April 2010 Pets Newsletter
Dear Readers,
We hope you had an enjoyable Easter Break. As we settle into the cooler weather, we look at some annoying issues pet owners are commonly faced with. At the top of the list is house-soiling in dogs and cats - these 'wee' problems are serious because they are a frequent reason for relinquishing pets. We've also got some handy tips on training dogs, correcting bad habits like jumping up and treating motion sickness. Don't forget your older pets as we head towards winter and look out for any changes in their behaviour - a check-up is a great idea for them at this time.

How Dogs Learn
