When considering a new dog, most people think about puppies—they are just so irresistibly cute!  But when picking a good companion dog, it is important to consider just what you are looking for.  Before settling on a particular dog or breed, make sure the characteristics mesh well with your lifestyle.  How much time will you spend with your new pet? Are you an active person? Do you work from home or an office?  Sometimes an older dog is a better fit for people with a busy lifestyle and little time for consistent training.  To ensure you find the right companion, here are some good steps to follow:

        The Petango Store is pleased to announce its recent sponsorship of the SPCA Serving Erie County in its effort to provide its feline guests with cat boxes.   

 

Cat boxes?” you might ask.

 

  As anyone who has housed a cat knows, most of our feline friends enjoy the comfort and security of a good hiding space.  For my cat, it’s the space between the counter and a high chair from which he can observe through the rails of the chair-back with relative impunity.  It’s his destination of choice when the dogs come dashing in from their walk or a loud and unfamiliar person arrives on the scene.

Shelter cats are no different and if anything, are in greater

If you have fallen in love with Max, the one-eyed dog, or Marshmallow, the deaf cat, here are some important tips for adopting a disabled pet that can help you adjust to your pet’s special needs.

Disabled pets come in many forms. Some special-needs pets have persistent health problems like diabetes, skin or foodallergies, frequent urinary tract infections, or behavioral issues like aggression or defecating and urinating in unwanted areas. Other common disabilities are missing limbs, hind limb paralysis, profound deafness, blindness and edentulism (having few or no teeth).

 

Educate Yourself

Read everything you can about the pet’s disability so you won’t be surprised by the amount of time or effort you might have to expend to keep your pet healthy and happy.

Looking to adopt a pet? The beagle is one of the many hound breeds, which are bred as scent hunters. Although still an excellent hunting dog, the beagle has become equally sought after as a family pet. According to the AKC Registration Statistics (www.akc.org/reg/dogreg_stats.cfm), the beagle is currently the fifth most popular breed. Its even temperament, high energy and low maintenance make the beagle a good first pet for a child. The only precaution is to make sure it gets obedience training early in life, as this hound breed has a tendency to follow its nose, shutting out commands. In an overview on beagles, you will discover if the beagle is the dog for you.

Description

As one of the medium-sized hound breeds, the beagle has a square-shaped body and a medium-sized muzzle with
