The hardest decision a pet owner has to make, when to send your pet to the rainbow bridge with Dr. Susan McMillan

Putting Your Dog To Sleep – When Is The ‘Right’ Time? ‘How will I know it’s the right time to euthanize my dog?’ This is probably one of the most common questions owners ask, and the most difficult one to answer. I’ve seen (and felt) the distress, pain and internal battle that it causes. In fact, there may not be a clear-cut ‘right’ time to euthanize your dog, but there is often (although not always) a window where it could be considered the ‘best’ time for a number of reasons.

  10 Most Common Household Pet Toxins   By Amanda Carrozza     Pets are curious—it’s part of what makes them so lovable. However, that same inquisitiveness can be dangerous, especially when the target of an animal’s interest is a cleaning product, medication or food known to be poisonous to pets. Because how do animals investigate new objects? They eat them, of course. In 2017 alone, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) received 199,000 cases concerning possible pet p...

Dr. Laura Brown discusses ticks with updated information to help pet owners

By Lynne Miller   You quickly run your hands along your dog’s head, back, and belly, and, finding no ticks, you think your job is done.   Actually, finding ticks on your dog is not so simple. These tiny bloodsuckers are good at playing hide-and-seek, particularly when their host is covered in thick, dark hair. Ticks can latch on to your furry friend and live in hiding, feasting on blood for several days at a time. Even dogs with flea and tick collars and other forms of protection can...

Kate Walsh, Actress and Animal Lover, discusses finding your dog's A-Game during Itchy Pet Awareness Month.

Actress and animal lover Kate Walsh knows first-hand that dogs can be “off their game” because of allergic itching, which can get in the way of dogs doing what they love. When her dog Rosie was diagnosed with allergies, Kate learned that scratching can be more than just an itch and can lead to more serious problems if not treated by a veterinarian. That’s when she knew it was time for Rosie to get her A-Gameback.    Many dogs itch, so it’s hard to tell when an itch is more than just an ...

  From PETA....do not be dumb with your dog Every year, dogs suffer and die when their guardians make the mistake of leaving them in a parked car—even for “just a minute”—while they run an errand. Parked cars are deathtraps for dogs: On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to 100 degrees in just minutes, and on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 109 degrees in less than 10 minutes. Animals can sustain brain damage or even die from hea...

Some ticks can infest dogs that spend most of their time indoors, and even dogs that only spend ...
