People Foods Friendly for Dogs

Posted by David on April 28th, 2009

People Friendly Foods for Dogs If your dog is like most, its part time profession is begging for table scraps, and when its time for dinner, guess who is always first in line for a plate. Dogs can share a wide variety of foods with you, but their diet pyramid is a lot different than ours. A K9’s diet should be made up of at least at least 90% lean meat. Other foods from groups like vegetables, fruits, and carbs are also okay. To read more about pouch friendly foods continue over at woofreport.com

What To Consider For Your Pets When Remodeling

Posted by David on April 21st, 2009

Thinking of remodeling your home? Having your pets in mind when you make design changes to your home is something most people don’t consider, but its a chance to really make your life, and your pets’ lives much better.

Think about it — How convenient would it be to have a small shower head and drain in the laundry room by the back door for easy cleaning of your dog? How about a small open cabinet that conceals from your view your kitty litter box? That cabinet could even host a small fan and vent above it to draw smells out of the house. What about building planks near the ceiling as cat walks to make it easier for your cats to move between rooms without getting caught under foot?

There are many easy and innovate things you can do when designing a room to enhance your life and the life of your dog or cat. Think about how happy your pet will be going from being a homeless dog or homeless cat at the animal shelter, to being in a home custom built for love?

What To Ask Your Veterinarian

Posted by David on April 14th, 2009

What To Ask The VetTaking your new pet (whether dog, cat, hamster, or any other living thing) to the veterinarian should be your first priority. This is especially true if you have other pets. It’s a good idea to make sure your new pet is healthy and doesn’t have any diseases or viruses he or she could transmit to other animals in the house.

Your first veterinarian visit should be an enjoyable experience. You’ll learn all kinds of things about your new companion! Plus, you’ll want your veterinarian to get to know your pet during times of health so he or she will easily be able to recognize abnormal behavior if your pet ever becomes ill.

Here are three essential questions for your new vet, for detailed information check our What to Ask The Veterinarian Guide.

3 Essential Questions For The Vet

  • How often does my pet need a checkup?
  • Does my pet need to go to the dentist like I do?
  • What kinds of preventative treatments might my pet need?
