We have over 3,000 animal care, behavior, hazard and disease prevention and sickness treatment titles available to our clients. These are customized to our geographical area and climate. In our website listing of animal care handouts we only provided the early stages of life care for that species. All of the life care handouts cannot be practically listed, nor the problems that the animal may have.

Adopting a Pet

Report

There are many advantages to adopting a new pet. Pets provide companionship, love and joyful experiences. If you have younger children the task of caring for the pet can develop responsibility within the child. A pet can be a very good friend for your child. Studies show that a pet does not replace human companionship; on the average people who have pets are more socially active and have a higher self-esteem than non?pet owners.

Feline Urological Syndrome FUS

Report

F.U.S. is an abbreviation for Feline Urological Syndrome. More than one in 10-15 cats are prone to this problem. Due to the magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and other dietary components the cat develops BLADDER STONES which can cause urinary tract infections, blockage of the ability to urinate in male cats and expensive hospitalization and other procedures to diagnose and correct the situation.

Kitten Care

Report

1. Feed a high quality food designed for kittens till 9-12 months of age. This diet will ensure adequate calorie and protein intake. Young kittens do best with three feedings daily, while older cats can be fed once or twice a day. We prefer dry food because this helps prevent dental tartar buildup.

Large Breed Puppy Feeding

Report

Obesity is to be avoided. As long as you cannot see the puppy's ribs, yet easily feel the ribs, she is near their optimum weight for her size. A waist should be seen from the top and an abdomen (stomach) that slopes up to the hips also should easily be noticed from the side. We do not recommend leaving the food out (ad-lib feeding).
