Pet Health

Last week, we promised to tell you about the dangers of the upcoming holidays that you as pet owners need to worry about. We are sorry to add to your list of concerns – do you really have to wear that ugly sweater you got from your Mom?

Gin and Tonic are two brothers, about 10 months old. Gin is more outgoing. He loves cuddles and attention, and is more the goof-ball of the pair. Tonic is a gentleman, polite and shy at first but he feels more comfortable when his brother is around.

She is a short-haired black and white tuxedo, named after the late Dian Fossey, a primatologist and conservationist who spent her life as a protector and friend of Mountain gorillas. You don’t need to travel deep into the mountain forests to find this little monkey though. She can be found mingling with her siblings or going bananas with a good toy.

A few days ago, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning and notice of recall of a number of brands of dog food, some of them distributed nationally, all which have been found to contain excessive levels of Vitamin D, up to 70 times the recommended level.

I am getting ready to adopt a feline friend for the first time and my kids saw a kitten on Petfinder.com and want me to adopt a kitten. I was thinking about adopting an adult cat, especially since my kids are a little rambunctious, to put it politely.

She is a long-haired white and grey tabby. She is named after the late Ada Lovelace, a mathematician known for her work on the early computer, the Analytical Engine. It will only take you moments to analyze this beautiful purr machine and engineer a companionship of a lifetime!

He is 3.5 months old and comes from a litter of 8 little scientist kittens. He is named after the late Amedeo Avogadro, chemist and physicist. Based on Avogadro’s constant we are 6.02 x 1023 mol-1 sure that you will find this kitten to be a GAS! He is a very soft, short haired domestic gray and white tabby.

Our cat, Stella, likes to go outside at night. We try to call her back before we go to bed. Sometimes she comes, sometimes she doesn’t. My question is – how cold is too cold for me to give up and go to bed?

Last year, at our family Thanksgiving feast, I brought my dog with me (it was OK with my mom) hoping that she would be a distraction from the temptation to talk (well really argue) about politics. But when I offered Lola a little pumpkin ravioli canapé thing as a treat, my sister freaked out that I was feeding her human food and so we basically argued about that instead.
