Apartment Marketing Plan -What You Should Know - (USA)
by Jamal Crane Any renter who has got a pet knows exactly how difficult it is to find a pet-friendly apartment complex that would welcome them with open arms. And that is just too bad because the situation can very easily be remedied with a three-word policy: Responsible Pet Ownership. Landlords who advertise apartments which are vacant do not always designate that their apartment marketing plan does not include or, more strongly, does not allow occupancy by tenants with pets. However, that

Looking to welcome a new dog into your home, but not sure which breed is right for you? There are several factors to take into consideration when making your decision. With so many breeds to choose from, you’re bound to find one that is perfect for you. The amount of space you have will help you narrow down your choice of breeds. If you have a house with plenty of space, you can get a medium or large breed such as a Springer Spaniel or Great Dane. If you live in an apartment, you’ll be bett

Poison prevention for pets - (USA)
by Cheryl L. True Every year, large numbers of pets undergo surgery due to accidental poisoning. With a few safety precautions, you can prevent your pet from becoming a statistic. Even the most innocent of substances can poison your pet. These include onions, coffee grounds because of their high caffeine content, chocolate and even bread dough. Plants are a prime target for many pets. Always keep houseplants in areas where your pet won’t have access to them. Take note that many plants we

“G-Force” could lead to surge in guinea pigs - (USA)
Animal shelters, already swamped with dogs and cats, are bracing for an onslaught of guinea pigs as a result of the new Disney movie “G-Force.” The movie depicts a squad of specially trained, guinea pig spies coming to the world’s rescue. But, says the Associated Press , it may end up being real-life guinea pigs who need rescuing. Some guinea pig rescue groups, fearing a surge in guinea pig surrenders, already have posted pleas to the public to think twice before buying a guinea pig on

linklings, the next house edition - (USA)
Another week’s gone by, with big movements for the Blap family. We found a house we liked here in Florida, put in an offer and are sitting around (Saturday evening) wondering about whether it will be accepted or not. It’s an odd feeling – you’ve found a place you like and you want to know whether it’s going to be your home or not, based on your (to your perception) perfectly reasonable offer. It’s odd to move to a new area, and suddenly find that jobs are easier to find, nice housing is easie

Guinea pigs keep low profile - (USA)
Our guinea pigs had two homes. They had their hutch on the concrete terrace and their run on the grass. Holly used to go between the two on her motorbike - often Daisy would ride pillion. Occasionally Daisy would use her chauffeur driven car. It was difficult to keep track of which home was their primary home what with the furniture vans arriving all the time and unloading chandeliers and top range chew toys. But I sort of expected them to keep their own accounts and not take things too

An Ounce of Python Prevention - (USA)
“Swamp Things,” a fascinating article by Burkhard Bilger in the April 20 issue of The New Yorker , describes how the exotic pet industry has helped transform the state of Florida into “a biological cesspool of introduced life.” As fads of exotic birds, reptiles, and primates have come and gone, nonnative species have established themselves in the wild—transported by hurricanes or deliberately set loose by their owners. As Bilger explains: On a single tree you could conceivably find plants

Sorry; guinea-pig’s off - (USA)
A nonsensical campaign by an apparently American animal-rights outfit, which is outraged that people should consider eating guinea-pigs, reported by Metro . On Wikipedia it says: They originated in the Andes, and studies based on biochemistry and hybridization suggest they are domesticated descendants of a closely related species of cavy such as Cavia aperea, C. fulgida or C. tschudii, and therefore do not exist naturally in the wild.[1][2] The guinea pig plays an important role in the f

Guide To Responsible Pet Ownership - (USA)
From insects to alpacas, pets come in all shapes and sizes. Many families feel that they are not complete without some little (or large) critter to love. In fact, more than 60% of all American households have pets, and many of those have more than one. If you are considering buying or adopting a new pet, you need to make sure that you are already to take on the demands of a furry (or scaly) companion.

Are Pet Stores seeing a 101 Dalmatian Effect after G-Force? - (USA)
Every time a dog movie comes out pet stores inevitably report that adoptions of that particular breed go up. Then a few months later they experience heavier than usual returns when families realize what a chore that breed is. In the biz it’s called 101 Dalmatians Effect. When I heard Disney was making a movie with Guinea Pigs as the star, I wondered if pet stores would experience a similar on the pint sized pets. At least one paper, the SF Weekly , is now reporting that Disney’s G-Force is ha

How to Care for Guinea Pigs - (USA)
We mentioned earlier that there are concerns the G-Force film will make more kids want guinea pigs as pets. Debbye Turner Bell talked to Maggie Rodriguez from the CBS Early Show about how to properly care for pet guinea pigs. Debbye Turner Bell says guinea pigs are not good for small children and can require more care than cats. The cage requires daily cleaning which makes them a high maintenance pet.

Giant Boobs, Dead Radio Shows, Guinea Pigs - (USA)
Roughly 12 years ago, City Paper wrote a story about “Frances and the Working Girls,” a radio show starring a buxom woman (that would be Frances above) and mostly lady correspondents. It was sort of like the Daily Show, but on AM radio and with boobs. Sadly (I think?) it went off the air about two years later. Its home, WRC-AM 980, is also no longer with us (neither, it would seem, is the story in our somewhat lacking digital archives for 1996). Recently, I caught up with one of the correspon

After Taking Guinea Pigs Home? - (USA)
Aug11 freetrafficFirst Days At HomeIt seems quite pleasing to grab your charming guinea pig and keep it in your hold during first few days, after you have brought it home. However, he needs some time to become habitual to his new setting, for it is a new spot for him. You must let them adjust to the new atmosphere, for he gets tense and stress in their new home. Therefore, loud noises and occasional peeping should be avoided at all costs. You should let him have his time to become habitual of t

Home Remedies for Mange - (USA)
Home Remedies for MangeWhen it comes to cats and dogs, there is a distinct difference between a ratty, scruffy coat and one that is plagued by mange. The latter is caused by miniscule mites and cannot be cured with a simple bubble bath. Animals with mange need immediate attention because the condition is life threatening when left untreated. If your pet’s coat is looking uncharacteristically shabby, you may want to become familiar with the symptoms and home remedies for mange. What is Mange? An

Myostatin blocking gene therapy to be introduced for dogs; when will the first human athlete abuse i - (USA)
Prof Lee Sweeney of the University of Pennsylvania will be behind the introduction of a gene therapy approach to treat aged dogs who suffer muscular weakness. Apparently elderly dogs who become progressively weaker (this is generally called old age) need treatments so their owners can take the canines on walks. The therapy involves the injection of a genetically modified myostatin inhibitor that produces incredible muscular hypertrophy; the injection goes into the animal's liver. Once this g
