As a responsible pet owner, it's important to know the benefits of spaying your female pet.

Spaying eliminates the risk of ovarian or uterine cancer and uterine infections. In addition, it decreases the risk of mammary cancer, especially if done before their first heat cycle.

Did you know that some plants can be harmful to your furry friends?

Plants like Elephant’s Ear, Begonia, Caladium, Dumb Cane, Philodendron, and Umbrella Tree contain needle-shaped crystals called raphides that can cause mouth and throat irritation, difficulty swallowing, and swelling in pets.

Other common garden plants that can be harmful to pets include Nightshades, Datura, Poppy plants, Oleander, and Foxglove.

Keep your pets safe by being aware of potential hazards and preventing access to harmful plants.

If your cat suddenly seems to change his mind about the petting, and appears tense, with his ears back and pupils dilated, it’s best to stop and let him be. If you ignore the signals, he may feel trapped, and his only way out may be to defend himself. Remember that cats are individuals with their own preferences and moods.

Watch for his body language and signals, and respect his boundaries. It’s better to end the petting session earlier than risk hurting your cat or straining your relationship.

Encouraging your dog to bark on command might seem counterproductive, but it can be a useful tool in training them to be quiet.

Speak up — First, find a stimulus that naturally makes your dog bark. It could be a knock on the door, a doorbell sound, or someone saying “Speak.” When your dog barks, reward them with praise and a treat.

Shut it down — Next, say “Quiet” or another cue you choose, and offer a treat when your dog stops barking. Gradually increase the amount of time between barks before you give the “Quiet” cue.

Combine the cues — Finally, practice the “Speak” and “Quiet” cues together until your dog can bark and then stop on command. This will give you more control over your dog’s barking and help them understand when it’s appropriate to bark and when they should be quiet.

Are you paying attention to your pet's dental health? Dental disease is a common issue that can cause chronic pain and discomfort for pets.

But since they can't tell us when they're in pain, it's up to us as pet owners to be vigilant. Look out for signs of dental disease like bad breath, yellow buildup on teeth, and swollen gums.

Annual dental evaluations as part of your pet's regular preventive care exam can help detect issues early before they cause serious problems. A proper dental procedure can make a world of difference for your furry friend!
