I’m going to write about my pugs. There will be food involved (as there always is with pugs). I got the idea from Jaimie Christine who writes a healthy lifestyle blog. She wrote a post about her rescue dog Jasmine. Since I like to include a picture of one of the pugs doing a taste test, I figured I should introduce them.
In 2002 I organized a series of pug meetups in Toronto parks. The idea was for pug people to get together, share stores and information and watch the pugs play. The events grew and in 2005 I founded Pugalug Pug Rescue. It is a registered, all volunteer dog rescue orgranization that focuses on pugs. We don’t use shelters. The pugs come into people’s homes and stay until they are adopted. I have been a foster home since 2005, having cared for over 25 pugs.
Pugs can develop an allergy to certain ingredients in foods. In rescue there are stories of people who spend thousands of vet dollars trying to cure skin and ear infections. They then surrender them to a rescue because of the infections. A change of diet, because of an allergy to corn or soy, cleared up the problem.
I feed my pugs a grain free kibble. I’ve never had a pug of my own with allergies but err on the side of caution. Usually it is turkey or poultry based although I have also given them pork, beef and fish kibble to change the variety. I currently use the Open Farm brand. They do have an Ancient Grains formula that I’ve tried with no reaction from the dogs.
In addition to the kibble, I’ll give them a spoonful of wet, Tripett or Merrick’s are my usual. They also get treats throughout the day – Nature’s Harvest soft treats or Northern Biscuit – both made in Canada. Eve and Raisin also eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. When I’m sharpening the knife in the kitchen, they come running to the sound as they know I’ll be chopping veggies. Greta is not so big on vegetables – meat or cheese is her preference.
I adopted Dublin at 8 months old from Peachy Pugs Rescue in 2002. He passed away in October of 2017. Although he was not part of the food blog, his spirit was there in the kitchen with the other pugs. He passed away October 2017.
Dublin travelled with me to the Maritimes and Quebec. You can read about our adventures in my travel blog Parts Unknown Pugs. From lobster to poutine, we enjoyed what Canada had to offer.
A year after our road trip out east, Dublin passed on of natural causes at age 15. He quietly breathed his last sigh beside me.
I adopted Odin in 2006. He had fear issues that I had to work on to get him to trust me. We were successful and he became comfortable being around people. The key was positive reinforcement using food as a reward.
He was the quintessential pug clown, delighting people with his antics. We didn’t travel at that time but we did volunteer at the All About Pets show and at Woofstock for the Pugalug Pug Rescue booth.
He passed on at the age of 9, October 24, 2013 – his birthday. He suddenly found it difficult to breath. He was at the vet emergency for 4 days before they determined the cause – a blood clot in the lung. Nothing they could do. I commissioned a film in his memory.
Raisin is the social butterfly of our pack. When we go to a pug event, she heads off to meet as many people as she can (and get as many pets as she can). She will look up at them with her big eyes and long tongue, inviting herself into their midst. I let her wander but keep an eye on her. Eventually she makes her way back to me.
Raisin was in a high-kill shelter in Michigan. No American rescue could take her because they were full. Pugalug was contacted in 2014 to see if we could take her. I happened to be available so she came to me. As soon as I took her in my arms I knew she was going to stay with me. She had the little underbite that I adored. Today she has about 50% of her eyesight. In her early years she had low tear production that was not treated. She now gets regular medication to preserve her eyesight.
Raisin has travelled from coast to coast. With Dublin we went on a road trip to the East Coast, dipping her paw in the Atlantic Ocean. The, with Eve, we drove all the way to Tofino, Vancouver Island and back. At Pacific Rim National Park, she dipped her paws into the Pacific.
She is 14 now and still going strong. She needs to be lifted up and down the stairs as her back legs are weak. She wants another road trip this summer.
Eve was my foster and another one with fear issues. She did not like being touched or even looked at. It took a couple of days for her to settle down and be comfortable sitting next to me. It took a few more months to be able to pet her body. Again, it was positive reinforcement using treats.
She came to me in October, 2017 with a reported bite history. It meant she had bitten a human but no details were provided. She was 7 years old and very energetic. She loved to run, climb, socialize with other dogs. She developed a bonding trust with me so I decided to adopt her rather than putting her through the adjustment of a new home to trust.
Eve made a great travelling companion when we went on our western road trip. She loved the park trails and beaches. She has come to trust a few regulars we meet everyday on our walks. Some have a treat ready because they know her past behaviour. When strangers ask to pet the dogs, I tell them not Eve. Then I tell Raisin to say Hi and Eve is quite happy to let Raisin do the meet and greet.
Greta, an 8 year old puppy mill dog, came to me as a foster in March, 2020 – just before the lockdown. She had been kept in a cage, in a back shed and used for breeding puppies for sale. I could tell she had very little human contact, physical or emotional. She also had a fear of people. However, she quickly bonded with me once she realize I wasn’t a threat and I had good food.
Her ears really got me. They were like little wings, ready to fly her into the sky. She didn’t have a name. I gave her the name Greta for her tenacity. Through the pandemic I worked on building her trust. She responded well to the treat training. It didn’t take her long to learn how to use the pee pads. Being in a cage all her life, she didn’t understand the idea of going for a walk to pee. But it took her no time to use the pads. She also hates the cold so she used them all winter.
There are my 3 current furkids. Eve – 10, Greta – 8 and Raisin – 14. And, yes, we are planning a road trip this summer.
Oh wow! I’m so happy that I gave you this idea because it’s a fabulous topic! I love how it all started by organizing pug meetups. You’re a genuine, good hearted person and your pugs are absolutely adorable! I have a soft spot for them because I grew up with a Puggle. He looks more like a pug than a beagle😂 thanks for sharing this and keep being you💗
My pleasure Jaimie. Thanks for giving me the idea.

Hearing about your pugs is always a joy Larry. I have enjoyed the photos of your trips with the pugs. Looking forward to seeing where the four of you go this summer!

