Hello, human friends! Did you know June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month? My name is Whiskers, and I want to share my story of adoption from a shelter to a loving home. Let me walk you through what it's like for a cat to find a forever home, how we acclimate, and most importantly, how you can help reduce our stress during this transition.

A New Beginning: Helping Your Shelter Cat Acclimate and Reduce Stress

Our pets rely on us for love, care, and protection, and part of that responsibility includes understanding the health risks they face. One such emerging threat is antibiotic resistance, a growing concern that affects not only humans but also our beloved pets. In this blog, we'll explore what antibiotic resistance is, why it's a problem, and how you can help safeguard your pets' health.

Understanding Antibiotic Resistance: A Guide for Pet Owners

Travelling with your dog across borders just got a bit tricker. Last week, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated requirements for bringing dogs into the US. These requirements will apply to any dogs entering the US - including those returning to the US after traveling - and will take effect August 1, 2024.

New Developments for Navigating International Travel with your Dog

Did you know that May 9 is National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day? As this year's wildfire prediction is higher than last year for many parts of North America, it's essential for pet owners to have a plan in place to ensure the safety of their furry companions. Evacuating with pets can be stressful, but with proper preparation, you can help keep your pets safe and secure. Here are some essential tips to help you prepare for evacuation during wildfires.

Be Prepared: How to Safely Evacuate with Your Pets During Wildfires

April showers may bring May flowers, but for pet owners, they also bring potential health risks for our furry friends. As the rain falls and the temperatures rise, the risk of dogs becoming infected with organisms like leptospirosis and giardia increases. Understanding these risks and taking proactive measures can help keep our pets safe and healthy during the spring months.
