Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – March Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the March edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. Spring is here! And it’s a great time to find new hobbies and new adventures. I’m interested in pet fish and reached out to a pet fish hobbyist.

I interviewed fish hobbyist, Camille Bates. She works for the Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS). Their motto is “Where all roads lead home…”

MARS serves pets and pet parents to find homes for lost, forgotten or abandoned animals. MARS rescues at-risk dogs and cats who are homeless through no fault of their own.

Pet Diseases: How You Can Keep Your Pet Healthy 😷

We’re in the middle of the winter and the flu season. Flu is preventable if we avoid contact with sick people, avoid touching our mouth, nose and eyes, and wash our hands with soap and water.

As a pet parent, you can also prevent disease in your family pet. Pet diabetes, dental disease, and obesity are preventable. How can you keep your pet healthy all year?

February Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

February is a month right in the heart of winter. This month we’re celebrating how to train your dog, dental health for pets, and responsible pet ownership.

February is generally the month for the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show. In 2023, the show moved to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. The event runs from May 8 and 9.

Another cool thing about the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is that each breed has an associated rescue group. Be there in person if you can, but the event will also be televised.

When Kitty Stops Using the Litter Box 🐱

As any cat parent knows, cats can be stubborn. Cats generally have five types of personalities.

Cats can be dominant and take over resources like toys or food. They can also be insecure, shy or skittish. Other cats are social butterflies and easy going. Some cats are spontaneous and respond differently in any situation. Finally, cats can be curious or nosy.

Whatever type of personality, your cat communicates in her own way. She sends a message when she leaves you a clue outside the litter box.
