Buy dog Toys like you are buying Toys for your kids – always put safety first. Dog Toys need not necessarily be expensive, nor should they be cute. Dogs do not care how expensive or how cute a toy is.

What they need is something safe, interesting and durable. Dogs basically carry around their Toys to areas they feel comfortable playing in. They Bite and chew these Toys, and very squeaky Toys tend to scare them off. If you are to purchase a dog toy, just make sure that it is practical, safe and entertaining for your pet.

Inspired by Home Enlightenment by Annie B. Bond (Rodale Press, 2005).

Not only are birds hungrier at this time of year, but as fall draws near, both migrant and nonmigrant birds will establish their winter feeding territory. There is no better time than now to establish your yard as a bird banquet for the winter!

Here is simple, easy recipe for a basic bird seed mix, to get you started.

Common signs of Ear Infection are:

• Shaking of the head and ears
• Scratching or rubbing the ears and face
• Discharge or even bleeding from the ears

What is Ringworm?

Ringworm is a contagious Skin Condition occurring commonly in both cats and dogs and is actually caused, not by a worm, but by a fungus. Ringworm may cause various lesions on the skin and these are not always in the shape of a ring. You may notice your pet scratching at areas that look scaly and inflamed and, with time, the hair in these patches may be lost. Ringworm can look very similar to a number of other Skin Conditions including mange and allergic conditions, so if in doubt it is important to take your pet to a vet in order to be sure of the diagnosis.

The food debate

Cat foods have been used by Ferret owners for many years, but there’s a fair bit of debate about which food is best for ferrets, whether high-quality cat/kitten foods are good enough, and so on. The usual conclusion is that while foods designed for cats probably aren’t the best, many of the foods with ferret pictures on the bags weren’t designed for ferrets either — they were designed for mink or cats and maybe modified slightly, and priced twice as high.
