Your puppy has no concept of where and when he should go to the toilet and until he is about six months old he will have none or very limited control over when he goes, nevermind where. A puppy’s gotta do what a puppy’s got to do. Let’s face it a new home and family, possibly an older pet are just to exciting and interesting to him learn about, so all his concentration is spoken for already! It’s up to you to watch his behaviour and set times during his day to focus what little attention he has on the more basic aspects of fitting into family life. With consistency, patience, lots of praise plus a mop and some Stain and Odour Remover eventually your little puppy will grow into a young dog who has learnt some bladder control and where it is acceptable for him to relieve it.

Our Newfoundland lived to be eighteen and was never a problem for our plants even though we gardened intensively; therefore, it was shocking to see a friend’s garden wrecked by her tiny basset hound. We practiced organic gardening and our dog was innately sensitive to what was approved of him, but not all gardening practices are the same and neither are the behavior patterns of the pets.

Despite the beauty of the gardens and the docility of our dogs, we may sometimes find them to clash and make our lives bitter. Dogs have certain needs, their own personalities, and their instinctive curiosity for exploring and experiencing the things their owners do.

Dogs are wonderful creatures and when they have the proper care and affection they are the best pets. There are often times where a dog will be susceptible to a disease or contract some type of disease. You may have noticed that some dog breeds are more inclined to be ill than others. One of the most interesting dog diseases or more accurately disorders is the Lick Granuloma. The lick granuloma is a disorder characterized by over licking a particular area. There are several reasons for this issue to occur.

Pets are usually considered to be a very close member of our families. We feed them, bathe them, spend time with them, play with them, and love them with every part of our being. This includes when they are sick, ailing, or healthy. We want to take care of them as best as we can, making sure our companion will be with us for many years to come.

Depending on the type of animal you own, pet eye care could either be an everyday maintenance issue or a complete non-issue unless illness strikes. Even when an eye illness does occur, the consequences are rarely serious unless the illness goes untreated.

Questions for the environmental pet owner

1. Do you use biodegradable poop bags for your dog? ‘Normal’ carrier bag can take over 100 years to fully breakdown.

2. Do you pick up your dog’s faeces? Apart from the obvious fact that dog faeces look disgusting they can harbour disease and worms. They can contaminate grazing areas for other animals and damage the natural environment.

3. Do you use biodegradable cat litter? Cat litter is available in materials such as wood, paper and corn all of which break down.

With such a large number of different types of dog foods out there, which dog food should you buy to ensure my pet’s good health? It is a responsible dog owner’s job to select a balanced and nutritious dog food for your dog. By carefully reading the label on the dog food, you’ll be able to choose the best dog food for your dog. Remember to cautiously read every single line.

The label on the dog food states the ingredients of the dog food in order of greatest weight to least weight. This is important as someone buying dog food can easily see what the ingredients are and what their respective proportions are in relation to the dog food as a whole.

A hypoallergenic dog would be wonderful because he would not trigger your allergies. Although there is no such thing as a non-allergenic dog, some dogs are certainly better than others. The first advantage of a hairless dog is that he is going to produce fewer allergens than dogs with fur. If you have allergies or if you have asthma, this is a wonderful thing.

There is another advantage of a hairless dog that is so obvious. No hair! This is great because it means that you’ll have very little to clean up. You won’t have to vacuum all the time, in your home or in your car.
