Whenever I meet people I’m really happy to tell them what I use and why, which in my opinion, is what every professional should want to do – even if the tools they choose to use are aversive.
The owner should always be aware of what you are doing and why what you are doing achieves (or should do) results. The first thing that usually gets fired back at me when I say I used food is ‘I don’t want to bribe my dog’ and my reply is always the same – ‘great, we’re on the same page then’.
Firstly, we should take into account what dogs would be doing if we were not in the picture. A recent study suggested that as much as 90% of a feral dog’s waking day is spent in search of food. So for me, it just makes complete sense to use their food to train them. And when I say train them I mean teach them how to act appropriately in society. Some of you may know that I actually do not own a dog bowl and to be honest I probably never will.
The biggest misconception about reward based training is that it only works with bribes and treats. Firstly we need to figure out the difference between a bribe and a reward. A bribe comes before an offered behaviour, and a reward comes after an offered behaviour. So shaking some treats to get your dog to come back would be a bribe whereas asking your dog to come back and then offering them a treat would be a reward. Arguably you do bribe puppies initially with some lure and reward type training but that can be phased out within the first session and it creates a clear communication system that we can both understand.
This is something I really want to stress – a reward doesn’t have to be a special treat. I use the dog’s daily allowance of kibble and a lot of the time I just condition them to do things without saying or asking them to do anything. I leave kibble around the house and whenever I see the dog doing something I like ie lying down calmly, I’ll simply toss them a piece of kibble. If they then get up and try to mug me for the food I’ll just ignore them and wait for them to do something else I prefer. There is no bribing involved at all I simply capture a behaviour and reward that behaviour, therefore increasing the likelihood of it happening again.
Food is the easiest to use so that’s why I recommend owners to start with that. Toys can also be huge rewards for some dogs, especially your collies, rotties, huskies, German shepherds, or any working type/active dog. Sometimes toys will trump food too, so in that case you won’t even need to use food.
And then we have life rewards – running off leash, playing with other dogs, sniffing bushes, chasing birds, digging holes, swimming in the sea and so on. All a reward is to your dog is something they enjoy doing. They decide what’s a reward not us. What you will find is life rewards are the dog’s biggest reinforcers. So trying to give your dog a piece of kibble in replacement of running around with other dogs just won’t work – even if you try bribing them.
This is how positive reinforcement can work: How many dogs sit to get their meal? I’m guessing most will do. How many dogs will pull to get to the park? A lot I’m guessing. For some reason we are so insistent on dogs sitting before they get their meal but we let them act like complete loonies to get to the park. It’s crazy! If your dog is jumping around, pulling on the lead, biting your trousers would you give them their dinner? Absolutely not! But why do we then let our dogs do that to get to the park? We positively reinforce the behaviours we really don’t want with the biggest rewards possible – you end up adding a positive outcome to pulling on the leash, barking at other dogs and lunging if you simply let them off leash when they do this. And for the people that tell me positive reinforcement doesn’t work for their dogs, it does, but probably for all the wrong reasons.
The phasing out stage is usually where people go wrong. They simply don’t phase the rewards (more specifically food) out. That’s why you get dogs doing things only if food is involved. We need to become like casinos not vending machines. Casinos are so effective at ‘training’ people to come back because you never know if you’re going to hit the big time but there’s a slight possibility you will. If a vending machine doesn’t give you what you want straight away you will leave and probably never go back (until it’s fixed). Yet how often do people go back to casinos even if they don’t win anything previously?
If you find reward based training isn’t working for you, that doesn’t mean ‘positive reinforcement’ doesn’t work. I am useless at maths and if I can’t get the answer I’m looking for using proven methods does that mean maths doesn’t work or I should be doing something different?

Remember Tender Vittles brand cat food? It was a revolutionary feat of marketing…cat food that bridged the gap between wet, canned food and dry, bagged food. I didn’t think about it until now, but vittles (properly spelled victuals) means “food fit for human consumption”. Was the real purpose of the product to deliver low-cost, low-quality food to humans? It seems crazy. On the other hand, the product was discontinued in 2007 because it contained levels of sugar too unhealthy for cats. That’s what I read in wikipedia, anyway.
The following item description seems to disagree.
Tender Vittles® contains no added artificial colors or flavors, additives your cat doesn’t need. Plus, it has the great taste your cat loves. So you’ll love knowing that your cat is getting only the essential nutrients he needs, and he’ll love every delicious bite.
When it comes to convenience, you can’t beat our easy-serve pouch. It’s a cinch to open and pour and it keeps those delicious, soft morsels moist and tasty so your cat will enjoy every yummy bite from the first to the last.
With Tender Vittles, you simply tear open our easy-serve pouch and pour the tender morsels right in the bowl. It’s fast and easy for you and moist and delicious for your cat.
With regret we must announce that Tender Vittles have been discontinued by Nestle-Purina. Once our stock is gone we will no longer have them available for sale.
Even when I was a kid, I was suspicious of the Purina brand because it made both pet food and breakfast cereal.


Happy Friday! Did you know that today is national, “Take Your Dog to Work Day”? For the past several months, I have been very fortunate to work out of my home office; and every day my dogs are at work with me. Their presence has been an extremely positive addition in my work environment 😊!
As an animal lover, I think this national day of recognition is pretty awesome and thought I would share with you some of the benefits of having these furry friends in your life.
According to the CDC and WebMD, studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets can increase fitness, lower stress, and bring happiness to their owners. Some of the health benefits of having a pet include:
Decreased blood pressure
Decreased cholesterol levels
Decreased triglyceride levels
Decreased feelings of loneliness
Increased opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities
Increased opportunities for socialization (pets are a natural conversation starter) 😊
Decreased depression and anxiety, and a
Decreased risk of allergies and asthma
There are so many benefits to having a pet in your life; whether the animal is your own or one you have the opportunity to interact with regularly. Even if you don’t have a pet of your own, there are many ways to encounter animals in your community and experience some of these amazing health benefits. Here are some ideas: visit your local shelter or attend a shelter sponsored event and play with some of the adorable adoptable animals, go to the dog park, or visit a friend or family member who has a pet you enjoy.
Animals love us unconditionally and provide us with so many benefits. This weekend, make it a point to spend time with your favorite furry (or feathered or scaly 😊; whatever suits your fancy) friend and get a little boost to your health and an infusion of joy in your soul!
Have a GREAT day and a GREAT weekend!


