Cats are susceptible to a wide range of vision problems, especially as they age. While some of these conditions might be treatable, others may cause blurry or impaired vision or even total blindness. Of course, the degradation or total loss of one of your cat’s senses can be disorienting and even dangerous to their health.

When you hear the word “training” in reference to pets, you probably think about training dogs. And, as the old saying goes, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But what about cats? Can they be taught and trained, too?

Emergencies can strike when you least expect them. Whether you’re faced with a natural disaster, a sudden illness or even death, it’s important to be prepared. But if you have pets, you’ll need to do an additional level of planning to ensure their health and safety.

During a global health crisis, our everyday lives are disrupted. As people work remotely, schools close and social events are cancelled, we are spending a lot more time than usual at home.

It’s officially springtime, and the nicer weather is encouraging people everywhere to open the windows, grab the cleaning supplies and do a bit of spring cleaning to freshen up their homes. Although spring cleaning can be a refreshing chore, for pet owners, it can also be the source of danger for cats and dogs.

Not all relationships last forever, and there may come a point when you and your partner decide to part ways. This process can be extremely painful…but it’s even more so when you share ownership of a furry friend. Having a pet in the middle of a separation can be tricky—both for you and for your pet.

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.

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!
