Pet Safe Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving Holiday is a great opportunity for pet owners to be aware of the myriad of hazards to go along with the holiday parties.The delicious smells of roasted turkey and baked goods may prove a very tempting opportunity for our pets to beg and steal way some foodstuffs.

Economy woes affect pet care too!

The sad state of the economy is affecting all of us thus changing the way we spend our money. I've seen many pet owners try to save money by buying less expensive dog food, trying internet pharmacies and skimping on monthly preventatives and grooming services. I am sympathetic to the plight of my clients but wanted to sound a word…See More

Acupuncture gives a second chance to a rescued Pug

Biscuit is a sweet looking pug that suffered through a string of health issues that resulted in her being abandoned. She was very weak on her hind legs, extremely thin, pale and lethargic. She was not able to play or exercise for more than a minute or she would faint. She was acting depressed and unlike the happy go lucky attitude of her breed. The worst issue was the urinary incontinence which made it very unappealing to have as a pet. Luckily, she landed at the Central Florida Pug rescue…See More

This week when I heard the term lazy dog days of summer for the nineteenth time I knew I had to find out the origin of that common term. A little Internet research and I came out with a very interesting mix of historic facts and myth about dogs.
