Layla, a cat who survived a 22 storey fall, according to an article written by Jim Wilkes from The Star dot com, the Etobicoke Human Society had to seize the cat after the owner refused to fix the cat's broken legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The call was anonymously placed to the Human Society which caused the cat to be seized in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The owner did not take the cat earlier 'cause she could not afford the surgery and although I can sympathize, however, the responsibility of an animal comes with an annual cost that owners do not realize or fail to accept. The average cost including medical emergencies, annually min can run anywhere between $3 - $5/year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pets are cute when they're sitting at the pet store, however, financial responsibility is a must. If you cannot afford to take care of a pet, it's best to allow someone who can. All animals need love but we also need to take care of ourselves financially first before giving what we can to an animal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Layla received $3,500 worth of surgery after she had been suffering with months in pain due to the broken legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allowing the bones to heal without proper treatment causes the bones to heal improperly causing further complications down the road, costing even more in the future to rectify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money, these days are tight and there are a few options for current pet owners. Shop around for alternatives. Some vets may even have a payment plan. Pet insurance is worth looking into or a savings plan specifically for your pet(s) care may be the plan of action.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-9085199102912655123?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/kJKLraFcLTs/layla-survived-22-story-fall.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/09/layla-survived-22-story-fall.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-6510685197165971635</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-02T10:59:10.251-07:00</atom:updated><title>Shiny Happy Cat - Customer Says "Thank You"</title><description>&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Just wanted to say  "Thanks so far".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Our cat has been on  your &lt;a href="http://petproducts.petwellbeing.com/search?p=Q&amp;amp;ts=custom&amp;amp;w=dietary%20supplement&amp;amp;pw=diatery%20supplement&amp;amp;rt=spelling&amp;amp;isort=score&amp;amp;view=grid"&gt;dietary supplement&lt;/a&gt; for a little over 2 weeks, and already his coat looks  better and his mood has improved vastly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;In the last week he's  brought us home 3 wonderful "treats"... 2 birds and one mouse, which he hasn't  done for months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;He's playing with me  again, as I have scratches to prove it, and his sleep &amp;amp; prowling schedule is  back to normal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;We're hoping he puts a  little weight on, however if he continues to improve every other way we're  happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Your product is so much  easier to give him than the 2 pills a day.

Your last  issue with the topic on treating Ear Infections was of great benefit. My Goldie  has always been suseptable to yeast infections in her ears. I have tried various  over the counter treatments with not a whole lot of lasting results. As noted in  the article that Petwellbeing published this August, which was beneficial with  better than good results. I mixed half vinigar and half water, and then warmed  it, for washing her ears. It took two washes, one a day. Bam, like magic her  ears were rid of the stinky yeast oder and continue to smell good with no more  yeast infection. I also trimmed the fur around her ears giving way to better air  flow. Kitana my Golden Retriver, appears happy that the irritation has cleared  up, she no longer shake her head and ears.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thanks Petwellbeing partners and friends to pets and  owners.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eddie-G&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-2592295915596498247?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/lQRsBpucWBY/customer-news-letter-customer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/09/customer-news-letter-customer.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-5592220346407569692</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-02T10:29:10.170-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dog Allergies</category><title>Annoying Dog Allergies - Customer Testimonial</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Ailment:&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Allergies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Treatment:&lt;/span&gt;       &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Over the past 4 years, I have  been battling this with Louie.  Winter time is much better for him but all  throughout Spring,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Summer and into Fall, Louie  is&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;miserable.  Multiple  visits to the Vet for medications and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;blood testing have not been  successful. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;The blood  testing came back all allergy-related. