Cats tolerate pain pretty well. As a matter of fact, we can be fooled that kitty is feeling fine because she’s eating, purring, and snuggling up to us for human love and attention.

Iguanas are probably the most popular lizard kept as a pet today. Many pet stores tell people that they are very easy to care for, but this isn’t true. They actually have very strict care requirements. They also can grow to be extremely large!

Many get baby iguanas not realizing how large they get. They aren’t one of these animals that just grow as large as their tank. When they get bigger, they will need a very large cage, or their own room.

Sand and salt may help prevent our falls on slippery sidewalks, but they can be harsh on a dog’s unprotected feet.

When your dog goes outside this winter, he should wear paw protectors of good quality such as the Muttluks brand. All the chain pet stores sell them or comparable brands.

If you do let him outside without boots, or if he won’t tolerate wearing them, be sure to clean his feet as soon as he’s ready to come back inside.
