Pet parents underestimate how damaging stress can be on their cats. One-time incidents are inevitable, like dropping silverware on the floor. However, be careful not to overlook consistent stressors like a new home or other household pets.

Cat owners are all too familiar with hacking and gagging sounds. Seconds after the noises begin, your cat might kindly gift you a slimy lump on the carpet. The occasional hairball is normal, but it’s worth looking into if your cat produces them all the time.

Dogs make trusty companions. But for some people, a dog is much more than that. People who are visually impaired or blind rely on guide dogs just to go about their everyday lives. Guide dogs grant mobility, social opportunities and freedom to individuals who would otherwise be stuck at home. It’s no small task and one that deserves recognition!
