Dealing With the Heat – You and Your Dog
Submitted By: Geoffrey English
Most people see the summer months as a time to get outside with the family and do a variety of recreational activities. Whether it’s hiking in the woods or swimming at the park, the entire family can be included, even your four legged partner, who, during the winter months tends to lead an inactive lifestyle.
As the weather begins to break and spring turns into summer, owners of hunting dogs are advised to use moderation when resuming their outdoor activities. Most veterinarians and professional dog trainers will tell you that dogs who lead a sedentary lifestyle during the off-season are in a high risk group when spring and summer time comes around . . .

Prevention & Treatment Of Pet Car Sickness Submitted By: Haley Thomas Motion sickness is common in both dogs andcats, however most pet owners will readily agree that cats are the most prone to becoming violently ill while in a vehicle. Most cats will have some reaction to travel that can include howling, meowing, foaming at the mouth, vomiting and turning into nervous wrecks at the sight of the carrier and the car. Dogs, as a whole, tend to be more accepting of car travel and typically learn to adjust very well to traveling, even learning what the jingle of keys means. It is possible that cats can learn to enjoy being in a car, however most cat owners don't usually worry if the cat doesn't travel well as they typically are only in the vehicle when they are on the way to the vets . . .
Submitted By: Kelly Marshall Just like humans, dogs may be prone to having vision and hearing problems as they age and move into their senior years. Sometimes owners fail to realize that the older dog is not able to hear their commands and assume that the dog is misbehaving or willful. Under these conditions the owners may punish the dog or even take him or her back through obedience training, both which can frighten and confuse the senior dog that is struggling to understand what is being asked . . .
