Cats can be great companions. They can keep
you on your feet with their crazy antics and love for playing around. They can also
get on your last nerve when they dig up the garden and use it as a litter box.
What’s worse? Digging up your neighbor’s garden and using that as a litter box.
Cats love to dig and for some reason they love to dig in the garden where they
shouldn’t be. Some cats even like eating or chewing on the flowers in the
garden, trampling them or digging them up. If you’re looking for ways to deter
your cat from these habits, try sprinkling lemon or orange peels around your
garden under or above the soil. Cats don’t like the citrus smell. You can also
look for citrus cat deterrents at the pet store. Make sure you buy all natural
to be safe on your cat and your garden. Click here for more tips or call your

Do Hedgehogs Need Vaccines?
When buying or adopting a new pet you may be used to checking on vaccination records and vet visit records. But are there such records to check for with a hedgehog? In other words, does a hedgehog need to have vet visits and if so do those visits include vaccinations? All pets including the hedgehog should see a vet for at least a first time visit to establish a medical and health history. During this visit your vet can help you determine what vaccinations are needed and what ones are mandatory for your area. Most hedgehogs do not need vaccines. Unlike cats and dogs, hedgehogs are not known to carry diseases such as distemper or rabies. However, your town or region may still require a vaccine. If so, talk to your vet Sonoma County, CA for the best way to proceed in vaccinating or not vaccinating. Schedule an appointment today!
Is My Ferret at risk for Heartworms?
Yes. You should assume that all ferrets are at risk for heartworm disease. Whether your ferret goes outside or not he could get heartworm disease from just one bite from an infected mosquito. Don’t think that could happen in your area? Heartworm disease has been identified in every U.S. state and province in Canada. The threat is real and it’s out there. Take precautions by having your ferret tested for heartworms. Place your ferret on a monthly prevention medication either in the form of a pill or via an injection if available (some areas do not yet have an injection for smaller pets like ferrets). Heartworms are dangerous. They can invade the bloodstream and quickly infect the heart, lungs and other organs. If you don’t know if your ferret has had heartworm testing or prevention medication, ask your veterinarian Sonoma County, CA.
Exercising your Lizard
Lizards may not look like a typical pet. They don’t purr like cats or bark like dogs, but this doesn’t mean they don’t need to be cared for like cats and dogs. Lizards actually need routine care from their human in order to feel content and well taken care of. One area in need of attention is exercise. Exercising your lizard can help your lizard stay and shape and it can be a time of bonding for the lizard and the owner. Lizards spend most of their time in an enclosure. Make sure you have him in a big one so he can move around, run around, roam and explore. It can be a good idea to add toys, climbing rocks, and even a sand or dig box to the habitat to encourage exercise and play. You can also exercise your lizard outside of his home. For more information visit your pet clinic Santa Rosa, CA.
