The best way to describe Kennel Cough is an aggravating, honking cough. It’s a highly contagious disease that is contracted in kennels, dog shows and even boarding during vacations. It can be spread through any crowded conditions where there are many dogs including dog parks. Untreated Kennel Cough can develop into pneumonia which can be deadly for puppies. I would recommend that if you just adopted a puppy, read more about Kennel Cough and learn about how it’s transmitted, treated and prevented. It can happen to any puppy.

When you bring home a new puppy, you’ll want to have a few essential items on hand. Formulated puppy food is a must. A tip proof food and water bowl is also recommended. Puppyies are a bit clumsy and instead of wiping up the floor all the time and refilling the water bowl. it’s a good idea to get a bowl that will not tip over that easily. An adjustable cloth or nylon collar is also very important along with a dog leash for all of those walks that you’ll be taking. A dog crate or carrier that is roomy is also a must have because your pup will sleep a lot at first. Don’t forget to get an ID tag and put it on his collar in case he wanders off. Other items that come in very handy include training pads, grooming supplies and toys for chasing and for chewing. Your energetic pup will need things to keep him occupied when your away or at work.

One of the most difficult things in life is to lose someone we love and this includes our pets. Most of us don’t think of our pets passing and don’t know the process and cost of having our precious pet cremated.

Petcosthelper.com has put together a comprehensive guideline that outlines the costs and as well as the cremation process.

Pet Cremation Cost
How Much Does Pet Cremation Cost?

Many pet owners choose cremation because it is an affordable option that allows them to keep the remains or scatter them in a chosen location. Burial at a pet cemetery is more expensive, and some local governments have laws against burying a pet on private property.
Typical costs:

Pet cremation typically costs between $55 and $100 for small animals such as birds, rabbits and ferrets — as well as puppies and kittens.
Pet cremation typically costs between $100 and $150 for cats, as well as dogs up to 50 pounds, with toy and miniature dogs falling at the lower end of the range and mid-sized dogs at the higher end.
Pet cremation typically costs between $150 and $350 for dogs between 50 and 120 pounds and up, with very large dogs falling at the high end.

What should be included:
Pet cremation services often have someone on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
After you call, the company often will pick up the pet from the home or veterinary clinic and deliver it to the facility. A staff member then tags the pet with an identification number, and cremates the animal in a special furnace that reduces the body to sand-like particles.
The facility places the ashes either in a sealed bag or a tin or cardboard box, then either holds them for pick-up or delivers them to the owner.
Some pet cemeteries that also do cremation offer free pet bereavement support groups.
Additional costs:
Some crematories charge an added fee of about $45 to pick-up the body after hours and on weekends.
Some crematories allow the pet owner to view the cremation, sometimes for an added fee of about $25 or more.
Urns to hold the ashes typically cost $50 to $150 for a classic bronze, brass or enamel vase, depending on size, but can run as high as $1,000 for a large wax-cast urn in an elaborate shape. Experts recommend choosing urn size based on the pet’s pre-cremation body weight, with one cubic inch of space per pound. AngelAshes.com[1] offers urns, as does PerfectMemorials.com[2] .
An engraved nameplate for the urn can cost about $10 to $25.

Many people choose to adopt a shy or timid dog because they may be calmer and easier to handle than a more active, hyper breed.  What should you do if your timid dog gets loose or lost?  You may want to proceed a little differently than if your dog was more active. Here are some tips.

1. Call the rescue organization from where you adopted the dog. In some cases, they may send someone out to help locate the dog since the dog may be bonded which can help.
2. Contact your locate animal shelter and animal hospitals and inform them that the dog is missing. Local shelters have experience in setting up methods to locate your dog.
3. Call your dogs name if you think you see him. Never chase a dog. Always remember that the dog is frightened and will run even further away if chased.
4. Leave a food and water bowl our near your home. Or if you know the area where your dog is hiding, leave it there. If you do know the area where the dog ay be hiding, inform the local animal shelter, so they can set up a trap in that area and they will include the food and water in the trap.
5. Post lost dog flyers in the neighborhood and on social media. The flyers should contain the dogs photo, contact info and dogs name.

Lastly, many shy dogs gain confidence if they are adopted into a family who already has a friendly dog. The shy dog may quickly gain his confidence by being around a friendly dog.

It’s a very common scene. One that’s appeared in many cartoons and TV shows. A cat climbs a tree and becomes too scared to climb down. Unfortunately, this is also occurs frequently in real life. Cat claws are curved downward which makes it very easy to climb up a tree or go down a tree backwards. If your cat is new to tree climbing, she might try to go down head first which doesn’t work. If your cat gets stuck up in a tree, you should rescue her right away before she gets dehydrated and weak. If your cat is too high for you to reach, you may need to call an Arborist or tree service. Lots of people rely on the fire department to help but their job is to save human lives and may not be able to spare the time or the equipment. Remember, your pets count!

You never know when you might develop an allergic reaction to something and the same goes for cats. If your cat starts to groom and scratch a lot, she may have developed a feline food allergy. In pets, food allergies often manifest themselves in the skin. They can also cause vomiting and diarrhea. If your cat displays these symptoms, take her to the veterinarian. If your vet confirms that it is a food allergy, not an allergy that is inhaled, he or she may suggest that you change your cat’s diet. The culprit is usually protein. Feeding a new source of protein usually alleviates the problem.

Cleaning your dogs ears should only be done if your dog does not have an infection in them. If he does, wait for it to heal before attempting to clean them. Some things you will need is an ear cleaner for dogs. Most pet suppliers will carry herbal ear cleaners if you are more comfortable using this type of product. You’ll also need cotton pads. The circular kind used for removing makeup are the best. Now, you will need patience. Make sure that you do this at a time when you are not rushing somewhere. If your dog is not used to getting his ears cleaned, I would recommend that you give him an ear massage first. Gently squirt some ear cleaning in his ear before massaging. Now, you must be patient. Some dogs hate this and will run away when you squirt the cleaner in their ears for the first time. Gently use the pad of your fingertips around the edge of his ear until he relaxes for you. Your dog can now associate touching his ears with a relaxing experience. As he relaxes, you can go further into the ear. Look at the curves and grooves in the ears to see how dirty his ears are. Just keep your fingers on the areas that you can see.

Take the pad and soak it with the ear cleaning solution. Once the pad is ready, gently slide it in your dogs ear until it stops. Once the pad is in the ear canal, fold the ear down and gently massage the area surrounding the pad. Rub the ear back and forth as best you can. If you do this right, your dog will probably love you for it!

Take the pad out and use it to swab the rest of the ear.

As your pet ages, watch for any changes in his health. If you dog is middle aged or older and has a pot belly, it may not be because you give him too many dog treats. It may be that he has Cushing’s disease. This is a hormonal imbalance that occurs when a dogs adrenal glands begin secreting too much cortisol. It’s a common condition among Poodles, Boston Terriers, Dacshunds and Boxers. Symptoms of Cushing’s Disease include, lethargy, excessive thirst and urination, and a pot belly. Uniform hair loss on both sides of the body,vomiting and diarrhea may also occur. If your older dog develops any of these symptoms, talk to your veterinarian. Treatment for Cushing’s Disease varies but it is most effective if it’s started early.
