It’s a great day of festivities for us, however we should try to keep our pets away from those loud noises of firecrackers as much as possible. Most of us are not aware of the fact [...]
RAWHIDE CHEW: TREAT OR CARCINOGEN?
- Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:34:02 +0000Here’s the deal: rawhide is literally the outside of a cow – the skin. Rawhide is not regulated in any way. Some imported brands (China, Philippines) have been reported as soaked in formaldehyde or contaminated with arsenic. These foreign hides may also contain other detrimental things such as antibiotics, insecticides, or lead- things you’d never [...]

- Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:57:06 +0000As often is the case, we will have the horrible knowledge that it is just a matter of time before we have to make the choice of putting our pets to sleep. It is both a blessing and a curse. The one good thing is that we can really focus on quality time. We [...]

What will happen to the animals during this financial crisis?
- Wed, 27 May 2009 18:40:33 +0000In this current economic climate, the animals are suffering just as much as their humans.

We at the National Canine Cancer Foundation believe
we are years, not decades, away from cures
and new treatments for canine Cancer.
We believe that the science is there waiting for us.
Canine Cancer affects one out of every three dogs. Of those, over half of them will die of cancer. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is asking for your help to fund important research grants that are working towards improving those statistics. Through a major project funded by the National Institute of Health, the mapping of the genome sequence of the dog has been complete. Knowing the mapping of every gene in the dog, gives researchers an advantage not yet achieved in humans.
We are closer than ever to a cure, now is the time to beat this cancer!
If we all work together, WE ARE THE CURE.
