Fireworks are too loud for many pets. Here’s how to keep them safe – Boston News, Weather, Sports

(CNN) — We may find beautiful and festive fireworks, but they explode like magnified gunfire in the ears of many of our pets, which are exquisitely sensitive.

Measuring between 150 and 175 decibels, the fireworks were louder than many planes at takeoff (about 140 decibels). Decibels measure the loudness of a sound while hertz measures the frequency of a sound.

Human ears are damaged at a mere 85 decibels. Yet we can hear to only about 20,000 hertz, while dogs can hear between 45,000 and 65,000 hertz. Just think of the physical and emotional damage that might occur to a

Metro Phoenix program works to keep pets with owners experiencing homelessness

When Mike Grimler lost his home, he knew a lot was about to change.

But when it came to his two dogs, Peanut and Maggie May, there was no way he’d continue without them, he said.

The dogs had been with Grimler since they were puppies, he said, and when Grimler’s fiancée got sick toward the end of last year, he promised her that he would keep them safe.

For Grimler and many other people experiencing homelessness in metro Phoenix, having animals can be a barrier to finding emergency housing. Few shelters in the Valley can accommodate pets. That’s why

Most tick bites go unnoticed. Here’s how to identify and treat them

Ticks may be tiny, but they’re worth making a big deal over. They can spread serious diseases to you and your pets, so it’s important to be on the lookout for tick bites pretty much year-round — and pictures of tick bites can help you identify them.

With changing climate patterns and milder winters, these days, “every season is tick season,” Matt Frye, Ph.D., an entomologist and educator with the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program at Cornell University, tells TODAY.com.

“There are ticks active all year,” he explains. “So if the temperature is above freezing, you have a

Finding pet care could become easier with these solutions

Pet owners face a potentially big problem as the veterinary field deals with a growing shortage of veterinarians.

Researchers at Mars Vet Health claim a boom in pet adoptions, especially during the COVID pandemic, and the retirement of approximately 2,000 veterinarians each year have combined to create that shortage.

They now estimate that nearly 41,000 additional veterinarians will be needed by 2030 to meet the growing demand.

Currently, some pet owners said they were already seeing delays in getting appointments with some practices booked weeks and months in advance.

With all this in mind, the Solutionaries team investigated possible solutions.

HEALTH NEWS: We spill the tea on pet care lectures at this year’s VMX conference | Lifestyles

Caring for aging pets, recognizing pain and the perennial topic of feline house soiling: These were just a few of the hundreds of sessions presented at the Veterinary Meeting and Expo (VMX) last month in Orlando. Dr. Becker attended in person, and I attended virtually. We go to veterinary conferences to learn about advances in veterinary medicine and find news for future features. The sessions are aimed at veterinarians and veterinary technicians, but we’ve rounded up some takeaways for pet owners.

Animal rescue group help spay and neuter Texarkana pets | Texarkana

TEXARKANA, Ark. – Animal advocates are offering low-cost spay and neuter clinics to help combat the overpopulation of pets in the Texarkana area.

Last year, the Arkansas side of the city passed an ordinance requiring pets to be spayed or neutered. The spay and neuter clinic not only helps prevent unwanted litters, or pets that get dumped and left behind, but animal advocates say it also improves or promotes the animal’s health.

Friends Furrever, a local animal rescue group, is sponsoring the clinic at the Texarkana shelter.
