I am writing a comic book about streetfighting cats and dogs. Some of them have watchdogs they keep as pets. I am wondering is it weird to give them pet cats? In some of the old Disney caroons Goofy had Pluto as a pet. In Goof Troop the Goofs had a pet cat and the Petes had a dog. I don’t see that as being any different. Please help.

Eco Friendly pet health tips?




Hi everyone!

I am currently working on a newsletter for the vet clinic where I work and was looking for quick input. The theme is "Going Green: Eco friendly pet tips" and will cover natural foods, biodegradable litter, composting, and other environmentally friendly products on the market for pet care. Any suggestions on what you do to promote a green pet (cat, dog, fish, pocket pet, horse, anything!) would be greatly appreciated. I just recieved the assignment today and would love to hear from as many of you as possible as soon as possible.

Tell me what you do to go green. Even if it just using recycled materials, I would love to hear and share your suggestions (with your permission – so if you post, it may be published, so by posting here you are giving permission!) with our community, staff, and clientele.

Also – is there one big area of focus you are interested in as pet owners? While the major article will focus on tips in general, I have a secondary and tertiary article to address a particular area of eco friendly pet care in depth. What specific themes would you (as a pet owner) want to know more about? Would you rather read more about natural diets, grooming, waste disposal, specific products.. etc?

Thank you in advanced for all of your ideas and input. If any of you are interested in reading the final product, let me know and I will link you to it (it is posted online as well).

Just as a note so no one gets upset – I will be posting this question under general pet, dogs, and cats to make sure I can recieve a wider range of answers!
Yikes! Not a pet lover are we. Just to note though, animals on thier own are perfectly eco freindly (as they are a natural part of the environment and ecology). What makes pets not eco friendly is the support they require from humans, meaning it is the owners that are not eco friendly. All I am asking is for other people’s opinions on eco friend ways for the owners to care for thier pets – reducing that impact on the environment. If there is nothing educational or informative to be gained, then don’t bother to answer.

I post all pet food recall informaton on my site for others, but
my own pet died yesterday after two days in the hospital.

http://www.theDivaDog.com

The food was NOT listed on the recall list, but it was Renal Failure. It happened within 3 days of symptoms. :(

If your pet (cat or dog) is not eating for a couple of days and is just laying around, go to the vet and ask for just the Kidney Panel Bloodwork. It only cost … and if caught fast enough will save your pet’s life.

Best of luck to all of our family members in this terrible time.
I was using a Purina product which is not on the list- currently. Symptoms were the same… :(

For the complete lists of all biscuits, dry and wet foods, you will find our link on the middle of our home page. http://www.theDivaDog.com
To the gentleman that suggested I should change information about the Recall List. I only post the most current lists by Menu Foods, Sunshine Mills and what is posted by the FDA. http://www.thedivadog.com/dog-food-recall.aspx

Losing my pet to symptoms of this recall, but feeding him "safe" food unnerves me. I just wanted to pass this info on to every pet owner I can. test can save a life. Good luck to everyone.
