Care For Your Small Dog With These Big-Impact Tips
2007-10-31 22:11:00
Basic small dog care is much the same as for larger dogs, but owners need to make a few adjustments to best meet their small dog's needs. Consider the following daily dog care routines, and how they're adapted to meet the needs of your pint-sized pup. Feeding Your Small Dog Naturally you're going to feed your dog daily, but the standard-size kibble at the grocery store may be too large for your small dog to eat comfortably. You'll need to be sure to buy a kibble designed to fit his smaller mouth (these are easy to find among the premium dog food brands). Canned soft foods are also perfectly suitable for your small dog. Containing Your Small Dog All dogs need exercise and a safe place to potty outdoors, and a fenced-in yard provides all the security they need, right? Not necessarily when it comes to small dogs. A fence that adequately holds a bigger dog may have gaps large enough for a small dog to fit between or under, allowing him to escape. Fences also can't provide overhead pro

The 5 Things You Should Know Before Breeding Cats
2007-10-31 22:10:00
The cat population is astronomical. Most experts agree that average cat owners should spay their cat, not breed. Still there are people who want to have a litter from their pet. But there�s a lot to think about before planning a feline family. Here are five things you should know: 1. It takes time. You�ll have to clean the nest every day, for two months. You should keep an eye on the kittens and watch their development � you won�t have time for a holiday. 2. It takes space. It�s not a good idea to breed if you have a 3-room apartment. Your family members should agree with your plan of having kittens. You can�t lock up these little balls of fur. They�ll go everywhere - in your partner�s study, in your baby�s bedroom, your kitchen, your bathroom. 3. It takes responsibility. Do you know beforehand that you will find a good home for your kittens? Some of your friends or relatives will say �Yes, lovely, I�ll take one of them�. But one or another may change his/her

Tips For Buying Dog Food
2007-10-31 22:10:00
It is not enough for dogs to have a full stomach after every meal. Besides a non-sedentary lifestyle, pets need proper nutrition in order to be healthy, happy and their coats soft and glossy. The cost of dog food and its brand is only important if dogs can read or pay for his meal.

This has been proven to be fatal. Symptoms of chocolate dog poisoning include vomiting, excessive urination, hyperactivity, diarrhea, followed by seizure, coma, and deat

The German Shepherd Dog
2007-10-31 22:09:00
Dogs called German Shepherd s were first exhibited at shows in Germany towards the end of the nineteenth century but they were hardly Shepherds as we know them today being rough coated, short tailed and rather resembling mongrels. The German Shepherd Dog as we now know it didn't really appear until after the Second World War. The breed has grown enormously in popularity and is now one of the most popular pedigree breeds in the UK as a pet, it is still the favourite working breed for many forces especially the police and they are widely used for security purposes. It is a fine sight to see a well-trained GSD with his handler, working well to serve and protect. Unfortunately one of the saddest sites is the poor GSD used to guard premises often chained up alone in some dismal filthy yard with a lifetime of incarceration and little stimulation to look forward to. The German Shepherd is a highly intelligent beast who will show undying devotion to his master but he is a dog that needs compa


The Demand for Luxury Dog Beds
2007-10-31 22:09:00
A pet can be as important a member of the family as a child to some owners, and making sure they sleep well is a way to express that affection. In the past several years, manufacturers have started to fill a growing demand for luxury dog beds for pet owners who wanted to lavish something special on their pets. With the advent of organic pet foods, pet clothing and nutritionally balanced pet treats, designer dog beds seemed like an idea whose time had come. Do you share your pet with someone else or move her around to different locations? Try the Botanical Bed, a portable pet sofa with lockable wheels, reversible blanket and a flower-patterned pillow. Need a fancy dog bed for a big guy who likes to loll around in different positions, flopping his head and tail over the edge as he does? Try an extra large donut bed in any one of dozens of easy to clean, designer fabrics and a variety of fills from gel to memory foam to cedar.

