Heated Dog Beds Keep Your Best Friend Warm and Cozy

Apr 16, 2012 Author admin

Some dog owners loves to have their dogs curl up in bed with them, but for a variety of reasons, many people would prefer that a dog sleep in its own bed. Perhaps you have allergies and don’t want pet dander in your bedding. Maybe your dog snores or otherwise disturbs your sleep. Or maybe your bed is getting crowded with too many pets! Heated dog beds are a good way to keep your best friend warm at night so that he won’t feel the need to curl up next to you. After all, what dog wouldn’t want to cuddle beside a warm human rather than in a drafty dog bed? This is a particularly good option if you own a short-haired dog that tends to get chilly. If you have one or more dogs that often wear a fleece vest or sweater to stay warm in cold weather, then heated dog beds are probably a good idea for your household.

Five Great Things About Cats

Jun 3, 2011 Author admin

I confess that I grew up a dog person. I liked cats when I met them, but we always had a dog, and I couldn’t imagine caring for a cat the way I cared for our dogs. However, as an adult, my living situation and lifestyle have been more conducive to cats, and I’ve come to really appreciate what cats have to offer. In fact, there are five great things about cats that I can think of. First, you don’t have to take a cat outside and walk it in freezing cold weather, rain, snow, etc. Second, cats have a calming influence. Nothing like a cat sitting on your lap purring away to lower your blood pressure! Third, cats are less expensive. They eat less than dogs, and in most instances, are less prone to medical conditions and emergencies. Four, an indoor cat can live a long, long time. I had a cat live to be 18, and I’ve known cats that lived into their 20s. Five, cats are independent creatures. As much as I love the love of a dog, I respect that cats have a different relationship to humans. I find the connection with my cats fascinating!

Guide to Dog Food

Dogs are carnivores; therefore it makes sense to feed them raw meat. So take the plunge feed your dog with raw chicken hearts, beef gullets, chicken quarters, gizzards, pork necks, raw liver and green tripe. You could also consider raw eggs along with the shell for this will provide calcium. Your dog needs to enjoy its mealtime and not cringe food. Put your pet on raw dog food and see its coat grow brighter and shinier.

You could also try introducing pulped vegetables like zucchini, celery, carrots, romaine, kale etc. To their diet. Incase your pet does no show liking towards vegetables stick to raw meat.

How much raw dog food you feed your dog depends on its weight. The thumb rule is feeding 2 to 4 percent of the dog’s weight – if you want your dog to gain weight start by feeding 4 percent of its body weight, if the weight gain is too much cut to 2 percent of its total weight.

The Mastiff Breed is the Best Dog Breed There is

Mar 18, 2011 Author admin

My family had recently been begging me to get a dog. We argued back and forth over all kinds of different things in dealing with getting a dog. Our girl wanted a cute dog, our boy wanted a playful dog and my wife wanted a guard dog. I was starting to get frustrated and I was ready to just give up on ever finding a dog everyone liked. It seemed everytime I read books on dog breeds, each author had different suggestions. I finally decided to look on the internet and see what popped up when I searched. I was so thankful to find a site that had just the type of breed my family would love, the Mastiff breeds. It was the perfect companion for all of us. I found out they were gentle, but could also become guard dogs if trained correctly. My whole family was so excited the more I told them about Mastiffs and when we finally went and got one everyone, including myself, fell in love with it. I’m so glad I didn’t just give up and found the dog breed we all love.

How to Spot Dog Allergies Symptoms

Mar 5, 2011 Author admin

I remember the first time I realized that my dog had allergies. She had been to the vet a number of times for ear infections, but my vet never told us the real cause. If only we had known, we could have got her some help sooner.

Common dog allergies symptoms include frequent scratching, near constant licking, rubbing their face on the carpet, runny and itchy eyes, and in our case, itchy ears.

These are just a few of the things that may indicate that your dog has dog allergies. As I mentioned before, our dog was treated for recurring ear infections several times. The pain of the ear infection caused her to shake her head violently. This headshaking caused an ear hematoma.

An ear hematoma forms when a pocket of blood forms between the layers of skin that makes up the ear. The skin will separate from either side of the ear and a bubble will appear. Once a bubble appears, you must get your dog to a vet as soon as possible to have the pressure relieved. They can drain the hematoma and the problem should go away.

Unfortunately, since we didn’t know our dog had a dog allergy, she got ear infections several times. This led to multiple hematomas in both ears. It turns out that once the dog is having hematoma, it may be a good idea to have your vet perform surgery on your dog to stitch the flaps of the year back together. This will keep hematomas from forming in the future.

If you believe that your dog has dog ear infection, please take them to a vet as soon as possible. Ear infections for dogs can be very painful. While you’re talking to your vet, make sure you ask for the underlying cause of ear infection. Your vet may be able to recommend different methods for determining dog allergy symptoms.

Red Flag the Smell of Carpet

Jan 2, 2011 Author admin

As we all know, carpets have been known to beautify any type of home, and in most hotels and classy establishments, carpeted tiles are one of the most common things that you will see, especially in its hallways and corridors. However, carpets can also prove to be quite the health hazard, even with regular maintenance and vacuuming by the use of vacuums that are considered the best vacuum for pet hair, and worn-out carpet doesn’t really look good, which is why it will need to be replaced at some point.

One of the most common things that you should look out for if the carpet needs to be replaced is its smell. Naturally, carpet, carpeted floors or tiles, should smell good after it is washed and cleaned. However, because of the wear and tear, the smell of mold and mildew lingers in the carpet, even after it has been washed thoroughly.
