How do I know if she needs to see a specialist? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1307793.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1307793.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I've been seeing lots of ads for pet insurance but I'm not sure whether I should get it for our new puppy. The hospital we go to offers a plan but it's only for basic care at one place. Do you have an opinion? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1296339.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1296339.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: My small beagle, April, is getting fat. I've tried everything to make her lose weight and she won't budge. She now only gets one cup of food and one pig ear a day. Please help! http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285736.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285736.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT It's a question that comes up frequently for interior designers: How do you create a stylish living space when a dog that sheds or a cat that scratches is part of the mix? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285298.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1285298.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: My cat Cassandra is the fattest I've ever seen. I adopted her as a 20-pounder and never managed to get the weight off. I started feeding her only a small handful of kibble twice a day but she got sick and had to be hospitalized for fatty liver disease. The vet said it was my fault for feeding her so little, but I'm worried she's eventually going to die of diabetes or heart disease. If only she would exercise! http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1273919.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1273919.html Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I have two black pets, Frosty the cat and Chocko the dog. I live in Coconut Grove on a gated property. My pets are always inside the fence but some of my neighbors have told me to be careful since black pets are often targeted this time of the year. I always thought this was an urban myth. What can I do to keep them safe outdoors? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1331168.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1331168.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Q: I recently heard that lawn chemicals can cause cancer. We spray for fleas and ticks every few months but otherwise leave the grass alone. Is it unsafe to keep letting our pets out on the lawn? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1319566.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/pets/story/1319566.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Q: My condo association recently adopted a rule that limits pets to one per unit. It's all because some residents aren't scooping their dogs' poop. As a cat owner, I think this is unfair. My cats need one another. Can you convince them otherwise?
