“It’s Magnum the Cat here to tell you it’s time to clean the outbox. I can’t use it, it’s almost full. While I’m waiting for one of the Humans to clean my ‘outbox’ I have time to share with you another of our tricks to taking better pet photos.”
Magnum, you need any help with today’s trick?
“Yes, Eddie, I do. Let me ask you a question. When do the Humans give you a treat?”
Just about anytime.
“No they don’t. You normally have to do something good in order to get a treat. Sometimes it’s by giving a good response to one of their questions. Other times it’s just to get you to relax.”
Come to think of it, you’re right. What’s that got to do with today’s trick?
“Today we’re going to talk about pet treats.”
Magnum, I like where you’re going with this.
“Eddie, it’s actually a good idea to keep some pet treats handy when taking pet photos, and for a couple of reasons. One, you may be able to use the treat to encourage your pet to do something worth taking a photo of and second, if the pet does something great during your photo session, reward them with a treat.”
Do I ever like that idea! My favourite treats include dog bones and dry pasta. I like how it crunches when I chew it.
So today’s trick is to keep treats handy and use them as rewards when taking photos.
Be sure to watch your inbox for another trick in a few days, which will give you time to practice today’s trick.

(NC)—While pets are an important part of our lives, our relationship with them suffers when they have bad breath. We reject their kisses, their cuddles and stop playing with them as often. Many owners think their pet’s bad breath is normal, yet they don’t realize it may very well be a sign of something much more serious, harmful bacteria.
Similar to humans, plaque build-up on our pet’s teeth can cause infections, destroy gums and result in the loss of tissues and bone that supports the teeth. Bacteria from periodontal disease can also spread through the blood stream via inflamed gums and affect the internal organs.
“While some pet owners don’t realize the importance of pet dental care, research shows that there is a strong connection between oral health and overall health,” says Dr. Clayton MacKay, DVM, director of veterinary affairs, Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada. “That is why it is essential that owners know the basics of at-home dental care.”
To educate Canadians on this issue, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, are encouraging pet owners to brush their pets’ teeth daily and feed them specially formulated foods clinically proven to reduce gingivitis and the accumulation of plaque and tartar. Specifically, owners need to look for food with the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal, as it indicates it has passed a standardized evaluation process.
Protecting your pet’s oral health is an important way to ensure good overall health. Plus, clean teeth means fresh breath, which means more kisses, cuddling and a better relationship with your pet!

(NC)—A fresh smile is a healthy smile. Although we try our best to take care of ourselves by exercising and eating well, we sometimes forget to do the same for a very important member of our family… our beloved pet.
That’s why the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, is ensuring pet owners learn the link between proper nutrition and oral health. The food you feed your pet can contribute to the development of plaque and tartar, which increases the likelihood of developing periodontal disease.
Owners often think their pets’ bad breath is normal, yet it may be a sign of periodontal disease caused by harmful bacteria. When bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up on pet’s teeth, they can cause infections, tooth loss and the bacteria can spread through the blood stream via inflamed-gums affecting internal organs like the heart, liver and kidneys.
“Recent research highlights the connection between oral health and overall systemic health,” says Dr. Clayton MacKay, DVM, director of veterinary affairs, Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada. “As a veterinarian, I have seen first hand the importance of nutrition and how it can help a dog or cat maintain good oral health. Feeding proper nutrition to your pet is the single most important thing you can do for your pets’ overall health.”
Feeding your pet specially formulated food that is clinically proven to reduce gingivitis will help prevent harmful bacteria. Owners need to look for products containing the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal, which ensures they meet pre-set standards for plaque and tartar control in cats and dogs.
