We humans eat a lot of things that are bad for our teeth, such as sweets, soda, and wine. That’s one of the reasons it’s so important we brush twice a day. Since our friends in the animal kingdom don’t eat these things, it’s natural to think that our pets don’t need the same care. But even without the ravages of sugar and caffeine, there is still plenty that can come against our pets’ dental health. These are just a few of the benefits of dental care for your pets.

As exciting as bringing a new pet home can be, the process can be overwhelming. There are interviews to complete and papers to fill out. On top of this, you need to prepare your home for your new kitten or puppy. So, when it comes time to spay and neuter a pet, it can be difficult to motivate yourself to do one more thing, especially when it can seem painful to your pet. This is why many people hesitate to spay or neuter their pets.
Our pets are family. And when it comes to the health and wellness of our family, we always want to find the best care available. That’s why finding quality veterinarian services is so important. But with the different types of facilities out there, the choice can be unclear for new and even seasoned pet owners. As many families prepare to celebrate Easter this weekend, it’s important to keep in mind that this spring holiday may pose potential hazards for our furry friends. Before you hide eggs in your yard and decorate your home, please read this list of the top four most common Easter Dangers. 
Plants – Poisonous plants were the second most common cat toxin in 2010, representing about 14 percent of feline-related calls. True lilies (Lilium and Hemerocallis spp.), including the Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter and Japanese Show lilies, are among the most deadly and cause kidney failure in cats. Because these flowers are fragrant, inexpensive and long-lasting, florists often include them in arrangements. Small ingestions of two or three petals or leaves – even the pollen – can result in severe, potentially irreversible kidney failure. Immediate veterinary care is imperative. Despite their name, other plants such as the Peace, Peruvian and Calla lily are not true lilies and do not cause kidney failure. Instead, these plants contain oxalate crystals that can cause minor symptoms, such as irritation in the mouth, tongue, throat and esophagus. |