Health Problems in the German Shepherd Dog
2007-10-31 22:08:00
As with most pedigree breeds, there are certain hereditary conditions that can be a problem in the German Shepherd Dog as well as other health issues that are more prevalent in this breed which need to be considered if you are thinking acquiring a GSD. If you are buying a German Shepherd puppy it is important to ensure that you only purchase a healthy dog from a reputable breeder and a good idea would be to contact the breed council who should be able to provide you with a list of such breeders. Most reputable breeders don't need to advertise but if they do they tend not to use free papers or other general advertising media but will usually place their advert in a specialist dog magazine or paper. The Kennel Club will provide a list of breeders but this does not signify that they are reputable only that they register their puppies with the KC. There are a number of common conditions seen in this breed, some of which have a better prognosis than others but all of which are expensive to

The Cat and the Evil Mower
2007-10-31 22:08:00
�A coward dies a thousand deaths; a brave man dies but once.� Our cat Der Doc proved that this applies to cats as well. Caution was the watchword in Der Doc�s life. He was a grey cat, striped like a tiger but decidedly without the tiger�s courage. Daddy said, �He�s the original scaredy-cat.� Der Doc had the run of our farm in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, and the farm had multitudes of opportunities for a diligent cat. The chief opportunities lay with barn mice during the winter and field mice in the summer. Der Doc regularly partook of these opportunities. Cautiously, of course. How ironic it was that his most searing experience took place when he was cautiously minding his own business. His business being a field mouse in our hayfield, as Daddy drove the John Deere tractor into the field and began mowing the alfalfa. We children were never allowed in the field when Daddy was mowing hay, because the sickle on the mower extended out eight feet from the tractor. You c

Chocolate and Your Dogs Health--What you should Know
2007-10-31 22:07:00
Who can resist Chocolate s for Valentine's Day? Your dogs health depends on it! (resisting, that is). We humans get to indulge because most of us know when to stop. But your dog won't quit after just a few. Give her a chance and she'll down the whole box of Godivas in one gulp. So on Valentine's Day, you're actually being kind to your best buddy if you eat all the chocolates yourself! **Why is chocolate harmful to a dogs health?** Chocolate, as you know, is made with cocoa beans. And cocoa beans contain methylxanthine alkaloids in the form of theobromine and caffeinea, which are toxic to dogs. Chocolate can also contain high amounts of fat which can put your dogs health in jeopardy as well. **How Much is Too Much?** Though it's certain that dogs and chocolate don't mix, different dogs react differently to the methylxanthines. And reactions can vary according to the age, size and overall health of the dog. The smaller the dog the smaller the dose needed to produce an effect. And o

Aquarium Heaters - Preset (Thermostatic) vs Non-Preset (Automatic)
2007-10-31 22:06:00
There are two basic types of aquarium heater (and a sub type) Another term for the automatic heater is a Non-Preset Heaters , while the Thermostatic heater is also referred to as a Preset Heater. PRESET HEATERS: The Thermostatic or Preset heater has a built in thermostat (or a remote sensor as is common in many titanium aquarium heaters). These heaters may use a digital thermostat, usually monitoring the impedance of a thermistor (a resistor used to measure temperature changes in the aquarium, relying on the change in its resistance with changing temperatures), or the potential across a thermocouple (a temperature sensor used to measure electric potential difference). There are many models of aquarium heaters available today that come preset or with a temperature gauge on the side of the heater or on the control knob to help the aquarist set the temperature. The aquarist should allow the heater to adjust to water temperature for 30 minutes before plugging in this type of heater to allow

Keeping Your Dogs Teeth Healthy
2007-10-31 22:05:00
The one thing about dogs they are your very best friend. Every time you walk through the door your dog is so happy to see you that he wags his tail and virtually smiles at you. How can you show you're pet how much they mean to you? Well, one way is to think about that smile for your pet. Did you know that your dog's diet can influence their oral health and teeth? Humans need to brush and floss their teeth regularly to keep their teeth, tongue, and gums in good condition. Research has recently shown a link between good oral health in humans and a lower risk of heart disease. If good oral health can have such a profound affect on people, then it only makes sense to consider the impact it can have on man's best friend. It is important to brush your dog's teeth frequently to keep plaque and tartar from becoming an issue. Even wiping his gums with a clean, damp cloth can be beneficial. Your dog's diet also plays a role in your pet's oral health. Do you typically feed your dog canned


