The  Bow & Wow Times editor’s page recommends, “As informed pet parents, we can take the lead in making sure our furbabies get the best of both worlds by taking an integrative approach that combines both conventional and alternative.”

Paying attention to your pet’s eye health or condition is important. Certain breeds may be prone to eye disorders. On the other hand, senior pets can develop age-related cloudiness.  Alerting your veterinarian on marked changes in your pet’s eyes can prevent serious eye conditions from creeping in. Learn some basic preventive eye care by skimming through the article, “The Importance of Proper Eye Care.” Flip the pages of the magazine and find lots of useful tips and insights, like “Sorting Out Supplements for Dogs,” and “What Does Your Pet Say About You?”

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a Washington D.C. based non-profit research organization recently issued results that the average home today contains 70 and more   toxic chemicals, and your pets may likely end up contaminated by some of these. How serious can the danger be? Read the article, “Are Our Homes a Toxic Environment” and learn ways to reduce the level of your pet’s chemical exposure.

The new issue of the Bow & Wow Times also gives a rundown of things you can do as pet parent in between and prior to visits to the veterinarian. Peruse the article, “The Annual Vet Visit Checklist.”  An updated knowledge will go a long way. Check out also some practical tips to keep your dog or cat’s teeth healthy.
