Common Problems for Overweight Dogs (And What to Do About It)
Diagnosing and Treating Dog Allergies
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from allergies. Approximately 1 to 2 in 10 dogs have allergies, meaning this is a common condition – and yet a lot of owners don’t know their dogs are suffering. Here’s how to go about getting a diagnosis for your dog and how to treat them if they do have allergies.
The Best Dietary Supplements for Senior Dogs
More and more dog owners are looking into dietary supplements to improve their pet’s health, especially owners of senior dogs. As a senior dog myself, I am familiar with what supplements are the most popular for senior dogs and why. If your dog is advancing in years and beginning to slow down, you may want to consider adding these supplements to their diet.
Should your dog sleep in the bed with you?
From my point of view, snuggling up together for a nap is one of the great joys in life. My owner Penelope seems to think so, too, and as does about 50% of the pet-owning population in this country, all of whom sleep in the same bedroom (and possibly bed) as their pets. But there are certainly pros and cons to allowing your dog to sleep in bed with you.
Keeping Your Dog Warm on Cold Days
Train Your Dog to Stop Straining on the Leash
Today I want to talk about walking on a leash. It sounds simple but believe it or not, it can be challenging for many owners to get their pooches to walk properly on the leash! Many dogs strain against the leash, lunge, or want to be in charge rather than following their owner. (Not me, of course! I’m referring to other dogs.) These can be hard habits to break in dogs who have gotten set in their ways, but it’s not impossible! Follow these training tips.
