July 21, 2012 Contributor

I just adopted a kitten, Esmeralda, from the Humane Society.  She’s very playful. I went to the pet store to buy her some toys and was shocked at the prices. What do you recommend I should buy and are there other alternatives, household things I can let her play with instead?

July 15, 2012 Contributor

Help!  My little Schnauzer, Mini, was out for a walk for me when a car nearby backfired I guess and she panicked and bolted off into the woods. I called and called to try to get her to come back but there is no sign of her. What should I do?

Buddy and Porky Pet Health – Traveling With Your Pet

July 9, 2012 Contributor

Porky & Buddy: Pet Health: July 4th Not A Holiday For Pets

June 26, 2012 Steve Yablonski

Dogs are very very loyal, but they are not patriotic. For them the Fourth of July is a terror filled day of bizarre loud noises, interspersed with fleeting seconds of joy over a dropped hot dog. That’s all it is.

June 19, 2012 Contributor

I just adopted a kitten, Sophie, from the Humane Society and the next day she came down with terrible diarrhea. My neighbor told me it was probably something called giardia, and that a lot of adopted kittens have it and I should return her and demand my money back.

Porky and Buddy Pet Health: Is Rescuing Animals ‘Stealing’?

June 9, 2012 Contributor

I sometimes rescue cats and dogs that I find that appear to be lost or abandoned and if I can’t find the owner, I then try to find them new homes on my own. A friend of mine told me I could be charged with stealing because they are really not my animals.

Porky & Buddy Pet Health – Is It OK To Leave A Dog In A Car?

June 4, 2012 Contributor

During those really hot days last week, I was in the Penney’s parking lot in Oswego and I saw a dog left in a car in the lot. The windows were cracked, but I was very worried. The owner said it was OK because the windows were open.

Porky & Buddy Pet Health – How Much Water Is Good For Cats?

May 26, 2012 Contributor

How much water does a cat need to drink? I know they do need water, but my two cats seem to be entirely different.  Bertha drinks a ton of water. Phillip, I almost never see drinking. Should I be worried about him?

Porky and Buddy Pet Health: What’s Proper Flea Protection For Dogs, Cats?

May 21, 2012 Contributor

I have been buying Frontline Plus for my little dog, Goofy, but now my cat, Sebastian, has fleas too, even though he hardly ever goes out. Can I just the same Frontline Plus for him?
