Doggy, Doggy, Need a New Home

My Adopted Dog, Shorty

Your family finally agrees it's time to bring home a new friend. Your family pet of fifteen years is sorrowfully missed and you can't imagine ever finding brown eyes like his again. Visiting the pet stores, reading the pets for sale ads, and talking to friends, you wonder; what's the best way to add a new member to your family?

Pet adoption is an option pet lovers should definitely consider. Although it may not be for some, it's a true gift. Not just for you to be able to find that special pet, but for little 'Rover' whose only crime was being too furry. Pets like Rover are looking for a family who will just love him as he is. Even if he's not perfect, they want the love of someone willing enough to teach them what is best for the family. With love and gratitude, your little adopted friend will want to do all he can to make you happy.

Seeing the row of big brown eyes in a shelter is enough to break your heart. You would love to take them all, but your place can only hold one. Knowing that by helping just one little friend find love and comfort is a great place to start.

Pet adoption centers and shelters typically let you know which pets are good with kids or other pets and which ones wouldn't be. They will give you a small history of what the pet has been through. Giving hope to a dog can be all he needs to be the greatest friend you'll ever have!

Often you will see a display of mixed breeds and mutts, but they can be incredibly fun. They usually have their own look, and like many dogs, just want to be loved. Better yet, they just want to love you and make you happy. Whether you adopt a young pup from a shelter or whether you decide to give an older fellow a place to grow old is up to you, but the choice to love one of these dogs can be more rewarding than you can imagine.

Don't count them out. A dog in a shelter isn't there because he was bad so much as he just had a bad start or someone who did love them simply couldn't care for him the way he needed. Give this friend a chance, it may be the greatest decision you'll make for you and your family.

Dog Food - 10 Dog Food Ingredients You Should Avoid

---

What dog foods and food ingredients should you avoid feeding my dog?

Are you concerned about the health of your dog? I compiled a list of 10 foods and ingredients which you should not feed your dog.

1. You should not give chocolate to your puppy because it contains the alkaloid theobromine, caffeine which is toxic to dogs.

2.. Dog’s digestive system can not digest the protein and sugar in dairy products. Hence you should not feed dairy products like milk, cream, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, whey, sour cream, kefir, casein, and ice cream.

3. Dogs are very sensitive to oils so always avoid the same. Even you should be extra careful before you apply oil to dog for aromatherapy or massage.

4. There is a recent report regarding toxicity due to grape and raisin ingestion so avoid them.

5. Some houseplants are toxic so you should avoid houseplants till you train your dog properly on chewing. If you like, you can provide a pot of fresh wheatgrass for safe nibbling.

6. You should avoid onions and garlic because they might irritate the gastrointestinal system.

7. Salmon poisoning is an infectious disease caused by a rickettsia that uses a parasitic fluke on salmon as a host. It can cause serious illness and death.

8. Soy contains compounds that may harmfully affect dogs by interfering with nutrient absorption, normal growth, thyroid function, and hormonal development.

9. Sugar comes in many forms, including beet, raw, brown, cane, fructose, corn sweetener, corn syrupdextrin, dextrose, glucose, lactose, maltose, barley malt, molasses, honey, and maple syrup. Sugar in any form should be avoided.

10. Most dogs can not tolerate Yeast. Yeast should be avoided because tey cause allergic reactions, bloating, digestive and urinary problems.

Your Garden and Your Dog!

 

Summer is here all year around for some people.  It's still cold around here.  For a lot of people that means that they can enjoy the two greatest loves in their life; their dog and their garden.

Unfortunately, the two do not always get along.  The garden starts to grow.  Visions of flowers, herbs and vegetables are in your head. Your dog also has visions...visions of playing in the green grass, in the shade of the batch of lilies that are growing in the corner.  I know my black lab, Benny, loved to lie in the midst of the lilies and hide.  He would stretch out like a torpedo.  Heck one day I couldn't find him at all, I thought he was lost.

But, along with all those wonderful visions comes danger for your dog.  So, here are a few tips and tricks for you.

- Remember, Bored dogs get into trouble.  A dog needs a walk, no matter how big your property.  A dog needs a walk, that steady, fast forward walk.

- Teach your dog a cue; one sentence that means "get out of the garden".  I did that with my two, and it works!  It means you have to spend a little extra attention on your dog at the beginning.  But it works.  By the way, this is also good if you take your dog visiting.  It means your dog will learn to respect all gardens.

- There are pet friendly "pet repellents" available.  Please, make sure that they are safe.  A beautiful garden is not worth the life of your pet.