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Louie’s skin will get large  black&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;patchy dry spots  all over him and his skin around his eyes become dark and swollen almost to the  point of closing.   He is so irritated that just rubbing my hand on his back  causes his back leg to start kicking like a dog would do when you are tickling  him.  He is doing it because the highly sensitive irritated state he is in.  He  is constantly rubbing the side of his face on everything even the corner of the  stucco wall.  I have tried so many of the over-the-counter allergies medications  and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;antihistamines.  I  rub him down with Calm Coat Oil, Bag Balm, and even lanolin I got at the horse  store to try to relieve his irritation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;PetWellBeing Product  Used:&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-allergies-p84.cfm"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Stimmune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Your Story:  I have been  giving Louie &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-allergies-p84.cfm"&gt;Stimmune &lt;/a&gt;since the middle of June (almost 2 months now).  His skin  has calmed down and is not spotted up.  His eyes still have dark circles around  them but they are not swollen and runny.  He is not scratching his face on  everything&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;as much as  he used to.  He is still sensitive when you rub him but looking at Louie now  compared to the beginning of this allergy season, he is 80% better.  I  will&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;keep&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;using &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-allergies-p84.cfm"&gt;Stimmune &lt;/a&gt;on Louie because I  know I will continue to see improvement in his condition.  With the heat,&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;humidity and high allergy  count, he looks so much better&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;than past years.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;His daddy&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;and mommy do a lot of scratching  throughout this time of the year.  After seeing the improvement in Louie, I have  now started&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;those two  on &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-allergies-p84.cfm"&gt;Stimmune &lt;/a&gt;also.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Thanks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Linda C.

He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism  at the age of 19.  I have been a veterinary technician for 21 years and was well  aware of the high incidence of side effects, primarily nausea and vomiting,  caused by methimazole and was unwilling to risk Forrest's health and comfort.  I  began researching alternatives and decided to give ResThyro a try.  It  completely eliminated his symtoms.  He even gained weight at his ripe old age.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';"&gt;I will be forever  grateful for the product.  It works!  Currently a veterinarian I work with has  been giving &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/cat-hyperthyroid-p89.cfm"&gt;Resthyro&lt;/a&gt; to her elderly cat for almost a year.

Each cat has their own metabolic make up which determines their response to holistic or commercial treatments. There's also something else that makes cats different and that's their print. Humans have finger prints, no two people have the same print. The same goes for cats, however, their individual indentifying mark is on their nose. The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, like a finger print.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of noses, did you know that a cat's nose is 14 times more sensitive than a humans. This is part of the basic survival of cats. Right after birth the first sense to develop, before sight, is smell. This is so the cat can lead himself to latch onto his/her mother for milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like humans release a pheromone combination when we're in heat, the same goes for cats. They will exude a powerful sexual pheromone much like humans and can scent a "mate" within a certain distance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also establish territory with pheromones through their urine, scented by other cacts. On the same note, their nose is responsible for warning the cat against danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cats noses have a "leathery" tough feel to protect the curious cat, especially if he/she is sniffing where heshe shouldn't be. If your cat has a light colored nose  they're more likely to develope squamous cancer of the nose and ears, especially when exposed to sun over a long period of time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-9178048106016745790?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/LBTS1qJ8UUo/know-more-about-your-cats-nose.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/08/know-more-about-your-cats-nose.