Do you have a dog? Do you love your dog just like he’s the member of your family? At the animal shelter we look at every dog and cat the same as you look at your dog and cat. But at this point in time, the animal shelter is having a shortage of food and other supplies to keep the animals alive and well. One reason why we need the community to make donations to our cause is without the animal shelter the animals who have been hurt or beaten or starved would have nowhere to go to make sure they…

Have you ever heard of therapy pets? Basically, if you haven't, there are different animals that are trained to aid people with different mental or physical illness. One example are diabetic hypo alert dogs. As a type one diabetic myself,I have always wanted a hypo dog. (I even have a name - Pogo) but dogs like these have waiting lists that can last 3 years! It just means a little bit less stress to think there is another creature looking after you without judgement. There are also therapy cats…

If Fido considers your lawn to be his favorite bathroom facility, then you may have noticed some areas that no longer resemble the green oasis once located there. Aside from needing to dodge puppy’s poop when the lawn must be crossed, the grass is obviously dying before your very eyes. Why does dog waste kill lawns? A visiting dog doing his business in your backyard won’t hurt your yard. A resident pet using the same area on a daily basis, however, is another story. Dog waste contains nitrogen.…

Pet stores that overshadow shelters put shelter dogs in danger of euthanization. Shelters are not as visited as pet stores, even though the shelter dogs often need more help than the pet store dogs. These dogs often need help because they were found on the streets or maybe even rescued from an abusive home. Shelters put down thousands of animals every year when they are unable to find a home. Pet stores do not have this problem. Dogs from shelters are often not as appealing as purebred dogs…

Behavioral Traits with Cats By: Andrew Hendry with the help of my cat. Cat Facts Cats descend from jungle killers and could probably survive in the wild. Domesticated Cats however, would only survive a couple years alone. Cats can actually sleep to 18 hours a day. Cats can run up to around 30 miles per hour. They can jump seven times their original height. Cats can’t taste sweet tastes. A cat’s average terminal velocity, (it’s max speed while falling) is a lot slower than other mammals,…

Dogs are Better than Cats Which is better, a cat or a dog. The answer is dogs. Dogs are a man's best friend because they are simply the most loyal, obedient, and awesome animal to own. They are a better house pet and useful for practical reasons. Dogs actually love you and show affection to you. Dogs need to be social and loving because dogs are pack animals, they hunt, eat, groom each other. When you own a dog a dog sees you as a part of the pack and thinks of you as family. Hurting the…

So here’s the deal; I really have an aversion to cats. I mean, what is the point in them? They have very few purposes and are no match for dogs who are so gentle, friendly and will be your best friend. I have so many things against cats and I truly don’t know why. I just feel like they are delving into your soul and that’s why they try to pester you so much. For example (true story) recently a black cat with bright emerald green eyes jumped onto the garage roof by my window and watched me…

Have you ever gone for a casual walk in the park and passed by someone walking their cat? Chances are, you haven't. Cats don't enjoy it! But a dog will never miss the opportunity to run you through the vibrant green landscape. The family feud of which animal is the better pet is a heated discussion, but compared to cats, dogs are the preferable furry friends. As long as there's enough food and water in a cat’s bowl, you may not even see it sneaking around your house for a couple of days. Why…

Cat or Dog Cats and Dog are the most common house pet known to mankind. Dogs are more loyal than cats, but they also require more attention. Although cats are fairly independent and less demanding pets, they are also cheaper than dogs. Which would you rather have as your family pet? The life expectancy of a cat is about twelve to twenty-five years and can live somewhere small or even somewhere ginormous. Cats are not reliable body guards, they are just as scared as you are when it comes to…
