our family will be grateful to you forever
In my country, the attitude towards pets is totally different. I would call her wild. More precisely in the Republic of Moldova (a small country between Romania and Ukraine). Dogs and cats do not stay in the house, they are not allowed to play on the bed and no one buys them nice clothes.

Something That Goes Unnoticed
Being a vet tech isn't easy. In fact, it's the complete opposite. Reality is harsh and ugly: the conditions are bad. The salary is borderline insulting (did you know the average vet tech, with the same academic degree, makes approximately half of a nurse's hourly wage?), lunch breaks aren't a thing, finding time to drink water or go to the bathroom is a struggle, clients like to use us as their personal punching bag, and the recognition is near zero.

What's the deal with our dogs eating grass? If you or someone you know is a dog owner, chances are high you've seen a dog eating grass before. A common misconception about dogs' grass-eating habit is that they chew grass to soothe their stomachs when they're suffering from some intestinal distress; this actually might not be as true as it seems, as research has shown that less than ten percent of dogs appear ill before eating grass, and a rather small percentage of them actually throw up after the fact as well. So, what do we really know about why dogs eat grass?

Canine Cancer Healing
For anyone who has an aged Canine that is struggling with any kind of Tumors, I want to give you some Good News. My Best Friend and constant companion, a female Akita, developed a mammary tumor the size of a Quail egg about a year ago. Her mother had Mammary cancer and tumors the size of grapefruit before we lost her. We did everything the Vet told us to do. We gave her their meds, we had the tumors removed, then we had to go again when the tumors came back faster and larger and with a vengeance, and then had to have her entire tummy scraped.
