Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: There are many options to consider if our pets are diagnosed with cancer. This article reviews the conventional options; there are pros and cons to any treatment method.

Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: From early kittenhood, kitties practice stalking and catching their prey. This little kitty has two very strange looking foes - scary!!

 The first time you deal with a pet emergency that may require CPR will be a very stressful/scary situation. A great graphic to help comes from the American Red Cross ...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: I hope you never need to use CPR on your pets, but if you do, be prepared. Here's how.

 Have you ever had that “stuck” feeling? Like you’re just not quite sure how to move forward and you’re a little afraid to move at all, for fear you’ll make the “wrong” choice? I know there have been times when I’ve found myself in that position and, honestly, at those times I felt paralyzed...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: I love a lesson from my pets. Cats have their own special lessons to teach us. One is: less is more - don't hold tight. Here's a lesson about resourcefulness.

 We use the term “Cat Scratch Reconditioning” to explain the process of redirecting natural, healthy cat scratch practice; from “claws off” scratch surfaces to “claws on” designated scratch surfaces within a shared home environment, with the use of pawsitive reward and reinforcement through repetition...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Teamwork with a cat - almost sounds like an oxymoron - but that's what it takes to teach kitties where to scratch. With dedication and patience, it can be done, working together. Cats demand respect, not dominance.

Is your food killing you? Is your pet’s food harming his/her health?
These are bold questions for sure, but they are important to consider in this day and age where industrialization and mass consumerism have led to automated processes in the food industry that result in lower quality products and heavily modified produce...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Controversy continues about labelling GMO foods. This argument has focussed on people food - but what about our pets? Dr Basko leads the charge - what's in your pets' food?

 There is very little emphasis placed on wellness by today’s medical community. In fact, wellness seems to have become an arcane concept that is largely ignored by the medical and pharmaceutical industries in America today...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Wellness - a tribute to my teacher and mentor Dr Glen Dupree. Maintaining wellness is at the heart of homeopathic care. Thank you Dr Glen for your teaching.

Are you concerned with your animal companion’s state of health? Does s/he just not have that glow of good health?...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Dr Glen Dupree is my teacher and mentor of homeopathy. The last week of February 2011, Dr Glen became a patient of homeopathy. A year later, he taught a landmark webinar in miasms - I was blessed to participate in the course. (He had been told in 2011 he would not be here.) It is now two years after Dr Glen's horrible illness; he is losing the battle. But he won so much for his students and patients. I am one of many grateful students; I expect it will take the rest of my life to really have a grasp of this wonderful modality. Thank you Dr Glen for your inspiration. Here's Dr Glen's Overview of Homeopathy.

 I was born Manolo Mendez in 1953 in Los Palacios, South Spain. My father was a farmer. The bulk of his living was running cattle and sheep. Horses, donkeys and mules were always used on the farm and were essential to us in so many ways. I helped on the farm and learned to ride and work with horses from a very early age. I knew from the time I was very young that I had a special affinity with horses...
Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: A friend sent me this article link - posted on the Artistry Unleashed site. Hilary Austen, the author of Artistry Unleashed, has compiled wonderful examples of artistry from around the world and in many fields. This particular writing, by Manolo Mendez, demonstrates the artistry of the horse, its natural movements and beauty when in balance with nature and itself.

Editor's Note from Cathy Alinovi: Border Collies are a very intelligent, high energy breed who need a job to keep out of trouble. Zoe has found the perfect outlet for her smarts and her energy. I do think she may need a chiropractor after some of her tricks!!

As is the case with all animals, their past experiences have helped to shape their personality and behaviour. Most animals have been traumatised in some way. Separation anxiety, shock, physical pain, are all common life experiences. Many owners are unaware of these aspects of their animal’s history, as they predominantly focus on its physical condition...