I’ve had at least one dog, sometimes more, for most of my life. I love ‘em. Dogs possess such dedication and have interesting, sometimes quirky, personalities. I had a golden retriever once that I could send into my house to check each room and make sure it was safe before I entered; that’s an important luxury for a young woman living alone.
Later, I had a corgi who compulsively watched television, waiting for animals to terrorize. She memorized the jingles in pet food commercials and would make a beeline to the TV to savagely bark at the screen. The going got weird, though, when she developed an interest in sports. I began to notice that when football or soccer was on, she would bark furiously during plays. If track and field, golf, or a horse race was on, she watched with interest but didn’t make a peep (except to woof at the horses). I realized that if the action was calm or players were all moving in the same direction, she was content; anything resembling a disorganized scramble drove her nuts. There was never a dull moment with that dog; she kept me laughing, but I was always relieved I wasn’t a regular televised sports consumer.
Folks who enjoy dogs as much as I do should plan to bring their pooches to the next Second Saturday at the Baugh House, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., where the Historical Society will host Dogs on Display. The day will offer dog enthusiasts and their canines a chance to compete in contests like Musical Sit, where several dogs and their owners parade around a circle; when the music stops, the last dog still standing is disqualified. The best sitter wins the prize.
Another event sure to promote merriment is the Leave-it Race where leashed dogs with their handlers walk quickly at heel down a lane to the finish line. Sounds simple enough, but can they ignore a plate of hot dogs placed halfway through the course? The dogs that do win the prizes. Add a Best Trick contest that we expect to go far beyond “sit up,” a Costume Parade, Most Congenial, Biggest and Smallest competitions, and nearly every dog can take home a prize. Onlookers can delight in a great show. Along with the competitions, a special area will be set up for local pet stores, veterinarians, grooming and boarding services and adoption agencies to offer literature, coupons and free samples.
WRHS members who register can compete for free. Local residents will be asked for a $10 donation per pet to participate. All handlers must provide a current rabies shot record for dogs at registration and sign a waiver. Dogs must be on a leash at all times in accordance with city policies.
If you’re interested in being part of this challenging, potentially hilarious day, email a request to the Historical Society at firstname.lastname@example.org by Aug. 31 and put “Dogs on Display” in the subject line. We’ll get back to you with registration information and guidelines for the day.

One mom's struggle to resist the urge to juggle and instead just go with the flow.
Friday, January 20, 2006
This is my sweet, pretty dog, Lexi. I hang out with her all the time and I love her! I think she catches all the oveflow of my maternal instinct because I don't have children yet. She doesn't seem to mind, though. She soaks up all the attention. As you can see, she has full run of the roost. This photo features her occupying about 50% of my bed. That's standard operation for her and I have to admit that I actually encourage this behavior. She's a really good dog.


Ok, I just got thru ripping Biden, now I am going to defend him. Recently, the Vice President purchased a German Sheppard puppy from a breeder. It is, of course, a full blooded Sheppard. I have zero issue with this. None what so ever. However, the same liberal whiners and moaners are once again doing what they do best…whining and crying. I guess these days, if you choose to get a dog you MUST get one from a shelter or something of that sort. If you don’t you face the wrath of PETA and the Humane Society as well as friends, co-workers and others who will chastise you for doing this because so many animals are put down each year. Here is what your Humane Society said:
“President-elect Obama can send a stronger message of hope and change for animals by adopting a homeless dog from an animal shelter or rescue group.” – Michael Markarian, executive vice president of the Humane Society of the United States
How about the great PETA:
“I was extremely disappointed to read that Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife bought a dog from a breeder instead of adopting one from an animal shelter, obviously he or his wife blanked on Ingrid’s (PETA Founder) letter, which asked him to consider adopting. Every year, U.S. animal shelters are forced to euthanize millions of wonderful, deserving dogs and cats because of the lack of good homes.”
Now, it seems, the breeder has gotten death threats, been cast as a low life by the local press and been targeted for state inspections due to “anonymous” complaints. She has gone on to say never again will she sell a dog to a high profile person. All this because the Vice President choose to buy a dog from a breeder.
This really pisses me off. It pisses me off because I have seen this kind of crap first hand. Our family doesn’t get many new things because we try to save money. We don’t always get the new high tech gadget or the best kind of blue jeans because we are pretty thrifty. The ONE thing we do get though, is a full blooded dog. It’s just something we have chosen to do. It’s the one thing in our life we will pay top dollar for. We don’t go out and spend a huge sum on some royalty dog due to their blood line or that their Mom won best of show. We will spend about $300 – $400 on a full blooded one.
Now of course, when we do that, I have people at work and friends who say things like “Oh, there are so many dogs and cats and shelters who need adopting” or “We get our dogs from rescues” or how about “You know, those breeders inbreed a lot…you may not have a full blooded one…” It’s guilt trip after guilt trip. All because we choose to buy our animal (which, by the way, the whole “buying” thing is stupid. Even if you adopt there are costs associated with it and plus, I know many rescue places that actually have to come out to your house and inspect it before they will allow you to adopt one of their animals).
Oh yeah, and don’t give me that BS about “millions of dogs are euthanized each year…”. Hey, what do you think would happen if everyone started to adopt from shelters? Are these activists not concerned with the full blooded animals and their lives? Now, I’m not saying don’t adopt from a shelter or rescue but leave me alone if I choose not to! Anywa, I fully support Joe Biden and his new puppy.

Now, I may be *slightly* biased here but I think my puppy dog is the cutest in the world ever!
Here he is in fridge magnet form…
I took the photo of him. It is my favourite picture of the lad 🙂
And yes, I did make the fridge magnet…you can kind of tell by the glitter that I had something to do with it 😀
I got my dog from a rescue home and I think that makes him extra lovely as he deserves all the love and cuddles and toys in the world.
I love his wonky ears and slightly crooked tail…his over-sized snout and his extra long body. I particularly love his heart-shaped patch. He’s such a sweet little guy and loves nothing more than cuddling up and falling asleep on your lap.