- At the beginning of the season, if you have a place you don't want your dog to go, put down some bristled twigs; it will reinforce the "get out of the garden" phrase you will say when your dog goes to that spot.

And mostly, please be aware for the Safety of your pets.

- Try to chose other than chemicals for lawn and garden care. Even organic garden products can be dangerous to your pets.  If you have a need to use them, keep your pets away, usually for 24 hours.

- A lot of the garden fertilizers are made of "animal bone meal" which is very attractive to dogs.  Please use an alternative.  Become aware of what you use around your dog.  Especially if you have a new dog or puppy.

- Also, certain plants are poisonous to dogs.

Become aware of what could hurt your pet, and have a great summer!

Adopting Wildlife

Okay, so adopting an elephant doesn't seem practical.  Where would you put it?  Oh, and what would the neighbours say?  I am sure the poop and scoop signs will be posted prominently on your lawn in no time!  Your love for wildlife is wonderful, but how can you make a difference for an elephant you can't bring home?

A wonderful concept for you to consider is sponsorship and adoption programs that are run through various wild-life organizations.  Local reserves and zoos also have these in place.

http:/www.choose-dog-adoption.com

Caring for an exotic pet requires know how and money.  Not to mention it's not good for the animal to be kept in such unnatural settings.

With the rise of poaching and the fear of extinction it becomes a prominent need to find ways in which we can help these beautiful and great creatures.  Whether you passion is for elephants, polar bears, panda bears, whales, or apes, all of these great creatures and more are in need of some much desired help.

Loss of habitat has become a growing concern for many species as well.  In fact the statistics of some of earths most beautiful creatures is shocking and heart breaking.  Not being able to keep an elephant or tiger in your basement, does not mean you can't help.  You can!

The WWF (World Wildlife Fund or www.wwf.ca ) is one organization that is designed to make a difference.  It's not for everyone to go out there and help hands on, it's not an easy task and can be significantly dangerous, and they do that for you.  What they need from you is help in saving these animals on a financial basis.  Your help is critical and your financial donations will be handled with care.  Whether you wish to give a one time donation or become a monthly sponsor is entirely up to you.  It's a great place to start in the conservation of these endangered animals.

Some organizations like the WWF will allow you to adopt a specific animal; for instance a Bengal Tiger. You will be given the name of a tiger in captivity who is being cared for, you will receive a photograph, and information about this tiger specifically and any additional information regarding this creature.  Like many animals, the Bengal Tiger needs people like you to help save them from extinction.

The next time you feel the tug on your heart to do something for these creatures, check your options on how you can adopt a wildlife animal and sponsor a cause that works daily to save these special creatures from extinction.  For just a few dollars a month, you can make a huge difference to one of these animals and you can be proud knowing you are doing something we need more people to do.

Dog Training Secrets

Aggressive behaviors and signs is something that professional trainer Brian Heward explains quite well in the Dog Training DVD Series that we have put out at Kingdom of Pets. He talks a lot about establishing your role as leader. Now everyone knows how very important it is to position yourself at the top of the "pack" in your hybrid family of humans and dogs. But Brian really makes sense of why it is in fact ---more--- stressful for a dog who is a dominant "Alpha" dog but really does not want to be.

By Jim Nettleton

If you’re as much of a dog lover as I am, you’re well aware that a dog plays a special role in a home. He is part of the family. Just as we train and teach our kids, we should also teach and train our dog. It is a proud feeling to have a dog that is well mannered and obedient. The dog appreciates it too, knowing that he’s pleasing his human friends. It does not come naturally for them to obey. Hence, they need to be shown, through firmness and kindness, but never through physical pain. Never, ever hit or smack a dog as it will only make them more nervous or aggressive, not to mention that it’s cruel. Instead you need to have a lot of patience and perseverance as well.

Whether you decide to train your dog yourself, with the guidance of someone else, or a handbook training course, please remember the most important thing - any type of action has to be done again and again. It is only when it is repeated that he will get the hang of it. Humans aren’t the only species that is forgetful, dogs are too. They need to be reminded often and instructions need to be repeated again and again. But once he is trained, he will hardly need any instruction again. The training will be permanently imbedded. He will be well behaved and will possess a good temperament. Everyone loves a dog that follows its master's commands and is well behaved. For in depth training information, visit my training site through the link in my resource box below.

Also when you train him, make him understand who is boss. Dogs have a tendency to take over and try to be the boss, if they realize that the owner is not taking the initiative. Training together also brings you both closer together and strengthens your relationship. There are many good schools in case you want to send him elsewhere to be trained. It is this training that could save his or yours. It is when a trained dog knows what to do, that he will salvage a situation. It is also every important to understand his speed of learning and his overall ability to learn, as many dogs possess varying levels of those qualities. And if you want him to be well trained, then understanding his feelings and taking them into consideration is a big part of the package.