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-7471159226306916951</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-20T10:28:01.379-07:00</atom:updated><title>Sixth sense cues in dogs</title><description>Dogs have a sixth sense in dedicating human behavior. Just like we pick up "vibes" on certain people around us, dogs are the same way, however, their intuition is stronger than humans as they rely on this, like other animals, for survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom is generally a friendly dog, nature of the beast with labs and although I haven't seen him display aggressive behavior toward another human, he will get semi protective when he senses someone sketchy walking in our direction. I usually take cues from Freedom and immediately either change my path or walk on the other side of the street. I do this especially since I have the tendency to walk past 10:00 pm as I like to be alone with my IPOD and unwind rather than socializing with neighbors and or get held up while their dogs introduce themselves to Freedom, interrupting the much needed daily cardio workout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the same note, dogs and cats pick up on our cues. If we're sad, find someone to be creepy, happy and or neutral, they change their behavior around us. This is done as we release certain chemicals into the air. Dogs and cats sniff our chemical releases to detect the mood were in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for this besides genetics according to an on-line article written by &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/community/tags/reporter.aspx?id=133"&gt;Dan Vergano&lt;/a&gt;, from USA today, is that in addition to basic survival genetics dogs and cats have evolved with humans and have naturally become in synch.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-7471159226306916951?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/n0m5lBeRymI/sixth-sense-cues-in-dogs.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/08/sixth-sense-cues-in-dogs.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-2170673328566093741</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-23T14:18:08.376-07:00</atom:updated><title>Taco Bell dog passed of stroke</title><description>The famous Taco Bell Chihuahua passed today. The pooch famous for it's role in the 90's for the Taco Bell commercial has died of a stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to most on-line health sites, when a dog suffers a stroke there is no specific treatment, however, most dogs recover better than humans do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symptoms may include the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Head tilt&lt;br /&gt;* Turning the wrong way when called&lt;br /&gt;* Eating out of one side of his food bowl&lt;br /&gt;* Loss of balance&lt;br /&gt;* Lethargy* Blindness&lt;br /&gt;* Loss of bladder and bowel control&lt;br /&gt;* Sudden behavioral changes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two types of canine stroke.

Sadly a lot of pet owners whom are giving their pets away is 'cause they have a medical condition and simply cannot afford the vet bills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I sympathize and understand, I don't get it. You wouldn't give your sick child to the orphanage, therefore, why would you do this to your pet? To me Freedom, my black lab, is like my child with four feet. I couldn't imagine if he were sick to do this. When I bought him, I understood the life long financial commitment, something most are either unaware of or aren't prepared to accept 'cause they're taking away by the cuteness and not the logic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand some people are forced to give their pets up simply 'cause they've lost their home and shelters will not take pets. Pets are viewed in most shelters as just that, as pets and not like part of children and or family. For the health and well being of the other residents, I can understand where shelter workers and owners are coming from with this. Policy. I'm allergic to cats and would be upset if there were cats running around while residing in a shelter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't cut back on regular care. Prevention is always cheaper than the cure.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-7851478353086123013?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/r7solYbN8jo/recession-hits-cats-and-dogs-to.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/07/recession-hits-cats-and-dogs-to.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-797444076204623303</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-01T12:04:43.571-07:00</atom:updated><title>4th of July pet safety tips</title><description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/catflag-778308.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 184px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px" alt="" src="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/catflag-778297.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly happy Canada Day to our Canadian Customers and happy advance Independence Day to our friends in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following are holiday safety tips for both cats and dogs. Although most of this was expressed in my Halloween safety article last year, it is worth repeating for this weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cats and Dogs can get startled with fireworks. If your pet is known to have noise phobia's such as thunderstorms and loud appliances like my black lab Freedom (he hates the vacuum) than fire works will/may raise their anxiety level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few solutions: Find a Kennel that can house the pet overnight, preferably of course opened during the holiday or simply keep the pet(s) at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're