In the Spotlight: Cancer Crusaders Each month, Arden salutes people and groups doing grr-eat work to benefits pets. This month's pick: the Morris Animal Foundation and Veterinary Pet Insurance, two groups leading the fight to combat cancer. November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month. Check out this inspiration-filled video that highlights the MAF's Canine Cancer Campaign by clicking HERE.
You can play a vital role by keeping tabs on your pet's health and booking regular veterinary visits. Here are 4 ways to help prevent cancer in your pet:
- Provide your pet with bottled or filtered water that is free of chemicals such as lead, nitrates or arsenic that can be in tap water.
- Don't smoke. Exposure to second-hand smoke can cause lung cancer, lymphoma and nasal sinus cancer in household pets.
- Keep your pet at a healthy weight and serve diets that do not contain artificial preservatives or flavors.
- Avoid using house or garden pesticides and switch to organic, non-toxic products to reduce the risk of your pet developing lymphoma.

'MEW'SINGS & MUTTISMS™
 It's surprising more dogs and cats don't suffer from an identity crisis. After all, they know the names of our friends and family, but do they really know our names? I asked my four pets, "Where's Arden?" and none showed any sign of recognition.Just who decided to declare that cats have nine lives? Why not 2 or 10?
You know you're a true dog lover when your pants pockets are not filled with money, but extra plastic poop bags.
