Holi, the festival of colors marks the arrival of spring season and this jubilant occasion brings us a lot of fun and entertainment including the playing session with gulaal and water balloons. Though we are excited about the prospect of throwing colors on each other, pets and stray animals present outside detest getting hit with these balloons and colors. We can easily figure this out by seeing them run frantically during the celebration. Moreover, only a few of us are aware of the adverse health impacts these colors can have on our four legged friends. Stray dogs and cats are the ones who are most exposed to these gulaal and water balloons. While we all can easily wash the color off after the celebration, these animals cannot. The stain in their skin, over a period of time, can cause them a lot of health problems. Even the colors which are sold as “herbal and non-toxic” are not devoid of danger. It, therefore, becomes important to exclude your pets and stray animals from the...

Have you given your pet a massage recently? The hands-on therapy isn't just for humans but also provides a few benefits for our furry friends. Massage Relieves Aches and Pains Dogs and cats can't complain about tight muscles, but that doesn't mean that their muscles aren't sore after a vigorous session of catch-the-Frisbee or a frenetic midnight dash through your house.

our snoozing dog suddenly starts moving his feet, but his eyes stay closed. His body starts to twitch and quiver, and he may vocalize a little. He looks like he is running on his side, possibly chasing something in his dreams. What's going on? Why Your Dog Twitches in His Sleep Just like us, dogs dream. They go through three sleep stages: NREM, non-rapid eye movement; REM, rapid eye movement; and SWS, short-wave sleep. It is in the SWS stage that a dog breathes heavily while he is sleeping. Animal experts theorize that dogs dream during the REM stage and act on their dreams by twitching or moving all four paws as if they were chasing a rabbit. Dogs who sleep all curled up must keep their muscles tensed and are therefore less relaxed than dogs who stretch out when they sleep and are less likely to twitch in their sleep. For reasons yet to be explained, young puppies and senior dogs tend to move more in their sleep and to dream more than adult dogs. If you are sleepin...
