Why Do Dogs Bite?

Dogs bite for a multitude of reasons, but most often it is as a reaction to something occurring around them. It normally takes an outside stimulus. If a dog is frightened or startled unexpectedly, they may lash out by biting. If a situation is perceived by an animal to be threatening, the reaction can be to lash out by attacking the person or other dog who is perceived to be a threat.

Adopting a Dog – Your Dog’s First Vet Visit

Dogs are in shelters for a variety of reasons. Some of them have behavior issues, some just got too big and then others just had the misfortunate of having a first owner who didn’t take the time to train them and give them the proper attention that every dog needs.

Worms – What They Do To Your Dog

It is not unusual for your dog to come down with worms. One third of all dogs will be infected by various kinds of intestinal parasites in their life. There are many types of worms that can affect your dog including roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms and whipworms. As a caring owner of a dog, you should be aware of what to look for when it comes to worms. If you are aware of the symptoms, you can take the necessary measures so that your dog will remain active and healthy.

Adopting A Dog – Choosing The Right Dog From A Shelter

Before adopting a dog, you should do some research as well as ask some experts like your vet and dog trainer what type of dog would be best for you and your family. You should also try to get all the information that is available on any particular dog that you are interested in including the dog’s age, health history and behavior information from the previous owner.

Choosing A Cool Name For Your Dog

When you first picked up your pet from the street, a tiny little pup, you were more concerned about nurturing him back to health. You fed him, played with him and helped him familiarize with the other members of your family. The thought of naming him somehow took a backseat. Now that he has spent a few weeks in your home, it’s about time to have him christened.