TEMPLE CITY, CA (June 29, 2019)—Temple City pet owners and their furry friends are invited to attend the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society’s annual low-cost rabies vaccination and microchip clinic on Saturday, July 20.
Designed for dogs and cats, the clinic will take place from 1-4 p.m. at the humane society, located at 851 E. Grand Ave. in San Gabriel. A variety of services will be available at inexpensive costs, including $9 rabies vaccinations and $20 microchips with lifetime registration.

The world is crazy about cats. Cats become talismans – people set up cat restaurants and barbers, leaving a legacy to their pets, drawing paintings, dedicating songs and things like that.
Today everything is about cats and technology! Not everyone knows that the App Store and Google Play Store present several collections of applications, developed specifically for your downy pet.
We have been inspired by new trends and decided to make a collection of 10 amazing applications, where your pet will have fun, try to chase fish, butterflies or mice and more.
1. Game for cats
The world-famous application for cats which is downloaded thousands of times per day. With this fast action game, your cat and all the guests in your house will be entertained for hours.
Speaking of which, the level by chasing lasers is free, while chasing the mouse has in-app purchases.
Speaking of modes, you can choose for several levels of your pet: “Chasing lasers”, “Chasing mice”, “Chasing butterflies” and traditional laser pointers: everyone likes to let their cats chase laser pointers, right? Well, now you can keep your cat entertained without making any effort! Game for Cats will choose a random path that keeps your cat’s attention.
2. Paint for Cats
Not only people who dedicate paintings to their beautiful cats, but cats are also perfect artists. How it works: there is a mouse, which moves from one corner to another.
It catches your attention and chases mice, making paintings at the same time. In addition, you can choose colors from 10 different palettes – Caturday Psycatdelic, Trash Box, Hot Claws, Mighty Forest, Wild Side, Cat City, Cool Cat, Cat Toes, Cat Shadow.
You can share your work with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on.
3. Cat Fishing 2
The new version of Cat Fishing means more fish in the app! We know that cats like to catch fish and eat them, but sometimes you can’t go to the lake or bring your pet yourself.
In this case, iPad is a good entertainment provider for your beloved cat. the main feature, that the cat sees ordinary fish, swimming not in water, but your iPad’s screen. Tap it, the pet gets a score and each time, when the cat is interrupted by something or stops playing, the application automatically says “meowing” to attract his attention.
4. Cat Game
I would not believe if you say that you have never played with your paint, used a laser and navigated on a wall. Your cat likes little red dots, right? So now your pet can do it in a special application and you don’t need to look for a laser.
This game is enjoyed by everyone, both your age and your pet. The process is quite simple, your cat must chase the laser point. A cat gets a score every time it chases a red dot. But I think if you and your cat are competitors, it will be a dishonest game.
5. Friskies JitterBug
This application will be for Fishing and Cat Games for Cats, but instead of mice, butterflies and fish, your cat will chase insects !!! I am really afraid of any insect, but if you are looking for something futuristic and unusual for your cat, this application is the best choice.
In Game mode, there are five eighteen seconds rounds to catch as many bugs as possible. There is also an Advanced Mode where you can choose how many each type of bug will appear. The advanced mode also has an Endless Play option, so your cat can practice as long as he likes.
6. Best Game for Cats
Funny application among others. Everything in pleasant and well-designed colors. When you see this application, you immediately want to make your cat happy.
Talking about its features, catching mice, catching cat bells, catching wool balls, catching lasers, endless games to allow you to let you paint as long as it wants, sound effects let you know how well your cat is playing while you are watching TV. Your cat will continue to be entertained for a long time, we promise.
7. Mouse for Cats
This is a legendary 2D game for cats in HD Graphics, compatible with iPad and iPhone. Its main feature is that this application was developed, optimized and timed only for cats, not humans.
There are eight interesting levels with moving mice that have to be chased, tap, and get scores to move up to the next level! Mice have different colors so your cat takes the game seriously.
This is one of the most popular applications to play with your pet on the market. One of the best advantages is that Petcube is available everywhere – on iOS, Android and all tablets, including the iPad.
Petcube works in such a way that it creates a laser beam from your gadget’s camera. When you launch the application, you can see the world through a Pet Camera with a laser indicator. Slide your finger on the screen of your smartphone to manipulate the beam. Your cat might be amazed.
Another cool bonus is that you can record videos with your game paint and then share them with the rest of the world.
9. Catch The Mouse Cat Game
If you want to have this game for yourself, you probably won’t like it. However, don’t forget that we and our cats are different creatures and cats like to hunt mice. They do not require special features, additional accessories. They will be happy just by looking at the mouse and chasing it.
Because this application is very simple, the added bonus is that it won’t take up much space on your tablet. What’s more, mice can be different colors – from green to black! Well, of course, cats can’t distinguish colors, but it’s pleasing to their owners.

My cat is coming home! He's been in the emergency veterinary clinic for 9 days.
And to add a money angle: he got sick while he was in the emergency clinic for something totally unrelated (he picked up a virus while he was in the emergency clinic getting treated for hyperthyroidism. This was not an emergency but was done in the emergency clinic because they have the specialized staff.)
Because he got the infection while under their care, they re-admitted him to their ICU and provided 10 days of ICU care in isolation *at no additional charge to me.* (I don't even want to speculate about what the cost would have been otherwise.) He received IV hydration and nutrition via a nasalgastro tube, plus a whack of x-rays and medication including things like interferon and various antibiotics, painkillers and sedatives.
Anyways. I'm just thrilled he is coming home. I can't say enough good things about the VEC in Toronto.


