The FDA Is Struggling To Enact Long Proposed Pet Food Standard Improvements
Do you ever have second thoughts when feeding your pet? Pet food contamination has long been a source of worry for pet owners and health officials.

Nutritional deficiencies and toxins have been found in pet foods as well — including melamine, which has led to multiple pet deaths. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the manufacture of cat food, dog food, and dog treats or snacks you have in...

This Website Makes Pictures Of Cats That Aren’t Real
Technology has taught us many things but I think one of the most profound truths that have been uncovered in the past few decades is just how much people love cats. Of course, we always knew that was the case but having the raw data of just how many people would look at cat pictures and videos really opened our eyes to how pervasive it is. Social media is full of cat pictures and some websites are created just to give us our daily fix of felines. Some of them might even put a unique twist on the subject, including this unique website that has...

Train Employees Help Lost English Bulldog Find His Way Home
As a pet owner, life is always interesting because you never quite know what is going to happen from one day to the next. Perhaps one of the more stressful things that can happen, however, is for our dog to wander off. In many cases, we find them quickly but at times, they may be more difficult to locate. Sampson is one of those dogs who seems to love to wander. About a year ago, he was adopted by Mike Frankow who refers to him as being a “good dog,” according to ABC7.
