Dog bronchitis usually affects small to medium-sized breeds that are over one year of age. The causes of dog bronchitis are not always known. However, researchers say that cigarette smoke and urban pollution could be one of the causes that lead to bronchitis. The overpowered immune system of a dog with frequent viral or bacterial infection is most of the time unwilling to protect the dog from such infection. Therefore symptoms such as wheezing, loss of appetite, frequent gagging and…

Hi everyone:

Please be very cautious with your pets.  Mickie was bitten by a copperhead yesterday and but by the grace of God and a wonderful Vet she would not be here today.  I have learned quite a bit in the past 2 days about snake bites and dogs.  I gave here 2 bendadryl and kept her quiet.  My Vet said that was the best thing to do, I didn't know, just making a guess, thank goodness I was right.  When a dog is bitten the swelling is severe and quick and there are many…

Animals have allergies as well. Every day substances such as pollen, animal dander, mold spores, etc will deprive your dog from a healthy living. The most common signs a dog will show when having an allergic reaction are face rubbing, biting, scratching, and chewing the skin. Most allergies are inherited but they can be prevented by avoiding the causes thereof. A physical examination and taking some lab tests might help.  Dogs can…

Food prices are increasing, and our climate is rapidly changing. I’m not a preacher of global warming but I hope we ever change and let compassion warm our hearts. The amount of dogs taken to the shelters each year is increasing by the millions. The excuse is not having plenty of food to feed them or lack of resources... There are very little chances for these dogs to be adopted and euthanasia is applied. Our world is changing. Dog shelters have always been there but now they are increasing.…

I haven't been to this site in a really long time. For months. I had forgotten it. But I was thinking about my cat Sugar all today, and came back to pet paradise. 

I just wanna say that I had to put Sugar down this past Sat. It was traumatic and sad. I have cried for days now. She was a very loving and gentle cat. All she cared about us lying under my arm, with her head snuggling my neck. She was my little angel, and I will never forget her.

Some, though not all of my friends here, will know that in addition to my dog rescue efforts and love for dogs in general, I'm also an author of both dog books and novels. I'm delighted that Sonar 4 Publications, the publisher of my forthcoming novel Behind Closed Doors, a…

I guess the first sign of happiness we see in a dog is a wagging tail. My dog enjoys car rides and long walks on the park, sniffing on every duck butt and pooping on my neighbor’s lawn. Not sure why but these simple pleasures get them so excited. Sometimes I wish I was a dog. I would do some of the things listed above, specially pooping on some people’s lawn. What a satisfaction…But that’s not nice. We must teach good dog manners instead. The best way of doing that is bringing some treat in…

Hello all my name is Caye. I have a wonderful son and an amazing fiance'. I am an owner of a small fish Betta named Chloe. He's a boy but I named him before I knew. So he got stuck with Chloe aka Fishy Fishy.

I've wanted a Huskie for a very long, probably since I was little. On my 20th birthday I've asked for a girl huskie pup along with all the accessories and essentials to take care of her. I am beyond excited for my…

I want to announce to everyone that I'm in the process of creating an e-book that will be called A Book and A Dish.  The book will be made up of reviews and recipes from my site by the same name.  The selling price for the book will be $.99 with hopes of selling by volume and here is the good part!  All proceeds will go to the "Tilly's Pack Shelter."  More info will be released as the book progresses.

Temperatures soar and our sea levels rise leading to more precipitation. That means heat waves, droughts, and unbearable summers… Our crops and health are damaged by our hot summers. The northern hemisphere is experiencing extreme heat. Greenhouse gases are trapping heat in the atmosphere and we don’t seem to get any cooler. Our electric bills are soaring and our salaries seem to stay the same. I always advise people studying or…
