The following is an interview my good friend Maggie graciously spent the time to answer. She and her partner feed their Dogs homemade Dog food. They feed what would be considered an “all natural Dog food diet”. In my post on homemade Dog foods I questioned many aspects of making food at home for the Dogs. I wondered just how much work it actually involves, how expensive it is, and just how time consuming is it to prepare yet another set of meals. Maggie has been preparing healthy Dog foods for their two Dogs (hey dudes), for quite some […]
Stop Digging Dogs
The Dogs always seem to want something new (and messy) to entertain themselves with. As our two oldest Dogs, Faye and Daisy, begin to settle down, and are over the total exuberance of puppy-hood , Jet, the daughter of Daisy, is trying to take on the responsibility of being naughty for all three Dogs! We still call Jet the puppy, although she is ten months old now, but I guess that she will forever be referred to as the Puppy on this Dog blog. She has always been a well behaved Dog, she hardly ever caused any trouble at […]
Stop Fleas And Ticks On Dogs-Alternatives To Frontline Medicine?
Not so long ago we looked at how to remove a tick from a Dog and it seemed like a more thorough look at the subject of both tick and flea preventions and remedies was in order. Dog fleas and Dog Ticks are two of the most common infestations Dog owners face and learning how to prevent ticks and fleas is something a lot of Dog owners ask. I will take a comprehensive look at both how to get rid of fleas and ticks on Dogs as well as how to prevent fleas and ticks on Dogs. Once your […]
Dog Spike Collars, Just For The Hard Boys?
Now and then I notice that an image ad is served up showing a Spiked Dog Collar. It all looks pretty cool but I wondered are Spiked Dog Collars safe for Dogs to be wearing. The Company that is the only one that I have seen with the ad is Imosh. Lots of heavy duty Leather Spiked Dog Collars that I thought looked pretty cool personally. I wonder if these Spiked Dog Collars make controlling your Dog any more difficult. I assume that they are not razor sharp but would it interfere if you had to grab your Dog […]
Homemade Dog Foods. Natural Homemade Dog Food
I have talked quite a bit amount the fact I like to feed the Dogs Raw Meaty Bones on occasion, as well as the Dogs eating Chicken Bones. I like to keep the feeding of the Dogs quite simple, partly from a time point of view and partly an economic one. There have been so many recalls and reports about what is actually in the commercial foods that we buy (both for us and our Dogs), that I am wondering whether it may be worth rethinking the way we feed our Dogs. Homemade Dog Foods, just as Homemade Food […]
Clone My Dog? Would You Clone Your Pet?
At home last night we were talking about how similar Jet, Daisies Puppy, is to her. Daisy is a very Shy Dog, even though we have had her for about a year and a half. I spoke about Shy Dog Training and the pace at which it needs to be taken previously. She is probably less than two years old, but the short time she spent in a Rescue Shelter did her delicate nature no good at all. Jet has not had that experience but they are alike in so many ways. They even both have the same obsession […]
Removing Dog Ticks. How To Remove A Tick From A Dog
Here in Spain, as the Weather warms, the Ticks are again beginning to become a real problem. All three of the Dogs have a Treatment against Ticks every month. There is one thing I have learnt over the years and that is that the best way to stop ticks and fleas is to use Frontline for Dogs. This stops them ever appearing but often we do not have it in the house or have not applied it as it is no the season when the ticks usually appear. Luckily I do know how to remove a Tick from a […]
