faster than the humans. I also think they make fun of us, especially when there’s a pack. In this issue, we’re going to give you some excellent tips for establishing a successful new relationship with your adopted pal. Read “Adopting a Dog: Top Tips” for all the details.
Cats can be a little persnickety of course in terms of their personalities, but they are loved the world over. We’ll tell you about three very popular cat breeds and also give you some important catowning advice in “Three Favorite Cat Breeds.” We also give you quick info on a few of the best dog breeds to consider, especially if your family includes kids. See “Top Dog Breeds for Kids and Families” to learn more.
Of course not everyone is into dogs and cats. Some people like guinea pigs and ferrets, and others, snakes and reptiles. If you’re thinking of keeping a snake or reptile like an iguana as a pet, there is a lot of information you need to know before bringing one into your home. Be certain to read “Pet Snakes and Iguanas: Right for You?” to start getting a feel for what can be involved.
Naturally, one of the most difficult pet-related things you have to deal with is when your pet dies. We take a look at that grief and ways to cope in “Grieving the Loss of a Pet.”
We hope you find this issue informative. We look forward to having you join us next time when we focus on Health & Wellness. Until then…
