Celebrating Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November 🥳

The holiday season is a time of celebration. I’m happy to celebrate Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November to help senior pets find their new families.

“To create a pet parent community to encourage adoption of rescue and shelter animals. We want to help pets find their forever homes.”

My mission statement keeps me focused on helping animals. Many shelter and rescue animals are senior pets all looking for a furrever home.

Halloween can be a fun time of the year! Pet parents love to dress up their furry friends in costumes of all kinds.

Your pets may want to wear outfits, but pet parents should be aware of some Halloween hazards…

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – September Edition 🗞️

Greetings! Welcome to the September edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month, I’m reminded about why I created this blog: to encourage people to adopt rescue and shelter animals.

My kitty Oscar who passed away last year, was adopted from a rescue. My latest family member, Mingus, was a feral cat, adopted from a shelter. Homeless animals may have special needs, like senior pets or hard to adopt pets, like a feral cat or dog. Let’s celebrate the joy and happiness of special needs pets. Learn all about them and enjoy!

Mobile Veterinary Clinics: Pros and Cons 🚚

In 2023 in the United States alone, over 393.3 million pets are living in their forever homes. Worldwide, over 1.1 billion pets live with their pet families. Pets need veterinary care and mobile veterinary clinics are stepping up to fill the gap.

Mobile clinics give veterinarians the benefit of running a business. And pet parents everywhere are taking notice of alternatives to the traditional veterinary clinics as the only source for pet care.

September Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

September is a good month for cooler weather and promoting animal awareness events. September awareness events encourage pet adoptions for less-popular animals.

Supporters can use creative social media to help special needs pets gain attention. The month ends with a day to remember homeless animals around the world.

10 Cat Parenting Tips: Quality of Life 🐱

Cats like their alone time. And they like to be social. Cats don’t like to be bored. Let’s face it, people still think cats are mysterious, aloof and not affectionate. People also think living with a cat is easier than living with a dog…

But cat pet parents know differently. Your cat will let you know when (and if) she wants to play, socialize or just wants her alone time. It’s about the quality of life you share with your kitty.

August Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

August is a big month for cats and dogs everywhere. Assistance Dog Week, International Cat Day and National Dog Day are some examples.

Celebrate and enjoy some special days with your cat and dog friends!

Microchipping Can Save Your Pet’s Life 💻

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month. This week’s blog is a re-post tidbit to microchip your pet to keep them safe.

My daily walks take me through a maze of different neighborhoods, including mansions, low-income and middle income homes. But I noticed some strange things in my neighborhood: An uptick in posters of missing pets.

It’s strange because I rarely see these posters. I noticed a poster for an orange cat named Paws, missing for a few weeks. Paws’ poster is stapled to many telephone poles around town

July is Lost Pet Prevention Month 🔍

July is in full swing. Pets and pet parents are spending more time outside. This month is about keeping a pet first aid kit for home and travel. July is also Lost Pet Prevention Month.

You’re a good pet parent and try to keep your pet safe and away from danger. But sometimes a cat jumps the fence. Sometimes a dog escapes through an open door.

A lost pet can be a pet parent’s worst nightmare.
