The bluff or rather, the good intentions, your dog kicking up dirt and grass in the attempts to make it “look good” that it is covering its stool.

The feeble attempt usually sends grass and dirt soaring right over the pile of poop, but kudos to your dog for its efforts.

Dogs really do not care, beyond the 5-second dirt tossing, about the exposure and smell of their poop.

It may have to do with the fact that its stool magically disappears and the yard is clean once again. Your dog sees you picking its stool up, so it knows that it will be “handled” by another person in its family, so why worry?

As funny as it may seem at the time, your cat really is not enjoying the little zaps it is receiving because of the static cling from its fur. Brushing up against anything in your home will give your poor cat a zap. The best thing you can do for your cat right now (besides curbing the laughter) is to soak down a little towel of warm water and wipe your cat down, moistening its fur. It does not happen often, but when your cat does experience static fur, don’t wait too long before coming to its rescue. The zaps actually tend to startle your cat.

Your cat gets zero protein or nutrition from dry cat foods, mostly because of the daily requirements. It needs moisture-rich foods.

Cats require over four times as much protein in their diets daily as dogs. Cats’ digestive systems are constructed in a way that dry foods are not absorbed and distributed through their bodies that is beneficial to them. Moist foods are, however, excellent choices for not only protein-rich ingredients, but also for all of the other nutrients needed for proper health. Check with your local veterinarian nutritionist to discuss the best possible diet, brands, and daily amounts to ensure your cat is on the right track.

If you want a well-behaved canine buddy, be ready to devote time, effort, and money for its training, socialization, and positive reinforcement. Here are some of the most common canine behavior issues that many pet owners find a challenge to address.

• Jumping up behavior

When your pooch is used to jumping on people, he would do it whenever he likes to regardless of what you’re wearing. You will probably end up with scratched legs or ruined clothes. They can also knock down children and old people when they jump up on them in greeting. 

• Nonstop barking

Barking is normal in canines however it will be a different story when your dog spends most of the time barking at anything and anyone that catches hi ... Read more »

The condition of your cat’s skin and coat can reveal important indications of your pet’s overall health. Regular grooming can also help keep your cat’s coat smooth and tangle-free.

As you ran a brush through your cat’s fur, you are removing loose hairs and dander. Regular brushing also keeps the coat dirt-free by getting rid of debris and mud. The brushing motion also promotes even distribution of natural skin oils on the hair shafts.

Moreover, brushing can greatly reduce pet dander and hairs floating around your home, which can become potential allergens.

Daily grooming can also help reduce the amount of hairs that may be swallowed during self-grooming. Swallowed hairs can pile up in the stomach and form hairballs. These hairballs can cause blockage within the digestive tract, and possibly pave the way for more serious h ... Read more »
