 The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional period of the Dog Days  as the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with  the ancient heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. These are  the days of the year with the least rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere  (living in Florida, I get experience rain daily during this time.) The Term dog days is   from ancient times, when the night sky was  unobscured by artificial lights and different groups of peoples in  different parts of the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the  dots” of stars. The images drawn...

It is OK for the Dog and Cat to share your Ice Cream?

Ice Cream, you scream we all bark or meow for ice cream!  Lets face it we like to think our furkids deserve the saI lean more towards no.me treats we give ourselves.  Many online articles say that a lick or to is just fine, but not a whole bowl of their own.  Many dogs and cats are lactose intolerant and that small ice cream cup can be big potty trouble later.  If you most share (because those sad eyes are to irresistible), for the first time give them a small scoop and see how they react.  Also be...

Spring is all about making a fresh start. Rituals to clear out the old and make room for the new as winter weather fades away. It’s important to recognize the potential toxic effects household cleaning products may have on our pets. Our cats, dogs and other companion animals live in a shared environment with us and are exposed toxic substances we use inside and outside our homes. Residues from cleaning products can end up in their skin, coat, eyes, nose, and throat. Ingestion of or contact with cleaning products can cause a variety of clinical signs in pets, including: Sneezing Coughing Nasal and ocular (eye) discharge Ptyalism (salivation) Emesis (vomiting) Diarrhea Anorexia...

 I am sure that you have  read on the internet that  ice water can cause  bloating or stomach  spasms in your dog.  Don’t believe everything  you read on the internet. According to Dr. Tina Wismer, medical director at the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center, the information is false. “This is not true,” said Dr. Wismer. “Dogs do not bloat from drinking ice water on hot days… They can be given as treats or put in the water bowl. Some behaviorists even recommend freezing toys or treats in ice for dogs to chew on.” Bloat is most commonly seen in deep-chested large-breed dogs, Wismer...
