Shih tzu are renowned for their perky, happy temperaments. They are lively and friendly. Shih tzu tend to get along well with people of all ages and with other dogs as well as other pets of different species. Rarely you will find a snippy shih tzu, but most are very sweet.

Saarloos Wolfdogs are not a very aggressive dog breed. However, they may try to chase smaller animals due to their wolf instincts. You will always want to put your dog on a leash when you go for a walk.

#DdogNews: The World’s Rarest Dog Breeds Are All Coming to New York City for One Weekend.

For more #dailydognews, please visit www.dogtreatsmart.com.

It’s easy to identify what a German Shepherd, Labrador, and Saint Bernard have in common: they’re furry, adorable canine companions with massive fan bases all over the world. But what about the Chippiparai, Jonangi, and Kombai? Even ardent animal lovers might stumble a bit here, but these too are dog breeds which have another thing in common—they’re all Indian. Skilled, sturdy, and well adapted to the country’s tropical climate, these dogs are great workers and excellent companions. Unfortunately, the other characteristic Indian breeds share is that they’re disappearing. #pawsindiaofficial #pawsindiapetsupplies #dogplaytime #dogsofinstagram #dogslover #doglovers #dogvedios #doginfographics #didyouknowdaily #dogbreeds #dogtreats #dognews #doginformation #dogbreeders https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_APU8n-uu/?igshid=oac0lptrc3o6

‘The Dog House: UK’ Review: Canine Compatibility

The caretakers at Wood Green, an animal charity headquartered in Godmanchester, England, and the subject of “The Dog House: UK,” have certain criteria by which they judge the compatibility of dogs and their prospective new life partners. “Are they a little old dog looking for a retirement home?” would be one. “Are they nuts?” is another. Presumably, the latter question refers to the dogs and not the people, especially since the dogs are out of earshot at the time, and everyone at Wood Green is consistently polite.

Either way, all the humans in “The Dog House: UK” are nice, and kind, and concerned about the health and welfare of Wood Green’s animal guests, or else they wouldn’t be there. There are easy comparisons to be made between a human dating service and this so-called “rehoming” center for unhoused pets—some of which have been abandoned, or given up for health reasons, or are simply foundlings. The thought that will occur to many homo sapiens watching this eight-part reality show from Channel 4 is the amount of care going into its cross-species matchups. Every marriage should be so well-considered.

Shamelessly sentimental at times, “The Dog House: UK” is the kind of show that will make a lot of viewers want to adopt a dog, or another dog, of their own. That seems especially difficult right now, and it would be hoped that prospective caregivers will continue to be inspired by the show when adoption facilities re-open. But interspecies matchmaking is not a simple procedure, and when “The Dog House” was being filmed, a variety of people presented themselves and their histories (which are explored at length) along with a variety of problems and circumstances to be pondered. The temperament of both human and dog are considered. So are age, mobility, the home, etc. Sometimes it all works out. Sometimes it doesn’t.

A young couple named Heather and Eliot, for instance, arrive looking for something to complete their relationship. They don’t want children. “No babies!” they say. (To her credit, the Wood Green interviewer, named Karen, smiles at them very indulgently). They’re eager, and the Wood Green people—who monitor by close-circuit camera all initial encounters between dog and would-be adoptive parent—try to accommodate their wishes.

Hi!

So, I decided to start this blog because as you can see, I’m kind of obsessed with my dog. So here he is! Meet Luke! He is a pure breed boxer and we got him when he was 8 weeks old! His birthday is September 26, 2017 and he loves presents, so keep that in mind. As new dog parents, we are really cautious about what we give to our little guy, and it was really a challenge to find a blog  or information that we were looking for. The sites that we have found told you what was good or bad for your dog, but didn’t always explain why. Now that I am a dog mom, I am a crazy label reader, and I wanted to know ALL of the information about the product. 

This blog is really for me and my fiancé to create memories, store information, and help other dog lovers find the best products for their precious little guys. Our main focus will obviously be on Luke, because he is so perfect, but you will also find helpful information about dog food, treats, toys, medicines, etc!!! Hopefully everyone will love Luke and watching his journey as much as we do! 