Dog Conduct Training Selecting A Good Family DogDogs are educated via instructions. That is to say, the achievement of canine obedience coaching is dependent on your dog's capability to properly react to commands. The subsequent basic commands are important initial actions when starting to teach your canine in obedience skills.
Each time she masters a cue, dole out a treat and give her a thumbs-up sign. Smile. Alva is looking for visual signs as acceptance from you. Build on every success and be patient. Even deaf dogs are able of studying dozens of indicators and recognizing the difference in your ask for for a ball or the leash.
Another collar that employs the use of electrical energy is the no bark collar. Again this collar is effective, but before you use it you ought to determine the cause of the canines barking. Make sure you haven't taught him to bark and inquire yourself if you really want him to punish him for it.
This in turn prospects towards behavior issues this kind of as barking and chewing. Rather of stopping training, it is important that an proprietor spends a couple of times each week with canine obedience coaching. This will not only strengthen the set up training but it will also give the canine something to do and will prevent many issues caused by boredom or under stimulation, this kind of as chewing. If your dog has some behavior issues, it is time to start dog obedience coaching, whether it is for the first time or once more. The first step is to re-establish these home rules that your canine might have damaged. Don't permit your canine on the furnishings and correct him when he is begging.
The dog training insurance - http://www.dailymail.co.uk - guide you purchase should be 1 that you appreciate.

Your dog can easily choose up on your temper so if you are dreading your every day training session, your canine will give you a hard time as he or she knows you do not want to be with him.
If it appears to her like you believe she is got a genuine reason to be worried/afraid and if you respond with comforting phrases and calming pats, that is how it will arrive across+then she will be more frightened. Not less. So in this situation, you require to ignore the whining outright. You don't have to molly-coddle her, instead distract her with perform, or run via a fast obedience schedule. Induce her into considering about some thing else.
There are numerous advantages to canine training bootcamps. First, dog proprietors who comprehend the requirements of canines and owners run many of these dog coaching bootcamps. Second, most canine proprietors are looking for some thing to do with their canines than using them to the park for a walk. 3rd, many of these dog coaching bootcamps are significantly less expensive than most fitness center memberships. Fourth, each people and canines advantage from the workouts. Since most canines have a tendency to have higher power, most owners who participate in these canine coaching bootcamps have a tendency to try very hard to maintain up with them. These produce a great exercise not only for you but also for you canine as well. Fifth, your canine will benefit from the coaching and discover to behave much better.


Shandra Baker, author of Dog Food Dangers, shares with us today some vital information on how your dog can be suffering with gluten allergies and what you can do about it.
Gluten allergy, medically described as celiac disease, is a fairly common food allergy in Chihuahua as well as any other canine. Â It can develop at any point in a dog’s life and manifests a variety of symptoms, including skin and bowel problems.
After diagnosis, a lifelong change in diet is usually required to treat the condition.
But what is GLUTEN?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat and many other flours that’s often added to commercial pet food. Chihuahuas andÂ otherÂ dogs, like humans and other animals, can develop a sensitivity or allergy to it if through repeat exposure or as an acute reaction to a single exposure.
Gluten allergy causes the inflammation and destruction of the interior of the small intestine, thus preventing nutrients and vitamins from being properly absorbed. Â Moreover, gluten irritates the large intestine, causing colitis, which results in bowel problems. Food allergies at large account for about 10 percent of dog allergies.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
Symptoms of gluten allergy include itchy, flaky, and subsequently irritated skin as well as upset bowels. Â Other symptoms include hypertension, weight loss, lack of energy and changes in behavior. In the past, the only way to diagnose a food allergy was to replace the existing diet with one containing none of the same ingredients. Today, a simple blood test can indicate an allergy, although the exclusion diet is still widely employed.
WHAT TO DO?
Gluten is ubiquitous in processed pet food and treats and is sometimes omitted from listing on ingredient labels because of its implicit presence in other substances (this includes wheat, cereals and products of animal or vegetable origin). As such, foods explicitly labeled gluten free or homemade meals are the best option for dogs with gluten allergy.
A true allergy cannot but cured, thus the allergen must be removed from the animal’s diet and avoided. A lifelong food can gradually become an irritant or even an allergy over time, thus making initial diagnosis difficult. While a homemade food is the best option for pet owners, there are many varieties of gluten-free diets, although getting a Chihuahua to change foods can be difficult.
Other common food allergies in dogs include corn, soya, preservatives, beef, pork, chicken, milk, eggs and fish.

People have turned to the professional groomers at Von Shrado since the summer of 1996 to transform their pups. Owned by Jim and Sandy Hann, they treat other people’s animals as family. After all, they’re big animal lovers, and it shows in the quality of work provided. So, if your dog needs some pampering, this is the place to go.
A Stellar Background
The best way to rate a business is to look at the background of the people who own and operate it. Along with history, you want to consider their integrity. Jim and Sandy Hann are the real deal. They married in 1958, followed by having two daughters and one son. That led to six grandchildren, as well as 10 great-grandchildren. Retired from the United States Air Force, they proudly provide superior grooming services in the same way they served the country.
Here’s an interesting note. The name of the business, Von Shrado, wasn’t by chance. Rather, the couple used the first names of their children to come up with something unique. Then they capitalized the first two letters. So the name Von Shrado came from SHeryl, RAndy, and DOnna.
Outstanding Grooming Services
As someone who loves their pet, you want your dog to look beautiful but, even more importantly, have a positive grooming experience. Unfortunately, many businesses in the industry fall short of expectations and standards. That’s not the case with this Pikeville, North Carolina, business.
After all, Jim and Sandy Hann love animals just as much as you do. Their goal is to have your pup arrive and leave the facility happy. Along with a full line of grooming techniques, they pamper a broad range of breeds. A few examples include Poodles, Yorkies, Cocker Spaniels, and Schnauzers.

Although Von Shrado specializes in grooming, that’s not the only service provided. They also have years of experience providing boarding services to dogs and cats. Again, they maintain a wonderful facility that’s clean, comfortable, and safe.
In addition, they keep their prices competitive. Even so, they feed all boarded pets Kal-Kan Pedigree Mealtime food mixed with Kal-Kan Meat and warm water. Now, you can bring your dog’s favorite food if preferred.
As for cats, you know how picky they are. They request you bring the food your pet likes the best. However, you don’t need to worry about litter as that’s supplied.
For cats and dogs, feel free to bring the blanket they like to cuddle up in and any favorite toys. Moreover, be sure it has a rubber backing to prevent it from sliding off the bed. That’s right; your pup will sleep in a comfy bed.
Simply put, you won’t have any concerns about leaving your dog in the hands of the groomer or boarding your cat or dog. That’s because you can always trust the entire staff at Von Shrado.

