Photojournalist Kevin Lamb welcomes the warmer weather and a chance to meet new canine buddies… oh, and talk to their owners, too I love the work that I do for Orillia Matters and its fellow Village Media news outlets in the region, while meeting interesting people and sharing their struggles and triumphs within the community. With the onset of warmer weather, I cover many outdoor events every month, such as charity walks, sporting events and more. And although I consider myself a fairly outgoing “people person,” it’s the dogs that I meet along the way that I love the most.…

Rochester-area veterinarians are reporting a sharp rise in cannabis poisonings among dogs that are eating products containing the drug, usually in the form of edibles. “Five or 10 years ago, we might see one or two dogs that ingested marijuana or THC a week,” said Dr. Simon Kirk. “Now, we would see, easily, three or four cases a week; sometimes three or four cases in a day.” Kirk, who is the medical director at Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services in Brighton, isn’t surprised at the surge of these cases since New York state legalized cannabis for medical use in 2016…

It’s that time of the year again so I suppose we can expect to see Easter eggs on the shelves soon enough… In the meantime, Hairy Dog is running a special offer – a serious £20 discount on Christmas gift vouchers.

Over lunch at a hotel on the edge of an industrial city in the middle of China, with roars coming from a wedding in the next room, two women were telling me about their cats. One had been given a stray kitten only a few weeks old which had grown into the most devoted pet. “She’s more like a dog than a cat. She follows me around everywhere and sits looking at me, even in the bathroom,” she said. She reckoned that feeding and taking care of the cat cost the equivalent of about €40 per month and she had…

In sunny Cornwall I’ve just done my first inspections for 2021 inside the hives. It’s been warm enough for some people to walk around in just t-shirts and for me to wear a t-shirt and cardigan, so it was time. Good news: both colonies are alive and queen-right. Bad news: one (Kensa) is showing signs of chalkbrood disease. My inspecting of Demelza went comically wrong. I started by trying to get all my equipment ready so that I could do some queen marking. I opened a brand new queen marking pen bought last summer and tried to use it on…

Qoday’s consumer is not only concerned about their physical and mental health, but also their pet’s health. In June 2022, Euromonitor International identified the top five trends in pet care. Both premiumization and well-being are on that list. The report revealed humanizing pets, owners are increasingly eager to provide them with high-quality, premium food and products. Premiumization involves giving pets foods made from ingredients people will accept on their own plates. As consumers are seeking for specific benefits from the products they purchase, brand owners are expanding their premium products with the aim of achieving higher margins. More than ever…

Last Friday evening, as drizzle fell on the tarmac, 10 passengers boarded a Gulfstream G4 headed from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Farnborough Airport, just southwest of London. They didn’t seem to notice the plush leather seats or the treats nestled in champagne flutes in the armrests. They also hadn’t particularly enjoyed clambering up the aircraft’s stairs. This was the inaugural flight of K9 Jets, a private jet charter company based in Birmingham, England, founded in response to both a growing desire among pet owners to travel with their animals and mounting frustration at the increasingly challenging process of…

Researchers have studied samples of raw pheasant dog food and have claimed that “the majority” contained “high levels of lead”. In a new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge, experts have said that dogs’ health could be put at risk by consuming raw pheasant dog food as “the majority” of tested samples contained “high levels of lead”. The scientists say that raw pheasant pet food could be a health risk if “consumed frequently” by dogs as lead is a toxic metal that negatively affects the body systems of people and animals. In particular, nervous systems can be affected…
