Specialty

4 Legs & A Tail • November 12, 2011

Holidays, Birthdays, and Anniversaries can be a stressful time for those faced with one difficult question: What do I give for a gift? Many choose from a standard list including items as such IPods, cameras, and other electronics, as well as appliances and clothing, but now more than ever, people are opting to give pets, kittens and puppies seeming to be the most popular, as gifts to their loved ones.

 

Pets can make irreplaceable companions and unbeatable gifts, which I found out first-handedly on three separate occasions. I received Sadie B, a Pomeranian, for Christmas, the year I turned eight years old, and Bailey, a German Shepherd, for my seventeenth birthday.

Thunder, Fireworks and Other Scary Stuff

By 4 Legs & A Tail • June 5, 2015
We are once again heading into fireworks and thunderstorm season and every day it seems I am asked what can be done about Muffy fears of loud noises: “My dog hides in a closet during storms.” “My dog tears up the house whenever there are fireworks.” “My dog sits in a corner, pees on the […] The post Thunder, Fireworks and Other Scary Stuff appeared first on 4 Legs & A Tail.

Jenn Grenier, Burlington Emergency Veterinary Specialists- Williston, VT It was a beautiful, summer day and I was out walking with my dog Shadow, soaking in as much Vitamin D as possible.

Keeping Your Pets Healthy This Spring

By 4 Legs & A Tail • February 16, 2015
Spring is here and with the warmer temperatures we also start to see many dogs that either are vomiting, have diarrhea or both. A few years ago I think I figured out why we seem to see this epidemic of GI problems in the spring. My theory is that all the birds, mice, chipmunks and […] The post Keeping Your Pets Healthy This Spring appeared first on 4 Legs & A Tail.
