Our guide to animal adoption; learn why, where, and how to prepare to adopt a cat, kitten, dog or puppy from an animal shelter or rescue group.
Dog
Selecting a well balanced and healthy diet for your dog can be a difficult albeit challenging task if you let it. The colorful branding and trendy packaging can easily get the best of you and obscure your discernment of a dog food product. The dog's diet is one best secret to keep your pet healthy and vibrant for many years to come. It's therefore important that you purchase a diet that will supply your pet with vital nutrients and enable it to thrive.

DOG
You may all know the importance of daily brushing and flossing for regular good health of your teeth and gums, but that's as humans and also thanks to dental health education being so updated today. But, did you stop to consider the fact that since science has revealed oral health benefits us by lowering our risk of cardiac problems, it could well be the same for our canine pals? Keeping this medical fact in mind, pet owners are advised to pay extra attention to cleaning their dog's teeth regularly to keep diseases such as plaque and tartar at bay; even a simple swipe across Fido's gums with a clean damp cloth should do the trick!

You're never going to believe what happened to me.
Seriously, you’re not going to believe what happened to me yesterday.You know how you can feel that something bad is about to happen? Well, I had that feeling when I woke up. It was a perfectly lovely day, the sun was shining and it was nice and warm, but at the same time, a chill was running up and down my back. I couldn’t put my paw on it, but something definitely wasn’t quite right.

Why we named our kitten Sonsie
Naming a new pet is rather important, after all, he or she has to go through life with that name. Some people immediately know what name to give their pet, others throw a few suggestions back and forth, while others still wait what the pet is like and then give him or her a suitable name.

Bringing Dewey Home. Top Story - August 2022.
My husband was getting ready to leave for an internship in just under a month, so the two of us were talking more and more seriously about getting a dog. We had both been talking about it for months, discussing the pros and cons, what types of breeds we wanted, the size of the dog, and how we would train it. I've had dogs my whole life, but this would be my husband's first pet aside from a betta fish when he was a young child. As often happens with decisions like this, our idea of an ideal dog was nothing like what we ended up with. We thought that a smaller dog, like a schnauzer, pug, or a poodle mix of some kind would be ideal in our apartment. I have pretty bad joint problem and osteoarthritis, so we thought having a dog would help me to exercise more regularly, which would improve my mobility and flexibility. Because of how easily I can get hurt, we figured a small dog might be safer for me to walk.

The dog in the subway
When I was 20 years old, I lived away from home for the first time, so I got a dog as a companion, and it was Bao Fu. Although he weighed more than me and had a mouthful of sharp teeth, he was so gentle that wherever I went, I felt safe as long as he was around.

Two Paths Crossing
In the beginning, I did not like my dog. I was adamant that he was going to be my husband’s dog and I was going to have nothing to do with him. I was still mourning our first dog and I refused to have my heart broken again by bringing another one into the house.

Dog People Vs Cat People
Dog People vs Cat People Since before the dawn of civilization people have debated over which pets make the best companions, and over time cats and dogs have emerged as the prime candidates after narrowly beating out tapeworms and rocks in the semi finals. Which animal do you prefer: our canine companion or our feline friend? And what does your choice say about you other than that you probably don't fancy the idea of walking your pet rock on a leash made of a tapeworm?

Not Your Typical Dad
I never saw what a good dad really looked like until I saw my husband become one to our dog. While having a canine child is not the same as having a human child, there are times when for us it seems comparable. We adopted an adult dog about three years into our marriage when we, or rather I was really feeling the urge to expand our family. I had always had dogs growing up, but his experience was more limited than mine, nonetheless he was also looking forward to bringing a four-legged friend home.
