One of the #1 New Years Resolutions is to be a Healthier person/Loose weight/Eat Right. A large number of pets are overweight too. Lets get Fido into our work out routine and start off 2016 right for everyone!

One of the unsung health benefits of dogs is that they can help you maintain, and even lose weight. Read on to get four ways, beyond just walking, that your pooch can help you shed pounds.

Knowing what to do in those precious moments, could be life or death!

Lets face it, our dogs are always swallowing things that they shouldn't, whether it be large pieces of rawhide, toys, bones, balls, sticks, socks,...

For the love of God people, I go over this every year around the holidays. HUMAN FOOD = Pancreatitis. Which in turn means a $500 vet bill and your pet could die. Watch your counters, watch your trash cans, "Just a little bit" CAN hurt. There are many things your pet CAN have on thanksgiving. Raw veggies are best!

Heartworm disease is no joke folks! It is a devastating disease that can have permanent affects on our furry loved ones. Just give your pet the meaty "treat" once a month and that's all she wrote! Easy Peasy!

For a rescued pit bull named Madonna, early heartworm detection made a lifesaving difference. Read her story and learn more about prevention and treatment of this serious disease.

Before we know it, Valentines Day will be upon us. Valentines Day is showering your loved ones in gifts and goodies to show how much you love and care about them...unfortunately around this time is when more dogs and cats get chocolate toxicity. Chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities. This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline. Xanthines affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system and peripheral nerves. It has a diuretic effect as well. Depending on the type and amount ingested, chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, panting, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures—and even death in severe cases. Treatment is fairly simple but should be conducted as quickly as possible to avoid as many reactions to the ingestion as possible. Oxygen therapy, intravenous medications, and fluids might be needed to protect the heart. An anticonvulsant might also be given if neurological signs are present and needs to be controlled.
Enjoy your Valentines day and may you all be surrounded with love, just keep the chocolates off the coffee tables =)
