Common Sense for a healthy pet or pets health
No Comments
My Daddy is a veterinarian. He has been practicing since 1955. One of the keys to his success of such a long career is that he absolutely loves what he does and he is definitely doing what he was called to do.
Daddy has always been completely honest with his clients and he genuinely cares about his patients.
Over the years, one of the key phrases that came up on a regular basis in speaking to the clients about their pets health, was always use common sense, just as you would for your own children.
Now maybe a great many people may find that a bit confusing. So to clarify by giving an examples:
Would you give your children as infants or toddlers all the leftovers from dinner ?
Would you not wash your child’s cereal bowl after every meal?
Would you not give your child fresh water throughout the day?
Would you not remove a dirty diaper in a brief amount of time?
Yes, I could go on with so many examples, however my intention is simply to get pet owners to think about your pets health just as you would the health of a child.
The goal is to have healthy pets that are happy and that you can truly love and they love you back for it, no matter what.
It really is just basic common sense to keep your pet clean, dry, give them fresh food and water and most certainly keep them in clean dry surroundings.
Never assume that it is different for a pet than a human with regard to their health. Our pets do not have the ability to tell us if they are feeling poorly or if they are unhappy.
So whatever your preference of pet, here is wishing you a healthy pet and great pets health !
The Keys to Proper Care for your Pet Cat
Pet cats can bring joy, amusement, frustration, and unconditional love. There is certainly no denying that they brighten up your day, but do you really know how to best look after the cat in your life?
Why Cats Make Good Pets and the Most Common Pet Breeds
If you are looking for a pet that has its own mind, that is independent, but who is extremely loving at the same time, then a cat may be the perfect pet for you. They require fairly little maintenance compared to a dog, and they also provide plenty of love and affection often following you around from room to room. Cats can be much more independent than dogs, but in both cases, both will return the affection you show them in spades.
When it comes to the large variety of breeds, you can choose from, some are definitely more common than others are and there are certain breeds that make better pets than others do. These include:
The Persian
The Persian cat is by far the most popular pet cat in America. Hardly anybody can resist its laid-back temperament and its extremely affectionate personality. Out of all of the different breeds, this one seems to form the strongest loyal bonds with its owners and despite their daily grooming needs they do make the best pets for many cat lovers.
The Maine Coon
The Maine Coon is a large cat and it has a really affectionate nature. They are extremely gentle and they love being around people. Whilst their coats are quite long, they do not require as much grooming as a Persian cat does. Overall, they are gentle giants in the cat world and they have remained the second most popular cat in America for years now.
The Exotic
This breed of cat is generally considered to be a shorthaired version of the Persian and cat lovers like them due to the fact that they are easier to groom. The breed looks particularly sweet and innocent and it is definitely a favorite amongst cat lovers.
So, those are the top three breeds within America and they are all extremely affectionate and loving. The main thing to keep in mind is that no matter which breed you decide upon, they all need some form of grooming and looking after.
Knowing the Grooming Requirements of Your Chosen Breed
All cats need some form of grooming no matter what breed you finally purchase. Obviously shorthaired cats will need less grooming than longhaired breeds so that could be a factor in your decision when purchasing your pet cat.
Longhaired breeds generally need to be groomed daily, though it is always a good idea to research your individual breed. For example, the Persian needs a lot of grooming and it definitely needs doing daily, whereas the Maine Coon, who is another breed with longer hair, needs less grooming. So, research your breed and ensure that you know what you are letting yourself in for.
Overall cats can make extremely good pets, you just have to do your research and ensure that you are purchasing the right breed for you. If you have small children living in the house, cats are pretty forgiving, but you should have a discussion with them about the fact that a cat is a live animal and could scratch or bite them if pushed too far.

The First Days With A New Kitten
Kittens are only kittens for a year, but this short time is the most significant stage of a cat's development. It's important for kitten owners to recognize how impressionable kittens are and arm themselves with tools and expert advice to ensure they give their kittens the best start in life. As part of its continuous commitment to sharing professional and practical knowledge with cat owners, Purina Kitten Chow is launching a video series featuring Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Karen Sueda that will be posted on kittenchow.com. The series, titled The Kitten Connection, is designed to quickly and easily show new – and even experienced – kitten owners tips, tricks, and advice that allow them to make the most out of the lives they share with their kittens.
"Kitten ownership can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, so it's worth it to prepare ahead of time for every aspect of kitten care," said Dr. Sueda.