Many training regimens are good for the dog in many ways. Fetching, for example, gets your dog much needed exercise. The dog also enjoys it because he recognizes it as play and, therefore, fun. Truth be told, it’s fun for humans, too. And we as a group can also certainly use the exercise.

Your Garden and Your Dog!

Summer is year around in some place. It's cold around here, but, still, it is summer for some areas. For a lot of people that means that they can, at least for a few months, enjoy the two greatest loves in their life; their dog and their garden.

Unfortunately, the two do not always get along. The garden starts to grow. Visions of flowers, herbs and vegetables are in your head.

Pet Insurance - Answering Your Questions

Most people are familiar with healthcare insurance for themselves and their family but what about their pets? Pet insurance is a new idea in insurance to help cover the four-legged members of the family. Granted, your workplace may not cover the insurance but it is very valuable to have in case your pet becomes sick. Routine veterinary care may not be expensive but if your pet was to become sick or injured, costs could quickly mount up and be beyond your ability to repay. The old adage of "better to be safe than sorry" is very true when it comes to insurance. It is better to have it and not need it than to find yourself with a sick pet and no way of paying the vet bills. Most people are unaware or inexperienced when it comes to pet insurance but this article will cover some of the basics when it comes to what to expect in pet insurance.

How much can I expect to pay for insurance?

Pet insurance rates, much like our insurance rates, will vary according to each person. Some insurance carriers decide the rate of their plans based on the person's credit score. Other underwriters do not use this method to determine the amount the insurance holder will need to pay each month. The average plan will run around $30 a month for a dog and $20 a month for a cat. There may be additional fees that vary according to the insurance underwriter. Always make sure and check the information before you buy the insurance policy. If you have any questions make sure and call the insurance company. If the wait is an impossible amount of time or they seem vague on their knowledge, go to another company. If they are that horrible with potential customer concerns imagine what they would be like if you were a customer.

Is there a co-pay or deductible?

Just as you pay a deductible for your own health insurance, pet insurance also has a deductible. But it is a significant amount lower. Most pet insurance deductibles are $50.00 per accident category. Pet insurance does not work in the same manner as typical healthcare insurance. At the time of the vet visit you will pay for the entire amount and then fill out a claim form that is then submitted to the pet insurance carrier. The carrier will pay you a set amount for that procedure. The costs allowed per procedure vary and only the insurance company can determine what percentage you will have to pay after the deductible.

How much out of pocket will I be expected to pay if my pet needs surgery?

Unfortunately the downside to pet insurance is that you will have to pay for the entire amount out of your pocket before the insurance company pays you a portion back. When you take your pet in for surgery you will need to take along a claim form that the veterinarian will complete. After completing the form and filling out the claim information, along with attaching copies of the receipts and invoices, you will mail or fax the information to the insurance. After reviewing the information the insurance company will mail out a check for the amount of the procedure they cover.

Some veterinary clinics will make payment arrangements with you in case of an emergency. If you have a long history of good payments to your vet, you can discuss this at a visit. Chances are high that he or she can work with you. The ultimate goal of both you and the vet is a healthy and safe pet.

Is there a limit on what my pet insurance will pay out?

Yes, there is a limit on how much of the procedure is covered by the insurance company. This amount varies depending on which insurance plan you select, what your deductible is and how much the actual procedure runs. When you sign up for pet insurance the company will provide you with a list of procedures they cover along with how much per procedure is covered.

Can my pet be turned down for insurance?

The great thing about pet insurance is that your pet cannot be turned down. It does not matter if it is elderly or young. Most insurance policies have a fourteen day waiting period before the insurance is effective. They also may include a stipulation regarding pre-existing conditions. One common condition that is included in the insurance policy is for an ACL tear. These require a twelve month waiting period before any reimbursement.

Problems With A Barking Dog?

For some people it is an offence to have a barking dog around them, they think that dogs should be seen and not heard. This is slightly unfair given that the bark is a dog's voice and like yourself it uses it to communicate.

In some instances of course you want your dog to bark loudly such as when a suspected burglar approaches or if you fall into trouble of some sort and need urgent assistance. In most cases your dog is just trying to talk to you, perhaps he is just happy about something, dog obedience training will help you to find this out for sure.

The problem is that the language barrier between barking dogs and humans is well nigh impenetrable. Therefore, you are forced to resort to the facts of the situation in which your dog is barking and try to understand from its body language just what it is trying to say.

