The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) offers some great advice for keeping your dog or cat safe from winter hazards, and I’ve added a few suggestions of my own to the list.
Dr. Karen Becker is a proactive and integrative wellness veterinarian. You can visit her site at: Mercola Healthy Pets.
Her goal is to help you create wellness in order to prevent illness in the lives of your pets. This proactive approach seeks to save you and your pet from unnecessary stress and suffering by identifying and removing health obstacles even before disease occurs. Unfortunately, most veterinarians in the U.S. are trained to be reactive. They wait for symptoms to occur, and often treat those symptoms without addressing the root cause.
By reading Dr. Becker’s information, you’ll learn how to make impactful, consistent lifestyle choices to improve your pet’s quality of life.

Tips for Buying on a Waterfront
Buying a new home property can always be a challenging and complicated process. If you are looking to move to a property by the water, the process can become even more complex than it already is. Fortunately, there are a number of helpful tips that can help you find the perfect waterfront home for your lifestyle.
Find an Expert on Waterfronts
Chances are, the average real estate agent will not have a deep knowledge of waterfront properties in your area. To ensure getting the right property for you, make sure you have a real estate agent who is not only familiar with waterfront properties, but who is familiar with the waterfronts in your area.
Property Over Structures
When considering a home on the waterfront remember that the having the best property can be far more important than having the best home. For instance, a home might be perfect, but if the property around it is less than desirable, not private, if the water is difficult to access or rundown, perhaps it is not the best option. Houses can easily be fixed up whereas poor properties are not so easy.
Find a Property That Fits You
Despite the perfection of a property ,it is important to ensure that a property fits the needs of your lifestyle. Focus on finding a property that is close to activities you enjoy and are passionate about. Additionally, understanding the community and culture is important. Finding a location that fits your lifestyle needs will ultimately leave you happy in your new waterfront home.
Understanding Insurance
Insurance for waterfront homes can be quite expensive and understanding what you are getting into financially will really help you make wise decisions regarding a home. Some of the different types of insurances for waterfront homes might include: wind, flood, and hazard policies.
Know the Responsibilities
Oftentimes, waterfront communities come with various responsibilities such as being a part of a homeowners association. Knowing the responsibilities and financial obligations that come with living in a waterfront community can prove beneficial to your future in a new home. Finding out what kind of upkeep, maintenance, conditions, and restrictions will help you know if a property is right for you. Likewise, talking to the HOA’s management team will help you feel comfortable with taking a step into a new home.