Hi, my name is Shiloh. The folks here are guessing I have some hound or cattle dog in my mix. I am a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, always have my tail wagging and am pleased to see you.
I am 3 years old and medium size, so I would be perfect for car rides or outdoor adventures. I am over the young puppy phase and looking for a family to show me the ropes of home living. I have met a few other dogs, and I seem to enjoy their company, so I wouldn’t mind sharing my space.
Please stop by the shelter to meet me to see if I might be your match!

We are a nation of dog lovers for sure, we take great pleasure in spending time with our four legged friends, they are our companions and we love to spoil them, whether it be with their favourite snack or a new accessory. One of the top accessories has to be the dog collar, which is not only functional but can be a fashion statement too. There are 100’s of different styles to choose from but of course here at Crystal Parade it has got to be a rhinestone encrusted collar and why not!? Style icons from Elton John to Dolly Parton embrace the glamour of all things bling, so if it’s good enough for Elton it has to be good enough for your pampered pooch.
How about blinging your pooch’s collar?
The number of crystals you will need depends on the size of the collar. For a small dog collar we recommend that you use 4 packs of our Preciosa statement mixes, the pack contains a mix of crystals in varying sizes from SS16 (4mm) to SS34 (7mm). They are available in a great choice of colours, Purple Rain, Gold Rush, Emerald City, Peacock, Romance and Midnight Sky just to name a few. When crystallizing your dog's collar, whatever fabric it is made of, we recommend that you use E6000 plus as it has industrial strength and is flexible. If your dog collar is made of leather we recommend that you lightly rub the leather with sandpaper to make the surface slightly rough, this will give the E6000 glue a good surface to adhere to. Put a few dots of glue at a time on the collar and then place your crystals on top of the small dots, when picking up the crystals it is best to use a pick up pencil. It really is easy and fun to crystallize your canine accessories, and what a great gift it would make for a fellow dog lover!

I've been volunteering at a SPA (Société Protectrice des Animaux) shelter next to where I live since early 2017. I'm very passionate about animals and their well being, and working at this dog shelter has truly brought me so much happiness and knowledge about these kind creatures.
I go there at least one day a week, to walk the dogs to the park, play with them and help with the adoption process. I even fostered some puppies a few times.
I love taking pictures of the rescued dogs to spread them around social medias, it has really been helpful to give them some visibility and to get them adopted quicker. It fills me with so much joy every time one of our baby finds its forever family. Taking pictures of them is also a great way to make memories because we get so attached to them and we sometimes miss them a lot. I have also been taking pictures any times the shelter has an event.
Taking photos of pets is much harder than it looks, but also the funniest thing ever. I feel so blessed to meet so many beautiful and quirky animals, and anything I can do to make them happier makes me the happiest !


