Domestic cats (Felis catus) that roam outdoors have increased exposure to hazards to their health and welfare. Outdoor cats can themselves present a hazard to biodiversity conservation and wild animal welfare. Approaches to reducing predation of wildlife by cats might also bring benefits to cats by...
A home-like environment is important to residents [12], and the presence of animals or pets may contribute to a feeling of less institutionalised living [13]. Companion animals and pet/animal-assisted therapy may provide people with access to different forms of social contact, as well as pro...

DNA absorbs UVB radiation and the absorbed energy can break bonds in the DNA. Most of the DNA breakages are repaired by proteins present in the cell nucleus, but unrepaired genetic damage of the DNA can lead to skin cancers. Health effects: In humans and animals, prolonged exposure to solar...
Emotional responses (e.g., lip/nose licking) are frequently measured using standardized behavior assessments and tests (e.g., shelter environment or outdoor training facilities; Firnkes et al., 2017; Barnard et al., 2019). However, in applied research, such behaviors are often only considered...
However, the majority of the early research studied EMF at intensities much higher than those of man-made EMF in the environment. We raise a fundamental question in this paper: Is low-intensity anthropogenic EMF in the environment capable of affecting physiological functions in living organisms?
and exposed to the same food and environmental variables; therefore the differences between the groups is most likely due to treatment effect, while the environmental variables observed were not expected, making environment a significant factor in host microbiome interactions that warrants future investigat...
My last cat lived to be almost 20 and was an outdoor/ indoor one. I think it is great your dogs get to be outdoors; I think that will always be best for their health than ones who only go for an occasional walk. Linda Crampton (author) from British Columbia, Canada on January 13...
