I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation with Mom and Dad’s trainer. Apparently he is of the opinion that eating random food found on the ground is a bad thing. Clearly this man has never enjoyed a fresh pile of deer poop while hiking, nor visited a local park the day after a country […]
Research done by the American Animal Hospital Association has shown that 60% of all animal hospital visits are emergency in nature and that 1 out of 4 more pet’s lives could be saved if just one first aid technique was delivered before veterinary care.

Dogs gather around. We need to talk. We’ve all been there. You’re enjoying a great day at the beach or on a trail, when all of a sudden that dog shows up and ruins it for everyone. Maybe he’s running with reckless abandon off-leash, or perhaps she’s a bit too friendly when greeting fellow weekend […]