Moving houses with pets can be a lot of work and involve careful planning, so it’s important to get everything just right. Moving is never easy, and it’s even harder when you have a pet. Sometimes you may not have many options when moving because of your pet, but there are some great tips for making the transition a little easier. You might have to get rid of clutter before focusing on moving, and that is where Man with a van Barnsley comes in. There are several things to keep in mind when moving houses with pets:
Plan Well Ahead
Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your moving day, or else it will be all too easy to forget about your pet’s needs. If you’re worried about the cost of new food and vet visits, consider either using an old address temporarily or setting up a monthly transfer so that your housekeeping payment goes towards feeding them.
Remember to think about the needs of each pet specifically. Cats and dogs will both need feeding.
Choose a neighbourhood that is as close to the city centre as possible. It’s always best to choose a place with good public transportation and good parks. Choose a neighbourhood that is within walking distance of supermarkets, pet stores, and veterinary hospitals.
If you’re planning to travel with your pet, you should book your ticket at least two weeks in advance and three weeks in advance if you are travelling internationally. The earlier you book the ticket, the cheaper it will be. However, don’t buy a ticket before confirming that your pet can travel with you.
There are several different options for moving with your pets. The most popular is the kennel, which is basically a cage or a crate that can be placed in the back of a vehicle, van, or rented truck. If you choose this option, you should make sure that it is sturdy and high enough for your pet to stand up. You might need an extra set of hands to help transport it; otherwise, it could tip over during transportation.
There are different types of carriers you can use, such as soft pet carriers, hard-sided pet carriers, and hard-sided pet carriers for larger animals. Some even have wheels and handles. Check the condition of the container at home before you leave so that your pet doesn’t injure itself in transit. A well-ventilated carrier may be wise as air conditioning and heating can be difficult to regulate in moving vehicles.
Just about any vehicle can transport pets, but ensure your cat or dog is secure in the carrier, and this should take place on as smooth a road surface as possible. Remember that increasingly more cars are fitted with seat belt retractors, but not all will accommodate pets.
What Do You Need to Bring From the Old Home
It depends on what kind of animal you have. If you’re moving with a small, soft-sided cage or crate, you can probably take that with you. However, if you have an older dog, it’s best to have a hard-sided or collapsible pet carrier that fits your pet. If you travel internationally, be sure to also bring upholstery cleaner so that your couch and car seats can be cleaned.
Do You Need Additional Supplies?
You will want to bring along some pet foods, puppy pads, toys, and treats for your pet. If you are travelling internationally, don’t forget that preparations may differ in the country in question. When flying internationally with pets, they must have their own travel crate so that they can be transported safely and comfortably during the entire trip.
You’ll probably find that you need to change a few things while you’re on the move. Your pet may have a hankering for a favourite toy or bedding, and it will probably only be for the night. So, it’s important to remember that you can change your plans at any time and make adjustments accordingly.
Don’t expect your pet to understand what’s going on or why. If they’re used to a routine, they’re not going to understand that there’s something different about the situation. It’s up to you as a responsible owner to show your pet that everything is comfortable and familiar around them. If you’ve had pets before, then you’ll probably know that it can be overwhelming when they’re first moved.


Most cat owners may find it confusing whether or not their pet’s odd behavior is already a red flag for emergency treatment.
However, you should watch out for certain signs and symptoms that require a quick trip to the veterinarian. It’s now easier to determine if your cat needs more than just medication from veterinary prescription pads from Positive Impressions, LLC.
Unlike in the past, the availability of the Internet has allowed us to find information for determining if your pet feels sick. In case you notice that your cat has been breathing through an opened mouth, this typically indicates respiratory problems. Labored breathing is unusual for cats, even for those that may exhibit weird habits.
If your cat vomits for several times a day, that’s another sign for you to bring them to the vet. They may have eaten or ingested something dangerous. Aside from this, frequent vomiting also indicates the presence of internal parasites.
Who takes care of your cat if it spends most of the day alone at your home? During an emergency, a trusted person should have access to your house to bring your pet to the clinic right away. This individual should also be able to contact you immediately in this situation.
Keep a care kit handy around the house. This should preferably be stored in a place near your pet’s carrier. Some essential items to store in a kit include canned food, contact details of your vet, health records, written instructions on how to handle your pet and registration documents.
Taking care of pets requires more than just giving affection and spending time with them. Pet owners should prepare a healthcare contingency plan for their four-legged companions. You’ll find it less worrisome to deal with emergencies in this way, especially if you can’t be with your pet due to work or other commitments.

