Senior dogs and cats make a wonderful addition to any family, and in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why. I've made a list of 7 reasons why everybody should consider adopting an older dog or cat. You may think senior animals don’t have much left to give, but the truth is that they have a lot more life to live, and they’d love to live it in a safe home with a loving family.
Everyone loves adorable puppies and cute kittens, but have you taken the time to think about how much that little ball of fur will be? Kittens and puppies have an endless supply of energy! They chew, scratch and bite. While they do make wonderful additions to most families, senior pets are certainly much easier to care for.
The overpopulation of animals is a serious issue facing our world today, and you can help out by adopting one of the millions of senior pets waiting for a home in animal shelters around the globe. Unlike the surprises that can come while watching younger animals grow, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting when you adopt a senior pet.
Pet cameras have been growing in popularity like crazy, and chances are you’ve heard about them too already, right? Maybe you’ve seen the commercials or seen the funny videos that pet owners post on social media of what their dogs do in the house when no one else is home. I’ve been thinking about getting a pet camera to keep an eye on our Boxer who has a touch of separation anxiety, but I want more information before I make a decision.
I’m not the most tech savvy person out there, so if you’re like me this information will be very beneficial. This week I spoke with Rachel Youens, Senior Marketing Manager at Petcube. She told me about some of the growing trends in the pet technology market and what we’re likely to see coming in the future. She also explained how technology can help owners take better care of their pets.
The Petcube camera offers a few features that other similar products don’t, but Rachel also gives some pointers on some of the features you should be looking for when you’re shopping for a pet camera. She explained that some cameras are better than others, and there are some features that are worth a little bit of a higher price tag.
Spraying or neutering is a big deal, and many pet owners have a lot of questions on how to go about this. What are the advantages and disadvantages? When’s the best time to spay or neuter a pet? This week I’m sharing information on the topic, and you’ll learn about the pros and cons of this surgical procedure. There’s new research done every day on the topic, so be sure to keep yourself updated as new information is coming out.
Spaying and neutering dogs and cats both offer some very enticing benefits. You won’t ever need to worry about pet pregnancy, and you’ll be doing your part to help with the overpopulation of pets on our planet. There are animal shelters all over the world caring for pets without a home. If your pet has a litter, how can you be sure that none of the babies will end up in a shelter somewhere down the road?
Of course, these surgeries have their disadvantages too. One of which is the surgery itself! Is it worth it to have your pet undergo anesthesia when it isn’t 100% necessary? What’s the recovery time going to be like? I’ll answer all of these questions and more in this week’s episode.
