January is National Train Your Dog Month, and I caught up with my local veterinarian to get his view on dog training. The doctor had plenty of advice on where to start with that new puppy or newly adopted rescue dog.

Wishing all a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. May 2016 be filled with a renewed sense of hope for a better world not only for humans but for our animal friends as well.

Celebrating Christmas morning with my kitties! New toys are always fun!  Here is how the morning transpired.

Why, oh why are people so cruel? Sometimes, sad stories of animal cruelty do have happy endings, and that’s what is hoped for Jaws the cat. Jaws was so named because someone bashed his face and fractured his jaw, put a bullet in his tail, and obviously left him for dead. But through a miracle, he survived and was found by a good Samaritan under her car who took him immediately to a veterinarian.

It is my pleasure to share with you the Mdzananda Animal Clinic's story of unconditional love this holiday season. This is their Christmas appeal so please read on. I hope this warms your heart as much as it did mine.

Most folks probably think of dogs as therapy pets when the subject comes up. However Duncan, a miniature horse, has passed his test and is now officially a therapy pet, too. He made an appearance at the Family Pet Show in New Jersey.

Jackson Galaxy has done it again. The Cat Daddy has come out with a third book, this time to help the cat owner create a more pleasing home environment for their own pet. The best part is, for every pre-order sale of the new book Catify to Satisfy: Simple Design Solutions for Creating a Cat-Friendly Home, book publisher Tarcher/Penguin will donate $1 to the Jackson Galaxy Foundation until Nov. 17, 2015. Not only will you learn simple design techniques to make living with your beloved feline a happier experience, you will be contributing to a worthy cause helping shelter animals.

It's time to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of National Feral Cat Day, October 16, 2015! Alley Cat Allies has promoted this year's theme as the Evolution of the Cat Revolution.

It was a sad, sad day for so many of us when the story first broke that veterinarian Kristen Lindsey posted a horrendous photo of herself on her Facebook page bragging that she killed a cat (Tiger) with a bow and arrow. Now we are one step closer to justice for this poor feline pet.
