| Article Title :: Does Your Dog Bite? How to Protect Your Dog and Yourself from Liability |
| |
| MuttShack Foundation for Animal Foster and Rescue, claim that dogs bite more than 4.7 million people every year in the United States.The blame could be the dog’s, the owner’s, or the victim’s. But the one who invariably pays, is the owner. The owner of the dog becomes responsible for paying for the medical bills, time lost from work as well as pain and suffering.

| Article Title :: New Pet Tag Services Provide A Sense Of Security |
| |
| The greatest benefits of ownership is knowing that your property will be there when you need it, but ownership of a pet requires a different type of security measure. Because, pets are living creatures with minds of their own, they have a tendency to want to explore new things, and this often encompasses wandering off and not knowing how to return to where they started. This dilemma poses a unique problem for their owners inthat their pet is out there alone, and they are depending on the kindness of strangers to reunite them with their lost pet.Now, every pet owner wants to have a sense of security that their pet will be returned if lost, and this is evidenced by the popularity of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is Your House Killing Your Dog? |
| |
| You love your dog. You would do anything for your dog. Well
your home may not be the best place for your dog to live a
long and happy life.Just like parents often put poisonous things into a baby’s
room (like new wallpaper and plastic toys) and wonder why
the baby is sick, people often expose their dog to things
that will kill them and wonder why the dog is sick or dying.Dogs get sick and die from cancer. That is a fact. But
did you know that household cleaning products will cause
cancer?An example is bleach. Everyone knows that it interfers
with breeding dogs by altering the sex hormones and by
killing sperm. But did you know it can alter DNA to the

| Article Title :: Fat Dogs - How To Get Overweight Dogs to Diet and Slim Down Without Whining |
| |
| Obesity in dogs is a growing problem, which can cause many problems including heart disease, joint problems, and diabetes. Almost half of dogs in America are fat, especially beagles, dachshunds, basset hounds, and Labrador retrievers. Before your dog reaches the point where they need insulin shots, you can slim them down. It will take almost a year, but it’s worth it.Even puppies shouldn’t be overweight – all dogs need to be slim, not fat, to be healthy. A dog is at the right weight if you can feel the ribs without excess fat covering. From the side, the dog’s belly should be tucked up, and from above, there should be a noticeable waist in front of the hips. When you f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Using Electrolytes to Avoid Equine Dehydration |
| |
| For heat dissipation and body cooling, a horse trotting at 11.2 mph loses about 3.3 gallons of sweat per hour under moderate conditions. The salts/electrolytes sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium are also lost with this loss of fluid. These electrolytes are responsible for the transfer of water through cell membranes, for nerves to fire and muscles to contract. Large losses of electrolytes can result in several neuromuscular and systemic disturbances including muscle cramping, tying up, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (thumps) and systemic alkalosis.Our goal as the equine caretaker is to prevent electrolyte imbalance and dehydration in the performance/stressed h (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Stop Your Dog From Barking – Training Your Dog To Keep Quiet |
| |
| Quieting a barking dog is a quick and easy process. Really. It also doesn’t cost any money. But it’s not an obvious process - witness the many dogs barking all the time in parks, backyards on street corners, with their owners tugging at their leash and yelling at them and the dogs completely ignoring their commands. My dog was driving me crazy until I learned how to stop his barking.My dog barked and whined all the time, and it was a breed (husky), that was known for making a lot of noise. The situation was especially bad when the doorbell rang or he saw strangers. It was almost impossible to stop him once he started, and if there was another dog involved, forget it – (read full article) |
