Parents With New Babies and Pet Ownership
March 17, 2008
Far too often I hear a familiar scenario, whereby a couple is panicking about the fact they think they will need to get rid of their pet dog/cat because of their new baby. It is upsetting to me, given my love of and commitment to animals, to hear people first consider getting rid of, or re-housing a pet, before they have even asked for my or another professional’s assistance. Often these situations can be remedied by simple changes in a person’s behaviors which in turn impact an animal’s behavior. But to most lay persons this is not known, nor is the patience to pursue means of peaceful coexistence considered. Thus the pet is not given a fair chance to be assessed, and they are thus surrendered, abandoned, or neglected by their owners.

Tips for Protecting Your Pets During the Winter
February 24, 2008
When the temperatures are below 40 degrees, your pets should not stay outside for very long.
No more than 15 minutes or so is alright, unless you are taking them for a walk or they are participating in another aerobic activity-hunting, luring, racing, etc.
Types of Animals We Worry About Most
Animals we worry about especially during the colder temperatures are the very young/old who may not have the best immune system and/or fat reserves to keep them warm, or pets who are naturally extremely lean and thin-coated (e.g. Greyhounds).

Feline De-clawing (a.k.a.- Onychectomy)
June 16, 2007
Every day across this country people make the wonderful decision to open their hearts to feline friends. These pets may have been discovered at shelters, rescue organizations, feral animals found wandering neighborhoods, and those animals given to them by friends, whose unaltered animals unfortunately reproduced. Whatever means by which we become blessed by these curious, playful, amicable beasts, they will make an indelible impression on all who meet them. For many they may be their only companions, for others they enrich our lives with a sense of mutual reliance for affection, attention, and appreciation of our talents. These animals are especially important for those like our ever-increasing elderly population, and mentally/physically impaired folk, whose sense of well-being, and empowerment is enhanced by their feline dependents.
