Filed Under Pets | Posted on February 26, 2008
Who said that “the dog is man’s best friend” didn’t talk nonsense, and the saying is old enough to confirm its value of truth: not only is the dog a reliable friend and a playful giddy presence, but if passed through the “fire” of a guide dog training, he can become the only support a person with disabilities has, when going out, helping them and teaching them in return how to live. The experts that transform the animals into indispensable professionals are very patient and have different special methods to do so. Certain dogs have become famous in the industry of film-making, in police- the capture of wrongdoers and the finding of narcotics –have guided blind people out of their homes for the first time and so on.

Filed Under Pets | Posted on February 26, 2008

Guess what most commercial dry foods are made of? You’ve got it–corn, wheat, and rice. And this includes dry foods formulated especially for diabetic cats. Feeding a kitty with this disease a diet high in carbohydrates has been compared to pouring gasoline on a fire and wondering why you can’t put it out.

Cats are great at getting into everything. Felines can often deftly open the doors on cupboards, so it can be a wise precaution to add child safety latches to the cupboards where household cleansers and other potentially toxic compounds are stored. This can also be helpful in the bathroom if your cat has a habit of playing in the toilet paper that is stored under a sink.
