With the recent recalls of commercial dog food, it is time to assess your dog's health. And if you consider your pet dog to be part of the family, then it is time to improve the health of your dog.

If you are not aware by now, most commercial dog food contains meat 'by products' which are often unwanted parts of an animal. What's left is the bones, tendons, cartilage, beaks, feet and innards.

Also, the cooking process used in pet foods KILLS off a vital component: enzymes.

Enzymes are necessary in the breaking down the food for digestion. And since it is 'cooked away', it adds the entire burden for digestion on your pet's pancreas to supply the enzymes necessary for breaking down nutrients for absorption!

No wonder the dog's are not living to their fullest potential.

If you want your dog to live longer, listed below are "Dog Food Secrets" to boost a dog's health-

1) A balanced proportion of nutrients that consists of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, healthy fats and minerals. These nutrients are essential for growth and development in a dog.

Too much or too little nutrients will harm a dog's health.

2) Protein is one of the most important nutrients, and a healthy dog diet must contain a minimum of 40% protein diet. The amino acid in protein is beneficial for muscle development and regulation of antibodies.

Meat, fish and soy beans are great sources of protein.

3) Carbohydrates is considered an energy component in a dog's diet. Sources of carbohydrates
can be found in rice, oatmeal, corn, yams, sweet potatoes and wheat.

Brown rice is an excellent source of highly digestible carbohydrates dietary fiber that is gentle on the stomach.

A recommended range of 40-60% of carbohydrates are essential for your dogs health.

However, too much carbohydrates is harmful to a dog's health, as excess carbohydrates will be stored as fat which leads to obesity and maldigestion, and other health problems.

4) Healthy animal fatty acids such as omega 3 and omega 6 is another requirement for a healthy dog food.

Omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids promotes a healthy skin and shiny coat, and also reduces the likelihood of inflammation and blood clotting.

Sources of fatty acids can be found in vegetable oil, fish and meat.

5) Dogs requires good doses of vitamins and minerals; it is an absolute nutritional necessity for dogs.

Without sufficient vitamins and minerals, your dog's health will suffer and as a result will be vulnerable to a range of diseases.

Vitamins and minerals are good sources for muscle development and fighting diseases.

6) Like humans, dogs must drink plenty of water. Water not only helps to regulate a dog's body temperature, it is also beneficial for digestion and transportation of nutrients

A healthy dog food is necessary to maintain a dog's health and improving it.

At times, not knowing what to feed a dog can be difficult, but with the recent pet food recall it is more important than ever that the quality of food for a dog is paramount.

Serious illness can overcome a seemingly healthy dog in a short while without proper observation and prompt action. Detecting early signs of illness is essential for proper care and treatment of most canine maladies. Dogs, like humans will exhibit common signs such as lethargy, weakness, and irritability.

Dogs overcome by illness will walk slowly, sleep often, and walk with their ears and tails down. Gray and cloudy eyes, discolored nose or tongue, or discharges from their ears and other areas should alert you to problems. Don't take chances with their health, as many canine ailments will overcome them in a much shorter time than human ailments will to you or I.

The quickest way to determine if your dog is sick is to look at their nose which should be clear and free of any discharge. Vomiting and diarrhea are also signs of a stomach or digestive condition. Slow and Labored breathing and movements, especially when attempting to stand up can be a sign of organ or kidney failure and should be addressed immediately with your veterinarian.

While bathing or handling your dog be sure to check the skin for injury, bruising, or hair loss. Excessive scratching, problems with walking and balance, and frequent urination can be caused by a variety of bacterial infections. The general mood or energy of the dog can be a great gauge of their health. Any sudden drop in activity or excessive sleeping should be noted and communicated to your veterinarian immediately.

Healthy dogs will have clean skin, bright eyes, and a pink tongue and gums free of unusual colors or discharge. Their temperature will be around 102, and will take about 20 steady breaths per minute. They will be able to jump to their feet on command with little or no difficulty. Their bowel movements should be consistent, and they will have a good appetite.

Remember that you and only you are the first line of defense against any disease that your dog may struggle against. Constant care and awareness of your pet and their health will ensure their long and happy existence.

