When going through a separation, it can be hard enough to determine what to do with one pet that both you and your ex love and adore. However, when it comes to divorce and multiple pets, these decisions can be even harder.

During the winter months, pet owners and pets tend to stay inside more, away from the cold and snowy conditions outside. If you live in a cold climate and your pet experiences allergies, you’ll probably be relieved that the grass and leaves have died, and that pollen won’t resurface until spring.

The new year is just a few days away, and for many people, that means a fresh start and a new set of goals. New year’s resolutions are all about bettering yourself—whether you’re focused on your health, fitness, social life or other personal achievements. While you’re setting goals for yourself in the new year, don’t forget to make a few resolutions for your pets, as well!

If you live in a place that experiences harsh, snowy winters and extremely low temperatures, you likely know the struggles of dog ownership in the cold seasons. When blizzards hit and you’d rather be anywhere than outside, it can be challenging for your dog to get their normal daily exercise—something that is needed both for physical health and mental stimulation.

When the days get shorter, the sun is covered by clouds and the warmth of summer fades into chilly temperatures and harsh winds, a lot of changes can take place for both humans and pets. Many pet parents discover that their pups are less motivated, less excitable and more tired than usual.

When pets receive a cancer diagnosis—one of the scariest diagnoses a pet parent can hear—coming up with a plan for treatment is one of the first steps in their hopeful recovery. Conventional approaches to pet cancer treatment typically include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but these are not cures for cancer. Their goals are largely to help your pet into cancer remission, but there is no guarantee they will be effective.

As the holidays grow near, homeowners are sure to begin decorating their homes with festive décor, plants and lights. Although these decorations are marvelous to look at, if you’re a pet owner, they could also be sources of danger for your beloved furry friend.

When it comes to cancer in our dogs and cats, vets are not focused on curing the disease but rather putting it into remission. That may sound strange, but vets have decided that it's best to treat cancer without putting pets through any unnecessarily suffering. The best option is still to go through with traditional treatment, but many pet parents have found success by adding alternative treatments to complement their vet’s treatment plan. One option, medicinal mushrooms, are all-natural and have shown promising effects when it comes to increasing vitality in sick pets.

The word “cancer” strikes fear into the hearts of all pet owners. It’s the very last thing that you want to hear your veterinarian say when you take your beloved feline companion in for a problem. It can come as a surprise since our cats are masters of disguising their pain and discomfort, and you may be left wondering: “What do I do next?”
