Congratulations on choosing a hermit crab!

Bones are an essential part of a pet's diet and are especially useful to maintain dental health and to aid in alleviating the often humdrum normality that is a tragic part of the lives of many Twenty-First Century pets.   Bones are an excellent source of protein and minerals and they perform the very useful function of keeping a pet's teeth free from scale and tartar.

Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone, used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure.  By mimicking the cat's natural facial pheromones, Feliway creates a state of familiarity and security in the cat's local environment. As a result, Feliway can be used to help comfort and reassure cats, while they cope with a challenging situation and/or help prevent or reduce the stress caused to a cat during a change in their environment.

Dry food, canned food, raw food, cooked food, just meat, vegetables.... Just what is the right food to feed your dog? The answer you will get will probably depend on who you ask and what they feed their own dog. And here's our opinion...

The RSPCA recommends pet owners keep their cats indoors from dawn to dusk. Many people are now choosing to keep their cats indoors at all times. Why?

It's the stuff nightmares are made of. The monster from the deep canal strikes again. Imagine an alien beastie invading your ear. How would it feel to have an eight-legged, hairy, ugly demon exploring every part of your ear, crawling relentlessly next to your ear drum, eating your own body fluids, defaecating with abandon as it moves and relentlessly produces more of its kind?

Are you up to date with the new cat vaccinations that are now available or do you have some needling doubts?

Look at your cat. Do you have a needling worry that you've neglected something? Has your puss-cat been vaccinated in the last twelve months? Oops!!

Cats, like dogs, can have extreme reactions to some foods. But cats, unlike dogs, can get to places where risky food types may be within easy reach. Read this to help keep them safe...

We often hear people tell us that their cat does not play with the toys they buy them. For cats it’s all about finding out what it is that gets their curiosity going...

Breeding fish is not as dull as it may sound. I remember how paternal I felt when my guppies had puppies - or fry as they are called in the industry. It was all very exciting at first. Then the unmentionable happened -infanticide. The guppies gulped the puppies with glee.

Do your fish have trouble deciding whether to sink or swim? If so, the advice below will help to keep your fish in fine fettle.

A list of things you should consider if you're thinking of getting tropical fish.

A list of things to get you started with your new goldfish.

Siamese Fighters, or Betta's as they are also commonly known, are one of the easiest fish to look after. They're a hardy fish and if you can get a few basic things right, you'll end up with a very happy fish!

I was against the idea - at first. Sure, I'm a vet and love all creatures great and small but . . . a chook as a pet? Then it was all my daughter's teacher's fault. She was the one who decided to let the grade six class learn about chickens, hatching, birth and the cabbage leaf principle and hence two dozen fertilized eggs arrived at the school at exactly the same time that my daughter's blue eyes developed that 'Dad-I-will-die-if-I-don't-have-a-chicken-as-a-pet' look.

If you have never had chickens as pets then you are missing out on one of life's rich experiences. They are absorbing pets and produce consumable by-products! They are also easy to keep healthy but there are some common conditions and diseases that you need to watch or you may end up having a crook chook.

Taming and training a pet bird is, to say the least, amusing. A bird can be trained to perform so many feats of skill that a clever bird can give new meaning to the phrase 'bird brain'. However, taking your bird's training to the stage where it can talk and perhaps sing like a Pavarotti Parrot is very rewarding!

Chickens make wonderful pets and unlike dogs and cats, you can eat their produce! If your considering getting a few chooks (as they are known affectionately in Australia) for your back yard you need to know how to make a chicken friendly chook house.

Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) is a disease that leads to feather loss and can eventually lead to the bald parrot syndrome. This disease is, to say the least, a nuisance. It affects parrots (Psittacines) of all types but a form of the disease can also affect doves and pigeons. In Budgerigars the disease is sometimes called French Moult. More...

