<p class="first-child "><span title="D" class="cap"><span>D</span></span>og Day Care home business is booming internationally due to its multitude of facilities provided to the dog owners who do not find time to groom or walk their dogs and have difficulties while traveling as well as providing home security, picking up mail, newspaper and watering the potted plants. Considering the number of dog owners in the country today, Dog Day Care business is one of the best small business ventures that you c<span id="more-329"></span>an undertake having sufficient clients who will ask to take care of their dogs when they are out. Survey report reveals that this is the best time to start a business in the Pet Care Industry for increased inclination to pets that will thrive even in the coming years. </p>
<p>It is amazing to find that in United States alone there are upwards of 63.2 million individuals who own a pet, or two where roughly 64 million are dogs in the households. This small report is enough to support reason behind the swinging up of Dog Day Care home business. Pet owners throughout the world are mentally at peace and are breathing a sigh of relief at the thought they need not to worry about their dogs when they travel which was a great problem in the past when the owners have to rely on grandparents or relatives and the neighbors to see to the needs of their pets when they had to travel for business, or a family vacation. Due to several other problems some people gave up and simply refused to have an animal. The unbearable scenario that has to be viewed by the dog owners when traveling, or how they behaved after being picked up from a kennel after a week or more away from home persuaded them to come out with an unique idea of a pet care business which spread like a wildfire. </p>
<p>Before starting Dog Day Care home businesses chalk out the recognition of true animal lovers. Though the foundation of your business depends on your love for animals but the success of your business lies in your smart business sense that will keep you maneuvering. You can set up the business for a minimum budget but care should be taken that a budget should be laid out to meet the costs of the outgoing business. Some research work is needed to expand your business. Go for niche and be competitive in your rates. Learn to be people person and cultivate warm and friendly temperament. Get acquainted with each pet and their habits, character and personality. You should also collect history of illnesses, vaccination records, veterinary information, as well as a place to contact the pet owner if needed.</p>

This &#8220;classical music dog video&#8221; documents the dogs at our dog daycare and will have you glued to your screen, on the edge of your seat, laughing and crying. Everybody loves this video! Residents at one of our local elder homes demand to watch it every day — since it came out in 2005! A proud example of what cage-free dog daycare can be, &#8220;Dog Days: Dogs at Play&#8221; is both a fascinating study of group dog behavior and a testament to the value of proactive dog socialization.  <H3>Help answer the question about Dog Day Care</H3>Dog day care option for a 2 month old puppy?<br />I&#039;m bringing a 2 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

<p>“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” Josh Billings (1818-1885, US Humorist)</p>
<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>his morning I was driving along a busy street, in a fog, sipping strong tea when I saw the geese. I have come to think of geese as very large rats with wings. The outlying Chicagoland area is so infested with these birds that you have to be careful where you step. The best thing I can norm<span id="more-354"></span>ally say about them is that it’s fun for the dogs to run them off, and I frequently use the cantankerous fowl as distractions. When you can call a six month old pet Lab off a flock of geese, I figure you have a recall.</p>
<p>Now I never said geese were stupid. That has never been my opinion. They seem to know it is more likely they will be harassed by dogs on my property than on my neighbor’s. Therefore, they avoid my grass. Or perhaps they just have an aversion to dog urine. Either way, we’ve reached an understanding.</p>
<p>Frankly, with the vast numbers of them around, I never understood why we weren’t eating them. Then I saw the pair of geese along the road.</p>
<p>One was lying dead on the median. The second was crossing two lanes of busy traffic. Cars were whizzing past the live goose, back drafts unbalancing it. But it waddled on, unaware or unconcerned of the hazard. That goose appeared to have one single minded purpose…reach its unmoving mate.</p>
<p>Before I continue, let me emphasize that I am not a scientist, geneticist, nor a zoologist. I am a dog trainer. I am well read, and most of what I believe comes from what I have read combined with what I observe. Can one even be a good dog trainer without keen powers of observation, reading and interpreting what one sees?</p>
<p>Geese, as most people know, mate for life. Their bond is undoubtedly instinctual, a product of natural selection in which strongly bonded pairs must have a greater likelihood of successfully raising young, thereby propagating the species. If the gene succeeds, the gene continues.</p>
<p>Sounds simple doesn’t it?</p>
<p>But it got me to thinking about the nature of bonding. And of course, that got me to thinking about dogs, and the nature of their bond to humans. While it has been proven that a duck will “imprint” on and follow a human if it is the first thing it sees after hatching, I think of “imprinting” and “bonding” as two different things.</p>
<p>Imprinting is a simple instinct stamped into the brain that dictates the duckling will follow its mother. She is likely to lead that duckling to sources of food and shelter. This increases the offspring’s chances of surviving infancy, reaching sexual maturity, mating, and propagating the species. Again, the gene succeeds, the gene continues.</p>
<p>But what is bonding?</p>
<p>I think of it as something more complex. Something more bound to social order. Instinctual? Probably. Still related to survival? Definitely. But still complex.</p>
