Cows moo as a way to communicate with other cows, other herds, and even you their owner. Generally, when cows are together in a herd and are happy they will not be mooing as often. Instead you will mostly hear the sounds of them happily grazing. If a cow is the only one on your property, he may moo simply because he is lonely. If your cow is constantly mooing with little to no breaks in between, call your vet Greenville, SC to ask for advice. Your cow may be trying to tell you that he doesn’t feel well.

Having a dog can get extremely expensive. With these tips, you can save big on your next trip to the pet store.
Check with the store to see if they offer a rewards program. Many pet stores will offer special discounts on certain items each week, but only if you are a member of their rewards program. Some of these programs also allow you to earn points so you can save on items in the future.
Make sure you take a look at each store’s ad every week. Stores are always offering sales to pull customers in. While you’re there, make sure you check out their last chance sales for even bigger savings.
Stock up on items while they’re on sale. While food is on sale, consider purchasing two bags instead of one. For more advice on how to save big, visit with your vet Oceanside, CA.

Some barn owners have a cat living in their barn to reduce the number of mice and other rodents. Barn cats are generally independent and have little to no fear of the horses they are constantly around. Some barn cat owners may be concerned that their cat may catch something from being around the horses. In general, barn cats don’t pay any attention to the horses, but there are a few who do enjoy rubbing up against the horse’s leg, sharing a water bowl, and even taking a nap in the horse’s hay. Although there is no danger of spreading illness, there is the possibility of your cat being physically harmed by the horse since horses are so much larger. You may want to keep a separate feeding and sleeping area for your cat just to be safe. If you’re worried, just give your vet Greenville, SC a

Although fleas are uncommon among birds, mites can cause a real problem for your feathered friend. How can you tell if your bird has mites?
Birds with mites are extremely restless. Mites cause itching and they can even bite your bird, which can make sleeping and resting nearly impossible.
Mites irritate the skin, which means your bird’s skin is likely to be red or inflamed. Even a slightly pinker hue can mean that your bird has mites.
Excessive preening is also a sign of mites. Just like a dog scratches and bites to ease the itch of fleas, parrots preen to try and remove the mites.
If the infestation is allowed to continue, you may eventually be able to see the mites themselves. In addition, feathers can be physically damaged, making your bird look bedraggled. Contact your veterinary clinic Perkasie, PA

Cats are known for being independent and aloof, but that doesn’t mean your cat doesn’t love you! Here are some ways that kitties show affection.
Head bunting is always a positive sign that your kitty cares about you. He may head bunt your legs as you sit on the couch, but he may also head bunt your face when you’re snuggling together in bed. Not only does this behavior grab your attention, but it’s also a way for him to mark you with his scent.
Slow blinking is a sign that your kitty accepts you. He’s most likely to do this when he’s relaxed and ready to take a nap.
Cats that venture outdoors may bring you trophies. Finding a dead mouse on your porch may be gross, but it’s a sign that your cat cares!

Your dog enjoys spending time in the backyard, and doesn’t seem to be complaining about his current living situation. So does he really need a doghouse?
Many dogs, while happy with what they already have, would still benefit from the shelter a doghouse provides. Dogs are den animals, which means they are naturally drawn to structures like this, and enjoy all they has to offer. Time outside is tiring, and the doghouse offers your pet a place to rest that also increases his feeling of safety. It can also allow him to still enjoy some fresh air when it is windy or a bit rainy. Plus, this space is entirely his, something he may not be able to say about any other portion of his living space. Your Lawrenceville, GA vet clinic can help you care for your pet. See details here.
