]]> Canines are good companions and help to brighten any home. Many breeds are curious and playful, but while exploring, they can come across plants, especially flowers that are poisonous to them when ingested. Here is how you can know your dog is having plant poisoning.

Vomiting

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.

Excessive Panting

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.

Diarrhea

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.

]]> After working from home for about a year, many employees are starting to return to the office. While it’s exciting for things to go back to “normal”, you’re pets have gotten used to you working from home and having you around all the time. Before you return to the office, there are things you can do to make your furry friends more comfortable for you when you leave. Here’s how to prepare your pet for when you go back to work.

Leave the House Without Your Pet

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.

Make a Safe Space for Them

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.

Give Them Treats and Toys

Keep your pets occupied when you’re away with feeding puzzles, special treats, and toys.

Talk to the Vet

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.

]]> In the past year, we’ve all been spending more time at home. For some of us, especially if we live alone, the current situation can be very difficult.

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.

]]> We bet you haven’t considered your pets’ impact on the environment. If you’re trying to be more eco-friendly, start by looking at your pet behaviors and their environmental impact. Here are some ways to help your pet be more friendly to the environment.

Adopt 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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CCj18nMJCpr/

Healthy Diets

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8TGCy5J_pm/

Manage Pet’s Waste

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WVm2_Jk9A/

Shop Wisely

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiGXQ1DBNld/

Donate to a Sheter

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.

Find a Vet

Having a good vet that you completely trust is a must for every responsible pet owner. At first, you’ll need him to have your pet microchipped and licensed and then you’ll have annual check-ups and vaccines.

Establish a Bathroom

Find a place where your pet will be using the restroom, so they can easily learn to use a litter box.

Safety Check

Taping down electrical wires, hiding chemicals, ingredients, sharp utensils and other items that can potentially harm your pet is a must before bringing your new pet home.

Animal Supplies

Make sure you have all the necessary supplies before your new pet arrives. That includes food, food bowls, toys, treats, a bed, and any other items your pet needs to lead a happy and fulfilled life.

]]> Whether you’re a dog person or a cat person, there’s no denying the popularity of cats as pets throughout the country. There are nearly 88 million pet cats in America today, compared to 74 million dogs. Here are a few reasons why taking home a kitty may be the right decision for you.

Independent

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.

Emotional Support

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.

Pest Killers

If it’s small and it moves, your cat will catch it. This can help keep your home free from unwanted pests such as mice, cockroaches, and other insects.

Napping Buddies

If you enjoy a lazy weekend watching Netflix, your cat will surely join you. These sleepy creatures tend to sleep from 16-20 hours a day, making them the perfect cuddle partner.

]]> There isn’t a better way to add a bit of color to your home than to decorate with a bunch of colorful indoor plants. However, before you bring these plants into your home, make sure they’re not poisonous to your pets.

Aloe Vera

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BNVewCK_W/

Branching ivy

Branching, or English ivy is a popular houseplant because it’s pretty low-maintenance and also purifies the air. Sadly, this nice plant is toxic to dogs and cats and symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5rvssHgZ-Q/

Philodendron

One of the most popular indoor plants, philodendron is toxic to both dogs and cats. Excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty in swallowing can be signs of potential poisoning, and if you notice any of them take your pet to the vet as soon as possible.

Peace Lily

The peace lily is one of the most adored indoor plants, thanks to its gorgeous white blooms. Don’t let its beauty confuse you and keep it out of reach of your pets because it’s extremely poisonous to cats and dogs.

]]> Just like people, pets can feel the seasonal changes. But unlike people, they don’t have a way to tell us how they feel. Here are some symptoms that will help you understand if your pet is suffering from winter depression.

Bad Appetite

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 Humans

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.

Laziness

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.

How to Help Them?

Be patient and gentle with including them in new activities. Try calming routines and new toys. Some extra attention never hurts!