<p>Dogs in the wild, since their earliest descendants, understand social order and collaborative hunting. A well ordered pack of wolves can successfully hunt, shelter, raise offspring, and pass on their genes. A pack suffering from social strife will not have clear leadership or collaboration, and will eventually die.</p>
<p>Dogs understand this on a genetic level. It is why a properly socialized dog understands how to communicate with other dogs using their species’ unique and understandable body language. It is why we, as dog trainers, are sometimes described as being able to “read” dogs. We’re simply recognizing attitude and thoughts, and yes, even emotions, by interpreting body language. And that is precisely what allows us to shape dog behavior by using our own body language to clearly show a dog what we want from them.</p>
<p>But why do dogs CARE about what we want from them? That is the question that has both mystified and thrilled me ever since I got my first dog at the age of 11. Why is a dog willing to be trained? Why do they thrive on it in fact? Why is a dog remotely interested in what we want from them?</p>
<p>A cow doesn’t much care. So we eat them. Most horses I have known and ridden will yield to humans, but they seem to me to prefer their own company to mine when given a choice. But because they yield to us, and helped us form our nation, as a culture, we’re horrified at the idea of eating them.</p>
<p>Wolves, I am told, are canids whose behavior can be somewhat modified by men. But they will generally return to behaviors for which they are genetically programmed, regardless of what training they have had.</p>
<p>So what is it about dogs? Why do they care about what we want? Why did my first dog remember and perform his utility signals exercise into his dotage, way after deafness, strokes and until shortly before he died at seventeen and a half?</p>
<p>His name was Gus. He was a Sheltie born April 29, 1969. He came to me in a dream several years ago and he spoke to me in words that did not come out of his mouth, but which I heard in my head. These are the exact words of the interchange. </p>
<p>“Where are you?” he asked, intense in his sadness. </p>
<p>“I’ll come to you one day,” I told him.</p>
<p>“But I have been waiting so long,” he said.</p>
<p>“Because it’s not my time yet,” I told him. “But I will come.”</p>
<p>He paused, but only briefly.</p>
<p>“I’ll wait for you,” he said.</p>
<p>“Find Bobbi and Frannie,” I said. “They are Greyhounds They are mine too, and they will know you. They will wait with you.”</p>
<p>“I will,” he said, and he left me slowly, reluctantly, at my bidding. I woke up crying, as I cry now recounting the experience.</p>
<p>I have always known that dogs care about us on the deepest possible levels but only recently did I put together my own concept of why. I think it was that dream of Gus. I told you he spoke to me in words. The words did not come from his mouth. They came from his mind into mine. But they had a voice. And that voice was my own.</p>
<p> My waiting dog spoke to me in my own voice. We love our dogs. But they adore us on a level beyond love. They are what we ask them to be, becoming part of us if we ask them to. I think Gus came to me that night, or perhaps my unconscious summoned him, because I was finally ready to understand the answer to my long held question.</p>
<p>Dogs care about what we want from them because, when led properly by man, they consider us to be more than their pack mates. We provide more than food, shelter and more than comfort. We provide dogs what the concept of God provides to us, a sense of meaning, comfort, a sense of purpose, a sense that we are not alone.</p>
<p>Dogs do not love us. They worship us. But not from afar. They live with their gods. They worship us from the foot of our beds, they adore us as they look at us, and they long for us even as we touch them.</p>
<p>Trained dogs submit and yield to this worship readily. It satisfies them on a level which humans with our questioning mentalities may not fully comprehend. The faith of a dog, particularly a trained dog, is absolute. He never questions or has a crisis of faith. He doesn’t believe. He knows.</p>
<p>Have you ever noticed that after putting a dog through even a basic course of obedience, other behaviors change for which you have not trained? If you do your work artfully, the dog gives up undesirable behaviors without even being commanded.</p>
<p>This occurs because the dog always knew his owner didn’t like the behaviors. After all, they grumped and yelled when he did it. He simply didn’t care. He felt no particular compulsion to give up a treasured behavior such as jumping on guests.</p>
<p>But when a dog is trained, he learns to look at his humans in a whole new way. He learns that the bond has more meaning that he ever knew before. He learns that he no longer has to make every decision for his life. It’s not satisfying to a dog to pull on the leash and be out of control. Yet, if that behavior is all he knows, he’ll do it over and over. I now see that behavior as a cry for help, the way the dog shows his profound need for leadership.</p>
<p>But once the dog has learned to yield his decision making to a human, a bond between dog and handler is formed that knows no limits of depth. So why do dogs care about what we want? Why are they willing to do what we ask of them if we can only show them clearly what we want? Why will they yield their willpower to ours?</p>
<p>They do it for the love of man. They do it because they love us more than they love themselves. </p>
<p>Is it genetic? The gene succeeds so the gene continues? Probably. But I think it’s more than that. I think the dog has a void that only we humans can fill. Even those of us who succeed the most with dogs don’t quite have the same love for dogs that they have for us. We can’t. We don’t have that gene. But we can understand and honor the dog’s need for leadership.</p>
<p>We can bring a dog to a place where his need for us is absolute yet doesn’t destabilize the independent nature of his being. Lest you take from my words the idea that I am a tree hugging dog spiritualist, I will tell you flat out that I am not. I am a dog trainer. I both correct and reward my dogs. That’s pretty much the way life treats me.</p>