Apart from that many people ask just why do dogs bark? Dogs will always bark but the problem is sorting out what the good reasons are.

Naturally they will bark when they are happy about something such as greeting you on your return or perhaps they are happy about running around in the park.

Some dogs having barking bred into to them such as toy dogs or sporting breeds where they are trained to bark in order to notify their owners of the presence of a particular quarry being hunted. Other dogs like the guarding breeds are trained only to bark when a threat is perceived.

One of the good reasons as to why your dog barks is simply to warn you of the presence of strangers. I assume that you want this to continue as many people use dogs for just this purpose.

Again the context of the situation will help you to decide the likely cause. But of course it is not fair for you to try to shut the dog up. She may be communicating for a very good reason, you just need to spend some effort in understanding her.

However, dogs are not stupid animals there are situations where they realise that they can use their bark to annoy or force their owner into a particular action. Bullying by barking is something you should never allow your dog to do.

For instance you dog may have decided that it is time to play and continues barking until you give in and drop what you are doing to amuse her. The problem here is that the dog then learns that all she has to do is to bark whenever she wants something and you will oblige.

This can get very wearing after a quite short period of time. The best approach would have been to show the dog that it cannot get its own way by giving it the cold shoulder.

Just take no notice and turn your back on your dog to show your displeasure. After repeated actions your dog should eventually get the message.

A gentle reminder that walks and playtimes are to be had at your convenience, not when your dog barks to demand them. This teaches your dog respect and hopefully makes for a quieter household with limited barking dog problems.

Consult a good book on dog obedience training like SitStayFetch to solve many of the problems you will encounter when you are training your dog.

Parrot Training for Beginners

It's not difficult at all to get started with training your pet parrot. You can start by teaching your bird a few basics, and this is true whether your pet has been with you a few days or a few years. The step-up command is easy to teach, and it is also one of the most helpful things you can teach your parrot as well. In other words, you tell the bird to "step up" and it should immediately step onto your hand.

So why is teaching step-up important to you and your parrot? It makes it easier to take your bird from its cage, for one thing. Step-up also comes in handy when a parrot climbs up to your shoulder, which they sometimes do even when you try not to allow it. Parrots sometimes will bite when you try to get them off of your shoulder. A bird that has been trained to step up will be easier to deal with in this situation. And if you ever find your bird in a dangerous situation, the step-up command could literally be a life saver. Plus, it teaches the parrot to cooperate with you, which as you can imagine is an important advantage as well. This is why people who are experienced with parrots often recommend beginning training with teaching the bird to step up.

Start Training Your Bird to Step Up

It is generally very easy to teach a bird to step up to your hand. You slowly place your hand so that it is in front of your bird at around the height of its feet and in a normal speaking tone, give the command to "step up." Remember that your bird doesn't understand our language, so it will learn what these words mean over time. For now, you can gently push your finger against your bird's lower stomach area to push it backwards just a little. In most cases, the parrot will step onto your finger as you give this gentle push. Be sure to enthusiastically praise your bird when he steps up correctly. You can then ask your bird to step-up a few additional times, encouraging your bird to go from one hand to the other. Be sure to give the step-up command each time.

Parrot Still Doesn't Willingly Step Onto My Hand

Some birds grab a hold of the perch and won't let go for anything. Who knows what is going on inside their heads, but this is how you handle this situation. While continuing to hold your one hand in front of the bird, move your other hand behind the bird and hold it a few inches behind it as if you are about to pick it up from behind. Most parrots don't like to be picked up this way, and this action gives the bird a choice of either that or stepping up to your hand. Nine times out of ten, the parrot will choose to step up. Always remember to enthusiastically praise your bird when it does the correct behavior.

Keep Practicing with Your Bird

Be sure to keep up the practice with your parrot. Practice daily at first, and then do semi-regular practice sessions throughout the bird's life to reinforce this behavior. If you do this, you'll find your bird is easier to handle and it won't be nearly as bad when the "terrible twos" hit. And there you go! You've just taken your first step (pun intended) towards becoming a parrot training expert.

5 Easy Ways to Cure Dogs Yeast Infection - Dog Ear Yeast Infection

Do you really know what is in your pet food? Click On The Picture And See For Yourself!

A dog can be plagued with any type of infection on any area of the body, but usually yeast infection affects a dog’s ears more than any other part of the body. I guess it is because of how the ear is positioned; it is close to the head and if not properly cleaned can develop an infection.

