Having the right leash for the right situation is paramount. That’s why when my little dog, Cleo needs to make a late night potty break, I grab the Mhu Ghu leash. I live in Southern California where coyotes and other predators roam boldly in our neighborhood. I want to keep Cleo, an 11-year-old, 12-pound terrier-poodle mix, safe from harm.
As a pet expert, I was contacted and sent one of Mhu Ghu’s 4-foot USB/Solar L.E.D> Lighted Leashes to test and evaluate. Here’s my take:
* The leash is well stitched.
* The battery fits inside a circular safety container (twist top) and with the push of my thumb, can blink fast, blink slow, provide a steady light and turn off – easy!
* The leash features a metal swivel to reduce tangling when clipped on a dog’s collar.
* The handle is comfortable.
* The price for this quality leash is $39.99.
* You have the option to recharge the battery via USB.
* I do wish the leash featured a hook to attach one’s house key (my daytime leash has one so I never worry about accidentally locking Cleo and I out of the house when we go on walks).
The CEO of Mhu Ghu, Wendy Moliere, is committed to donating a portion of sales to worthy non-profit pet groups.
Bottom line: This is a good leash for consideration is you have a small to medium-sized dog who walks nicely on a leash — especially ideal for nighttime walks to keep the both of you visible and safe. To learn more, please visit Mhu Ghu’s website.

Dallas’ Park Cities Pet Sitter, Inc. Will Have Newest Sitter Staff Certified in Pet First Aid and CPR in November
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 14, 2013
Park Cities Pet Sitter President, Joette White, believes having the best trained sitters possible is the key to her business’ success and longevity. Part of this training includes having her pet sitters trained in pet first aid and CPR. Ms. White’s newest pet sitters will undergo Pet Tech First Aid/CPR training on November 10th to receive certification on the latest pet first aid and CPR protocols. The certification class will cover things like pet restraining and muzzling, choking management, fracture/bleeding protocols, care for heatstroke and frostbite, poisoning, seizures and other emergency management techniques.
Ms. White says that having her pet sitters certified in pet first aid and CPR helps set Park Cities Pet Sitter apart from other pet sitting companies, and gives her clients additional peace of mind. “Park Cities Pet Sitter clients really treat their pets like family members; and while no one likes to think about potential emergencies, they do occasionally happen. This is why we have our pet sitters trained in pet first aid/CPR protocols, because the health and safety of our clients’ pets is our number one priority.”
The Pet Tech First Aid/CPR training will be given by Pet Tech Master Trainer, Arden Moore. Ms. Moore is a unique instructor in that she brings her own household pets, dog Chipper and cat Zeki, as live test subjects for the training. In addition to her Pet Tech Master Trainer status, Ms. Moore is a pet behavior consultant, best-selling author of 24 pet books, and the host of the No. 1 pet podcast: the Oh Behave Show on PetLifeRadio.com.
Though the November 10th training class is for Park Cities Pet Sitter employees only, Ms. Moore is also offering two additional pet first aid/CPR training classes that are open to the public. The first is on Sunday, November 3rd from 9:30am-2:30pm at the Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel, located at 4440 W. John Carpenter Freeway in Irving, TX. The second open-to-the-public class will be offered on Monday, November 11th from 9am-3:30pm at the SPCA of Texas, located at 2400 Lone Star Drive in Dallas, TX. The fee to join either training class is $99, and that covers all course materials and an official two-year certification.
Pre-registration and payment is required to secure a spot in either the November 3rd or November 11th class. To sign up for either class, go to http://www.petfirstaid4u.com/schedule, and click on the PayPal BUY NOW button for the preferred class date.

I woke up yesterday all excited about entering Cleo, my 12-pound mutt, in the annual Loews Surf Competition staged at Imperial Beach, CA. Despite her size, she is a gutsy dog who loves, loves, loves to ride in waves on her surfboard. She is a proud member of the So Cal Surf Dogs.
However, the waves were nasty and menacing at the event and there was also a strong current that was clipping photographers to their knees in the surf. And, one 90-pound dog named Bodie, suffered a severe swollen back leg after his surfboard soared high in the air and landed on him, causing him to yelp in pain. As a master certified pet first aid instructor with Pet Tech, I was able to assess Bodie, wrap his leg in an iced bandana and help carry him into his vehicle so his pet parents, Kristi and Mark Jagger could take him to their veterinarian. Fortunately, no broken bones! (Learn more by visiting my pet first aid site: www.petfirstaid4u.com and I hope to see you in an upcoming class!)
I, like many people with small dogs, opted to withdraw from competition for safety reasons. If the waves could hurt a big dog like Bodie, there was no way I was going to risk injury to little Cleo. So, since my sister, Karen and nephew, Andy were visiting from Indiana, we went with Plan B: we drove up I-5 to Ocean Beach Dog Beach were the waves were much calmer. Here is a very happy Cleo catching a wave there.

