One sentence that perfectly describes me?
I am a crazy cat lady who also happens to like programming, statistics, data science, geocaching, reading and climbing.
The longer version …
Currently I am working as a data scientist after I finished my masters degree in bioinformatics in February 2016. At the moment my most used programming languages are C# and R. Since I think you can do really cool things with R although they are often not very intuitive, I am going to write some introductory posts about it.
In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities like walking with our dog, geocaching and climbing. Geocaching is the main reason why I started this blog, I was not very happy with the antipode calculators and coordinate tools that are available online, so I decided to implement them on my own. These will be coming soon (they are still not here yet, I know :()! From that point I decided that I should create a website/blog, because there might other tools be coming up that I miss and want to publish somewhere.
I also like to read, especially crime novels and thriller, play with my cats and sometimes cook or bake.
About our cats
As a crazy cat lady, I have to introduce my cats!
Minerva is our first cat and she is a very special cat. Besides loving to sit in the dish washer and drinking from the basin she prefers to be outside. She does not like to be petted very much and she absolutely hates cuddling.
Teddy came to us with three sisters because he is one of Maya’s babies (he still is a baby). He is the laziest cat I know so far, he literally can not walk for more than a couple of meters without falling down and asleep. Teddy (also called Teddl or Taddl) is probably also the cat with the greatest lack of intelligence. It takes about two minutes for him to forget that he had been fed.
He is not a cat, but not any less important 🙂 Hari is a dachshund, who came to us from a pet shelter. He loves to sleep, walk and join our geocaching tours.


Specializing in helping pets & their owners find their homes
When you are planning a move, regardless of the distance, it is important to remember the impact it will have on your pet(s). I’m here to help make your move a smooth transition for ALL of your family members.
I can assist you with finding pet-friendly hotels, dog walkers, local vets and specialty pet stores. I can also provide helpful information on how to minimize the stress of moving with your pets.
Also, as a big proponent of “adopting, not shopping”, I can identify local rescue organizations to help you find a new pet- because as I like to say, “Every Dog Needs a Home and Every Home Needs a Dog”.
And to add that special touch, I offer treats for your furry friends!


Kingland Pet Service is offering Kingland Kennels whelping / puppy care service to a limited number of reprove letters each year. We created our whelping service to assist dog owners in breeding their female dog but don’t have the knowledge, time, patience, experience or even the facility to give the bitch the best safest and healthiest environment to raise her puppies. Being employed at three different animal hospitals and 13 years of breeding, your b**** and litter will receive and go through the same amazing system that we implement at Kingland Kennels including neurological stimulation and rules of seven. We will be there every step of the way until there are in the hands of their new owner.

You are welcome to be involved in the process as you like but there is no need to stress about the process I can take care of it all for you.


Our pets cannot communicate what they feel or what is bothering them. This makes it difficult to determine why your cat suddenly feels weak. There are many reasons cats can become ill. Pet owners are just like all of us in that they’re bound to be keen to pay less for medications and Revolution Plus health products to keep their furry friends in the best of health. We’re for that and are happy to provide these World Pet Express discount codes.
Keep in mind that if your cat limps, it is likely they are suffering from pain. Cats are great at hiding their pain. A cat that is limping, but not in pain, is not a cat.
To prevent infection and keep your cat’s condition from getting worse, get them to the vet immediately if they limp. While it may seem difficult to determine the cause of your cat’s limp, you can make simple treatment such as trimming their claws and removing a thorn.
If you are a pet parent, it is important to keep an eye on your pet’s health. One way to monitor their walking habits is to watch how they move. You should look out for any signs of swelling, redness or open wounds. Contact a veterinarian immediately if you see any of these symptoms.
- There are a few reasons your cat may be limping
- We have provided a list of common reasons your cat may be limping.
- Something stuck in their paws
- Trauma (being hit, falling or landing wrongly) can cause a sprain or a broken leg.
- Walking on a hot surface such as pavement, stove, hot gravel or pavement
- Ingrown claw/nail
- Being bitten or bitten by a insect or another animal
- Torn or infected nail
What should I do if my cat is lurching?
When inspecting your cat’s leg, be calm and relaxed if it is limping. As you rub your fingers along the sides of your cat’s leg, feel for any tender areas. Also, look out for swelling, redness or open wounds. Start with the paw of your cat and work your way up.
If it is a thorn, remove it carefully with tweezers. Then wash the area with soapy water. To prevent infection, keep an eye on the healing area. If your cat’s nails are too long, you can trim them as necessary (or have your vet do it).
If your vet is unable to diagnose the reason for your cat’s limp, or if your pet continues limping after 24 hours of being in pain, schedule an appointment.
A broken leg can have similar symptoms to other injuries and sprains, such as swelling, limping, holding the foot in an abnormal position, loss appetite, or even pain.
To prevent injury to your cat or worsening the situation, you must restrict their movements while waiting for your vet appointment. Keep them in a low-slung room or in a carrier to accomplish this. You can make them feel comfortable by giving them a warm bed or kitty bed and keeping them warm with your favorite blankets. You should always be watching them.
What time should I take my cat to the vet for limping?
If your cat is limping, it’s a good idea for you to bring him to the vet to prevent infection and get a diagnosis. If your cat has any of these symptoms, make an appointment to see your veterinarian.
- It is impossible to identify the cause.
- They’ve been limping for over 24 hours
- There is swelling
- An open wound
- The limb is hanging in an unusual position
To avoid infection or worsening, immediately contact your veterinarian if there is any visible sign such as bleeding, swelling or limb hanging out of alignment. If you have any questions, contact your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can help you navigate the next steps.

