Open Dog Food Containers More Easily

By lnygaard

Rolling foil lid off of single serve dog food.My fingers don't work as good as they once did so I find ways to help with opening things. If you are feeding your dogs these little packages with aluminum lids, then just roll the pencil around the aluminum and you have leverage.

Clear Eyes for Pet Tear Stain Removal
Use Clear Eyes, yes, the eye drops for humans. They have seven (I think) different formulations. Any of them will work. Place a couple of drops on the stain, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Leave it on for at least ten minutes then rinse and dry.
Feeding Pets Vegetable Scraps
My tip for pets is to feed them your vegetable scraps. My dogs personally love all kinds of things I would never dream of from carrots, to lettuce and apples just to name a few. A few words of caution, don't feed them onions, garlic, or chocolate. They are not good for them.

Today's Questions
Introducing New Kitten to Resident Older Cat
I have an issue with introducing a new 4 month old kitten to my resident cat. The resident cat is 13 years old and she has always been solitary and generally doesn't like other cats. The kitten is very friendly and can be quite playful at times. He is confined to a bedroom with his things. She has the rest of the house with her own stuff. They have met a couple of times, with a lot of hissing.
New Dog Aggressive Towards Resident Dog
We re-homed a 3 year old Boxer. We have a 4 year old Lab bitch which we've had since a puppy. He apparently was bullied at his previous home. The initial meet on neutral ground was perfect. Within 20 minutes of getting them both home he started being aggressive towards her. Snapping at her when she walked past, not letting her have any toys, charging at her for no reason.
Caring for a Puppy with Parvo
My puppy started showing signs of parvo Thursday night so Friday we took him to the vet. We couldn't afford to keep him over night, but we paid for his meds and took him home for treatment. Thursday an Friday he was doing semi okay. He was at least playing a little and walking. He threw up a couple of times, but not a lot. He was able to drink water on his own and he had bloody diarrhea twice.
