If your cat is a domestic shorthair, what does that mean? Short answer, your cat is a true original, and that’s something to celebrate. No two domestic shorthairs are alike, even if they come from the same litter. Yet, they’re the most popular cat in America, and the following will explain why.
Common health issues in senior dogs that pet parents need to know
As pets are beloved family members, we want our dogs to be with us as long as possible. But as dogs enter their senior years, it’s important to keep a close eye on the signs of changing health conditions.

The best dog breeds for kids and families
Bringing a dog into the family comes with plenty of benefits. They can teach your kids to be respectful, responsible and cooperative. They can also be a great excuse to get outside for daily walks. Either way, dogs can provide us with a whole new perspective on life and give us a reason to smile. If you’re looking at getting one for you and your family, you may want to do your homework first. Like humans, dogs can have their own distinct personalities. And sometimes, those personalities don’t mesh well if you or your furry friend have different expectations.

How do I know if my dog’s stomach hurts (and how can I help)?

Most often, it’ll come down to an upset stomach. Knowing the signs that your dog’s stomach hurts will make it easier to soothe both their discomfort and your fears.
