Three days in a row I gave her 1/2 can of Friskies canned food each morning as well as she had dry to munch on during the day. After that I planned on giving it to her as a treat occasionally as I...

    Fresh Step Cat Litter

    Has anyone noticed that a few months ago Fresh Step changed their litter from a fine litter to one with carbon fighting odor things in it. Its not a fine litter anymore so I dont think it clumps nearly as good as it did. The scoops fall apart more and leace bits in the litter box so it needs a...

    Just curious how much all of us pay for a regular exam.

    I started out with a vet that charged $30 for an exam and paid an additional $22 for a feline lukemia shot. He treated Mia roughly I thought. I really didnt like him. My daughters dog recently was bitten by a wolf hybrid. We took him to a differant vet. We had to drive 25 miles but it was well...