The Lady With a Little Dog

In this adaptation of a story by Russian great Anton Chekhov, the chance meeting of Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna on vacation in Yalta leads to a serious relationship... but he is married, and she is committed to her family.
Customer Review: A flawless adaptation of a literature masterpiece
The Lady with the Little Dog is arguably Chekhov's best short story, and probably one of the greatest short stories ever written. I realize this is quite a statement to make, but, notwithstanding my opinion, it has been also the opinion of countless literary critics since the publication of the story. The challenge to faithfully render it on the screen was indeed a daunting task. No less than Nikita Milkalko directed a film, Dark Eyes, featuring Marcello Mastroianni, Silvana Mangano, and Marthe Keller, which was based on the same Chekhov story, but maybe Milkalko wisely stayed away from a straight adaptation of the work. Film director Josif Heifitz, sure of himself, went ahead with the adaptation of The Lady with the Little Dog, an intimidating task, and succeeded. Of course, it did not hurt that Heifitz had been a great admirer of Chekhov's work since his childhood, and considered him his mentor. And of course, nobody without a velikaya russkaya dusha, a great Russian soul, could have rendered this work. To a Russian, his soul is something more than what a Westerner drags to church on Sundays and holidays. It is hard to explain the Russian soul, but as they say, I cannot tell you what it is but I know it when I see it. Andrei Moskvin and Dmitry Meskhiyev's black and white photography is exquisite in rendering the atmosphere of the film, from its opening with the lethargic atmosphere of Yalta, to the snowy Moscow winter, and the pathetic, frozen atmosphere of its conclusion. Heitfitz' succeeds at reproducing Chekhov's style and symbols. As rapid cuttings distinguish the story's narrative technique, the camera often jumps to new scenes without warning. These cuts and jumps through time give a sense of the suddenness and unexpectedness of Anna and Gurov's illicit love affair, their falling in love, their settling into their new life, where much has to be improvised to maintain the relationship. Nature and the sea are important symbols in Chekhov's work and are portrayed in the film through lyrical long shots of the sea at sunset and the nearby hills at Yalta. The two protagonists sit silently, reflecting from their vantage point on the birth of their love affair, lost in the continuum of eternity. "...Yes, when you stop to think, the whole world is wonderful -- everything, except what we ourselves think and do when we forget the higher aims of existence and our human dignity" says Gurov. Heitfitz uses a variety of shots appropriate for each scene. Close shots and close ups emphasize the moments of psychological drama. The dialogue is, as in Chekhov, minimal, and never more than is necessary. Only few words convey the emotional complexity of the characters, preserving the intensity of their feelings. As with Chekhov, the Yalta seduction scene in Anna's room, or any of the intimate scenes later on, is not shown. In that respect, Chekhov/Heifitz followed the Russian mores of the time, knowing full well that had Chekhov dared to innovate, it would have never passed the censor's pen. One also notes the great care taken with the period details, such as costumes, carriages, and the physiognomy of the actors. The acting of the two main characters, Iya Savvina and Aleksei Batalov, is "on the mark." She is young, fragile, and innocent, and he, reserved, sophisticated, and aristocratic. Anna was Savvina's first role. She went on to appear in twenty-seven more films, her last one, Trotsky, in 1993. Batalov has appeared in more than thirty-four films, including Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (1979). The other two lesser characters appear only briefly: Nina Alisova, as Gurov's wife is sullen, and Pantelejmon Krymov in the role of Anna's husband, indeed looks like a "lackey." The lyrical music by Nadezhda Simonian, like the dialogue, is used relatively sparingly. A romantic love theme appears throughout the film with different tempi, underscoring the different situations, and in several scene transitions. The themes are love, and the Russian society in the late 19th century. The Lady with the Little Dog is a love story between two people who started in life on the wrong footing, for whatever reasons, as most of us do. To understand the story, we have to speculate as to what had happened to these two characters before the story opens. She is an aristocratic Russian woman, and thus was destined to marry, for love if she was lucky, but most likely without love, just to fulfill her role in society, to raise a family and be the centerpiece of that family. So, Anna followed her destiny. Gurov is an older aristocrat, from the big city, a well-established member of the Moscovite society, married with children. He is a man, and therefore in (relative) control of his life, and as a man of his time, looks down on women, but at the same time, enjoys their companionship. For that epoch, at forty years of age, he is at the twilight of his womanizing years. Anna and Gurov meet and start an intimate relationship, each for a different reason. Anna wants to escape her boring, dreary small town provincial life. To Gurov, Anna may represent one of his last chances, if not the very last, to seduce a young woman who will rejuvenate him, invigorate his life. His life is turned upside down, as the seducer is himself seduced, hoisted upon his own petard. But love does not rescue Anna and Gurov from their stale marriages, nor does it improve their lives. Of course, divorce at that time and in that society was totally out of the question. At the end of the film, nothing is said about their future. It would seem that their relationship may continue, with their occasional assignations in seedy hotels, a couple caught "...like a pair of birds of passage. They've been caught and forced into separate cages." (Anna) Neither of them is brave or strong enough to fly free, "It seemed that in a little while a solution would offer itself, a new, lovely life would begin." (Gurov) We can only speculate and draw our own conclusion.

