Do You Believe Pets Can Sense Your Sickness?

PetSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:15:53 -0800

We all agree that pets cheer us up when we're feeling sad, but can they also tell when we're ill?!

Beamish, this Rottweiler, did just that when his increased attention to a mole convinced Chris Tuffrey to get it checked out. The pooch kept nuzzling, licking, and trying to lift his owner's arm and it turns out the mole was a melanoma . . . and needed to be removed.

There have been other cases and claims in which animals have reacted differently around illness and evidence that they can detect cancer, predict epileptic seizures, and more. What do you think – would unusual behavior from your dog cause you to visit a doc?

Do Your Plants Have Names?

PetSugar — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:00:06 -0700

They don't require quite the same level of care as a dog or a cat, but several of my non-pet owning pals have names for their houseplants! It makes sense since names can provide more accountability when trying to keep them alive ("Oh no, you murdered Leafy!") - sound familiar?

Brilliant or Baffling? The Dog Wash/Car Wash Hybrid

PetSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:46:56 -0700

When a pal mentioned the story of a dog and car washing combo, I envisioned a terrified North strapped "in neutral" to some rolling tracks! After checking out the full story, it makes a lot more sense. Much like self-service dog washing stores, one creative Pa. business owner combined a car wash with a dog wash.
Costing $8 for 10 minutes, a powerful jet sprays oatmeal shampoo before conditioner, then a temperature-controlled rinse, pet appropriate blow dry heat, and comb out time. You can use as much product as you'd like . . . but you'll pay a buck more for each additional minute and 25 seconds. Even if you forget something, there's a vending machine for all your last minute needs (combs, towels, etc) and then you can hop back in and wash your car while your clean pet waits patiently nearby! I love the idea of one-stop shopping – well, if I washed my own car – but what you do you think?