Identification and Treatment of Dropsy in Freshwater Aquarium Fish
2007-10-31 22:05:00
Question about Dropsy: I posted about a female Siamese fighting fish (Betta) that appeared to have dropsy a few weeks ago. I treated her twice with Maracyn. After the swelling didn't start to go down, but she is still as swollen as she was then, but has not got to the point were her scales have started to protrude? Do you know what else that it could be. She seems buoyant and the swollen cavity appears to be filled by either air, of a clear liquid, when she swims in front of the lights? Answer:Have you tried Kanacyn? Maracyn (Erythromycin) is usually not effective for most causes of Dropsy. And dropsy is generally a symptom of something else, sometimes digestive, often kidney related. Because of this, Dropsy can often be very difficult to treat, especially if caught in an advanced case in the fish. What the aquarist often observes is a "pinecone" swelling generally caused by fluid building inside the body cavity, for this reason, reducing this swelling is an important step in effectin

Horse Care & Stabling
2007-10-31 22:04:00
There are a lot of considerations in your goal of safe surroundings and room to roam in the company and security of other horses. By its nature a horse is most relaxed while grazing leisurely. So a fenced in paddock without grass is not ideal in the horse's terms, although he may tend to move about more playing with a mate in the paddock. A pasture suited to a horse will fend off many injuries and health problems. Stabling Your Horse Whether a horse can be stabled depends on the work he will be doing and his breed. Certain breeds that have thinner skin and ancestry from very warm climates are not hardy and must be stabled during the coldest of winter. Such breeds would be Thoroughbreds, Arabs and Andalusians. A stable blanket fitted to them may be needed too. Whenever a horse is required to do hard work or endurance it should be stabled and fed accordingly. A stall-kept horse is protected from inclement weather, especially cold and rain. The added security of knowing where your horse


Quick pet guinea pig care guide! Simple tips for a healthy cavy!
2007-10-31 22:04:00
Guinea pig's also known as Cavies are one of the gentlest, loving, clean and adorable pets you can care for. These timid creatures have grown in popularity over the last few years but not as much is known about pet guinea pig care as cats or dogs or fish which are more prominent. Luckily guinea pig s are not too difficult to look after, they are clean, do not smell like mice and do not bite like ferrets. Here are a few simple tips to care for your guinea pig! Housing It is best to keep your guinea pig in a decent size cage, four to six square feet of floor space for each guinea pig is good but slightly smaller will suffice. Make sure the floor is solid not wire cage like the walls however as this can hurt their feet, also guinea pigs cannot jump or climb very well also so you do not need a roof to their enclosure as long as it is about 18 inches high. Make sure your enclosure also has a place for your pet to hide in if it wants; in the wild it was defenseless against predators so when

Pet Food Recipes

Pretty much every pet owner at one time or another has thought about making their own pet food for their favorite kitty or dog. The store bought pet food is easy to serve, but it often looks disgusting and the preservatives and chemicals in it makes you wonder how healthy it really is.

How Many Fish Will My Aquarium Hold?
2007-10-31 22:02:00
Have you got yourself a new aquarium? If so, you need to have a plan on how you are going to fill it with those beautiful fish. Before you work out exactly which fish you want, you need to work out have many inches (or centimetres) of fish you can accommodate in your new aquarium. The fish will obviously have more room to swim and set up their territories in a larger aquarium, but more important than the size of the aquarium is the shape and proportions of the tank. A long, shallow tank will hold more fish than a short deep tank, even if they have exactly the same amount of water in each. The reason for this is that the oxygen content of the water depends on how easily it can be supplied. The only place this can happen is where the air meets the water, which is at the surface of the tank, so the larger the surface, the more oxygen available. Similarly, the carbon dioxide that the fish exhale has to be expelled from the water, and this also happens at the surface. So, to work out the ca