CBD, or cannabidiol, has emerged as a prominent topic in veterinary medicine due to its potential therapeutic benefits for various ailments in cats. Derived from the cannabis plant, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that has gained significant attention for its potential to support feline health and well-being. As more pet owners seek natural alternatives for their cats’ ailments, CBD has become increasingly popular in veterinary circles.
Understanding the Potential Benefits: CBD offers a range of potential benefits for cats, making it a subject of great interest among cat owners and veterinarians alike. Research suggests that CBD may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, and antiemetic properties. These properties make it a potential option for managing conditions such as anxiety, arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and more. It’s important to note that while CBD shows promise, research in the field of veterinary CBD is still evolving, and further studies are needed to validate these claims.
Considerations for Administering CBD to Cats: Administering CBD to cats requires careful consideration and consultation with a veterinarian. Cats, like humans and other animals, possess unique physiological differences that may impact how they metabolize and respond to CBD. Factors such as age, weight, overall health, and any pre-existing medical conditions should be taken into account when considering CBD as a supplement for cats.
Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that the CBD product intended for feline use is specifically formulated for cats. Human CBD products or those designed for other animals may contain ingredients or concentrations unsuitable for feline consumption. Therefore, it is essential to choose high-quality CBD products specifically labeled for cats and consult with a knowledgeable veterinarian for guidance.
Furthermore, it is vital to be aware of potential side effects and drug interactions. While CBD is generally well-tolerated in cats, individual variations may occur. Common side effects may include drowsiness, gastrointestinal upset, or changes in appetite. Additionally, CBD may interact with certain medications, so it is crucial to inform your veterinarian about any medications your cat is currently taking.
Is it OK to Give Cats CBD?
When considering the use of CBD for cats, it is natural for pet owners to have concerns about safety and potential risks. Understanding the general safety of CBD for cats based on current research is crucial before introducing it as a supplement. Here, we will explore key aspects related to the safety of CBD for feline consumption.
Current Research and Safety:
The existing body of research on CBD’s safety for cats is limited but growing. While CBD has shown promise in various aspects of feline health, it is important to note that the research is still in its early stages. However, available studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that CBD is generally well-tolerated by cats when administered in appropriate doses.
Consulting with a Veterinarian:
Consulting with a veterinarian is paramount before giving CBD to a cat. Veterinarians play a crucial role in guiding pet owners through the decision-making process and ensuring the well-being of feline patients. They possess the expertise to assess your cat’s individual health status, potential interactions with existing medications, and recommend appropriate CBD products and dosages.
Individual Considerations and Risks:
While CBD is generally considered safe for cats, it is important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Cats may exhibit individual variations in their response to CBD, and some cats may be more sensitive than others. Common side effects may include drowsiness, mild gastrointestinal upset, or changes in appetite. These effects are typically mild and temporary, but it is essential to monitor your cat closely when introducing CBD.
Another consideration is the potential for low-quality or improperly labeled CBD products in the market. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of CBD for your cat, it is crucial to choose reputable manufacturers that provide detailed product information and third-party lab testing results. These measures help verify the purity, potency, and absence of contaminants in the CBD product you intend to administer to your cat.
Additionally, it is important to note that THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, should be avoided in feline CBD products. THC can be toxic to cats and may lead to adverse effects. Always select CBD products labeled as THC-free or broad-spectrum, ensuring they contain only non-psychoactive CBD.
How Will CBD Affect My Cat?
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in cats, a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that plays a vital role in maintaining balance and homeostasis within the body. By interacting with the ECS, CBD may have various effects that could contribute to a cat’s overall well-being.
Anxiety and Stress:
CBD has shown potential in helping cats manage anxiety and stress-related behaviors. It may influence serotonin receptors in the brain, which could promote relaxation and a sense of calmness. This could be particularly beneficial for cats that experience anxiety due to separation, loud noises, or changes in their environment.
Pain and Inflammation:
CBD’s potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties make it an option for managing pain and inflammation in cats. It may help alleviate discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and inflammatory bowel disease. By targeting specific receptors involved in pain signaling, CBD may provide relief and potentially improve a cat’s overall mobility and comfort.
Seizures and Epilepsy:
CBD has gained attention for its potential effects in cats with seizures and epilepsy. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, CBD’s interaction with the ECS and its modulation of neuronal activity may play a role in reducing seizure frequency and severity. It is important to note that in cases of epilepsy, CBD should always be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.
CBD’s influence on gastrointestinal function has led to its exploration for managing digestive issues in cats. It may potentially regulate appetite, reduce nausea, and promote digestive health. CBD’s interaction with ECS receptors in the digestive system could potentially alleviate symptoms related to gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome.
Other Potential Benefits:
CBD is being studied for its potential benefits in areas such as immune system regulation, skin health, and cognitive function in aging cats. However, further research is needed to establish definitive evidence in these areas.
Where Do You Put CBD Oil on a Cat?
Proper administration of CBD oil is essential to ensure your cat receives the intended benefits. Understanding the different methods of administering CBD oil, along with helpful tips and techniques, can make the process smoother for both you and your feline companion.
One common method of giving CBD oil to cats is through oral administration. This involves placing the CBD oil directly into your cat’s mouth. Here’s a step-by-step guide for oral administration:
- Choose a suitable CBD oil: Select a high-quality CBD oil specifically formulated for cats. Ensure it contains a concentration appropriate for your cat’s weight and consult with a veterinarian if needed.
- Start with a low dosage: Begin with a low dose, gradually increasing it as needed. Follow the product’s dosage guidelines or your veterinarian’s recommendations.
- Prepare the CBD oil: Shake the CBD oil bottle well before use. Use the provided dropper or a clean, designated dropper to measure the desired dosage accurately.
- Administer the CBD oil: Gently hold your cat, either by cradling them or using a towel to wrap them securely. Carefully place the dropper between your cat’s cheek and gums, aiming toward the back of the mouth. Slowly dispense the CBD oil, allowing your cat to swallow naturally. Be patient and calm during the process to minimize stress.
In certain cases, topical application of CBD oil may be appropriate for cats. This method involves applying the CBD oil directly to the skin. However, it’s important to note that cats may be more sensitive to topical products compared to dogs. Consult with a veterinarian before using topical CBD oil on your cat.
- Select a suitable CBD topical: Choose a CBD oil product specifically formulated for topical use on cats. Look for products with high-quality ingredients and avoid those containing any potential irritants.
- Identify the target area: Determine the area where your cat may benefit from CBD oil application. This could be a localized area of discomfort or inflammation, such as sore joints or irritated skin.
- Prepare the CBD oil: If the CBD oil is in a dropper bottle, dispense a small amount onto a clean fingertip or a cotton swab. If the CBD oil is in a cream or balm form, follow the product’s instructions for application.
- Apply the CBD oil: Gently rub the CBD oil onto the target area, using gentle circular motions. Be mindful of your cat’s comfort and adjust the pressure as needed. Observe your cat’s response and discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.
Tips and Techniques:
- Introduce CBD oil gradually: Start with a low dosage and observe your cat’s response. Increase the dosage slowly over time, if necessary, while monitoring for any adverse effects.
- Be patient and calm: Create a calm and soothing environment during CBD administration to minimize stress for your cat. Use positive reinforcement and rewards to help make the experience more pleasant.
- Monitor your cat’s response: Pay close attention to your cat’s behavior and any changes in their condition after administering CBD oil. This will help you gauge the effectiveness of the product and determine the appropriate dosage.
- Consult with a veterinarian: It is crucial to consult with a veterinarian before giving CBD oil to your cat. They can provide guidance on dosage, administration methods, and address any specific concerns related to your cat’s health.
How Much CBD Should I Give a Cat?
Dosing CBD correctly for cats is crucial to ensure their safety and maximize the potential benefits. Determining the appropriate CBD dosage requires considering various factors specific to your cat’s needs, weight, and overall health. Here’s what you need to know about CBD dosing for cats:
Importance of Correct Dosing: Administering the correct CBD dosage is essential to avoid potential adverse effects and to achieve the desired therapeutic benefits. Giving too little CBD may not provide the desired effects, while giving too much could lead to unwanted side effects. It is crucial to find the right balance by dosing CBD accurately.
Factors Influencing CBD Dosage: Several factors contribute to determining the appropriate CBD dosage for your cat. These factors may include:
- Weight: The weight of your cat plays a role in CBD dosing. Generally, a higher weight may require a higher CBD dosage, while a lower weight may necessitate a lower dosage.
- Overall Health: The overall health of your cat should be considered when determining the CBD dosage. Cats with certain health conditions or sensitivities may require lower doses or closer monitoring.
- Desired Effects: The specific condition or symptoms you aim to address with CBD can impact the dosage. Some conditions may require higher doses, while others may respond to lower doses.
General Dosage Range: While it’s essential to consult with a veterinarian for personalized advice, a general CBD dosage range based on expert recommendations and scientific studies can provide a starting point. It is important to note that these dosage ranges are approximate and may need adjustment depending on your cat’s response and specific circumstances.
- Low Dosage: Start with a low CBD dosage of around 0.1-0.25 mg per pound of body weight. This dosage range is often recommended for general wellness support and mild symptoms.
- Medium Dosage: A moderate CBD dosage of around 0.25-0.5 mg per pound of body weight may be appropriate for managing conditions such as anxiety or mild pain.
- High Dosage: Higher CBD dosages of around 0.5-0.75 mg per pound of body weight may be required for more severe symptoms or specific health conditions. However, these dosages should be determined in consultation with a veterinarian.
Importance of Individualized Dosing: Every cat is unique, and their response to CBD can vary. Individualized dosing is crucial to find the optimal CBD dosage for your cat. It is recommended to start with a low dosage and gradually increase it as needed while closely observing your cat’s response. This gradual approach allows you to monitor their tolerance and adjust the dosage accordingly.
Consulting with a Veterinarian: To determine the most appropriate CBD dosage for your cat, consulting with a veterinarian is essential. They can consider your cat’s specific needs, health history, and any potential interactions with other medications. A veterinarian’s expertise and guidance ensure that your cat receives safe and effective CBD dosing.
In conclusion, CBD for cats holds potential as a supplement to support their well-being. Throughout this article, we have covered important aspects related to CBD use in cats. Let’s recap the key points:
- CBD interacts with the feline endocannabinoid system, potentially offering therapeutic effects that can positively influence a cat’s well-being.
- CBD may help manage conditions such as anxiety, pain, inflammation, seizures, and digestive issues in cats. However, further research is needed to establish definitive evidence in these areas.
- Proper administration of CBD is crucial. Whether administering CBD oil orally or topically, it is important to follow recommended dosage guidelines and consult with a veterinarian for personalized advice.
- Factors such as a cat’s weight, overall health, and specific conditions play a role in determining the appropriate CBD dosage.
- Individualized dosing is necessary to find the optimal CBD dosage for each cat. Starting with a low dosage and gradually increasing it allows for careful monitoring and adjustment.
- Consultation with a veterinarian is paramount. Veterinarians possess the knowledge and expertise to guide cat owners through the decision-making process, provide tailored recommendations, and monitor their cat’s response to CBD.
As a responsible cat owner, it is important to approach CBD for your pet with care and responsible use. While CBD shows promise, it is not a cure-all solution, and results may vary among individual cats. Consulting with a veterinarian ensures that CBD is used appropriately for your cat’s specific needs and helps avoid potential interactions with other medications or health conditions.
Lastly, always choose high-quality CBD products specifically formulated for cats and follow proper administration techniques. By approaching CBD for cats with care, responsible use, and veterinary guidance, you can provide your feline companion with the potential benefits of CBD while prioritizing their well-being and overall health.

