Animals need more than just TLC to thrive. Here are some tips to help keep your pet healthy and happy for years to come:

Your rottweiler or pit bull won’t turn on you and kill you someday if you train it properly. Honest. Put it out of your mind.

Most kittens can withstand impacts of up to 35 mph, but there’s no way to be sure without extensive testing.
Getting your kids a boa constrictor or monkey is a great way to teach them that the animal kingdom is not something that exists for their amusement, goddammit.