How many homeowners normally leave their dog in the backyard or they have full time access to the backyard through a doggie door. You're probably wondering how can a little dog create a remodeling nightmare for any contractor.

This wasn't the case this dog was a large Labrador retriever and tore up everything in the backyard constantly. The house remodel we were working on was a two story room addition over a single story house. This job lasted around six months and the dog was a daily reminder of how much attention a large dog actually needs.

Let's start with the first item of value the dog actually destroyed. It was my favorite tool bags of course that I have taken care of for over five years and deeply appreciated the fact that they were broke in just the way I wanted them to be. Kind of like a baseball mitt that doesn't quite fit right because of how stiff it is until you break it in.

While the homeowner of course apologized and never even offered to replace them. Oh but after that he did mention never to leave anything lying around in the backyard. Lesson learned of course and never forgotten. Well to make a long story short this large dog could chew up tools, lumber, plumbing pipes, electrical wire and was even able to destroyed the plywood fencing we would use to keep him away.

I'm going to stop right there with the remodeling nightmare created from this dog in hopes that other contractors can learn from my valuable lesson. As a contractor you should never assume that a homeowner will replace any damaged or broken tools and materials.

As a homeowner with a dog reading this article, think about having a place to enclose the dog if necessary while remodeling work is done on your home.

I love being around dogs and other animals but sometimes a problem like this can make life extremely miserable for both parties.

Greg Vanden Berge has been building and remodeling for over 30 years and his information has proven valuable to most contractors and homeowners all over the world. He usually tries to write at least two articles a day on home improvement or remodeling problems.

Greg is in the process right now of working on a home inspection website that will revolutionize the home inspection business. He is also working on a book to help homeowners and contractors as well as other home related professions in dealing with the home inspection process.

You probably did not realize it at the time that you purchased your new puppy that he was a hyper active breed. Now you are at a loss of how to deal with him and his hyper activity. Dealing with a dog that is hyper active can be a challenge, but is not impossible. Here are three things that I had to do to help with my hyper active dog.

The first thing that I did to help cope with my hyperactive dog was take him walking. Granted I would have to walk him quite a bit to get him wore out, but at the same time I was getting to walk as well. The problem was that he was so hyper that he would actually tug at the leash very hard. Now this was not bad when he was a puppy, but he did grow into a large dog because he is an English Mastiff which is normally not a hyper dog, but he was because he had playmates. So as he was growing I discovered I was getting drug behind him more often.

The second step that I had to do to help control my hyper active dog's behavior was I had to start obedience training with him. The obedience training taught me how to better control him with his hyper activity. The training actually helped calm him down to and helped with the socialization by him being around other dogs and people. Now the socialization helped tremendously calm his hyper activity when we went to the park because he was no longer afraid of strangers nor was he dragging me around to go meet new people he knew that we would get to them eventually.

The third thing that I found to help out was teaching him to exercise. Now most of the books advise not to over exercise them or play with them to much because it could lead to arthritis so I heeded that advice. I would only exercise him about ten to fifteen minutes per day and then I would only do this once or twice a week. If your yard is big enough and you are able to trust your dog well enough I would take stock in tennis balls because my dog loves chasing them around the yard. The exercise helps wear him out for the remainder of the day that we exercised on, but like I said before you cannot do that every day because of the possibility of arthritis development, check with your veterinarian first for this to make sure your dog can even stand exercise.

Dealing with a hyperactive dog is not difficult just a challenge at first. The first thing that you can try is walking to wear him out, then you might need to have him in obedience classes to help teach him more, and finally you can teach him to exercise with games or other venues that you have available. As always though before starting any exercise program or walking program you will need to check with your veterinarian to assure your dog is ready for that activity.

I live in Ohio with my wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I have two English Mastiff puppies, a Lab-Retriever, and a Yorkie Poo. I also have two cats who came to us as strays. I love sewing, crocheting, and managing to take care of my zoo at the house. Since I have so many pets I have a strong interest in animal issues.