SURGERY DEPOSIT POLICY


In a previous post (My Money Blog – Cost of Pet Products), I discussed how the cost of pet products and pet ownership can be very substantial, sometimes even totaling approximately $10,000 over the lifetime of the animal). I also briefly stated that I had just signed up to provide foster care to dogs through a local dog rescue in my hometown.
In today’s post, I want to provide details of the financial benefits of dog fostering based on my experiences and explain why it can be a great lower cost alternative to dog ownership. Why is this you might be asking yourself? Easy! Because the dog rescue you work with covers the cost of almost everything incurred for the animal. Your job as the foster is simply to care for and love him/her.
Cost of Animal Health / Vet Visits
When I received my first foster dog, I was instructed by our rescue president to take the dog’s first droppings to the local vet to be analyzed for stomach parasites. I simply collected the sample and dropped it off. I did not have to pay for anything. After I got the results back of the dog being positive for several parasites, the dog rescue I work with also paid for the Panacur medicine treatment as well.
Amount saved – $25 for the fecal matter analysis, $50 for the Panacur medications = $75 total
Cost of Dog Food
As mentioned in my previous post about pets, the cost of dog food can vary greatly. However, since pet stores donate so much food to the rescue, I was given high quality food for free!
Amount saved – $25 for the bag of food = $25 total
Cost of Dog Toys, Leashes/Harnesses and Chew Bones
Essentially, the sky can be the limit on how much pet accessories cost. However, the dog rescue I work with has many of these also donated to their cause, which I was able to receive for free.
Amount saved – $20 toys, $20 leashes/harnesses, $10 chew bones = $50 total
Cost of Dog Grooming
Many of the local groomers have deals worked out with the dog rescues in the area, and as such, perform grooming of many rescued dogs for free! Very nice!
Amount saved – $65 for a full grooming (wash included, Northeast pricing) = $65 total
Totaling all of these savings up, I have been able to save $215 total. Now, in my situation, $215 is not very much for all of the companionship that a dog provides. However, because my apartment doesn’t have a yard for the dog to play around in, it is better for me to just provide foster care vs. owning a dog.
However, if you are in a situation where you really want to help out with pets, but cannot afford one, please consider fostering!!
The bottom line is that each dog/cat/whatever fostered is a life saved!
Keep on learning!

Pet Brigade Pet of the Month
Artica and Gunner
Companions to Annie and Joe H.
My fur babies may look alike to everyone else but they are complete individuals to their mommy and daddy. Artica (lovebug) is our first born and while she stuck close to us when she was a puppy she has grown up to be very independent There are times though when she needs us and she will shove her face between our legs or tuck her head in our laps. Whenever we are hugging she comes up right behind us and puts her head between our legs as if she was saying "don't forget about me." Though they are not related by blood, Artica loves her little brother but he can be a bother to her when she is relaxing in her chair and he comes and bites her to get her to play. We are so lucky to have her in our lives, we love her so much.
Gunner, (snugglebug) is our funny boy. He always needs to be near us, he has yet to find his independence. But from a mommy standpoint that's ok by me. He sleeps on the bed right in between us and will lean on one of use during the night. Or, he will stick his nose in our face because he just wants to be that close to us. Like clock work, when our alarm goes off at just after 5 a.m. he is standing over me saying "time to get up mommy and let us outside." Gunner loves to play tug-a-war with his sister but she always gives up too easily so he will keep shaking it in her face until she grabs it again. We just sit there and laugh how much they can be like human brother and sister. Gunner is a momma's boy and I wouldn't have it any other way.
They both love to play soccer in the backyard with daddy, bury their bones in the couch, going to gram's house, playing with their cousin Kiah, going to dog park and they absolutely love going to The Pet Brigade to see all of their friends. They are two very well-love fur babies.
The Pet Brigade has a blog at northwestmilitary.com/pets. We feature great information for all soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
It has come to our attention that there are kennels in our area passing themselves off as Fort Lewis’ pet care service provider.
- Fort Lewis Doggie Daycare
- Fort Lewis Dog Grooming
- Fort Lewis Pet Boarding
- McChord Doggie Daycare
- McChord Dog Grooming
- McChord Pet Boarding
While it is important to note that there are numerous pet care service providers within the vicinity of Fort Lewis and McChord which can provide the services listed above; there is only one provider located on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), THE PET BRIGADE. There is a distinctive difference between providing these services at surrounding facilities, and what The Pet Brigade had to go through to provide these same services on JBLM.
We understand that our reputation is extremely strong amongst active military, retired military, and civilians who have access to JBLM. This reputation not only extends to JBLM personnel, but around the world with all the military personnel transferring in and out of JBLM. We are also one of the primary kennels of choice amongst area veterinarians. We are honored that pet care providers like to associate themselves to us.
The Pet Brigade is the only pet care facility that is contracted with the Department of the Army for services on JBLM. The Pet Brigade began working with Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) on Fort Lewis, and the Department of the Army in December 2005; we responded to a Request for Proposal to build and operate a “pet care facility” on Fort Lewis issued by the Department of the Army. Pet care facilities in the area as well as across the nation were asked to respond to this proposal. Kennels in the surrounding area chose not to respond. The only kennel in the area that responded was Pet Ponderosa Resorts and Spas, Inc. located in Graham WA. Pet Ponderosa is also owned by the same owners as The Pet Brigade. The companies were required to build the facility, equip and staff the facility, and operate the facility on a daily basis. This was considered a Public Private Joint Venue. This was also a “privately funded” business transaction by the owners, who have invested nearly a million dollars of their own monies to the success of this Joint Venue. It also should be noted it shows their commitment to our TROOPS! The Pet Brigade finally broke ground in September 2007, and opened for business in April 2008. It is extremely important to mention that not only does The Pet Brigade charge for boarding services by RANK, which has forced some kennels in the area to discount their services to match our prices (previously they refused military discounts). Also, The Pet Brigade gives a large percentage of their GROSS proceeds to support MWR’s projects on JBLM. There is not a pet care service provider i.e., kennel, groomer, trainer, daycare provider in the area that can make this claim.
We take it as a complete compliment that there are kennels trying to associate themselves to The Pet Brigade or as Fort Lewis’ kennel, daycare, and grooming provider, and would like people to believe that they are affiliated with our establishment. However, we feel that it is very important to inform everyone that they are not recognized as the JBLM kennel. The Pet Brigade is the only pet care service provider for boarding, grooming, daycare and training on JBLM. The Pet Brigade works closely with MWR’s HIRED Program, a program designed for high school students interested in obtaining job skills right on JBLM. Additionally, nearly 65 percent of our staff is either a spouse or dependent of a military family, once again keeping the jobs within the military community. We are also exceptionally proud of the fact that 100 percent of The Pet Brigade’s full-time staff are recognized Certified Pet Technicians through the Pet Care Services Association, a nationally recognized organization that strives to improve pet care services; The Pet Brigade is also a LIFETIME MEMBER of this association as well. Again, this proves how committed The Pet Brigade is when it comes to delivering exceptional services that are provided to the pets and their owners on JBLM.
Please contact us to arrange for a personal tour of our facility. In the meantime, take a virtual tour of the facility.
We offer a variety of services for your pet in addition to long or short term dog and cat boarding:
Doggy Day Care • Dog Grooming • Dog Obedience Classes • Special Events
Please visit our Services page for more information.
Visit our Boarding Reservation page to request reservations to board your pet with us.

