Avoid These Summer Pet Toxins

Pets are inquisitive creatures who love to investigate their surroundings. Unfortunately, this trait can lead pets down the path of injury and illness.

Understanding When & Why Cats Have Petting Aggression

Initially, the cat acts like it enjoys the physical contact and may even purr and rub against the person. However, after a variable period of time, the cat may become agitated and turn and bite the hand that is petting it.

Taking Your Pet’s Temperature

Normal body temperature for dogs and cats is 101.0 to 102.5°F (38.3 to 39.2°C). Some pets maintain a baseline temperature a little above or below the average, but if your pet’s temperature rises above 104°F (40.0°C) or falls below 99°F (37.2°C), take your pet to your veterinarian.
