Great New Styles of Bandana Yardbirds!
Unique sculptures for your home and garden!

With tons of new styles available in all categories, you are sure to find a style to fit your home perfectly. Each and every Original Bandana Yardbird Creation is handmade in Kentucky . That means each sculpture varies slightly from the other in its handcrafted appearance and attitude. All of the Bandana Yardbird sculptures are bare metal and naturally rust with age -- that's part of their lasting beauty. When using the Yardbird Sculptures indoors however, it is recommended treating them with a clear acrylic enamel spray such as Krylonr or Rustoleum to prevent rust.

Each custom creation is made from recycled materials; scrap and rejected garden tools, farm machinery, bicycle and auto parts. Buying a Yardbird reduces solid waste destined for a landfill. If everyone bought two or three, we could save the earth! So far over 2 million pounds of scrap has been recycled into these lovable critters.

On the Catwalk: Putting Kitty on a Leash
Written by: Erin Harty, Associate Editor @ Vetcentric.com

Taking the dog for a walk isn't just to satisfy a biological necessity. It's also exercise and a social activity for both man and beast. But why should dogs get to have all the fun?

Over the years, it's become less acceptable for people to allow their cats outside to roam. Neighborhoods have become busier and more crowded: if speeding cars don't strike fear into your heart, the angry phone call from the little old lady next door just might. In some cities, it's even illegal to allow your cat loose in the neighborhood. Such has begun the curious concept of cat-walking.

But don't expect to slap a collar and leash on your kitty and march straight out the door. As most cat owners know, their felines would faint at being lumped in with their tail-wagging brethren. While dogs aim to please, and are often more than happy to be attached to their humans, cats are independent and like to do things their own way.

When a Good Pet Has Bad Breath!
Written by: Elizabeth L. DeLomba, DVM @ Vetcentric.com


Do you cringe at the idea of getting a big, sloppy kiss from your pet? If so, chances are that the animal is suffering from halitosis, or bad breath, a very common problem in both dogs and cats. In any case of bad breath, a complete oral and physical examination of the pet is a good idea.

There are many reasons why an animal's breath may have an unpleasant odor. Sometimes, the cause can be serious; halitosis is a clinical sign of several severe illnesses, including "feline AIDS," or the feline immunodeficiency virus. More often, though, bad breath results from poor dental hygiene. Many owners do not realize that like humans, cats and dogs can get gingivitis. In fact, gingivitis, or periodontal disease, most commonly causes bad breath in our pet population.

In young teething animals in particular, bad breath tends to be caused by normal transient gingivitis that occurs with dental eruption. Gingivitis is a reversible condition resulting from inflammatory processes of the oral tissues. With this dental disease, plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth and the gums may bleed easily. Owners may notice this when they see blood on their dog's chew toys. Because dental disease can result in serious kidney, liver and heart complications later in life, it is important to treat it early on.

Keep Your Kitty Safe and Sound on July 4th!
Protect your furry friends the July 4th holiday with a few basic precautions.

Is your neighborhood near a fireworks display? Or, will you be hosting a Fourth of July party at your home this year? While July 4th is typically a fun-filled day of barbeques and fireworks, it can potentially be a day of terrible mishaps and even firework related abuse for family pets.

Pets can easily become overwhelmed by the noise and commotion of Independence Day celebrations due to the crowds and thunderous sound of fireworks. If alarmed, your pet may become disoriented and try to escape from your yard or home, resulting in a lost or injured pet, and heartache for you.
