Doggy Stomach Issues
It’s not unusual for dogs to have occasional bouts with diarrhea or constipation that get better on there own. If your dog has ongoing episodes or it you see blood in his stool, consult your veterinarian right away! Michael Leed, a professor of small animal internal medicine at the Virginia, Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine says that your pet can be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. It could also be because of the dog food he’s eating. He also mentions that this can be quite serious requiring hospitalization and fluid therapy. Stress and bad eating habits can be associated with this syndrome but these aren’t the only causes. Your veterinarian will run a series of tests to determine exactly what’s wrong and come up with an appropriate treatment solution.Your vet may also recommend a change of diet that includes wellness pet food.He may also recommend pet supplements. In the meantime, if your dog is suddenly having “accidents,” never yell or punish him. Just keep using the pet odor remover and get him to the vet right away!

Tips on Dog Toys
Not all dog treats and dog toys are safe for your dog. There’s a debate on whether or not you should give your dog rawhide to chew. I did once in awhile but didn’t make it a steady diet. Dog chews are a better choice. Your vet can tell you which ones are best.
Here are some things to avoid when it comes to dog toys
• Avoid the following!
- balls with single air holes, which can create a deadly suction trap;
- sticks and stones;
- heavily dyed toys;
- toys treated with fire retardants or stain guard;
- soft plastics.
• Always supervise your dog’s play time.
• Choose toys to fit your dog’s size and avoid those he can work to the back of his mouth.
• Select toys that match your dog’s play style.
• Keep a variety of dog toy types on hand; rotate to spark your dog’s interest.
• Don’t use toys as a substitute for interaction.