For some people, dogs rank right next to children in the hierarchy of family importance. Depending on your children, your dog may rank higher. You wouldn’t feed your family something you knew was harming them— shouldn’t the same practice apply to our pets? With almost 62 percent of United States’ homes housing a pet (according to the ASPCA), it is obvious that many of us appreciate the companionship offered by animals— and learning about their diet is a good way to show them we care.
The Importance of Diet
We all know that eating right equates to feeling good. When you eat healthier, you have more energy, an improved mood and you experience less illness. Recently, researchers have begun to consider whether the same applies to our furry companions.
Little Research, a Big Problem?
According to a study from Nutritional Research Reviews, little actual work has been done in determining the effects of diet on canine behavior. The authors of the study predict that many problem behaviors in dogs— such as aggression, barking and anxiety— could be addressed through diet.
The study’s authors conclude, though there is little research into canine diet, other animal studies indicate that nutrition does impact behavior. Rats, for instance, were less likely to kill mice if they were given enough tryptophan. With good research, it could be possible to address canine behavior through nutrition.
What We Do Know
The lack of official research has not stopped dog lovers from attempting to create the perfect dog food. The results of these efforts range from all-raw meat diets to vegetarian diets and everything in between. The common thread between all of these diets, though, is the inclusion of high-quality ingredients.
Because there has been no scientific consensus on the perfect dog diet, owners have been forced to experiment. Specialty food manufacturers provide the healthy, happy and long-lived dogs of their customers as evidence of the effectiveness of each diet. This leaves you (the dog owner) with the final decision on what you think is best for your dog.
Avoid the Cheap Stuff
According to Whole Dog Training, an entire host of behavioral problems can often be laid at the feet of cheap commercial dog food. Ingredients such as corn, a cheap protein filler in low-quality dog foods, do not have the necessary nutrients to keep your dog healthy.
What Diet Is Best?
Dogs appear to be pretty versatile omnivores; they just need good quality food. According to Living Green Magazine, the Guinness Book of World Records includes the oldest living dog: a Border Collie that lived for 27 years. The dog was fed a vegan diet with no meat or animal products.
Others argue that feeding a dog (an animal obviously designed to eat at least some meat) a vegetarian diet is ridiculous. Most veterinarians, according to ABC News, would never recommend a vegan diet for dogs.
It appears that there will be no consensus anytime soon on the perfect diet for a healthy, well-behaved pet. You, however, do not necessarily need to seek perfection. Simply doing some research and reading labels on your pet’s food is a great place to start. Provide clean water, plenty of pats on the back and happy trips to the park. Shop at trusted pet stores or websites, and feed them high-quality food for their furry tummies.
Trial and Error
In the end, the diet that works best for you and your pet will be determined through trial and error. Learn what to avoid and aim for a more wholesome approach. Then sit back and see how it works for your dog.
Question: What do you do to keep your dog healthy and happy? Please share your ideas here.

I’ve had many cats in my life. Growing up in Crown Point, Indiana, I had a Siamese named Corky who would swim in our backyard lake and follow anyone with a fishing pole in hopes of garnering a bluegill snack. My senior cat, Murphy (now 14) is the only cat I know who will come when you whistle the Jeopardy theme song.
But I have never met a cat so calm and content — and cool — to be a feline as Zeki. Zeki’s beginnings as a stray were scary. On a Fourth of July a few years ago in Dallas, she was a hungry stray. She made the near-fatal mistake of coming up to a man in hopes of scoring a treat. Instead, he took his hunting knife and skinned her back before she managed to wiggle free and scoot under a porch. Kind neighbors heard her cries of pain and rushed her to the veterinary clinic where she underwent extensive treatment, far too many sutures and water therapy.
Zeki was fostered by my friend, Dusty Rainbolt who knew that this white cat with distinctive gray markings would be a good match in my household — and my heart. She was right.
Today, Zeki is about 4 years old. She is very social, quite confident and has yet to meet a stranger or feel like she is in a strange place. She travels with me all over the country as Pet Tech’s first official feline teaching assistant. I am a master certified pet first aid/CPR instructor and Zeki (and often my dog, Chipper) come to class to give students opportunities for hands-on skills on a pair of very tolerant teaching assistants who just happen to wag tails and purr. If you are interested in taking one of my classes, learn more by visiting my Pet First Aid 4 U site.
And, of course, she has her own Facebook page — Zeki the Cool Cat - and we invite you to join and catch her latest feline escapade.
Recently, Zeki became certified as a therapy cat with Pet Partners (formerly known as Delta Society) and our goal is to have her visit VA hospitals and reading programs in schools.
But one of her uncanny traits is her ability to make friends with dogs. She has this energy I suspect that she emits to dogs to let them know she is not a fraidy cat and that she likes them. She has canine pals who are Great Danes, pit bulls, poodles and even itty-bitty Chihuahuas.
Need proof? Here is a recent photo taken in my backyard of Zeki hanging with her ‘pup posse’ that consists of my dogs, Chipper and Cleo and our neighbor pals, Stanley and Buddy. Zeki is working hard to debunk that notion that they ‘fight like cats and dogs.”
Do you have a cat who really digs dogs? Please share your feline tale!

