In denial: The unfortunate truth about fleas that you may
be ignoring
Alright pet parents- are you ready to hate me? Because I’m
about to tell you something that I have told many pet parents in the past and
to my surprise it almost always elicits a furious or begrudging reaction. I’m
about to talk about fleas right now so grab your pitch forks and torches.
It has happened to me so many times- good hearted, loving
pet parents with only the best intentions for their pets making statements like
“my cat has never had fleas in its life and my neighbor's cat has been around
the yard and NOW she has fleas!” or “my dog has NEVER had fleas and since I
went to the dog park with that new dog he has them!”
Announcing The Magic Zoo Halloween photo contest winner!
Paws For Reaction mascot and my baby girl Keira is one
lucky girl- she just won a Halloween Photo Contest held by The Magic Zoo! The
Magic Zoo sells beautiful “handcrafted jewelry for animal lovers.” Miss Keira
was wearing her adorable witch hat to match my witch costume and she got to
visit with every family that came trick-or-treating. She was pretty proud of
her costume and how great she was as at welcoming the kids so when I told her
she won the contest she was pretty excited!

The neighborhood is
getting spookier as Halloween crawls closer and closer. Horrific decorations
adorn festive homes while they search for the best costume continues. Little do
pet parents know the candy and décor of Halloween could end up being dangerous
for household pets.
Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI) released its Top Halloween PetDangers and Safety Tips on Oct. 15 to help educate pet parents about how this
scary holiday could negatively affect their pet. VPI reports that in the United States alone
consumers spend $7 billion on Halloween candy, decorations, and costumes.
Unfortunately having all of these seemingly benign holiday objects in the home
means that consumers could be exposing their pets to toxic or hazardous things.
Happy Caturday!
Why does it feel like somebody's watching me?
