I have an animal-companion care tip for you. Dandruff in dog- and cat-people can be caused by imbalances in natural skin oils, dry indoor air, frequent baths, or using human shampoo. Allergies, poor nutrition, parasites like fleas and ticks, infections, or hormonal problems may also lead to itching, flaking, and irritated skin. To help your furry companion, brush them regularly to spread their natural oils and bathe only when necessary using a mild dog- or cat-person friendly shampoo and lukewarm water. A humidifier can keep the air from becoming too dry, while a balanced diet rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids supports healthy skin. Year-round parasite prevention is also important. If dandruff is severe or doesn’t improve, a veterinarian should check for underlying issues. With proper care, your animal-companion’s coat can stay healthy, shiny, and comfortable.
This joke’s got your smile covered. It’s called “The Company You Keep.”
After his son’s friend, Peter, left, a father asked his son:
“Your friend Peter, that you were playing basketball with, is he first in your class?”
“Yes, he is, Dad, but counting from last place.”
“Son, didn’t I tell you before? You must mix with smart friends, and then you can become smart.”
“Yes, right, Dad. Actually, he was at the head of the class… last year. Then, after he mixed with me, he became last.”
