Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing everyone a happy V-day!

Just a reminder: keep chocolate away from dogs! Chocolate is toxic to dogs! A chocolate mud cake could be a real health risk or even lethal for a small dog! Even just licking the chocolate icing off a cake can make a dog very sick.

Merry Christmas!

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR DOG

• Always remember that sweets are not good for dogs and chocolate is deadly to dogs!
• Don't leave any lighted candles or Jack-O-Lanterns where they could be knocked over by a swinging tail or by a curious puppy.
• Dog in a costume is cute, but don’t do it unless the dog is extremely receptive to this kind of thing. Otherwise, you could be causing him/her discomfort and stress! Keeping in mind that some dogs may be under enough stress with the festivities going on outside, constant door bell rings and strange looking kids at the door; so don't cause them any more nervousness then you have to.

Canine Escapes Kennel

I've seen dogs escape their day kennel before but not at this level of difficulty!  This Beagle dog is very special!

Gus - Worlds Ugliest Dog 2008!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Perhaps they're just showing people that ALL creatures are winners.  I think he's cute. He's the little ugly duckling that is really a swan in disguise!   :-)

A green puppy?!

I've never seen a green puppy before... It's good to know that this puppy is healthy. :-)

Socializing Your Dog

Yes, your dog also needs a social life!  A socialized dog is a happy dog! It's very important to continue socializing your dog well into adulthood!

Besides the obedience classes, agility classes, dog park, dog daycare, social meet-up is also a great way to expose your puppy to new situations, dogs, and people.  e.g. Find toy dog owners and toy dog meetups near you:

Note: Before you head to the dog meet-up, dog park or doggy day care, make sure your dog is current on its vaccinations.