Dogs that have floppy ears don’t get enough circulation and dogs that do not get enough sunlight are susceptible to dog ear yeast infection. Yeast is developed in areas that are moist and dark. If a dog has had a bath, the area behind the ears needs to be dried properly. Putting the dog out in the sunlight will help to dry behind the ears.

Look for any excessive scratching behind the ear and notice any type of redness, swelling or discharge as well as any unusual odor coming from the animal. These are some of the signs of dog ear yeast infection.

Taking your dog to the vet is the best possible reaction to these symptoms. However, some dog owners have found natural methods that work even faster than anything that the vet may prescribe for the animal. So in cases where the problem still persists, you can opt for natural cure of a dog’s ear yeast infection.

Here are some options you might want to consider to cure dog ear yeast infection:

1. Change your dog’s diet to foods that will help to build up the immune systems. Dogs are pretty much like humans who get sicker when the immune system is low. Do not give your dog only the scraps from your leftovers to eat. There are different types of dog foods that target the immune system. Go to your local pet store to see what you can find. You can also give your dog Vitamin C and anything that will improve the health of your dog.
2. As discussed before, make sure that your dog’s ear is clean and dry because yeast grows more when it is in a moist area. If you have a dog that has ears that stand up, it is easier to maintain because nature (sunlight) will dry it for you. However, if the dog has droopy ears, then more care needs to be taken to keep it clean and dry. Try to see if your dog will let you put a headband that pulls the ear forward so it can have a chance to dry properly. Do this when the dog is lying down. Trim any excessive hair growth behind the ears. Use diluted vinegar to wipe behind the ears.
3. Stay away from giving your dog too much antibiotics. Antibiotics are a friend to yeast infection in both humans and animals. The body has a natural flora balance and the antibiotics disrupt the flow to cause yeast to grow.
4. Use anti-microbial herbs, if possible, which you can get at your local health food store. Pau d’arco is a great natural anti-microbial that you can try. Check with your vet first.
5. Chorhexidine is a good substitute for prescription treatment as well as the ointment known as Cotramizole.

Your dog is depending on you to take care of its dog ear yeast infection. If you follow the tips above, it will help to cure dog ear yeast infection, but make sure you do your own research and get medical help when needed. To get more dog ear yeast infection tips, CLICK HERE.

Dogs with Yeast Infection find Natural Cure for Yeast Infection

Rex was a very playful dog. He loved to have you throw him any small object and he would run and get it. Sharon's kids loved Rex. They would come over to my house with Rex and my boys would also enjoy playing with Rex.

One day the boys came over and Rex was not with them. When I asked why, they hesitated to tell me. The older boy hung his head and told me to call his mom, Sharon and she would tell me. I called Sharon only to learn that she too was ashamed to tell me that Rex had yeast infection.

I asked her how he got it and she explained that the vet told her that Rex had dog ear yeast infection, which was a primary yeast infection that affected the skin and because his immune system could not resist the bacteria that causes yeast infection, he had contaminated it from other dogs in the neighborhood that he might have been playing with.

Dogs with yeast infection

Sharon sounded so sad and so were the boys. My boys also missed Rex and were asking me so many questions that I could not answer.

Sharon told me that she did not want Rex to be around the kids because he had all kinds of skin rashes and he just wouldn't stop scratching.

I decided to go on a research to find out what I could do to help this family since Sharon told me that what the doctors were giving Rex was not helping at all.

Curing a dog yeast infection

I did some extensive probing online and found a book written by Sarah Summers, titled 12 Hours to Natural Cure of Yeast Infection." I wasn't sure if this book could help since it seemed to target human beings and not canine yeast infection.

I sent an email to Sarah Summers, not sure if she would answer me back. Lo and behold, I got an email from her within a few days. She confirmed what I had hoped for. The natural methods that she had in her book had been well researched, she reported, and could help any type of yeast infection in men, babies, women and dogs.

I still wasn't sure, so I asked her if she could give me the email or phone number of someone who had tried it for their dog. I was sure now that she was going to give me a negative answer. I had pushed her in a corner.

To my amazement, she told me she would get back to me within an hour. I got an email a little over an hour later and was given the name and phone number of someone who had used her method to cure dogs yeast infection. However, before I made the phone call, I wanted to be sure that I wasn't just given the name of just any person so I did a reverse phone search to make certain that the phone number belonged to that person and that was when I made the phone call.

To make the story shorter, within 4 days of purchasing Sarah Summer's book online and getting the natural treatment for the dogs yeast infection, Rex was his old self again and that yeast infection was gone and never returned.

So it is from that standpoint that I can recommend Sarah Summer's book. If you would like to know more about how to get a copy of this book, go to 12 Hour Natural Cure for Yeast Infection Now.
