Dog Walkers & Your Career
I was jogging in the park the other day and noticed a number of professional dog walkers. They had many dogs under their care and the necessary tools of their trade. Nothing remarkable about that. What struck me was a) the number of providers I saw on this one visit, b) their marketing efforts, and c) the range of services offered. Parked on the streets around the park were various types of mini-van and SUV, emblazoned with each dog walking entrepreneur's web site address, phone number, slogan, ...Read the rest of this post »

The Best Dog Breeds For Families
There's nothing quite like the family dog. It's almost a slice of Americana. In ever cheesy fifties image of the Perfect American Family we see a nice little house with a white picket fence, Mom and Dad, two children (usually a boy and a girl), and a family pooch happily prancing around the yard. As clichéd as that image may be, the fact remains that people love dogs and some families just don't feel right without a family dog. When choosing a dog for a family, there are important traits to kee...Read the rest of this post »

Shadow's Stuff Helps Dogs Lead Better Lives
Our furry friends also need pure and gentle skincare. No one knows this better than Spring Rain Botanicals owner, Karen McCafferty. ' As an animal lover, I always worked to help animals in any way I could. When our Shadow's skin condition quickly worsened I knew that I could create natural skincare for him as well.' From that moment, Shadow's Stuff was born. Shadow was a West Highland Terrier, and had beautiful white, silky fur.

Grapes, Nuts, and Your Dogs Health -- Foods that Fido should
"Magoo was a big, playful Labrador retriever who often got himself into sticky situations..." So begins a story in the latest report from the ASPCA on foods that may be toxic to dogs. It turns out that Magoo got into the pantry and snagged himself about a pound of raisins. He ate the whole thing, of course. The ASPCA never mentions Magoo's fate. But they do tell us that as little as a handful of raisins can impair a dogs health and has been fatal for some. Ditto for the grape. Who Knew? Growing...Read the rest of this post »

Why Dogs Rule
Ever wonder why dogs make such good pets? It's not something many people seem to give much thought to, but I've been pondering it lately. I've had cats, snakes, fish, even a bird once, but as pets they all compare unfavorably (in my humble opinion) to playful puppy dogs. But why? It's not like those other species don't have their good points as pets. I've concluded that the main reason that dogs make better pets is a simple one, although it's not one that most people ever really think about. Th...Read the rest of this post »

Fat Dogs - How To Get Overweight Dogs to Diet and Slim Down
Obesity in dogs is a growing problem, which can cause many problems including heart disease, joint problems, and diabetes. Almost half of dogs in America are fat, especially beagles, dachshunds, basset hounds, and Labrador retrievers. Before your dog reaches the point where they need insulin shots, you can slim them down. It will take almost a year, but it's worth it. Even puppies shouldn't be overweight ' all dogs need to be slim, not fat, to be healthy. A dog is at the right weight if you can ...Read the rest of this post »
