Find A Good Vet For The Sake Of Your Pets Future Temperament
Finding The Right Vet For Your Needs Is So Important
Vets on the whole are hard working, caring and passionate about their role. Sometimes however you have to consider the rest of the team who in my experience, on rare occasions, can become complacent.
Your pet can sometimes have such a horrible experience at a vets that it can scar them for life, their whole temperament can change from trusting and loving to nervous and possibly aggressive if they have a bad experience.
Addison Disease in Dogs
One of the more difficult diseases to diognose as far as vets are concerned is Addison disease in dogs. The symptoms of this disease are numerous, and some times many tests have been carried out before the correct diognosis is given.
Charlie, my friends border collie has just been diognosed with addisons. Previously his symptoms were that he had very painful joints and was initially prescribed with anti inflamatory drugs. These didnt seem to help. It wasnt

Ban Electric Shock Anti Bark Dog Collars!
I am both saddened and disappointed that the electric shock type anti bark dog collars are allowed to be produced and are still in circulation.
A friend of mine reported to me that she had a neighbour who had a dog who she used to leave in the out houses when she was at work. Now unfortunately this animal was left for many hours with no stimulation and as a result he barked a lot. The owner decided in her wisdom that an electric shock type anti bark collar would be the best solution to

Resrtict Breeding Bitches Numbers
It is high time that the words 'puppy mills' and in the UK 'puppy farms' were well and truly stopped by passing laws on the amount of breeding bitches allowed at any one property and the amount of litters the bitch can have should be restricted.
How can we allow these unscrupolous people to keep on churning out puppies just for money. Now I know that laws such as this are in place in a lot of places but how is this law being enforced? There are not
Make Sure You Choose A Safe Dog Groomer!
I read the article about little Rita the English Bulldog Puppy who died at the dog groomers and it prompted me to write about my concerns.
Being a dog groomer myself I think I can get an idea of what may have happened, for the sake of not being in trouble here I want to stress it is only my thoughts.
When I have a pet into my home to groom it is on the strict understanding that I only have one dog at a time. The golden rule is never ever leave a dog unnatended on the

The widesspread Mutilation Of Dogs Vocal Chords
At long last the mutilation of dogs vocal chords is under review and legislation will be passed to ban this abhorent procedure.
I discovered an article and was shocked to find that the procedure is more common than I thought. Apparentely it is popular amoungst the organisors of dog fights, dog breeders who try and cover up the activety of over breeding animal hoarders and a whole lot more who you would think would be appalled at the practice.
So sad to see that it is still legal in most

Anti Bark Dog Collars Reviewed
As a dog owner who happens to have a group of 8 dogs I found it extremely important to maintain good relationships with my neighbours by ensuring I keep my dogs as quiet as possible. I first heard of the anti bark dog collars from a friend who was having great success.
The collar I am referring to is the citronella one that emits a puff of lemon flavoured liquid when the dog barks. There is another type that I find abhorrent, and this is the collar that gives off an electric shock if the

The great conservationalists of our world have been working diligently to protect the cats and it would seem they are having some success. Great to read some good news, below is an excerpt...
Last week the double good news of the comeback of the American chestnut and the unexpected thriving numbers of Antarctic penguins (revealed by a

Dogs Getting a Bad Rap
There has been a lot of talk in the media lately about dogs being rampant and attacking people. There is no doubt there has been some really unfortunate and sad incidents. It has lead to people being badly attacked maimed and some have even died as a result of it. Then there is the dog itself that has had to be put down.
Where did this all start to get out of control? Many times it goes back to the unscrupulous breeders. Those are the ones that intermix breeding amongst

Sick Pets
When our pets are sick often the first stages of their not feeling well goes undetected. It is only when they are really down and out that we begin to notice something is wrong. Most times their love and loyalty to us pushes them to becoming excited whenever we are around, and we don’t realize that it’s a real struggle for them to get up and wag their tail. If we are not seeing these signs then we know there is trouble brewing.
A unwell animal will often become lethargic and go off their
