Read the full article here.
Excerpts:
Eastern vs. Western Explanation of Acupuncture
There’s a difference in the way Eastern and Western medicine explains how acupuncture works.

Vincent’s News 29th Mar 2016, by AnimalCare
Vincent seems okay these days. He eats at least twice a day, which is good. And he eats a lot too.
He has decided to make this table his “den” nowadays, so he spends a lot of time sleeping under the table. This is good, at least he does not feel the need to hide in the neighbour’s garden anymore.
The vet did say that there is no cure of stomatitis, just management and maintenance.
I managed to rub the Oxyfresh Pet Gel onto his gums, but only once. He didn’t like it. He...

Bunny Inches In 29th Mar 2016, by AnimalCare
We think Bunny cannot see much anymore.
The other day, we noticed him feeling his way around with his paw on the pantry slab.
The other time when I asked the vet to check, he said Bunny’s eyes seem okay, but that was quite sometime ago.
In any case, luckily he is confined to Bunny’s Place.
Here’s how Bunny “feels” (or smells) his way around….
He wants to come into the room, but Cow is there and Bunny is afraid of bumping into Cow.
Oops…No, no, Bunny...

Every interaction you have with the animal is a training session. So it’s important to be aware of what you may be doing to reward inappropriate behaviors throughout the day especially when you are not having planned training sessions.
Animals care about your body language and actions more than your words. Consequently, you should focus on the messages your body is giving, pay att...

About Dog Training (the Wolf Pack Mentality Is Not Quite Rightly Applied) 29th Mar 2016, by AnimalCare
An article of interest: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zak-g eorge/cesar-millans-animal-cruelty-investigation_b _9490176.html
Pertinent points:
Cesar Millan will frequently argue that dogs need to be taught as if they’re simply members of a wolf pack. He says we need to be our dog’s pack leaders as though dogs adhere to this type of hierarchy. The truth is there is recent and credible science that shows Millan’s hypothesis is wrong. Millan’s ideas are based on an ...
