    Can Vitamin E be frozen?

    So I'm trying to make some frozen "supplement treats" for my dog and cat, basically consisting of a bit of frozen cat/dog food and fish oil, so I don't have to open a new capsule every day. I've read that fish oil over time can lower vitamin E levels so I would like to incorporate a bit of that...

    Added a dog to the mix....

    We just bought a house in February, and finally could get a dog! (Dog friendly rentals are almost impossible to find near us). We adopted Luke from a shelter 90 mins from us on April 10th. They estimate that he is 2 years old, and was transferred from another shelter after being there for over 2...

    What else can I use in Tidy Cats Breeze system?

    I started in March introducing my cat Lydia to the Breeze. I have done all of the suggestions for switching her. She pees in it no problem, but she's extremely reluctant to poop in it and 90% of the time poops right next to it. If she would pee in the Breeze and poop in her old clumping clay...

    Friend got a "Bengal" and I am unconvinced....

    Hi everyone. An acquaintance of mine recently posted on Facebook that she has finally gotten a Bengal kitten. To me, it looks exactly like a regular tabby you'd find at the shelter. Am I being overly critical or is it possible it's actually a Bengal? Sorry for the quality of photos, these are...

    Orijen And Acana To Be In Petco

    The Champion Facebook page just announced they will be in Petco stores in the US. I'm annoyed by this lol. They took themselves off of Chewy after they partnered with Petsmart, stating they only work with specialty shops. I had to stop feeding Orijen when they made that change because of...

    Ripley The Jardine's Parrot

    I have had a few parrots over the years, but currently I just have one - Ripley! I was browsing Craigslist one day (as I am guilty of!) and saw this "conure" listed for $100.

    Jasmine

    I brought Jasmine home 17 years ago. Ever since then she has been my cuddle buddy. The only one at home who would watch scary movies with me. A pain in my side as often as she was my best friend. She was everything a cat should be: mischievous, friendly, getting into trouble, cuddly, a brat...

    A few years ago, my cat Jasmine was eating Canidae dry food and wet foods. She was 14 at the time. She started to lose weight, throwing up near daily, and licking all her fur off from her stomach. Bloodwork came back fine, no causes for concern there including thyroid. The vet prescribed...

    Suggestions For Cheapest Chicken, Fish, Turkey, And Grain Free Foods?

    Hi all, Jasmine is doing better now that we've identified more proteins she is reacting to. We've so far been able to find that chicken, some fish (sardines so far seem okay), and turkey all make her throw up and/or lick off the fur from her stomach. We've had success with venison, beef, lamb...

    Has anyone used a body suit for a cat with excessive licking? We are trying so many things to figure out why Jasmine is still licking her stomach and inner legs. She will be growing back one day and then bald the next with no trigger that I have yet been able to pinpoint. I was considering...

    Tips To Get Cats Eating Primal Frozen Raw?

    We found a store 45 minutes away that carries the frozen Primal pronto food for cats. We got the rabbit formula as we are still trying to figure out intolerances, but neither of my cats like it! They have been on a 90% wet diet now for about 3 months, with only a little dry for an overnight...