There is an uncomfortable vacancy out in the backyard.
It's the same painful emptiness I felt when Mr. Harvey died.
I put our dog down Thursday.
Our other dog keeps going out there--looking for her. He feels the void.
It's very painful. More painful than I ever imagined.
Mike and I got married in the spring of 2006. After we finally moved into a little rent house with a yard, the itch to get a dog soon set in.
The Friday after Thanksgiving, with nothing to do, I twisted my husband's arm into driving out to the animal shelter.
We made several rounds, looking at all the dogs. They have mini enclosures out back where you can "test out" a canine. I think we walked two dogs. But the key ingredients of chemistry and connection were missing. Before leaving, I begged to make one more round.
We spotted her immediately. Where did she come from? How had we missed her? She was white with light brown ears and a pink nose. She was sweet and calm.
We took her out to the enclosure. She put her front paws in my lap and settled in.
Best $90 we ever spent.
A worker passed by and said, "Oh, are you taking that sweet pointer?"
The check-out lady then told us her story:
Chloe (that was her given name) was transferred from another shelter. They didn't know anything about her history, except it was obvious she'd had a couple of litters. She had a terrible infection in her uterus. Being an older dog (six years old) and a stray, she should have been euthanized. But the vet on call that day took a chance and fixed her up.
We brought her home to our little bungalow and she fell right in sync. She was our first baby.
She would have been 15 in November.
The vet had said yes.
We said yes.
That yes led to 9 more years of a happy life.
When most would have said no--she was old, damaged. Second hand. Used.
Even the smallest yes . . . .
Yes. Let's be friends.
Yes. I will marry you.
Yes. Let's try to have a baby.
Yes. Let's adopt.
Yes. Let's move.
Yes. I'll take the job.
With all the opportunity that a yes can open up--our hearts open too. Open hearts, open to love--they are vulnerable. There will be pain. It's always a risk to say yes. God knows this. He's felt it. All of it.
The pain is worth it. Never let the fear of pain make you say NO.
Friendships will be betrayed.
Love will grow cold.
Divorce will happen.
Miscarriages will occur.
Rejection is evident.
Disasters will take place.
Dogs will need to be put down.
Love anyway. Take the risk.
Let's just say more of that.
I follow Susie's Senior Dogs on Facebook. I saw the sweet story of Rusty, a 13 year old dog who was adopted finally, only to succumb to cancer 4 1/2 months later:
Rusty was originally scheduled to be euthanized at the shelter. And that was almost the way Rusty left this earth. But thanks to his mom, Lisa, who drove two hours to give this boy a different ending, Rusty left this earth as a respected and valued family member instead. We are ever grateful that for the last 4.5 months of Rusty's life, perhaps his most important months of life, he was able to know love thanks to Lisa and her family's decision to bring him home and care for him.
"I don't for one second regret our decision to save him and bring him into our family. He had brought so much joy and happiness into our home-and that's something I'll never fully be able to repay him for.
He has shown me what true unconditional love can be and how strong of a dog he was. He had no reasons left to love or trust-but he did it anyway and he did it willingly. I'm so thankful for the last few months with him, but I know I'll truly never be the same. For his last few hours with us, he was spoiled with steak and endless treats. Thank you for featuring his amazing story on Susie’s Senior Dogs- we tried not to let it get to his head too much."
Rusty's original post: http://on.fb.me/1ZImfJJ
Yes. Love--no matter how small or short--is ALWAYS WORTH IT.

Think about the setting, sort of type, characters, age, brushing demands and also more. Several pet rescue teams use a variety of pups, both for fostering as well as to be foster residences for various other animals. If your location has numerous animal shelters, contact the pet rescue team for more details on puppies offer for sale. Be sure to bring a photo along when you see their center to get a feel for the sort of breed you’re thinking about. You ought to also ask about spaying and also neutering, inoculations, silicon chip and also collar tags. The majority of sanctuaries need that you be 18 years or older, unless the shelter is an authorized affiliate of the American Kennel Club. Several neighborhood family pet stores additionally have a puppy area. Be sure to ask if the young puppies up for sale have actually been evaluated for temperament, wellness problems and other traits. Additionally, ask if they are certified by AKC as well as CERF. CERF accreditation implies the breeder has actually been accepted by CERF to take part in a CERF examination for lasting breeding. If the puppies are not from CERF-certified breeders, it is best to go elsewhere. One place to check out for young puppies for sale is at local feed stores. The animal shops typically have actually a section dedicated to young puppies available. Commonly these are the young puppies that were utilized by the staff at the shop as show canines. These dogs may have been bred at a studbook or have been previous winners of prominent competitors. Nevertheless, be wary of pet stores that offer young puppies that have actually been bred abroad due to the fact that the pets might not have actually been provided the wellness testings and also inoculations required by their countries of origin. The pet shops are likewise likely to sell pups over one year old, because this is when they are the most healthy. If none of the above alternatives job, you may be able to situate pure-blooded puppies up for sale from dog breeders that agree to ship internationally. Some dog breeders will even deliver young puppies to your country so you can be sure they are purebred. Ask the dog breeder just how old the puppies are when you make your purchase as well as if they intend on marketing the puppies in your area or nationally. They must provide you every one of the relevant information. Contact the breeder with any kind of inquiries you have before making your purchase. Dog breeders who market young puppies that are not true German Guards or Chihuahuas will usually hesitate to address any type of concerns regarding these canines. When it involves young puppies available or rescue, the process is commonly much less complicated than when searching for full-blooded German Guards or Chihuahuas. Most notably, there is generally no fostering cost meaning you do not have to invest thousands of dollars to discover a new pet dog. If you do decide to embrace a German Guard or Chihuahua, you will certainly be doing an excellent service to these pets. They need all the help they can get and no person else can do it fairly like a sanctuary or dog breeder can.


