One of my favorite dog supplies I have is my dog raised feeders, one for each dog. I dont necessarily SEE all the benefits not tangibly anyway but I KNOW how wonderful they are for my dogs health.

I bought a raised feeder with an enclosed bottom to also store their food, which I find saves me SO much time when it comes to feeding them. It also reminds me to feed them, as Im very...

Ginger (a.k.a. "Redpuss") is a half-ginger, half white, 12-year-old tom who suffered some bad health problems last year, including cat flu, 6 rotten teeth (with accompanying toothache) and associated chronic infection, a septic lip, ear mites, skin allergies and a heart murmur.

Cigarettes thrown out of windows, rocks falling from construction trucks, stones being kicked up by cars and blowing sand can all be very harmful to your dogs well being....

I see dead people. Uttered by actor Haley Joel Osment in M. Night Shyamalans The Sixth Sense, it has become one of the most famous lines in movie history. Although the film was based on a fictional story, we have all seen those people on television who claim they can see or communicate with the dead. Would it surprise you to learn that dogs may also possess that ability? One of the oldest known paranormal beliefs is that dogs have the ability to see or communicate with the dead. It would be easy to believe that people have come to...

Lets face it Fido and Fluffy are an important part of your family. Do you want to have to assign a dollar value to them if they become sick or injured? That may well be the case if you dont have pet health insurance. Rising veterinary costs mean that pet owners can pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars for their pets health problems. As the bills stack up, uninsured pet owners must determine how much they are willing to spend on their animal friend. It can be a heartbreaking decision to make. Much like insurance for...