going to keep the pet indoors, keep it in a room with no windows and a radio or TV in the background as a distraction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you must take your pet outside, which is not recommended as some pets can get defensive and agitated due to the noise, keep it on a leash and or kennel if possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can if need be use prescribed tranquillizers or mild sedatives. We offer a natural anti-anxiety supplement called &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/cat-anxiety-p41.cfm"&gt;Lessstress &lt;/a&gt;which can also be used in such cases, however, these do have limitations and should not be used on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that you should never punish your pet for fearful behavior, this is a natural occurrence to be frightened with fireworks. On the same note, don't reinforce the behavior with "it's Okay" and paying positive attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important holiday ritual is the all American BBQ. The same rule about keeping pets indoor applies, especially since certain foods are toxic to cats, dogs and or both. Chocolate is the biggest culprit for dogs. Chocolate desserts are the major staple on the dessert table at any 4th of July BBQ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If pets are outside, please have them tied or kept behind the fence at a BBQ and please educate the guests not to feed the pets. Their intentions are good, however, at potluck BBQ'S, not everyone knows the ingredients of certain foods, therefore, to be careful, preparing a home made pet food recipe from a book is encouraged or feed their regular food to minimize "begging" when the guests arrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Canada Day and Happy 4th of July from &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/"&gt;petwellbeing.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-797444076204623303?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/vBI6JuqkymU/4th-of-july-pet-safety-tips.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/07/4th-of-july-pet-safety-tips.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-8574520965359197220</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-25T10:18:04.647-07:00</atom:updated><title>symptoms of cancer in cats</title><description>I received an information letter/attachment in my inbox the other day, not sure if it was from a customer or a vet whom just wanted to pass some information, however, thought that the information contained would be of assistance to others whom may be reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the information below is meant as a guidline(s) for common symptoms of cancer in cats and not intended to replace vet care and proper diagnosis. We are not certified vets, therefore, this information is not intended as positive diagnosis by any any means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the person whom originally e-mail us this information to customer care, whomever you are, thank you so much. I am sure our readers will benefit from the information that you have provided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I speak with more customers on the phone who order our &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/cat-cancer-p28.cfm"&gt;ES Clear for cat cancer&lt;/a&gt; supplement than for dogs. The primary reason that more cats have cancer than dogs is that cats are good at hiding a lot of the symptoms associated with cancer that by the time the vet as diagnosed the cat, they're either mid way or too far along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Veterinary Cancer Society, the following are 10 possible signs of cancer in cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abnormal swelling.&lt;br /&gt;Sores that do not heal&lt;br /&gt;weight loss&lt;br /&gt;Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;Bleeding discharge from body openings&lt;br /&gt;offensive odor&lt;br /&gt;difficulty eating or swallowing&lt;br /&gt;hesitation with physical activity.&lt;br /&gt;stiffness&lt;br /&gt;difficulty breathing, urinating or defecating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please keep in mind that the above are symptoms are of many other things or could be as well, therefore, if she has abnormal swelling, she may not have cancer, hence why vet diagnosis and testing is important and to ensure best change of recovery for a proper diagnosis.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-8574520965359197220?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/bIn4VQZngZ0/symptoms-of-cancer-in-cats.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/06/symptoms-of-cancer-in-cats.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-5789325482788652822</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-19T15:27:42.179-07:00</atom:updated><title>Do Dogs Cry?</title><description>Dogs cry, however, they do not shred tears the way we humans do.

Daniel Blair, the cocker spaniel's young owner, decided the puppy needed a bath after playing in the yard so he put the put in the toilet and gave it a wash. The puppy got stuck in the waste pipe for 4 hours. Plumbers rescued the pup who is reportedly doing fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've covered this topic before that puppies should be monitored with their toddlers/young kids, especially in the case noted above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important that when a new puppy is introduced to the home, proper care and education and supervision is required.