<p>The ultimate reward for us both is a bond during the dog’s lifetime that exceeds any other comfort he can ever know. And after the dog’s death, he brings a form of comfort that some, like me, have not known before.</p>
<p>Someone is waiting. Someone who loves me more than he loves himself.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="J" class="cap"><span>J</span></span>ust as humans do, your dog may be in need of dog dental care. If your dog has typical bad doggie breath or if you notice a terrible smell when he breathes in your face, that may be a clue that your dog needs dental care.</p>
<p>It has only been recently that pet owners have been concerned with their pet’s dental health.  Now pet owners are learning it is important to keep their dog’s teeth and gums healthy. In the past it <span id="more-341"></span>was believed that nature would take care of the dog’s teeth naturally. That may have been true in the wild where dogs ate raw meat and chewed the bones of their kills, but in today’s society where dogs are subjected to ‘people food’ and many treats, the health issue of your dog’s dental health is more of a concern. </p>
<p>Commercial pet food companies have become aware of this problem and have introduced hard dog biscuits that help clean your dog’s teeth. Although that was only the beginning, it has since become well known that dogs may need help in the teeth cleaning and breath area.</p>
<p>Dog dental care is only one aspect of your overall pet’s health care. Dogs with healthy teeth and gums and healthy mouths, may tend to live longer and happier lives. Although having bad dental care may not necessarily decrease your pet’s overall life expectancy, it could cause him pain and discomfort and may even lead to him losing one or several teeth.  Having dental problems may also cause a serious infection in the mouth which in turn may lead to heart and kidney disease.</p>
<p>As in humans, a dog with a healthy mouth will have better smelling breath. Bad breath can be a sign that the dog may be having trouble in his mouth. Chances are that you may not even notice unless there is a really serious problem. A clue to your dog having trouble with his teeth may be if you find that he cannot chew on one side. This may be caused by him being in pain.  You may also notice that he isn’t eating because he is in so much pain. Both of these cases could be a sign that your dog has a toothache or some other kind of infection in his mouth.</p>
<p>Bad breath is caused by the plaque and tartar that builds up on your pet’s teeth. If the plaque and tartar are not removed from the teeth an infection in the mouth can occur. To avoid the bacteria that can cause gum disease in your dog, get your vet to remove the plaque and tarter that has been built up on your pet’s teeth.</p>
<p>Dogs can also get cavities in their teeth. Vets today have noted that there has been a rise in dog cavities, probably due to more of the sugary dog treats available on the market. Check the labels of the dog treats you buy to help reduce this threat. And, only feed your dog treats that are especially made for dogs.</p>
<p>If you are worried about your dog’s dental health, it is a good idea to brush your dog’s teeth regularly. Starting a dog dental care program when your pet is young should help to prevent dental health problems and will help solve the problem of getting your dog to submit to regular teeth brushing. It is a good idea to try to brush your dog’s teeth daily, but even brushing ever other day will help keep the plaque build-up under control.</p>
<p>You can get toothbrushes and toothpaste made especially for dogs. It is important to use toothpaste formulated especially for dogs because human toothpaste can upset your pet’s stomach. Also, toothpaste made for dogs will have a more pleasing flavor for him. Pet toothbrushes are softer than human ones, shaped slightly differently and are generally smaller. You can also use sponge cleaners instead of a toothbrush, which consist of small sponges attached to a handle. You can generally obtain these items through your veterinarian or at pet stores.</p>
<p>Another area of dental care for dogs includes crooked teeth.  You may find it necessary for some dogs to get braces on their teeth. Some dog breeds typically have problems in this area and need their teeth straightened enough so that their mouth opens and closes correctly. It may be necessary for your dog to get orthodontic work done on a few teeth or even have a full set of braces. Consult your vet if you feel this may be a problem area for your dog.</p>
<p>Dog dental care should be part of your dog’s regular health check-ups to discover any problems that may be occurring.  If your dog has poor dental health it can impact how he enjoys life, and even how long he lives.  Be pro-active and start your dog on a dental health routine early.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>ome of the reasons you may be considering starting your own doggie day care business are because you love dogs and want to be in business for yourself. Or maybe you want to take more control over your own life and are simply sick and tired of the corporate world. </p>
<p>While these are perfectly good reasons to consider this business, it&#8217;s important to take a realistic look at the rewards as well as the challenges of starting <span id="more-337"></span>a doggie day care business and what you should look at to determine if you have the &#8220;right stuff&#8221;. </p>
<p>GROWTH AREA<br />
First, let me say that focusing on the doggie day care business is a smart choice since the shifting demographics in the United States show lots of promise for this type of a service. </p>
<p>The typical client is two adults who both work and have no children. These two-income &#8220;families&#8221; have, in effect, made the dog the child of the family and are quite willing to pay for their pet&#8217;s happiness and wellbeing. These types of owners know that a happy dog is a tired dog and understand the pitfalls of leaving their dogs home alone all day while the&#8217;re away at work. </p>
