    Do You Vaccinate Your Cats?

    I make sure my cats are vaccinated for the right diseases. Around here, leukemia, the respiratory disease complexes, rabies and FIV are all endemic and my cats are vaccinated against them. It is VERY important to me that my cats are protected. How often? Not every year. I gave them their first...

    Wellness canned feeders

    We feed our cats chicken, beef or turkey every day and have not had any issues at all. One of my cats is a puker, too, and he's been fine on this.

    Fleas will not go away.

    Don't panic. Fleas, as others have said, live largely in the environment as eggs or pupae. (cocoons). A very small percentage of fleas in an infestation actually live on the cat. The good news is that the fleas that are on your cat do NOT jump off. This is a common misconception that even some...

    Need Flea Advice

    I am probably a little late to the party, but far be it from me not to throw in my two cents about flea problems. Am I to understand that you are only treating your young cats because they are the ones with the problem, and the older cat is not being treated? If this is true, that's your...

    Getting rid of fleas on kitten?

    This is not true. Frontline spray must not be used on kittens younger than 8 weeks of age. The label states that. Do not apply this to kittens younger than 8 weeks of age.

    Will I Kill My Vet???

    Droncit tabs should not be crushed up and mixed with food. Praziquantel has an extremely bitter and objectionable taste. This will make cats foam like crazy if they even touch it. It does not come in a liquid form to my knowledge. Droncit does come in an injectable form, your vet would have to...
