A t some point or another, almost every dog and dog owners home will get fleas.  It doesn't mean your home or dog is dirty, unclean, or anything to be embarrassed about, it just means that for yours and your dogs comfort, it is important to rid your home and pet from them as soon as possible.  Many owners, upon…

Originating in Germany, the German Shepherd Dog consistently ranks as one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the United States year after year.  It is a handsome breed of dog that is versatile enough to be the world's number one breed of police dog, as well as guard dog, herding dog, yet be a loving family companion…

Since Cleopatra's passing,  Gwennie cat has been very very ill.  At first it was not so noticable but she was getting thinner, spitting up what I thought was hairballs but I noticed blood.  I took her to see Dr. Butler then end of March and all through April and she kept  losing weight with first coccidiosis which he treated...and vomiting blood and bloody diarrhea. It was frightening. She had lost weight like 1 1/2…

A lot of prospective dog owners, when considering the breed they choose, assume that the longer the hair, the more shedding they will have in the house and on the furniture.  Actually among the heaviest shedders are the medium haired, double coated dogs such as…

After watching the live footage of the tornado outbreak across North Texas on Tuesday afternoon, I couldn't stop thinking about how many pets were most likely displaced due to down fences and destroyed homes. So with the assistance of my WildfirePetRescue group, we started a Facebook page dedicated to reuniting the lost fur-kids with their families.

In less than twelve hours of being posted, the page had over 1,000 likes and…

Cleopatra, the cat who inspired Louis Pollaro to begin the Pet Commando Reality series last August, was put to rest yesterday.

Louis first noticed a black and white lump of fur on the steps of an office building during last summer's Texas drought. He could see it was a cat, but was certain it was dead.…

Yes, Peanut Butter... no, I haven't lost my mind!  There are actually several things you can use peanut butter for while grooming your dog to make some things go a little smoother and get you out of a jam.

I have seen many things get into a dog's hair, including tar, glue, gum, stickers, and in one case a whole…

I just want to share with you how my new dog Pierson is doing. This is the same dog from my blog post in January about the strays living at a park for nearly a month. One dog, the Chow mix has been adopted. I kept the other dog, an Australian Shepherd and/or Border Collie mix, and named him Pierson after the park he had been living in.

Pierson and the Family

Pierson and my Labrador Maya get along fantastically. They…

Originally bred and designed to help fishermen retrieve fishing nets out of icy waters, the Labrador Retriever has been ranked number one of all registered breeds in the U.S. since 1991.  Today it is popular among hunters to retrieve waterfowl, as service dogs for the blind, police work, but mostly as a loving and…

Marlee and Roxie are sisters who are insperable. They were born under a porch July of 2010, and soon made their way into our home as our precious pets. Company relocation is causing us to have to give up our sweet kitties, and more than anything we want their new home to be a safe, loving one!

I have the transferrable vet information from Stonebrook Vetrinary, regarding shots and each cat being spayed. They still have their back claws, but were declawed on front paws. They are super…

As dog owners, most of us have come to expect seeing hair around our houses, on furniture, on curtains, on our clothes, and in places that we can't even imagine how it could possibly even get there!  In most cases, we have come to accept the hair as just a small price to pay for having the love and companionship of…

There are so many people on PetCommando.com who have had huge hearts, and have taken in lost strays, abandoned, and dumped dogs and cats and are willing to be true Commandos by doing so.  I see many of the postings looking for the owners or trying to find homes for them, and thought I'd make a few suggestions to help to find homes for these pets more quickly.  As a dog groomer for the North Texas/Southern Oklahoma area, I have the potential…

Did all you you get a message from anilove? This person sent the exact same message to several members. The message is asking you to email them. PLEASE DON'T. It seems that this person is phishing for your email and/or other personal information. Promoting ourselves for what we do for pets is one thing. Scamming or phishing is quite another. Let's keep our community free of this kind of stuff.

As dog owners, we often scratch, rub, and pet our dog's ears or behind them, but far too often, we do not actually look inside them for the potential problems that might be developing there.  There are a large number of problems that can be happening within the dog's ear itself that we need to be aware of before it…

Most of my Facebook and Twitter friends know that I am looking to adopt another dog. My husband is wanting a Border Collie. When I mentioned this on Facebook, one of my friends got me in touch with a woman who knew of two dogs (one a border collie mix) who have been living at Pierson Park in Kansas City, Kansas for about three weeks now. There are people stopping by to feed them, but none of these people have the means to catch and care for these dogs. And no one wants to call animal control…

      The Akita originated in Japan, and was developed as a hunter of large game (including bear), as well as a home guardian.  In Japan, its image is still used to represent good health and long-life, and figurines of them are often given as a gift to newborn children.

     The Akita is a large, double-coated dog…

A small Iowa town has forced a retired Chicago cop and Vietnam veteran to part with the service dog who was helping him cope with a profound stroke that left him with no feeling on the right half of his body.

The dog’s crime? He is a pit-bull mix. It seems Aurelia — a town whose motto is “savor the sweet life” — banned the breed in 2008 after a pit bull bit a meter reader.

He and his wife, Peggy, recently moved to her hometown of 1,100 people to be closer to his ailing…
