Giving a cat a pill is usually just as easy as putting it in their food or wrapping it in a treat. But we know cats can be another matter! It can be done—just watch this demonstration.
Regularly brushing your pet’s teeth can keep them healthier and prevent heavy plaque and tartar build-up that leads to periodontal disease and expensive dental bills. With practice, it can be done.
Many dogs have regular problems with ear mites, discharge, infections and waxy build-up. Cleaning your pet’s ears can help avoid some of those problems and clear them up when they occur—here’s how it’s done.
If your pet requires subcutaneous (under the skin) injections for a medical condition or pain management, you might be intimidated by having to give them. But it’s quite simple and easy to do at home.
Many dogs become very anxious about noise when their owners are out, especially when the sounds are loud and unexpected (such as fireworks). If left alone, dogs can funnel their anxiety into destruction- including vocalizing, digging, chewing-or even running away.
Studies show that at least one in three dogs suffers from noise aversion. Your dog could be suffering in silence. Watch the video below to look for the signs and how you can help make your furry friends more comfortable.
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition in pets caused by parasitic worms living in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels. In this video, view the lifecycle of this parasite.
