Cat owners are used to a lot of sounds coming from their furry friends. Meows, cries, trills and purrs are all everyday occurrences in most households. But one noise many pet parents don’t always expect from their tiny furballs is snoring.

Hormones are a necessary aspect of your dog’s development and health—by regulating all bodily symptoms, the hormones your pup’s body produces ensures that their health stays in check. That is, as long as their hormone levels are balanced.

When a cat gets sick, most pet owners are able to pick up on the signs and get them in to the vet as soon as possible for an examination. Typically, just a few simple tests can clue vets into the cat’s ailment, and vets can use that information to prescribe a cure or treatment.

Few things are more frustrating than coming home and happily greeting your dog, only to be met with a pile of stinky dog poop on your freshly cleaned floors. When this happens on a single, rare occasion, you might think nothing of it, but if your dog is regularly pooping in the house, you might begin to think they’re doing it on purpose.

Although cats are notorious for hiding symptoms of illness or injury, watchful pet parents are usually able to tell when something is slightly off with their furry friend. Perhaps your kitty hasn’t emptied their food bowl like they usually do, or maybe they’re acting more withdrawn than usual. When these small changes occur in rapid succession, it’s normal for you to be a little worried.

Every time you use a kitchen utensil, plate or bowl, you more than likely put it in the sink or dishwasher to be washed thoroughly before you use it again. This is common practice to avoid spreading germs or allowing bacteria to multiply. But when it comes to a pet’s food or water bowls, many pet owners can’t recall the last time they washed them!

Breast cancer is a reality many humans have to face—whether in themselves, their partner or another loved one. But what many people don’t realize is that their dogs can suffer from breast cancer, too.

Cats are cuddly, fuzzy and soft…that is, apart from their claws! Cat claws are a major point of concern for pet parents because of their capacity for destruction—namely, toward your furniture and rugs.

Dog households typically have an ever-present water bowl (or two or three) to allow their thirsty pups to quench their thirst as often as they need to. Dogs lose a lot of water by panting and urinating, which means they need to rehydrate after exercise, playtime and at random points throughout the day.
