A recent study commissioned by Cloud 9 Vets found that nine out of 10 pet owners in the UK want their pets to spend their last moments at home. The survey included 400 pet owners who clearly preferred their pets to be in familiar surroundings instead of at a veterinary clinic. Yet, many do not know that at-home euthanasia is an option.

Unlike humans, pets especially breeds with thicker coats like huskies and samoyeds can struggle to regulate their body temperature in hot weather. So always make sure they have access to cool, fresh water and plenty of shade that lasts throughout the entire day, RSCPA NSW's chief veterinarian, Dr Liz Arnott, says. You need to set up multiple water bowls in case one is spilled and keep them out of direct sunlight.

Growing up is weird. One day you're playing hopscotch and trying to land on your crush in MASH, and the next you're in your late 20s, trying to hit your daily protein goals, saving up for a $200 pillow, and wondering if you should start leash-training your cats. The things I once thought I'd never care about are now constant thoughts in my mind.

The 35th annual parade, held on Sunday, October 19, between 11th Street and 6th Street produced a frenzy of spectators so fur ocious that foot traffick was deadlocked on the sidewalks. At some locations, spectators swarmed past barricades, climbing into the grass against the wishes of private security guards. Spectators stoof on fences and private doorsteps just to get a glance at some of the dogs trotting by.

As autumn brings cooler temperatures and changing weather, dog owners should consider outfitting their pets in seasonal clothing for comfort and safety. While some breeds like Siberian Huskies and Saint Bernards have thick coats suited for the cold, many others can benefit from an extra layer of protection. Dogs with thin or short coats, such as Greyhounds and Chihuahuas, and those low to the ground like Corgis, often struggle to stay warm in colder weather.

We're back! After our summer hiatus, the Brooklyn Basin Small Dog Meetup is returning on Sunday, October 26th, from 1-3 PM with a fun theme: Barks & Boos Since launching in March, we've had so many wonderful dogs join us at our past meetups - and we're thrilled to announce that our group has now grown to over 100 members!

The hawk was found, unable to fly, on a picnic table at a San Jose park in late July, suffering from an open head wound and tearing and swelling in her right eye impacting her vision, which is integral to hunting for food, according to a press release from PHS/SPCA. The hawk was brought to the PHS/SPCA's San Jose wildlife intake center, where it was stabilized

Have you ever wished your video meetings could be interrupted by a wagging tail or a soft snore from the corner of your home office? Working from home has its perks, but it can also get lonely or monotonous-unless you have the right four-legged coworker by your side. The right dog doesn't just fill the room with joy; they can even boost your productivity and well-being in surprising ways. Not all breeds are cut out for home-office life, though. Some crave attention 24/7, while others are just as content napping through your deadlines.

Urban living can make pet ownership more challenging,

Cows are highly intelligent and deeply sentient and emotional beings with distinct individual personalities. 1 Each and every individual has a unique personality, and it's fair to say not a single cow enjoys being farmed for human meals. In his new science-based and beautifully illustrated book, Voices of the Herd: Portraits of Rescued Cows and Their Sanctuary Stories, Mark Peters shares deeply moving and personal photographs and stories of rescued cows-the fortunate few spared from lives of unimaginable suffering.

Researchers from the Royal Veterinary College have now revealed which breeds are the most likely to suffer one of these nasty injuries. Boxers come in at the top of the list, with these large dogs being 3.6 times more likely to hurt their tails than mixed-breed dogs. The English Springer Spaniel comes in second (2.46 times more likely), followed by the Cocker Spaniel (1.86 times).

I soon found out they were either outrageously expensive, or they seemed only suitable for traditional families, or they were so cheap that I came home more knackered than when I'd left. My first attempt, camping with friends, was fine until I had to pack up the tent. Four hours of wrestling with it in the heat later, I hated camping. Next, the adventure holiday for single-parent families. The abseiling and caving were brilliant, but sleeping in a bunk bed ruined my back.

They're known as 'man's best friend', but dogs may be especially beneficial company for women. A new study reveals how pooches have an extraordinary anti-ageing effect on ladies. According to the authors, spending just one hour per week with a dog slows a key indicator of cellular ageing known as 'telomere length'. For women, dogs may be a cheap and effective form of treatment to help reduce the physical toll of stress and improve cellular health, say the experts.

When I was about 15 and walking my gran's new small rescue dog, I saw a group of my friends, including a slightly older boy I fancied. I walk up and start chatting with the group about our new furry family member and his tragic history. This lad I liked thought it would be the height of fun at that moment to lunge at the dog.

Three new laws will implement more stringent health and transparency rules in the sale of cats, dogs and rabbits including prohibiting pet sales by brokers in an effort to stop the flow of animals coming from out-of-state breeding operations into California, according to a news release from the California State Legislature. The three bills collectively known as the Stop The Puppy Mill Pipeline legislative package, titled for the infamous dog-breeding operations were signed into law Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A team of researchers at Nestle Purina PetCare decided to investigate litter boxes as records of behavior: the pre-squat scratch, the whirl, the precise geometry of the bury. The scientists built a painstaking dictionary of these gesturesa full ethogram, or catalog, of species-specific behaviorsand then identified the distinct moves in feline bathroom habits: grooming, digging, sniffing litter. We landed on 39 different behaviors that cats do in a litter box,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your cat is not drinking enough water. An easy way to remedy this is by getting a pet water fountain. They require a bit more maintenance; you'll need to take it apart, clean regularly, and change filters monthly, but this is well worth it for the health benefits. The majority of cats are chronically dehydrated.

Photographer Tim Flach's new book is unusually personal: it includes images not only of his cata regal orange-and-white former barn kitten named Lokibut also of his brain, thanks to MRI scans gathered as he looked at cute images. The photographer has dedicated previous books to horses, dogs and endangered speciesand shot photos of songbirds for Scientific Americanbut had been hesitant to take on the notoriously uncooperative felines. My publishers from day one have been wanting me to do a cat book, Flach says.
