Can I Afford A Dog?

Owning a pet is expensive. It’s more than just planning for food and toys. If you’ve been asking yourself, can I afford a dog, here is everything you need to know. A big part of being a responsible pet owner is preparing for the endeavor financially. Creating a consistent budget can help you plan for routine expenses like food, treats and toys, as well as unexpected expenses like vet visits in the event of an emergency.

Review: Duke-N-Boots Dog Paw Scrubber

Recipe: High Protein Homemade Dog Food

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.

Why Do Dogs Shake Their Toys?

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.

What Is Happy Tail Syndrome in Dogs and How To Treat...

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.

Why Do Cats Purr?

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.

Recipe: Chicken and Sage Dog Biscuits

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.
