If your dog or cat is used to being your only “baby,” and now will have to share you with a “new addition,” it would be best to start preparing your pet when you first find out you are expecting, rather than waiting until you bring your new bundle of joy home from the hospital.
Ticks bite, feed on blood, and sometimes carry diseases. They do not fly or jump, but crawl. Ticks are common in overgrown and wooded areas. They generally find their way onto us or our pets when we brush against low-level plants or vegetation. These areas are the places my dogs love to romp in when we are on a walk.
According to a study by UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, there is
a psychological relationship between women and their pets. The dog or
cat tends to be the anchor of support when family members are not
available either physically or emotionally. The study also reveals that
women living entirely alone with a pet are significantly less lonely
than those living without a pet.
