Addressing Common Health and Behavioral Challenges in Pet Pigs

Pet pigs, with their charming personalities and unique characteristics, have become increasingly popular companions. However, like any other pet, they come with their set of health and behavioral challenges. In this article, we will explore some common issues faced by pet pig owners and offer effective solutions for their care and management.

Obesity in Pet Pigs:

One prevalent issue in pet pigs is obesity, often attributed to improper diet and lack of exercise.

A Winter Survival Guide For Pets

While some pets enjoy living in a winter wonderland, other pets can suffer the same winter woes as people. From dry skin to finding ways to keep warm to packing on a little “winter weight,” some pets can use help to make sure they stay healthy and safe during winter.

Sep 27, 2022

It’s so crucial to me to give each individual susceptible animal the opportunity at everyday living they deserve. That is why APA!’s No Eliminate mission is at the coronary heart of every little thing I do, even at dwelling.

Echo’s brother sadly handed away shortly immediately after arriving at APA!, but
Echo has been by my aspect ever considering that. If Echo had stayed considerably more time in
an additional town without having the assets to give her the spherical-the-clock treatment
and mobility support she required, she may well not have developed up into the
talkative companion she is right now. Useless euthanasia is still an unlucky actuality for pets like Echo in towns that have not adopted No Kill
