Summer Dangers for Cats: Heatstroke and Bug Bites 🌞

Summer is outdoor time for people and pets. Cats might get excited about summer. Unsure if indoor cats really feel the need to wander outdoors in the good weather (or if that’s what their pet parents think they feel.)

Either way, if you let your kitties out for some fun in the sun, be aware of those summer dangers: Bug bites, UV exposure and parasites.

Nature is amazing and always in control. In the midst of our changing world, I remember that there is truly much beauty in the world.

Greetings! Welcome to the February edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. One of my fun projects is to work with different kinds of animals. So I’m planning to volunteer at a horse farm nearby. And this edition is all about adopting horses and alpacas. Enjoy!

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 2024, the show moved to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. The event runs from May 11 and 14.

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.
