When choosing a cat, the first thing that comes to mind is whether you want a male or female cat and whether an adult or kitten is the best choice. Grooming and maintenance considerations then follow, for example, choosing a long-haired or short-haired cat will affect grooming and hairballs. For complete information on the care and maintenance of cats, see Cat Grooming. No matter what type of cat you get, you want to make sure it is healthy first.

However, long-haired dogs have tons of excess fur in the summer that they want to get rid of. Help them with your hand or paw and follow these steps when brushing your dog's hair.

When it comes to fighting hunger, some cats can benefit from pampering themselves all at once rather than several times a day. This is evident from new research from the University of Guelph (U of G). A team of animal nutrition specialists from the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) and the University's Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) found that feeding cats one substantial meal a day instead of several smaller meals can help control their hunger and reduce risk to decrease obesity. The researchers conducted a study on a controlled group of eight house cats of healthy weight under five years of age. Two feeding regimes were agreed, each consisting of the same diet and amount of feed. Half of the cats were fed only in the morning, while the others were fed four smaller meals throughout the day. According to U of G, the cats were equipped with activity monitors to measure their voluntary physical activity. In addition, the feed intake of the animals was recorded daily and their b...

With the west still feeling the heat of this season's forest fires, an organization is on a mission to help our four-legged friends who are also victims of these fires. For almost a decade the Emma Zen Foundation In Anaheim, California, fire departments and first responders were provided with life-saving pet masks for dogs, cats (and other animals!) Rescued from fire. And this season is no different. With the unprecedented wildfire season in California and Oregon, it's imperative that animals are included in rescue efforts as well. Connected: Puppy discovered in ruins after community fires devastated However, Debra Jo Chiapuzio, the founder of the Emma Zen Foundation, believes that a major hurdle in saving pets is for communities not to think about the problem until it's too late. "We are emergency preparedness, not emergency aid," says Chiapuzio of her non-profit organization, which relies on public funding for the masks. "We can't just hand in kits ...

Keeping a dog's growth rate in check can help ensure they hit and maintain their ideal weight. That's according to a new study published in part by United Kindgom's Banfield Pet Hospital and Waltham Petcare Science Institute. The paper shows the potential of applying evidence-based growth standards ( ie Diagrams) for puppies, which researchers say could help ensure adequate weight gain and minimize cases of obesity. The study compared the growth curves represented by the standards with growth patterns in dogs who were healthy, had an abnormal body condition, or had various diseases known to be associated with abnormal growth. A number of growth standards based on body weight have been developed for dogs in five different size classes. The results, which analyzed data from the Banfield Hospital Network, the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, and the Royal Canin Research Center in France, showed that 68 percent of dogs who developed obesity by the age of three grew faster ...

Derby's story Derby is a Husky mix born with smaller forearms and no front paws, making it difficult for him to get around and enjoy the active lifestyle he longed for. His disability also made it difficult for his original owners to care for him, and they planned to take Derby to a shelter where he would be euthanized. Peace and paws , a dog rescue group in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, decided to give Derby another chance. Derby's new foster mother Tara Anderson first bought Derby a wheelchair to get around. She saw a huge improvement in his mobility, but it wasn't enough to give him an unrestricted life. She wanted Derby to be able to run around and play with other dogs. Tara works as the Director of CJP Product Management at 3D Systems and decided to use 3D printing technology to give Derby the ability to run and play like other dogs. 3d printing Because it is computerized, models can be created and recreated without the need to sculpt each model by hand.
