FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 8, 2014 - The Robert Abady Dog Food Co., LLC of Poughkeepsie, NY, is recalling its 2 lb, 5 lb & 15 lb boxes of "Abady Highest Quality Maintenance & Growth Formula for Cats" because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Bringing home the bunny: Important information for rabbit owners
They are cute and cuddly and can be fun to watch as they play and hop for hours. Rabbits are gentle, social creatures with big personalities and even bigger popularity with pet parents. These little cuties are commonly thought of as part of the rodent family but they are in fact lagomorphs.

Pet portrait artist honors pets with beautiful and detailed paintings
Pets are like family
members. They have personality, quirks and emotions. Pets are often treated
just like family- they get gifts, go on vacations and end up in family photo
albums. There are so many different ways that pet owners invite their animals
into the family circle.
Some pet owners chose
to honor their pets with a custom pet portrait. This special piece of art is
both home décor and a way to show your love for that special family member. The
number of talented pet portrait artists is rising and these artists are
constantly raising the bar. When a client commissions a piece they are
generally looking for a final product that is detailed, polished and true to
their pet. California based pet portrait artist Suzanne Leonard delivers a
finished product that is all that and more.

Easter inspired treats: Are eggs good snacks for pets?
Easter is in season and painting eggs is all the rage. Don’t be fooled, eggs are more than just the pretty and decorative symbols of this spring holiday. Eggs are full of protein and nutrients that are great for people. But are eggs good for pets?
The general rule is to avoid raw egg when feeding this treat to any dog, cat or small mammal pet. Those pets all have similar reactions to uncooked egg. Some snakes and other reptiles will eat whole eggs but it is important that reptile owners do a lot of research before feeding an egg to their pet....

past her 38th birthday and still holds the title as oldest cat to
date. She was born on 3 August 1967 and died on 6 August 2005
