A dog’s life is never dull… even if you are lounging around. As a senior dog I like to rest up and then power through my Sunday. The hardwood floors are a nice cool place to chill out in the summer.
Things To Consider When Boarding Your Dog Before A Vacation
When you and your family go on vacation, you need to find a place for your dog to stay while you’re gone. Unless you have a normal boarding facility in which your board your dog, you’ll should prepare a few questions to ask prospective facilities. Leaving your dog behind without doing a bit of due diligence is asking for trouble (for you and your dog). Here are 4 critical questions you need to ask before boarding your dog.
Dogs are very curious animals and as omnivores and natural scavengers, can get into and eat just about anything. However, there are many toxic substances found in your home that could potentially kill your dog. The following is a list of ten common household substances that you should make sure to keep out of your dog’s reach.
1) Antifreeze: Many people do not realize it, but common antifreeze kills many pets each year. It smells and tastes very sweet to your dog and is very appealing to him. Ethylene glycol is toxic however, and each winter, many animals are killed by it. Symptoms of toxicity include seizures, vomiting, stumbling and lethargy leading to kidney failure. Make sure to keep your antifreeze out of your dog’s reach. If you suspect that your dog has ingested antifreeze, take your dog to the veterinarian immediately.
I received this email from Wayne Pacelle, author of A Humane Nation (the United States Humane Society (USHS) blog) and CEO of the USHS. Wayne distributed this informative email after Oprah Winfrey last week featured an expose on the horrible puppy mill industry (and problem) across the United States. Her broadcast reached millions across the country, undoubtedly encouraging thousands of people into action.
Wanye released this email to newsletter members on Seven Things You Can Do to Stop Puppy Mills after Oprah’s show aired.
