Though most Americans have never heard of chicken frostbite , it is a condition that can have serious consequences for backyard chickens. Pain, impaired mobility, decreased egg production and changes in fertility are possible side effects of frostbite, though these symptoms may be slow to manifest. Though a well-designed and comfortable chicken coop will often provide protection, mild cases can be unavoidable even when a flock’s keeper diligently takes preventative steps to fight it.  As the name implies, chicken frostbite occurs when the birds are kept in extremely cold weather. It usually affects combs and wattles, which are a chicken’s most vulnerable parts. Since a wounded wattle or comb often attracts pecking by other chickens, it is imperative to identify the symptoms of frostbite and provide quick and timely chicken first aid to infected chickens. Effective treatment requires that the finest organic chicken frostbite salves be applied directly to affected ar...

A recent study of pet ownership found that nearly 40% of U.S. households own at least one dog. As residents in these 45 million homes understand, dogs are loving, loyal and affectionate animals who provide constant companionship and protection. Dogs are happy when their owners are happy, cheer owners up when they are sad, shower owners with unconditional love and affection and even get sad when owners are absent. For these and many other reasons, dogs are appropriately called man's best friend.   Most owners pamper their pets, going the extra mile to ensure their dogs are safe, healthy, warm, have plenty to eat and feel like a cherished member of the family. They only want the best for their dogs—the best food, treats, sleeping pads, medications, supplements, shampoo and more—though most have never considered purchasing mosquito repellent for dogs . Mosquitoes may seem incapable of harming furry animals but a dog can still be bitten, particularly in areas with less fu...

Getting a tattoo involves much more than simply showing up, selecting a design and leaving after the process is finished. It requires research—picking a tattoo, a trusted artist and reputable parlor—as well as psychological and physical preparation and care, both before and after getting inked. The perfect tattoo can be chosen because it tells a story, expresses something about the wearer, makes a political or religious statement or for many other personal reasons. Because a tattoo is permanent—lasting an entire lifetime—selecting one which will remain meaningful is very important. When choosing the tattoo studio and artist responsible for transforming your vision into a reality, one should spend a considerable amount of time checking out options. It is never advisable to rely on results of a Google-search and select the closest location without also weighing other considerations. It is recommended to take into account training, experience, portfolio, verified reviews,...

Embracing our natural beauty goes beyond the makeup, lotions and moisturizers we purchase. The movement encompasses everything which comes in contact with our skin and body, including deodorants and antiperspirants. The vast majority of Americans apply deodorant on a daily basis without ever considering its ingredients or the long-term effects of its use. Deodorant remains the most effective way to control body odor, which is an extension of the human body’s natural process of perspiring. Perspiring (or sweating) is an essential function, as it naturally regulates the body’s temperature and effectually removes toxins. This natural detoxification process is important for controlling what remains inside the body. Perspiration causes bacteria to grow and these bacteria break down in hot, humid areas of the body—such as armpits. This bacterial fermentation results in body odor. Deodorants and antiperspirants work by closing or clogging lands and preventing the natural release of per...

Pets are an integral part of the lives of billions of people across the globe.Recent research indicates that nearly 70% of Americans own at least one pet and, of these, 90% consider their animal to be a member of the family. In the US, pet ownership has more than tripled over the past 50 years.  Dogs, cats, birds, snakes and other pets provide their owners with tremendous amounts of affection, unconditional love, companionship and friendship. Because pets are entirely dependent upon humans, it is our responsibility to ensure their health and safety. One way to show loyal and lovable pets we care is to purchase natural, organic and non-toxic products like lotion for dogs , cats and others. Natural pet products provide many benefits, including: •    Improved overall health •    Safer and faster healing of wounds and injuries •    Increased lifespan •    Safe for humans who administer the products In addition to bein...

According to Christopher Ingraham of The Washington Post, “Mosquitoes may be the absolute worst organism inhabiting Earth today.” Aside from the annoyance and aggravation that billions of itchy bites bring, mosquitoes carry a number of terrible diseases that annually kill hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. Humans have sprays and other defenses to battle dangerous mosquitoes, but these insects can be just as problematic for our defenseless pets, especially dogs. Dogs love to be outdoors, particularly when the weather is nice. Since we cannot lock our four-legged friends indoors during an entire mosquito-season, we must take steps to minimize exposure to bites and the potentially deadly diseases they transmit. • Eliminate Stagnant Water Similar to humans, mosquitoes require water to live. Reducing access to water can prevent adult mosquitoes from breeding and producing even more of the pests. In addition to standing water in yards, birdbaths and other common areas, co...

Tattoos date back to the 1700s and, over the past few decades, most stigmas that were previously associated with the tattoo culture have disappeared. What had historically been a form of artistic expression for males only—particularly in the military—became a mainstream phenomenon. Today, tattoos can be seen everywhere and their popularity continues to explode.  Tattoos generally fall into three categories. Symbolic tattoos carry some special, often private, meaning to the wearer. To a general onlooker, the tattoo may not mean or represent anything but it nonetheless often holds important and personal meaning. Decorative tattoos are purely for decoration but do not have significant personal meaning. Examples of decorative tattoos include solid bands, scrollwork and beading. Overwhelmingly, the most popular category is pictorial tattoos—a depiction of a specific image or person. Pictorial tattoos can be absolutely anything…a turtle, a car, a superhero, an actual person, a dat...

This love must be rewarded with a safe home, balanced diet and proper care.

Total care includes regular bathing, checking paws, trimming nails, cleaning teeth, a commitment to timely check-ups with a veterinarian and other actions. Owners should remain knowledgeable about different health care options available for their pets so that, if necessary, they are able to make educated decisions regarding care an...
