Devoted pet owner and now, devoted pet editor, Judi worked in traditional offices, keeping the books and the day-to-day operations organized. Taking her dog to work every day for over a decade never seemed odd. Neither did having an office cat. She knows what it's like to train a new puppy and she's experienced the heartache of losing beloved companions. Retired, she currently lives with her spoiled dog and four chickens (who are, interestingly enough, also spoiled).

5 Surprising and Healthy Dog Treats Hiding at Home

There has to be an alternative to store-bought organic dog treats.

After my fifth bag, I was starting to feel the strain that these expensive treats were putting on my budget. But I wasn’t about to switch over to cheaper, junk food equivalents of dog treats. Driven by both my budget limit and my unwavering commitment to give my dog-only healthy food, I did my research and found out that there are lots of dog-tasty and human-budget friendly treats right in my own home. Here are five of these natural and homemade dog treats that my baby absolutely loves!

It all started with a woman that went on vacation with her husband. Friends were watching their dog, Oliver while they were gone. Somehow Oliver went missing and the trauma began. No matter how vigilant dog sitters are there is always the chance that the pet will try to get home.

There are only a few options to assist in finding a lost pet. You can put up posters, call the shelters and search the area but they are all time consuming. You are pretty much spinning your wheels because the animal is moving as fast as you are.

Is Declawing or Debarking The Answer?

Declawing and debarking are operations that some pet owners may consider for their pets. Serious consideration should be taken before you have these procedures done.

It would make for a perfect world if your cat did not scratch up all your furniture or your dog would not bark at all hours of the night. But as you know we do not live in a perfect world. If you have pets in your home you should already realize that this is their normal behavior. They are simply doing what comes natural to them. With consistent training their behavior can be modified.

If your husband, wife or children just talked too much, would it be acceptable to have their vocal cords cut? No matter how much we would like to do this sometimes, it is just not the way the world works.