<p>With 38% of all households owning at least one dog, this positive trend of more dogs and less time bodes well for the industry. </p>
<p>WHO IS SUCCESSFUL IN THIS BUSINESS?<br />
People in the doggie daycare business come from a wide variety of backgrounds. What they all share is a love of dogs, a desire to run their own business, are self-motivated and have good people skills. While dogs will be your focus during the day, keeping the person on the other end of the leash happy is just as important. No dog has ever been known to write a check! </p>
<p>It&#8217;s also important to understand that owning and operating a doggie day care business requires long hours and lot&#8217;s of hard work. Since most people drop off their pets on the way to work and pick them up on the way home, you, or someone on your staff, will need to be there when your first customer arrives until the last one goes home. 6am &#8211; 8pm days are not uncommon. </p>
<p>HOW MUCH CAPITOL WILL YOU NEED TO GET STARTED<br />
How much will it cost to create a doggie day care facility and get it up and running? Well, a lot depends on how many improvements you plan on making to your space. Extensive build-outs will cost more while a medium amount of modifications will cost less. </p>
<p>According to a cross section of active doggie day care business owners interviewed on the Doggie Day Care Business DVD, some have opened their businesses for as little as $10 &#8211; $15,000 while some spent as much as $100,000. According to information provided by the American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA) a non-profit trade association, 50% of doggie day care owners spent $50,000 or less in start-up capital, while 24% spent $25,000 or less. </p>
<p>What they all agree upon, however, is the importance of having at least 6 months of working capital to keep you afloat until the business begins to catch hold. </p>
<p>BIGGEST MISTAKES<br />
Probably the biggest mistakes that new doggie day care business owners can make is starting too big with too many dogs. Other pitfalls include taking in inappropriate dogs (unneutered males, aggressive dogs, dogs that are too shy, etc) and not training the staff properly to anticipate problems before they occur. </p>
<p>Most successful doggie day care business start small, establishing procedures and systems that they know are successful, and then gradually expand by adding more dogs per day. </p>
<p>Joining an association like the American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA) will also help connect you with other doggie daycare owners and can assist you in acquiring group liability insurance as well as providing ongoing education and promotional opportunities.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he word &#8216;vital&#8217; has its roots in the Latin word for life. That gives us a clue to why dog training is so important, both for owner and dog &#8211; it enhances the quality of life for each.</p>
<p>Though dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, they still have much of the wild in their natures.</p>
<p>They adapt well to home life, but they are still dogs, not furry small children. Training helps maximize peace a<span id="more-326"></span>nd security for both the dog and the family.</p>
<p>Dogs are by nature hunters and therefore are inclined to chase things. Young dogs especially are prone to take off after another animal, a car or a child.</p>
<p>Any of these scenarios can result in harm to your companion, a person or property. Training a dog early on to listen to voice commands from everyone in the family lessens the odds of bad consequences.</p>
<p>Teach your dog to obey &#8216;halt&#8217; or &#8217;stop&#8217;, then &#8216;come&#8217; and you&#8217;ll be much less likely to have accidents as the dog responds to his sudden surge of emotion.</p>
<p>At first, it might be necessary to use a leash so that you can physically jerk the dog sideways at the same time you issue the command.</p>
<p>Try to avoid jerking backward against the dog&#8217;s throat. Then, as they associate the command with the physical action, they will come to obey by voice alone.</p>
<p>Techniques like that help ensure the security of other animals and people, but also that of your own dog as well.</p>
<p>Many dogs will race after another who, in fact, can do them great harm.</p>
<p>Their emotions take control &#8211; as when the other dog has entered his &#8216;territory&#8217; &#8211; and they don&#8217;t judge, as we might, whether they have any chance of chasing the animal away. They simply react.</p>
<p>But the importance of training your dog goes well beyond the very basic level of safety and security, or the avoidance of physical harm and property damage. Dogs are by nature pack animals.</p>
<p>They recognize a social hierarchy that is established very early in life. You must be at the top of that hierarchy, for the sake of your own sanity and that of your dog.</p>
<p>Some dogs will naturally try to take the so-called alpha role. That has evolutionary advantages when they live in the wild.</p>
<p>But in a domesticated situation you have the greater ability to forecast consequences. You and your dog will be better adjusted if you never let even the most assertive dog be your master.</p>
<p>Peace of mind comes from teaching your dog that, no matter how treasured they are, you are at the top of the heap.</p>
<p>That means they must come when you say so, stay when you command and do as you wish. Among adult humans, that sort of behavior is very dictatorial and many are reluctant to assert themselves that way. When dealing with your dog, it&#8217;s essential.</p>
<p>Being the leader of the pack gives the dog a sense of its place in the group.</p>
<p>It can follow your lead, secure in the knowledge that you will keep it safe from harm and well-fed. You&#8217;re acting like the alpha dog would. Training is the only way to bring that about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a02.yimg.com/nimage/15f504054bbd6888" width="250" height="180" alt="7 Tips On How To Get Your Kids To Look After Your New Dog"></div>
