Dog With Separation Anxiety Can’t Wait For His Owner To Be Home Every Day
Separation anxiety doesn’t just affect humans, it can affect our pets as well. No one knows this better than the family of a Peruvian dog who patiently waits for his owner to return home – all day, sometimes into the night. The dog, named Toby, suffers from separation anxiety, and he can hardly handle it when his owner leaves for work each morning. The poor pup will sit on the balcony and watch his companion walk away. Then, he’ll stay there, keeping an eye on the last place he saw his owner. He waits all day, looking for...

How clean is your pets’ air?
Standard air filters are a subpar option for man’s best friend. Here’s how one company is improving the health of dogs and cats by adequately cleaning the air they breathe! Given that everyone in your family (including your dog or cat) breathes at least 20,000 times a day, there’s really nothing more important than air quality. Unfortunately, when we inhale, we don’t just take in vital oxygen – we also end up inhaling contaminants, dust, viruses, and other harmful substances. Our bodies must work harder than...

With social distancing guidelines relaxing, many organizations are beginning to relaunch short-term foster programs.
