Tips for a Slimmer Dog Weight-loss



Just like us, overweight pets can experience a multitude of health issues. Likewise, the best methods to keep your pet's weight in check are the same as if we were to shed some extra pounds. Try the following if your animal is hefty - they will greatly benefit from dropping a few extra pounds and in the very small, a few ounces will make a difference.


  • Get daily exercise and/or walks. Exercise helps to burn calories. Fresh air, new experiences and regular activity also contribute to your pet's mental health and that helps in keeping the whole body functioning properly.
  • Feed your pet a healthy diet. Essential nutrition is important if you want a healthy pet and who doesn't? you should feed your pet natural, human grade foods. Enhance their diet with appropriate treats and remember to always have clean, fresh water available at all times.
  • See you veterinarian regularly.

Les Poochs Brushes


Les Poochs Brushes are the greatest I have ever used. They are expensive but last so much longer than the cheap look-alike's that are showing up in grooming catalogs and pet stores. These are easy to use and do not damage the hair. This the the proper way in which to brush the hair on dog's legs. By brushing upward, it gets through the hair easier and is much more comfortable for the dog.

While many people like the smell of puppy breath, the same can’t be said for “Dog breath”. It’s almost universally considered as eye-stingingly unpleasant. This phrase has even been used as a play-ground insult! While it’s a joke to some, when you look at the science behind foul panting, it’s clear that bad breath is anything but funny. More...
Dealing with Grief

Losing a companion animal is devastating. And yet, many pet parents don’t receive the kind of emotional support they might expect if they had lost a human family member. Failing to show such a depth of compassion is common for those who have never shared a special bond with a companion animal. These people might say to themselves, “What’s the big deal … it was just a pet” What they don’t understand is a very simple truth … losing a companion animal is losing a member of your family.