People treat pets like family. At least 90 percent of pet owners, in fact, say that they consider their beloved pooch or kitty to be a member of the family.
Considering that 68 percent of U.S. households are pet owners, it’s no surprise that pet custody is a growing concern in cases involving family law. If you’re going through a divorce and are wondering who gets to keep your furry friend, here are a few things to keep in mind regarding your pets.
The judge will likely treat your pet as property
Judges have no concrete standard in determining pet custody. When it comes to the division of property, they see pets like property and many courts award possession based on ownership rights.
Some courts, however, are beginning to acknowledge that kitty and doggy are special to their owners and that judges should not see them as mere property. They have even started implementing a “best interest” standard for pets like the one they use in child custody cases. They may consider the party that offers the majority of vet visits, basic needs, and social interactions.
While it seems cruel not to take into account the special bond owners have with their pet, using the best-interest approach can be a slippery slope from a legal perspective. The drawback of taking this route is that it will create a complicated custody system similar to what people have with children with animals.
It’s best for your pet to go with the kids
If a divorce involves children, pets should go with the young ones to establish a sense of continuity for the kids. The idea of separation can be tough on the little ones, and your furry friends can provide a form of security on what will likely be the most challenging times in a child’s life. If you are a pet owner and a parent, think about how your dog or cat helps your young ones cope and how taking your furry friend away can add to the trauma.
Pets can factor into spousal maintenance
Judges generally won’t require an individual to pay “pet support” in divorce since they are likely to treat animals as property. Pets, however, can factor into maintenance indirectly. If the court awards maintenance to one party, pet cost could translate as a living expense and will join the list of needs the court uses to figure out the maintenance amount.
It’s best to arrange pet custody out of court
Instead of leaving the fate of your furry friends at the hands of a judge, it’s best to undergo divorce mediation and come up with an agreement with your spouse regarding your pets. Many judges don’t want to handle arguments concerning pet custody. They have enough important stuff to tackle on their plate. On top of that, they may get annoyed when they have to listen to pet owners squabbling on who gets to see Fido and when.
These are the facts that you should know when it comes to pet custody. If you do end up allowing your spouse to keep your beloved doggy or kitty, remember that you always have the option to adopt another adorable animal in need of a new home.


ADOPTING A GREYHOUND
Greyhounds make wonderful pets. They are elegant, gentle, generally quiet, easy to have around and affectionate in a quiet way.
They lean on you a lot! Most people who get to know greyhounds are smitten for life!
Our rescue greyhounds come from the racing industry. Some have never raced as it is obvious early that they do not have what it takes.
Others have been successful racers and some have also been used for breeding. When they come into care they are de-sexed .. vaccinated and microchipped and placed with a foster carer.
Here they learn about the comforts of home and what being part of a family is all about. The foster carers also assess their personalities and behaviour patterns and give basic training as needed. We then seek the right forever home for each dog.
In the racing industry most do not experience being treated as pets but they quickly adapt and just love the pampered life.
Some do not know how to play or respond to people at first but once given affection and a bit of time they learn rapidly. Like all dogs each has his/her own personality and cute ways.
They get on well with most dogs. Many can be taught to live successfully with fluffy dogs .. cats or other small animals.
Some need to be placed in homes without such pets, but so do lots of dogs of other breeds. Obviously we choose the greyhound that will be suitable for the situation it will be living in.
As with bringing any new animal home .. careful controlled introductions over a period of time is the way to prevent accidents.
Totally inside cats are little problem with many dogs as the situation can be controlled. Cats can be put in a carry cage and the dog kept on a lead and allowed to sniff the cage.
Talk firmly and gently to the dog. These introductions should be brief at first so the cat does not get stressed.
When I bring a new greyhound home I always tether it to the leg of a heavy lounge chair so it can watch my cats walking around but not get at them.
I also keep a plastic muzzle on the dog at first for these introductions. Being willing to take your time to allow the animals to become familiar with the presence of their new housemates is the key.
The last new greyhound I took on to keep was over three years ago now. At first she was VERY interested in the cats and birds at my house .. but it only took just over two weeks of careful control for her to realize that they are family and there has never been the slightest problem.
Outside cats are a bit more difficult as a quick sprint across the open space of a back yard can stimulate the greyhounds chase instinct. Once again .. gradual introductions and control of the situation are vital.
Contrary to popular belief they do not need a lot of exercise. Greyhounds are built for short bursts of energy and lots of resting between.
They need a walk but 20-30 minutes is enough for most. They can heat stress easily so avoid taking them out in the heat of the day. They are not a dog to take jogging for kilometers!
They love going places .. rides in the car .. being with you and visiting interesting places.
They are usually very gentle with children but I never place timid dogs with young children.
They need to be allowed in the house and to be a part of the family. They are unhappy kept as outside only dogs.
Like any dog they need to be taught the rules of their new home. A firm NO and removing them from whatever you do not want them to do will teach them what is expected.
Also show them what you do want them to do and reward them when they are learning new skills. Be consistent.
Never let your greyhound off the lead outside your property. They get the breeze in their noses and you will not catch them!
Also they have absolutely no road sense. We do not recommend off-leash dog parks as injuries can occur-dogs have broken their legs running into trees or received wounds from other dogs.
Greyhounds have very fine skin that can tear easily .. if you do want to take your greyhound to a dog park you MUST have a muzzle on .. even if the dog is friendly with everything.
Current laws can mean a dog can be declared a problem just for threatening another dog .. chasing .. barking at it etc. If an owner chooses to report an even innocuous incident your dog could be in trouble. DO NOT TAKE THE RISK!
Grey hounds are quiet easy to have around .. loyal companions .. fun company and beautiful. Who could resist those liquid eyes gazing up at you? ENJOY.

