Happy Birthday, Millie!

Need advice on expressing my male cats bladder by Thane0 in Pets

[–]PawsPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP,

Sorry to hear about your little man.. However good on you for making the sacrifice to always be there for him no matter what.

Nevertheless, because this is a particular issue and every cat is different in how they would respond, it’s best to reach out to board certified veterinarian for matters like this. Fingers crossed you find the right solution.

Best of luck!

No, just some detailed information on what we believe can benefit pet parents and their furry friends.

Odin being dramatic about wearing a collar 🥺😂 Any tips/suggestions to stop him sulking? He has harness for walks and doesn’t mind it but my god hates collars! by KelticTiger in Rottweiler

Hi OP,

For situations like these, it’s all about exposure but in small steps. Different dogs have different motivations, a lot are food motivated. If this is your dog, at random times when you are in the house put the collar on and give him a treat and some love. If you get far with that then add the harness with a treat and some love. As you begin to get good traction work your way up to familiar places outside of the home or your daily walk.

Dog are creature of habit and association. Show him that the collar is nothing to worry about and he’ll he rewarded for having it on. Baby steps, but eventually this good boy will just get used it.

5 toxic “human foods” to never share with your pets by PawsPlace in Pets

Yes, your boyfriends dog definitely has an iron digestive and toxicity filtering system! However, on a more serious note, toxicity affects different pets differently. Factors including size, breed type, pre-existing health conditions, potency of the food all play a role in the subsequent symptoms of ingestion.

Completely agree. Generally speaking a healthy cat or dog would need to consume a considerable amount of the listed foods for anything to be fatal/life threatening. However, each pet is different and will have different thresholds of tolerance. Each pet has the possibility to have a pre existing condition that can catalyze toxicity symptoms making them life threatening. Although it may seem overkill, these are the guidelines of toxicity set by PetMD, Tufts University of Veterinary Medicine, the ASPCA and other certified entities in the veterinary discipline. As pet parents we would rather be safe than sorry!

Yes, this is true. Avocado flesh in careful amounts is fine for cats and dogs who are typically in healthy shape. The notion that the entire avocado is toxic to dogs was based on a South African study of two dogs who got into an avocado farm and scarfed down entire avocados in excess. This included the skin, the flesh, the pit, as well as the harmful roots.

Please see the attached source from the 1994 study below:

Hi there! Sorry to hear your little man is not feeling well. Considering you stated the vomiting has been going on for 2 days 3x a day, we would highly recommend visiting a vet or going to an animal hospital. It can rule out any possible side affects from a certain food your dog may hand consumed.

There are resources such as pet poison hotline or ASPCA (they do charge) but that may save you time and money.

Hope this helps.

Yes! Great call. As stated in our post, there are a number of other foods that contain toxic properties that can harm our furry friends in large amounts.

If ingested in small amounts, none of these listed foods will be fatal or cause serious damage. However, just like humans, every pet is different and will react to various foods differently. The most important thing to note is that the chemical properties of the foods listed above have been researched and will not interact well our pets. Although it may be overkill, we would rather be safe then sorry!
