There are several different types of flea, but by far the most common is Ctenocephalides felis felis, also known as the cat flea. Though it is called the cat flea, it is the species most often found on dogs as well. Unless your pet has a severe infestation, he/she is probably not bothered by the odd flea, unless he/she has a flea allergy. However, since these unpleasant insects also bite humans we are, not surprisingly, somewhat intolerant of them. This article discusses how to tell whether your pet has fleas and, if they do, how to eliminate them from your house.It is not always obvious when your pet has a flea problem. You may see an adult flea crawling around on your pets skin, especially if they...

Dental disease is the most common problem seen in our pet population today. More than 85% of all dogs and cats presented to veterinarians are affected by dental problems. Periodontal disease is what causes bad breath and eventual tooth loss; it can also lead to other severe problems such as kidney, liver or heart disease. The reason for this is that periodontal disease causes pockets of infection to form at the root of the tooth; this infection gets into the blood stream and travels to other organs in the body such as the kidneys, liver and...

From the time we bring them home as wriggling bundles of joy, we all want our puppies to live forever. As they bond with us and grow into full fledged family members, we tend not to think about the end of their life or how many precious years we have with our canine friends. However, when picking out our new puppy it is rare that we give adequate consideration to the average lifespan of the dog. There are distinct factors that play into whether our puppy will be with us until our children graduate from high school or if they give us a few good years. Most experts agree that small breeds tend to outlive large breeds. The general rule of thumb is the larger the dog the shorter the life span. Large...

The promise is the same everywhere. Buy our patented seeds at twice the price of others, buy our chemical fertilizers and pesticides and you will prosper like the government subsidized American farmers. These corporate parasites know how to sell in any language. The cost of the promised prosperity which seldom occurs without government subsidy and requires annual borrowing, as with American farming, is more than a poor farmer can afford. But corporate greed convinces him to gamble his future and his life on false corporate hope.Working hand in glove with the corporate scum are the local money lenders, sometimes taking 5% interest per month and sometimes the entire harvest if drought or floods do not...

Have you ever wondered who first figured out what man should and should not eat? I mean, at some point near the beginning of time, there must have been someone who sat down on a rock and decided that man should eat cows, but not crocodiles; that he should devour pigs and chickens and fish, but not lions and tigers and bears. Who was this prehistoric Galloping Gourmet and what was his connection to the "Wizard of Oz?" Unfortunately, we'll probably never know.If early man was anything like his modern-day counterpart, it's a pretty safe bet that only those animals that were easy to catch and didn't try to eat you in return were put on the edibles list. Though early man is thought to have had a brain...

Raising a puppie into a dog can be a very rewarding experience. It is like seeing a family member grow up, but in fast motion. Of course, I am talking about dogs not people. My wife, Barbara, and I raise Yorkies and Maltese and tend to think of them sometimes as family members. Except, these guys never need to borrow the car keys or stay out too late.This morning, we had a litter of six Yorkies born. Both of us were on hand to help the mother. Most of the time, a mother dog doesn't really need any help, but sometimes there are problems. I cut the umbilical cords and tie them with dental floss. The mother dog would ordinarily chew the umbilical cords into by herself. With some breeds, such...

Pets become an important part of our lives once we begin to live with them. These animals become family members, giving us support in an inexplicable manner that might only be interpreted by the psychoanalysts and psychologists.

An associate shared this heart-rending story with me about his pet and I'll repeat it here in his own words.I had the most lovely Rotweiler female dog. She was about two years old when I bought her. She had a strong personality, but was sweet, loving and affectionate to me. I named her Snoopy. She was a career watch dog. I kept her on a long tether line attached to a strong steel post. Every day she would go for a long walk with me.When I moved to a more rural setting she had her own fenced off yard, to play in. Life was good. She loved to go for walks on the mountain side behind where we lived. Snoopy's world was one of smell. She loved to go sniffing in a ground squirrel's burrow. She...

Food is a substance that holds cultures together. Common foods unify and define countries and regions. However, a food that one group considers a delicacy, another group may find offensive. The French have long been called "frogs" because of their taste for the amphibians.