Okay.. So I gave him many chances… I loved that duck.. He just refused to leave my chickens alone.. When I caught Ruth on top of Honey, who was stuck in between a chair and a wall, I threw in the towel. I could not have my duck raping my chickens! Ducks do not have the same anatomy that chickens do.. Therefore, if a male duck penetrates a female chicken, it can cause extensive damage/death. I was not risking that any longer..
Here is the last picture of Ruth, the day before I took him back to the breeder. Fortunately they have found him a good home as a pet duck. He will be much happier with his own species that he can mate freely.
The chickens seemed relieved that day.. I was even gifted with my first EIGHT egg day! Harriet laid her first egg, and boy was it BIG! 😀
When I brought Ruth back to Dave, he gladly exchanged him for a new (and hopefully female) khakki campbell duckling (age is under 2 months old). I also bought one of her hatch mates, and a protective chick that was the only chick in with four ducks and one goose. I thought it was a girl.. She was so dirty from the ducks.. I could have sworn it was a pullet..
Almost 100% sure that this is really a cockerel. Oh well.. He’s beautiful!
You can see his ducks in the background. They are HIS. He does not like to be separated from them. He protects them, preens them, finds them food.. He is already more of a man than Jagger is, and he is less than 2 months old!
We are naming him Carlton. If it is a girl (which I highly doubt), we will rename her Murtle.
Oh and in other news, Janet is broody! She has been sitting on eggs since early Saturday, and they are developing! 😀
She is such a good broody. She will not get out unless we force her, and when she does, she does everything very fast so she can get back to sitting on her precious babies ❤
Don’t you think Carlton will make a great mate for Janet in the future? (by the way, he is a partridge cochin)
The ducks – Bertha & Martha. Martha is much smaller, and loves to be cuddled. Boy are they loud compared to Macy! Shocking in comparison.. Right now they have full run of my mud room. It’s still pretty cold outside right now, and Martha & Carlton are not fully feathered. Bertha seems in perfect shape to go outside, but I am not doing that without the support of her brood-mates.
This weekend we are going to get our chicks! Can’t wait! 😀


Maybe it was because our previous dog was so near perfect. Maybe our expectations were just too high. But there are times our current dog just drives me nuts. And then there are other times I am filled with real love for this little guy.
The dog we had previous to this one was a blue heeler / border collie mix that we named Freckles. She didn’t live with us long, only 2 years, until unexpectedly she lost use of 75% of her kidneys and we had to put her to sleep. I took her death very hard, it was like losing a kid. She was by far one of the best dogs I’ve ever known. I was sure I’d never want another dog again.
So imagine my own surprise when I started working on my wife to get a dog just 2 years later. We had moved to a new town and had settled in some and I knew the kids would love a dog (and I would too!). Once I convinced my wife though, the question was, what kind of dog to get?
Well, I am allergic to various animals and some dogs can set me off (surprisingly Freckles never did). So we started looking for a hypo-allergenic dog and came across a lady selling Schnoodles. This is a mixture of a Schnauser and a Poodle.
We ended up picking out a little black male and took the kids with us to get him. Since I am a big Star Trek fan, we named the little guy Kirk.
Kirk is an extremely loving puppy. He seems to adore every member of the family and enjoys playing, cuddling and hanging out with each of us. At times he seems extremely intelligent too. He picked up the “Sit”, “Stay”, “Drop It”, “Down” comands very quickly.
But one thing we noticed fairly quickly is that he can almost be too needy. We think he might have some type of seperation anxiety which may be because during the work day he is home alone.
We have always kenneled him in the house because he adjusted well to it and our vet actually said to keep doing it now because his personality seems to indicate he would be destructive if left out of the kennel while we are at work or school. Fortunately we only have to kennel him 3 days a week, because I work from home one day and my kids go to a private school 4 days a week – with Friday off (my wife works there too).
The seperation anxiety seems to get really bad if anyone leaves the house – and I mean anyone. If someone comes to visit, when they leave, Kirk gets upset. If I take the trash out, he gets upset. For the most part if we are all outside, we take him with, but if one of us goes outside without him, the rest suffer in the house because he gets upset. This is shown in whining, barking, etc. He’ll usually calm down if the person leaves and actually left the area (gone to a store, etc) but if he can hear you outside, then all bets are off for the person who is inside with him.
Even when he is outside, he tends to spend a lot of the time barking at stuff. We have worked with him some on this and the barking/whining in the house and he seems to be getting better, but there are some days you just wonder what possessed you to get a dog!
And there are days like today. I came home, and he ran over to greet me. We’ve been working on making sure he doesn’t jump on you and he did very well with that, and then I greeted him and he was happy and went his merry way.
I then came downstairs to check some stuff on my computer and he came down with me. Normally he jumps into a chair beside me and goes to sleep. Today, he jumped into my lap, put his head on my arm and arm rest and went right to sleep almost as if he was saying, “This is where I wanted to be all day, I’m happy now.”
It’s times like that, that I remember how much I love the little guy. There is something wonderful about seeing that much affection coming out of a little furball like that. It kind of makes up for some of the things he does to drive me crazy.

Equine Osteopathy: Going Beyond Veterinary Medicine
Updated: Nov 9, 2020
Dr. Kimberly Rasmussen, a veterinarian and equine osteopath, said she always knew there was something more she could be doing for her patients.
“I didn’t know what, but I knew I was missing something,” she said.
Rasmussen graduated from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. During her years practicing veterinary medicine, her personal horse suffered from soreness in his back. She first prescribed a pain-relieving anti-inflammatory for the horse but saw little change in his health, she said. Wanting to avoid “putting a band aide” on the issue with steroid injections, she turned to acupuncture, she said.
“The acupuncture therapy seemed to provide some relief, but after 10 days he needed another treatment,” Rasmussen said.

