Frustrated Pet Owners Turn to Private Jets to Fly Their Animals

Gino,
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…

Dog health at risk from shotgun pellets in raw pheasant pet food

Gino,
Researchers have studied samples of raw pheasant dog food and have claimed that “the majority” contained “high levels of lead”.

Which Season for Dog Photography?

Gino,
A Dog For All Seasons Let me start by saying I’m so grateful just now for the dog photography. Hairy Dog has allowed a small amount of income to keep trickling in at a time when others have been less fortunate. Socially distanced outdoor sessions, peppered with the scent of hand sanitiser have become the norm for me and my clients but just being outdoors, meeting people and dogs has helped keep me relatively sane, so thank you if you’ve had a session recently! Over the last month, there has been a flurry of last year’s Christmas gift vouchers coming…

But the owners of her buildings had pets themselves, and told her she could keep her nine-year-old cat Lola until she died. “They said I could keep her and not get a new one,” Bartley said. “That was the agreement we had. We were expecting another five years, not another 10. We are so blessed with the time we have had with her.” Lola is now almost 20, and is an integral part of Bartley’s life. “She…
