The last thing one wants to hear when the economy is bad is "Get another family member." but this may just be a way to battle stressful times.  Pets are costly...vet bills, food, toys, apparel, medication, etc. but their worth to people far out weighs the cost to keep them happy and healthy. According to a recent article by the United Press International, in a study of 400 people: "pet owners

Recently VPI Pet Insurance used data collected from insurance claims to compile a Top Ten list of why most pets need to go to the vet.  VPI Pet Insurance Coming from a veterinary background, I can tell you that all of these can cost a small fortune to treat.  Let's take number 3 on the dog side - Pyoderma, or as most people know it, hot spots.

The hazards of certain flea and tick prevention is a well known subject to veterinarians and their technicians but unfortunately, the public is still very much unaware.  Safe, top quality flea and tick prevention can seem costly to the average person but the results of not using prevention or using a cheaper version can be far more expensive. Let's start with not using flea and tick prevention at

Yesterday was Independence Day and like most Americans, I watched the fireworks. Not unusual, right?  Well, I took my dog.  She loves them!  I'm sure she is the only dog on the planet that does but she really enjoys them.  I'm lucky, most dog and cat owners are probably dealing with the aftermath of the firework displays and picnics.

Pets suffer from food allergies but did you know that many have inhaled allergies too? More times than not this fact is over looked as we sometimes think that dogs and cats that rummage around outside all day long couldn't possibly have allergies.  Here are a few of the symptoms of inhaled allergies:sneezing coughing watery or red eyes red ears chewing of the feet licking (many of these symptoms

The recent oil spill has brought about so much concern for our environment that it makes me wonder why does it take something so big for people to really take the time to care?  Or do they really?  Every day our environment is blasted one way or another.  It may be small things like that plastic water bottle you just drank out of or something big like the oil spill.  The question is...why does it

So your dog is now vaccinated or titered for the main vaccines but now your veterinarian is mentioning MORE!  What is needed, what isn't needed? What is necessary for my area, what isn't?  All questions that your veterinarian should be able to answer but you should have a little knowledge before you enter that exam room.

You take your dog to the veterinarian for his annual exam.  They draw blood for a heartworm test, the obtain a fecal sample to check for internal parasites, the veterinarian performs a physical exam and then they give him his "annual vaccines".  Do any of these questions pop into your head?

My grandmother will be celebrating her 85th birthday in 4 days.  That is a lot of years behind her.  She comes from a time of mustard plasters, liniments and a good sip of brandy would cure just about anything.  Natural solutions to every day ailments. What ever happened to those days? Money, convenience, and life happened. In these days many people are starting to think about their lives again.

This is a subject that I think every pet owner has encountered.  On one side we have the pure minded...no mix breeding here! On the other we have the logic minded...lets take the best of two worlds to make things better! So who is right and who is wrong?  It's usually a decision decided on the individual pet themselves. Just like humans, although we all fall into some ethnic background and some

During the time that I worked for an alternative medicine veterinarian, this idea of making pets vegetarians came up more often that not. Homemade diets were always our number one choice for the pets we would see but as soon as we would mention the idea of raw meat or even preparing meat for the pet, noses were turned up.  Most of the clients that we saw were those that sought out alternative

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.' He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more , after a bit, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard '

This past weekend I had a small emergency with my little dog Poloka.  It was a typical case of her eyes being bigger than her stomach.  She was happily chewing on her raw hide chew bone and she had gotten one on the knots off the end.  With one good swallow, a 2"X3" piece went straight down her throat - or so we thought.  Seems she almost got it caught in her throat, choking a bit (and scaring

I've learned a few new things these past few days thanks to the new tenant under my home.  Recently I'd been hearing knocking near my front door in the early evening.  At first I thought someone was knocking on my door and when I opened it, there was no one there! I was starting to get a bit worried until I realized that the knocking was coming from inside the wall nearest the door.  Now that I

As the Thanksgiving approaches, many people start talking about what they are thankful for this year.  Their family, their jobs, etc. All legitamate thanks but what about our pets?  I hate to admit it but I know I take my pets for granted.  I don't choose to, it just happens.  What would our lives be like if we didn't have that wagging tail to come home to or that soft nudge of a head to wake us

Researchers at the Cork Cancer Research Center in Ireland have made some wonderful discoveries about curcumin which is a component of turmeric.  It has been successfully used to kill cancereous cells!  The curcumin was used to battle esophageal cancer cells.  It actually started to work after only 24 hours.  What they are observing is that the cancerous cells begin to ingest themselves and not

I know the last few blogs have been all business so I thought I'd throw in a little fun here today!  This past weekend we (Casey Petraceuticals) were at Mutt Strutt in Raleigh, NC.  What an interesting day!  From the wind that decided to make a sail out of our banner to the dogs that kept coming by to eat our treats, it was such a treat to be there.  Normally we see the typical breeds - labs,

Did you know that even the healthiest of eaters, without supplementation; will never get the recommended amount of nutrients? The same is true for your pet.  There are a number of reasons why the nutrients in our foods are being depleted.  Here are a few things to consider the next time you head to the supermarket: Farming methods throughout the ages have depleted our nutrient rich topsoil.

