You've asked, we've responded! Here our latest top pet-related question:
Q: Why is my dog scratching so much lately?
A: Your dog could be scratching due to fleas, allergies, or dry skin. Check for fleas first. If you don’t find any, consider if there’s been a recent change in diet or environment that could cause allergies. Using a soothing oatmeal-based shampoo can help with dry skin. If the scratching continues, give us a call for a thorough check-up. 🐶 ✨

Does your dog counter-surf waiting to be fed like a human? 😂
People around the globe have made up incredible legends and myths around cats for centuries. In 1791, a jury in Plymouth, England, found a cat guilty of killing a baby by "sucking it's breath out" and suffocating it. This is because in England at the time, the myth that cats took the breath of babies for themselves was a true belief. In the middles ages, the black plague killed 60% of the entire European continent! Many of course, believed that the devil was to blame. Of course, who else would the devil trust with such a task but his feline servants? Many black cats were killed and sometimes their owners with them. It was believed that cats were like witches and warlocks. Unfortunately, the oriental flea was the culprit which lived on rats. Without cats, this made the problem that much greater.
