When we’re tired, agitated, or upset, it’s always nice to have a “happy place” where we know we’re safe and comfortable. Be it a favorite chair, your bed, or a home office, a place that we enjoy and is explicitly ours can almost always make us feel better. When you have these places, it’s comforting to know you’ll never have to worry about finding somebody in your recliner, or come home to your crisply-made bed swirled in a twist of blankets.
This piece of mind is incredibly important to us. So, wouldn’t it then make sense that our pets would appreciate the same thing? Of course it does! For all the unconditional love and friendship our pets give us, giving them a bed or cushion all their own is really the least we can do for them.
Pet beds not only give pets something that becomes theirs, it will also make their lives happier and more comfortable. Would you want to lie down on a cold linoleum floor? Probably not, but you could definitely see yourself in a cozy memory foam bed, and your pets will too.
Adequately padded pet pads and cushions will ease the burden on their joints, helping with the aging process as well as the recovery process should a furry friend require surgery. The Foam Factory, an online source of pet beds, can provide the comfort your pet needs.
The best part though, is when your pet feels good, it makes you feel good too. So giving them a place to call their own really is a win-win!

When your life is hectic, it’s easy to forget to take your pet to the vet. There are tons of reasons to skip going to the vet, but when you do, you risk your pet’s health. As a general rule, veterinarians are there to prevent your pets from getting sick; they also treat your pets when something is wrong.
How Often Should Your Pets See The Veterinarian?
Generally speaking, your pets should see the veterinarian at least once a year. If they are young and healthy, you’ll quickly be able to notice if something is wrong with them. As they age, your pets might need more frequent care; illnesses in old age tend to advance rapidly. A quick checkup every six months is ideal for your pets when they start getting older.
Your veterinarian will give your pet the vaccines it needs to stay healthy; coincidentally, these vaccines need to be administered every year. When you make sure your pet gets all of its vaccinations, it’s very likely to stay healthy throughout the year.
If your pet is showing the following symptoms, make sure to get them to the nearest animal emergency hospital:
- Decreased Appetite
- Extreme Weight Loss
- Lethargy Or Depression
- Constant Vomiting Or Diarrhea
Use common sense when it comes to your pet’s health; if you take pets to their scheduled appointments, they lead a healthy and happy life. When your pet is showing real symptoms of an illness, don’t hesitate to bring it to a veterinarian as soon as you can; you may end up saving its life.

Mommy came home and showed us our very wonderful new year gift pack from Fancy Feast. Of course this was way overdue since it arrived in January but we forgive mommy because the gift arrived in Singapore and not where we are living. We are so thrilled to see this goody pack. Can’t wait to gobble them up! Thank you Fancy Feast!

Pet boarding facilities can be the perfect solution for people who don’t have anywhere to leave their pets when they go on vacation. Perhaps you’re going to a destination where pets aren’t allowed, or maybe you just don’t want to deal with the hassle of taking your pet along with you. Whether you feel like your pet would be more comfortable at a pet boarding facility or whatever the reason you can’t or don’t want to take your pet with you, there are plenty of facilities across the nation where you can learn more about boarding your pet.
Some pet boarding facilities offer pets their own rooms for them to stay in complete with luxury pet beds. Many people fear putting their pets in pet boarding facilities because they’re afraid that their pets won’t have good accommodations. However, not all pet boarding facilities require pets to stay housed in cases close to other pets. There are some pet boarding facilities that offer pets their own luxurious accommodations just like the ones that we would expect for ourselves.
Additionally, just like we enjoy resorts and spas, so do our pets. That’s why some pet boarding facilities come complete with spas for pets that offer pets a variety of washes and grooming services. Nobody wants his or her pampered pooch or spoiled feline to come home dirty. Pet boarding facilities that have a spa on site keep your pets looking and smelling good for their return home. You can even elect to sign your pet up for 15-minute massages at some pet boarding spas and facilities where those services are offered.
Many pet boarding facilities also facilitate socialization of pets. Therefore, they offer group play sessions where pets can play and frolic with one another under the supervision of certified trainers and pet service specialists, of course. Most facilities offer plenty of recreations time and treats to their pet guests as well.
If you want your pet to stay in a resort that is just as luxurious as your own, it is possible to find luxurious pet resorts and spas. Your pet is a member of your family, so you, no doubt, want him or her to be treated as such with a vacation and accommodations as extravagant as your own. Plus, when you place your pet in a luxurious pet boarding facility, you can rest easy in the knowledge that your beloved pet is comfortable and well taken care of.
