Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

December 27, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

It’s time to get prepared: Winter is in full swing, and it brings the dangers of severe cold weather, snow, ice and even power outages. It’s a good idea to prepare a disaster/emergency kit and include your pet in those preparations. Be sure to have enough non-perishable food, water and any prescription medications for you and your pets (as well as heartworm and flea/tick preventives) on hand to get through at least five days. Just like us, our pets like a nice comfy place to sleep and may … [Read more...] about Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Having a Pet Will Do Your Heart and Mind Good

October 30, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

We live in a time where we are living stressful lives. Between our jobs or perhaps being out of work, our families, struggling with finances, health issues, the never-ending bad news on TV and all the time spent on our computers and social media, it’s important we take time for ourselves! We need to turn off everything, decompress and, for a lot of us, that involves spending time with our furbabies – instant relaxation for us and for them! For most of us, but especially for our elderly and … [Read more...] about Having a Pet Will Do Your Heart and Mind Good

Scientists Believe Dogs are Using Magnetic Field to Navigate

March 28, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

We’ve all heard the stories about pets finding their way home across a great distance. They may have become lost during a move, left behind to live with friends or become separated during a trip. While dogs have a remarkable sense of smell, it could be something more. A recent study suggests dogs are able to use Earth’s magnetic field to orient themselves. The ability, known as magnetoreception, allows other creatures, such as whales, dolphins, sea turtles and birds, to use this sixth sense … [Read more...] about Scientists Believe Dogs are Using Magnetic Field to Navigate

Pets are Eating Better as Humans Become More Health Conscious

March 28, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

When we eat healthier, pets eat healthier, say those in the pet care industry. Purina Chief Growth Officer Andrea Faccio says that as people have redefined wellness for themselves, they are also doing so for their pets. “We don’t see this as a trend so much as an evolution that can ultimately benefit pets and the bond they share with their owners.” Thus, she says, more than ever, pet parents are doing their research to help create the best lives for their pets. “This translates to an … [Read more...] about Pets are Eating Better as Humans Become More Health Conscious

Keeping Pets Safe in the Home and Garden

August 5, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Our homes, gardens and yards are full of items that can be potentially hazardous to our furry family members and, as they are part of our family, it is our responsibility to help keep them safe. Little things laying around like coins, batteries, jewelry, paper clips, rubber bands, buttons, string and more, seem harmless to us but they could become a choking hazard to your pets. Plastic grocery bags can easily become a hazard to curious cats who love to climb in them and play. I can’t tell you … [Read more...] about Keeping Pets Safe in the Home and Garden

Dogs May Suffer as Owners Return to Busy Lives

June 27, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

The more than 15 months of the COVID-19 saga have brought many changes for pets, some favorable and others sad, such as becoming homeless when a family had to move because of an eviction after jobs and income were lost. Jennifer Brehler, executive director of the Humane Society of Sedona, said one of the bright spots early on was a “significant increase” in the number of people stepping up to both foster and adopt shelter animals and “coming forward to help homeless animals in general and to … [Read more...] about Dogs May Suffer as Owners Return to Busy Lives

How to Help Pets Burn Energy in Summer

One challenge we all experience during the summer is how to burn enough energy as the temperature rises. Walks are more spread out and many canines become destructive, as they’re bored and have pent up energy. Here are some ideas on ways to challenge our furry friends mentally and physically when it’s too hot to be outside. One question I often ask clients is how they feed their dog. This is a great opportunity to burn energy, for there are many tools that provide enrichment during mealtime. … [Read more...] about How to Help Pets Burn Energy in Summer

Rough Year for Pets, Too

May 3, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

It’s tricky enough to match up homeless pets with new owners, but the upheavals of 12 months of pandemic conditions have added to the challenges of animal adoption. In some cases, it also has added new difficulties to the world of pet ownership. Sudden changes for families facing unemployment and a loss of income because of the sweeping effects of COVID-19 have caused some to have to leave their homes because of evictions and foreclosures. The unexpected and unwelcome chaos has left … [Read more...] about Rough Year for Pets, Too
