Eliminate Visits to the Vet
You want your furry family to be healthy.
Ever felt liked you failed them?
You are not alone.

Lysine an Alternative
With a runny nose and one watery eye, the vet suggested Lucy take Lysine.
Interesting, as I thought we were in for a round of antibiotics. A refreshing alternative. Advocate for vitamins and minerals as a decent cure for what ails you or a pet.

One cat in the middle of the night from an asthma attack. We were working with a specialist to help manage her problem. (She died the day before her 7th birthday). Continue reading

Is Your Indoor Cat Bored?

Lily resting in office
Is your cat sleeping more than usual and packing on the pounds?
Time to make note of the waking hour activities. Is he/she begging for food or listless most of the time?
Bored cats use food to fill the boredom.
Challenge your cat’s mind with interactive toys. Even just a new toy with unfamiliar smells will stimulate their curiosity.
Cats love to explore empty boxes. Continue reading
