National Rescue Dog Day

 

National Rescue Dog Day brings awareness to the countless number of adoptable dogs in shelters and rescues that need loving homes. Through no fault of their own, these dogs have been abandoned or neglected and deserve a second chance at a furever home. You can find a wonderful dog of every breed (yes purebreds!), size and age on Petfinder.com As the proud Mom of a rescue dog and fellow rescuer, I can definitively say that rescue dogs are every bit as trainable, loveable and well-behaved as dogs from a breeder or pet store. While some (like my Legend) have overcome extreme obstacles, rescue dogs teach us that love and trust can be restored even if prior promises were broken. On National Rescue Dog Day, we also want to thank the volunteers, rescuers and shelter staff that work tirelessly to save the lives of these deserving pets! Please consider adopting a shelter dog and save a life!

May Is National Chip Your Pet Month

Lost pets that have a microchip are far more likely to be reunited with their owners than pets without a chip. The month of May has been designated as National Chip Your Pet Month to encourage microchipping as a way to help protect your pet. A microchip is a radio-frequency identification transponder (RFID) that is as small as a grain of rice. The implant procedure is as simple as getting a vaccine. The chip is usually inserted between your pet's shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique identification number that you can connect with your contact information. All pets should wear a collar and name tag, but those can fall off or become hard to read. A microchip can help protect your pet for life. Microchipping is a safe and effective way to link you to your pet…..it’s hip to chip!

How To Help Senior Cats With Kidney Disease

Kidney disease is most commonly seen in older-aged cats. Even if they have not been diagnosed with kidney disease, most cats over 15 years of age will have some renal insufficiency. Senior cats may become more finicky with their food, drink more water, or just stop eating breakfast for example. Kidney disease can make pets feel nauseated and cause them to vomit. It is a progressive condition but the rate can vary depending upon the cat's diet, supplements and overall health. Ask Ariel's Kidney Health is an all-natural, veterinary-approved proteolytic enzyme supplement that breaks down protein and assists the kidneys to eliminate metabolic waste. This tasteless, easy-to-use powder reduces the workload on the kidneys and can be mixed into food. It can be used with any senior cat to help maintain healthy kidney function.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

 

Hope you and your pets have a wonderful Cinco De Mayo!
