Although you bathe your puppy or dog at regular intervals it can be convenient at times for your dog to have a dry bath.
Dry baths are not as effective as wet baths. If you have a puppy that is ill or if you need to stop your dog from becoming stressed, they are an alternative remedy.
One of the home remedies used for a dry bath is a mix of cornstarch and baby powder but this can be messy. There are products in the market that you can purchase. (more…)
She may be a beautiful Bond Girl (winning Daniel Craig’s heart in Casino Royal) and has her own perfume, but when it comes to her dog, there’s nothing actress Eva Green won’t do, and she means nothing.
Eva recently moved from Paris to London, where she now lives, and because dogs aren’t allowed on the Eurostar, Eva had to leave her beloved dog behind. However, Eva loves her Border terrier so much that she’s considering hatching a Bond villain style plan to bring the dog over from France to live with her in London.
Eva explained her plan to Contactmusic:

When it comes to injuring ourselves, we British are very inventive at finding new and interesting ways to cause ourselves harm doing activities that really shouldn’t harm a fly. Yet even the most innocuous activity seems to cause us Brits severe injury, are we that brittle?
One of the most common ways of injuring ourselves in the UK, according to a survey held by Mobigel Paineze Spray, is by falling over the family dog. We’re also just as susceptible to walking into glass doors, and pulling muscles without exercising. Incredibly 65% of Britons have pulled a muscle without even attempting any exercise.
A spokesman for Mobigel Paineze Spray added:

The most common activity to cause injury, affecting 53% of Britons, is suffering injury while (more…)
Every responsible dog owner knows that your dog should wear a collar at all times. If your dog wanders off and gets lost, the information on their collar will be used to trace the owner (you) and return your dog to you. It also helps to show that your dog is owned by someone and isn’t a stray.
Oh yes, and the collar can save your dog from falling 70ft off a cliff.
That’s just what happened to a golden retriever who was chasing a rabbit by a cliff’s edge on the Isle of Wight. The golden retriever is called Mac and he chased the rabbit off the cliff, and rather than fall to his death was saved when his collar became snagged on the rocks.
Mac still suffered serious injury, breaking tow of his legs and suffering a collapsed lung, but he survived and is now walking again, albeit with the aid of splints.
Mac was with his owner Margaret Sills when he bolted after a rabbit, heading straight over the (more…)
Your gorgeous puppy that looks at you with those large appealing eyes will not be able to stop himself from being inquisitive. Once he has set his mind on an object the natural reaction for him is to start chewing it, no matter what it might be.
Chewing is a natural motion for a puppy so provide him with a selection of toys, dog chews and other pet products which will take his mind off your property.
Biscuit chews can be dangerous if they break up into pieces as they may cause your puppy to (more…)

If you are an adult who likes to keep fit, or maybe just wants to get fit, you may decide that your dog would be an ideal jogging companion.
It is important to take into consideration the age of your dog.
