Frame Your Pets - Info

(NC)—Painting, inarguably, is the most economic home makeover. And for any pet-populated household where the roller and brush are being readied to hit the walls, you may want to take pause for the paws and make sure the paint being used is a smart choice for your pet as well as for all of your family.

Going green—eco-friendly—in your selection will help assure the safest solution. When it comes to paint, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are no-nos. Without getting too scientific, VOCs are groups of chemicals often found in conventional paints and other building and decorating materials. Exposure to them can pose health risks. So, a zero-VOC interior paint, like Benjamin Moore’s new Natura, is an ideal choice, especially since it remains at zero-VOC even with the addition of the colourants needed to tint it the deepest, most saturated of hues.

Natura enjoys a checklist of other advantages. It is virtually odourless, dries fast, has excellent adhesion and provides a durable finish. What’s more, while Natura is sustainable “green,” the colour green is just but one of more than 1,800 colour choices available, plus it can be custom colour-matched to personal specifications.

For any of the millions who open their hearts and homes to pets—Canada’s pet dog population is estimated to be at about 2 million, and the cat count at about 2.3 million—it’s reassuring to know there are ways to make their living space a safer, and even more colourful, environment.

November 2, 2009 - Ministry of Agriculture and Lands

VICTORIA - The Province is soliciting input from B.C. veterinarians and the
general public regarding possible changes to B.C.’s Veterinarians Act.

Provincial legislation regarding the veterinary medical profession protects
the public interest by ensuring the regulation of the safe and competent
practice of veterinary medicine in B.C. The legislation, first enacted in
1907, has been updated infrequently over the years. The Province is
considering amendments to the current legislation in order to modernize the
Veterinarians Act, making it more consistent with legislation covering other
self-governing professionals.

There have been a number of requests over the years from veterinarians to
update the act. As part of this review process, the Province has created a
web page to gather comments and ideas related to how veterinarians are
governed. Comments can be submitted using the email form on the website.

Those interested in providing input can do so by accessing the following
webpage: www.al.gov.bc.ca/clad/strategic_land/strategic_land/VetAct/Veterinarians_Act_Consultation.html .

Anyone unable to submit their comments through the email form may also
submit comments via fax to the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands at
250 356-6791, or via regular mail to:

Strategic Land Policy and Legislation Branch
Ministry of Agriculture and Lands
PO Box 9303 Stn Prov Govt
Victoria, B.C. V8W 9N1

Comments will be accepted until Dec. 2, 2009.
