KIRO 7 believes that pets are part of the family. From finding the healthiest food to understanding their cognitive abilities, we are committed to helping you give your furry friends the best 'leash' on life.

Have you ever looked at your pet and wondered, ‘what are you thinking?’ So have we! KIRO 7 talked to two canine experts to give you a peek inside their mind.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the number of dog owners who make their dog’s meals has increased 400 percent over 15 years. We asked the experts: Is it actually healthy or hurting your pet's nutrition?

Pets from the same litter develop their own personalities. What about allergies or conditions? KIRO 7 looked into whether where you live has an impact on your pet's health.
