Woof Woof Wednesday: Astrid's Halloween Treats

Today, Astrid wanted to show you all one of the cookies she got to enjoy for Halloween. Our attempt at photographing her with it didn't go as planned, though. Even so, can you see the cookie in this poor lighting?

Astrid made sure to grab her cookie up before Evan could consider it.

You really can barely see the cookie in those photos. So, we'll show you the entire set of cookies we got from our local pet store. The purple witch hat on the left is indeed the one Astrid is waiting to devour in the photo above.

To Astrid's dismay, she didn't get to scarf these all down in one sitting. She had to spread them out, and she even still has one left to enjoy. Astrid sure loves her some cookies. Then again, who doesn't?

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Tip of the Day

It's Pet Cancer Awareness Month, so we have another cancer prevention tip for you today. We're here to talk a bit about vaccines. While vaccines can be important for the prevention of various diseases, especially for those furbabies who go outdoors or are in another way more susceptible to disease, it is still crucial that you be knowledgeable about the potential side effects of some vaccines. In some cases, vaccines can lead to injection-site tumors, commonly cancerous fibrosarcomas. To help prevent these, you can keep furbabies, such as cats, indoors. This could render some vaccines far less necessary, since your furbaby would likely not be exposed to the diseases certain vaccines cover. In other cases, such as if your furbaby does go outdoors or might be exposed to certain diseases, simply do your research. Ask your veterinary office what types of vaccines they use, as some vaccines do not contain the components typically believed to cause injection-site tumors. Vaccines are often a highly debated subject in any case, so always be knowledgeable about them, about what kind your veterinary office uses, and which vaccines your kitty or pup might need.
