Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Although this week was less filled with work on shows, it still was a very busy week for us in the Pets Overload household. I got to spend a lot of time cuddling and sitting with the kitties but didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to of them. So here are some of my favourites, although I do wish I had taken more! Beau and Kalista … [Read more...] about Kalista Have You Found a New Bed? (Cat Photos)
Can Hamsters Eat Kale?
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, In the past, I've covered whether or not hamsters can eat bananas and I thought I'd get back to it, especially for our hamster followers who aren't sure about what they can feed their little ones. Today's question is: Can Hamsters Eat Kale? Short Answer Yes, some can, but in moderation. What breeds shouldn't eat Kale? Breeds that … [Read more...] about Can Hamsters Eat Kale?
Our Favourite Chinchilla Chew Toys
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, You may know that it was quite difficult for us to get our hamster to use the chew toys that we bought her, but I am pleased to tell you that we have had a much easier time finding toys that Gary likes. Off the bat, I'm going to say: try to avoid salt licks. Salt chews can actually be deadly to your Chinchilla and should only be given if … [Read more...] about Our Favourite Chinchilla Chew Toys
What Do You Need to Know About Betta Fish Bubble Nests?
I've done quite a bit of talking about Betta Fish and Bubble Nests, but I thought I'd write a more in-depth post about it since it seems to be one of the most common questions I get from Betta owners. Bubble nests can be extremely confusing for new betta owners, and I don't blame you if you thought your betta was sick or dying. My first thought was that the "waterfall" on my … [Read more...] about What Do You Need to Know About Betta Fish Bubble Nests?

REVIEW: CARU CLASSICS Chicken & Crab Stew
E]Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, We were approached to try out some new food from Caru (Chicken & Crab Stew), a brand we've actually tried treats from which we gave a 4.75/5! Usually, we're not fans of trying out new foods because Beau has urinary issues and has to be on a strict Science Diet... diet, but with the new picky addition to our family Kalista, we … [Read more...] about REVIEW: CARU CLASSICS Chicken & Crab Stew
Beau, do you want to get some naps in? (Cat Photos)
Hey Friends! Beau Here! This week has been a very busy week for the Pet Overlord which explains why there was no post yesterday. He's been busy rehearsing for his show that goes up this Saturday!

I … [Read more...] about Beau, do you want to get some naps in? (Cat Photos)
How Much Are Betta Fish? What Do All The Types Cost?
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, It can be hard to choose what pet you should adopt, especially if it comes down to finances. It's good to know what the adoption fees/costs are before adopting a pet, so I thought I'd cover a little bit about how much Betta's typically cost. A few weeks ago I covered what the most expensive Betta fish went for, so I won't be covering that, … [Read more...] about How Much Are Betta Fish? What Do All The Types Cost?
An Update to Beau’s Most Recent UTI
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, As promised, here's a little update on Beau's UTI. Unfortunately, we're not 100% sure where he's at... Midway through taking his antibiotics, he seemed completely fine. The bleeding stopped and he was peeing only a few times a day (which is normal due to the amount of water we mix inside of his food.) Yesterday at 4 in the morning I had … [Read more...] about An Update to Beau’s Most Recent UTI
How Long Can Cats be Left Alone?
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, If you didn't already know, we recently got a new little one who took some time to get used to our home. Luckily, I work from home, so it's fairly easy to keep an eye out for her, but it's a great question to ask yourself is... How long can cats be left alone? Not all of us are lucky enough to work from home and trust me the … [Read more...] about How Long Can Cats be Left Alone?