<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>f you have a child, you&#8217;ve probably heard those familiar words, &#8220;Can we keep him?&#8221; Dog&#8217;s aren&#8217;t just a man&#8217;s best friend anymore; they&#8217;ve become the whole family&#8217;s friend. If you&#8217;re like any typical family, the children will probably spend the most time with your new dog. This is why it&#8217;s very important you teach your child how to take care of him.</p>
<p>Here are a few dog rules to teach them:</p>
<p>1. Make sure y<span id="more-351"></span>ou remember to feed the dog and give him fresh water each day. Explain that dogs, especially puppies, need nutrition each day for energy and proper growth.</p>
<p>If you have an outside dog, it&#8217;s especially important that his water dish is changed everyday. Standing water is a breeding place for mosquitoes. Also dirt can get flung into their dish.</p>
<p>It is equally important for small children to be supervised when dealing with this type of responsibility. Sometimes smaller children can be too eager to help.</p>
<p>Explain to your children why we don&#8217;t feed dog&#8217;s certain foods such as sweets. Dog food is made to meet their dog&#8217;s nutritional needs and sweets can make their dog sick.</p>
<p>2. Being N-I-C-E to your dog is another lesson to teach children. Younger children, particularly under the age of four, have a tendency to be rough with animals.</p>
<p>Pulling tails and ears just comes naturally with their curiosity. With a new dog, you may not know his temperament very well or how he may react to your child&#8217;s curiosity. Lead by example.</p>
<p>Show your child how to be kind to animals. Show them how to gently pet them on the head or back and that hitting or pulling can hurt the dog.</p>
<p>3. Teach your child about the importance of exercise with the family dog. In order for the dog to stay healthy he must move around and play.</p>
<p>If the dog is not overpowering, let your child walk the dog with a leash. Another fun activity for exercise is fetch. Let your child throw a ball or stick for the pet to chase. This is lots of fun for both participants.</p>
<p>4. If you have a rambunctious puppy, make sure your child doesn&#8217;t leave things lying around. Puppies love to chew on whatever they can sink their teeth into. If they see your daughter&#8217;s favorite dolly on the floor, or your son&#8217;s tennis shoe, the puppy will show no reserve.</p>
<p>They will usually dive right in. Tell your child that your puppy is too young to understand, and that until he gets older, be extra careful about leaving things lying around.</p>
<p>5. Keep bathroom doors shut. Dogs are notorious for drinking from the toilet bowl. If you can help it, reduce the temptation for him, by teaching your child to keep bathroom doors shut.</p>
<p>6. If you have an indoor dog then he&#8217;s got to have potty breaks outside. Keep a schedule of bathroom breaks for your dog. This is one of the not so fun parts of taking care of a new pet.</p>
<p>Remind your child that if the new dog doesn&#8217;t keep to the scheduled potty breaks that he may find a place in the house. In training a new dog to use the bathroom outside, the scheduled times must be strictly kept.</p>
<p>7. Make a chart. If you child is having problems remembering to feed the pet or take it out for breaks, it would be a great idea to make a chart of things to do each day. Let your child mark a check when the chore has been completed. The more he completes the chore, the easier it will be to remember.</p>
<p>Children don&#8217;t always see the bigger picture of taking care of a new dog, but with our guidance, they will no doubt become good little pet owners.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to applaud your child when he takes on responsibility and follows through with it. This will give them confidence to mature and take on more responsibility as they get older.</p>
<p>Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. Teach your kids that just as they have to be taken care of by parents, their pet has to be taken care of as well. Our pets depend on us everyday.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he number of animal lovers is increasing all around the world.

Dogs are most popular among the pets these days. For many reason dogs became an integral part of today’s society.</p>
<p>Dog owners should have a good knowledge about what ingredients to use in a dog<span id="more-344"></span> food. Sometime they unconsciously create health problem for dogs by feeding them unhealthy foods. Before feeding different types of food to dogs; owners should look the ingredients of those foods. Also they have to remember every dog does not need same kind of food. Some dogs have allergies with specific foods. Dogs food can be both vegetarian and non vegetarian. In both kind of food, mixture of proper ingredients is essential.</p>
<p>Dog owners have to provide the necessary ingredient in the dog food for their growth. Important minerals like zinc help grow calcium. Some essential vitamins like A, B, D, E should provide in dogs food. Also have to keep in mind that at different ages dogs need different kinds of food. Like an adult dog require meat, egg while the puppies need milk. Male and female dogs also require different kind of food. Especially during the pregnancy female dogs need to feed properly.</p>
<p>Dog’s health must be monitored periodically. There are signs of illness for the dogs. Like excessive vomiting, continuous nasal discharge, passes loose stool for several times or too much barking. Then there is a high possibility that dog’s health is not well enough.</p>
<p>Owning a dog put some additional responsibility to us. Proper care is essential for them. Feeding them proper food is one of the basic requirements. Owners need to be more aware and conscious about dog’s diet.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="D" class="cap"><span>D</span></span>iabetes is a silent killer. Slowly, it can take the life out of your pet. This disease may not show any outward symptoms, which actually makes it deadlier.</p>
