As cat owners, we know that our feline friends can gain weight pretty quickly if we’re not paying attention to how much we feed them. Sometimes too much cat food or too many treats can cause the scales to tip in a not so flattering direction. If you think your cat is gaining weight, talk to your vet San Francisco, CA about a diet or lifestyle change. Some cat owners believe that if they spay or neuter their cat then their cat will automatically gain an excessive amount of weight. This, however, is not necessarily correct. Cats may gain weight after a surgical procedure, but they will not gain so much that it will cause obesity. Most weight gain comes from what we feed our cats. It’s important that we monitor what our cats eat in order to help them maintain their overall health and wellness. Read more here.

If you own one dog and you think he may be lonely or in need of a companion, talk to your veterinary clinic San Francisco, CA. Your dog may be exhibiting signs of an illness or he may in fact need a companion. There are many pros to owning more than one dog. For instance, if your first dog develops a fear of walking on hardwood floors or a fear of thunder storms then a companion dog may help. One Pomeranian owner reported that her pup suddenly stopped walking on hardwood floors. The dog acted scared and refused to leave the carpet. When a second Pomeranian was brought into the home, the first one forgot her fears and began following the other one around. Multiple dogs are also a plus if you have to work long hours away from home. Your dogs will have each other’s company instead of being alone. For more ideas, click here.

Housetraining a new puppy should be a priority for pet owners. It is one of the important responsibilities that new pet owners should be ready to commit to.
Housetraining will require tons of patience and consistency. You should be prepared to deal with potty accidents without scolding your pooch. Positive reinforcement can help hasten the training process.
For the first few days, you have to keep your puppy close so you can immediately spot signs that it is about to go.
Some signs that you should watch out for include pacing or circling, whining and whimpering, tugging on the leash, or suddenly stops playing and become distracted. Be quick to bring him to the designated potty in the yard so he can do his business. Be quick to praise him when he is successful so he will know you are pleased with his behavior.

If you are thinking about getting a lizard for a pet, you should do your research first and find out everything there is to know about its care and behavior. Many species of lizards kept as pets need long-term commitment.

Even with adequate preparation and precautions, moving is still a stressful time for your kitty. However, you can help make the transition time smoother by making your pet’s comfort a priority.
Once you arrive at your new home, don’t release your kitty until all the movers have left and the home is quiet. You should also check all doors and windows, making sure that they are closed to prevent your kitty from escaping. Cover an open fireplace with screen since there have been cases when frightened cats found the chimney an excellent place to hide in.
Place your kitty in a room that you have selected and prepared beforehand. This is where he will stay for several days until things settle down and he is quite familiar with the sights, scents, and sounds of the new place. Make sure that your kitten’s essentials (food and water bowls, kitty bed, and litter box) are pla
