Take care of your Senior kitty!

Since I moved away from St Louis and left my friend Kramer behind (since he's a St Louis instituion at Pets in the City), I spend a fair amount of time worrying about him. My man is now 12 years old and considered a Senior. At Pets in the City, we already know what advice to give people that are living with Senior Pets, but it's always good to see it in writing! This is a great article.

I really want to emphasize where they talk about feeding a canned diet. Hard food is really hard on your old guy/gal's kidneys. Switch them over to a raw or a canned regimen! Also, think about distilled water, as opposed to the chemicals that are in tap water.

This is a great article to address recent questions we've had at Pets in the City about the safety of fish from the Gulf used for Pet Food.

Dog's itch is not scratched!

As many of you know, I recently left St Louis to move to Southern Massachusetts. Being the owner of Pets in the City had me spoiled...I had non-stop access to the best pet products around! I tried to foresee what items I would need out here and brought them with me. However, one thing that I forgot was a good shampoo. I had been so used to sneaking my trio into the store after we were closed to give them all baths with my favorite staple: Eqyss Microtek Shampoo. We're having a hard time finding it out here, and my dogs are all itchy and scratchy from the sand fleas at the beach. Help me Eqyss!!! Where are you in Massachusetts?!?! //www.eqyss.com/pet_microtek_shampoo.asp In case people do not already realize this...the Pets in the City pet wash keeps Eqyss on hand for everyone to use freely while giving a self-wash to their pet!

City Chickens?

In the Spring of 2004, Madison, WI passed a law allowing single-family homes the right to raise poultry in the back yard. Previous to this law, poultry was allowed inside the home, but not outside. Coops were not permitted, nor was raising poultry inside the garage. Today it is legal to have 4 hens (no roosters) in a coop, no closer than 25' from the nearest neighbors living quarters....read more

Look into a RAW DIET for your pet!

We spend a lot of time at Pets in the City teaching people the benefits of a Raw Diet for their dogs and cats. For issues such as: skin problems, diabetes, hyper and hypo thyroid, cancer, etc...

And here's what raw-feeding pet owners around the world see in their raw-fed pets:

• Shinier, healthier skin and coats
• Cleaner teeth and fresh breath
• Better weight control
• Improved digestion
• Reduction of allergy symptoms
• Harder, smaller, less smelly stools
• More energy and stamina
• Decrease in abnormal hyperactivity
• Increased mobility in older animals
• Reduced or eliminated need for veterinary dental work

Switching an animal with an existing health problem to a raw diet can often produce an improvement in their conditions. Among healthy animals, a raw diet is likely to help them avoid some of the illnesses that are now becoming common in our companion animals. Regardless of the starting point for your pet, a high quality raw diet will help promote a long and healthy life.
