Hairballs are common in cats, but they are not normal. In fact, some severe cases make a surgery inevitable to remove the hairball from your kitty’s digestive tract. That said, it is always better to take preventive measures and notice early signs before the problem gets bigger and complex.
April is national Adopt-A-Greyhound month, and there are many greyhounds out there looking for a new home. These super-fast dogs have a few remarkable qualities that make them the ideal family companion.
When it comes to taking care of our lovable four-legged babies, we need to make sure that we are giving them the right nutrition for their health. This is why we should be choosing the best brand pet food that will support their development and immune system. Feeding your pets is one way of showing your care and love for them. Careful consideration when picking what food is best for your pets is a good way to keep them happy and healthy.
A conscious animal, capable of love and creating friendly relationships; can be devoid of these sensibilities by enduring pain, fear, anger, and anxiety instead. For a bird that could fly in the open, is locked up in a cage like a showpiece. While a dog meant for a cold region, it is domesticated in a hot, rugged environment where it is kept indoors in AC. Even a horse that grazes in open pastures of land is fed twice a day causing him gastric ulcers. Animal cruelty can take place in many forms.

In both war and peace, humans, especially soldiers have always had a trustworthy, loyal and extremely helpful partner by their side. But that companion wasn’t a dog as you might think. Horses have been helping us with traveling, farming, having fun, competing and even with fighting when a need for it occurred.