<p>Most dog owners don&#8217;t know that their pet is suffering from this disease until it is too late. Dogs with diabetes should be cared for accordingly for their condition not to exacerbate.<br />
Just follow the guidelines below and your dog will be in the pink of he<span id="more-343"></span>alth at all times despite its present condition.</p>
<p>1. Visit the vet regularly.</p>
<p>Once your dog has diabetes, it would require regular appointments with the doctor. The vet would diagnose the present condition of your pet and would provide it with the right medications. It is very important that your pet&#8217;s health is monitored as frequently as needed because its condition may change from good to worse without you knowing about it.</p>
<p>2. Give your dog its medicines.</p>
<p>The vet would give your dog the necessary medications it needs to manage its disease. It is best that you follow all the vet&#8217;s instructions from dosage to the frequency of shots. Dogs suffering from advanced cases of diabetes may require regular insulin shots in order to experience immediate relief from their condition. You would have to give the shots yourself so make sure that you do it well.</p>
<p>3. Give your dog regular exercises.</p>
<p>Exercise is very important for dogs with diabetes. Take your dog out for a walk more frequently this time around. Doing so would allow the dog to manage its insulin levels and keep it active. It is possible that your dog would experience lowered energy after the walks. This is one of the effects of diabetes. To counter this, try to you can give your pet healthy honey or anything that the vet recommends.</p>
<p>4. Provide your dog with a high fiber diet.</p>
<p>More than anything else, your dog needs added nutrients in the food that it eats. Dogs with diabetes need a fiber-rich, low fat, and high carbohydrate diet. It may also be necessary for you to change your dog&#8217;s feeding schedule for it to correlate with its shots. The quantity of food you should give your pet must be monitored closely as well. Let the veterinarian guide you accordingly so you&#8217;ll know which foods to give and which foods to avoid.</p>
<p>5. Give your dog some vitamin supplements.</p>
<p>Most dogs with diabetes have problems meeting their nutritional requirements for the day. If this is your biggest problem with your pet, it is best that you give your pet some helpful supplements that can help improve its health. You may have to give your pet Vitamin A, B, and C. Regular intake of the mineral Chromium would help a lot as well.</p>
<p>Dogs with diabetes can still live a normal life. It is but a matter of managing the disease well. Pet owners should be very wary that their pet&#8217;s condition may worsen anytime soon so they have to do everything that it takes to make sure that their dog is living as comfortably as possible. Work closely with the veterinarian and your dog will continue to live a happy and a contented life with you.</p>

<p class="first-child "><span title="D" class="cap"><span>D</span></span>ogs that are considered hypoallergenic may cause fewer allergic reactions in people who own them other breeds. There are many breeds of long hair, short hair, and hairless varieties to choose from depending on your particular allergies and what you are looking for in a dog. Hypoallergenic dogs are sold mostly by breeders, but you can also find them in pet stores and sometimes in animal shelters. If you decide to buy a hypoaller<span id="more-350"></span>genic dog, there are ways to care for them that may require a little more work than non-hypoallergenic breeds. </p>
<p>Caring for your hypoallergenic dog begins with caring for their coat. While many hypoallergenic breeds such as Terriers, Schnauzers, and Poodles have short hair, this hair can be coarse and will continue to grow unless the dogs are properly groomed. These dogs do not shed and have hair that can be compared to human hair. You will have to keep your dog groomed in order to prevent matting. Matting can cause skin rashes and other health problems if the dog&#8217;s coat is not taken care of. </p>
<p>Brushing your dog is also important especially in breeds that have longer hair such as the Afghan Hound. While these dogs are considered hypoallergenic, their coats are long and shiny. They do not shed either, so brushing and grooming are important. Brush your dog at least twice a week to keep excess hair from building up. </p>
<p>Some hypoallergenic dogs have undercoats, while others do not. Undercoats protect dogs from cold temperatures by storing body heat. Dogs that do not have an undercoat will not survive long in cold temperatures. Unless a breeder says you can keep your dog outside, you should keep the dog indoors. </p>
<p>If you have a hairless dog, you will have to protect their skin with lotions and skin creams. You should not leave these dogs outside for long periods of time as they will suffer from sun burn and dehydration. </p>
<p>Caring for your dog is not only making sure their coat and skin are protected, it also means making sure that they get enough exercise and time with you each day. Dogs that are left alone for long periods of time can become destructive. Training your dog by developing a routine will help them adjust to the times when you cannot be at home. If you will be out of town for more than two or three days, you should find a friend that can check in on your dog or you should consider boarding the dog until you come home. </p>
<p>Protecting your hypoallergenic dog from cold temperatures, the sun, and from developing skin rashes are ways that you can help your dog live a long, healthy life. Because many breeds of hypoallergenic dogs are small in size, they are prone to arthritis, eyesight issues, tumors, and other problems. While you cannot predict how your dog will age, you should research different breeds to see what types of health issues they may have some day. Regular checkups with a vet will help your dog live a long life.</p>

Is this a good or bad idea? I would like to stick to small-med breeds because that is what my dogs are. I will be living in a busy city near Seattle, hope that there would be a demand for this service<br />

