5 Most Common Health Issues in Dogs – September 24th, 2015

Your dog is an important part of your family that has health issues on occasion. There are a variety of common health issues such as ear infections, obesity, heartworms, kennel cough and dental disease that arise in dogs on a frequent basis. As a dog owner you will want to learn more about these issues and know what to look for so that you can either prevent or treat the issue immediately.

Ear Infections – If you notice your dog shaking his or her head from side to side on a frequent basis, scratching, whining, odor coming from the ears or redness and brown discharge in the inner ear area, an ear infection is most likely the source of these symptoms. You will want to contact the veterinarian to make an appointment. Allow the veterinarian to clean and treat your dog’s ears. Most-likely the veterinarian will give you follow-up instructions on how to care for your dog.
Obesity – Your dog being overweight is a serious issue. It can cause a variety of health issues and even shorten his or her lifespan. If your dog is overweight for his breed you will want to provide a healthy diet and limit the amount of treats that are provided on a daily basis. If your dog is already eating healthy and he or she is still gaining weight. Speak to your veterinarian regarding their diet and inquire about any health issues that may be causing the weight gain.
Heartworms – Heartworms are a serious disease that can lead to death. Parasites infect your dog’s arteries and heart causing large worms to develop and negatively affect your dog’s health. You can easily prevent heart worms in your dog by providing preventative medications provided by a licensed veterinarian.
Kennel Cough – Kennel cough is known as a form of bronchitis and cause your dog’s windpipe and voice to become inflamed. If you notice your dog coughing frequently and it does not lessen throughout the day, he or she may have Kennel cough. Usually treatment of antibiotics is required to recover from this health issue.
Dental Disease – Gum disease can happen to dogs just like humans. Neglected gums and teeth can become inflamed and infected with bacteria causing your dog’s gums to be red. Rotting and loose teeth are also common dental ailments that affect dogs.

Keeping a close eye on your dog’s health is recommended and essential to the overall well being of your dog. Any unusual behavior or physical signs should be reported to the veterinarian immediately. At times symptoms can mask a more serious issue or some signs can prove to be an important alert of internal health issues. If your dog has health issues that go untreated and overlooked, the severity of the problem can develop into serious condition that is difficult to treat. As a dog owner you will want to provide proper health care throughout your dog’s lifetime by becoming familiar with your dog’s habits and physical looks. This makes it easier to notice that something is different at first glance.

Preventing Lyme Disease in Dogs – August 25th, 2015

Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease that is infectious and caused by the bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. The deer tick is the most common type of tick that carries Lyme disease. This small tick attaches itself to your dog and soon becomes engorged. It is a small sized tick that resembles a grain of pepper and is easily overlooked, especially when covered by your dog’s fur.

Symptoms Your Dog has Lyme Disease

There are a variety of symptoms your dog may exhibit which include lethargy, swollen lymph nodes, swelling of the joints, loss of appetite and a fever. Your dog may also have lameness in his legs which causes him or her to shift from leg to leg in order to stand. At the first sign of these symptoms you should contact the veterinarian to make an appointment immediately.

Preventative Measures

Ticks are tiny creatures that can reap havoc on your dog’s health if they carry Lyme disease. As a dog owner you will want to take measures to prevent these infectious ticks from coming in contact with your dog. While know measure is guaranteed, it is still worth providing. The following are measures you can take to help prevent your dog from contracting Lyme disease from deer ticks.

Frequent Grooming – Brush and comb through your dog’s coat frequently. Use a fine tooth comb to brush in the opposite direction of the growth of the hair. This exposes your dog’s skin and you can search for tiny black or brown specs located close to his or her skin. If you do find a tick during this process you will want to remove it carefully and keep it in a plastic zip lock bag to bring to the veterinarian for further investigation and testing.
Limit Exposure – Deer ticks are usually found in wooded areas that have tall grass. If you live near or visit this type of area frequently you will want to avoid it in the future.
Tick and Flea Preventatives – The veterinarian will happily provide you with a list of flea and tick preventatives that are safe for your dog. These preventatives have the capability of killing a tick before the 48-hour mark that is required to infect your dog.
Vaccinations – Science and research have recently developed vaccinations for Lyme disease in dogs. You will want to inquire with the veterinarian about this option and if it is available and safe for your dog.

Lyme disease is usually treated and controlled by antibiotics. This treatment is lengthy in order to completely heal your dog. On occasion a few different types of antibiotics are used to effectively fight the disease. Unfortunately your dog can become infected again and have reoccurring sessions with Lyme disease if repeatedly bitten by infected deer ticks. Prevention is important for every dog owner to consider. The preventative measures mentioned above will help lessen the risk of your dog getting Lyme disease as well as protect your dog when they are bitten by an infected deer tick.

Finding the Perfect Name for Your Dog – June 22nd, 2015

You are a proud pet parent and dog owner. You are most-likely in the stages of preparing to bring your new furry family member home. Or, he or she may have just arrived. Dog owners have the exciting and fun task of naming their dog. At times this task can seem overwhelming or family members may not agree on the same name causing stress during the naming process. The importance of focusing on naming your dog as quickly as possible is essential to your dog’s well-being. This may sound a bit over the top, but it is necessary since it will come in handy during training sessions, which should take place immediately upon arriving home.

Family Decisions

If you don’t already have a name for your dog in mind, there are quick and easy ways to find the perfect name for your dog. Begin your hunt for the perfect name by having your family members write down their top three favorite dog names on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl. Read all of the names out loud to your family and see which names get a majority of the vote. Narrow down the names by popularity amongst your family members vote. Then have a final vote and the one that wins becomes the dog’s name. This is a proactive way of involving the entire family in the decision as well as keeping peace when choosing a name.

