets, luckily there are some tricks that will ease their minds.
The soft coat of the Akita makes them the perfect cuddle buddy, with some stern training that is.
Ontario has the most confirmed cases of rabies infections in Canada. Learn about the disease and what you can do to protect yourself and your pets.
Originally from England since the 1800’s, the Airedale Terrier’s were breed to hunt badgers and otters.
Picking out a name when welcoming a pet into the family can be a very difficult process. It’s one of the first things to accomplish and can be harder than it seems.
This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.
Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.
Just like you and I, dogs are prone to cavities and although their mouths are said to be cleaner than humans they can still develop tartar, plaque buildup, gingivitis or other problems other than bad breath.
A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.
