Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Their time is running out before euthanasia…  Please contact Domestic Animal Services (Collier County) at 239.252.7387 These are adults mostly that are for one reason or another, just not being saved by adoption.   Often because they are just ordinary looking and not a pure bred dog.  (more…)

MEOW-OWWWW! YOUR PET’S ACHING BACK!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

This article appeared in the February 2010 issue of E Bella Magazine and is written by Inko’s Exemplary Pet Care Services Owner and Manager, Ali O’Connor. Humans aren’t the only ones with aches and pains.   Ali O’Connor explains how pet owners can help their four legged friends.

If I were lucky enough to have 9 lives, I’d be willing to bet eight of them that at some point in the last six months, you’ve grabbed your back or neck and thought  “I need a massage!”.  Not only is massage a way to pamper ourselves, it can help us rid our bodies of pain and toxins.   After all, our bodies are comprised of bones, muscle, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue and plainly stated, that stuff breaks down.

Exercise Your Kitty

Friday, August 21st, 2009

The Dogs usually get the attention for the ‘exercise’ category don’t they?   And I’m a huge advocate of the whole ‘exercise + dog = good’ thing.   I find though that there are a fair number of kitties out there in our homes who have a bit of a weight issue.   I think exercise is thought of for dogs as more of a way to keep their behavior in check even though its great for their weight and health too.
