Good Dog Health And Happiness For Charlie
April 18, 2008
Our Charlie’s dog health was a very important issue to us in our family. It all started when he was a puppy of course. Aside from the fun and laughter he brought into our lives he brought us new found responsibilities we hadn’t concerned ourselves with BC. With some common sense and attention dog health shouldn’t have to be a major family issue. Here’s how we dealt with Charlie.
A few dog health issues:

Frustrated Over High Veterinarian Bills?
April 7, 2008
Over the past 30 years we have learned so much about taking good care of our pets, right? We feed them “premium” high dollar pets foods, give them tasty packaged treats, vaccinate them yearly, bathe them with expensive shampoos, give them heartworm preventative, use flea collars or flea and tick preventative, brush their teeth, and get yearly checkups with our vets.
Then why are our pets not healthier? Why, instead, are they getting more and more humanlike diseases such as allergies, diabetes, thyroid problems, cancer, and on and on? Why are their coats not so shiny anymore, and they seem to scratch and itch all the time? Why are they so lazy and sleep all the time? Why do they still smell bad, have waxy ears, and bad plaque on their teeth?
Get Educated Before Buying Your Pomeranian From A Dog Breeder
March 18, 2008
Buying a purebred dog is not something that should be taken lightly and not all breeders are equal. To make sure that you get a good quality dog that will be healthy and happy, you need to do some research and shop around.
The Pomeranian breed standard is to weight no more than seven pounds, but there are many Poms out there that weight 12 or even 20 pounds! While these may be great dogs and make good pets, they are not to the standard and you should not be paying the full price for a dog that will grow to this size. But how do you know how big a puppy will be?
Buy Dog Travel Supplies Online
March 16, 2008
The shopping part along for dog travel supplies is amusing for sure. The trinkets, toys and accessories for pet product travel are a blast. Grab your favorite drink, your mouse and grease up that shopping finger and off we go to review those dog travel supplies.
We found, while shopping for Charlie pet harnesses that combine safety with convenience. The step-in padded harness is easy to fasten to your best pet friend and can also be used as a walking harness. The strap plugs into the car’s seat belt buckle receptacle. It’s recommend that for all pet travel you harness your doggie while driving for the protection of passengers and your little best pet friend.
Animal Behaviour - What Is My Dog Saying
March 6, 2008
Dogs are quite amiable creatures. Much like our human counterparts, their speech is often amplified by their body movements and facial expressions. If you haven’t done so yet, carefully study your dog’s eyes. Watch his eyebrow motions. Often times, we don’t hear them speaking because we’re too busy not paying attention to their eye motions. When your dog is facing you and his eyes shift suddenly back and forth, he’s telling you that he wants something. Whether it’s, “…hey, Mom - let’s play,”, “…come follow me, I want to show you something,” or “…I need to go pee;” well - that’s up to the individual animal himself.
The Background And The Use Of Clicker Training For Dogs
February 27, 2008
Presently, and throughout the 1990s a phenomena swept through the dog-lover’s community. It was called “Clicker Training,” and was implemented to teach dogs (along with horses and cats) that certain behaviors would be awarded, while others were not. Ms. Karen Pryor, a former dolphin trainer and author, along with a team of “Operant Trainers” started giving presentations at dog shows. They displayed how the small plastic device (about half the size of a bottle-opener) could be used to train dogs to do a number of “tricks,” in just a few days; tricks that would’ve taken months or even years to learn before.
Is Dog Obedience School For You?
February 21, 2008
Are you thinking about dog obedience school? Do you know what to expect out of it? Do you know what it costs or where to find a good school?
If not, let me help take out some of the mystery of finding one to make sure you and your dog get the best experience you can.
If you have searched the web in this topic, you probably found some sites that are basically search engines within search engines, no real information about dog obedience schools. Or you might have found some obedience schools that were on the other side of the country. Needless to say, neither one was of much use.
Buying Dog Supplements Online
February 4, 2008
A good nutritional program of dog supplements is just as important for your best pet friend as it is for us. Our pets have feelings, emotions, aches and pains just as we do. It’s pretty tough to look your buddy straight in the eyes and not feel love and compassion that drives itself right to our hearts. Foods lacking of vitamins and minerals do little more than temporarily fill the tummy. Dog supplements are ever so important for optimum health and happiness of our doggie.
