You have a heart as big as the knowledge you share with your following. I would also like to let your readers know I am your sister and that Kelly is one of a kind. She has loved animals since she has been able to walk. I also call and ask for advise for my two rescue kittys, two Ragdolls, and even my husband when necessary LOL. The reason I am writing is for a little issue that you may be able to help me with. My two Tabby’s ( Loki & Lexi) were rescued first. They have 3-ish yrs before we got Puff Puff. Then we got Baby Bleu 8-ish mon later. The challenge is that Puff is deaf. We developed a way to communicate with her right away, no problems. We have never treated any of our babies differently special but, lately, I notice the other baby’s “snubbing” Puff when they are all playing together. One on one interaction is civil but not lovie. Is there something I could try to do to get the 4 more “together”. I see Puff desperately trying to play with the group but then she gets to rough (shes just over 2 yrs) and they all run and hide. Any ideas? Love you sister…Great site, Reply cremation services pittsburgh says: September 7, 2013 at 2:53 am all my pets have their vaccinations every year and they have a regular visit to their vet..i do love my pet and i don’t want to lose them.. Reply KellyB says: October 6, 2013 at 3:23 pm It is very important to take your beloved pets to the vet annually…kudos to you. However, you really should do your research and use reputable and informed sources when it comes to determining proper vaccination schedules for your pets. Most often only using the recommended CORE vaccines is appropriate. Just do a search on Dr. Ronald Schultz (University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine) who is a world renowned Veterinary Immunologist and who has over 40 years of research and experience with canine vaccines. Reply Katie says: July 11, 2013 at 9:52 am Hi Kelly- Thank you so much for all of the information you provide on this blog, I find myself here at least once a week searching for an answer about something. I have four cats, they normally have dry (grain free) food out all day long and I feed them wet twice a day. I have been hearing more and more stories about health complications due to dry food. I am trying my best to move them to all wet but I’m not sure how much to feed them. I have also been advised to try and start mixing the raw patties into their wet food and try to move in that direction because it would be better health wise and cheaper in the long run. I feed them Wellness Core and if I follow the directions for feeding I’m going to end up broke. Can you offer any guidance? Thanks! Reply KellyB says: October 6, 2013 at 6:38 pm Hello Katie… I must admit now that I no longer own a natural pet food store feeding five cats and a dog (and two humans) has gotten much more expensive…so I feel your pain!! As I’ve always said, just do your best and don’t stress too much. The fact that you do grain free dry food, canned and some raw is fantastic. Here is what I do for my five felines… All of my cats are in fairly good “ideal” weight (around 10-11 lbs). I feed measured meals three times per day to reduce the hunger feelings and for better/easier digestion and blood sugar levels. Meals are comprised of: two dry food meals per day and canned food once per day. I have been very happy with the Pure Vita Grain free dry food (chicken and/or fish formulas). Pure Vita also has a frequent buyer program . I rotate the canned food (usually grain free formulas) daily between Wellness, Natures Variety, and Weruva and a few other natural brands on occasion. I like the three brands I mentioned because they have 12-13 oz cans that are less expensive per ounce and larger size for feeding multiple cat households… Honestly bugs me that more cat food companies don’t offer larger cans as many people have more than one cat in the house!! I add L-Lysine to their canned food as all of the kitties were “former feral” older kittens and two had a brother who had Herpes Virus so bad in his eye that he had to have an eye enucleation (surgical removal)… FYI.. that kitty is very well, spoiled and living in a loving home. I also add a pinch of Prozyme or Animal Essentials Enzyme Probiotics to their dry food. One last thing… I give the kitties Answers Raw Goats Milk (1/2 Tablespoon per day) daily as it is so nutritious and they LOVE it… check out my separate post on Goats milk and included video of my kitties literally waiting in line for their serving!! So to summarize… As long as you provide the best natural and meat based foods for your kitties that includes plenty of moisture (canned, raw, goats milk, etc.) and digestive enzymes to break down their food and probiotics for gut balance… your doing GREAT! >^..^< Reply Stephanie says: May 21, 2013 at 9:42 pm Hi Kelly!! Just wondering if you might have a minute to provide some of your wise and useful advice… As you know, my German Shepherd mix, Cassie, can be quite a “nervous nelly” sometimes. And, I think she is becoming more anxious with age. She turned 14 in February and I’ve noticed some changes in her since last fall. For example, normal routine at our house involves one last trip outside before bedtime and a snack for all three dogs when they come in. Cassie must be able to tell time, because every night about 15 minutes before the dogs will be going outside, she begins to pant and pace and stare us down to let her out. This behavior I understand, however, after the bedtime routine is over, Cassie continues to pant and pace and make many trips to the water bowl. It seems difficult for her to settle down and find a place to lay. Especially if I stay up later, it seems to make her anxious and she goes upstairs, then back downstairs, gets on the couch, gets off the couch, makes a trip around the kitchen, gets back on the couch, and round and round we go for about an hour. Sorry for the long-winded story, but the bottom line is: Have you ever heard of or used the Springtime, Inc. product called “Stress Free Complex?” I have had GREAT results with some of their other products, and was wondering what you thought of this one and its ingredients and if it might be helpful for Cassie. She is otherwise very healthy for her age; she drinks quite a bit, but this has been a pretty usual habit for the last few years. Her appetite is decent as well. Below is a direct link to the “Stress Free Complex” page on Springtime, Inc.’s website. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Ke...