Doggie Daycare Policy Change
If you fail to pick-up your dog(s) from daycare by 1800, you will incur late fee of $1.00 per minute per pet until the daycare staff goes off duty at 1830. At 1830 your pets will be boarded for the night. You will be responsible for the board fees, late fees as well as for the previous day’s daycare charge. You will be required to pick-up your dog(s) by noon the next business day or incur additional boarding fees. Read more about our Doggie Daycare.

The bag was on the floor, shredded. It took a mere moment to put the pieces together- literally and figuratively.
Disclaimer: For the holidays, Purina sent me a doggy treat bag to review for this post. I am not being compensated in any other way and Alpo / Purina is not responsible for the content of this article.
Takoda had ‘pawed up’ onto my dresser, seized the bag of Alpo Wholesome Dog Biscuit treats, ripped it open and inhaled every bone-shaped morsel. The bag was huge and I eyed him reproachfully. How could he have eaten the whole thing?? Bad dog.
I even thought of doing a dog shaming Instagram post but I couldn’t really blame him. If there was a plate of chocolate chip cookies and I knew no consequences of weight gain and sugar buzzes I’d suck them all down as well. We humans supposedly have self-control. Dogs, not so much. Two thoughts hit me; 1) So glad it wasn’t my Christmas chocolates 2) Will he get sick eating that many treats?
According to the bag, the chicken-flavored “Wholesome Biscuits” offer 100 percent complete and balanced nutrition for dogs and come packed with 23 vitamins and minerals. I should have the healthiest dog in town then. I can’t really tell but I can safely say dogs can’t overdose on them. Takoda didn’t miss a beat. I poked his solid tummy and he didn’t flinch. He looked and acted okay.
The treats also help clean teeth and freshen breath. I sniffed. Yep. No nappy dog breath.
Takoda anxiously eyed me. I’m sure he wondered how I was going to respond. I patted him on the head and shrugged, “No more treats for you, Boy.” And, therefore, he got his lesson in food consequences.
And so did I. All bags of dog treats will forever be kept behind closed doors and more than three feet off the ground. I got lucky that Alpo is making gorge-worthy goodies. “Next” time could be a much different story.
Alpo Wholesome Biscuits come in three sizes in a 24 oz. package that runs around $2.69.

Pet Safety & Vaping
Pet Safety and Vaping
If you’re anything like me then your pets are a loved family member and their safety is a priority for you. While vaping is much safer for us than smoking, we do need to keep in mind vaping and pet safety. But not just being around the vapour but having access to power cords, batteries and e-juice with nicotine in it.
A few years ago a staffy in Brittan was the first dog to die from accidentally consuming nicotine based e-liquid. But dogs aren’t the only animals we need to consider when it comes to pet safety. Cats are also affected by consuming e-juice, not just from nicotine but they are attracted to VG and because PG is also in e-juice, it is believed not to be safe for cats.
Recognise nicotine poisoning in your pets.
If your pet does somehow gain access to your stash, you can assess if your pet requires medical attention if you think your pet has ingested nicotine. Look for the following signs and seek immediate veterinary care.
- Gums or tongue appear blue, purple, white, extremely red or brick coloured
- High heart rate
- High temperature and panting
- Vomiting and/or diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Blood in their poo
- Nose bleeds
Battery poisoning in dogs.
Symptoms of Battery Poisoning in Dogs Some of the symptoms of battery poisoning occur immediately upon ingestion. Other symptoms may not be apparent for several hours. Ulcers that are seen shortly after contact with the alkaline materials may continue to worsen over the next twelve hours or so as the tissues soften due to a process called liquefaction necrosis.
- Abdominal pain
- Black, tarry poop
- Difficulty swallowing
- Excessive drooling
- Fever or hyperthermia
- Lack of appetite
- Mouth pain
- Ulcers in the mouth or on the tongue
Types There are several types of battery that can cause symptoms if punctured or ingested. The most common types of battery that dogs get into are batteries that most people have around the house.
Cylindrical – This battery is probably the most common battery we think of and the most common one for a dog to be able to chew. Some cylindrical batteries employ alkaline and carbon zinc materials while others are the lithium variety. The burns from lithium batteries can be particularly severe, but the alkaline batteries are more likely to be damaged by stomach acid, possibly leading to heavy metal poisoning.

Chunghwa Post issued the first of its "Pets" definitive postage stamps in 2005, and now it is following up with a second set of four stamps featuring two breeds of dog (Labrador and St. Bernard) and two breeds of cat (Siamese and Persian) with the denominations of NT$2.50, NT$7.00, NT$10.00 and NT$32.00 respectively. The designs follow:
(1) Labrador: Originally bred as working dogs, Labrador dogs are playful, gentle, intelligent, obedient and loyal. They have been bred primarily as hunting dogs and are popular as guide dogs for the blind. Their good judgment and scenting ability make them excellent choices for search and rescue missions as well as narcotics detection.
(2) St. Bernard: Originating in Switzerland, St. Bernard dogs are large dogs known for their gentleness and loyalty. Their dense coat of fur, great physical endurance and powerful scenting ability make them great search and rescue dogs in the Alps.
(3) Siamese: Originally the royal cats of Thailand, Siamese cats have eyes the color of sapphires, v-shaped heads, elongated bodies, slender tails and limbs, and a short silky coat. They are elegant, intelligent, playful and agile. However, they are rather temperamental in their disposition.
(4) Persian: Persian cats acquired fame because Queen Victoria of England had raised them. They have round and wide heads, short muzzles, large and round eyes, and a soft, lustrous and long thick coat. They are quiet, not very athletic and like to be with people.
(1) First Day Cover to be sold at NT$2.00 apiece.

