There are millions of stray cats in America, both those who have been abandoned by their owners, and those from the feral population that's developed. They live in the wild, in woods, parks, suburbs, and cities. Though they have the capability to take care of themselves, their life expectancies are much lower than if they were living under a per...Read More
The most basic tenant to driving safety is to pay attention to the road at all times. Since it can only a couple seconds' glance away from your surroundings to cause a fatal collision, distractions should be minimized as much as humanly possible. This can include things like cell phones, food and drink, music, and-- unfortunately-- your pets.

Off the leash scare – Fireworks what a nightmare
One late Saturday evening stroll down the beach. 2 best friends, 2 dogs; 1 small black multi-poodle and 1 golden retriever. The guy was busy looking for the retriever’s balls so they continue to fetch and throw. As the night got darker, from a distance we heard a...Read More
I love to walk in the woods. Last week I was hiking in the Grand Tetons after a fatal grizzly attack at a campsite. I thought alot about bear and other predator encounters.
Most of the time predators will go about their business, if you announce yourself and give them space. Remember in their world,when you surpris...Read More
At first pet insurance might seem like yet another example of Americans overly anthropomorphizing and spoiling their animals. In a down economy, this might seem especially opulent. However, the increased money Americans are paying for pet insurance and discount veterinarian plans is meant to reduce expenses--especially in this global recession.

They are all the rage across the United States and beyond. Cross-breed dogs such as Cockapoos have been around for many years, while newer crosses, such as Labradoodles and Puggles keep rising in popularity. So, are these dogs a new “hot” breed or just a designer mutt?

To say that Beasts of Burden, a graphic novel written by Evan Dorkin with painted artwork by Jill Thompson, is a unique animal story is a profound understatement. The book collects several short stories about the Wise Dog Society, a group of neighborhood canines ( and one cat, known as " The Orphan " ) who investigate paranormal events in the to...Read More
Though pet treats are often marketed as having benefits for the animals ( such as dental hygiene or encouraging good behavior ), they unfortunately aren't that different from human treats. The way pet treats work is similar to candy, sweet-tasting and easy to digest, and creating a neurological rush that leads to cravings. Unfortunately, this is...Read More
From the Paw of Patches:
The key to assisting your OCD human is to be yourself. Aloof and fickle are two of the most effective personality traits. The very best in curing the OCD, however, is affection in alliance with these two traits. Allow me to provide examples.
As we all know, OCD is evident through the r...Read More
Just yesterday I was walking on the sidewalk and saw a woman walking her dog. I was wearing sandals, the woman was wearing heals, and the dog was wearing sneakers. The dog could have hurt its feet before, could have just got its nails done, or whatever, but it still left me thinking how the dog must feel ("I am so humiliated, I can't...Read More
I did not have too much time lately as I am taking care of all these animals in my flat. I have been enjoying it too much.
My biggest worry will be leaving them to someone to take care of them for two weeks that I will go on vacation with my hubby.
But while I was busy with all this I did manage to finally do an article about g...Read More
Breaking up is never fun. Especially when you have to divide things that you jointly owned- like a pet.
Pet custody may seem like child custody for many people facing painful breakups. Unfortunately, the law hasn’t quite caught up to pet custody. Recently in New Jersey, a law was passed to give custody of a pet to one person who ...Read More
If you are a dog owner, you don’t need to be convinced that your relationship with your canine companion is beneficial to you both. After more than 14,000 years of human beings keeping dogs as pets, there is no question that owning a dog must have benefits for both parties. Today, almost 40% of Australians and 37% of Americans enjoy these ...Read More
I am sure that everyone out there is familiar with the name, Jack Hanna. He has been around a long time showing us how to safely interact with animals, wild and domestic.

Global warming is affecting the animal population in many ways- both big and small. This is especially true for the slow warming of the poles and how it affects the populations of native animals there.
Scientists fear polar bears won't survive severe climate change, as adult males were found eating younger or more vulnerable bears at a ...Read More

Have you noticed that more and more books about dogs are on the shelves of bookstores and libraries these days? Both non-fiction books about dogs, and fiction books with dogs as characters, are fetching a lot of interest.

I was browsing online and this article Animal Make the Perfect Humans on CNN caught my attention. Rita Mae Brown is a novelist and an avid animal lover. She expresses her opinions and observation of humans' animalistic behaviors in this article. I can't agree more with her.