Heart Worm & Flea/Tick Prevention

One of the most popular questions I get asked by new, or soon to be new, dog owners is what heart from, flea, intestinal worm, and tick preventatives I use so I am here to give you the low down including the products we use, the one’s we stay away from and what our vet has recommended. 

We have a vet friend who has been wonderful in providing us with a slew of information (for free), including taking a look at various pictures we send in a frantic wondering if we need to go to the doctor right away. Luckily every single time we have been told to relax, everything is fine... but we are new dog owners! If you are a first time dog/puppy owner, you know exactly what I am talking about... and eventually you pay lots of money in useless vet visits for worrying too much and then you’re like screw it, no more! Every little bump and bruise turns from a potential leg amputation to absolutely nothing. LOL

Anyway.. back to the real reason I am writing this post. Heart worm, intestinal worms and flea/tick preventative. What to know:

1. Frontline SUCKS! You are wasting your money if you purchase frontline, or frankly any of those other topical flea/tick preventatives. They do not work. This is not only coming from experience but this vet friend of mine as well. She literally told us, “fleas and ticks laugh at frontline.” So even though it’s usually the cheaper option, spend the few extra bucks to protect your dog and yourself from pulling ticks off of them. This is especially important for fellow doodle owners. Due to doodles having relatively thick fur, with a double coat, it can be difficult to see if your dog has ticks without thoroughly checking them every night. And with darker colored dogs it becomes even harder! 

2. For flea/tick prevention we use 1 of 2 products:

First: Nexguard

Nexguard is a chewable given monthly to prevent flea and ticks. We have used this in the past and liked it. It can be a little more expensive, and you do need a vet to prescribe it to your pet but we have found that it works. You can order it online (usually cheaper) from 1800petmeds. It will ask for your veterinary information, they will send them a request to fill and your vet should approve it right away. Then they ship it right to you! No driving or vet visit required. However, if you are the type of person that cannot remember to give a dog medicine at the same time each month, maybe you should consider the second option which we are using currently. 

Second: Seresto Flea/Tick collar 

We just purchased this for our dog, it last a few months and we haven’t found a single tick on him since putting it on! I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, however our vet friend is the one who recommended it. She apparently uses it for her dogs and has never found a tick. So we figured, worth a try. So far so good! We even take it off if we know we are going to keep him inside for the most part or an are where there are not ticks. Whether or not you’re supposed to do this is a good question... read the instructions! This option is pretty affordable and like I said the collar itself lasts for several months, so unlike the pill form you don’t have to remember to give it monthly to keep your dog protected. 

The only negative I have found is with a doodle, especially if they have a longer coat, it is best not to keep collars on for longer than necessary due to matting. The collars rub on the fur causing tangles. But other than that, it smells kind of like citronella, you can adjust it to the fit you think is comfortable for your pet, and it has worked great for us so far! 

3. For heartworm/intestinal worm prevention

This is extremely important! Especially for dogs that are social, go to dog parks, play dates, places other dogs go, etc. You do not want your dog getting a parasite or some other kind of worm. So you must give preventative. Yes it can be expensive, but it’s worth spending some money per month vs. a huge vet bill later. We give our doodle Trifexis. Trifexis was also a recommendation from our vet friend. It is a chewable pill, most dogs like and will gobble right up but if not, just put it in a piece of banana or turkey and they will eat it right away. Just make sure they actually consume the whole thing. This is given monthly, so for you people who forget... put a reminder in your phone, I don’t believe there is any other form other than a monthly pill but I could be wrong. If you are interested in alternatives ask your vet. This is one of the better names out there, however. It prevents heart worm, intestinal worm and has a flea preventative as well! So this paired with a flea/tick pill or collar and you will be good to go! 

What do you want to read about next? Send me a message with any questions or recommendations you would like me to post about! I by no means know everything about dogs, but I think I know quite a bit. As a first-time dog and doodle owner, I have done a lot of research and experienced a lot of different things that have helped, didn’t help, etc. and I want to share it all to you!
