Kitten Adopted By Pitbull Owners Thinks She’s One Of The Dogs
A tiny rescue kitten adopted into a home of pit bulls loves doing everything with her canine brothers – even the stuff “cats” don’t usually do, like camping! Wasabi’s owners were already the parents of two rescue pitties, Keiko and Niko, when they welcomed the little kitten into the family, and truth be told, they weren’t initially planning to grow their family. Their mom explained on Instagram that while her husband loves cats, she’s more of a dog person. Their family was a nice size and she...
Dug Up at Dogster: January 2023 Dog Events and Dog Holidays
The New Year, well, more specifically, the days leading up to the New Year is my favorite time. I’m not overly focused on setting concrete goals or making grand New Year’s resolutions that end up feeling unattainable by March. What I enjoy is the self-reflection about what I did during 2022 that was enjoyable or worthwhile and what I’d like to carry over or tweak in 2023. Last year, my rescue Emmy, pictured above partying hard in her 2023 glasses, injured her back. It forced our family to slow down, relax and give Emmy the...

Great High Fiber Dog Foods
While dogs have no physiological need for carbohydrates, they can benefit from having fiber in their diets. Fiber is a complex carbohydrate found in plants with both soluble and insoluble fiber matter. Is fiber healthy for dogs? Insoluble fiber passes through the body mostly unchanged and it helps bulk up the fecal matter to stimulate the body’s elimination process. The increased bulk also helps the anal glands function normally and reduces the risk of impaction. Dr. Gary Richter, Founder of Ultimate Pet Nutrition, says feeding higher...

Sleeping Cat Blocks Commuters By Napping On Transit Card Scanner
If there’s one thing we know about cats, it’s the fact that they are willing to sleep anywhere, as long as it is comfortable. They often don’t even care what is going on around them, they just want to get a nap in. We often see evidence of this in our home but it seems as if they do this when they are out and about as well. In Turkey, a commuter named Aditya S. Rahman showed us evidence of this in a video that she posted on Instagram. Photo: Instagram/@adityarahman_38 Rahman was trying to scan her pass to enter the transit...
