Prepare for colder months
Studies have shown that one in every five dogs suffer from stiffness caused by joint issues, and a third of all dogs over five years old showing signs of reduced mobility. Joint problems not only cause reduced mobility for your dog but also emotionally difficult for the pet owner.
The fast approaching Autumn and winter months can aggravate joint problems such as Arthritis, so we advise to think about stocking up on solutions designed to offer relief from the pain of joint and skin problems:

Ask A Vet $100 Competition Winner
Congratulations to Gail Zupancic, who is the July winner of the Question of the Month.
Gail asked us...
Shiloh is a medium sized Lab Mix. Only problem is the pads on his feet are so rough it hurts to play with him or when he jumps or even paws you when he wants something. Can anything help? I tried very fine sandpaper, emery board, cream, vaseline... nothing works?
Our vet replied...
There are several reasons which might have caused this condition in your pet. Frequent contact with chemicals which can trigger a reaction in his feet. Chemicals like rug shampoos, floor cleaners, or garden sprays, for example, can irritate the paws of some dogs. This can cause the tissue on its paws to overgrow and become rough. (continued)

Question from Amanda MacDiarmid
My baby Stella (3 months) has a herniated belly button. Should I be concerned with this? Is there anything that I can do to get her belly button to be an 'innie'? Should i be worried about the hernia? Also, during bathing, how should I wash her face? I don't want to get soap in her mouth, eyes or nose, but her face is squished together (she’s adorable!). Please help!
Question from Michelle Warne
My dog has been treated with Frontline and still got fleas. My daughter was late giving her the monthly dose, she’s since bathed her and re-applied Frontline earlier than is due. Will the treatment kill the existing fleas, what should we do regarding infestation of area dog sleeps, her apartment, etc.?
Question from Sharon Powell
I am currently taking care of a feral cat colony. We feed them, they have been fixed, and have had shots. They get fleas in summer very badly and then worms which make them thin. Are there any dewormers that can be put in food or water? Any suggestions would help.
Question from Laura
My cat scratches itself to the point of losing fur. We had a flea infestation which is now gone. All of the cats have been treated with Frontline Plus (which I bought and will buy from you). What else can I do for her to help her stop the scratching and fur loss?
