It is estimated anywhere between - of all dogs and cats in the UK are overweight. So what has caused this rise in our pets waistlines? The RSPCA blames owners for over-feeding their pets, giving them an incorrect diet and failing to provide enough exercise.

Your dog isn't human.Unless you believe in pet psychics, there's really no way foryou to read your pooch's mind and figure out exactly what she'sthinking. The good news is that, like many dog owners, theproblems you're having can probably be traced to one simplething: you're trying to communicate with your dog from a humanstandpoint, and your dog isn't a human. Sure, you know that, butlots of humans try to relate with their dogs in the ways thatthey think are rational as humans.

The rule of thumb when it comes for space for Koi fish, is that each pair of Koi need around  gallons of water at least, this means that if you are planning on keeping around ten Koi fish, then you will need  gallons of water on average. If you do decide to keep Koi fish ponds, or any fish pond in your garden then it is always a good idea for you to invest in some netting to go across the top of the pond and this will do several jobs. The first thing it will do is that it will deter your Koi fish from jumping out of the pond as Koi tend to leap around a bit, the second thing it will do is to keep any unw...]]></content:encoded>

It isn't easy breeding betta fish, there is a lot that you need to know about these fish before you even get started, but if you do decide to try breeding betta fish then it can be very rewarding. Not only will you have the pleasure and luxury of seeing newly born betta fry, but you can also make a substantial living off of breeding betta fish. Yes, that's right, your favourite pets can make you some extra cash! All you have to do is a little bit of research before you begin. Your first task is to actually locate a female betta fish.
