With people spending more time at home due to COVID, Pet Poison Helpline has seen large increases in calls relating to several household pet hazards. As baking became a popular hobby, calls regarding bread dough and yeast increased by 250%. With pet owners enjoying their morning cup of coffee at home rather than at the office, we saw a 220% increase in calls involving brewed coffee. Many people also turned to household projects and art to keep busy which led us to a 118% increase in calls regarding paint and art supplies.

Massage is growing in popularity as a supplemental remedy for injury, pain and stress. Drug-free, it relieves muscle soreness, improves circulation and reduces inflammation. Reflexology, an ancient practice rooted in Eastern medicine, is a type of massage that enhances traditional bodywork and can be used as a complementary treatment. What is reflexology, and how does it work? Massage therapy students learn about reflexology during a massage therapy program, preparing them for an entry-level position as a massage therapist.

Interested in helping pets in your community? Adopting a homeless pet (or two) is an excellent way to save an animal that needs a loving, permanent home. When you adopt a dog or cat from a shelter, you free up space for another animal to have a chance at a new life. However, not everyone can make a long-term commitment like adopting a pet. Shelters and rescue groups are always in need of fosters to provide temporary homes for pets until they can be adopted.

All puppies have their own personality. Some are bold, some are shy, some are loving, and some are protective. Then there are those that are stubborn, especially when it comes to potty training. No matter how much you love your new little companion, repeated potty accidents in the house sometimes has a way of decreasing your fondness.

Vietnam is one of the world’s largest consumers of rhino horn for use in traditional medicine. The demand there has helped push this distinctive animal to the brink of extinction. The animals are killed for their horns and a small number remain alive and suffer in agony after the horns are hacked off their faces. It is immense cruelty for no reason: rhino horn is made of keratin, the substance found in hair and fingernails, and has no curative properties.
