More Information On Non-Toxic Pet Pest Repellents 14th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
We always have many enquiries on flea and tick repellents for animals. There is also grave concern regarding the many spot-on products available on the market.
This article provides some information which may be useful for all of us.
An excerpt:
Who wants to hear that mysterious compounds with tongue-twister names like “cyphenothrin,” “permethrin,” or “diethylmetatoluamide” (DEET) are in the pesticide you’re about to put on your pet? I certainly don&rs...

Thank You Very Much, Rinny Leong! 13th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
We would like to express our grateful appreciation to Rinny Leong for making the effort to collect tshirt orders from her friends and colleagues. This round, Rinny collected 20 tshirt orders for us and she came all the way to collect them yesterday.
Way back when we started this fund, we were sustained solely by our tshirt sales for the first three years. Sales was really good back then as we sold a lot of tshirts during Wesak, but since two years back, there is no more provision for external b...

A Greek Yoghurt Treat For The Cats 12th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
Believe it or not, I just learnt about Greek yoghurt over Pet Fiesta. Apparently, it’s a much hyped about food these days.
Here’s some information about it: http://health.usnews.com/health-news/diet -fitness/diet/articles/2011/09/30/greek-yogurt-vs- regular-yogurt-which-is-more-healthful
So, I bought Greek yoghurt for the cats (and myself) today. For the cats, I read that yoghurt helps transition them to raw food because it provides healthy bacteria to the gut.
Indy was alread...

Water Tub Saves Strays From Summer Scorcher In Delhi 11th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
With our heatwave over here, will we be needing this too?
http://www.care2.com/causes/tubs-of-water-sav e-strays-from-summer-scorcher.html
INDIA– Every dog in Delhi has a long tongue this morning. It’s over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 C) with four months of blazing summer heat on the way. Finding shade is of massive importance for the stray animals here, but so is the search for clean drinking water. One small rescue team is taking that responsibility very seriously.

The Myth Of The Finicky Cat 11th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
Lots to learn about cats in this article: http://feline-nutrition.org/the-blog s/the-myth-of-the-finicky-cat
One of the questions I get asked most is what to do about a cat that doesn’t want to eat the new raw meat diet you are offering. I hear words like “stubborn” and “finicky.” While that may describe what’s going on, it is from a decidedly human perspective. I think it’s time to delve into a little cat psychology to help us understand what&rsq...

Tabs Eats BARF Too 11th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
When I first brought home the very first pack on Friday night, Tabs ate a meal of BARF but after that, she didn’t want it anymore. Coco & Joe already told me that this happens often – the cat would appear to like it a lot, then goes off it for a few days. It’s quite normal, they said.
Indy appears to be uninterested in BARF since yesterday though he still eats it. Bunny still loves it, but he vomits if he is given too much. Bunny has this vomiting problem whenever he eats ...

Vincent, The Soldier, Is Back In Action!! 11th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
Vincent has been doing very well ever since his tooth extraction and the steroids were administered into his inflamed gums.
I am still amazed at how fast and well he turned around after the surgery.
When I brought home Coco & Joe’s BARF on Friday, Vincent wanted some too, so I gave him some. As it turned out, he loved it so much that he even tried to eat the BARF off the bowls of Daffodil. Today, he went up against Ginger for the BARF.
I read that BARF is good for the immune system as...

Why Feeding Raw And Dry At The Same Time Is Not Encouraged 11th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
We often think that it’s best to mix a little of the new food with the old food to get our animals adjusted gradually to the new food.
Well, when transitioning from dry to raw, this is not encouraged.
Here’s why: http://feline-nutrition.org/answers/answ ers-feed-raw-and-dry-at-the-same-time
If a cat is fed high-carbohydrate food (dry food) at the same time as raw food, the carbohydrates can interfere with the efficient absorption of the nutrients in the raw food, potentially c...
