Remembering The Recall: A Reading List
Updated: 2010-04-30 06:30:57
As this unpleasant anniversary approaches, a friend suggested I focus on the season as a new beginning – appropriate advice for spring. Kisses will always have a special place in our hearts, and the two cats who joined our family after her death are unique, irreplaceable gifts. Her legacy includes the information I gathered while working with our wonderful vet to prolong her life.

Here is a great article I found from Science Daily which all cat owners should read. I know a friend of mine that over feeds his cats (and himself).
"You might watch your daily calorie intake or glance over nutritional information on food packages, but do you do the same for your pet?
Dr. Susan Nelson, a veterinarian and assistant professor of clinical sciences at Kansas State University, said there are several guidelines to follow when feeding your pet to ensure that it maintains good health.
Just as the average size of humans continues to grow larger, the average size of our pets are growing too. Even though your pooch probably loves table scraps and may snag a snack off the counter when you’re back is turned, he probably isn’t the one responsible for his weight gain. In most cases, owners [...]

Dr. Jean Dobbs is not one to follow the pack when it comes to animal health. She's opened minds about hyperthyroidism, animal blood banks, and the most effective vaccination protocols for your pets.

This is one of the most adorable animals I’ve ever seen. I present this video on Dogster for two reasons: 1) Because although this animal is a slow loris, and not a dog, I think Dogsters can all identify with scratching the tummies of cute, furry creatures 2) There is no “slow loris-ter,” so where [...]

Question: I have seen some campaigns and recommendations that dogs should be fed a vegetarian diet, even if they do not have any meat sensitivities, and that they will get all of the nutrition they need from a vegetarian diet. Is this true? I always thought that dogs need meat.

Guide dog. Gay dog. If someone says these with an Australian accent, it can be hard to hear the difference, especially if English is not the first language of one of the parties.