Mother Nature needs to take a doggy obedience class and learn how to behave! We have had far too many natural disasters and in each case, beloved pets get injured, become lost or worse. That is why as founder of Four Legged Life.com, I salute the efforts led by my pals at Petsitting.com. They immediately jumped in and are doing their part to help the pets affected by the Oklahoma tornado.
Details are posted below — together, we can make this a better planet for pets and their people! — Arden Moore
Petsitting.com to Donate 10% of Sales Toward Helping Homeless and Injured Pets in Oklahoma
Company seeks to help animals after a tornado claiming the lives of more than 20 people
NEW YORK (May 22, 2013) – In response to the recent natural disaster in Moore, Oklahoma, Petsitting.com has announced that it will be donating 10 percent of its total sales this week toward helping the dogs and cats left without homes in the area.
The company will donate to the Pet Food Pantry of OKC, which is offering dog and cat food, leashes, collars, food bowls and other items to pet owners in need. Many pets and pet owners have been separated during the storm, and Petsitting.com is doing what it can to help rescue these pets and hopefully reunite them with their owners.
“This disaster has had a devastating impact not only on the people who live there, but on their pets as well,” said Jared Katz, Vice President of Sales for Petsitting.com. “We feel it is part of our responsibility to do whatever we can to help out using the resources at our disposal, and we encourage our partner organizations in the area to do the same.”
Petsitting.com encourages any residents who find lost or homeless pets in the Moore area to call the local Animal Resource Center at 405-604-2892. The center, which is also offering shelter for displaced people temporarily, is located at 7949 S. I-35 Service Road in Oklahoma. The City of Moore Animal Control Department will collect information on lost and found pets, and can be reached at 405-793-5190.
In addition to the contributions, the company is also calling on its partner pet care providers in and around Moore to help care for injured and homeless animals.
On Monday, May 20, an EF-4 tornado touched down in Moore, with an estimated 24 people—including nine children—losing their lives and many more seriously injured, according to ABC News. Many dogs and cats have been left wandering the streets without homes, many of them suffering from injuries of their own.
Petsitting.com has a network of trusted pet care providers across North America, including near Moore. Pet owners use the website to find pet care services—such as dog walking, boarding and doggy daycare—close to where they live.

Many of us love our dogs, but not all the hair they shed. Got a Sir-Shed-a-Lot dog? I can certainly sympathize. My dog, Chipper is the combination of the two most notorious shedding breeds: Golden retriever and Siberian Husky. My vacuum works overtime! But that’s a minor issue because Chipper is a grrr-eat dog.
For tips on how to deal with the hair, hair everywhere in your canine household, please check out the tips from guest blogger Ron Rutherford posted below:
1. Brush Your Pet Daily
One of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce the amount of shedding is to brush your dog on a daily basis. Brushing your pet helps remove loose fur before it has a chance to rub off and stick to your furniture, carpet, car seat, and everywhere in between. The type of brush depends on the type of dog you have. For instance, a bristle brush works best for shorthaired dogs, a “rake” is best for longhaired pets, and a pin brush is best for those with long, wavy fur. Most pet stores will also carry special brushes designed for dogs with excessive shedding problems, and any clerk should be knowledgeable enough and happy to help you find the right type for your pet.
2. Add Moisture to Your Dog’s Diet
Dogs who lack moisture in their diets are more likely to shed because a meal regimen based solely on dry dog food (especially one that uses lots of fillers) can make for weak fur that breaks off easily. There are many ways you can increase your pet’s moisture intake: melons (cantaloupe and de-seeded watermelon), green beans, and carrots are all healthy snacks that your dog can eat in moderation to help increase the moisture consumption. Many people also feed their dog flax seed oil in order to keep the coat in top condition, but since there is conflicting opinions on this, make sure to check with your veterinarian first.
3. Bathe Your Dog Regularly
Another helpful trick to help keep your dog’s shedding to a minimum is regular bathing; giving your dog a bath helps remove clotted and matted up fur, and there are plenty of anti-shedding shampoos and conditioners to choose from as well. How often you should wash your dog depends on many factors; the breed, the lifestyle (if he spends a lot of time outdoors or loves to roll in dirty or leap in mud puddles), and the skin type all come into play. It’s important to consult your veterinarian first as bathing your dog too often can strip the coat of necessary oils and increase dry, itchy skin.
4. Keep the Vacuum and Lint Roller Handy
While daily brushing, regular grooming, and a healthy diet all help keep your dog’s shedding under control, there is no magic fix, and chances are, you’re going to have some loose fur pop up here and there. Vacuuming your carpet and furniture daily can significantly help with the build-up, and having a lint roller on hand is a must for any pet owner. Try putting down a blanket or a sheet on the couch before you invite your dog up to cuddle with you, and if you’re daring enough to wear black, change right before you head out the door to minimize the amount of time you have to get covered in fur.
Shedding is the one downside to having a dog, but if you’re willing to take the time and make the efforts to minimize the problem, it shouldn’t be anything you can’t handle. Besides, considering the friendship, loyalty, and entertainment your dog gives you on a daily basis, it’s really not that much to ask.

All work and no play can make us two-leggers feeling stressed and acting grumpy. Earlier today, I invited a couple neighbor dogs — Stan the miniature Poodle and Buddy the no-so-miniature Schnauzer to a backyard play date with my dogs, Chipper (Golden retriever-Husky) and Cleo (12-pound mystery mutt).
Within a minute, Stan the Man let out a friendly yelp and plopped into a play bow and the fun began. Check out the short video of this fun foursome dashing and romping and enjoying one another’s company.
Dogs do learn a lot from us, but when we give them the opportunity, they can teach us a lot about getting the most out of life. Play — it does a body good! That’s the “woof” message today from Arden Moore, the Pawsitive Coach(tm) and Four Legged Life.com.

