Serious budget cuts at Indianapolis Animal Care and Control

There will be a budget meeting held on September 14 at 5:30 PM downtown to discuss the city's budget. They are proposing almost $200,000 in cuts from IACC.

Even the most basic vet care might not be available due to budget constraints. Click here for more info and details on how you can help give a voice to Indy's homeless pets.

My dog licks the furniture constantly. What is this about?

Oh no! It’s very possible the poor guy has a tummyache. Maybe his prepared kibble is giving him some acid reflux? But, it could also be a hiatal hernia, which is a weakness of the diaphragm that allows a bubble from the stomach to come up into the chest cavity.

Humans with this have GERD – gastroesophageal reflux disease -- and are often given antacids, which have been linked to…

Indiana’s Weather For Wednesday

seven-day-indy-scaled
Take a deep breath. We are finished with the 80′s and 90′s for the rest of the week and at least half the weekend. Expect breezy, dry west to northwest winds today and a good dose of sunshine. The mix tomorrow will be mostly clouds, and we’ve got a decent shot at wonderfully wet, widespread [...]
