Artificial sweetener can kill dogs
There are many foods you should never give your dogs.
With the holidays here and people are baking sweet treats for friends and family, don't be tempted to treat your dog to these same goodies.
A common artificial sweetener found in sugar-free baked goods, candy, oral hygiene products and chewing gum can be deadly if ingested by a dog, the US Food and Drug Administration warns.
The ingredient, Xylitol, can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia), seizures and liver failure in dogs, which may lead to death, according to FDA. Signs that a dog may have consumed Xylitol can occur within minutes or days of ingesting the sweetener, and include depression, loss of coordination and vomiting.
FDA advises pet owners immediately contact a veterinarian or pet poison control center if they suspect their dog may have ingested the product.
When stuffing those Christmas stockings with candies and other yummy tidbits make sure to keep them out of the reach of you fur kids. Be safe not sorry.

Pedigree's definition of Long lasting dog chews
I was reading an interesting article and came across this. This just goes to show how big name companies stretch their marketing words to make consumers think they are getting more then they actually do. Case in point:
Pedigree responds to consumer complaint about chewy dog treat
Petfood manufacturer Pedigree said claims made in a TV ad for the Jumbone chew treat are "mere puffery," after a dog owner complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that his dogs consumed the treats in seconds.
The TV ad features a small dog gnawing on the Jumbone and giving up after it could not finish what the commercial called a "long-lasting chewy treat." The dog owner complained to the ASA, claiming his dogs took "under one minute" to finish off the bones.
In its response to the complaint, Pedigree said the man should not have believed the claim of the "lighthearted" ad, saying it was "mere puffery". In Pedigree's view, "long lasting" meant "several minutes." The ASA weighed the evidence and dismissed the consumer complaint, siding with Pedigree that its chewy dog treats lasted an average of about "three minutes and 21 seconds," which it considered long lasting, in comparison to softer treats.
Now back to my commentary - I know that dogs will chew through treats at a different speed. My own dogs can be given a chew treat at the same time and one will aggressively chew on it and have it gone in a matter of minutes and the other will savor his treat for up to a half hour.

Iams Pet Food Recall due to elevated aflatoxin levels
On November 25, 2011, select varieties of Iams dog and cat foods have been recalled by Price Chopper, a major grocery store chain located in the northeastern region of the United States.
According to an announcement on the Price Chopper website, the recall has been instituted due to elevated aflatoxin levels found in the suspected products.

Dog car safety tip: Seat Belts
Just wanted to remind pet owners about safely transporting your pets. Look for a dog seat belt that will hold your dog in place during the ride. Most seat belts have a padded strap that goes in front of the dog's chest, two straps that adjust for the neck and under the legs and a loop that the car seat belt goes through.
Place the dog in the back seat (the safest location to ride) the middle of the seat is best possible position in your car for your pet. Do not leave your pet attached to the car's seat belt if you leave the car. This may cause harm to a pet that tries to move from his set. Unfasten the car seat belt from the seat belt harness and refasten it upon your return.
This will assure your pet's saftey when riding in the car.
