If you want to turn an outdoor cat into an indoor cat the first thing that you’ll have to do is teach him to use the litter box. This actually can be easier than you think. Cats are naturally inclined to go in sand or fine particles.  The first thing that you should do is confine your cat to a room with no absorbent surfaces other than his litter box.  Give him lots of attention and get some cat toys so that you could play with him as much as you can. When he starts to use the litter box regularly, give him more and more time outside of the room but make sure that you watch him closely.  Eventually, you will want to put another litter box in the place where you really want the box to stay. The location is key. Make sure that the box is in a quiet, easy to access place away from the cat’s food and water. Make sure that you wait for your cat to use the new litter box before you remove the first one.

Remember, your pets count.

If your cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease, add Astro’s Oil to his treatment. Kidney disease is not curable but could be controlled to a certain extent. Astros Oil helps sustain life and improves life quality. Find out how here: Astros Oil.com

Develop a Schedule for Feeding Your Dog

Saturday, January 30, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

When it comes to feeding your dog, the first step is to determine the correct quantity of food to give him in order to maintain a healthy weight. Next, it’s critical that you establish a routine. Offering your pet meals at the same time every day can promote digestive health and regular bowel movements. For dog owners, this can add up to predictable walk times.  Your pet will also feel more secure knowing that meals come at regular intervals and this security can create a stronger bond.  Knowing when your dog will be hungry can also be used to plan a training session.  Part of your pets meal allotment can be offered as rewards instead of dog treats. Dietary changes should be made gradually to help reduce upsets and unpleasant surprises. Remember, your pets count!

Cats with Very Sensitive Stomachs

Friday, January 29, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

It’s called inflammatory bowel disease, or irritable bowel syndrome but it’s just plain stomach trouble. My cat Atlantis ahs an extremely sensitive stomach.  This is not a happy time for a cat with a sensitive stomach or for the people who care for the cat. Chronic vomiting and diarrhea  can have a lot of different causes.  If any of these symptoms are occurring, get your cat to the vet for a diagnosis. Your vet might recommend a change of diet. If your cat is overly sensitive to any kind of protein, many pet companies are aware of this and offer specially formulated diets that contain easy to digest rice and egg protein. Sensitive stomach is not at all uncommon with cats, and fortunately, it’s almost always manageable.

Remember, your pets count!

If your cat has been diagnosed with feline kidney disease add Astros Oil products to their daily regimen. Find out all about the benefits of Astros Oil from their website, Astros Oil.com.

Keeping Your Calm Home When You’re Not Home

Wednesday, January 27, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

There are times when we have to leave our pets with a sitter or family member. Cats are creatures of routine and it’s always best to keep them at home while you’re gone, with a sitter of course. Cats feeling the absence of their owners will need extra attention and  reassurance. It’s best to have someone that your cat is familiar with stay with her while you’re gone.  While you’re gone, try not to make any more changes to her routine. Make sure that the sitter, feeds her at the same time and in the same place each day. Make sure her litter is kept clean. It’s a good idea to leave some of your clothing around for her to lie on. She will feel more secure being near something with your scent on it. When you arrive back home, you will be re-assured that your cat was not stressed and kept calm and content the whole time that you were gone. Of course, she did miss you although your she might not be at the door waiting!

Remember, your pets count!

If your cat has feline kidney disease, add Astro’s Oil to their daily regimen. Find out all about Astro’s Oil from their website” Astros Oil.com.

Kidney disease is a serious health problem for cats and dogs. Giving your pet supplements may help ward off real problems.  Omega 3 fatty acids are the best for protecting your pets against kidney disease. If your cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease, the best product that I would always recommend is Astros Oil. Astro’s Oil is a natural product developed by a doctor in Canada. The doctor targeted inflammatory mechanisms that advance kidney disease and at the same time neutralizes free radicals that attack kidney tissue triggering the inflammatory response in the first place. The challenge was to combine the results of this diverse research into a formula designed to arrest, and hopefully reverse the progression of  kidney disease.

The process took awhile but Astro’s Oil was finally developed. It reduces inflammation and neutralizes those free radicals. The result, a much better quality life for your cat as well as a prolonged life. Both of my cats were on Astro’s Oil and the results were really satisfying. My cat Atlantis currently takes it everyday and I couldn’t live without it. The result, weight gain, better appetite and a generally much happier, healthier life.

You can read all about the story behind Astro’s Oil from their website and order online. Even though kidney disease is not curable, you can slow down it’s process significantly.  Follow your Vet’s advice and take your cat for regular check ups but get him on Astro’s Oil right away!

Monday, January 25, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

Rumors have been circulating about whether or not you can give Covid 19 to your pet or get Covid 19 from a pet. The CDC has put together some facts that may clarify this situation.

What you need to know
  • A small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, have been reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.
  • Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.
  • It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations.
  • Treat pets as you would other human family members – do not let pets interact with people outside the household.
  • If a person inside the household becomes sick, isolate that person from everyone else, including pets.
  • This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available.

