Every dog parent has stood in rain or snow boots at least once while waiting for their pet to go potty. You open the door to take your pet outside, your pup takes one look at the rain, sleet or snow, and they refuse to budge. Frustrating, yes. But dogs, like people, are creatures of comfort—and routine. Learn how to get past this and how to get your dog to poop outside.
Curiously, this well-built, medium-sized cat looks rather mundane as a kitten. The Bombay does not develop its lustrous, satin-like coat, stunning gold eyes and other exotic characteristics until after the fourth month. Color(s) Black See more black cat breeds.

Turn on your TV, and click around the various nature, history and science channels, and it will soon become evident that we have an appetite for the bizarre. We take in shows about ghoulish parasites that eat us from the inside out. We watch people consume freakish foods that make us squeamish. We are transfixed by “reality” programs that enter eclectic shops selling shrunken skulls, torture devices and mummified pets. Maybe it is this same attraction to the atypical that draws a guild of marine aquarists to members of the family Muraenidae — the morays. Although not for everyone, many of the morays make outstanding aquarium pets. In fact, there are a number of species that are a great choice for the beginning marine aquarists. But because this group of eels is quite diverse, care should be taken to get a moray that is right for your aquarium. In this article, I will discuss how to set up a moray tank and detail their general care requirements.
Many fish are prone to constipation when fed a flake- or pellet-based diet, including goldfish, cichlids and surgeonfish. Left untreated, constipation can lead to a variety of serious problems, including swim bladder disease and loss of appetite.
At Chewy, we believe the best gifts come wrapped in love (and maybe a little fur).
This notion that the nose of a cat or dog always should be wet is a bit overblown. Yes, the average cat or dog has a moist nose, but this is not an important indicator of a pet’s general health by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve seen many perfectly healthy cats that just happen to have a dry nose. You would think that a cat suffering from dehydration would have a dry nose and that a dry nose would be an important sign to look out for. However, I’ve treated cats with severe dehydration whose noses were as moist as can be. So don’t worry about the moistness of your cat’s nose. If, however, your cat’s nose has experienced a sudden change in the degree of wetness, and is accompanied by other clinical signs (decreased appetite, excessive thirst or urination, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, etc.), I would have the cat evaluated by a veterinarian.

Redland, a rural section of southwest Miami-Dade County in Florida, has been the source of copious amount of dog rescue stories. Thanks to the help of the nonprofit organization Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project, many dogs have found forever homes after being left in Redland, which has become known as a dumping ground for unwanted dogs. The Redland area is made up of farms, nurseries, open fields, woods and truck yards, where rigs are parked at night. There are no street lights, and in most spots, no cell service. Those who commit the crime of animal abandonment are often not noticed. And if they are? “It’s mostly an area where the locals are not going to tell on each other,” says Cheryl Jackson, President and one of the Co-Founders of the Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dog Project, who has practically made pet rescue her full-time job. Thankfully, she’s not alone.
From a feature in The Cat in the Hat to carnival prizes, a small yellow fish in a round bowl seems like the staple starter pet. And yet, surprisingly, much of what we think we know about Goldfish care barely scratches the surface! “Goldfish are often unfairly considered to be simple pets to look after, which often leads to neglect and pet owners not giving them the attention required,” says Sam Williamson, a former marine biologist and fish expert of more than 20 years. Yet, administering proper goldfish care and feeding goldfish isn’t all that difficult. Here are three common mistakes that new fish parents make—and how to avoid them.
Sometimes our pets need medication, especially when they reach their golden years. And, as many pet parents know, it can be difficult to give your pet meds. The solution: Create irresistible pill pouches that your senior pet—or pet of any age—can’t turn down. These DIY pill pouches can be given to both dogs and cats, and they’re made with ingredients you can find in your own pantry or local grocery store.
Dr. James St. Clair, DVM, says the commonality of dog arthritis symptoms may account for the high sales of joint supplements for dogs. In his Connecticut-based practice, Dr. St. Clair writes a large number of prescriptions for joint medicine for dogs.,If you walk down the vitamin aisle at your local supermarket, you may notice that there are as many supplements for pets as there are for humans. The humanization of pets is a driving factor for the pet industry, and more than ever before, pet owners are investing in vitamins and other supplements to aid in their pet’s health and well-being, according to American Pet Products Association.