Choose Based on Personality

Every dog has his or her own personality, even if they come from the same litter. Allow your dog’s personality to be expressed through his or her name. If your dog loves to bark, name him or her yappy. Or, choose other endearing names such as sweetie, sleepy, bashful or other descriptive names based on their personality.

Meanings of Names

Many dog owners like to name their dogs by considering the meaning of the name. For example the Native American name “Nita” means Bear. If your dog resembles a furry bear, than this name is a great option. Consider meanings of names from a variety of different languages. If you have always loved a specific country like Spain, France, Italy, Japan and Russia, consider using words from those specific languages that have a meaning that will be suitable for your dog. You can choose names that are descriptive of your dog’s personality, looks or place where you found them or where they were bred.

If you are not able to easily find a name that suits your dog, try searching popular dog names lists and carefully find a name that is suitable for your dog. If you still can’t seem to come up with a name, ask your family and friends to help you. Let them know you can’t decide and give them a list of your favorite names and see which ones they find that is best suited for your dog. Once you have a variety of opinions from family and friends, it will help you make your final decision and give your dog his or her name.

The nylon leashes are soft but very durable and come in different lengths starting at 4 feet and with longer ones when your puppy is ready for obedience training.

Choosing a collar is very important making sure it is soft and thin enough for your puppy’s neck, with sturdy hardware to connect the leash and tags to. There are many choices such as nylon, leather and for obedience training the chain collar is very popular. Also for your puppy’s comfort is the harness which is made from nylon, mesh and suede and are available in thin or wide straps.

Food and water bowls come in many choices. Glass bowls and ceramic bowls are very heavy and your puppy will not be able to play with them, but are easily broken.

Crocks and plastic bowls should be hard plastic so residue and bacteria will not be able to grow if the plastic gets dented, and dishwasher safe. The safest choice would be stainless steel they are the easiest to sanitize and clean.

Your puppy will need a soft comfortable bed to call his own. Beds come in a variety of colors and styles, with matching colors to accent your home. The beds have memory foam, fleece, gel to make your puppy feel comfortable and secure. Repurposed cotton that is recycled which is safe for the environment. The designs include cave style, round bolster style, huts that have large openings and are tall, igloo style, cots, puff ball that resembles a bean bag and a couch design.

Puppy’s need the right ingredients in their daily food for their first year to develop healthy skin, coat, bones and organs so they can grow up to be very healthy adults. The manufacturers of puppy food take serious steps to insure that the required nutrients of vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat are blended correctly by the guidelines of the veterinary nutritionists. Speaking with your veterinarian will help you choose the healthiest food for your puppy.

Toys for your puppy are a very important part of their life. There are many toys that will give your puppy a variety of activities to round out his day, such as chew toys for gnawing on, stuffed animals that they can cuddle with and give them comfort when they sleep. Flying discs and balls to fetch as your puppy enjoys active playing with you. Tug toys and rope which has a dual benefit of flossing their teeth. Devices that release treats developing their thinking skills. Puppy’s also love to play with squeaky toys because of the noise they make as they chew on it.

Preparing your home to welcome your new puppy is a wonderful experience. When your puppy enters his forever home with you and your family the special choices you made to make your puppy feel welcome, happy and loved will be shown to you with kisses.

How to Socialize Your Dog – January 12th, 2015

Teaching your dog to adapt to human society should begin when they are puppies, at the age of less than a month up to three months old.

They are interested and eager to be introduced to noises, smells, sights people of all types, buildings other dogs and animals. Depending on your lifestyle and where you live you have to introduce your dog to garbage trucks, trains, cats, crying babies, children screaming at school, crowds, and livestock if you live on a farm. Introducing them to being handled by your veterinarian and when you groom him is also very important when he is young. This age is specific for them to adjust to society and not be startled and jump every time they hear a bird chirp or a leaf falls to the ground next to them. It is harder to socialize your dog after four months old because they become fearful and unacceptable of things around them. Pet dogs need to develop into enjoyable, happy and safer pets when you socialize them early and they will live peaceful and relaxed lives.

Socializing your dog is a big job. While training your dog be sure that he is not being overpowered by what is happening around him as he is shown a new experience and he feels at ease and not frightened. You could take your dog to a park where there are children playing and other people are walking their dogs and let him interact with them. If your dog is frightened by all this activity, distance him from the crowd. Hold and pet him so he feels secure then give him a treat. If he is too frightened by all the noise, take him to another park that has very few people and let him enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Then try going back to the park after a while of socializing in less stressful surroundings. As he adapts to this situation be sure to praise him and also reward him with treats so he remembers that this is a happy experience and will look forward to it again. Another fun thing to do is to have a puppy party and invite family and friends over and let your dog have a one on one experience with everyone, playing games like tug of war or fetching a ball, giving him praise and treats.

Walk your dog down your street and as he comes in contact with your neighbors have them pet him and play with games with him. Take your dog to outdoor restaurants so he can hear people and children talking, the dishes making noise and see people walking by the restaurant and coming up to your dog to pet him.

Take your dog to a dog park and let him play with dogs his own size, so he doesn’t feel threatened by a large dog towering over him. A car ride is a wonderful experience for your dog to enjoy. Dogs love it when the wind blows in their face and seeing people and interacting with other dogs in the cars when you are stopped at a light

Swimming comes natural to dogs, so taking your dog to the beach throwing a stick in the water and on the sand as you play fetch is a lot of fun and great exercise that your dog will enjoy for many hours.

Introducing your dog to all these fun and exciting experiences will make him a happy, content, fun, and well adjusted family member that will love you unconditionally and give you years of complete joy.
