Feeding your dog the remains of your dinner can seem like a harmless thing to do, but a new study warns peas could increase their risk of getting heart disease. Scientists in Massachusetts have found a link between canine consumption of peas and the development of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) – an often fatal condition that causes a dog's heart muscle to enlarge. As the heart dilates and becomes larger, it becomes harder to pump, which can lead to heart valve leaks or a build-up of fluids in the chest. Worrying, peas and other legumes including lentils and chickpeas have been ingredients in some'grain-free' dog foods for years – and could be responsible for hundreds of dog deaths. 'Grain-free' dog foods containing legumes instead of grain have already been investigated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Through AI platforms, computers can learn how to mimic human thought processes and cognitive functions, but with increased speed and learning capacity. Artificial intelligence has several subdisciplines, including machine learning, unsupervised learning, and deep learning. The versatility of AI makes it useful in a variety of medical disciplines. In human medicine, AI has already found applications in areas such as drug design, anesthesiology, cardiology, radiology, oncology, and infectious disease management. In general veterinary practice, protocols for vaccination, parasite prevention, and many aspects of wellness care are well-established.

There's nothing worse than waking up on a Sunday morning, already dealing with the Sunday scaries, and realizing that your home is a mess. But before you pull out the old vacuum cleaner, broom, and dust pan, maybe it's time to consider a tool that does the work for you, and no, I'm not talking about hiring a maid. Robot vacuums are a major trend when it comes to keeping your home clean and tidy. Simply unpack the robot vacuum, plug it in, and away it goes, sucking up dust and crumbs the house over. But let's be real, in 2020 robot technology has made some serious advances, and automated vacuums are better than ever.

When we got our beautiful puppy, Addy, I warned my boyfriend that golden retrievers shed--a lot. Despite my warnings, he didn't fully comprehend just how much hair one dog could produce. At first, he just kept saying it must be a seasonal shed, but after three months of daily Swiffering, he finally accepted that our apartment and clothing would simply be covered in dog hair forever. A few weeks later, it was Black Friday, and while I was browsing the daily deals on Amazon, I saw that the iRobot Roomba i7 was on sale for $700--that's $300 less than its list price. Even though I haven't been that impressed by robot vacuums in the past, I decided it would be a nice Christmas gift for our pet hair–infested household, and I made an impulse purchase. It's the end of January now, and both my boyfriend and I agree that Ruby, our darling Roomba, was an incredible purchase--seriously, the best $700 I've ever spent!
