Irish Red Setter
Its graceful beauty has turned the Irish Red Setter, or Irish Setter for short, into a real trendsetter. However, this great popularity has not always done the elegant hunter any favours. Unfortunately, when welcoming an Irish Red Setter into their home, more than a few dog lovers have failed to consider that this four-legged friend requires not only experience with dogs but also a relatively high time commitment compared to other dog breeds.
Dangerous Foods for Cats
As early as the zoologist and animal behaviour researcher Paul Leyhausen pointed out that cats do not necessarily eat only what is actually good for them. This makes it all the more important for a cat’s human companion to be well informed about which of their own foods can be dangerous to cats. Some foods that are beneficial to human health are, in fact, highly toxic for cats.
Ferrets
Ferrets belong to the mustelid family. They are demanding pets that should not be kept alone. With species-appropriate housing, these creatures reveal themselves as intelligent, lively, and remarkably lovable companions.

Angelfish
With their arrow-like fins and shimmering scales, angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are the absolute stars of any aquarium. Originating from the Amazon region, this tropical fish is part of the cichlid family. If you have an aquarium with warmer water, these fish can be perfectly kept in your home.
Dutch Shepherd Dog
The Dutch Shepherd comes in three different coat varieties. Its talents are just as versatile, as it cuts a fine figure both as a diligent working dog and as part of a family. However, the lively temperament and high sensitivity of this breed require a delicate touch when it comes to training.
Neapolitan Mastiff
The Mastino Napoletano is also known by the name “Neapolitan Mastiff”. He impresses dog lovers across Europe with his imposing appearance combined with a calm presence. However, anyone wishing to live with such a four-legged companion should already have plenty of experience with dogs and, in addition, ample space to keep this demanding guard dog.