<p class="first-child "><span title="W" class="cap"><span>W</span></span>hen it comes to Goldendoodles, they are a dog that is now the most loved, adored and also the most misunderstood canine of all. For instance, did you know that there are 701 pure breed dogs and that the Border collie, Poodle and Golden retriever are claimed to be the smartest of dogs? I do not know why just these three breeds were listed because I am sure there are other smart breeds of dogs out there and the person behind the poll definitly didn&#8217;t include the Goldendoodle! Fact 1: The Goldendoodle dog is highly intelligent.</p>
<p>Goldendoodle dogs also have a superior sense of hearing and smell, but of course when it comes to documented evidence, the bloodhound is so trustworthy that it is the only dog whose evidence is admissible even in court of law in the United States! There are alot of Goldendoodle as well as other dog facts are very interesting. For instance, it is claimed that the Great Dane is the tallest of all dogs, while the Chihuahua is the smallest dog of all. But are they really? As a breeder of Goldendoodles since 1999, I know for a fact that one Goldendoodle we created some years ago turned into a 150 pound &#8220;small pony&#8221; ! And while it is claimed that the Chihuahua is the smallest dog, we own a tcup sized LhasaPoo (a different type of hybrid dog) who weighs three pounds or less and I&#8217;ve heard of some tcup Yorkies as well as Tcup Poodles weighing even less!</p>
<p>Goldendoodle dogs are usually very attached to their families. Some are even heroically so. Goldendoodles can even take care of their invalid or handicapped family members on a daily basis, if properly trained. Over the years, we&#8217;ve had some of our past customers train their Goldendoodle dogs as therapy dogs or assist dogs. Many rescue organizations and policing organizations use Golden Retrievers as well as other types of dogs as a part of their regular team. Some Golden Retrievers are used as narcotic dogs. While it is doubtful that a Goldendoodle can be used as a guard dog, I see no reason why they could not be trained as hunters, draught animals, drug and explosive detectors, and even as a dog who seeks out weapons.</p>
<p>In the Middle Ages, dogs wore spiky light armors and ran into the battle grounds to attack mounted knights. The Rottweiler was one such breed used in medieval battles. The German Shepherd dog has been used in the field with every day soldiers for many centuries. There are many fun facts regarding all dog types, but the Goldendoodle dog has not been around long enough to have a lot of facts written about them. The Goldendoodle dog was first known as a &#8220;Goldendoodle&#8221; sometime around 1997. This hybrid was first created by the Australians who were looking for a low shedding, low dander assist dog for those who had allergies. Goldendoodles in Australia are used for other purposes and make wonderful family pets for children of all ages. There are only three coat types for the Goldendoodle dog.</p>
<p>1. Shaggy.<br />2. Curly.<br />3. Smooth.</p>
<p>The Goldendoodle does not have any rare colors and actually can have markings anywhere on its body, of any color. The Goldendoodle dog also can have various eye colors such as brown, blue, green or multi colors. Since beginning our Goldendoodles in 1999, we have seen some Goldendoodles born with one green eye and one blue eyes or one brown eye and one blue eye. In 2010 we hope to create Duetche Kurzharr Doodles which is a German Shorthaired Pointer mixed with a Goldendoodle. Since we do have a sire with blue eyes and our German Shorthaired Pointer has lovely amber colored eyes and multiple freckles, we hope that we will see offspring coming out with not just lovely light colored eyes, but with spots and freckles. The German Shorthaired Pointer is extremely intelligent! Our own girl, Merry-Belle, is fascinated with squeeky toys and carries them all over the house. She loves to have someone hold a ball up in the air and anxiously awaits it to be tossed in her direction so that she can jump high up in the air to catch it.</p>
<p>Before purchasing any type of dog, you should attempt to learn all the important facts that pertain to the breed you wish to own. Many families make the mistake and hurry up to get a dog because their children have been insisting on having one. Many parents buckle under pressure. But the problem is, people who purchase a Goldendoodle under the assumption of knowing the facts, find out that the dog isn&#8217;t for them. Sure enough, after the dog arrives home and the initial excitement has quieted down, the chore of actually taking care of the dog and molding its character begins. This is when the honeymoon is over and when most families realize that their Goldendoodle is really a bundle of work, like all dogs!</p>
<p>Children find out that the dog can&#8217;t just let itself out to use the bathroom and many will gripe about having to constantly take their new dog out for bathroom breaks. Most of the chores of caring for a Goldendoodle or any dog for that matter usually falls to the parents after a few days. A puppy is cuddly and sweet until it poops or pees on the floor or has to be supervised at all times or when it howls and howls for attention from its human family. The Goldendoodle dog has become the most popular of hybrids because other dogs with long and short hair, shed profusely. Many people who buy a Goldendoodle are told by their breeder that the dog doesn&#8217;t EVER shed and that they are &#8220;hypoallergenic&#8221;. Imagine the family&#8217;s horror when they realize that indeed their Goldendoodle dog sheds and not only does it shed, but it needs constant, regular care! This is just one example of how some doodle breeders try and use the &#8220;non shedding&#8221;, &#8220;Hypoallergenic&#8221; key words to bring in a customer. An inexperienced breeder can lead someone to buy a Goldendoodle dog for the wrong reasons. Since 1999, we as breeders have watched the Goldendoodle hybrid go through 10-15 different coat changes. We know for a fact that the Goldendoodle dog does indeed shed. BUT, they shed like no other dog we&#8217;ve ever seen.</p>
