I decided to blog on this topic because a friend told me her dog was having an issue with diarrhea. I asked some questions & gave her some suggestions of things I have done. I realized she is probably not the only person unaware of natural options, so I felt led to share some suggestions. […]
21. Rabbit/Bunny care (#1 in series)
I decided to break this up into a series of at least 3, so not too long. Rabbits have different personalities, just like many pets. From my experience I found lopped-earred bunnies to be the most mellow, minis a little less mellow. Larger rabbits seemed to be smarter & learned to use litter box faster […]

16. Senior Pet Care
If you have pets, at some point you will have a senior pet, at what age a pet is considered a senior varies on the type of pet, normal lifespan, & in some cases the size of the pet. A Chihuahua lives a lot longer than lets say a St Bernard, so longer before being […]
15. Heart-worm Disease & Prevention
Heart-worm disease is a terrible and dangerous disease for dogs & can happen in cats & ferrets. I personally have never heard of it in ferrets, most likely because they are indoor animals & usually not exposed to mosquitoes that spread the disease. Not saying it can’t happen because mosquitoes do sometimes get inside the […]
