I hate it when my dogs track muddy pawprints through my house. This dog paw scrubber from Duke-N-Boots has saved me a lot of floor cleaning. Paw washers, like this one, make it easy to wash your pet's feet before he jumps into your vehicle or runs through your house.

Providing the right nutrition for your dog is all about balanced nutrition. High protein homemade dog food isn't going to be right for every dog. Be sure to discuss any dietary changes with your veterinarian or a trained canine nutritionist before making the switch. Protein isn't just the building block of muscle. It also aids in nerve function and helps to build strong bones.

Dogs do a lot of strange things leaving owners to wonder about their odd behaviors. If you’ve been wondering why do dogs shake their toys aggressively, I’ve got the answer! Humans domesticated dogs between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago. Through selective breeding, humans have been able to change just about every aspect of a dog’s genetic makeup. We have created bigger, stronger dogs than ever before. We’ve also created smaller breeds than ever before. Dogs that are faster, jump higher and even dogs that don’t shed have been developed by selective breeding over hundreds of years.

A dog’s tail is one of the key tools he uses to communicate. If it’s not working properly, it can be painful and make things challenging for your dog. What is happy tail syndrome in dogs and is it treatable? In this guide I’ll explain exactly what happy tail syndrome is, how it happens and the different treatment options available. Tail injuries in dogs can be difficult, and even frustrating, to deal with. It’s hard to keep the tail still, and trying to stop your dog from wagging is like trying to keep the rain from falling.

Nothing makes you happier as a cat owner than scratching your kitties chin and listening to her purr. Why do cats purr? Is it just because they’re happy? Research actually shows that there are many reasons why cats purr. After a recent conversation with my veterinarian I also learned that purring isn’t always a voluntary behavior. That means that your cat doesn’t always purr on purpose.

Most dogs love chicken, but getting your pet to eat sage could be a challenge. These sage dog biscuits are a favorite with our pack, and they offer a lot of nutritional benefits. In small amounts, sage is safe for dogs to eat. It is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it is especially good for dogs with arthritis and other inflammation issues. Sage is a superfood ingredient, when used in small quantities. If you feed too much sage, it could cause gastrointestinal upset.

One of the best qualities of our canine companions is their unwavering loyalty. Why are dogs so loyal? There are amazing stories about the unmatched loyalty of dogs - dogs that have sat on their owner’s graves, waited patiently for months for their owners to return from war and even stories of dogs walking thousands of miles to reunite with their masters.

Buying dog food in bulk saves money, but you need to be sure that it's stored properly. Pet food storage isn't just about the container you use, you'll need a scoop, like this pet food scoop from Duke-N-Boots. Did you know that dry dog food products lose nutrients over time if they aren't stored properly? Many commercial pet foods are already lacking in the nutrient department, so you want to make sure that you don't lose any more due to improper storage. If you feed dry kibble, you'll need to find a storage container that is easy for you to access, but difficult for your pup to get into. You'll also need to ensure that the container can hold the amount of dog food that you purchase at one time.

Urinary tract infections are fairly common in dogs, and they're usually not something to be too concerned about. This dog food recipe for UTI issues may help your pet, but it's important to run the recipe past your veterinarian first. If you believe that your dog has a urinary tract infection, you need to consult your veterinarian for a urinalysis in order to be sure. Your veterinarian will want a urine sample from your pet, and I've made a quick guide on how to obtain one easily.

If you have some old bananas starting to turn brown on your sideboard, you may be thinking of making banana bread.

Bananas are a low calorie ingredient that are also high in vitamins and minerals like biotin, potassium and copper.