Well, everybody, thanks to my cat, Squeaky, after nearly two months, I am finally back to my blogging.
It all started on September 15th. I was getting fresh water for the 'Cat Pen Gang', and had just turned to go back toward their cage, when all of a sudden, Squeaky came from behind running by me. As she passed m...Read More
As the weather gets colder, Desi sleeps more- always in the same spot on the couch on his blanket. After some Chinese takeout I fed him the rest of this red meat, and I honestly think it's one of his favorite foods. I've been trying to decide what kind of costume would look best on him for Halloween. I tried putting some of my old ballerina c...Read More
Where are the litters of mutts that used to be a neighborhood attraction? I remember taking several trips to neighbors houses, or they to mine to watch a litters progress and antics. When I was in vet school we were taught that neutering will prevent over population, mammary cancer, and prostate problems...N...Read More
With all of the new alternatives to declawing that there are now, it seems crazy to me that people would still have a cat declawed. I understand the annoyance factor when it comes to furniture, and of course the threat to children, but at the end of the day our cats are wild animals, no matter how tame they seem with us, and they deserve a way t...Read More
I have always been an advocate of letting cats go outdoors if the environment allows it, e.g. - they have a yard to play in, not a lot of traffic around, no aggressive dogs nearby, the basic items to keep them safe. What I haven't been thinking about is whether we have a responsibility to keep other animals safe from the cats.

With the economic meltdown and job layoffs, families are unable to keep their pets. It’s heartbreaking to know that some animal shelters are having a hard time caring for this influx of pets.

I have not been on yeepet for a month and a half and boy have I missed you guys! Just wanted to let my fellow-yeepeters know that I am back (in case anyone missed me ).

With no owner coming forward, this puppy needs help.
It’s a dreary afternoon, perhaps fitting for the task ahead. A cluttered foyer that shares company with the lost and discarded, as well as the found and adopted, houses a multitude of emotions emanating from the staff and visitors present. The Animal Care and Control facility is buzzi...Read More
Kennel cough; what is kennel cough? Kennel cough is an very contagious bacteria that dogs can contract from other dogs.

Wow. My very first blog here on yeepet. I don't really even know what that means here because I am new. I like the site already though. I wish I had a cat that lived with me.

I have three cats, and I’m impressed by many of the things that they do. For example, Lily (the mama cat) likes to clean off her paws by dipping them into her water bowl. Bella (the baby girl cat) can carry things in her mouth (hair ties, eyeglasses, rocks, etc.), which she strategically steals and carries back to her food dish as if the...Read More
Have you looked in your closet lately? How many leather shoes do you own? Granted some may be man-made leather or made from other man-made materials, but it’s probable that you own some leather shoes.
Instead of buying more leather or suede shoes, invest in organic materials that do not use animal byproducts. For example, I found these ...Read More
Eek! I just saw a spider! And I can’t find a stool tall enough to protect me from such a creepy crawly critter!

My father and his dog have such a human, animal bond that yet wonderful to see the love between them both, can be ridiculous some days to have to hear the endless and constant praises to his pet, as if he was but not a dog but a grandchild. The dog maybe a real cutie, but he’s no human or especially baby as my father portrays.

My mother loves dogs. There’s no doubt about it. Growing up, first we had Ginger a shepherd mix who dutifully slept between my sister and me each night. Then we had Emma, the basset hound. Emma drooled and snored her way into all of our hearts. Now there’s Sophie, a mild mannered lhasa apso mix who wants nothing more than to curl up ...Read More
When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I knew there would be a certain period of adjustment. There would be those things about each other we would have to get used to: whether the toilet paper roll goes under or over (over), is a coaster really necessary (yes), those sorts of things. It turns out one of the biggest adjustments was adapting m...Read More
I have three cats, Archie, Abbie, and Alphie. Archie is 13, Abbie is 11, and Alphie is 8. Archie and Abbie got along fine with my dog, Max, but Alphie did not. When Max died, Alphie breathed a sigh of relief that he wouldn't be chased around the house anymore.
Life was pretty peaceful for the cats until November, when I...Read More

Over Labor Day weekend of 2008, my wonderful dog, Max, died unexpectedly. He was a 12 1/2 year old Rottweiler/New Foundland mix and had been a great companion.

I've never been into dog racing, horse racing, or any sort of gambling, whether it involves animals or not. I can definetly see the difference between fans of the casino, and those who love to "play the ponies"; one involves chasing cards around a smoky, over-oxygenated room, and the other involves watching real performance animals chase e...Read More