Animal activists are worried over what appears to be a rash of dog thefts in the state.
In a KARK investigation last night we told you those activists and pet owners believe that stealing dogs is the newest way for criminals to make an easy buck.
The Pulaski County Humane Society says they used to receive half a dozen calls for lost pet inquiries every month but within the past six months, the numbers, they say, have skyrocketed to close to 100 calls per month.
The surest way to keep your dog safe is to keep them in your sight.
But if they do happen to take off, or worse are taken, technology could help: if it's already in place.
"I just love my animals," said Maria Drake, outside of Petco in Little Rock.
Any animal lover can vouch, losing a pet is heart wrenching.
"I'm worried I'll lose them, they're a part of me," Drake said.
But some vets say many people forgo one of the surest ways to keep their pets safe.
"I don't think we do nearly as many as we need to be doing," said Dr. Ronnie Roberson with Treasure Hill Animal Hospital in Little Rock.
Dr. Roberson says his office implants about 10 microchips every month. The technology is essentially a bar code that's easily implanted under a pet's skin and is tied to records of ownership.
If a lost dog is brought to a shelter or clinic, they can be scanned and the pet easily reunited with their owner.
But perhaps because of cost, upwards of $100, Dr. Roberson says many people opt against it.
"It just hasn't caught on like I thought it would. When this came out, I thought everyone is going to get chips put in and they don't," he said.
Dr. Roberson admits there's one big flaw: A thief may be hesitant to hand over a pet for scanning. We spoke with two women Sunday whose animals disappeared despite being micro-chipped.
Still, Dr. Roberson says, it could help.
"It's about the only weapon we have right now, so we don't have any choices," he said.
The chip doesn't physically track the animal and currently, no product offers a GPS implant, though certain collars available on the internet will map their movements and can even send updates to your phone
"I wish they would make something like that," said Pit Bull owner Alexis Higgs.
Higgs says if a more advanced tracking system could combat dog thieves, she'd be all for it, even willing to pay up.
"My lost dog is out there, I want to know where he is," Higgs said.
The other big piece of advice: really pound the pavement after your dog has gone missing.
Put up fliers, contact lost and found websites and shelters.

You might have probably heard about the most common animal hybrid between a female horse and a male donkeycalled a mule, but did you know there are more of these mixed animals? Though this kind of species and breeds crossing does not usually appear in nature, with the intervention of humans, we now have zonkeys, ligers, and Savannah cats.
These offsprings are typically infertile, with some exceptions such as the coywolf not to be confused with a wolf that is coythat is a mix of a coyote and a wolf and can further reproduce. Though the internet is full of photoshopped images of strange creatures, this list is full of absolutely real and amazing animals. What does the future hold, with advances in genetic engineering and cloning? Only time will tell! Keep reading to find out more about these weird animals.
Although there are rumors of wild Ligers, as far as we know, they exist only in captivity where they are deliberately bred. They grow to be very large very quickly, and are the biggest cats in the world. Hercules, the largest non-obese liger, is the largest living cat on Earth, weighing over kg lb. How far can you go? Did you know that Ligers and Tigons also reproduce? A variation of the aforementioned zebroid.
A rare combination. Another rare animal, as the offspring of goat and sheep pairings are usually stillborn.

We explore the key considerations you take into account before bringing a ferret into your family. Whilst Ferrets are amusing and adventurous pets, they require deceptively large amounts of care for such small creatures.Bmx serial number lookup
In particular, Ferrets require a large amount of time and training in order to prevent them easy to handle and to keep them out of mischief. Be sure to ask yourself these questions before you bring that furry ferret home.This Couple Can't Stop Adopting Ferrets - The Dodo
Ferrets require ample amounts of space and at least 2 hours of playtime outside of their cage each day. You will need to invest time in:. Ferrets are highly social animals and should ideally be kept in pairs or groups for their mental health.
However, this means you will go through food and other resources faster, adding to the cost of care. Ferrets can live until they are 10 years old, with the longest living ferret making it to the ripe old age of 13 years.
There are numerous ferret rescue organisations and this can be a great opportunity to give a ferret a new life. Generally speaking, ferrets and very young children do not mix well, as ferrets have a tendency to bite if they are not handled gently. That being said, ferrets can make great pets for families with older children provided they are supervised and shown how to correctly handle them.

Ferrets are a flight risk and will make a mad dash for any open doorway to escape. If you like to keep doors around your house open then a ferret is perhaps not suited to you home. Similarly, ferrets love to get underfoot, so if your home is a high traffic area or has members of the family who are at risk of falling, then again these fur-balls might not be right for you.
For a full discussion on ferrets and other pets, check out our article Ferrets and Other Pets: Safety First. You ferret will need a specialized enclosure to spend time in. This should be indoors as they are very susceptible to heatstroke. You may also need a harness for walks, as well as the basics such as food and water bowls, toys to play with such as tunnels and bags and a hammock or sleeping bag for rest-time.
Check out our Ferret Care Guide for Beginners for a list of basic care requirements. In some areas ferrets are not permitted, such as California and Hawaii in the US. In other areas a licence is required to own a ferret. Be sure to check the regulations and laws regarding ferret ownership in your local state or the American Ferret Association. You will need to ask permission from your landlord or strata committee before purchasing your new ferret and bringing them home. If your landlord is concerned, you can consider offering an additional pet-bond and a contractual agreement to treat the house for fleas on departure.
There are some basic costs with all pets, such as food, bedding and toys. However, feeding your ferret can be costly, as carnivores they require need a specialized diet and lots of raw meat. Despite their small size, veterinary bills for a ferret can be similar to that for a dog or cat. If you are not planning to breed, your female ferret must be de-sexed or she will stay on heat and develop a fatal anemia.Our Mission: We're saving lives, as many as we can.

The human-dog relationship is based on unconditional trust; however, if this trust is lost it will be difficult to reinstate. In the UK between and , there were 17 fatal dog attacks.
In —08, there were 4, hospital admissions due to dog attacks, which increased to 5, in — In the US between and , there were more than human dog bite-related fatalities. Each year, more than 4.