Scaley Face is caused by a mite known as either the Scaley Face Mite or the Scaley Leg Mite. In canaries the same mite causes a condition commonly called Tassel-Foot. The mite's scientific name is Cnemidocoptes. Being an arachnid, it is an eight-legged beastie and is the smaller cousin of the spider, the tick and the scorpion. It burrows under the scales of the legs and into the keratin of the bird's beak. However, it can also be found around the vent of birds and on their wing tips. More...

Is your bird a picture of health or does it look more like a feather duster with an identity crisis? Recognising when your bird is unwell is important because by the time it looks unwell it can be in serious strife. The following information may help to ensure you treat your feathered friend quickly should it be suffering from an illness.

Even if the thought of feeding your bird from your own table or plate has never crossed your mind have you given thought to what your bird might be able to help themselves to when your back is turned? If your bird has freedom inside then there needs to be caution.

While your dog or cat might be nice and content to curl up with you in front of the heater, your bird is most likely to feel a little snuffly and sneezy... Check out these great winter warmers for your bird this winter...

Can you imagine an amputation without an anaesthetic? It sounds horrific but it happens on a daily basis in the dog world. The procedure is tail docking in infant puppies.

Can your dog spread disease to you with the greatest of ease? And what about your cat? Are there man-eating microbes oozing from every one of your cat's hair follicles? More...

Tail docking of dogs is now illegal in Queensland. Thank goodness that commonsense has prevailed. For decades, animal welfare groups and the Australian Veterinary Association have been campaigning for an end to tail docking and, along with tens of thousands of other people, I am delighted.

Have you noticed the tumbleweeds of cat and dog hair wafting over the floor lately? It’s a sign that you need to get into grooming to make your pet more comfortable, to prevent your pet’s coat from matting and to stop those fur balls accumulating in every corner of your house.

Saturday morning and it's time to bathe the pooch! What are you going to bathe it in? While that sounds like a simple question, it can be quite complex. It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Many of us neglect our once-a-year pet-care jobs because we forget when those duties are due. Nevertheless, it becomes easier to remember such things when we link them to a particular annual event such as the group of holidays that occur around Easter time. With Easter closely followed by Anzac Day and then Labour Day, times like this can be use to remind us of our yearly duties for our pets.

Spring into action now that spring has sprung to ensure your pet is prepared for the warmer weather. You will need to groom your pet to remove the remains of its winter coat and you should watch for the hundreds of fleas and ticks that are organising their assault on your pets. These nasty parasites have just stirred after their winterýs rest. Mosquitoes are all a buzz and are ready to spread heartworm disease. Even flies and worms are set to worry your pets.

After studying 80% the dog genome, the Institute for Genomic Research in Maryland, has determined that dogs and humans share almost 19,000 genes and from this, that dogs are more closely related to humans than the mouse is. Considering that humans have around 30,000 genes, perhaps the dog is no longer 'Man's best friend' but more 'Man's close relative'. No wonder we love our pooches.

It's wonderful sharing your life with a pet but not so good when the pet shares disease with you. Ringworm is the 'social butterfly' of pet diseases and is quite happy to flit from pet to pet and, from pet to owner. It can even spread from an infected owner to his or her innocent pet!

Some dogs & cats are highly sensitive to flea bites and only one flea bite can cause them to itch terribly. Sometime this leads to them gnawing away at the hair and bald patches may occur. In other cases they may be less sensitive to flea bites but the irritation is like us having multiple mosquito bites.

Regretfully, you may not know your dog has worms until it is sick. In puppies, a worm infection can cause a life threatening condition to develop quickly.

The pooch on the consulting room table was a portly lump of podge. He hobbled into the surgery, crippled with arthritis and was also panting and puffing with the exertion of transporting his portly frame. His owner was concerned about why her big boy was limping but the fact was that the dog's lameness was entirely due to the owner's wrongful attitude to the pooch's diet. He was being fed too much of the wrong types of food. Dogs are not little humans and should not be fed human food.
