The cats completely eliminate rodent infestations without poisonous chemicals or toxic sprays.  Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.petside.com/news/working-cats-program-helps-save-ferals.html 2008-03-28T04:00:00Z http://www.petside.com/news/get-your-pooch-a-playmate.html Of course your dog loves you ? he follows you from room to room, he?s always ready to accompany you on a walk, and if you?re away even for just a few minutes, he greets you like a long-lost friend when you return.  But as much as your dog loves you, chances are that your company doesn?t meet all his social and emotional needs.

In short, he needs one or more doggie playmates.  Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.petside.com/news/get-your-pooch-a-playmate.html 2008-03-28T04:00:00Z http://www.petside.com/news/cat-grooming-at-home.html Since becoming domesticated by man thousands of years ago, many of today?s cats are not capable of properly grooming themselves, especially if they are sick, old, overweight, or in a climate in which they are not bred to live.
