Do Dogs Dream and What Do Dogs Dream About?

At one time or another, most pet owners ask the questions, "do dogs dream?" and "what do dogs dream about?" Research has been done on this subject, and the answers might surprise you! I'm sure you've seen your dog twitch his legs and make muffled whining sounds while he's asleep. Is he dreaming or is this something else? The quick answer is, yes, dogs do dream. Research has found that dogs dream much like humans. What happens to your pet while he's asleep and what kinds of things do dogs dream about?

Recipe: Homemade Dog Food for Loose Stool

It's virtually guaranteed that your dog is going to suffer from loose stool from time to time throughout this life. Whether it's because he ate something he shouldn't have or he's fighting off a bout of the flu, this homemade dog food for loose stool may help. Diarrhea is caused by digestive upset. It's usually not something to worry about, but if it lasts for more than 48 hours, you should call your veterinarian. Likewise, if the loose stool is accompanied by other symptoms, you should contact your vet immediately.

Why Do Dogs Have Wet Noses?

Typically, a healthy dog's nose is moist and cool. Why do dogs have wet noses? Do all dogs have wet noses? Is it bad if your dog's nose is dry? I'll answer all of these questions in this article. I'm sure you've heard the common misconception that that if your dog's nose is dry it means that he sick. The reality is, the moisture level and temperature of your dog's body fluctuates all the time. This means that his nose could be cool and wet sometimes and dry and warm other times. It's not necessarily an indicator of your pet's health and wellbeing. What I'm trying to say is, just because your dog's nose dry, doesn't mean that he's sick.

Review: Greenbene Pet Grooming Vacuum

We have three dogs, and they all have different coat types. We have a Labrador who sheds excessively, a Beagle mix who is moderate shedder and a mixed breed who is a mild shedder. The Greenbene pet grooming vacuum has been a lifesaver when it comes to grooming our dogs. I usually have a big mess to clean up after a grooming session. I try to keep the hair in one area, but there is always plenty that flies around.

Review: HappyDogz Magic Pro DeShedding Tool

All dogs shed, of course, but some shed much worse than others. Having a brush like the HappyDogz Magic Pro Deshedding Tool will help to reduce the shed hair around your home. Some deshedding tools are designed for specific dog sizes, coat types or coat lengths. While this is great for owners who only have one pet, it is a disadvantage if you have a multi-pet household.