We owe it our pets to be sure that they are always in a safe and loving environement.  This means whether we are with them or not.  Veterinary offices, day cares, boarding facilities and grooming places can be terrifying for your pet if they are not used to being away from you.  Want to make these excursions as pain free as possible?  Here are a few tips on choosing the right groomer for your pet

Most people actually cringe when you mention trimming their pet's nails.  Why is this?  Maybe because most pets act like you are actually chopping their toes off, or know that their owner will kwik them or maybe they just hate their feet being touched.  Whatever the reason, trimming your pet's nails can be traumatizing for both you and your pet.  I'd like to talk about ways to make this

Grooming your cat or dog is an essential part of your pet's well being. If you are lucky you have a dog that loves nail trims and a cat that enjoys a good soak in the tub.  for the rest of us these things can be a real battle in a war that must be won. A clean pet is less likely to have skin issues, parasites, and a decreased immune system.  That's right, just like humans, pets can carry many

Cabin fever, stir crazy, winter blues, climbing the walls... We've all heard the phrases and some of us have even felt it first hand but how many of you know that it is the same for pets?  Recently, I've been a bit busy in my life and unfortunately I've not had as much time to spend with my pets.  I didn't really realize just how much it was effecting them until I took the time to play with

Ever wonder what it would be like to have lived in a time when there was no TV, internet, or cell phones? A time when things were simpler and people seemed less stress, healthier and even happier. It applies to pets as well. Think of a wild animal’s routine:  Get up early Check that your territory is still in tact Perhaps eat, perhaps not Start to hunt Break for some play time Maybe nap, maybe

I subscribe to a few magazines just like everyone else, but I do tend to go towards the healthy, all-natural, self-sufficient magazines like Natural Home, Grit, Herb Companion and my all time favorite, Mother Earth.  Why? Because I dream of living a full self sufficient life, living off the land and grid, eating as healthy as we were intended to do and to live a more simple life.  What do I

Nancy mentioned a story that she saw on CNN today.  I found the article and it is a wonderful article on using dogs to help children read.  Besides a great read, it got me thinking about service and working dogs.  These dogs are amazing!  Smart, versatile, and oh so expensive!  For those of you that do not know, these dogs just don't become service dogs on their own.  The amount of time and

My personal preference of food is the grain free type. I have found that not only does this type of food seem to keep my dogs teeth cleaner but I need to feed smaller amounts! I also add raw or cooked vegetables and plain pumpkin to add fiber to their diet. When I look at labels for my dog’s pet food I make sure that the following apply: • Natural Ingredients – with commercial foods, they

A few months back my girls (Alley, a British Golden Retriever and Caley, a Bichon Frise) and I decided to visit a local dog park with a friend. To those of you that have never ventured into a dog park, it is usually an enclosed area where dogs are permitted to run off-leash while their owners mingle amongst themselves. Immediately after arriving, Alley was bowled over by a large rambunctious

I've just read a wonderful article on how pets are living longer these days.  My cat, Ghost, is now 16yrs old and he doesn't act a day over 5.  For many ages no one even knew that dogs and cats can suffer from diseases that only advanced years would ever manifest.  Arthritis, kidney failure, cancer, and senility are concerns for the modern pet that pets of yesteryear never even had the

One endearing trait of pets everywhere is their way to show love by just a simple nuzzle of the hand or a flat out body slam! No matter how your pet does it, they all show affection somehow and when they do, your heart will just melt. My British Golden, Alley, will come up, sit right in front of me (to get the best angle of course) and then out stretch her front paws as if asking for a hug. If I

I went to the movies last nite with a bunch of friends.  We met more people at the theater and even though some of us didn't know each other, when the fact that I was a veterinary technician for most of my life came up, everyone wanted to talk about animals!  Its funny that no matter what the conversation is about, no matter whether the company is diverse in thoughts, animals are always a topic

"If you are an owner of a dog that belongs to a 'dangerous breed' category and you also have a child or a visiting small child please take this as a warning. Don't leave your dog with a small child unattended under any circumstances!!! Only one little moment was enough for the following to happen.