Truth:  I LOVE living on my own. I have my routine, my way to organize everything, my food in the fridge and the dishwasher is always loaded the way I like. I consider myself pretty fortunate. However, living alone can also be scary even with my pups (and guard cat) but with the @honeywell_home Smart Home Security System in place, I never have to feel unsafe!I With the starter kit along with the outdoor motionviewer, indoor motion sensor and indoor motionviewer I sleep soundly, travel confidently and (THE BEST PART?!) I can check in and see how my fur babies are doing when I'm not home! #realrealityczd it took us close to an hour to pose for this shot!! xoxo and stay safe! #ad #honeywellhome (link in bio)

A post shared by Claire Zinnecker (@clairezinnecker) on

Living Space

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BfsomuRnJK0/

Dogs for Families

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGeR6UlDG0/

Walks Outside

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.

Playful, protective, and reliable — these are three words that perfectly describe one of the most popular dog breeds out there. Just like the Golden Retriever, Labradors are extremely intelligent and need a lot of exercise so make sure your family is up to this challenge.

Find a Vet

Having a good vet that you completely trust is a must for every responsible pet owner. At first, you’ll need him to have your pet microchipped and licensed and then you’ll have annual check-ups and vaccines.

Establish a Bathroom

Find a place where your pet will be using the restroom, so they can easily learn to use a litter box.

Safety Check

Taping down electrical wires, hiding chemicals, ingredients, sharp utensils and other items that can potentially harm your pet is a must before bringing your new pet home.

Animal Supplies

Make sure you have all the necessary supplies before your new pet arrives. That includes food, food bowls, toys, treats, a bed, and any other items your pet needs to lead a happy and fulfilled life.

]]> Whether you’re a dog person or a cat person, there’s no denying the popularity of cats as pets throughout the country. There are nearly 88 million pet cats in America today, compared to 74 million dogs. Here are a few reasons why taking home a kitty may be the right decision for you.

Independent

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.

Emotional Support

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.

Pest Killers

If it’s small and it moves, your cat will catch it. This can help keep your home free from unwanted pests such as mice, cockroaches, and other insects.

Napping Buddies

If you enjoy a lazy weekend watching Netflix, your cat will surely join you. These sleepy creatures tend to sleep from 16-20 hours a day, making them the perfect cuddle partner.

]]> There isn’t a better way to add a bit of color to your home than to decorate with a bunch of colorful indoor plants. However, before you bring these plants into your home, make sure they’re not poisonous to your pets.

Aloe Vera

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.

Branching ivy

Branching, or English ivy is a popular houseplant because it’s pretty low-maintenance and also purifies the air. Sadly, this nice plant is toxic to dogs and cats and symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Philodendron

One of the most popular indoor plants, philodendron is toxic to both dogs and cats. Excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty in swallowing can be signs of potential poisoning, and if you notice any of them take your pet to the vet as soon as possible.

Peace Lily

The peace lily is one of the most adored indoor plants, thanks to its gorgeous white blooms. Don’t let its beauty confuse you and keep it out of reach of your pets because it’s extremely poisonous to cats and dogs.

]]> Just like people, pets can feel the seasonal changes. But unlike people, they don’t have a way to tell us how they feel. Here are some symptoms that will help you understand if your pet is suffering from winter depression.

Bad Appetite

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 Humans

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.

Laziness

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.

How to Help Them?

Be patient and gentle with including them in new activities. Try calming routines and new toys. Some extra attention never hurts!

Truth:  I LOVE living on my own. I have my routine, my way to organize everything, my food in the fridge and the dishwasher is always loaded the way I like. I consider myself pretty fortunate. However, living alone can also be scary even with my pups (and guard cat) but with the @honeywell_home Smart Home Security System in place, I never have to feel unsafe!I With the starter kit along with the outdoor motionviewer, indoor motion sensor and indoor motionviewer I sleep soundly, travel confidently and (THE BEST PART?!) I can check in and see how my fur babies are doing when I'm not home! #realrealityczd it took us close to an hour to pose for this shot!! xoxo and stay safe! #ad #honeywellhome (link in bio)

Living Space

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.

Dogs for Families

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.

Walks Outside

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.
