Mangy pet? Help is at hand…

Mange… the dreaded skin disease that can occur in pets, causes great concern for pet owners. Once a death sentence for many pets, mange is now more easily diagnosed and treated. There are two types of mange which pet owners should know about… the most common type of mange is called demodectic mange, often referred to as read mange while the second type of mange is called sarcoptic mange in dogs or notoedric mange in cats.

As with everything else in the world, going to the vet with your pet may not be all that it could in terms of getting complete information. You may not get all the information you may require to make the best decision for your pet’s health. This is usually a result of what the age-old maxim tells us… “You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Despite poop-scoop signage, articles, comments from the public and good common sense, some dog owners are still making it tough on the rest of us by their negligence in picking up after their dogs. One wonders what else can be done to make the point…

Today, many airlines are adopting pet-friendly policies by allowing small pets to travel in the passenger cabin of a plane in a pet carrier. The relief for pet owners is tremendous… whereas for non-pet people, pets traveling in the cabin can seem to be an imposition, especially for allergy-sufferers. It would seem that the airlines can’t win. Ramping up service to accommodate pet people is not all rosy.