A Cats Protein Needs

Sunday, January 24, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

A cat needs twice as much protein as a dog. Cats also require about 20 different kinds of amino acids to make their own body protein and those amino acids come from protein in food. What ‘s the best source of protein for your cat ,chicken, beef or fish? The truth is that any and all sources of protein are good for your cat. Commercial pet foods contain at least 30% protein from a variety of sources to more than meet your cats needs. If your cat eats quality foods,  you can give him beef one day, chicken the next and fish the next. All are great sources of  protein.

Remember, your pets count.

Taking the Right Steps to Find a Lost Dog

Friday, January 22, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

Yesterday as I was taking my stroll on the boardwalk a stray dog come up to me. He looked so scared and I felt helpless because I didn’t know what to do first. He seemed to have lost his owner right there. I then looked down at the beach and saw two girls looking frantically all around. I then guided the dog down to the beach and low and behold, his tail began to wag and he ran toward them. They were so relieved and happy to see him. I felt relieved and continued my walk. That was simple but lots of pets are lost for days or weeks at a time!

Loosing a pet can be one of the most stressful experience that one can experience. We have a tendency to panic and don’t know what to do first. Here are ten quick tips. Print this blog out and keep it handy in case your dog gets lost.

1. Don’t waste time!  In the first two hours, get as many people as you can involved in your search. Ask any family, friends and any neighbor you see to search around town and up to a three-mile radius of the location where the dog was last seen.

2. Search  the neighborhood by foot. Create flyers to hand out and/or staple to telephone poles so that your information is readily available and easy to share. Put a photo (preferably color) of your dog on these cards or print out some images of your dog separately to accompany your information cards. Give these cards to anyone you encounter during this first search.

3.   Bring along your dog’s favorite toy of some other noise that he is familiar with. This will make him come when he hears it.

4.  Bring along another friendly dog companion if possible.

5. While you’re out searching, have someone else make phone calls to your local Humane Society, animal shelters, rescues, vets, and police departments. 

6. Create an ad with a recent picture of your dog. Describe the dog so that an average person would recognize him/her if they saw the dog. Include identifying information about him/her like his collar, dog tags, tattoo, identifying features like scars or unusual coloration or microchip ID number.

7. Intensify the search after your dog has been missing for 24 hours. Make at least 200 photocopies of your ad.  Start posting them on bulletin boards, super markets, telephone poles and in other highly visible areas.

8. Take “found” calls with a grain of salt. There could be some unethical people trying to take advantage. Ask key questions but don’t waste your time if you’re not getting anywhere.

9. After two days, extend your search.

  • Go a little further by vehicle and start spreading the word to local mail carriers, UPS and Fed Ex drivers, joggers, runners, bikers and anyone else walking around the search areas.
  • Continue using strong ad messages to spread and expand your search.
  • Expand the radius of your search area by several miles. Call shelters even beyond the area you think your dog could have reached.
  • Visit the animal shelters and rescue leagues to look for your pet every other day. Don’t expect volunteers to recognize one brown dog from another. If the dog is a dirty, matted mess that lost weight, you may have trouble identifying your own pet. Ask if there is a quarantine area or an area where injured animals are kept in case your dog is separated from those shown to the public.
  • Check the “found” ads in they newspaper each day your pet is lost.
  • Check online databases of lost and found dogs.

10. Stay positive. Dogs have been reunited with their owners even after a year or more.DOG FOUND

Doggie Hot Spots

Thursday, January 21, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

What is a hot spot?

A Hot Spot, also known as Acute Moist Dermatitis, is an open sore that is hot, moist, and red. These painful spots on your dog arise from incessant licking, chewing, and scratching the affected area. This type of ailment is very sensitive, painful to the touch and your dog may lose his hair in this area. Just about any irritation to your dog’s skin, paws, hips, chest, or other areas that causes him to lick, scratch, or bite, to gain relief, may lead to the development of a hot spot. For example, something so seemingly harmless such as an insect bite, a small nick, cut or small wound may cause itchiness or irritation to your dog and he will, in turn, compulsively, obsessively lick that area until it is raw.  It’s what dogs do!

Hot spots may begin innocently as small, wet-looking areas but they can grow in size rapidly to look like big, red open sores.  At this point bacterial infections develop quickly and the cycle begins.

There are lots of ways to control hot spots. Your Vet may recommend specific products like Banixx to help control these painful spots that may appear on your dog. Pay close attention to your dog’s licking and chewing and don’t let the issue get out of hand.

Remember your pets count!

If you have a cat that has been diagnosed with Feline Kidney disease, there are some things that you could do to slow it’s progress. I’ve added Astro’s Oil to my cat’s daily regimen.  Astro’s oil is a natural product that was invented by a doctor in Canada. There are several products that help slow the progress of this disease, prolong life and improve life quality. Find out all about Astro’s Oil from this website: Astrosoil.com.
