Personal Narrative: Playing With The Puppies

No, eating some type of bug can give you a disease, but eating bugs at a restaurant are safe to eat. And sometimes eating a bug could taste really good. Another reason

These insects, such as fleas and ticks’ bites may contaminate your dog, cat, or even yourself. These infected bites may cause long term effects towards your life if left untreated. It is important to always be cautious in the outdoors as we don’t know everything that’s out there. It is also important for people to fumigate regularly, in order to keep away insects like these from invading your home and family.

same foods can be poisonous to any dog. There are certain foods that are toxic and

Thankfully the killer bee doesn't actively seek out victims to sting. It just wants to be left alone which is why it is so aggressively defensive. Killer bee deaths aren't uncommon, with an 81-year old man dying from killer bee stings

Bear in mind that some pest control products are harmful to animals, so make sure to discuss your types of pets with the pest controller before any product is

Flies, caterpillars, crickets, grasshoppers, ants, silkworms, pupae, tarantulas, scorpions, and more. Did you know that bugs are really healthy to eat and they’re easy to farm? Of course, you might think that it’s a disgusting and revolting idea, but have you actually tried eating one for food (And not as a dare)? They are packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, iron, and more, and they are cheap to raise, feed, and distribute to people. They could even help with iron deficiency and other common problems! Insects actually don’t taste disgusting, and they usually have a commonly shared nutty taste,

Most people would think that dogs and cats are polar opposites and don’t have much in common but that’s not exactly true. Compared to some other pets, cats and dogs have a lot of similiarities. To start off, they are both domesticated animals. Some people like to buy exotic or wild animals as pets, such as tigers or raccoons, and

This is not a dying dog story, rather a dying cat story. When I was about 15 my little sister adopted a little kitten named “faithful”. At the beginning, I actually kind of liked the little thing. I remember holding it and thinking how cute it was. I hoped it would stay that way forever. Unfortunately, it did not. I learned at a very early age that kittens grow up into evil cats. God bless you if you are a cat lover, but I just do not have that spiritual gift. I digress; when the cat grew up I was outside playing catch with my dog, but this particular time I was using a tennis ball and bat. I would throw it on the ground and then wait for it to bounce and then hit it with a bat. I was doing this for a solid 5 to 10 minutes when my sister’s

If you ever have mice, spiders, flies or bugs at home, you won’t have to worry if you have a personal hitmeow nearby. Cats are known to be master exterminators, and far exceed dogs in their superior hunting skills. Although dog owners may argue that dogs are known for their hunting skills, and not cats, I’d point out that while many of us have seen a dog corner a squirrel, or a hunting dog run and bring back the kill, they are not hunters. It’s the purry serial killers who watch their prey and go in for the kill just for

Dogs’ eagerness to please their masters is also a commendable trait which cats simply don’t have. Without this, it would be very difficult to train dogs for the many jobs they now hold, from aiding law enforcement personnel and herding sheep, to seeing-eye dogs and even helping exterminators locate hard-to-find infestations. Cats

Housefly – The common housefly is considered one of the most dangerous insect. They carry and transmit diseases. Think about where you find them when they aren’t annoying you. Flies can’t ingest solid food. In fact they regurgitate their food to liquefy it so they can eat it. I really know why I hate a fly now.

In the article, “DDT Ban: Is DDT Dangerous or Beneficial” written by Lillian Forman, looks at a chemical used to fight off insects that carried disease after World War II. The chemical compound that was used to kill the unwanted pest is called dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane or DDT. The chemical was used to fight insects that carried diseases to soldiers in camps, people in refugee camps, tourists in tropical areas, and people in bombed out cities. Because the chemical was used in Europe and Asia, and save millions of lives many believed it was a miracle chemical. Though some insects like lady bugs, bees, praying mantises are useful, humans have a good reason to fear other insects. Some of the feared insects include mosquitoes, ticks, body lice, cockroaches, and flies. Mosquitos carry malaria and contagious illnesses such as West Nile virus. Ticks carry Lyme disease and body lice infect their victims with typhus. Whereas cockroaches carry germs that can cause severe gastrointestinal problems. Flies carry even more dangerous pathogens, some of which cause deadly meningitis. Insects are harmful to more than just human health, locusts periodically destroy crops, termites eat away wooden structures, and moths ruin cloth.

Dogs may be fun, protective, and thoughtful, but did you know that you can contract diseases from them? “If we're not careful we can get more than love from our dogs. By this I mean diseases. Because dogs can transmit various conditions and diseases to humans, you should think twice before sharing an ice cream cone with your dog or kissing him.” (Dogasaur, p. 1).

In the United States alone, there are 78.2 million dogs in homes countrywide. Once someone makes the decision to get a dog, their first thought might be what they are going to feed it. Dog food ingredients impact dogs in many ways, and responsible pet owners want to keep their animals healthy. Doctor Lorie Huston from petMD says "Pet food ingredients can also affect your pet's behavior in various ways. Take the fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid, DHA has been shown to increase mental acuity in puppies and kittens" (Huston). So, the first step is to be aware of what their dogs eat and read the labels more closely. Animals are completely dependent on their owners for their nutritional needs, so dog owners feel morally conscience of that responsibility. Failure to pay attention to what dogs eat could result in major health problems or even death due to the toxins and chemicals they ingest. Dogs' lifestyle depends on the nutritious ingredients in their everyday food to maintain good health, a high activity level, and a happy mood.

People typically have misunderstandings about dogs because they treat them like humans, which is unnatural in the dog world. However, there is nothing wrong with loving your pet. The problem is that the owners will let bad behavior fester and eventually get out of control. There are even some owners who will take the dog’s side above their kid’s because
