  • The raw deal: The wonders of raw food (Wendy and Potato’s story)

    This is a follow-up to the earlier story about Wendy, my friend’s dog: https://animalcare.my/2019/12/24/the-wonders-of-raw-food-another-sharing/ Wendy took to raw food (Coco & Joe’s barf) instantly and on that very same day, her 3-times daily seizures stopped. My friend took a risk and after a few days, took the medication off.  Wendy continued eating 100% raw, and until…

  • The raw deal – a rabbit treat for everyone

    Pole and Cleo have been getting rather picky lately, so I knew it was time for a change and a treat for them. They always have this eating “pattern”, I know. So, I got them some Coco & Joe’s barf and recently, they launched their all-new Rabbit Recipe. I know, I know, we are talking…

    This would be a never-before-seen footage in 13 years 7 months….. It IS history in the making….. The three super alphas in close proximity, sharing a blanket.

  • The raw deal – Chew on this!!

    A cat’s dental health is something very important. I know, especially after giving palliative care to Vincent who had stage 4 kidney failure. For Vincent’s case, we did everything possible for him, but he simply had extremely sensitive gums. He went through two dental surgeries earlier on, had good teeth removed because his gums would…

  • The raw deal: The wonders of raw food (Wendy’s story)

    Ever since our cats went on 100% raw food, I have been writing quite a bit about this. I’ve also been telling some friends how much a 100% raw diet has been really beneficial for our cats. So, one of my friends decided to try raw food for her dogs. One of her dogs, Wendy,…

  • Ginger….why, oh why?

    Ginger has issues…. Issue 1: He only wants exotic meats and he doesn’t like chicken. But exotic meats are expensive, Ginger, and we cannot afford to give it to you on a daily basis. As it is, he’s already having his exotics every 2 days. So, he goes on hunger strike on chicken days. And…

  • It was just hairball, silly!!

    Referring to this post from early this morning where Pole refused food: https://animalcare.my/2019/12/22/the-boycott-of-the-year/, I postulated 6 possible reasons for it. And started worrying…. Sometime mid-morning, Pole vomited some hairball and thereafter she was perfectly fine again! So it wasn’t any of those 6 reasons! It was just a case of hairball causing some discomfort! At lunch…