If you look to the top of the page, right under Frannie Loves Marie, you will see the line treasures, dress ups and stories of a wonderful life. Well, caring for my puppy Gracie means that the treasures and dress ups don’t come about as frequently as they used to for fear of their destruction and lack of funds, but the life becomes becomes even more wonderful. I last wrote about Gracie graduating from puppy school over 3 months ago and boy has she grown from a fluffy little youngin’ in to a stinky, slobbery real-life dog!
Here’s a FLM update on her canine capers of late because I know you all adore cute dogs as much as Marie and I do…
As you all know I recently became a proud Puppy-Mama to little Grace Everton. She is now 14 weeks old.
Having Gracie home for nearly two months has brought to my attention my scary potential to become an overbearing and overprotective mother to my future human babies. Gracie is a dirt-loving and adventure-seeking sports animal with endless amounts of energy. We have learnt pretty quickly that the ‘kelpie’ is strong in this one and as a result she at times talks back, nips at our heels to herd us and definitely has selective hearing; choosing only to respond to her name when it suits her. Gracie is also the most loving, cuddly, intelligent and eager to please pup that I have ever known and we couldn’t be more in love with her or proud to show off our girl.
However, the combination of my adoration and her adventurous personality has me on edge. I want to protect her from everything bad in the world but in doing so I risk passing my anxieties on to her (if you’re not a dog person or are yet to own an anxious pooch, then you might think this is ridiculous but it is a very real thing. Especially ‘separation anxiety’).
Gracie had her first paralysis tick over the weekend and this morning as we left for work she hit her head (somewhere outside while sniffing around for a good spot to dig) and cut herself pretty badly. She was unfazed by both accounts… CB and I on the other hand? We were pretty stressed. After a half hour of struggling to get Gracie to hold still, we managed to remove the tick ourselves but that didn’t stop us from worrying and monitoring her constantly.
Maybe it’s normal to worry this much. In fact, I’m certain that it is but I don’t ever want to stop Gracie from having fun or from being the independent dog we first fell in love with. Moving forward, we plan to socialise her with other dogs in puppy pre-school and take advice from dog owners there, hopefully helping to remind us just how resilient these gorgeous animals are. There is plenty of help out there as well online, in bookstores or even through friendly pet store assistants who have provided us with a wealth of knowledge they’ve learned over the years. We do a lot of reading and asking around and have been pleasantly surprised that any naughty behaviour is simply a sign of her adolescence and have found most of what we’re doing so far has created a positive environment for Gracie to grow up in. The important thing is that she is shown love and affection and that we treat her with plenty of time to play and activities to occupy her incredible brain.
So my advice to those with new pups that find themselves constantly worrying if they’re doing the right thing or keeping them safe enough (read: advice to myself) is simply to stop and breathe. Let them stumble and fall and yelp and play with other dogs and in doing so they will learn the right way to act and the safest way to play. Some little tips and tricks we would have been lost without include:
- Don’t allow your puppy the opportunity to make mistakes. We keep her out of the rooms she’s not allowed in by closing doors or using a baby gate. If she is chewing something she shouldn’t, we replace the ‘forbidden object’ with a toy she is allowed to chew.
- Keep your puppy entertained. We knew our girl would be smart, but we didn’t realise how easily this could lend to being destructive when bored. We rotate her toys to keep things different and interesting and recently invested in a Kong Genius toy which makes it hard for her to get to her treats. It has also provided plenty of entertainment for us as we watch her try new ways to figure the Kong out.
- Puppies under two months can’t have any tick protection and even after that it can only be in the form of a tick prevention collar. Be scrupulous in checking them over for any ticks and make sure that if you remove them yourself, you get the entire tick out.
- Socialise your pup from an early age with all types of humans and other dogs. It will help them to learn bite inhibition, manners and to stay calm in strange environments.
- Allow them to have ‘me’ time. Puppies will become anxious when separated from you if they’re used to having you there all the time. If you aren’t actively playing with your pup then place them somewhere safe (we crate trained Gracie and provided her with a playpen) with plenty of toys to keep them entertained and they will learn that being alone is okay.
- Stick to it! If you feel like a training technique isn’t having any effect then the best thing you can do is stick to it anyway. Changing tact will only confuse your puppy as sometimes it just takes them a while to adjust.
If you have a new pup and want to ask any questions or talk to a fellow paranoid puppy parent, then please don’t hesitate to ask me anything! I’m getting a tiny bit better every day in learning to stand back and have her learn her own lessons in time. I contemplated permanently wrapping her in cotton wool to keep her out of trouble… but when she did this to her bed yesterday I realised she was sending me a pretty strong message of how she felt about my plans to make her a cotton wool baby.
Mondays are hard even for those with the most positive of dispositions. The weekend is over and it’s time to head back to the workplace. Mondays at the moment are especially hard for me because every morning I have to say goodbye to this adorable, freckly little face…
My Gracie is settling in very well to her new home and I thought I’d give you all a bit of an update of how quickly she is growing while hopefully adding smiles to your Monday with some cute puppy photos.


Andy’s Pet Shop is a store in Downtown San Jose on 51 Notre Dame Street, near the San Pedro Public Market. Andy’s sells 100% American made products for pets, and also have animals up for adoption ranging snakes and lizards to birds and cats. The Shop itself is not non-profit, but the animals it shelters are brought in by different organizations, such as North Star Animal Rescue, West Coast Boxer Rescue, Mickaboo Bird Rescue, and several more bringing in rescued pets and animals for adoption. Every animal that can be adopted at the shop is a rescued animal. The shop is currently owned by Lisa but is staffed by volunteers with their own organizations that contribute to the animals living there. Zoe volunteers at the Pet Shop but also is on the board of directors for the West Coast Boxer Rescue. She and her adopted boxer Mosey can be found at the shop, along with king pigeons, cats, kittens, tortoises, fish, mice, guinea pigs and Mango the Toucan. The shop has been in San Jose since 1950 and while ownership has changed hands it remains a home for many pets that would have none.