This is common in kittens according to on-line at columnist Dr. Richards (unable to locate credentials on-line, therefore, please speak to your own vet in regards to cat diarrhea).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this is common, this is serious concern that needs to be addressed with a vet as kittens are more likely to suffer from dehydration from the diarrhea more than adult cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two types of diarrhea, acute (meaning lasting about 48 hours) and chronic diarrhea that can be long-term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diarrhea can be caused by:&lt;br /&gt;Parasites&lt;br /&gt;Coccidia&lt;br /&gt;Giardia&lt;br /&gt;Improper diet&lt;br /&gt;Cow's milk&lt;br /&gt;Viruses&lt;br /&gt;Stomach upset&lt;br /&gt;Food allergies&lt;br /&gt;Feline Leukemia&lt;br /&gt;Colitis&lt;br /&gt;Foreign objects causing obstruction&lt;br /&gt;Bacteria&lt;br /&gt;Stress&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Checking for dehydration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the kitten/cat is at rest, lightly pinch the scruff of the neck, pull up gently, keeping the cat firmly on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;Hold the scruff for just a few seconds then release.&lt;br /&gt;The scruff should fold down to normal in seconds, if the scruff/skin stays tented up, get your cat to the vet immediately or administer subcutaneous fluids yourself.&lt;br /&gt;You can also check the gums by lightly pressing your finger against the side of the cat's gums. The gum should go white and then pink up quickly.&lt;br /&gt;If you see streaks of white on your cat's gums or the gums are pure white or yellow, get the cat to the vet quickly.&lt;br /&gt;The third eyelid (called the yaw) will also show when a cat has become dehydrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What NOT to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do NOT give over-the-counter medications to your cat, unless the vet okays it.&lt;br /&gt;Do NOT deprive your cat of food over 24 hours. You can withdraw food for one day to rest the gut, but any longer your cat stands a chance of developing a worse problem than diarrhea.&lt;br /&gt;Do NOT use over-the-counter wormers, or other pet-aids that you think will solve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;Do not self-diagnose your cat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-7980200735000987394?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/Lz1X3345DQ4/kittens-with-diarrhea.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/06/kittens-with-diarrhea.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-1218032914027942571</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2009 17:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-29T10:55:10.679-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to Keep Cats Out of Flower Beds</title><description>Because all cats have different personalities, likes and dislikes, some methods may work well with some cats and not at all with others. It's a case of trial and error.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If you have bare soil cover it with gravel, pinecones or slate chippings etc, it will discourage digging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Gather up many pine cones and place them amongst the flowers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Cats hate the smell of citrus. Get yourself some oranges and scatter the peels and segments too if you want around in your garden. You can also spritz the area with orange or lemon scented water&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Try coffee grounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. DON'T use cayenne pepper - cats get it on their paws, then in their eyes and scratch their eyes -painful and cruel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Plastic forks (big pkg for $1 or so), but bamboo skewers would look much better - stick them in the ground all around plants and flowers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Try crushing eggshells and sprinkling them around the flower bed. The prickly effect of the shells on the cat's paws may deter it for a while. Best to do this when you are expecting a few days of nice weather - rain will just wash it into the soil. Another benefit - it is also reputed to deter slugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Spray water at them (not from a hose) from one of those spray bottles from a garden centre or use a super-soaking water gun for cats further away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start with the cheapest method. You don't need to spend a lot of money to deter cats.&lt;br /&gt;And talk to the cat owner about the problem and let them know what steps you are taking. Make sure they know you don't wish to harm the cat, just that you're trying to protect your flowers. They may have some suggestions that would help - after all, they know their cat's personality better than anyone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-1218032914027942571?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/071zVzesluw/how-to-keep-cats-out-of-flower-beds.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/05/how-to-keep-cats-out-of-flower-beds.