Frequent Baths

Make sure your bird gets plenty of baths during the molt. The old feather sheaths will come off easier and your bird will be more comfortable.

How much should you feed your cat?

Your cat needs about 2 or 3 cups per day. I have never had a cat. I'm more of a dog person! They are great mellow pets (Most cats) ,and very sleepy. They do most of there activity at night.

What Is Bad Breath Caused By?

Most often, canine bad breath is caused by dental or gum disease, and certain dogs particularly small ones are especially prone to plaque and tartar. However, persistent bad breath can also indicate larger medical problems in the mouth, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract or organs.

Summer tips

NEVER leave your pet in the car!! Even if it feels cool outside the sun can raise the temperature inside your care to 120 degrees in a matter of minutes. Even with the windows rolled down. If you need to go some where and pets are not allowed you should leave them home ,and if they are scared to be by them self you should invest in the Thunder Shirt that I posted about June 20. It may sound strange but your pets can get sunburned between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M., and when you do go out, rub a bit of sunblock on unprotected ares like the tips of there ears, the skin around there lips, and the tip of there nose. Keeping you brushed because the mats and tangles trap the heat, so groom your pet. And be sure to give them a shower to get the dirt out too, BUT DO NOT USE COLD WATER!! You can put your animal in shock. You should use mild water Not hot and Not cold. Keep cool and enjoy the rest of your summer.

Helping keep your hamster clean!

http://www.wikihow.com/Give-Your-Hamster-a-Bath

If you absolutely must bathe your hamster, get a bowl and fill it with a couple cm of lukewarm water. Very gently, moisten your hamster, taking care to keep the water away from your hamster's face area.You could use an old toothbrush to gently clean the hamster but make sure not to get it near the face. If water alone will not remove the toxic and/or sticky substance, you can use a very small amount of the mildest baby shampoo you can find. Be very careful to keep the suds away from your hamster's face. Rinse the hamster. Place your hamster on a towel and gently pat it dry.Make sure to get most of the water of before giving your hamster a seed and puting it back in its cage to sleep off its agitation.Do not use a hairdyrer! You may also use baby wipes to bathe your hamster.