Swissy dogs are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they’re prone to certain health conditions. Not all Swissy dogs will get any or all of these diseases, but it’s important to be aware of them if you’re considering this breed.
If you’re buying a puppy, find a good breeder who will show you health clearances for both your puppy’s parents. Health clearances prove that a dog has been tested for and cleared of a particular condition.
In Swissy dogs, you should expect to see health clearances from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for hip dysplasia (with a score of fair or better), elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and von Willebrand’s disease; from Auburn University for thrombopathia; and from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) certifying that eyes are normal. You can confirm health clearances by checking the OFA web site (offa.org).
- Hip Dysplasia: This is an inherited condition in which the thighbone doesn’t fit snugly into the hip joint. Some dogs show pain and lameness on one or both rear legs, but others don’t display outward signs of discomfort. (X-ray screening is the most certain way to diagnose the problem.) Either way, arthritis can develop as the dog ages. Dogs with hip dysplasia should not be bred — so if you’re buying a puppy, ask the breeder for proof that the parents have been tested for hip dysplasia and are free of problems.
- Elbow Dysplasia: Similar to hip dysplasia, this is also a degenerative disease. It’s believed to be caused by abnormal growth and development, which results in a malformed and weakened joint. The disease varies in severity: the dog could simply develop arthritis, or he could become lame. Treatment includes surgery, weight management, medical management, and anti-inflammatory medication.
- Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD): This orthopedic condition, caused by improper growth of cartilage in the joints, usually occurs in the elbows, but it has been seen in the shoulders as well. It causes a painful stiffening of the joint, to the point that the dog is unable to bend his elbow. It can be detected in dogs as early as four to nine months of age. Overfeeding of “growth formula” puppy foods or high-protein foods may contribute to its development.
- Patellar Luxation: Also known as slipped stifles. The patella is the kneecap. Luxation means dislocation of an anatomical part (as a bone at a joint). Patellar luxation is when the knee joint (often of a hind leg) slides in and out of place, causing pain. This can be crippling, although many dogs lead relatively normal lives with this condition.
- Gastric Torsion: Also called bloat, this is a life-threatening condition that can affect large, deep-chested dogs such as the Swissy. This is especially true if they are fed one large meal a day, eat rapidly, drink large volumes of water after eating, and exercise vigorously after eating. Bloat is more common among older dogs. GDV occurs when the stomach is distended with gas or air and then twists (torsion). The dog is unable to belch or vomit to rid himself of the excess air in the stomach, and the normal return of blood to the heart is impeded. Blood pressure drops and the dog goes into shock. Without immediate medical attention, the dog can die. Suspect bloat if your dog has a distended abdomen and is salivating excessively and retching without throwing up. He also may be restless, depressed, lethargic, and weak, with a rapid heart rate. It’s important to get your dog to the vet as soon as possible if you see these signs.
- Splenic Torsion: This condition occurs when the spleen rotates, causing it to expand and become engorged with blood. The symptoms are not always obvious, but can include vomiting, fever, pale gums, and tenderness. Splenic torsion requires immediate veterinarian care and the surgical removal of the spleen is necessary.
- Cataracts: Cataracts cause opacity on the lens of the eye, resulting in poor vision. The dog’s eye(s) will have a cloudy appearance. Cataracts usually occur in old age and sometimes can be surgically removed to improve vision.
- Distichiasis: This is a condition in which extra eyelashes (cilia) grow from the glands of the upper or lower eyelid. A hair follicle develops deep within the glands rather than on the skin surface. As the hair grows, it follows the duct of the gland and exits from the gland opening along the smooth surface of the eyelid margin. In many cases, these eyelashes rub on the cornea, causing irritation and tearing, and occasionally corneal abrasions.
- Entropion: Entropion is an inward rolling of the eyelid. It usually affects the lower eyelid of both eyes, causing irritation and vision loss. It generally occurs before a dog turns a year old; surgery to correct the problem is usually held off until the dog reaches adulthood.
- Panosteitis: Commonly called Pano, this condition causes self-limiting lameness. At about five to 12 months of age, the dog may limp on one leg, then another, then it stops. There are usually no long-term effects. Rest and restricted activity may be necessary for a while if the dog’s in pain.
- Swissy Lick: This mysterious affliction causes the dog to start franticly licking or swallowing anything in sight. The cause is unknown, although it appears to be related to severe gastrointestinal pain. It’s treated with gas and acid-reducing medications. Swissy lick is more common among young dogs, but seniors can get it as well.

Deep-chested dogs are susceptible to gastric torsion; the dreaded “bloat”
Bloat, Torsion. Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). Call it what you will, this is a serious, life-threatening condition of large breed dogs. While the diagnosis is simple, the pathological changes in the dog’s body make treatment complicated, expensive, and not always successful.
A typical scenario starts with a large, deep-chested dog, usually fed once daily. Typical breeds affected are Akita, Great Dane, German Shepherd, St. Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, and Irish Setter. Sighthounds, Doberman Pinschers, Weimaraners, Bloodhounds, other similar breeds, and large, deep-chested mixed breeds are also affected.
Factor in the habit of bolting food, gulping air, or drinking large amounts of water immediately after eating to this feeding schedule and body type. Then add vigorous exercise after a full meal, and you have the recipe for bloat.
Of course, the fact that not all bloats happen in just the same way and the thought that some bloodlines are more at risk than others further complicates the issue.
Simple gastric distention can occur in any breed or age of dog and is common in young puppies who overeat. This is sometimes referred to as pre-bloat by laymen. Belching of gas or vomiting food usually relieves the problem.
If this condition occurs more than once in a predisposed breed, the veterinarian might discuss methods to prevent bloat, such as feeding smaller meals or giving Reglan (metoclopramide) to encourage stomach emptying. Some veterinarians recommend, and some owners request, prophylactic surgery to anchor the stomach in place before the torsion occurs in dogs who have experienced one or more bouts of distention or in dogs whose close relatives have had GDV.
The physiology of bloat
Torsion or volvulus are terms to describe the twisting of the stomach after gastric distention occurs. The different terms are used to define the twisting whether it occurs on the longitudinal axis (torsion) or the mesenteric axis (volvulus). Most people use the terms interchangeably, and the type of twist has no bearing on the prognosis or treatment. When torsion occurs, the esophagus is closed off, limiting the dog’s ability to relieve distention by vomiting or belching. Often the spleen becomes entrapped as well, and its blood supply is cut off.
Now a complex chain of physiologic events begins. The blood return to the heart decreases, cardiac output decreases, and cardiac arrythmias may follow. Toxins build up in the dying stomach lining. The liver, pancreas, and upper small bowel may also be compromised. Shock from low blood pressure and endotoxins rapidly develops. Sometimes the stomach ruptures, leading to peritonitis.
Abdominal distention, salivating, and retching are the hallmark signs of GDV. Other signs may include restlessness, depression, lethargy, anorexia, weakness, or a rapid heart rate.
GDV is a true emergency. If you know or even suspect your dog has bloat, immediately call your veterinarian or emergency service. Do not attempt home treatment.
Do take the time to call ahead.; while you are transporting the dog, the hospital staff can prepare for your arrival. Do not insist on accompanying your dog to the treatment area. Well-meaning owners are an impediment to efficient care. Someone will be out to answer your questions as soon as possible, but for now, have faith in you veterinarian and wait.
Initial diagnosis may include x-rays, an ECG, and blood tests, but treatment will probably be started before the test results are in.
The first step is to treat shock with IV fluids and steroids. Antibiotics and anti-arrythmics may also be started now. Then the veterinarian will attempt to decompress the stomach by passing a stomach tube. If this is successful, a gastric levage may be instituted to wash out accumulated food, gastric juices, or other stomach contents. In some cases, decompression is accomplished by placing large-bore needles or a trochar through the skin and muscle and directly into the stomach.
In some cases, this medical therapy is sufficient. However, in many cases, surgery is required to save the dog. Once the dog’s condition is stabilized, surgery to correct the stomach twist, remove any unhealthy tissue, and anchor the stomach in place is performed. The gastroplexy, or anchoring surgery, is an important procedure to prevent recurrence, and many variations exist. Your veterinarian will do the procedure he feels comfortable with and which has the best success rate
Recovery is prolonged, sometimes requiring hospital stays of a week or more. Post-operative care depends on the severity of the disease and the treatment methods employed and may include a special diet, drugs to promote gastric emptying, and routine wound management. Costs may run $500-1000 or more in complicated cases.
Clearly, prevention of GDV is preferable to treatment. In susceptible breeds, feed two or three meals daily and discourage rapid eating. Do not allow exercise for two hours after a meal. As previously mentioned, some owners feel that certain bloodlines are at greater risk and choose to have gastroplexy performed as a prophylactic measure.
While the genetics of GDV are not completely worked out, most breeders and veterinarians feel there is some degree of heritability. Therefore, while prophylactic gastroplexy will probably help an individual dog, it makes sense not to breed dogs who are affected or who are close relatives of those suffering from GDV.

