The Senior's Guide to Choosing a Pet Companion
Pets are known as beloved companions that provide entertainment, company, and in some cases, protection. Outside of these common pet characteristics, are benefits that can enhance any senior's lifestyle and well-being. For a senior, a pet can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, ease loneliness, and in some cases increase physical activity. For example, by owning a dog, physical activity and social interactions may increase from active dog walking and conversations with other pet owners.

Poisonous Flowers and Plants for Pets - Plants That Can Harm Your Pet
Many people who have pets might have a, more or less pronounced, "Jungle Room." But unfortunately, not all indoor plants are safe for our four-legged roommates. Approximately 10 percent of all sickness in household animals comes from flowers poisonous to cats and dogs. Symptoms vary - depending on the nature of the poison. If the central nervous system is affected, seizures and unconsciousness can occur. If the cardiovascular system is under attack, it can lead to severe shock, in which the animals can die quickly. Continuous vomiting and diarrhea will also accompany symptoms.

Like all dog owners we want to give our furry friends the best life possible and keep them healthy and happy. What we feed them is crucial to keeping them well. We want our dogs to have lots of energy and shiny coats. We don't want to see them lethargic, overweight or sick. We don't want to be responsible for giving them a dog food that could be potentially harmful or cause unpleasant issues such as flatulence or flaky skin. And we of course want our dogs to enjoy what they're eating!

Community Cat Programs Handbook - Stray and Feral Cats Rescue
No two CCPs are alike; some include kitten nurseries and extensive foster programs, for example, while others are limited mostly to return-to-field (or shelter-neuter-return) efforts. But at the heart of all CCPs is the trap-neuter-return, or TNR (sometimes mistakenly referred to as trap-neuter-release), method for managing community cats. With TNR, stray and feral cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then returned to the outdoor location where they were living.
Best Friends prefers to call feral, stray, alley, and/or otherwise ownerless free-roaming cats by the term "community cats." This is because these animals are a part of the community in which they live, and valued by many of the residents. We are working to change the often-negative public perception of these cats.

The Vacuum Effect: Why Catch and Kill Doesn't Work
Removing cats from an area by killing or relocating them is not only cruel--it's pointless. Animal control agencies and city governments have blindly perpetuated this futile approach for decades. But scientific research, years of failed attempts, and evidence from animal control personnel prove that catch and kill doesn't permanently clear an area of cats.

Why Trap-Neuter-Return Feral Cats? The Case for TNR
Trap-Neuter-Return is the humane and effective approach for stray and feral cats. Now in practice for decades in the US after being proven in Europe, scientific studies show that Trap-Neuter-Return improves the lives of feral cats, improves their relationships with the people who live near them, and decreases the size of colonies over time.

Invisible Fences for Dogs
Invisible Fencing is a system using an underground, electrically charged line around the perimeter of your property in conjunction with a collar that the dog wears, which delivers an electrical shock.
