Dogs – Welcome!

“To live with a dog is to know firsthand that animals have feelings. It’s a no-brainer.”
Marc Bekoff (Professor Emeritus of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Boulder CO)
Author – The Emotional Lives of Animals

Welcome Dog lovers!

Whether you’re a long time dog guardian or simply curious about our canine brethren, here we’ll be sharing the latest information about their care, emotional lives and the extraordinary bond we humans have been sharing with dogs for thousands of years.

Did you know: Ancient humans did not domesticate the wolf. Rather, wolves with particular traits domesticated themselves in a genetically selective process to gain access to our garbage heaps!

“We’re so fortunate to be alive in this age of information. New and astounding data about animals is being discovered daily by those in the veterinary, behavioral and cognitive fields, busting apart centuries of old dogma. And, not a moment too soon! Our greatest gift as humans is to remain open to new info and be willing to change our outdated beliefs and perceptions, for this planet’s sake and our own.” – RA Conroy

Like Ms. Conroy, we here at The Pet CARE Pro are forever students, hence this gazette. We’re here to learn too, right along with you.

It’s a breathtaking, exciting time. We are standing at the cross roads of major sociological, evolutionary change and a paradigm shift of the highest order; one of the mind.

So, leash up Fido and and walk with us around the next bend. Let’s see what’s new on the horizon.

Did you know that Fido is an ancient Roman name meaning ‘ever faithful’?

The Pet CARE Pro recommends:

• The Genius of Dogs by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods: Just how smart is Fido? Be prepared to have your mind blown!
• The Emotional Lives of Animals by Marc Beckoff: An eye-opening book about animal emotions and “why it matters.”
