No one ever expects to have to deal with an emergency like hurricanes with pets. Having a pet to care for makes it essential to be prepared for disasters before they happen. We are currently evacuated from our home due to a wild fire nearby and though I thought I was prepared, I could have been much more so. Luckily, we had time to pack before … [Read more...]
Caring for a Cat with a Cat Cone
Update on Rascal Rascal has been wearing a cat cone around his poor head for a couple weeks now. Read my post on why he was sporting the cone of shame here.

As far as getting exercise, they may leap at the occasional bug, but honestly, they are quite lazy. No, I wouldn't call them adventure cats at all. Rocco's idea of adventure is lounging in … [Read more...]

How do you remember when to give your dog medication? I protect my dog year round from fleas and ticks and for so long I had to remember to apply medication each and every month.

What to Ask Your Vet About Ticks #12BRAVECTO
Fall is quickly on it's way I love the colors and crisp air as cooler weather sets in. As a pet owner, I also know that fall brings it's own challenges to be aware of on your walks, such as fox tails, and of course, ticks. Ticks! Ick! One of the most despised insects. At least by me. I hate having to pull those things out and worry if I got … [Read more...]
5 Questions to Ask a Vet About Flea Control #12Bravecto
When I was little we had dogs and cats, but there were not such great options to get rid of fleas. We lived in the mountains in California and there was no avoiding fleas.

Actually, he has gotten out a few times. With little kids it's hard to make sure the door is shut quickly each and every time. We've been lucky that he hasn't gotten far, but I often … [Read more...]