<p>The Goldendoodle will lose a strand or two of hairs and not gobs of hair or clumps of hair. Unless your Goldendoodle has a hormonal imbalance, his or her coat is not going to just completely fall out. Unlike a dog with a double coat, the Goldendoodle dog has a single coat and sheds very, very little. As the Goldendoodle dog changes from a puppy to an adult, there will be coat changes and you may see its coat do the most shedding during this &#8220;growing up&#8221; phase. When the Goldendoodle dog turns a year of age, their owners will see the least shedding.</p>
<p>Goldendoodle facts become very important if you really want to understand your doodle. Knowing as much about your doodle dog will also help you with training. Some dogs are quick to learn, while others need more time. Regardless of breed, dogs are individuals and training needs to be specifically geared toward the individual dog itself and not by breed type or generalization. Just as human have their own unique way of responding to learning things, dogs are the same way. They are individuals just like we humans are. Most dogs respond well to rewards and praise, while a few breeds need firm commands and rigorous discipline. Goldendoodles do not learn well with negative training. Positive reinforcement works very well for getting your Goldendoodle to comply and respond to training commands. Some dogs like the Dalmatian, need a lot of exercise and are not very suitable to small living quarters, while others like the Poodle have a lot of grooming requirements. Shaggy and curly coat Goldendoodles have a high grooming requirement. All Goldendoodles, regardless of size, would do well indoors so long as he or she is taken for daily walks. Goldendoodles enjoy being where ever their human family members are. They are happy to run beside you if you are jogging or on your bicycle and they are just as happy to sleep at your feet if you are sitting down watching television. Goldendoodle dogs are snugglers. They usually are not independant dogs. They can become lonely if left for long periods of time without human companionship. Depending upon coat type, some Goldendoodles can tend to be barkers or high drive. It has been our own experience that the shaggy coat and smooth coat Goldendoodle has the best temperaments of all three coat types. The curly coat Goldendoodle can tend to pick up some of the quirkly traits of the Poodle. Those experienced with the Golden Retriever will want to stick with either the shaggy coat or the smooth coat Goldendoodle. Those experienced with the Poodle will want to stick with the curly coat Goldendoodle.</p>
<p>Many people believe that certain dogs inherit certain disorders like hip dysplasia and cataract based on breed type. Many people believe that some breeds are prone to getting fat if they are not exercised regularly. Genetic ailments can happen to any type of dog regardless of their breed and all dogs can become fat and lazy if they are over-fed and are lacking in exercise. Dogs who are inbred or backbred or come from a genetic bottle neck (lacking in a wide genetic gene pool) will be at a higher risk for having genetic ailments. Age also plays a direct role with health issues in dogs. It is not known why some dogs die from health issues and others can go through their entire lives not ever having a health issue. Just as people die from various types of health issues or just simply pass away in their sleep, dogs are very similar in this way. Goldendoodles who come from a first generation breeding seem to be the hardiest of dogs. Goldendoodles can be a long lived dog under ideal circumstances just as the Poodle is the longest lived dog of all dogs.</p>
<p>One of the most important dog facts most overlooked by many is that every purebred has been originally created with a particular purpose in mind. While the Lhasa Apso was originally created as a palace guard dog, the Poodle was used for multiple purposes such as retrieving, swimming and just being a companion. The German Shorthaired Pointer makes a wonderful gun dog and many Rottweilers and German Shepherds or Doberman Pinschers make excellent guard dogs. Depending upon the history and lineage of your Goldendoodle, he or she may have a wonderful compilation of traits that would be suited for multiple tasks or would simply just make a wonderful house pet.</p>
<p>If you expect a breed of dog to completely forfeit its inherent tendencies and don a new mantle, you are asking for trouble. Never expect a Goldendoodle to guard you or your possessions and don&#8217;t be surprised if your Pit Bull bristles with anger and ultimately attacks a stranger. Some traits are deeply rooted and instilled in particular breed types. With our own Goldendoodles, we do know that their lineage holds multiple companion dogs, Utility dogs, show dogs, Master Hunters as well as having a deeply rooted love for playing in the water. Training your Goldendoodle or entering them into obedience classes can help you to bring some discipline to your doodle as well as even enhance their natural tendencies. Training does not replace them.</p>
<p>Anyone deciding to purchase a shaggy or curly coat Goldendoodle must also need to learn basics in grooming unless you are going to have someone else groom the doodle. Being knowledgeable about the Goldendoodle will help you become a better doodle owner. Goldendoodles can participate in fun competition dog trials, even fun dog shows. Their are other important dog facts which also include a need to know such information like neutering, spaying, vaccinating and de-worming your doodle at regular intervals. You will want to have your vet place your Goldendoodle on a vaccination and deworming schedule and let your vet get to know your dog. It is also very important to know that owning a Goldendoodle as with any other type of dog can be expensive. Know before you buy, that you can afford the upkeep that your doodle will require.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, knowing your doodle facts will help you, the new doodle owner, to truly appreciate your Goldendoodle&#8217;s uniqueness and will allow your doodle to happily spend its entire life with you.</p>