The Joy of Dog Breeding Explained
2007-10-31 22:02:00
Genetics, whether of the dog or of Homo sapiens, is never a simple subject that can be simply explained. Not only is genetics a science the determining units of which - the genes - are intangible even to the most powerful microscopes, it is not a science of individual cases. The laws of genetics rest upon statistical probabilities. Herein lies a trap for the novice breeder of dogs who, armed with a little genetic knowledge, sets forth to breed a dog that will go best in show at Westminster, paws down. The likelihood of this being accomplished in a single breeding, even from a sire and dam of undeniable excellence, is of the same order as the total numbers in a Mexican lottery. It is true that in the lottery somebody wins, but we are stressing the probability, not the win. The dog breeder's object is to "rig" the lottery so that the probability of winning is increased. Not guaranteed, mind you, but only increased. Several factors are in the breeder's favor. The dog matures rapidly and

Choosing The Right Freshwater Tropical Fish
2007-10-31 22:02:00
You have probably been to your local pet shop or aquarist dealer and seen a large variety of tropical fish to choose from. How do you go about choosing the right combination of fish for you? You can't just choose any fish you like and expect them to all get along well together, it doesn't work like that - you need a plan. Firstly, do you want a community aquarium or a species tank? A community aquarium will hold a variety of different fish that will all live in harmony with each other. A species tank, as the name suggests, will only hold one variety of fish. Most people start with a community aquarium, and it is a very good place to start. Before you work out exactly which fish you want, you need to work out have many inches (or centimetres) of fish you can accommodate in your new aquarium. A long, shallow tank will hold more fish than a short deep tank, because it is the amount of oxygen in the water that is more important than the actual quantity of water. As a guide you can expec

Give Your Betta Fish A Better Life!
2007-10-31 22:01:00
Have you ever been to your local pet shop and seen the Betta s (also known as Siamese Fighters), in a tiny little tank? When I questioned my local pet store about the size of container they were kept in, they proceeded to tell me that it is what Bettas prefer! They had obviously been asked this many times, because they handed me a photocopied piece of paper explaining how to care for a Betta, and how they like to live in tiny spaces. Now I don't know about you, but I personally think it is extremely cruel, and I think the fish think so as well, as they look pretty miserable. A good indication of it is that they aren't showing off their beautiful fins, instead they are usually skulking near the bottom, fins down. Now the pet shop's theory is that Bettas live in small puddles of water in the rice fields of Asia, but what they don't tell you is that they move from puddle to puddle, and then on to bigger expanses of water. They are not stuck in one small puddle all their life, never me


Small Dogs Require Extra Care During the Holiday Season
2007-10-30 01:45:00
The Holiday season is a time of joy and celebration. To keep it that way for everyone, people with small dogs should take some common-sense precautions. Especially now, when tiny dogs are increasingly popular, families need to stay aware of their special needs. Most people know that chocolate can be lethal to dogs. But other Holiday favorites can also pose hazards, including: turkey, pork, onions, even raisins and grapes. Other foods may simply be too spicy or rich for the dog's digestive system to handle. While a single raisin or grape may not seem like much, it could be a toxic meal to a four-pound dog. With holiday decorations coming out of their boxes, keep an eye on that little dog. It may be fun to play "chase the tinsel" with your Chihuahua, but if she swallows some when you're not paying attention, the consequences could be dire. That ornament may look a lot like your little dog's favorite ball. Poinsettias and many other plants, including lilies, are poisonous to dogs. Sma

A Rubdown for Your Dog
2007-10-30 01:44:00
Remember just how good a massage feels after a particularly hard day- those first pained responses as your muscles reacted to the beginning of the kneading, pulling and pinching motions- later followed by a more soothing and relaxed response to the rhythm of the massage? Now, just think about your dog for a moment. Don't you think your pet would definitely enjoy a gift of massage as well? All sizes, from the smallest to the most mammoth animal would, and could, enjoy the effects of a good rubdown. If you've never given your pet a massage you both have many benefits yet to enjoy. Before you begin,however, it is important to choose a quiet spot in which to work,one free of distractions If your pet is one that is responsive to touch then you should have no problem at all. If your pet is hyper- sensitive to touch then you must gain its' trust over a period of time.in order for this to be successful. A good way to begin is with the types of strokes your pet is most used to then moving


How to become a successful Dog Trainer?