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-1375988083354917422</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2009 19:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-25T12:31:26.628-07:00</atom:updated><title>Quality assurance for pet food</title><description>Pet food safety is on the mind and concern of all pet owners. Just like there's always a fear of recalls and product safety just like with human food. We want the best for our pet and understandably so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The risk of negative press can impact a company's sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's be realistic, there are always chances of recalls and or manufacturing errors, although slim and far and few between, when it does happen, the media blows it out of proportion, especially when it comes to pet food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For anyone in any retail industry the key thing to minimizing such potential recalls in establishing a relationship with supplies and make sure that you know where the supplier gets their material from before it reaches your hands. The more hands, the larger the risk in for potential recalls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A company needs to make sure that they have specifications on all sources of where an items or mixes comes from before packaging. A reputable company should not be afraid to challenge the sources in which the ingredients comes from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust is good, control is better as said by Martin Karutz on a similar topic on this months Pet International magazine. It also encourages quality control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If possible, a reputable food distributor should audit and visit the environment, working and manufacturing conditions of where the ingredients comes from etc. Seeing is believes and speaks volumes in regards to quality control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the consumer end, it may be difficult to get all the information that one may want in regards to the food that they choose for their pet, however, below are some basic guidelines for consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the label and make sure that the country of origin is disclosed as well as the ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;1. Check the company's website and make sure that all ingredients are listed.&lt;br /&gt;2. If possible, make your own pet food from fresh ingredients, properly prepared. There are tons of pet food recipe books out there.&lt;br /&gt;3. Call the customer care line and get more specifics on origin. The information may be limited, however, having a bit more product knowledge is better than not knowing anything at all.&lt;br /&gt;4. Don't be fooled by packaging, labeling and or claims, further research.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-1375988083354917422?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/bi7s0iZfRg0/quality-assurance-for-pet-food.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/05/quality-assurance-for-pet-food.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-7654831255995898929</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2009 19:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-02T14:39:36.985-07:00</atom:updated><title>gas boxes vrs. injection for euthanize cats</title><description>In the news:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animal lovers protest a Cowichan Valley Pound in order to stop a cruel way to euthanize of cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On-line petition has gained more than 1,1000 to stop the use of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide gas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public pressure against the use of "gas boxes" to euthanize cats have been successful in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One shelter manager argues that when used properly a "gas box" is more humane than injection. Injection of chemicals can often prove to be too traumatic according Helen Roberts, shelter manager with the Nanaimo Animal Shelter. The gas proves to be an anesthetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If cats are clawing and trying to escape that can be 'cause the box wasn't set up properly. It should be pre-filled so that the cat goes unconscious right away.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-7654831255995898929?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/-mDbdXq05Og/gas-boxes-verssus-injection-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/05/gas-boxes-verssus-injection-for.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-285744719833354663</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2009 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-06T11:10:25.999-07:00</atom:updated><title>Resthyro testimonial does it really work</title><description>&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"My cat Sammee is a small grey tabby. She is my best friend,so when she started losing weight and yowling [as they call it] I call it crying for help-I took her to the vet. He said she had an over active thyroid,a 103 degree temp. and was on the verge of &lt;a href="http://petproducts.petwellbeing.com/search?w=kidney+failure&amp;amp;CFID=302862&amp;amp;CFTOKEN=81505966"&gt;kidney failure!&lt;/a&gt; he sent me home with these small  pills that i was supposed to give her 2 x a day. well if you knew my Sammee you would know this is impossible. She has been difficult to give anything since she was a kitten! The pills helped but I could'nt give them to her everyday because it traumitized her so much. That's when I decide to go on line and research her condition. I ran across  an article on pet well being that had a testimonial about their cat and how much the product &lt;a href="http://petproducts.petwellbeing.com/search?w=resthyro&amp;amp;asug=resth&amp;amp;view=grid"&gt;Resthro&lt;/a&gt; worked. Sammee is 15 yrs old and she went from near death to running around her old self!! Not only that, the medicine is a liquid and it is so easy to give her! I am so thank full to have found this product and to have my Sammee at least for a few more years!!!Thank you Pet Well Being for caring about animals!!!

Not really, however, cats have been known to have that "sixth sense" when it comes to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a cat named Oscar in Providence RI, he was able to predict the death of a patient by appearing in their rooms hours before their death to notify staff as family members of their loved ones passing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oscar jumps on the bed and purrs and comforts the patient and often sits with the family and or substitutes for family that either may not be in existence or on their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does Oscar know that a patient is near passing? Oscar may be picking up specific odors surrounding death that the human nose may not be able to pick up.