Yes, I did take my cat, Zeki, with me to Los Angeles recently where I was a presenter at the Cat Writers Association conference. I had to. Zeki is my co-presenter and a true travel kitty. As this story written by Catster’s Monique Balas depicts, Zeki’s young life was horrific. But she is now the first feline teaching assistant in pet first aid with Pet Tech, the world’s No. 1 hands-on pet first aid program.
Every day, Zeki continues to amaze me with her ability to not let the horrible past consume her present state of mind. She is a spunky survivor blessed with a can-do attitude and plenty of feline charm for people, cats and even dogs.
Please enjoy this profile on Zeki and share it with your pet pals. And, be sure to become a Facebook fan of Zeki — click here! Learn more about Zeki’s pet first aid role by visiting Pet First Aid 4 U.

Welcome to the newest page turner idea: The Blog Hop.
What is a blog hop? Basically, it is a way for readers to discover new authors. After all, we authors need to be creative not only with words, but with marketing. With bookstores closing and publishers not promoting new authors as much, the Blog Hop is a way to introduce readers to authors they may not see in their local bookstore.
Here is an easy, effective way to find new authors. I first wish to thank fellow author Amy Shojai for tagging me to participate. She is a best-selling author of both non-fiction and fiction books, including her latest thriller called: LOST AND FOUND. New York Times bestselling author James Rollins penned this review of Amy’s book: “Riveting, heart-wrenching, brilliant, the debut of a stunning talent.”
Click here to find out more about this book and Amy Shojai, co-founder of Cat Writers Association and one of the world’s top pet authors!
In this post, I am following the Blog Hop protocol by answering these 10 questions about my latest book, What Dogs Want, and my background as an author. I hope you enjoy this and share it with your pet-loving pals!
1. What is the title of your latest pet book?
My 24th pet book is entitled, What Dogs Want: A Visual Guide to Understanding Your Dog’s Every Move.
2. Where did the idea come from for this book?
I’ve traveled all over North America and given talks about dog (and cat) behavior to people who are frustrated, perplexed or confused by what their pets do and say. One day, I received a call from a book editor from Global Book Publishing in Australia. She was searching for an author to write a canine communications book and said I was the publisher’s top pick to write it.
3. What genre does your book come under?
This is a non-fiction pet book filled with great insights into the canine mind.
4. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
In an easy-to-follow format, this book bridges the canine-people communication gap by decoding 100 postures, expressions, sounds and actions from dogs.
5. Is your book self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?
What Dogs Want is a global release from Global Book Publishing. Firefly Books is handling the North America release.
6. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Surprising a shorter-than-anticipated time: about four months. Like most of us authors, I wrote this book while I was juggling other book projects, magazine article assignments and editing chores.
7. What other books would you compare this book to within your genre?
Two of my favorite pet authors who really know how dogs think are Dr. Marty Becker, America’s Family Veterinarian and author of Your Dog: The Owner’s Manual; and Dr. Sophia Yin, a terrific veterinarian-behaviorist and author of How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves.
8. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
9. What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
The photos! Each page you turn ushers you to another stunning photo of dogs evoking all types of emotions. The cover features a Jack Russell terrier cocking his head and looking right into your eyes.
10. How can we find out more about you and your other books?
I invite you to ‘sniff around’ my main website: Four Legged Life, to learn more about my mission to bring out the best in pets and their people.

It seems the fate of the little dog Forgea, adrift in the Pacific has now garnered the close attention of the U.S. Coast Guard
, as the ship has meandered into U.S. waters near Johnston Island and the USCG is reportedly taken over the recovery of the abandoned tanker. The Coast Guard was sending a salvage tug on a three-day trip to assess the potential environmental danger to the island.
The burned-out tanker is said to be carrying in excess of 60,000 gallons of diesel fuel and lube oil.
The American Quest, the same ship contracted by the Hawaiian Humane Society to rescue Forgea on April 5, has now been contracted by the U.S. Coast Guard to remove the disabled Insinko because of potential for environmental impact. The Insiko is drifting closer to Johnston Atoll with the 2-year-old dog Forgea still onboard.
Hawaiian Humane Society President Pamela Burns said that the Humane Society is providing supplies that will be utilized to safely capture the dog. “We will provide humane animal traps and tasty treats for the American Quest crew to use, and show them how everything works,” said Burns. “The goal is to retrieve Forgea and have her transferred to the American Quest for safe voyage back to Honolulu.” The American Quest departs Honolulu Harbor at approximately 9 p.m. on April 23 for the 2-day trip to the Insiko in the Pacific Ocean.
“If Forgea is not contained by the humane animal trap,” Burns said, “arrangements will be made for Hawaiian Humane Society staff
to go onboard and retrieve her while the ship is still in open water.”
The Humane Society will
provide updates on the rescue upon further developments. News releases will also be available on the Society’s Web site at www.hawaiianhumane.org.

This post illustrates the varied situations pet sitters can encounter. One of the strangest calls I ever made to a client's veterinarian was the day I called about Charlie Brown the cat. Charlie Brown was one of three cats in a lovely home with great owners. I was their regular pet sitter for several years until they moved out of the country. All the cats were unique. One was jet black. One was a tuxedo cat, and then there was Charlie Brown. You can see a photo of Charlie Bro
Clients who give the occasional tip are a blessing to pet sitters Professional pet sitting was the first "job" I ever had where I received tips occasionally. They were very much appreciated. Even though hiring a professional pet sitter is sort of a luxury service because pet-sitters usually aren't a cheap service to hire, a professional pet sitter, especially a solo sitter and someone who is just starting out, really doesn't make a lot of money. Let's say for example, that a
Goldilocks discovered what was "just right" for her. Pet sitters can too. In the fairytale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", Goldilocks tried out different chairs, bowls of porridge, and beds. In each case, she found a chair, porridge, and bed that was "just right". It was a process of discovery. I think, in my ever-evolving mind, that pet sitting is the same sort of discovery process. Let me explain..... When pet sitters start pet sitting there is always a learning curve. A

