Pets in Paradise
It seems only fitting that February, the month for celebrating love and romance, is also American Heart Month, a time in which medical experts share tips that people can use to promote their cardiac health.
Just like humans, many of our pets can be susceptible to a variety of cardiovascular issues. In fact, according to YourDogsHeart.com, about 10% of all canines have heart disease, an incidence that increases to greater than 60% as they age.
With cats, cardiac issues are of particular concern, since felines tend to mask these signals better than dogs, and can therefore go longer without being detected.

In celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this month, it seemed only appropriate to shine the spotlight on one of the rarest canine breeds in the world, Ireland’s Glen of Imaal Terrier.

Moving into the new year, you may have resolved to improve your health by making changes to your diet or exercise regimen, but you may not be the only one in your household who needs a fresh start.
