Keeping Pet Records Online Has Never, Ever Been Easier. And It's Free.

With moving, traveling, rescue dogs, showing and an ever increasing amount of pets in my home I have been looking for something that would do it all.  And I found it.  Zooza.  It is free.  Or almost free, if you enter a dog event from the site then you pay a small fee.

When you go to the site you will be able to make a profile on your pet.  That will include your basic information.  Microchip. And for the dog show or rescue folk co owner information. You will be able to check if you want the co owner to access the information and be able to change or modify it.

Next is the page for registration, titles, health certifications and pedigree.  I told you that this is really cool . . . 

As you continue you will find that you are able to have your rabies vaccination certificate and other records downloaded into the cloud and be able to get them anytime.  You are also able to list your Veterinarians and all of the information needed to contact them.

To top it off there is place for photos.  As well as to search and enter shows and other events.  

I really cannot think of a reason not to use this service.  Since I am not techie there are no pretty pictures instead you get a quick shot that I took with my Iphone.

 

 

 

 

Ever Wondered Why Some Dogs Watch TV and Others Don't?

Well there is now an answer, it is all in how they see.

It turns out that dogs eyes are not what we once thought that they were. It turns out that not all dogs have the same eye. It turns out that dogs can have different types of retinas.  And that depending on the type of retina that your dog has will determine if your dog is a car chaser or tv watcher.

I remember when Pickles was having her eye issues and we were visiting a Veterinary Opthamologist and my husband asked about her tv watching.  The Doctor that we were seeing said that "dogs do not see tv".  When we left my husband said that he did not want to take her back since he knew that dogs watch tv.  Turns out he was right.

To get the full story head on over to Catalyst:  Dog's Eyes.  It is a quick read that will explain it in more depth.  Without a doubt you will understand your canine friend a little better.

Saving Money At The Veterinarian . . . You Can Do It!

You really can.  Without sacrificing your pets needs. I am saving $17.50 by getting a having a prescription filled at Krogers rather than at my Veterinarians office. You can save even more by getting a prescription written for 90 days worth.

Now I love my Vet and I want to support him and keep his practice growing and profitable, however these are tough times.  And you have to do what you have to do to keep your pets healthy.

Before I had my prescription called into Kroger, I explained my situation and asked if he could meet it or come close.  He couldn't so he called it in for me.  Simple as that.

Wal Mart, Kroger, Target, CVS and all the others have $4 prescription lists and many times you can find a generic for the current medications that your pet is taking.  Since generic is good enough for me, it is good enough for them.  Except on a time released thing.  If it is time released, we get the real stuff.

By all means do not take this to say mean that I am telling you to shop discount mail order stores or places like that.  Only shop at well known pharmacies.

All pharmacies can provide prescriptions for pets.  So that should not be a problem.  It is just a matter of finding one close to you that can supply what your pet needs.

Veterinarians should be familiar with this. It has been done for a long time.  When times are good and we are busy we just forget about stuff and want to get it done in one stuff.  If your Vet refuses or wants to charge you for the services, find a new one.  The American Veterinary Medical Association actually has a Fairness to Pet Owners Policy Act that is right here.
