How to Feed Your Dog a Natural Diet
The older I get, the more aware I become of how much junk and garbage there is in the food we eat. From E numbers, to chemicals, to refined sugars, pesticides, and hormones and everything else in between. Surely this is why people get sick?

Things to Know About Your Pet's Dental Health
Let's admit it: our pets are cherished members of our family. We buy them the best foods, let them sleep in our beds, and take them on vacations. We fret about their health and are worried sick when they become ill. Then why do so many pet owners neglect our pet's dental health? According to Nationwide, a top provider of pet insurance, 80% of dogs have signs of dental disease by age 3! Many of us know how excruciating a toothache can be, and it is no different for our four-legged friends. However, dogs and cats do not often clearly communicate to us that they are hurting. It is essential to learn how to prevent oral health problems in our pets and recognize when they need veterinary dental care. Keep reading for some tips to keep their pearly whites in top shape.

Why Guinea Pigs Make Fantastic Pets
When planning to get a pet, many people only think about getting either a dog or a cat. These animals are great but have a large amount of baggage that comes with them. They require a large amount of space, which needs to be maintained by the owner. They need to be trained and can wreak havoc on the home if not trained properly. They also require more time spent on them, and can even be potentially dangerous depending on the animal’s early life and natural levels of aggression. People who aren’t prepared for this are likely not to keep the animal, leading to these animals being left in shelters to wait to hopefully be re-adopted, or potentially end up being euthanized by the shelter.

Can Dogs Be Allergic to Cats?
Once I have a bigger place, I plan on being a multi-animal household. I don't understand people that are "cat people" or "dog people" specifically. They're both great in their own ways! I have a cat right now because my apartment is pretty small and the complex doesn't allow big dogs, but one day I definitely will have both. Dog and cat friendships are just so pure and wonderful to witness!

5 Reasons to Adopt a House Bunny (or Two) if You Live in a Flat
I always saw living in a rented flat as a barrier to having any pets. Dogs need a lot of space, while cats need to be able to get in and out of the house and into a garden or open space easily. So a first floor flat with no garden is not ideal. But after researching house bunnies and how to care for them we decided to get our first in January this year, a beautiful mini lop called Lotta, and two weeks ago we got our second, Teddy. There are so many reasons to get a house bunny, but here are 5 reasons that have most resonated with me over the last 5 months.

Home Treatment for Sick Dogs. Top Story - June 2018.
My pooches are just as much a part of the family as my other half and I, so it’s heart breaking to know they are in pain (or think they are in pain). So many times I wish my dogs could tell me what’s wrong so I can avoid £100 for a quick visit to the vets to be told all is OK.

Dogs and Water . Top Story - June 2018.
Do you like to take your dog on vacation? Maybe to the beach or the lake? Could your dog sit by the water dish and drink all day long for hours on end? Have you ever heard of water intoxication? Did you know dogs can get it too?

Can I Give My Dog Benadryl and How Much?
Man's best friend: dogs have more than earned that title. They are loving, loyal, and adorably dumb at times. That's why we always want to give our dog the best. It's why we allow them to have the healthiest human food for dogs every once and a while and why we look into the benefits of doggy daycare before sending them there.

List of Human Foods Your Cat Can and Cannot Eat
There's something so appealing about feeding your animal human food. We enjoy what we eat so much, so why should our furry family members miss out? While dogs like to beg and whine while you're eating dinner, sometimes cats will jump right up on the table and start eating if you're not looking! If your cat has scarfed up something right off your plate, you should know if it's good for her or not.