Allow me to caveat this review by saying out of 500 plus reviews this is the most difficult to write as I despise having to use pesticides on our dogs. That said, we live in Tick and Flea central, surrounded by deep woods and our bull dogs are in every sense of the word family. That said if you’re reading these reviews your dog or dogs are your heart and using these products is a difficult choice to make, but for most of us it’s one we have to make.
On that note, it’s nice to be among my own kind of folks and it’s my hope the following information has some value for you.
Frontline was first put into clinical trials in 1985 shortly after the discovery of it’s active ingredient Fipronil. It has maintained the safest albeit not the most effective treatment for fleas and ticks. However, the more effective products pose a significantly greater risk to your dog.
Most tick and flea products contain Premethrin (or related compounds) as the active ingredient. Premethrin is a lethal neurotoxin that flows through the dogs circulatory system and flushes into every major organ – including the brain where it can do dire damage. Although thousands of dogs die every year from Premethrin and the FDA has mandated a minimal use of it not to exceed 750PPM companies continue to use it because it’s cheap and effective.
What makes Premethrin so dangerous is that it can’t distinguish between insects and mammals including human beings. It’s been known to be lethal to cats since the 1970’s. Even a slight transfer from dog to cat can result in seizures, brain damage and death.
Premethrin is volatile as well – meaning it’s airborne properties pose a continued threat to all who breath it in – dogs and humans included.
Frontline on the other hand uses Fipronil. Fipronil is an insecticide. Like any compound of this nature it can be lethal at too high of a dose. However studies including those from the Department of Environmental Conservation have determined time and time again that as long as the amount of Fipronil is at the correct dose for the weight and size of your dog toxicity is far easier to avoid and the product much safer for your dog.
Unlike Premethrin, Fipronil is absorbed into the hair follicles and oil glands only.
It is not absorbed into the dogs system nor is it volatile so you and your beloved pets and children can breath easy. The second active ingredient in FrontLine Plus is Methoprene which is a long existing and time proven IGR (insect growth regulator) it’s distributed exactly like Fipronil but only acts on flea and tick eggs and Larvae – this is important because it kills these vermin at the start of a new life cycle. What is more, the diseases that ticks carry now are infinitely more serious than the dreaded Lime disease – which for decades was the only concern.
Competitors to Frontline (and some Vets selling other products) claim that fleas and ticks have become resistant to Frontline – hog wash. These pests have become resistant to most all pesticides and no independent research exists to confirm this claim. I can assure you I’ve researched this in the greatest depth.
The bottom line is this – all of these products pose a risk.
The wise choice is to minimize that risk in your effort to protect your pet from the diseases these vermin carry. Again, these diseases can be infinitely more lethal than the ingredients of the protection. To that end your safest and most effective choice is Frontline or Frontline Plus.
In the event your pet has a bad reaction to Frontline products these are the symptoms you would see:
* Difficulty Breathing
Should these symptoms occur, of course take your pet to your Veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. It should be a comfort to know that unlike the toxic ingredients in most other flea and tick control products severe reactions to both Fipronil and Methoprene are rare. What is more they can be neutralized quickly.
This is the real deal. I was leery after reading other posts from people saying their’s was not legitimate. I think they older ones, from different sellers might be fake, but I think some of them are looking for a fake more than they are looking for evidence that it is not.
About Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control
- Fast-acting, long-lasting flea and tick control for your pet
- Kills all life stages of 4 major tick species
- For dogs 45 to 88 pounds, Waterproof
- Offers continuous protection for 30 days
- Item is non-returnable; packaging may vary
This video shows step by step instructions how to apply a topical flea and tick medication such as Frontline Plus. It also explains why Frontline Plus is the recommended flea and tick.
Since FrontLine is essentially a poison to ticks and fleas, it also has a short term effect on the dog (usually mild diarrhea). Part of the problem is that Frontline markets in weight ranges, and as such a 22 lb dog gets a 0.67 ml dosage and a 23 lb dog gets 1.33 ml (twice as much).
This can’t be good for either dog (e.g. the 22 lb dog is not getting enough, and the 23 lb dog is overdosed).
If you are at all familiar with pet dosages, it’s always given in so many grams, ml, etc. PER POUND OF DOG WEIGHT. I called Frontline and they just flat out refused to tell me what the actual scientific dosage is. I think this is despicable. It’s all in the interest of selling more product and paying their lawyers to defend frivolous law suits.
If you purchase the 6 pack for 89-132 pound dogs, it will cost $2.49/ml, whereas the 3-pack for 0-22 lb dogs costs $15.42/ml.
All you need is a small resealable bottle and a syringe (without a needle) and you can buy the larger quantities and administer the right dosage per the directions on the box with your dog size and save grundles of money. This is especially effective if you have several dogs.


Your furry friends are more than simply pets, they’re a part of your family and as such, they deserve your protection. One of the things you should protect your pets from are the pests that can invade your property.
To help you keep your furry friends safe from harm, we’ll go over some of the pests that you need to look out for and keep your pet away from.
Cockroaches won’t usually go around your pets, however, they do enjoy snacking on any pet food that they can get their hands on. While they’re snacking away, they’re also spreading dangerous bacteria or viral diseases.
To avoid them from getting into your pet’s food, keep their food sealed and out of the way in a safe location.
Ants don’t only bite people. Ants don’t care what kind of creature it is, they’ll bite the moment that they feel threatened.
Not only can they be dangerous to your pet if stepped on, but there is also the risk of ants getting into your pet’s food. An ant infestation in your pet’s food can lead to a serious number of bites on your animal's face.
To protect your pets from ants, make sure there are no ant hills in your yard and keep your pet’s food sealed and in a secure location.
Rats & Mice
You may think it’s a normal thing for your cat to chase a mouse, but if they catch and eat that mouse, it could have serious consequences. Rodents have been known to carry diseases or parasites and they could end up being transferred to your pet.
Aside from the diseases or parasites, there’s also the risk of your pets ingesting some leftover bait poison that the rodent got into.
To keep your pet safe from rodents, make sure your home is sealed properly so they can’t find their way in.
Spiders or Bees
Both spiders and bees won’t go after your pet under most circumstances, but they will bite/ sting if threatened and your pet may accidentally make them feel that way.
Check your property for bee hives and large webs regularly to ensure your pet doesn’t put themselves in harm’s way.
Protect your pets
The best thing you can do to protect your pet from pests is to address the pests head-on. If you have one or more of these pests, contact professional help to handle them. The last thing you want and the last thing your pet deserves is to be bothered by any one of these pests.
At GermanTown Pest Control, we have the knowledge and experience to keep your furry friends safe from any harm. Contact us today to take care of pests and protect your pets!


