Dog and Puppy Supplies and Tips

Archive for October, 2007

If your dog or puppy has gas you’ll know it. It’s almost as though a skunk was let loose in your house. Many times this is caused by eating too fast, the constant switching of pet foods, inappropriate human food (yes, if you get gas from a certain food there is a good chance that your dog will also get gas) and eating or swallowing air while chewing rawhide bones Another gas producer are pigs ears.

If gas is a constant issue and you dog appears to have gas pains or looks uncomfortable, talk to your vet about giving your dog anti-gas products.

However, it it’s just a nuisance for you bit your dog does not appear to be uncomfortable
you can adjust feeding times and avoid switching your dogs food supply. If you find that one item appears to be the issue either stop feeding it to your dog or puppy or learn to live with the smell.

There are also bones available that help to neutralize odors. Many products that are for dog breath will also work for gas.

Gas need not be an issue and it all depends on how you deal with it.

If you have a pup who will grow into a very small dog you may consider using a puppy absorbent pad that can be placed in the bathroom. Puppy pads are used by dog owners who live in apartment buildings and want to avoid taking the elevator, and by owners who have disabilities or difficulties leaving the house on a regular basis .

The puppy pad serves the same purpose as a litter box for a cat. You can also use a litter box for a very small dog. You can also create a mini potty park by placing natural materials such as sod, mulch and non-poisonous plants inside a large plastic box. Replace the soil as needed.

Puppy pad may just be what you need for your smaller dog.

Your dog loves to come when you call him, he gets excited and happy. However, if you only call him when he’s in trouble or if you want to perform the following, he will learn to ignore you so avoid this is possible:

* Calling your dog when your angry.

* Calling the dog when your about to do something the dog doesn’t like (for example, nail clipping and bathing).

* Calling the dog to put on his leash at the dog park.

* Calling the dog to be put in confinement.

* Waiting to praise the dog until he gets right up close to you.

* Not rewarding the dog sufficiently.

* Calling your off-leash dog to come before he is trained.

Call your dog often during off-leash play sessions. When he comes back to you, let him know how pleased you are and then tell him to go back and play again. You are accomplishing two important things here: checking to make sure your dog complies and teaching your dog that coming to you does not mean the end of play, but rather a pleasant time out for reward.
