There is nothing like going for a long walk with your furry friend in the sunshine. But as the weather starts getting warmer, the concrete and the pavement also start heating up. It can get so hot that your dog could be seriously injured. Here's how you can keep your dog safe and what to do if their paws get burned.

It is Bat Week in New York State (through October 31st) and the Department of Environmental Conservation wants to remind you that bats are a very important part of our environment. Instead of being afraid, let's help protect them.

As pet owners, we do whatever it takes to keep our pets safe. We ensure they have all of their shots and are protected from fleas and ticks. But there is a predator out in full force this time of year. How do you protect your pets from coyotes?

We are all trying to practice social distancing and also get out and get fresh air. The New York State Department of Health (NYDOH) is warning that ticks are out and to find ways to protect yourself.

This is the time of year when coyotes start to look for places to settle down when their pups that will be born in the spring. There have been sightings downstate and now, they have been seen in my own backyard.
