Playing is fun, but a pet owner's primary responsibility is to monitor their pet's health and look out for medical problems.
Ways to Keep Your Pet Happy and Healthy. Top Story - April 2019.
Anyone who has ever owned a pet will say the same, but a pet is more than those three letters; they’re another living being, they’re a furry friend, and they are unquestionably a part of the family. Like any other friend or family member, you wish them a long, healthy life full of happiness and love. More than that though, taking care of them is a huge part of helping them live the life you know they deserve. To keep them happy and healthy starts with the little things like feeding them and making sure they get enough exercise, but it is also grooming, cuddling, hemp-based CBD products, spoiling them, and the number of other ways that set you apart as a premium pet owner.

The #1 Ranked CBD Oil and Treats for Pets
Owning a pet is probably one of the most exciting bonds that exists between humans and another species. Some way or another we end up being tangled in caring for a furry friend that will eventually grow up to make us think they love us as much as we love them. It becomes an undeniable and familiar relationship. Caring for either a dog, cat, or horse teaches us every day about the power of unconditional love, and the way we interact with nature. How we simultaneously end up communicating with our non-human speakers, knowing when they’re comfortably happy and when they’re unfortunately in discomfort.

CBD Oil and Biscuits for Mad Cow Disease in Dogs
Most of you may have heard about the mad cow disease that easily affects dogs. However, it is basically a common term used for BSE or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. Mad cow disease is mainly a neurodegenerative disease found in cattle. In simple terms, it means that it's a disease that gradually destroys the brain cells. The primary cause of mad cow disease is a deformed protein that is also known as prion. If a mammal has prion in its body, the protein will also make other types of proteins to replicate the similar deformed structure. As a result of this, a dangerous chain reaction starts off in the body.

Puppy Journey: Renpet's Story
Recently we've seen some viral videos where dogs had gotten into their owners' cannabis. Every owner probably thought to themselves that would never be them. You also have owners who decided that they would purposefully give their fur baby cannabis just so that they could go viral. Unfortunately, I became one of those owners who thought that they would be able to keep their animal away from their cannabis product.

Signs Your Dog Needs to Go to the Vet
Dogs have ways of letting you know that things aren't right, as long as you pay attention. Familiarizing yourself with your pup's behaviors helps you to know when your dog needs to go to the vet, but that's not all you need to know. Spotting behavioral changes quickly is helpful. However, it's also essential to recognize the signs and symptoms of common issues that can point to more severe problems. Instead of heading to Google and getting scared sick, research your dog's breed, age, and common ailments. That can potentially save unnecessary visits to the vet, but knowledge will also let you know that your doggo needs to see the doc.

Things I Learned Working in a Vet Office (Pt. 1)
Every pet owner has to make a visit to a veterinary office at some point, whether it's for vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, illness, or an emergency. One of the first things I noticed as an employee is just how many people don't actually know what the vaccines are and why they are important.There are two types of vaccines for cats and dogs: Core vaccines and non-core vaccines. A core vaccine is recommended for all animals of a species no matter their lifestyle. Non-core vaccines are suggested vaccines based off of the potential the animal has of exposure.

Aging Pets Need TLC. Top Story - October 2018.
When we adopt a cute little puppy or kitten, we generally are not thinking that at some point that puppy or kitten is going to become a senior citizen and require special care and pampering. But, the fact is dogs and cats have a much shorter life span than their human companions.
