Holidays & More...

Holidays can create special danger for your pets.

Thousands of pets during the holidays become deathly ill.

It is a busy time - a time of much planning, shopping, cooking and baking, rushing to and from parties and get togethers with relatives and friends.

Often times we forget about our little four-legged member of the

family during the rush and many hazards waiting for their curiosity.

New Year's brings in a brand New Year filled with the promise of hope, health, love and joy..

But be alert to any pet hazards such as fun noise makers and confetti which can very easily hurt or seriously threat your pet's senses and well being and health.

Noise makers can frighten your pet causing the pet to bolt out an open door or window or leap to a serious pet hazard area that will cause your pet an unsafely fall etc....

Confetti can be ingested.

Wreaking havoc to the digestive tract...

So please be aware of your pet's surroundings ...

The Cats We Love............

People including my human love cats the creature they adore.

It is hard to resist the cuteness of a little fluffy creature roll up on your knees and purrs for joy.

Anyone who has ever had a cat know how close the relation between human and cat is.

Cats are loving, playful, charming and cute companions.

Also can be one to one demanding like us humans too..

If you love cats and my mum does trust me (she is in my control), you will spend time and then more watching your feline.

Cats have thier own world that is closely bound with us humans, but it does not go around our humans World!! No Way...

Sharing a life with a cat is an honor and a joy and it means to us a grace of its soul and body.

If only you know what to look for....

Winter Basic For Your Pet

With snow and freezing temperatures coming soon.

It is time to prepare yourselves and your pets for the winter season.

We at Stinky's Kittens & Doggies Too offer these tips to keep your pet safe during the cold weather.



A dog's coat provides some insulation against the cold, but short haired dogs may need a coat or sweater for additional warmth while outside.

Dogs can fall victum to frostbite, just like us humans.



Dogs have to work harder to stay warm when excercising outside.

Increasing there food supply, particulary protein, will keep them and their fur in tip top shape.



Coolant and antifreeze can spill in the garage or on the street and are lethal poisions for dogs and cats.

A dogs paws, legs and stomach should be wiped off when coming in out of the rain, sleet , snow or ice.



Pets belong inside with the rest of the family. Providing a warm place to sleep off of the floor and away from drafts, will keep dogs and cats feeling comfortable during the cold months.



Check out our warm beds at our store for your dog and cat...



Save a pets life mostly cats and kittens during the winter season.



Outdoor cats will climb under the hood of cars for warmth, so please be safe and bang loudly on the car's hood before starting the engine t five any sleeping cats or kittens a chance to vacate.

Medication Madness

Drug interactions are sometimes the cause to your pooch's illness.

When Giving Meds: What To Ask For

All medications have side effect. When your dog is prescribed medication, make sure to get all the information on the medication and ask the following questions:

1. What is this medication for?

2. What are the side effect of this medication?

3. Are there any medications or foods that need to be

avoided while my pet is on this medication?

4. What should I look for in my pet to know if there

is a problem?

Question For The Holidays..How Can I Tell If My Cat Is Too Fat??

Well you can do a body test.

Look down at your cat.

You should be able to see a waist when you look down from the top or where you run your hands from its ribs to its hips.

Run your hand along its abdomen from it ribs to its pelvis and it should be indented.

If you put your hands on the side of its chest you should be able to feel its ribs without a thick layer of fat over them.
