National Hairball Awareness Day 2019
Happy National Hairball Awareness Day to all cats and cat owners!
26th of April 2019 is a day for all cat lovers to come together to learn more about the condition that dogs their feline companions, and hopefully prevent it.
Hairballs form naturally as part of a cat's grooming routine. Most of the fur removed during the normal grooming process is swallowed and passes through the digestive tract, but when it gets caught in the stomach it forms a hairball. Long-haired cats are most prone to developing hairballs, particularly during the heavy shedding seasons of spring and summer, but short-haired cats also find themselves affected by the development of hairballs.
The annual holiday was first created in 2006 by the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Maryland, USA, to advertise their 'collection' of hairballs from an assortment of livestock and humans, some of them dating back to the late 19th century.
Hairballs can be prevented, or at least the number reduced, by a few methods. The most common is regular grooming, which limits the amount of loose hair that could be swallowed and formed into a hairball, and many cat owners swear by the Furminator brand. Diet is the second most touted aid, and some food manufacturers make hairball-control food and treats with vegetable fibres to assist with digestion. Lastly, for cats suffering from a more persistent problem with hairballs, a hairball lubricant medication can be given to help them pass the hair more easily.
Good luck with your hairballs in 2019!

Happy Halloween 2018
Happy Halloween from Armadillo Pets! We'll be doing our usual charity collection on the 31st of October for National Black Cat Day. We'll be doing our work in costume (watch out for our ears and tails - they are adored by the dogs!), and giving all takings and any donations to our local Cats Protection, the Farnham and Wey Valley branch.
Summer Heat
Don't forget to keep your water bowls and bottles topped up while the weather is so hot! Rabbits and rodents will often drink more from a bowl as they find it easier, but do be careful with the small furries by using shallow dishes that they can't fall in and get wet.
And as everyone must know by now, dogs and hot cars don't mix! Never leave a dog unattended in a car in this heat, it can so easily be deadly!
