Are You Feeding Your Cat The Right Food?
What should you feed your cat to make sure he or she will have the necessary nutrition? What is the ideal mix of food to help your cat live to the limit of it’s life span?
To answer these questions, one should look at the diet of a feline in it’s natural habitat. In the wild, a cat eats almost exclusively animal tissue. However, they would normally eat the entire body of the animal,including it’s stomach contents, which has many nutrients that are simply lacking in an animals muscle tissue.
Another question some cat owners have is: Is fresh meat the best possible food for cats? Not necessarily. Fresh meat will not provide a balanced diet for a cat, as they are extremely protein dense while being very low in vital nutrients such as calcium.
Conversely, some cat owners have asked, “Is it alright to feed my cat a completely vegetarian diet?” The

Save Your Dog’s Life – Train Him!
Common sense is the key when training your dog to come to you on command. Many of us, at some point in our dog-owning life, are guilty of swatting or scolding your dog after he gets away from you. Why? It happens most likely out of frustration, or embarrassment of looking like a crazy person trying to out-run their dog. By punishing your dog for running away, training him to come on command will be all the more difficult. Think about it, if you called him and called him, then chased him down and finally he comes, you then reward him with negativity by yelling at him or swatting him. Your dog is not stupid – do you think he will come to you again the next time, when he knows how he’ll be greeted? Take it from personal experience – dogs are all about positive reinforcement!

Sand Fleas
Sand fleas are one of the most dangerous species of fleas commonly found in the North Pacific region. They are the parasitic crustaceans who attach themselves to the flesh and scale of the other water creatures, and then eat the creatures they are attached to. Various water creatures who are the common targets of these sand fleas are small fish, swordfish, sunfish, flying fish, starfish, and even whales.
The size of the sand fleas can vary in size from as small as a small grain of sand to three or four times larger. Their attack is localized, as one part of the host can be seen to be severely affected by these fleas, while other parts show no damage.
As a first step of their predation on the host’s body, sand fleas first appear to feed off their outer layer of slime. Then the fleas slowly eat away the top layer of

The Importance of Chew Toys for My Chinchilla and Rodents
Chinchillas, like all rodents, need to chew. It keeps your teeth short and healthy since they don’t stop growing. There is a variety of material, shapes and flavors of things for them to chew on. Switching it up from time to time and giving your pet a variety of chew toys can make it a little more fun for them. I have noticed that through past experiences with rodent pets of both myself and friends, and with my current chinchilla, they enjoy both soft and hard things to chew.
My chinchilla will chew anything. This is important to note if you ever let your own chinchilla or rodent out of his/her cage to have some fun. You have to be careful of the environment they are in. My chinchilla has chewed through two electric wires. She has chewed on numerous furniture, books, and paper. It’s not that I don’t watch her

Dog Breeds : Afghan Hound
The Afghan originated in an area along the Afghan border with Iran known as Seistan. Obviously from the same stock as the other Middle East gazehounds, the Afghan changed to better do its job- coursing gazelle and leopard in the cold, mountainous terrain of Afghanistan. Its primary difference from the other coursing dogs is its long coat, which was developed to insulate the dog from the cold and protect it from scrapes as it hunted on rocky slopes.
English soldiers returning home from the Afghan war brought these beautiful dogs home with them at the turn of the twentieth century. The first Afghans were registered in the American stud book in 1927.
BODY TYPE:
An exotic appearing coursing dog of great athletic ability. The slim, muscular body is wrapped in a long glamorous coat. Height: 25-29 inches (at shoulder) Weight: 50-60 pounds Hanging ears are not altered Long tapering tail,
