Your dog is as cute as cute can be, and you’d like to add to his look by offering him some clothing. How can you begin doing this?

It’s important to remember that there are a lot of practical reasons to introduce your dog to clothes, and these options can be a great place to start. Consider the area you live in, and what activities you bring your dog along for. A coat to keep him warm in cooler weather or a life preserver to help him float if you spend time near water can both be helpful. They can also give you an opportunity to see what fits your dog best and what he is comfortable wearing so you can make better clothing choices later on. Your local Lansing, MI vet clinic can help you better understand what your pet needs from you.

Your dog is a wonderful companion, and you really enjoy being able to care for her. However, you know that she has become a bit overweight and needs your help in getting back into shape. How can you alter your care to help with this goal?

Your pet needs you to help her lead a healthy lifestyle that balances her wants and her needs in an appropriate way. For example, she may want to eat several bowls of food at mealtime, but sticking to an appropriate portion size is a better idea to keep her healthy. Find a food she can enjoy and feel satisfied eating, while still making sure she has some healthy treats to enjoy as well. Help her get some exercise through regular walks and play sessions as well. For additional information, please contact your local vet Lansing, MI.

When dogs engage in destructive behavior, pet owners should take steps to identify what’s causing the problem so an appropriate solution can be undertaken to address it. Some common causes of destructive behavior in dogs include teething, phobias, separation anxiety, and boredom as a result of lack of physical and mental stimulation. Damage to things around the house can also be a result of playing or when dogs explore their immediate surroundings.

Medical problems

Some types of health conditions that affect the upper part of the digestive tract, as well as pain caused by tooth and gum problems may trigger destructive chewing in adult dogs. Some health problems can also cause excessive hunger, and affected dogs may resort to eating items that are not considered as food (pica).

At 8-12 weeks old, kittens are now completely weaned and ready to go to their forever homes. At this time, a kitten is receptive to forming an emotional bond with his new owner. To create an ideal environment for a new kitten, a pet owner should be ready to take on the responsibility of taking over a mother cat’s role that is, providing for the basic needs of the kitten including food, water, and a comfortable and secure environment.

In his new home, the kitten must have lots of opportunities to explore his new world and get used to new sights, sounds, and scents. These experiences play an important role in the kitten’s physical and mental development. However, make sure that these encounters are always under close supervision by the owner.

If you’re going to be showing your Monk Parakeet in an upcoming bird show, then you want to make sure he looks his absolute best. You can do this by starting with show preparations a couple of weeks before the show. First, begin by bathing your bird’s feathers twice a week in the mornings a couple of weeks before the show. When it’s not bath day, use a spray bottle of distilled water to spray down the feathers for in between cleanings. Make sure you do this in the morning so your bird has time to dry. One week before the show stop bathing and instead finely mist the feathers. Two days before the show stop misting the feathers completely as this will allow the feathers time to tighten up and return to their natural appearance. For more tips on feather prep, talk with your veterinarians Happy Valley, OR.
