]]>Vomiting is a body mechanism in dogs that helps to get rid of poisonous foods. Sometimes, dogs chew grass and other weird stuff to vomit if they feel like something is disturbing their stomachs. With plant poisoning, the vomiting is persistent, leaving your dog looking sad and dehydrated.
Naturally, dogs pant when they are excited or when cooling their bodies. However, you may notice your dog is excessively panting. It can be a sign of plant poisoning, which increases its temperatures to uncomfortable levels. Your dog pants a lot as it tries to get rid of that temperature and may seem restless.
If you notice a change in your dog’s feces, something is definitely not right. When plant poisoned, dogs can get diarrhea, leaving them looking fatigued, sickly, and dehydrated. It can happen a few minutes after ingesting the poisonous plant, or hours before it starts showing so pay close attention to that.

]]>Start by going on walks or running errands without your pet. Mix things up and vary your pattern so your pet doesn’t pick up on departure cues like the sound of keys or putting shoes on, and get anxiety from you leaving. Try not to get them all hyped up when you leave or come back.
Have a crate available for your dog so when they get anxious, they have a space they can go to. For cats, they like quiet, dark spaces, that are remote from the busy areas of the home. Cats like areas that they can have all for themselves.
Keep your pets occupied when you’re away with feeding puzzles, special treats, and toys.
If your pet is showing anxiety by barking, engaging in destructive behavior, urinating, or over-grooming, don’t punish them. Instead speak to your vet for recommendations.

]]>One way to deal with loneliness and isolation is to bring home a furry friend. Cats, for those who are not allergic of course, can be lifelong friends. Caring for a cat is not very complex, as they are a relatively independent pet that needs mostly food, clean water, a clean litterbox, and lots of cuddles.
Cats are great hunters and can also help you keep your home free of cockroaches, mice, and mosquitoes.
Some studies have shown that having a cat at home can reduce stress and anxiety, and that petting a cat releases hormones that make us feel good and relaxed.
Of course, a pet is a big responsibility. Think carefully if you are ready for it, as cats have great difficulty with changes and may suffer considerably if you give them away after a short time.
Of course, you should have good chemistry with the cat you have chosen to bring home since a cat is also a roommate and not just a pet.

]]>Adopt don’t stop. By adopting a pet from the shelter, you’re saving it from being one of more than three million cats and dogs euthanized each year. In regards to reducing the pet population, make sure you spay or neuter your pet.
Most pet foods are meat-based, so try and get your pet minimally processed foods that contain meat from locally raised animals and organic vegetables.
U.S. landfills overflow with non-biodegradable bags containing dog waste and cat litter and the dust from cat litter can be carcinogenic. Try and get biodegradable litter made from recycled materials and biodegradable bags for your dog’s waste.
You can get pet supplies made from organic or recycled materials. Or you can make your own toys from recycled crafts and objects you have lying around your home.
For pet gear or toys your furry friend no longer uses, donate it to local shelters. Also, many shelters have food banks that are for donations of unopened bags or canned food to shelters, which help people feed their pets if they’re going through difficult financial times.

]]>Cats are naturally low maintenance compared to dogs. They require very little training, tend to be quiet and take care of their own business. Cats are a great choice for those who live busy lives and may not be able to commit to a dog’s needs.
Many people turn to cats to help them deal with a number of struggles including depression and anxiety. To some people, petting a warm cat is more calming than anything else.

]]>Most of us love aloe plants and we use these gorgeous succulents for decorating our homes. Not to mention that Aloe Vera is widely known for its numerous health and beauty benefits. Unfortunately, this plant is toxic to our furry friends, so make sure to keep it out of their reach.

]]>One of the first signs that something is wrong with your pet is the absence of appetite. If this happens, go to the vet first to rule out toothache or other health problems. If your pet doesn’t want food, not even their favorite treats, it’s probably suffering emotionally.
Avoiding contact with humans and other pets and turning to loneliness can be a clear sign of depression. This is especially true for cats, who will close up emotionally if they’re unwell.
If your pet suddenly doesn’t have any will to play, you can be pretty sure that the reason is seasonal depression. It’s not easy to spot this when your pet isn’t too playful otherwise, but you can usually tell.
Be patient and gentle with including them in new activities. Try calming routines and new toys. Some extra attention never hurts!

]]>It’s important to take your living arrangements into consideration before anything else. Your pet will be spending a lot of time at home, so a city apartment may not be a great option for a dog, especially a dog that requires often walking. Cats are typically a better choice here because they can entertain themselves all day long if they want, as long as you provide a few toys.
If you live alone and even travel a lot, your dog will get lonely and depressed. That’s why dogs are a better choice for families where someone is at home almost at all times.
If you’re looking forward to taking walks with your pet, you better get a dog. Training a cat and getting it on the leash is not an easy task as they tend to be more independent.
