  Are you tired of seeing your furry friend constantly anxious?  Anxiety is a common condition among pets and can be caused by various factors such as separation anxiety, fear, or past traumatic experiences. While some pets may display obvious signs of anxiety like excessive barking or whining, others may show less apparent signals such as excessive licking or scratching, avoiding eye contact, or changes in their sleeping or eating habits. It's crucial to pay attention to these subtle behaviors, as early intervention can prevent further distress and ensure that your pet gets the help they need.    Let's start with an important question: Do you know WHY your pet is suffering from anxiety? It's crucial to understand the root cause of their stress to find the best treatment plan. Does your pet dread loud noises or exhibit signs of separation anxiety? Perhaps they have an illness, or they're dealing with traumatic memories from years before.  And, unfortunately, some breeds of dogs and cats are just more prone to being nervous than others. Determining the cause of your pet's anxiety is key to finding the right treatment... (go to article)

Quick view: What to Expect When You Use Veterinary Telehealth...
Are you a pet parent who is considering using a veterinary telehealth service for your pup or kitty? It can be hard to know if vet telehealth services are the right option for you, what to expect when using them, and how to ensure they're cost-effective and beneficial for your pet's overall wellness. Never fear, PetHub is here to walk you through "Fur Kid Telehealth 101."   To help us, we recently had Dr. Seth Vrendenburg ("Dr. V" as we like to call him), a VetInsight licensed veterinarian, on our Pet Lover Geek podcast (you can listen to the pawd-cast here) and we'll share some of his insights below. Let's dig into pet telecare and how it will help your fur kid stay healthy and happy. Veterinary Telemedicine vs. Telehealth First, it's su-paw important to know that these are two distinct forms of veterinary care, both of which leverage technology to provide care for animals remotely. Let's take a quick moment to review both options and what they entail. Veterinary Telemedicine This is a service that enables the remote diagnosis of an animal's condition and the formulation of treatment plans with direct supervision from a... (go to article)

Quick view: When you Should use Veterinary Telehealth
It’s likely that if you’ve got a pet, you’ve seen ads all over the internet about veterinary telehealth services.  If you’re like a lot of folks, you aren’t really sure if you and your fur kid really need telehealth for or will use it.     Short answer: You do, and you will.    Veterinary telehealth, which can be through chat, text, or email, is a growing trend in the pet care industry. It provides cost-effective, convenient access to veterinary services for both pet parents and veterinarians. With veterinary care in high demand and the challenges these days of scheduling an in-person clinic visit, having online tools for veterinarian advice is a must-have. These services can benefit pet owners by providing timely, affordable chats with licensed veterinarians from the comfort of their homes, as well as allowing them to save time on trips to and from the vet.   Veterinary Telehealth Services Save You Time & Money   Reduce the Cost of Treatment: Veterinary medicine is likely one of the biggest expenses you have as a pet parent. Using telehealth often reduces the need for expensive vet office visits... (go to article)

Quick view: How to Choose the Best Dog Food
TL;DR: PetHub has tools to help take the guesswork out of finding the best food for your pet. Ah, the age-old debate of what to feed our dogs. The quest in finding the “best” food options for our pets that match their nutritional needs is one of the most common things pet parents try to research online. When we surveyed pet parents recently, we learned that the range of monthly costs for pet food (between $50 and more than $300) and types of pet food given (kibble, canned, fresh, raw, dehydrated, or something else) varied for each pet and their family. Reviewing survey responses helped to illustrate that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for the “best” pet food for the animals we care for. That said, we were excited to dig into the science behind pet food in a recent Pet Lover Geek podcast episode and wanted to share some of what we learned in our interview with veterinary nutritionist Lisa Weeth. A Brief History of Pet Food Believe it or not, the pet food industry was born back in the 1850s, when a man named James Spratt came up with the idea to turn hardtack (a biscuit used by sailors) into a dog biscuit. At the time when Spratt's Dog... (go to article)