We had an emergency with our cat yesterday. Her eye had been cloudy for a couple of days, and with our busy schedules, we didn’t rush to get her to the vet. Big mistake! I fed her in the morning as I always do yesterday, and about an hour later, my husband came to get me. “There’s something growing out of the middle of Donut’s eyeball!” Sure enough, it appeared he was right.
Of course, this time our busy schedule got scooted around, and we made time to bring her in. The vet felt that she had a melted eye ulcer and that the iris was coming out through the rupture. It looks as gross as it sounds, so I will spare you all the gory details by not posting a picture this time.
Going back and forth on how to deal with this situation, the vet felt the most realistic option was to remove her eye. Even with a visit to the kitty ophthalmologist, she felt this would be the eventual outcome anyway. My poor little cat! She will still be able to see out of the other eye, but I feel like the most awful pet parent! Moral of the story….never put off any eye issues with your pets! Not even by a couple of days!
We are animal people in my family. We have 4 cats and the silliest but most loyal and kind Beagle. Our animals are part of our family, and when people hear we have so many pets, they think we’re nuts. We wouldn’t have it any other way though. They fill our lives with love, and if I could responsibly, I’d even take in more pets.
I hope by writing this blog today that pet owners will read it when they’re Google searching “feline eye problems” and will know that cat eye issues are not something to mess around with. They will read my words and know that they should bring their little love cat to the vet right away.
My song of the day is by the freaky deaky band “The Cure.” They wrote a great song back in the 80’s, however, called “The Love Cats.” I’m pretty sure they were using cats as an analogy to the way human’s act, but I still love the lyrics of the song in reference to my furry loved ones:
“We’re so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Oh you know that I’d do anything for you”
So, click HERE to hear The Cure sing their song, and please….get your cats to the vet if you ever see anything out of the ordinary!


Meet my Missy! She was a part of our family for 18 years .. and was the leader of the pack!! She definitely had the essence of cats rule and dogs drool down packed.. that's for sure !
We rescued Missy a look time ago. We were living in Throgs Neck at the time and drove to Petco in Yonkers to buy some fish food for the fish in our 55 gallon tank. ( Yes, it's a lot of work !! Not sure what we were thinking with such a big tank but the whole system was a gift from my boss and it seemed like a fun adventure. )
Anyway, we went in and saw cat adoptions from a cat rescue. Missy had twirly whiskers which seemed so goofy looking to me that I wanted to take a closer look.
The rescue group mentioned that she was found near a burned down Chinese restaurant and although young, she was already a mama and saved her kittens which explained her curly whiskers. I picked her up and laid her in arms upside down and she immediately trusted me ... she purred and that was it! I was in love. We agreed to pick her up in her foster home .. which happen to be walking distance from where we lived .. what a coincidence, right? Nope. we were meant to be a family.
At first we were perplexed on choosing a name but then one day she was being a silly girl and I turned to her and said " What are you doing there lil Missy ?" and it stuck. She was a friendly but sassy girl and was definitely the boss as the first rescue she set the stage for who would run the show when it came to the pets. LOL
Missy was a trooper. She was with us through every move into a new apartment and all the other rescue dogs I brought home ( Found homes for them) and of course, in charge of the boys , Lucky and then Wall-e. ( More on them in the next few weeks! )
She kind of was just a chill cat. She would play with Lucky , our Golden Retriever their version of Tag and when Wall-e would get too excited and run back and forth in the hallway-she would give him a lil smack and set him straight! She was just the best.
Would make me crack up every time!! Cracking a smile now as I write this.
Awwee ..... I think about those moments and I miss them but I am so so grateful for the memories. Whatever tough moment that may have been happening , just enjoying how well they all got along and their silly antics made for some bursts of laughter, that's for sure!
If you have never rescued a pet- I highly recommend it. It is one of the most rewarding moments of grace you could give to another living thing. It will require some patience and maybe some routine adjustments at first but the unconditional love, the purrs from a cat and the wag from a dog and the kisses and snuggles make for a more colorful world which will help you heal.. because that is what they are ..... healers.
In an instant they can shift your mood , shift your internal conversation and even shift those tears of hurt into tears of laughter. They don't care about anything else but just being with you becasue you are a rockstar to them.. and that is it!
A mother effin ROCKSTAR!.
So to my Missy girl who is in kitty heaven. I will forever love you and I thank you for sharing your life with us. You have forever woven your kitty paws into the tapestry of our family history. Purr. Purr.
From my grateful heart to yours,