While reams have been written and expounded on training secrets and the psychology of the dog one often tends to forget that the mason is the one who lays the bricks and makes the building strong. In this case it is the attitude of the trainer. Have you wondered why some trainers have a touch while others just get by? Well it is because they are in complete synchrony with the dog. # So, to be a good and successful trainer, you will need to develop your skills in a holistic/rounded manner knowledge, patience, affinity for your dog, enthusiasm, a learning zeal, and more should all be coalesced in a productive way. # To be a trainer who produces a top dog you must instinctively know what motivates your dog.

Keeping Parrot As A Pet
2007-10-30 01:38:00
Parrots are becoming more popular as pets with each passing day. This is evidenced by the proliferation of Internet discussion lists which provide access to information regarding parrot care and behavior. This upsurge in the number of parrots in homes and the amount of information newly available does not alert the companion parrot owner to a very important and pertinent fact - that parrot keeping is a relatively new phenomenon. The parrot will live in a cage, so you will need to buy one that is large enough so that the parrot can spread his wings fully. It should be made of wire preferably since the parrot would eat through a wooden one. Make sure the door is large enough so that the parrot can fit through it, and also ensure that the door can't be opened from the inside. Parrots are very smart so you will need to use a complex door closing mechanism. Remember the bigger the cage is, the happier the parrot will be, so buy the largest one you can afford.

Making Your Own Bird Feeder

There is estimated to be over 100 billion individual wild birds on earth, and each one needs to eat certain amounts of food on a daily basis in order to survive. That�s where we come in! Birdfeeders are fun to make and are essential in order for birds to live. Bird houses can be made out of practically anything and are usually hung in different locations around your yard for birds to enjoy. Purchasing a bird feeder is another option, however this can be expensive and both methods serve practically the same purpose. The following is a fun and easy way for children (or adults) to make a bird feeder: What You Will Need: - An empty milk or juice carton (any size will do) String (must be strong) Scissors Stapler - Hole punch 2 small sticks or wooden rods Bird seed Markers, paint or anything which can be used to decorate the carton. Ensure the paint is water based not to hurt your feathered friends and try not to use anything that can be potentially dangerous to swallow. Directions:


What's The Best Dog Toy For Your Adult Dog?
2007-10-30 01:36:00
As a professional dog trainer, people often ask me what dog toys I recommend they should buy and which ones I use for my own dogs. Here's the answer: Your dog doesn't need more than two toys. Rotate them, so he doesn't get bored. But remember: We're talking about an animal that eats the same food, day in/day out. And while your dog needs mental stimulation in the form of play and obedience training, they will be perfectly happy with chewing on the same toys, for years. (Much the same way young children can watch the same Barney movie 100 times without getting bored!) So, what are the two best dog toys in my opinion? - The Kong. Either in red or black. (Sometimes you need to play with your dog and this toy a bit, before your dog gets interested in it! but once they do! LOOK OUT. The benefit of this toy is that they can chew on it for months and months, in most cases. You can also stuff it with doggie treats, cream cheese, peanut butter or whatever. - The rope toy.

Crate Training Your Puppy
2007-11-04 21:18:00
If you think that training a puppy to use a crate is mean, you may want to think again. Crate training your puppy is a fast and effective way to housebreak him. In addition, the kennel will keep him safe when you aren't able to supervise him. You should purchase your kennel before your puppy arrives. Since your puppy will feel more secure in a crate that is just big enough for him to stand up and turn around in, you should avoid buying a big crate. In addition, larger crates enable your puppy to choose a potty corner and still stay clean, which makes housebreaking harder. Follow these simple steps to quickly crate train your new puppy: * Put a fleece pad or a towel in the crate.* Add a favorite toy so the puppy can amuse himself.* Take your puppy for a walk.* Place your puppy in the crate and praise him. Give him a treat.* Leave him in the crate and ignore him if he fusses.* Take him out after fifteen or twenty minutes, but do not make a big deal about it.* Immediately, take him for a

The Pom is a little dog with a big personality! This tiny fluffy creature has a wedge shaped head and looks like a little fox.

It is intelligent and eager to learn, but a firm hand must be applied or this little darling can become yippy and demanding.

While not excessively demanding, the Pomeranian does require some daily attention which you can use as a great excuse to bond with your pet! Teeth It is important that your pet get good dental care.