To compare the two species, Sarah Marshall-Pescini of the University of Vienna tested dogs and wolves at the Wolf Science Center in Austria, which houses a pack of 15 mutts and seven small packs of wolves. In order to slide the tray out of the cage, both animals had to pull on a rope simultaneously. When the animals tested were not initially trained to pull the ropes, five out of seven wolf pairs were able to figure out the test and cooperate enough to get the food in at least one trial.
In a second test, the animals were briefly trained on how to tug the ropes. When tested again, three out of four wolf teams figured out how to pull the tray together. And in those cases, they succeeded during just one trial.
Though dogs seemed engaged, they approached the food one at a time, "very respectfully waiting for one to finish before the other started," she says, which prohibited them from testing out teamwork.
In some ways, the results are not surprising. Wolves are highly social and live in packs, raise their young together and hunt as a team.
The team compared these ancient sequences with those from modern wolves and dogs. Mutations in the Taimyr genome revealed the wolf evolutionary clock ticks more slowly than previously thought. A slower molecular clock pushes back the timing of the wolf-dog split.
The revised molecular clock date is now more consistent with fossil evidence, said George Perry, an expert in ancient DNA at Pennsylvania State University, who was not involved in the study.
But different breeds of dogs are more closely genetically related to each other, and not their wolf counterpart. What this means is that Huskies have more in common, genetically speaking, with Boxers than with grey wolves, even though they may look more similar to wolves and have lived in the same geographic area.
This means that dogs and wolves are farther removed from each other than humans have historically presumed. Wolves howl by themselves to get the attention of their pack, or the pack of wolves will howl to get the attention of another pack usually to tell them to stay off of their turf! In order to socialize them early, it helps for Ambassador wolves to have puppy playmates.
When the WCC raises pups without their mothers, they sometimes enlist dogs be parental figures, to show the wolf pups how to properly interact with the hoomans. Atka had Eno, a German Shepherd, who passed away in Romeo has been dead for years because he wasnt afraid humans,so a human shot him for his pelt.
Sad that they killed him. My question: why? He wasn't hurting no one or anything way out in the woods. What a sad thing to know he's gone for no good reason. Actually, wolves treat dogs as puppies, even if they are grown because dogs have a personality more like a wolf pup than a grown up wolf. There are times wolves even breed with dogs. I wouldn't worry as much about dogs and wolves visiting with each other, I'd be more worried about humans trying to bond with them.

I always swore I’d never have more than two cats, but somehow I’ve ended up with three, so it’s a busy cat household here. Smudge, our three legged interloper rescue cat who squeezed himself into an already full house, is best friends with my five year old. They follow each other around and I can hear William cackling with glee in the early mornings as they tend to both be the first awake in the house. Luna, a four year old Ragdoll is indifferent to most things in life, other than belly rubs, which must be given upon demand, whilst Dawn, my six year old Snow Bengal watches everything with a lofty aloofness and impressive intelligence. They have incredibly different personalities, but all bring something special and unique to the family.
The one thing my three very different cats have in common is their love of food.
Finding good quality cat food can be challenging. It’s hard to know exactly what to buy, with so many different brands on the market, and so many stories of what’s good and what’s not. I have dry food down all the time, but like to feed wet food twice a day after reading about the benefits. This week I’ve been taste testing (and by that I mean the cats, not me literally!) Untamed Cat food.
Untamed Cat Food is made with whole meats, packed with amino acids for easy digestion, and formulated by vets. It has double the protein of the industry standard, and is available in a wide variety of recipes to suit different tastes, so even fussy cats can’t complain. It’s available on monthly subscription, which means you tell Untamed about your cat including age, weight, allergies and preferences, and you get a custom-built plan to suit you. The food is then delivered straight to your door, packaged in a cat’s favourite thing – a cardboard box, naturally. You can choose the delivery schedule and change it, pause or cancel whenever it suits you.
The price will vary based on your choices, but I’ve found it very competitive and I really like having the confidence of knowing that it’s proper meat and scientifically formulated for my cats. If you’re not sure whether your cats will like the flavours or not, you can purchase a trial box and let them put it to the test themselves!
The first thing I noticed was how tasty it actually looks. I’m not joking! You can immediately see this is real, whole meat. That gave me a lot of initial confidence in the quality.
All three of my cats immediately wolfed down their tins and were eager for more. I’m not sure I could say there was any strong preference flavour wise for Smudge and Luna, but Dawn the Bengal definitely flavoured fish recipes, and knowing that will allow me to tailor that preference and get more fish in my next purchase, but no bowl was left unlicked.
That’s a yes from Dawn.
A bit of TMI, but Luna is especially prone to smelly poop. Enough that she can clear a room of cats and humans alike after using the litter tray indoors. Being a Ragdoll she also has long hair which can easily get stuck in poop that’s too wet, resulting in something that neither she, or I, enjoys, the dreaded bum bath. Anyone with a long haired cat will probably be familiar with this! A very pleasant benefit of switching to Untamed Cat Food is that I’ve already noticed an improvement in her poop, it’s much more solid and much less smelly.
I’m really impressed with the quality of the food – and how keen my cats are on it. I also love that Untamed is a small, independent business run by people who genuinely care about the health of our cats and understand how important a good diet is to their health.


It is necessary to gain permission from your Vet (if you have one) before manual therapy of any kind for an animal in the UK. I am happy to call your vet and ask if you haven’t already spoken to them.
If you are wishing to claim back the cost of treatment on your pet insurance then in that case you will require a specific veterinary referral, please speak to me or your vet about this.
Visits to animals within a 30 minute (roughly 20 mile) drive of Warminster will be charged at the following rates:
Initial consultation and treatment: £65 (lasts around 45 minutes)
Follow up treatments: £55 (lasts around 30 minutes)
Initial consultation and treatment: £85 (lasts around 60 minutes)
Follow up treatments: £65 (lasts around 45 minutes)
Visits outside of that area may be subject to additional travel costs depending on number of animals being seen, and distance travelled.

Cats are very common within cities, especially around La Salle. Now cats, while in most cases are meant to be in homes, can also become feral, this means that it is an outdoor cat. The cat has adapted to living outside and does not want human contact or to be handled by humans, but if you give it food it will eat it. There are many kittens running around campus this year, which they’re cute as shit, but most likely the kittens are born from at least one other feral cat. What I’m getting at is these kittens are not 100% feral, but have the innate behaviors of feral cats; being aggressive, not wanting to be handled, hiding, etc., and will probably not make great house cats. I respect the drip. I was very close to snatching one up myself, but cats are not like that. Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure there have been many cats picked up by humans on the street and domesticated. I have had cats that were strays that we domesticated as kittens, one of them was amazing, rest in peace Boo, but the other one was a dick, rip Bitzy. If you’re thinking of snatching a cat off the street, just remember that they might not want you to do that at all.
P.S. every animal that comes off the street needs to go to the vet and probably has fleas ❤