If you notice any abnormalities with your cats heart rate please take him/her to the vet immediately. Once properly diagnosed by a certified vet we have a supplement that may be of benefit called &lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeing.com/cat-heart-disease-p36.cfm"&gt;Hearty Heart&lt;/a&gt; for cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Normal pulse for cats is between 130 - 240 beats per minute. To feel the pulse look for the femoral artery which is located close to the surface on the inside of the thigh at the groin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Count the number of beats per 15 seconds and times that by 4 to get the total per minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are different types of heart disease (Cardiomyphapthy) in cats, most popular are: dilated Cardiomyphapthy, restricted Cardiomyphapthy and hypertrophic Cardiomyphapthy. A cat can have heart disease for a long time before experiencing heart failure. Most forms of severe heart failure occurs when there is too much fluid in the lungs and heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you suspect your cat to have a heart condition please take it to your local vet, although economical in these tough times, self diagnoses especially in relation to the heart is not a good idea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luv Sheila &amp;amp; Freedom (my black lab)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-5197564648428155821?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/wE0jUMa90VQ/how-to-check-your-cats-pulse.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/04/how-to-check-your-cats-pulse.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-6405494769770873008</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-08T15:28:01.293-07:00</atom:updated><title>Es clear for cat cancer testimonial Does es clear work</title><description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/cat1-752548.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 306px" alt="" src="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/cat1-752547.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I just wanted to thank you....My cat was diagnosed with Lymphoma six months ago. The vet told us that he could possibly last 30 days. My cat is 16 years old so I did not want to torture him with chemo or radiation. I always used to have a holistic vet before I moved to Florida. I did not search for a holistic vet, but I chose him quite by accident.  To make a long story short, I searched online to hopefully find something like he would prescribe.That is when I discovered Clear ES. I had NO EXPECTATIONS. It was a last ditch effort to Euthanasia.  At first I thought it was a coincidence when Rizzy's tumors shrunk after a dose of Clear ES. I did not even read that it might do that. I just noticed the huge tumor got noticeably smaller. In a short time, my husband and I both noticed that Rizzy seemed livelier than he had been in years. Even his chronic diarrhea went away. I never expected anything when I bought the ES Clear. I was just so sad. I knew it couldn't hurt, but I really did not expect it to help.  It has been six months now since my cat was diagnosed and given a month to live. I know Rizzy is not cured and eventually he will succumb to his cancer. I do wholeheartedly believe that ES Clear prolonged my cat's life. My husband believes it too. Not only that, ES Clear made Rizzy feel so much better that he actually enjoys his life more now."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you,Susan Ruegger-Fentz&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-6405494769770873008?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/fG31TY3OWYM/es-clear-for-cat-cancer-testimonial.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/04/es-clear-for-cat-cancer-testimonial.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35196421.post-3273266486817319928</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2009 23:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-30T16:50:46.748-07:00</atom:updated><title>Es clear for cat cancer testimonial Does es clear work</title><description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/milo-795034.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px" alt="" src="http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/uploaded_images/milo-795030.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received an e-mail asking me to write a review for the product, &lt;a href="http://petproducts.petwellbeing.com/search?w=es+clear&amp;amp;CFID=32946266&amp;amp;CFTOKEN=31986370"&gt;ES Clear, for cat cancer&lt;/a&gt; that I recently purchased. I would love to write a review, but unfortunately I did not buy this product in time and I lost Milo on March 19th. We did use this product daily and it certainly controlled his vomiting and diarrhea, but his cancer must have been too advanced. He was thirteen years old and our vet felt surgery would have been too much for him. I do feel this product help in the short time and he did not have pain which I was most greatful for.

He was stumbling down the stairs, hardly able to stand or focus or chase his balls in November &amp;amp; incredibly clumsy &amp;amp; wobbly. All of that because of a toxic liver caused by 7 years of phenobarb use. We're also backing off his phenobarb and replacing it with potassium bromide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've got to tell you, though, a few weeks ago he ate some dead rancid furry critter and was very sick. I wasn't able to give him any of his meds except seizure meds as he was off all food and took about 2 weeks for him to be able to hold a normal amount of food. He became slightly ataxic again even with continuing to decrease his phenobarb. I know that the milk thistle is making a huge difference in his quality of life because once back on it - almost immediately he was remarkably better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cindy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35196421-7940343559974341249?l=www.petwellbeingblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/petwellbeingblog/~3/uV4DY00SHXc/milk-thistle-for-dog-liver-disease.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (PetWellBeing)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.petwellbeingblog.com/2009/03/milk-thistle-for-dog-liver-disease.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
