Parkinson's is a neurological disorder that affects a person's ability to move. Common motor symptoms include a tremor at rest, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement and postural instability. Additionally, people with Parkinson's often deal with depression, anxiety and cognitive decline. Pets can play a role in easing some of these symptoms through their need for interaction and their ability to engage with people.

Looking to hit the road with your family's dog or cat – or both? Bringing your pet along for a trip, both long and short, is a nice way to add some excitement to their day and explore new places. It may also cut down on paying for a kennel, cat sitter or dog watcher.

Finding your rabbit a companion.

Bunnies enjoy the company of other bunnies. They love to nuzzle and groom each other, to sleep on top of each other and to share a big plate of salad or a box of hay. The sight of two bonded rabbits enjoying each other's company brings joy to all who witness their happiness.

Although they are naturally sociable, rabbits do not always know this important fact about themselves. Introductions can be a thorny business and stressful for all involved.

Your New Best Friends!

In San Diego, there are many bars and restaurants that tout their "dog friendly" status- and why not, we know San Diegans love their dogs, and we all enjoy going out for food and drinks. But you get to the restaurant and you find a dirty water bowl by the door and the ability to have your dog sit quietly under your table as long as the other guests aren't bothered.

Why do horse owners spend so much time and effort in nurturing and pampering the last few inches of the horse's leg, reading never ending magazine articles about the hoof, attending clinics about hoof care, reading blogs and even arguing about the best approach to care of the stubby little piece of anatomy? Why do people, such as myself, dedicate a large portion of their lives and careers to the care of the equine foot?

The equine foot or hoof is the source of about ninety percent of all equine lameness. Problems of the foot provide us a fair share of lost riding hours and aggravation. The foot is a complex system, perhaps the most complex portion of the equine locomotor system. The equine foot is the first line of defense against the rigors of the outside world.
