July 2004:
- Protecting Your Pet from Summer Heat
He's panting excessively. He's restless and agitated, or maybe
lethargic. He salivates, vomits, staggers, and loses coordination. If
you're
there to see it, you may observe that his eyes are glazed, and his gums
and
tongue are reddish or purple. In just a short time, he may lose
consciousness.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are preventable when you know how to
take care of animals in hot weather. If you see these symptoms, you need
to
act fast to save the animal's life.
- Children and Pets: Choosing a Pet for a Child
We remember...Blackie. Or Brandy. Or Buddy. Animals don't live
forever,
but the imprint of their bonds with children does. Adult help in selecting
pets and guiding children in their care can help nourish these bonds.

June2004:
- Thyroid Problems in Dogs and Cats
Fido or Fluffy may be lethargic. Or hyperactive. Eating less and
gaining
weight, or eating more and losing weight. Feeling cold. Feeling hot. The
thyroid gland, which sits against the windpipe, could be responsible.
- Gardens for People and Gardens for Cats
To cats, gardens are a little piece of heaven. Fresh soil makes a
perfect litter box, and seedlings that get uprooted in the digging process
are of no consequence to them. You may not want your cat in your garden,
and
if the cats in your garden aren't your cats, you probably like having them
there even less. The solution? Make your garden unattractive to cats, and
give them a garden of their own.
May 2004:
- When Your Dog Barks Too Much
It's annoying. It's sometimes maddening. It can even be life
threatening. Your dog's bark may not be as bad as his bite, but dogs'
barking is a common reason that dogs are poisoned. The good news is that
you
can work with your dog to reduce his urge to bark.
- Why adopt an adult cat or dog?
Puppies and kittens can almost always find a home. Older dogs and cats
often can't. If you adopt an adult dog or cat, you've not only bypassed
the
puppy and kitten accidents and training, but you've got yourself an
appreciative, mature companion.
April 2004:
- When Your Cat Won't Use the Litter Box
It happens on your linoleum floor. Or worse, on your carpet. Your cat
has done her litter-box business somewhere other than in the litter box.
Why? And what can you do?
- Dental Care for Dogs and Cats
They didn't have - or need - toothbrushes. For the ancestors of our
dogs
and cats, chewing through bone and skin of wild prey accomplished the same
job. Without the workout that the teeth and gums need, dental problems
typically develop after the first few years of life.
