Spite Isn’t A Dog Thing ñ Separation Anxiety Is

Dog owners, when they get together, will tell stories of their amazing, brilliant, astonishing and misbehaving dogs. How many times have you heard about the pet who, displeased by its ownersí absence, left a ìpresentî of the most unpleasant kind?

The truth is ñ he didnít do it out of spite. Dogs arenít people. People are the only animals that have an idea of ìspite,î ìrevenge,î or ìgetting even.î Thatís not to say that dogs donít have emotions ñ any dog owner knows better. But most will agree that dogs arenít planners ñ they live completely in the moment – …

Smelly Dogs May Need Ablutions

Every week there is one date I faithfully keep: “ablutions” time with my dogs. I don’t know why we started calling it that – probably when I was completely and totally addicted to Regency Romance novels. According to Webster’s Dictionary, “ablutions” is “a washing of the body, especially as a religious ceremony.”

We don’t actually do a full-body dog wash every week – I’m told that less frequent bathing is better for a dog’s skin and fur – and it’s not really a ritual. We do trim nails, brush fur and teeth, clean ears, and wash faces. Because of the …

Review of the Purina Second Nature Dog Litter Box System

I had previously raised two lhasa apso dogs who spent most of their lives living in high-rise condominiums. Instead of having to take them down an elevator to go outdoors to eliminate all the time, I trained them to use newspapers in a spare bathroom. Since they were both initially paper trained as puppies anyway, I chose to continue this method for them. Indoor newspapers worked quite well for the rest of their lives as my dogs were able to go to the bathroom whenever they needed to. The only problem is that the papers tended to get rather messy …

Is Small Amounts of Chocolate Harmful to Dogs?

The other day, my dog ate chocolate. It was only a small amount, but I’m not sure whether or not it’s harmful to him. What should I do? The truth is that dogs can’t metabolize cocoa beans like humans can, so the main ingredient in chocolate (theobromine) isn’t processed well by their bodies. 

That means they are more likely to have adverse reactions when they eat even small amounts of chocolate than we would be. Let’s take a look at this article for some tips on what you should do if your pet eats anything containing cocoa beans!

How to Get Your Dog to Drink More Water: A Guide for Successful Drinking

Your dog is a unique being with its own personality and habits. You have to find what works best for your individual animal, but there are some general tips that will help you on your way: give them ice cubes (they like the crunching), put their water dish near their food dish, or try different flavors of water such as chicken broth or apple juice.
