• Things You Should Know About Keeping Rats

  Rats are kept for many reasons from being pets to prize show animals. They are excellent pets, are easy to keep and you can develop good owner-pet relationships with them.

• Training Your Dog and Choosing a Trainer

  Choosing the correct training package for dogs is just as important as selecting the right education system for children.

• Training Your Dog to a Head Collar (Halter)

  There are many situations where a head collar may be recommended for your dog as it has the unique benefit of allowing control of the head that collars around the neck or body harnesses do not give.

• Tube Feeding in Cats

  Maintaining nutritional intake in sick cats is vitally important. Unlike healthy cats that are able to reduce their metabolic rate when not being fed, cats that are unwell are unable to turn their rate down and will therefore 'starve' much more quickly.

• Use of Positive Reinforcement (Rewards) in Training Dogs and Cats

  When we speak of training our pets, what we usually mean is that we want them to learn a specific task or behaviour.

• Vomiting in Cats

  Vomiting describes the return of food from the stomach. It may be related to disorders of the stomach but is a sign that can occur with many other different diseases and problems.

• Wet Eczema

  This is more accurately described as acute moist dermatitis. It is commonly known as wet eczema, hot spot eczema or summer eczema.
