We’ve rounded up a list of almost 200 common poisonous plants so you can be sure you’re picking the safest options. Most of these plants are safe to grow and keep in your home, but should be avoided if you’re concerned of accidental ingestion from a hungry pet or curious child.

No one wants to think about death, but if you have pets, planning for their future after you’re gone may be a wise decision. Too many animals end up at the mercy of animal shelters after their owners have passed. If your pet is also advancing in years, it becomes even more difficult for them to find a good home. Our article explores all the areas of planning for your pet’s future to help you make an informed decision. Favorite

The Simple Dollar, a website devoted to helping people make better informed decisions when it comes to all aspects of their personal finances, including pet care. When it comes to companionship, nothing compares to the loyalty and love of a dog or a cat. Since our furry friends are more like furry family members, keeping them healthy and protected is of the utmost importance. And while no one plans on their pet getting sick or injured, it can happen all the same. That’s why our team set out to find the most comprehensive and affordable pet insurance options out there. We created a guide that provides an overview of the process, which factors to consider when purchasing a policy, and types of coverage options so that pet owners don’t have to start from scratch. Pet insurance can be particularly confusing due to a lack of regulation and uniform coverage standards, so we think this resource would be helpful to those pet parents looking to invest in that extra layer of protection.

The ConsumerAffairs pet resource guide includes reviews of Dog Treats, Dog Food, Pet Breeders, Pet Insurance Providers, Pet Care Companies, Pet Stores, Cat Foods and more. Finding competent, affordable care for your animal friends can be difficult, as some of the stories on the Consumer Affairs website illustrate. So can finding the right food and supplies to help your pet live a healthy, comfortable life. And as for finding the right pet, it’s a good idea to look beyond the nearest pet store or Internet site. If you do run into trouble, the website has a summary of Puppy Lemon Laws. Those laws won’t do you any good, though, if you ordered a puppy from an online puppy mill. The best place to get a pet is from your local animal shelter or rescue group. Favorite

As you know, most stores currently carry brands of dog food that have been linked to recalls, class action lawsuits, and serious health consequences. Despite their best intentions, pet owners often don’t know what’s really in their dog’s food — and with buzzwords like ‘premium’ and ‘all-natural,’ it’s easy to get misled. That’s why we at Reviews.com dedicated over 1,400 hours of research analyzing 2,223 formulas on the market to find the brands that deliver the most optimal nutrition for our furry friends. We consulted veterinarians, animal behaviorists, and trainers, as well as scoured scientific studies on pet nutrition. We know that pet owners come face to face with thousands of choices when it comes to selecting food and we spoke directly with 300 of them to find out what mattered most. Ultimately, we created a guide that clearly points out red flag ingredients and recommends trustworthy brands at any price point.   Favorite

There’s a lot about dogs that TV can tell us and there’s a lot that TV can get wrong. However, thanks to shows like Dogs 101 and channels like DOGTV, we are starting to learn and understand just how intelligent and unique each and every canine truly is. The more we understand about breeds and possible behavioral traits, the better we can understand the dogs we choose to bring into our homes. Make sure you take the time to really get to know a dog before you consider adopting. Remember that television isn’t always right when it comes to dogs; keep in mind that seeing one bad dog in the press doesn’t mean the entire breed is a threat. Develop an understanding of the breed and also make sure you’re ready to give your future dog the time and attention he or she needs to grow into a friendly and loyal companion. Favorite
