An old dog can't learn new tricks, but you can; how-tos on everything you'll need to be your pet's best friend.
The Dos and Don'ts of Dieting with Your Dog
We share a lot of things with our beloved doggy friends; car rides, a bed, and maybe a few scraps while cooking dinner. We also share similar health concerns with our loyal companions. Too many treats and not enough exercise can lead to health complications down the road for both you and Fido. With that in mind, working alongside your dog to combat weight gain and other health problems is a great motivator to eat better and get that heart rate pumping.

Using Amazon Smile to Support Your Local Animal Shelter
You’ve got your sweet, little pets at home. Yet as pet lovers, we often feel that desire to do a something more for fellow fuzzy friends out there. However, with the Amazon Smile program, a percentage of everything you purchase from them can be donated to a pro-life charity. You can buy anything from video games to fuzzy bunny slippers and have some of the proceeds go toward the charity of your choice.

How to Puppy-Proof Your Home
Awww, so you're the proud first time owner of a new puppy! Congratulations on your fluffy bundle of joy! Puppies are so much like little children; they are curious as can be, have a love of running around and playing, and will more than likely try to chew on whatever they can find. That being said, it is worth it to puppy-proof your home so that you don't have to worry about your little fur baby or your things while you are off doing what you do every day.

Wagging, Sniffing, Barking, Cuddles!
People all over the world are falling more and more in love with dogs. One of the most popular breeds would end up being the Siberian Husky (shown in image above). What people don't understand is that you can't adopt or buy a pet just because it looks beautiful and you want to show it off in public or online for people to see. It's not just dogs either. People are purchasing cats, birds, lizards etc.

So You Want to Become a Dog-Walker/Petsitter?. Top Story - August 2018.
So you want to become a dog-walker? Of course you do, dogs are great! What could be better than walking a dog, getting to play with them and snuggling for a little bit then dropping them back home ? It’s kinda like being an aunt to an adorable nephew... you get to be there for the cute stuff and then hand him off to his “owner” (your sister) for the less cute stuff like diaper changes or temper tantrums. Dog-walking and petsitting is a great way to earn extra money, stay active and meet new animals! (And people too I guess)

When Your Roommate Has Pets. Top Story - April 2018.
You may be wondering, "what's wrong with living with animals? Those ones are sooooo cute!" And... You'd be right. They are very cute...and also not mine. I've never had a pet of my own. My family traveled a lot when I was in school and we just didn't have time for a pet, as much as I wanted one. During university, I lived mostly on campus which didn't allow pets until this past year. In September, I moved in with two girls, one who I knew and one who I did not. Both were lovely people who had pets, two of which are pictured here. Now, over my four months there, I learned a lot of things about living with pets, and moreover, living with pets that are not yours. Now there are a lot of pros to having pets. Science has proven that animals help us calm down and reduce stress, however, these adorable hell-spawn tended to cause more stress than I cared to have.
