  • Please confine your neutered animals until full recovery

    I just spoke to an acquaintance who told me about his female dog. The dog was spayed, but was discharged after 2 days. He was not advised that he should confine the dog for another few more days before releasing her. So he released her into his large compound to be free again and mingle…

  • Hiro, the Princesses and their father!

    Hiro is very active, but still not eating as much as he should. Maybe his weight gain would take a bit more time. Best to go slowly and steadily than to rush these things. Coco&Joe’s has a formula for weight gain, it’s called Premium Combo and I’ve already bought it for him. The Princesses eat…