Walter el perro pedorrero: Walter the Farting Dog, Spanish-Language Edition (Spanish Edition)

We hold this truth to be self-evident: farting makes kids laugh. Walter, an apologetic-looking dog adopted from the pound, passes gas morning, noon, and night, no matter what he eats, whether it's a 25-pound bag of low-fart dog biscuits, cat food, or fried chicken. On the bright side, "If Uncle Irv let one slip, he just went and stood near Walter." When Father reaches the limit of his patience with Walter's flatulence, he decides the pooch is once again pound-bound, despite Betty and Billy's pleading. Poor Walter knows his days are numbered and "He resolved to hold in his farts forever." That very night, two burglars break into Walter's family's house, and (you can see where this is going) Walter gasses the burglars with a "hideous cloud" that forces them to drop their loot and run into the clutches of the police officers, "choking and gasping for air." The next morning Father and Mother discover Walter has saved the day--or at least their silverware and VCR. "And so the family learned to live with Walter, the hero dog. And that is the end of our tail." (Or is it? Fans will be pleased to discover the next book Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale.) Audrey Colman's highly stylized illustrations, imbued with a surreal, Monty Pythonesque collage look, are as absurdly comical as this silly story that is purely powered by natural gas. (Ages 5 to 8) --Karin Snelson
Customer Review: It's a fun story for the kids.
We bought the plush toy along with the book. as we read the book to the kids (age 4) they can see, and hear, Walter in action :) they love it.
Customer Review: Walter is Great.
Come on, my son's kindergarten teacher read it to them in class. It's a great story. Get over yourselves and read it for what it is. A dog who farts and has a family who loves him. Enough. We have all of the titles and I'll buy more. The boy likes to add his own farting noises when we read....via his mouth mind you....no one can fart that much on command, can they???? Wonderful book.

Having good teeth is not only important to humans it's also important to your dogs health. They deserve to have good dental care because their teeth are used not just for eating but also for cleaning and grooming themselves.

Just like humans a dog teeth can build up tartar or plaque which can cause gun disease. Gum disease is an infection resulting from increase of soft dental plaque on the outside of the teeth around the gums. The bacteria in dental plaque irritate the gum tissue if plaque is permitted to accumulate, will lead to infection in the bone around the teeth.

What effect does this have on your dog? You will notice the dog will have bad breath and the gums will become irritated, they will start to bleed and the dog will have oral pain, your dog could lose its appetite or drop food from its mouth while eating.

As a dog gets older they will require more dental care so that their teeth remain healthy,
so it is important to know that while they are still young, their teeth should already be properly taken care of.

Your dogs Diet

If you have a young dog start them on good quality dry foods. The crunchy texture helps the removal of plaque which moist foods are unable to. The crunchy feature also helps to stimulate the gums so that gum diseases are also prevented.

It is always best to consult your vet on the type of dental care you should be providing for your dog. Some breeds are more susceptible to dental problem than others and your vet can suggest the right food for them

Products For Dog Dental Care

There are many products on the market now available for your dogs dental health, from specially designed biscuits, chewing bones (such as pigs ears), toothpastes and tooth brushes. By using them it will decrease the chance of your dog getting gum or teeth disease. Always use specially prepared dog toothpaste. Because dogs can't rinse and spit after a brushing, the dog toothpaste must be safe for pets to swallow! Some human toothpaste contains detergents which can upset your dog's stomachs, and, in addition, large quantities of ingested fluoride can harm your dog. To go with the toothpaste you can use a regular brush or a finger brush. The finger brush can easily be placed over your finger so that it is easier to brush your dog's teeth. Consult your vet on what they recommend to be the most suitable for your dog's teeth. Your dog's teeth need to be cleaned at least twice a week. Do this and your dog will love you for it.

Dog Days: Dispatches from Bedlam Farm

In Dog Days, Jon Katz, the squire of Bedlam Farm, allows us to live our dreams of leaving the city for the country, and shares the unpredictable adventure of farm life. The border collies, the sheep, the chickens, the cat, the ram, and one surprisingly sociable steer named Elvis all contribute to the hum (and occasional roar) of Bedlam. On timeless summer days and in punishing winter storms, Katz continues his meditation on what animals can selflessly teach usand what we in turn owe to them. With good neighbors, a beautiful landscape, and tales of true love thrown in, Dog Days gives us not only marvelous animal stories but a rich portrait of the harmonious world that is Bedlam Farm.

Praise for Dog Days:

Anyone who has ever loved an animal, who owns a farm or even dreams of it, will read Dog Days with appreciation and a cathartic lump in his or her throat.
The Washington Post

Katz proves himself a Thoreau for modern times as he ponders the relationships between man and animals, humanity and nature, and the particularly smelly qualities of manure.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Katz constructs the perfect blend between self-revelation and his subtle brand of humor.
The Star-Ledger

City-dweller-turned-farmer Katz . . . returns with further adventures from his animal-filled upstate New York sheep farm. Charming.
People

The perfect summer book . . . You will not be disappointed.
The Philadelphia Inquirer