February is Responsible Pet Owner Month and during the cold, wet winter months the importance of being a loving and caring pet owner is a top priority.
Albie, or Albert Einstein, is the dog of Chelsea McKendree, Bellarmine’s Testing Center Director, and she said Albie is a very spoiled dog. McKendree said during wintertime she pays extra attention to all of his needs and gives him special care for this time of the year.
“I make sure he stays warm and dry and also in the winter he gets dry skin. I am very aware of what I feed him and try to feed him food with oils that are good for his skin,” McKendree said.
Emily Pacey, a sophomore, is another dutiful pet owner who takes care of her cat, Sunny. Pacey said that Sunny is her emotional support animal, and just like any other animal, he has both physical and emotional needs.
“He [Sunny] really likes being outdoors and listening to all the sounds, but he has separation anxiety so he can’t be too far away from me,” Pacey said.
Pacey said because Sunny is an indoor cat there really isn’t anything special that she does to provide for him in the winter. Although, she said, Sunny loves to lie in her bed with a stuffed toy on especially cold days.
This mirrors what Hannah Robinson, a first-year, does with all three of her dogs. Robinson said her dog, Beau, loves to be warm and cuddle during winter months. Robinson said all of her dogs -two Labradors and an English Bulldog- are both indoor and outdoor.
“My dogs are pretty built for the outdoors,” Robinson said, “but during the winter we [my family] don’t let them stay outside as long so they don’t get cold.”
All three pet owners said doing the basics for a pet goes a long way, from giving them food and water to taking time to go outside and giving affection.
“Part of having a pet is making sure that pet owners make sure their pet are taken emotionally as well as physically,” McKendree said.

The Story behind Rescued by Miriam Newman
Once upon a time, there was a lonely lady and a dog scavenging for garbage. If you know anything about rescue work, you don’t have to be told what happened next.
“Rescued” is the true story of my first rescue, Dancer, the whippet-pit bull mix I adopted after my husband died. Little did I know what I was getting into. My dog off the streets was delighted to be in a house—that is, if she didn’t destroy it first. She liked having a cat—preferably for dinner. She didn’t like her crate, and that’s a whole ‘nother story.
She left my life, my house and my heart in a state of demolition and rebuild. Yes, a dog can rebuild your heart.
Today, in between writing books and running a small horse farm, I foster rescue dogs. This book is devoted to them and to the many wonderful people—too many to name—who work in rescue. And in transport. And in foster care, adoptions, veterinary medicine. They are unsung heroes, each and every one of them.
Dancer opened up a whole new world to me and I have never been sorry. When my nerves are frazzled, my heart broken because there was one I couldn’t save…when the furniture is chewed and somebody has decided my bed is a good place to mark their territory…even then, or especially then, I am rescued.
In the love for these broken dogs we have chosen to dedicate our lives to, we find ourselves.
And so I have written a little story. I hope you will enjoy it.

