Here are some things to do to make sure your pets are happy during the 4th of July weekend.

• Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.

Does anyone know what their Towing and Roadside Assistance covers? 

Towing and Roadside Assistance is usually packaged together in the same coverage with most insurance companies.  Here are the general definitions.

Towing: covers expenses for having your car towed to another location as a result of Mechanical Breakdown or an Accident

Flea season is here!  One day our pets are happy and then the next day they are miserably itching up a storm.

We all know how difficult it is to get rid of fleas and we’ll do whatever it takes to make them go away.  But, how terrible do you feel putting Advantage or Frontline on your dogs and cats?

Is it just me, or are Pit Bulls in the news now more than ever before? Pit Bull shows are popping up right and left over the past few months and we couldn’t be happier (Pit Bulls and Paroles, Pit Boss, and the Michael Vick Project). Cesar Milan often showcases his Pit Bulls (they are his personal pets) on his show “The Dog Whisperer.” Other shows (It’s the Dog or Me, Dog Town, Dogs 101, etc.) often feature Pit Bulls in their episodes.

You are walking your dog on the sidewalk, something startles your 4 legged pal and WHAM…out of nowhere, his jaws are gripping a random pedestrian’s calf. You feel terrible, guilty and scared because you don’t know what’s going to happen to you or your dog. Not many people really believe their precious best friend will bite anyone. It’s one of those things you deny will every happen; sticking your head in the sand with this possibility can be an absolute nightmare (physically hurting someone or another animal, incurring medical and legal expenses).

Winter is finally here. As I lay in bed (all toasty in my electric blanket), there isn’t a night that goes by where I don’t think about all the dogs that sleep outside in the cold. I know those non-Californians will roll their eyes when they read this, but hey, to us in CA, IT’S COLD!

Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases in a lifetime. After making this HUGE decision to pull the trigger on a home, you can take pride in the security, comfort and equity it provides you and your family.

Unfortunately, most people don’t consider how to protect this asset in the event you or your spouse/partner dies. Today, it is very common for both adults in a household to pay for a mortgage; imagine the difficulty to maintain payments with only one income.
