  • Pet Parents Alert: Bird Flu Risks and Precautions for Cats and Dogs
    Dr. Alleyne advises pet parents to stay informed about bird flu outbreaks. While primarily affecting birds, some cases in cats have emerged, likely from raw meat consumption. To protect pets, avoid feeding raw meat and limit outdoor activity. Watch for respiratory symptoms, especially if exposed to raw meat or dairy farms, and consult a vet for potential testing.
  • TikTok's "Mah-ah" Cat Call: Effective or Just a Fad?
    Dr. Dwight explains that the "mah-ah" call's effectiveness varies. It may work due to its novelty or mimicry of appealing tones. However, factors like a cat's personality or desensitization can limit success. Alternatives include using the cat's name, treats, clickers, or high-pitched sounds.
  • Veterinary Insights: Is Pasta Safe for Your Dog?
    Dr. Alleyne advises that dogs can eat plain pasta in moderation, avoiding harmful ingredients like garlic and onions. "Pasta sauce is not recommended," he notes. Pasta should be a rare treat, as excessive amounts can lead to obesity and diabetes. While pasta offers minimal health benefits, it can provide energy, but other foods are more nutritious.
