1. Regular Veterinary check: It is a myth that cats are self sufficient and don't need the regular care a dog needs. Cats need a wellness check up by the Vet on a regular basis, at least twice a year, to keep check on health issues with regards to nutrition and weight, dental check, behavioral changes as they age and regular vaccination and deworming. As your cat ages past 8yrs, the frequency of visits will need to increase to read the signs and avoid age related problems from setting in. 2. Yearly Vaccination: Vaccinating your cat even though he maybe entirely an indoor cat is not an option but should be mandatory. Vaccination is done to maximize our ability to prevent infectious diseases in our pets. It starts at 6-8wks of age and after the initial boosters it should be repeated on a yearly basis to maintain the required immunity levels in the body. You must discuss the required protocol with your veterinarian. The core vaccines that need to be given are against Rabies, Panleukop

A little reference about what exactly Doga  is all about. Quoting directly from Wikipedia : Doga  (a portmanteau of "Dog Yoga") is the practice of yoga with pet dogs. Through acts of meditation, gentle massage, and stretching, doga practitioners seek to achieve a greater harmony with their dogs. Canine acupuncture and chanting are also known to take place within the occasional doga routine. In Doga, the submissive dogs and their human masters work as one unit - the masters help their dogs facilitate different poses and, in some cases, the pets are used as props or instruments while the masters perfect their poses. This is seen to be a Zen way of practicing non-traditional yoga and training, while exploring power play dynamics. Doga has received some criticism from the yoga community. Doga classes have been labeled inappropriate for trivializing the sacred practice by turning it into a "fad", for their lax policies on teacher certification, and for the dogs' inte

Read on to understand the reason why your Vet recommends you to feed your pets their special diet. This is just a brief review of a few of the common things you must avoid feeding your cats and dogs. 1.  Chocolate, Coffee and Caffeine Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that is toxic to dogs in large enough quantities. Chocolate also contains caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, and certain soft drinks. Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of theobromine and caffeine. For example, dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain more of these compounds than milk chocolate does, so a dog would need to eat more milk chocolate in order to become ill. However, even a few ounces of chocolate can be enough to cause illness in a small dog, so no amount or type of chocolate should be considered “safe” for a dog to eat. Chocolate toxicity can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid or irregular heart rate, restlessness, muscle tremors, and seizures. Death can occur within 24 hou