A new twist on the American dream.
The Christian Science Monitor

Thoroughly enchanting.
The Dallas Morning News
Customer Review: Loved it!
I have been a fan of Jon Katz since his Suburban Detective mysteries. I discovered one of his dog memoirs in an airport a few years ago, and since then I have collected them all, not to read all at once, but to save when I need a pick-me-up and know I will get some really fine writing. Dog Days may be my favorite of them all. (Of course, I probably feel that way about every installment right after I have read it.) I liked the "Dispatches" format, each chapter dealing with a particular topic or animal. It seems more leisurely. Jon Katz himself seems less frantic and more at ease in the skin of a country gentleman. I am absolutely astonished at the reviewers who judge Katz's decisions to put down or rehome an animal. He clearly agonizes over each decision, and he puts the animal's needs before his own. It is quite moving, really. Also his training methods are his own, and good for him. There is no one right way to train every dog, or even every dog of a given breed. I love how Katz studies the animal, analyzes the situation, and listens to the advice of people he thinks are smarter than him. Katz writes beautifully. I feel privileged to live in his life between the covers of each book.
Customer Review: /dog Days: Dispatches from Bedlam Farm
Jon Katz books are great gifts for owners of Border Collies. This sequal to The Dogs of Bedlam Farm was much appreciated.

Weave Poles can be the most challenging obstacle for you to teach and for your dog to learn. Many agility obstacles resemble natural obstacles that dogs could find out on a hike out in the woods, jumps, frames, and tunnels. Going over, under, or through things and places are natural for dogs,however, weaving the poles is not.

How do you teach an unnatural skill........with lots of patience, the right motivators for your dog, and a plan. There are many great methods to teach the weave poles. If you've gone to agility camps with several top instructors, you know that most have their own method . So, there is not one method that is the best or one method that produces the best weaving dog.

There are many methods of teaching weave poles. Some of these include, the Push-Pull method, the Angled Weave Approach, Chute Training, Two-Pole Method, Gate method, and more..........

How do you decide on which method to choose? Research each method and find out what you like about it and what you don't. What method are they teaching at your agility school? Most handlers just starting agility will teach the method being presented at their facility. If you attend a large agility school, sit in on some of the advanced classes and watch the skilled dogs weave. Ask those individuals how they taught their dog to weave. Most instructors have a preference of weave training, it may be the method they are teaching or it may not be.

Once you decide on a method, get the poles you want and then, outline a plan to train 5 minutes a day on weaves. Five minutes a day will take your dog much further than once a week in class. If you are into agility and want to progress, the weave poles are an absolute must to have at home.

Get your dog, grab his motivators, take a deep breath and go have fun for five minutes a day.

Every dog owner wants to ensure that his or her dog lives in the pink of health. It is only natural for us to wish for our dogs' good health because, after all, they are our best friends. However, despite of having the best interests in our minds, we often fail to give the right kind of health care for our dogs.

Read on to find out how you can keep your dog in the best of health:

Dogs have an in built ability to take a certain amount of care for themselves. There are a number of natural ways which keep the dog in great health. They are blessed with a natural healing system which, to a great extent, repairs cells, organs and molecules. This natural healing power is something that has ensured the dog's survival over the centuries, before man started embracing the dog into his daily life and devising ways to care for his pets. Since there is an in built natural care system in dogs, it is our duty to enhance it through our love and care, rather than repress this inherent quality through our artificial methods.

Natural healing in dogs is something that all of us have witnessed. If you see a skin injury in a dog, you will notice that it disappears after a time period of approximately two weeks. Yes, there is a certain amount of time required for the healing, but the healing does occur and it is something that happens beautifully and has the touch of Nature's perfection.

In order to take good care of your dog, you have to understand these natural health processes at first.

It is only through a thorough understanding of the natural processes which will show us the way of taking good care of our dogs. Every single day, the dog's body is repairing some kind of minor damage or the other. The numerous cells, organs and molecules in the dog's body are quick to sense damage, however small it may be, and start working on it.

There is an innate capability of healing that dogs are born with. But as responsible and caring owners, we must create ambiences which will enable the dog to heal itself to its full potential. This can be accomplished by giving our dogs a healthy diet. It is through a healthy diet, proper exercise and love and care that we can give them the best condition for staying healthy and healing themselves.

Another thing that you must ensure for your dog is regular check ups. Take your dog to a veterinarian regularly in order to check for health disorders. In cases of extreme illnesses, do not leave things to natural healing. For example, if your dog breaks its paw, you have to go for surgery immediately.

Just making sure that your dog gets these things mentioned above and you will be happy to learn that your dog will be able to live a long and healthy life. After all, that is all that we as dog lovers want, a happy, healthy and barking long life for all our dogs.
