When you choose a shampoo for your dog, have you noticed the vast range of different bottles, colours and smells? The marketing companies know that when you choose a shampoo for your dog, you’re showing how much you care and they really go to town with every marketing ploy under the sun.

Here’s our top tips: Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t often get scared by dogs, but this is one crazy, scary looking fiend and his mate doesn’t look much better! Was he just posing for the camera or did his owner tell him it’s time to brush his teeth?

I never realised bees were so popular! And if you can’t have your own bee, why not dress your dog as one… a natural conclusion I’m sure. Take a look, but bee warned, there’s loads of ‘em, un-bee-lievable! (sorry, couldn’t resist)

Meet Hercules, the current Guinness Book of Records world record holder for the biggest dog in the world. You’d be forgiven for mistaking him for a horse – thanks to And Now For Something for the photo.
Hercules is an English Mastiff, weighs a massive 282 pounds with a 38 inch neck and here he is pictured with his owner (270 lbs in case you’re wondering). Did you read our earlier post on Dog and Owner Lookalikes?
Believe it or not, Hercules doesn’t hold the record for the biggest dog in the world ever! That record was held by another English Mastiff called Zorba, who in 1989 weighed in at an amazing 343 lbs!

To many people, their dog is a member of the family and as good as people. You’ve heard the phrase, “The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog”? Well, that’s my opinion too. What’s good enough for people is good enough for their dogs, so we already have enough dog food to open a pet supermarket, dog clothes, dog accessories, etc.
With all the recent publicity about the lack of human blood donors in the UK, is it really so surprising then that we now have a dog blood donor list? Read the rest of this entry »

Keeping a dog’s teeth clean is vital, otherwise, he can end up with gum disease, teeth loss and mouth pain.
As your dog gets older, your vet is likely to recommend an annual vet teeth clean with the dog’s annual booster injection, but you need to help keep them clean in between.
The younger you start, the easier it is for your dog to learn to allow you to clean his teeth. If you have an older dog, especially if you haven’t had him since a puppy, then be careful the first few times until he gets used to it. Always use short brushes to start with. If he coughs or splutters Read the rest of this entry »

Chocolate intended for human consumption (not the special doggie chocolate) is poisonous to dogs. People have told me they give their dogs the odd chunk of chocolate and it does them no harm but that’s like saying you drank a teaspoon of bleach and it did you no harm.
There is a chemical compound contained in chocolate called theobromine and it is this which is harmful to pets, including cats, dogs, horses and more. Theobromine belongs to the same family as caffeine and most animals metabolise it very slowly so it can damage their heart, liver and other internal organs. The higher the cocoa content of the chocolate, the more dangerous it can be.
So what if your dog has accidentally eaten some chocolate? Maybe you left an open bar of chocolate on the table and your dog jumped up and ate it. We need to know what signs to look for and how much they can stand. Read the rest of this entry »
