Glenn Close Glenn currently has two dogs, Bill and Jake, whom she takes to work with her everyday. They have even become the mascots of the Steiner Studios. She has a nice room for them to stay in while she is working, and she sometimes even brings them down to the set. If she does bring them to the set, she has to remember to “tape” their jingly collars so the sound won’t be picked up on the show. Glenn has been surrounded by animals her entire life, and doesn’t know what life without an animal is like. As a child, Glenn lived in rural Connecticut and had many Collies. She remembers her first Collie, who unfortunately met his fate on the rural roads where people travelled very fast. She was so small when it happened; she actually wore his collar as a belt.
Look for Glenn’s “Lively Licks” blog, which is a profile of dogs and their people, on the website FetchDog.com, where she will ask questions such as: When did you become a dog lover? Why Dogs? And, if your dog were a famous person, who would they be? Some of the first subjects are Ted Danson, his wife Mary Steenburg. Glenn states that if her dogs were famous people, Jake would be the Dalai Lama and Bill would be Barney Fife! Fetchdog.com website offers you the best-handpicked products for your dog, from healthy food and comfortable beds to unique toys and fashionable collars.
How Your Litter Choice Impacts Your Cat’s Health
The length of time you can go before dumping the litter and replacing it entirely varies. Ideally, it should be dumped weekly, which can be a little extreme. But, you should dump it at least every two weeks. If there is only one cat in the household, you might be able to stretch it out for a month, if you are scooping it daily and refreshing the litter. We have been using World's Best Cat Litter in the Animal Radio studios for years, and would like you to try it – for free! All you have to do is go to www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/animalradio. There, you will find a tab you can click that will let you print out a free bag rebate!
The Dogfather's Grooming Tip with Joey Villani
Tips To Building Your Dog’s Coat The person was having a hard time building their dog’s coat properly. What this means, is that the coat was not growing right. If it doesn’t look right, there is something wrong. There are five variables that you need to address when building a proper coat. The first one, which is not fixable, is genetics. If the dog’s family history is full of bad genes and poor coats, then there might not be a way to improve it. The next is the environment, which is fixable. This refers to the environment in your home. Do you have a lot of things in your home that the coat can get caught up on, like carpet and furniture? These items can break the coat off, which will leave it looking less than desirable. Of course you don’t want to have to re-furnish your whole home, but if you do get new items, make sure they are not something that your dog’s coat can get caught on. Next are chemicals. These are the chemicals that you use around your home, especially things you clean your floors with. If you use ammonia and bleach, these items are not real healthy for your dog. They are walking and laying on your floors, and can pick up these chemicals in their coat. This can happen even when the floor has dried. If you use chemicals in your lawn, this can happen as well.
The fifth thing, and probably the most important of all because this can fix almost every other problem, is nutrition. If your dog eats poorly, if you’re feeding cheap food that doesn’t have the right nutrition, remember what goes in your dog is what is going to reflect outside. Poor diet will not build good coat. People will tell Joey that their dog is looking great on the cheap food that they buy at the grocery store. But Joey’s response is that if they were on proper food, they would thrive even more! It’s just like with people. You eat junk food all of the time, you get sick, you get disease, you don’t look healthy. What you need to remember is that dogs are not carnivores; they are omnivores. This means that they need vegetation as well. So if you are making your own dog food at home, you want to break down the right vegetables for your dog. The most common vegetables people feed their dogs are sweet potatoes and broccoli. However, make sure you are feeding the right vegetable for your dog. Not all dogs can digest all vegetables. Do not feed these vegetables to them whole, as they have a short digestive tract and are not able to break down the food. Therefore, you need to break it down before feeding it to them. When selecting the right dog food, look at the labels. You don’t want food that has a lot of corn meal or fillers. You want healthy ingredients, and organic always works best. If you are thinking about feeding a raw diet, please talk to your veterinarian before doing so. These five variables are going to affect your dog’s coat, and if you adjust them, especially the nutrition, Joey can almost guarantee that you are going to see a difference in a very short time. Not only with their coat, but all around with the dog!

10 Best Cities To Be A Pet
|
Glenn Close has had a lengthy career as a versatile actress and performer. She is remembered for her chilling roles as the scheming aristocrat Madame de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons; terrorizing puppies as Cruella di Vil in 101 Dalmatians; and as the psychotic book editor Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction. In her new series, Damages, Glenn brings force and power as Patty Hewes, a fierce litigator who has a dog killed. But, Glenn is nothing like the characters she plays, and in fact is a big animal lover! Glenn doesn’t believe there was a time in her life growing up when she didn’t have animals
Glenn’s father was in medical school and would rescue dogs from the lab. So they not only had Collies, but a great assortment of dogs. While Glenn considers herself very much a dog person, she does have two cats.
When most pet owners think about what they can do to support their cat’s health, the first things that come to mind is nutrition (i.e. what they are feeding their cat) and routine veterinary check-ups. However, many people don’t think about the important role cat litter plays in guaranteeing a happy and healthy feline. Picking the right litter is key in maintaining the health of a cat.
Because cat’s paws are loaded with hypersensitive touch receptors they can be extremely picky about the texture of the litter they use. Some litters are made of pellet-like materials that can be too abrasive to a cat, while others are so light they can track and become embedded in a cat’s fur (particularly long-haired varieties). World’s Best Cat Litter is formulated with a balanced consistency that is soft on cat’s paws, and large enough to minimize tracking outside the box.
The fourth item is disease. If your dog is sick and unhealthy, it will reflect in their coat.
