#37. Toxic? Unhealthy? or Healthy #2 in series is ‘Dairy’
Honestly until recently (last 5-6 years) I never thought much about giving my dogs or my former cat some cheese or a little lick of ice cream, or even milk to my cat. Well now I know most dogs & cats are lactose intolerant. I know the research says not all are, but I won’t […]

I decided to write about allergies in pets because I keep seeing commercials & ads popping up on my phone about dogs itching due to allergies.

#19. Flea & Tick Prevention
A big help in preventing pets from getting fleas &/or ticks is a healthy pet, a good healthy weight, a healthy pet, & a high grade diet (food). Fleas & ticks prefer to attack a weak animal & make it weaker. Being in rescue I saw a lot of dogs come in that were suffering […]
18. Is a Rabbit the pet for your family?
With Easter being next month I felt his was a good time to post about whether a rabbit is the right pet for your family. I rescued at least 24 rabbits when I was fostering caged pets. I fostered a variety of types & sizes, straight up ears & lopped-ear rabbits, babies & adults. Some […]