Dog Dental Floss -Instructions
Dogs also need brushing and flossing regularly, just like humans. They help to reduce and prevent bad breath and tooth decay. But, one may face difficulty to floss dog’s teeth. In this article, there are some instructions which will help to floss your dog’s teeth.
Instructions for dog dental floss
- Choose a easiest way to floss your dogs teeth. Purchase a floss bone which looks like a rope. These bones contain fluoride and baking soda, which helps to clean the teeth by killing the microorganisms.
- Allow your veterinarian to use anesthesia for your dog to clean the teeth, as it makes it drowsy and unconscious. This helps flossing your dog’s teeth easy and also helps to remove the hardened tartar or calculus very easily.
- Purchase a regular dental floss for your dog without any flavor along with dog toothpaste. One can also coat the dog’s dental floss with a thin film or layer of toothpaste. Consider allowing your dog to taste it, as it tastes good, it likes it and allows to do flossing.
- Start flossing your dog’s front teeth first as they are easy to access. Continue with the adjacent teeth and with the rear back teeth as the dog becomes comfortable.
- To avoid the build up of food residue inside your dog’s mouth, offer it with treats after flossing a few teeth. For treats one can use canine Popsicles, offer them after the floss of every few teeth.
- Reward your dog after completing the dental floss with a play or walk.
These are a few instructions which can follow during their dog dental floss.

Help Your Pet Avoid Kidney Disease With CBD Oil For Cats
Have you ever wondered if CBD oil for cats kidney disease is a good idea? Cats are actually good candidates for taking CBD because of its proven health benefits. Cats are prone to develop kidney disease and are at the highest risk in the aging cat population. If your cat has developed kidney problems, then you need to find out the underlying cause before moving forward with any treatment. The question you need to ask yourself is “Is this kidney disease causing the problem or is there something else that needs attention.”
The two most common types of kidney disease in cats are urolithiasis and kidney stones. Urolothiasis is caused by infections of the bladder and kidneys. It can be a life threatening condition but thankfully is seldom fatal. Kidney stones, on the other hand, are produced when there is an excess of crystallized toxins in the urine. This can occur as a result of genetics, diet, or other reasons and is potentially fatal unless treated rapidly.
Cats with kidney disease have a build up of fluid in the urine which narrows the filtering pathways in the kidney. Once the kidneys start filtering less fluid they can get clogged. Blocked filters eventually lead to kidney stones and if left untreated can cause death within 2 weeks. This is why it is so important to find the underlying cause before considering treatment options for your cat.
So, if you have a cat with cat’s kidney disease what should you do? First of all, stop giving your cat any pharmaceutical medications and start giving him a natural remedy that will address the problem. The only thing your cat needs to stay healthy is clean water and a regular dose of food grade CBD oil. Give this to him once or twice per day and monitor his health to make sure he is responding well.
Natural Remedies For Cats With Kidney Disease like CBD oil are not addictive. Unlike prescription drugs, they do not affect your cat’s judgment. You will not be able to tell if your cat has had an accident or not. Unlike prescription drugs, there are no reported serious side effects associated with using CBD oil to help pets avoid kidney problems. They are completely safe and effective.
Just a few drops of CBD oil will do the trick if you think your cat might be having problems with his kidneys. You can give your cat a treat once or twice a day while he is taking this natural remedy, or you can put a small amount on a piece of gauze and place it under his tongue. He will then lick it will dissolve into his system. You never know what effect this little bit could have.
If your vet thinks your cat may have kidney problems, he will most likely recommend a procedure called “arterial embolization.” This procedure is when a large vein is blocked and is causing the animal discomfort. CBD oil can be used to help fight off the problem as well. Once your vet prescribes this treatment, the effects can be dramatic.
As more pets are experiencing the unfortunate effects of kidney disease, natural products are starting to replace traditional medicine. People are starting to understand how serious these problems can be for pets and are looking for alternative solutions. Natural treatments such as CBD oil can save the life of your pet and reduce his risk of kidney failure. This is why it is vital that people learn about the powerful benefits of CBD for cats and how it can help pets avoid dialysis or kidney disease. Once you educate yourself on these powerful and natural alternatives, you may be shocked at just how much it can improve the quality of your pet’s life. In addition to CBD oil, make sure you give your pet plenty of healthy food, plenty of water, and get him to go to the vet regularly.


