Re: What to do about a hacking cat...

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////


My cat has long hair and loves to groom himself..

Keeping clean is a great thing, and cats have less skin problems than dogs because they keep themselves clean.

But all this grooming produces an unwanted side effect..Hairballs!!

I woke up this morning and stepped in a big juicy hairball on the way to the bathroom.. GOOD MORNING!

I am thinking that there are many other cat owners out there with this same problem.

They are some simple solutions, if you havenâ€(TM)t tried anything yet here is what has worked for me..

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

LUBRICATION. An easy way to treat hair balls is by using petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Place ¼ inch in his mouth. If he is uncooperative, then you can place it on his front paws. Use twice daily for 5 days. Tastier versions are available from pet supply stores, such as Felaxin and Laxatone. These are flavored with added nutrients to make the petroleum jelly go down easier.

A FIBER DIET. Additional dietary fiber will aid in the expulsion of hair from the stomach through the intestinal tract. If your cat gets hair balls on a regular basis, then they should be on a high-fiber diet. There are specific veterinary diets higher in fiber. Another option is to add canned pumpkin to their diet; most cats like it.

GROOMING. The less hair your pet has, the lower number of hair balls. Brushing your cat daily will remove loose fur before your cat has a chance to swallow it.

HAIR BALL REMEDY DIETS. There are a few specific hair ball diets. They contain additional dietary fiber as well as papain, a compound found in pineapple to aid in digestion.

PINEAPPLE JUICE. This is used to treat hair balls in rabbits, and may be effective in cats. It contains an ingredient, bromelain, which can break down some hair. The dose would be 1 tsp twice daily, if you can get it into your cat â€" Good Luck!

Buying A Golden Puppy

We all know that Golden Retrievers are beautiful, obedient, and make great family pets and hunting dogs. Golden’s also make great guide dogs for the blind, narcotic detection dogs, and even tracking dogs for finding missing people. Although there are many other dog breeds out there, Golden Retrievers remain one of the most versatile and most astonishing breeds that you can get.

Before you rush out and buy a Golden Retriever puppy, you should first take the time to learn a bit more about the breed. You can attend dog shows, meet with various owners of Golden Retrievers, and even go to your local kennel club. Most people who own Golden Retrievers are extremely proud of them and will be more than happy to share their enthusiasm with you.

When you buy you’re Golden Retriever puppy, it’s always a great idea to buy from a backyard breeder or local puppy mill. Backyard breeders are normally the best way to get a Golden puppy, as they know and care a lot about the breed in general. Although you can always go to a reputable breeder, backyard breeders aren’t just in it for the money - they actually care about their dogs and want you to get the best Golden possible.

You can also visit the Golden Retriever Club of America and their local member clubs, as they can supply you with a list of breeders in your area. If these breeders don’t have any Golden’s for sale themselves, they will be more than willing to help you find what you’re looking for. This way, you can get a Golden from a very reliable source.

Whatever you do, you should never rush into buying a Golden Retriever. You should always take your time, and have a little bit of patience. When you buy your puppy, you want a healthy puppy who will grow up to be a fine testament of the breed. By taking your time and making a careful decision, you can save yourself a lot of time and money later on down the road.

Golden puppies that are poor quality, are normally produced by breeders who just want to have a litter or breeders who are just looking for the profits and care very little about giving thoughts to looks, quality, or temperament. If you buy a puppy from either of these breeders, you’ll more than likely end up with a puppy who has poor health, poor temperaments, and even disqualifications in breed.

When you get your puppy, you should always think long term. Only buy from a quality breeder, and you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Always remember that you aren’t just buying a Golden Retriever puppy - you are buying a companion and a friend for life.
