I really wanted to give this book zero stars. I'm planning on returning this book. The description is totally misleading because it is so totally negative about anyone even thinking about toilet training a dog to go indoors instead of being walked outside. The book is totally unforgiving about ANY reason what so ever you may have, without exception, in regards to having your dog or puppy relieve him/her-self indoors. It basically states that if you cannot take your dog outdoors, then don't bother getting a dog and get a cat instead. If everyone went by this book, I think there would be alot of poor dogs without homes that now live in apts, handicapped owners, working owners. I'm going to litter train my dog, without any help from this book!
Customer Review: If you work during the day, pick a different book
I just recently got a Puggle and wanted some advice on house training. The author was very rude about owners who work. I am out of the house most of the day at work. The author believes that if you are out of the house for the entire day then you should just get a cat. Apparently working "Mom's" don't have the right to have a dog. I didn't even read past that part and I wish I could have returned the book. Most people don't have the luxury of staying home all day. The author should recognize that rescuing a dog and having it in a nice cage with toys and a fluffy blanket is better than sitting in a cold, empty, cement cage at the pound. I suggest picking a different book where the author is not as judgmental.
What do you do if you suspect urinary tract infection in dogs? Do not panic. While urinary tract infection in dogs can cause your pet pain and discomfort, it does not mean your pet is going to die. Canine urinary tract infection is serious and needs immediate veterinarian diagnosis and treatment.
A UTI starts in the urinary tract and can spread through out the entire body if not treated in time. In order to protect you pet against infection you can use natural remedies. You will need to know some of the signs of urinary tract infection in dogs to determine whether or not your pet needs veterinarian attention.
Is you dog experiencing pain or difficulty urinating? You might notice your dog whining during urination. Watch to see if your pet is more thirsty than usual. Check your pets urine for signs of blood, pus, or crystals. This is information that the veterinarian will ask about. The vet will usually prescribe antibiotics if the infection is severe enough.
Veterinarians know that medications have severe side effects and may offer advice on alternative remedies. Homeopathic treatment methods can treat the current infection, prevent recurring infection, promote urinary tract health and they have no side effects.
After the initial diagnosis and treatment is prescribed, you will still need to monitor your pet closely. Notice any side effects or signs that the infection did not go away. After your pet remains stable it is important to get a follow up vet check up.
One of the things that a vet will offer his advice on is your pets' diet. It is important that your pets' diet is formulated to meet its lifestyle needs. Fresh, clean drinking water needs to be accessible at all the time and frequent "potty" trips around the yard. Diet and exercise are important factors in your pets over all health. Urinary tract infection in dogs can be safely treated and you pet can be healthy again.