Bahya Sanctuary – ‘Until all Allah’s creations are loved & respected.’ (slogan)
Who are you?
We are a non-profit Sanctuary located in Bahya. Bahya Sanctuary is focusing on humane education and animal rescue in the United Arab Emirates. We are currently housing over 70 cats, around 10 dogs, 5 donkeys, 2 ponies and 3 desert hedgehogs. It is our aim to educate about the Animal Welfare in the U.A.E. and to rescue and rehome animals.
Who is behind Bahya Sanctuary?
The owner of Bahya Sanctuary is an Emirati-Turkish family. Having a huge passion for animals, they have offered their land as a safe home to so many animals. Three of our volunteers are constantly organizing events, updating the Facebook page, and rescuing animals all over the Emirates. We also have two care-takers, Paul and Albert, who are making sure that our animals are well taken care of.
We work hand in hand and everyone does what they are best at, it’s working out very well and we have grown to become a little family.
What happens at your Open Days?
Our Sanctuary is open to visitors every second Saturday of the month all year long. The Open days give people the opportunity to spend a fun day out at a farm, cuddling our dogs and cats and feeding our equines. Whether they miss their animals back home or they don’t have the time to have their own pets, we are giving people the opportunity to spend their afternoon with animals in a peaceful environment.
Children all ages are welcome.
Which one was your worst rescue story so far?
The worst dog we have rescued was an Alaskan Malamute at the beginning of December 2014. We have rescued many animals over the years, also very bad cases but this dog was definitely the worst.
The Alaskan Malamute – now called Snow was dumped by his owner in Dubai; by luck, two of our volunteers were in Dubai that night and picked him up. He was hours away from death, we thought he had already given up on life, with only 23kg, while a fully grown husky has around 40kg he was only half the weight he should be. He had thousands of ticks on him, so many that he did not have enough blood in his body anymore. It has taken us and the vets and nurses 6 days to remove all of them. After lots of treatment and blood transfusions Snow was allowed to leave the vets after a week and is now safe and happy at the Sanctuary. Thankfully many people read Snow’s story and helped us with his vet bills. Snow is now at the Sanctuary recovering and growing back his beautiful coat. We are hoping to find him a wonderful home in the future.
Do you need volunteers?
Yes we always need help around the Sanctuary, volunteers are more than welcome. We need people to help us keep our cats socialized and to increase their chance to get rehomed, to groom our equines, and there is always lots of work around the Sanctuary, it never gets boring.
We also offer students to do their voluntary work at the Sanctuary.
Bahya Sanctuary is also looking for photographers and videographers to take pictures of our Open Days and our animals.
We offer monthly voluntary introductions for new volunteers. For more information please visit our Facebook page.
Where exactly are you located and how can people find you?
We are about 5 minutes away from Deerfields Townsquare in between the Bahya Farms. On our Facebook page we have an album with a map, but you can also find us on Google map under ‘Bahya Sanctuary Abu Dhabi’.
What’ are your plans for the future?
Dog Socializing Days
In the future we will offer two monthly dog socializing days. We will have dog trainers attending the event in order to help people with their dogs.
An agility course will be set up for the 4 legged friends, sponsored by Waggie Box.
As there is no official dog walking locations in Abu Dhabi, it’s very difficult for people to socialize their dogs or let them run off leash in secure areas. Bahya Sanctuary is a fully fenced and safe farm and dogs are able to get used to different animals, people and situations. I personally think this will make a huge difference for dog owners in the UAE. As they get the chance to socialize their dogs and meet other dog owners with the same interest.
These doggy days will also give rescue organizations the opportunity to find homes for their foster dogs.
Humane Education for Students
In 2015 we are also starting humane education in schools and universities. School classes will be visiting our Sanctuary and learn about our rescue animals and the animal welfare in the United Arab Emirates. We believe that it is very important to teach our future compassion and love towards all of Allah’s creations.
You can find us on Facebook here.

Over the weekend, Alex and I excitedly embarked on the first step of the surprisingly long process to get a cat. Since Alex has a huge apartment, we decided to get him not one, but two cats to keep him company.
The whole process started on Saturday when Alex and I took a trip over to the D.C. Humane Society. I have never been much of a cat person, but after holding and playing with a series of cats, they definitely grew on me. We ultimately narrowed our choices down to Cherry (above) and Pumpkin (below), with Pickles as the alternate. I thought from that point, the Humane Society would see if the two cats played well together, and we would be well on our way. Wrong.
Alex had to fill out a questionnaire that had asked him questions on his moral stance on issues like de-clawing (apparently a big no if you want to adopt a cat). After he finished filling out all 5 pages, the Humane Society told us that they would give us a call.
Since Saturday, Alex has had a phone interview, the Humane Society has called Alex's boss, and they are scheduling a home visit in the next day or so. I know that they are just trying to find a good home for these cats, but really? I cannot imagine what people have to go through to adopt a child.
Anyway, if all goes well, Alex could be the proud papa of Cherry and Pumpkin by the end of this week, and I will get visitation rights. We are not sure if we are going to keep the names or not, but we realized today that they are both pie-related. If anything, we hope that is a good sign that the cats will get along and we will all be a happy family.


Only 1 size of The Pet Net Plus remains (Medium) as we have been transitioning to our new model, The Great Divide®. The Great Divide improves upon The Pet Net Plus offering wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling coverage, our ultimate design goal.
The Pet Net Plus
We heard from customers the main drawback of the original Pet Net design is the need for attachment points in the right places. This is particularly true for installation in a rear cargo area. Also, in some vehicles the attachment points are too low and a "motivated" dog may try to jump over the barrier. We listened! The Pet Net Plus was designed specifically to address these two issues. With its self-supporting framework, The Pet Net Plus needs only headrests for
installation and when installed it will reach nearly to the ceiling. With 7 sizes available, choose the size that best fits the width of your vehicle.
