Balls Of Yarn

It seems as though cats and balls of yarn are a match made in heaven, right?

Well, allowing your kitty to play with yarn, string, thread, rope, or any other items like that is a significant health hazard, warn veterinarians.

They can swallow thread-like toys when playing with them, and if that thread becomes looped around the base of their tongue, their intestines can bunch up around the string, which may cut through the intestinal wall!

Wireless Dog Fences

Wireless dog fences produce a sound, vibration, or a small electric shock through the collar to prevent dogs from roaming around beyond your property.

But according to vets, they’re NOT worth spending your money on. Ultimately, all they manage to do is confuse your dog because they can’t see their boundaries.

A wireless fence might also prevent your pet from fleeing a dangerous situation, like a wild animal or stray dog entering your yard.