Skin infections can affect pets of all sizes, types, and breeds. They can cause symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe pain and discomfort. Neglected grooming is one of the main causes of pet skin infections and can lead to various health problems if left untreated.
One of the most effective ways to prevent skin infections in pets is by maintaining a regular grooming routine. This involves brushing your pet’s fur to remove loose hair, debris, and tangles, which can harbor bacteria and other irritants.
Bathing your pet with a gentle shampoo designed specifically for their species and skin type can also help keep their skin clean and healthy. Choosing the right grooming products for your pet’s skin type is essential to avoid causing irritation or an allergic reaction.
Signs of Skin Infections in Pets
Pet owners must be aware of the signs of skin infections in their pets, as symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. One common sign of a skin infection is scabbing, which can indicate the presence of bacteria or other irritants affecting the skin’s surface.
Itching and redness are also typical symptoms of skin infections in pets. These symptoms often suggest irritation, inflammation, or a possible allergic reaction. Hair loss may accompany these signs, which can indicate chronic skin issues or an underlying health problem.
Another sign of a skin infection is crusting and oozing on the skin. This may point to a more severe infection that requires immediate attention. Inflamed and painful skin can be a sign of a deeper infection that causes discomfort for your pet.
Discharge from the skin and a strong odor can also indicate a skin infection. These symptoms may be associated with bacterial or fungal infections and should not be ignored.
If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, it’s essential to contact your veterinarian right away. Early intervention can help prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome for your pet’s health.
Understanding the Causes of Skin Infections in Pets
Skin infections in pets can be attributed to a variety of factors. One of the most common causes of skin infections is poor grooming. Neglecting to brush and bathe your pet regularly can lead to a buildup of dirt, debris, and bacteria, resulting in skin infections.
Allergies are another common cause of skin infections in pets. Pets can develop allergic reactions to various substances, such as food, pollen, or chemicals. These allergies can cause skin irritation and inflammation, making the skin more susceptible to infections.
Parasites, such as fleas and mites, can also cause skin infections. These tiny creatures can burrow into your pet’s skin, leading to irritation, redness, and inflammation. In turn, this can result in secondary bacterial or fungal infections.
Environmental conditions, including heat, humidity, and excessive sunlight, can contribute to skin infections in pets. High temperatures and humidity can encourage the growth of bacteria and fungi, while excessive sunlight can lead to sunburn and skin damage.
Lastly, contact with other infected animals can result in the transmission of skin infections. Close contact, such as during play or grooming, can spread bacteria, fungi, or parasites from one pet to another.
How Grooming Can Help Prevent Skin Infections
Grooming is vital in maintaining your pet’s health and preventing skin infections. Regular brushing and bathing help to keep the fur clean, removing dead skin cells and dirt that can lead to skin irritation and infection.
Brushing is essential for eliminating excess hair and maintaining a healthy coat. This practice keeps your pet looking its best and prevents matting and tangling, which can harbor bacteria and parasites.
Regular grooming sessions also allow identifying potential health problems early on. By closely examining your pet’s skin and coat, you can spot skin lesions, infections, or parasite infestations before they become more serious issues. Addressing these concerns promptly can save your pet from discomfort and prevent further complications.
Tips for Maintaining a Regular Grooming Routine
Regular grooming is key to keeping your pet healthy and free from skin infections. Brushing your pet’s coat at least once a week is essential. Use a brush or comb specifically designed for your pet’s coat type to ensure proper care.
Bathing your pet regularly is also essential. Choose a shampoo formulated for your pet’s skin type to avoid irritation. Dog-specific shampoos are often the best choice. Always follow your vet’s instructions when bathing your pet.
In addition to at-home grooming, consider taking your pet to a professional Pet grooming Hollywood FL periodically. They can provide expert care and help you maintain your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Choosing the Right Grooming Products for Your Pet’s Skin Type
To choose the right grooming products for your pet, it’s essential first to understand their skin type. Different skin types require specific care to maintain optimal health.
Pets with dry skin may benefit from medicated shampoos and conditioners. These products can help soothe irritated skin and provide the necessary moisture to keep the skin healthy and supple.
For pets with oily skin, oil-free shampoos are often a better choice. These products can help prevent excessive oil buildup while effectively cleaning the skin and fur.
Selecting a shampoo specifically designed for your pet’s breed is also crucial. Breed-specific shampoos consider the unique needs of each breed’s coat and skin.
If you’re unsure which grooming products are best for your pet, consider asking professional Hollywood FL pet groomers for advice. They have the knowledge and experience to recommend the most suitable products for your pet’s individual needs.
Understanding the Importance of Diet in Preventing Skin Infections
In addition to proper grooming, diet is also an essential factor in preventing skin infections in pets. A balanced and nutritious diet helps to keep your pet’s skin healthy and moisturized. The best way to ensure your pet has a balanced diet is to work with your veterinarian to create a diet plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
What to Do if You Suspect Your Pet Has a Skin Infection
If you suspect your pet has a skin infection, acting promptly and taking them to the veterinarian is crucial. The veterinarian can thoroughly examine your pet, assess the severity of the infection, and determine the appropriate course of action.
Depending on the diagnosis, your veterinarian may prescribe medications or other treatments to address the infection. This could include antibiotics, antifungal medications, or topical creams to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
It’s equally important to monitor your pet’s condition closely during treatment. Monitor for any signs of infection or changes in their overall health. If you notice any concerning symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact your veterinarian for further guidance. Early intervention can help prevent complications and ensure your pet’s swift recovery.
The Risks of Leaving Skin Infections Untreated
Leaving skin infections untreated can result in a range of health issues for your pet. One potential consequence of an untreated infection is its spread to other parts of the body. This can lead to more severe infections that require extensive treatment.
Untreated skin infections can also cause significant pain and discomfort for your pet. This can impact their quality of life and make it difficult for them to engage in normal activities.
Furthermore, untreated infections can weaken your pet’s immune system, making them more susceptible to other illnesses and skin conditions. This can create a vicious cycle of health problems that could have been prevented with timely intervention.
How to Prevent Future Skin Infections Through Proper Grooming and Care
Taking steps to prevent future skin infections is essential for your pet’s well-being. One effective approach is ensuring regular grooming and a proper diet. Regular brushing and bathing help keep their coat clean and free of dirt and debris, reducing the risk of infections.
Professional pet grooming near me can provide expert care and assistance in maintaining your pet’s coat and skin health. They can also advise on the best grooming practices and products for your pet’s specific needs.
The Top mobile pet groomers offer the added convenience of coming to your home, and providing personalized grooming services in a familiar and comfortable environment for your pet. This can be particularly beneficial for pets that experience anxiety or stress during grooming sessions.
In addition to grooming, a nutritious and balanced diet is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. A proper diet supports your pet’s immune system, ensuring their skin remains resilient against potential infections. Consult your veterinarian to determine the most appropriate diet for your pet’s needs.

