Littermate syndrome can occur when two puppies adopted from the same litter grow up together in the same home.  In some cases, these sibling puppies will form such a deep bond with each other that they fail to properly socialize with people and other dogs.

 Just as much as you are interviewing a potential pet sitter, they are interviewing you as well. You always want to make sure to thoroughly vet your pet sitter and make sure they will be a good fit for your pet and for you. Each pet sitter and pet sitting company probably operates a bit differently from each other, as there is no right way to run a pet sitting company, but there are some basics that should be in place when selecting a pet sitter.

We will be talking about why our cats like to hang out and sleep in high places. We all know cats can be fussy creatures and this attitude extends to their sleeping habits as well.  Many owners have gone out and bought plush, expensive beds only for their pampered cats to refuse to sleep on them.  Are they just being fussy or is there an ulterior motive for this behavior?

While some people like to travel without their pets, there are just as many who tailor their trips to include the four legged members of their family.  Spring break typically is the first sign of warmer weather, at least in the Midwest United States, and can be a perfect time to get out and go with the whole family.  Warning: Your bucket list is about to get a whole lot longer.

We know exercise is essential for all living animals and our cats are no exception.  Despite the appearance they give off that they are happy to be lazy and lounge all day, they also enjoy getting involved in vigorous play.

Show Notes: https://www.thepetladyltd.com/episode-40-how-much-exercise-does-your-cat-need

Notes:
    • Exercise is crucial for our feline friends to keep them healthy and ensure good muscle and bone health in your cat.
    • On average, cats need about 30 minutes of physical activity every day.
        ◦ Indoor and outdoor cats and exercise
        ◦ Adult cats vs. kittens 
    • Engage your cat in vigorous play that mimics hunting
    • Reward your cat during play to keep them engaged
    • Learn what toys are your cats favorite

When deciding when to spay or neuter your dog there are many things you need to take into account, such as the size, breed, and your individual dog.  A breeder or your veterinarian can be a great sound board when deciding when the best time to spay/neuter would be for your pet.

Show Notes:  https://www.thepetladyltd.com/episode-39-when-should-you-spayneuter-your-dog

As responsible pet owners, we need to make sure we help to curb the population of pets in shelters and stray pets and the best way we are able to do this is to spay and neuter.  Helping to slow the population of pets that end up in shelters or on the street, also help to decrease euthanizations.

It’s normal for puppies and dogs to chew on objects as they explore the world. Chewing accomplishes a number of things for a dog. For young dogs, it’s a way to relieve pain that might be caused by incoming teeth. For older dogs, it’s nature’s way of keeping jaws strong and teeth clean. Chewing also combats boredom and can relieve mild anxiety or frustration.

Join Kiesha Garrison and Ben Shimizu of Canine Cornerstone for this episode featuring many lessons about love, connection, and relationships we can glean from people who are intuitive enough to communicate well with animals. Ben enlightens about the deep connections between pets and their owners and uses his life story as an example of how our human lives impact the animals in our care and how our pet relationships impact our lives and our growth as individuals.  They also talk about staying connected to things you care about throughout your life, caring for oneself during a grieving process, and how embracing what others may call weird about you might just lead you to your superpower.

Today we are going to try to answer why our dogs burrow in bed or under covers.  My dog is notorious for doing this and then stealing the covers.  It is cute, but is there a reason they love to do this so much?