Something a Little Different
Well, today I’m going to talk about something that isn’t yarn related, but that is very important to me. I haven’t worked out a “theme” for Tuesdays yet, or maybe this will become the theme. Who knows! Today is for my little darlings - my birdies. I’ve loved birds for as long as I can remember - one of my favourite books as a child was “Elizabeth Hen”. My mum also loves birds and we’ve been members of the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) for as long as I can remember. In the past I’ve had chickens and ducks which I love, and will be getting more of as soon as we get out of the city again. Currently we have indoor birds - three budgies and two cockatiels in two big cages, dominating the living room.
The budgies are their own little flock. Very cute, very noisy and handtame, but not really interested in human interaction unless food is involved. They are lovely though and it’s a lot of fun to watch them together. Misfit is the oldest. We think she is about seven years old, and two of her toes (one on each foot) seem to have stopped gripping properly, but there’s nothing a vet can do for her because she’s so little. She does fine though flitting and jumping around the cage so we think she’s just feeling the effects of old budgie age. They can live to ten years old, but five is more normal, especially for pet shop birds, which she was. She is a sky blue, pied, grey wing and was so completely different from any of the others in the avairy (Pets at Home when they used to sell birds, had the budgies in an amazing 4’ x7’ x12’ avairy!) so that is how she got her name. She’s the bravest of our budgies and is happy to sit on hands and be lifted around, or sit on shoulders. Gizmo is a fat, greedy, blue girl. She’s the most timid of our birds and gets bullied by both the other two, poor girl. she’s about 6 years old. Widget is our grey boy. He came from a breeder and is ringed, so we know he’s six years old. Because he was bred as a show bird, he is bigger than the other two and he’s ridiculously laid back about being handled. He’s somewhere between Misfit and Gizmo as far as friendlyness goes - he will eat from your hand, but it takes him a little while to build up the courage. He’s the noisiest of the three and has a wide vocal range that he goes though, loudy!
The cockatiels are our babies. They’re just over three years old and we got them from a breeder. They were hand raised and are ridiculously tame. Lofty is the whiteface cinamon pied (i.e. the white one), and Kami is the cinnamon pearl pied (i.e. the yellow one). When we got them, Kami, who is about two weeks younger than Lofty had just been weaned. She had her first flight the day before we first saw them (a couple of weeks before we’d got them home) and she’d crash landed onto some fly paper, poor girl, so we named her Kamikaze. She was a bit shy of flying for a while after that, so she let us carry her everywhere and was pretty much tame right from the start. Lofty on them other hand, being slightly older had learnt to fly and that was all she wanted to do, so that’s how she got her name. Kami and Lofty have completely different personalities which is really cool. Kami is relaxed and not much bothers her. She’s pretty happy go lucky, will sit on your shoulder for hours and is very good at coming when you call her name. Lofty on the other hand is much less laid back. She’s also a sweetie and loves to sit with you, but she also has tantrums and hisses and stamps her feet which can be pretty funny. She particularly dislikes “mwah” noises and sneezing! They both love having their headscratched, and Lofty is definitely the most demanding and squeezes her head under your chin as part of her demands.
The cockatiels are quite intelligent - not so much as the larger parrots of course, but about the same level as a one and a half to two year old child. So just smart enough to get into trouble! They’re intrigued by my yarn - it makes a comfy perch apparently and it’s also fun to chase the working yarn and pull it out of my hand. To keep them busy in their cage we try to do as much foraging with them as we can - they have to dig their food out from under a variety of things, like dry pasta, buttons and small toys, or pull treats out of plastic balls and things or unwrap them from paper and so on, which is really good for them and keeps them busy during the day. The budgies also get some of the more simple foraging toys.


For countless households in the UK and around the world, pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. The bonds we share with our dogs and cats are unbreakable, filled with unconditional love and constant companionship. However, for many, this bond comes with a price: allergies. Pet allergies, particularly to cats and dogs, are a common yet distressing issue for many individuals. Thankfully, advancements in health technology, like GetTested’s Pet Allergy Test, are empowering pet lovers to understand their allergies better and manage them effectively, all from the comfort of home.
Understanding Pet Allergies: More Than Just Sneezes
Allergies to pets, especially dogs and cats, stem from proteins found in the animal’s skin cells, urine, and saliva. These allergens can latch onto fur and feathers, which then spread easily around the home and even on clothes. Symptoms can range from the mild, such as sneezing or a runny nose, to more severe reactions like asthma attacks or skin rashes.
What’s crucial to understand is that having a pet allergy doesn’t necessarily mean you’re allergic to all animals with fur, and it certainly doesn’t mean you have to give up the joy of having a pet. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to health, and this is where a reliable dog allergy test comes into play.
The Role of Home Allergy Tests
The traditional route for allergy testing might involve multiple appointments, skin pricks, or blood tests at a medical facility. However, with the rise of accurate home testing kits like GetTested’s Pet Allergy Test, discovering your allergens has never been easier or more convenient.
Rated 4.90 out of 5, this comprehensive kit allows anyone to easily verify whether they’re allergic to common pets, with individualised results for both dog and cat allergies. It’s a simple process — a small blood sample done at home, sent back to an ISO 13485 certified lab, and then you receive a comprehensive report, including recommendations for the next steps.
The beauty of this test lies in its ease and depth. Not only does it confirm whether you have an allergy, but it also provides insights into how severe your allergies are. Plus, if you’re curious about other potential allergies, GetTested offers a more extensive test that checks for an additional 36 allergens.
Managing Pet Allergies: Knowledge Leads to Action
Once you’ve pinpointed that you have a pet allergy, and you know its severity, you can take informed steps towards relief. While complete avoidance of the allergen is the most effective method, it’s not always feasible, especially for pet owners. Here are some strategies:
- Medication: Various over-the-counter and prescription medications can help reduce symptoms. These include antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, or allergy shots (immunotherapy) for more severe cases.
- Clean Environment: Regular cleaning to remove pet dander, investing in air purifiers, and keeping pets off furniture can significantly reduce allergen exposure.
- Pet Grooming: Regular baths and grooming for your pets can help lessen the allergens they spread around the home.
- Consultation with Allergists: For persistent or severe symptoms, visiting an allergist can provide more personalised treatment strategies, including long-term solutions like immunotherapy.
In Summary: Embracing Life with Pets, Allergy-Free
Pet allergies shouldn’t spell the end of your precious moments with your furry friends. With the aid of convenient and reliable home testing kits like GetTested’s Pet Allergy Test, you’re equipped with the knowledge you need to tackle these allergies head-on.
The journey to an allergy-free life begins with understanding. So, why wait? If you’re experiencing unexplained sneezing, itchy eyes, or other allergy-like symptoms around your pets, consider taking the proactive step of using a home allergy test. Order your kit today at dog allergy test and take the leap towards a more comfortable, fulfilling life with your beloved pets. After all, every moment with them is priceless.

About US and our amazing Sphynx!!
Hello, My name is Natalie,
The Certified TICA registered Pure Bred Owner and Breeder at

I am a Dog Training College Certified Trainer; Romanian Rescue Recommended PRO Trainer with The Dog's Point of View and Absolute Dogs Certified PRO Trainer (GEEK). I am studying to become a Canine Science Behaviourist with the School of Canine Science. I am a member of the Pet Professional Network.
Your dog's safety and wellbeing is at the forefront, as well as promoting and strengthening a positive relationship between dog and owners. I will work with you to come up with a successful resolution in whatever area it is that your dog is struggling with.
I use Positive Reinforcement based methods (using rewards to increase a desirable behaviour), with an emphasis on changing your dog's emotions towards the triggers - addressing the root cause of behaviour - that causes a reaction. If your dog is "Reactive", these behaviours such as barking or lunging will usually be fear based, or frustration, or over arousal. I will NEVER advise or use the use of Force, Fear, Intimidation or Aversive methods or tools, such as Choke/Shock/Prong Collars.


As many of you know, I am a huge animal lover and animal rights advocate. That is why I am thrilled to announce I will be the MC for the Wiggle Waggle Walk hosted by the Pasadena Humane Society later this month. Please join me and my dog Monkey as we show up to help raise awareness and money that will bring our homeless pet population closer and closer to being nonexistent.
I look forward to meeting you!
Remember, when making a choice about bringing a new furry friend into your home, please adopt. Don’t buy. XO

In Las Vegas, pet insurance is mandatory by law. It’s also a necessity for animal welfare laws. Vet bills can be astronomical. Even a typical policy pays up to 80% of the covered medical expenses, so you could be stuck with the entire bill if your insurer doesn’t reimburse you for the full cost of treatment. Here are some tips to keep in mind when selecting a pet insurance policy:
Embrace offers a comprehensive insurance plan for dogs and cats. The plan is designed to cover any costs associated with an accident or illness, regardless of the age or health of the pet. This plan covers veterinarian visits and emergency care for your pet while you are away. In the case of an accident, Embrace will pay the veterinarian’s fees up to the policy limit. This plan is particularly valuable if you plan to take your pet to Las Vegas on vacation.
The Embrace pet insurance plan in Las Vegas covers many procedures and illnesses. Most of these procedures are covered, including surgery and diagnostic tests. Wellness Rewards are additional benefits for Embrace pet insurance. They cover annual checkups, heartworm medication, vaccines, and spay/neuter procedures. Embrace offers a flexible payment plan that fits any budget. The cost is dependent on the type of coverage chosen, but can be customized to fit your budget.
Embrace does not cover pre-existing conditions. If your pet has a chronic or acute illness that isn’t curable, Embrace will reinstate coverage. It also doesn’t cover breeding, genetic conditions, or cosmetic surgery. But Embrace’s policy does allow for flexibility when building a policy. You can choose the number of annual reimbursement limits, prescription coverage, and amount of coverage per claim. You can also customize the coverage for dogs, cats, and cats.
Embrace offers coverage for your pets in all 50 states. You can visit an Embrace agent in person or get a quote online. It also offers free quotes. It’s best to shop around before choosing the policy you want to purchase. Embrace pet insurance in Las Vegas can be a great choice for pet owners. With more than 20 options, you can choose the best plan for your pet. For example, surgery costs for dogs are almost double those for cats, so getting the right plan can be a big relief.
Spot is another option for Embrace pet insurance in Las Vegas. Founded in 2004, PetFirst has been bought by MetLife and is now part of the Allstate family. They offer coverage for accidents, illness, and routine care. The company does not set a maximum age limit on its policies, so the cost of an individual policy is based on how much coverage you want. Most providers’ websites offer sample quotes.
Whether you want a plan for your dog or cat, GEICO offers many options. You can choose between health insurance and wellness coverage, which is great if you want your pet to stay healthy. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Wellness coverage is usually the cheapest choice, but there are some things to keep in mind. In addition, wellness coverage doesn’t have any waiting period or copayment. You can get a policy in all 50 states.
Geico’s wellness plan comes with three levels of annual benefits. Each tier offers a different amount of coverage and deductibles. The first level covers treatment for most ailments and includes exams. The other tier covers preventative care up to a limit of $250. Each plan has its own deductible, but Geico offers a variety of discounts to attract customers. Geico has a website that provides little information about their policies, but the best part is the cost of premiums.
GEICO’s pet insurance Las Vegas policy is inexpensive, and the company partners with Embrace, an industry leader. Because of the partnership, you can choose any veterinarian that accepts their policies. Customer service and claims handling are handled by Embrace, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands. If you’re considering a Geico policy, make sure you research your options first. You can also compare several different policies and get the best possible price.
Accident & Illness plan is a flexible plan that allows you to customize the coverage amount and deductible. It also allows you to choose the maximum amount of reimbursement each year. When purchasing an Accident & Illness plan, make sure to give basic information about your pet and then select a plan. The monthly premium for Accident & Illness coverage is usually $100 with a $95% reimbursement. The annual coverage limit is $5,000. Accidental plans cover poisoning, foreign body ingestation, car accidents, and prescription medications.
Embrace Veterinary pet insurance Las Vegas provides affordable coverage for your pets’ veterinary care. You can select an accident and illness plan for your cat or dog, which typically covers 90 percent of the costs. There is also a wellness rewards program for your pet, which reimburses you up to $650 for covered wellness treatments. You can choose the plan that best suits your needs and budget. Read on to learn more.
Embrace covers many common illnesses and injuries, including cancer and hip dysplasia. It also covers common problems like ear infections and poisoning. There are even benefits for cosmetic procedures like sock extraction and nail trimming. In addition, Embrace covers routine veterinary services and will reimburse the cost of x-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds. For added convenience, you can customize the plan to your pet’s specific needs.
Embrace Veterinary pet insurance Las Vegas has three core values. They respect the needs of their clients, are open to innovation, and are passionate about their work. Embrace has supported work flexibility in the past, which is beneficial to pet owners. This is why the company is ranked third in our Best Pet Insurance Companies of 2022. We highly recommend Embrace Veterinary pet insurance Las Vegas. This company also has a low deductible, which is an additional benefit for pet owners.
The most notable difference between Embrace and Trupanion is their annual limits. With Embrace, the annual limits are lower, while with Trupanion, you must pay a deductible every year for your pet’s entire life. Embrace’s monthly premium is cheaper, but its deductible is higher. However, you must make sure your pet’s health is an emergency before submitting a claim.
The rates of pet insurance vary by state, but generally speaking, if you live in an urban area, your pet’s veterinary care will be more expensive. Because of this, you’ll want to compare the rates of each company in your state. In Nevada, Embrace Veterinary has the lowest rates, while Figo and 24 Pet Watch have the highest monthly premiums. These differences will make it easier for you to choose a policy that suits your needs.
If you live in Las Vegas, Nevada and own a pet, you can get pet insurance through Wilson One. If your pet is injured in an accident, this insurance can help cover the cost of the vet’s bills. The plan covers the cost of most services. You may have to pay a deductible and have the insurance company cover the rest. For more information, read the practice’s literature. Read reviews and ask questions.