Cold Weather Bathroom Blues
It’s no secret that getting your precious pups to ’use the outdoor facilities’ during winter’s colder months comes as a challenge.
Today, we’re sharing some helpful tips to encourage your dog to maintain their housetraining habits even during the cold winder months.
Let’s dive in!
1. Bundle Up
Have your coat, boots, gloves and treats ready to go outside with them. This way we can ensure they are going to the bathroom and it gives us the chance to reinforce this behaviour.
2. Bundle Your Dog Up
Have their boots and coats ready, too! Some dogs would prefer to bundle up to go outside. If this makes your dog more comfortable and more inclined to go outside, it really is best for you to take the time to do this.
3. Shovel a Path
It sure can be daunting for us to look at the snow piling up outside, but can you imagine if you are only a couple of inches off the ground? Making a path will not only help keep your dog’s paws dry and less cold, but will encourage them to go outside.
4. Avoid Punishment
Do not punish your dog for accidents in the house. This will only teach them that you can be scary and unpredictable. Most dogs that are punished for accidents in the house will still do it, but they will do it where you are less likely to find it. Remember, punishment doesn’t work in teaching your dogs what they are supposed to do.
5. Clean Up Accidents
Accidents happen. Be sure to clean up any ’woopsies’ with an enzymatic cleaner. This will help discourage your dog from urinating or defecating in the same spot again.
Consistency and positive reinforcement of the desired behaviour really can go a long way when it comes to housetraining habits.
Bundle up and enjoy the winter season with your furry friend!


As if my life isn’t stressful enough, my husband brought home a puppy twelve days ago. A puppy!
I am not a dog person. At all. And we already have four cats. As much as I love cats, they’re already driving me nuts wanting in and out of my room all hours of the night. Especially Bellamy since his injury–he just likes to let me know how unhappy he is that we won’t let him outside anymore.
Now we have a dog. And guess who gets to take care of her?
My husband works 3am – 2pm (with commute). The dog wakes up when he does and just barks and whines so I’m also up at 3am every day to watch her. All of the kids that wanted a dog so desperately have pretty much given up helping. The first weekend we had her, all four of them took off, leaving me and Jack to take care of the dog. Jack is terrified of all dogs. He’s a cat person, like me.
I knew this would happen which is why I’ve said no to a dog all of these years. Five kids, four cats… I have enough to deal with.
My sleep schedule is a mess between getting up with the dog and the cats waking me every hour like clockwork. It’s like having a newborn in the house but with the destruction of a toddler. Actually, I didn’t even have to work this hard when I actually had toddlers. Three of them at one time. Ugh.
Anyway, the puppy is a husky/German shepherd mix. Seriously. Of all the dogs to get. Our house is not big enough for a German shepherd. We have almost no backyard. Oy.
(back when her ears were still floppy)
She is cute, though. We named her Ella (short for Marvella that the girls wanted and the rest of us hated). She’s around twelve weeks old now. She’s very bitey. Like you can’t put your hands anywhere near her face or the ground or she’ll bite. We’re working on that.
She’s really smart, though, and learns fast. The first day, I refused to let her out of her crate until she sat down. By the third day, she started sitting on command. That was without the clicker training. I started using that a couple days ago when we’re up at 3am.
We’re working on “down” so she’ll stop jumping on everyone. It took her about fifteen minutes to figure it out. Of course, now she wants to jump on me, hoping I’ll say down and give her a treat. She does understand the command, though, and will get down if you tell her.
Most of the time.
She’s like my kids and listens when she wants to.
Of course, because I’m the one that spends all morning with her and am training her, I’ve become the leader of her pack. She follows me everywhere and whines if I leave the room. Everyone else gets frustrated because she listens to me but not them.
(and now her ears are up… except for the wonky one which was like that when they were floppy)
The funny thing is I know nothing about training dogs. I’ve never had a dog, but I have kids. I basically just used all the knowledge I learned raising toddlers to deal with her. So far, it’s working. She definitely behaves better when I’m around. Jack will even stay in the living room if I’m around to keep her under control.
The cats are a different story. They’re pissed they no longer have free range of the house. Although, Lilah keeps getting closer and closer. She sits in the hallway and watches from behind the safety of the baby gate. She gets a little closer every day.
(Jack taking Ella for a walk on the trail… he may have a slight obsession with Five Nights at Freddy’s)


While most are relatively easy to care for, rabbits do have specific housing and health needs. There are a variety of breeds that tend to have different temperaments, so it is important that you choose one that will get along well with your family.
As you consider adopting a rabbit there is a lot to think about, both for your family and to make sure your new friend has what he needs to be healthy and happy.
What is Your Family Like?
First, consider your family. What are the ages of your family members and what kind of lifestyle do they lead? Rabbits can be good pets for children, but if you have a toddler be ready to supervise her interaction with the new pet. Toddlers are tempted to tightly hold and snuggle rabbits, which can make them feel uncomfortable and scared, which isn’t a good scenario for the pet or the child. Continue reading


Pet insurance offers financial aid to pet owners for qualified veterinary expenditures incurred by their pet needing to be treated for incidental disease or accidental harm. More than 60 percent of Australians live with an animal, according to the Animal Health Alliance. Many have insurance, many don’t, but if you are one of those without it consider whether you could pay tomorrow for an emergency surgery bill in the thousands.
You may consider pets as part of the family. After all, cats and dogs make excellent friends for us humans. But they can be expensive. You have to take into consideration the price of veterinary appointments, along with food, toys, treatments and accessories.
Pet Insurance providers usually offer a number of different levels of coverage for medical costs for you to pick from according to your requirements.
A wide range of vet costs for illnesses and accidents will be covered. Some pet health plans offer dental coverage too. However, your pet’s existing medical conditions usually won’t be covered. This may also be the case with genetic and congenital diseases when it comes to some pet insurance. Why are claims for pre-existing conditions not covered? This helps to keep all insurance customers covered fairly.
However, other ailments can be healed – they are not long term health issues. For adopted pets, only your pet’s veterinarian’s history is required. If you have had your pet since birth or close to it your pet insurance provider expects you to be honest about your pet’s history.
For many pet insurance providers, the pets must be above 8 weeks of age and less than nine years old to receive extensive medical coverage. Most cats and dogs can get some kind of insurance coverage if their parents apply for insurance when their pet is under the age of 12 years.
Cats and dogs that are designated as hazardous, banned or restricted by the state or territory shall not be covered.
No cat or dog is the same as any other, as all pet owners will certainly agree. In their ways, they are all unique. Therefore, pet insurance offers a wide variety of pet owners coverage alternatives so they can select the best pet insurance policy for their particular cat or dog. The wellness of the animal and its future potential medical needs are top priorities when making this decision.
Vet charges may sometimes be expensive, particularly with a serious disease for your cat. Dog or cat insurance will help you obtain quality medical care without delay. You might feel quite comfortable in such situations if you know dog insurance supports you for treatment when your pet needs it most.


Happy National Cat Day!!
How could I let this day pass and not write a post about my little Holly. I adopted Holly about 3 weeks after I was out of college and living alone in my first apartment 2 hours from home. Ever since then, she has been my little buddy and best friend. Yes, she can be psychotic at times, and runs around for no reason at about 3:00 in the morning, but she is such a special little cat.
The day I adopted her, I went to a woman’s house in Swampscott because she was fostering a new litter of kittens on behalf of Friend’s of Marblehead’s Abandoned Animal Shelter. ( A no-kill non-profit animal shelter). When I reached the room there was two twin beds, where the kittens were all curled up on one of the beds. I sat down on the other one, and instantly, Holly jumped from the bed with the kittens on it, and jumped up into my lap. The woman came in and said, “She’s the friendly one of the litter, and the friendliest kitten I have seen in the 4 years I have been fostering kittens.”
I just knew this was my cat. I didn’t pick her, she chose me, and I am thankful every day for her decision.

The fire alarm in my house kept going off for no apparent reason the other night (that’s not the part that amused me). This happened once before, on President’s Day when I was home from work, and this time, like that time, it turned out to be nothing. But also like last time, my landlords had to call the fire department. So while Chris and our upstairs neighbor Heather and I were waiting outside, we saw this woman stroll through the backyard with…a cat on a leash.
I can’t decide what the weirdest part is:
-She walks her cat on a leash
-She walks her cat on a leash through other people’s backyards
-She walks her cat on a leash through other people’s backyards in the middle of the night
-She said to us, as if there was nothing weird about it, “Hi! I’m just walking my cat.”
Of course, I have never had a cat, so maybe I’m the one out of the loop and it’s perfectly normal to waltz through other people’s backyards at night with a feline on a leash. Let me know if it is, okay?


An October ringworm outbreak at the shelter has left eighteen of our twenty-one adoptable pets infected. Infected pets include:
Alameda Adriano (adopted after infection) Acosta Aguafria SilverBelle ChiangMai Siobhan Wasabe Lambert Fantasia Doolittle Melinda Six unnamed leMutte puppies
This leaves only Cupid (who is on “longtimers discount”), Surat (currently on “adoption pending”), and Zorro uninfected.
All of these pets (except, of course, Adriano, since he’s already with his new owner) entered treatment on Monday, November 1.
It is important to understand that ringworm is nothing to be afraid of. It is, in fact, even less serious of an infection than athlete’s foot or those mushrooms in your lawn. Stay tuned for a blog about ringworm and why it’s nothing to fear.
Three cats and a dog were adopted: Slinky on Tuesday 11/2, Cavil on Wednesday 11/3, Chili on Friday 11/5, and Adriano on Saturday 11/6. Wish them long, happy lives with their new owners!

Poor Abbicus came to Liberty Humane as a stray. At first, he had a very hard time adjusting to shelter life. He was so scared and stressed that he refused to eat and the staff had to hand feed him. All of a sudden one day, Abbicus perked up and began eating! It was like he woke up and decided that he was going to adjust to shelter life so that he could find a nice forever home. Since then, he has become one of our most affectionate cats. He loves the company of other cats and people alike.
Abbicus is also a true teenage kitten. At one-year old, he has A LOT of energy and will play for hours with anything you put in his cage – balls, cardboard toilet paper rolls, fake mice, etc.
He is currently one of our lobby cats which means that he actually enjoys the crazy hustle and bustle of the front lobby. If you come visit him, you’ll see him solicit your attention from across the room. Open up his cage and you’ll be sure to have his head in your hand looking for chin scratches.
To adopt Abbicus, visit:
Dundee is a truly happy-go-lucky pooch! He absolutely loves everyone he meets! Once people see those huge ears and wide grin, they fall in love with him too.
Dundee is just outstanding when it comes to learning commands! He very easily picked up sit, stay and shake. Since he first came to Liberty Humane in December, he has grown from a rambunctious puppy to a young dog with manners. In addition to all of the commends he’s learned, he also now walks appropriately on a leash and patiently sits and waits for treats when you approach his cage. Since he’s a very quick learner and a people pleaser, we’re sure that he will continue to excel once he’s in his forever home.
While he does love to play and learn, he also enjoys relaxing with his special people. If you get the lucky chance to cuddle up with him, he will let out a whimper and a sign of contentment. He will even stretch out across your lap if you let him.
Dundee is dog-selective when it comes to meeting new friends. Therefore, introductions should be made slowly as not every dog will be an ideal playmate for him. Due to this, he would not be an ideal candidate for a romp around the public dog parks.
To adopt Dundee, visit:
