| + | Care For Your Dog By Following These Tips | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Your dog has teeth just like you, so it makes sense that he needs proper dental care. Invest in a dog toothbrush and brush his teeth often. Simply allowing the vet to do it at his regular checkups is not enough. You can also purchase treats that are specifically meant to help with your pet's teeth. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are in the market for a new puppy, make sure you will have enough time to devote to his training. On average, you need to take a young dog outside to do his business eight times a day and that can take a lot away from your schedule. Training takes more time and patience than most people realize. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Schedule regular veterinary visits. Regular veterinary exams are extremely important for your dog's overall health - as with humans, it is important to catch any health problems early on. The vet will make sure that your dog is up to date on his vaccinations, | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Pay attention to the nails of your canine. If they get too long, they may start to curl under and cause your dog pain. You can trim them yourself with a pair of store bought clippers. If you can't do it by yourself, you might want to try the groomers; it does not cost a lot.; | ||
| + | |||
| + | Make your own dog biscuits to provide your beloved canine with the healthiest treats. Most commercial products are [[http:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Brushing your dog on a daily basis has other benefits aside from the fact that he will shed less fur on your furniture clothing. Regular brushing encourages a healthy, shining coat. The reason for this is that brushing distributes a dog's oils from its skin so it looks soft and shiny. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Determine your dog's specific exercise regimen. Dogs have different fitness needs based their sex, overall health, age, breed mix, or breed. Every dog should have a couple 10-minute walks a day around the block. Dogs between 6 and 18 months, active breed or mixed breeds, terriers, hounds, and herding dogs will most likely require more fitness than others types of dogs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bring your dogs to their scheduled appointments. This will give your dogs the best chance to avoid life-threatening diseases. Annual physicals can save a lot of problems in the future. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You may need to trim hair that grows near the dog's paws to help keep it from matting. You should use a comb to straighten out the hair a bit before trying to trim it. You can always use a dog groomer if you find the process difficult. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Prior to bringing home another dog, arrange a meeting between your current pet and your prospective pet. Some dogs get along better with one another than others. If you find that your dogs are compatible, a lot of anguish and trouble can be saved. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The pads of your dog's feet can become dry and cracked, so make sure that you moisturize them regularly. Ask your veterinarian for advice on which product to use. Avoid using moisturizers that are intended for humans, because they can make the pads too soft and your dog may get hurt. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You should not let your dog go outside without supervision. It is best to provide your dog with a safe space such as a fenced yard. Inspect your fence to make sure your dog cannot escape. If you do not have a fence, always go outside with your dog so you can keep an eye on it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The kind of leash you use when walking your dog is very important. A small leash that would fit a small dog, like a chihuahua, is not going to fit a Rottweiler or pit bull. Get a leash that will fit your dog comfortably but also provided them with safety. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When choosing a vet for your dog, make sure that it is a good experience for both you and your dog. You want your dog to feel comfortable so that the visit will go smoothly. It's also important to find a vet that helps you fully with any concerns that you may have. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Teaching your dog to stay in a crate while you're away is great for people that cannot be home all the time. This will prevent your puppy from damaging your home, and he will not use the bathroom anywhere he shouldn' | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is important that you give your dog plenty of exercise. Doing so will promote a healthy lifestyle for your dog and you. This is especially the case if the dog in question is very energetic. If you give your dog sufficient exercise, it is less likely he or she will cause problems inside the home. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It's time for you to do something about your dog's weight. Your dog will only continue to get fatter if you don't do anything about it. If you truly care about your friend and companion, you'll do what it takes to make sure it stays healthy. Use these tips and help it slim down. | ||

| - | Sudden Mobility Loss: Helping a Dog Who Can’t Walk | + | |
| - | A sudden change in your dog’s mobility is alarming.Nothing is worse than watching your dog struggle to stand and unable to support themselves | + | Keeping our dog safe, and abiding by the rules of many of the places we visit, means that Myles spend a lot of time on-leash. Though we’re always exploring new places, life at the end of a six foot tether doesn’t provide him with much freedom. So, to give Myles more room to wander while we’re camping, we made an inexpensive zip line for our dog! |
| - | Hind Leg Weakness: When Your Dog’s Back Legs Give Out | + | Zip Line vs. Tie-Out |
| - | A dog’s sudden paralysis and mobility loss is scary. There are many reasons why a dog’s back legs give out, understanding the cause will help you to understand what needs to be done. Your pet needs to see a pet professional as soon as possible. | + | The zip line has a lot of advantages over cable tie-outs, which people often use to keep dogs from wandering off. |
| - | A few canine mobility conditions that affect | + | First, jumping up every two minutes to untangle your dog doesn’t happen with a zip line. If you have a dog who’s constantly wrapping his tie-out around the picnic table, tent stake, trees, and your chair, you know how impossible it is to relax with those shenanigans going on! |

| - | Knee injury or ACL tear | ||
| - | Traumatic | + | Second, you’ll never again feel the dread of watching your dog bolt to the end of their unforgiving cable tie-out. The zip line has more give and protects pets from injury. |
| - | Arthritis | ||

| - | Degenerative Myelopathy | + | Third, the zip-line won’t trip you when you’re stumbling around the campfire in the dark! |
| - | IVDD or slipped disc | + | Materials and Assembly |
| - | Vestibular Syndrome | + | All you’ll need to make a zip line for your dog is some nylon rope and two spring clasps. Any hardware store will have these materials, or you can order them online for about fifteen dollars. |
| - | Depending on the underlying cause, a dog’s paralysis may be temporary or permanent. Canine rehabilitation can help your dog to maintain muscle, regain leg strength, and learn how to walk again through structured exercise. Rehabilitation helps dogs restore balance, strength, and leg function. Although, not every dog will be able to walk again – every dog dealing with sudden mobility loss can benefit from conditioning exercises. | ||
| - | What to Do When Your Dog Can’t Stand Up | + | We chose a rope with a smooth cover, which makes it comfortable |
| - | Sudden mobility loss, doesn’t always mean paralysis. A dog being unable to stand up is a noticeable change in pet’s mobility. Struggling to lift themselves off the ground is often the first sign of mobility problems. | ||
| + | Rod used his Eagle Scout skills to handle the knot tying. He made quick work of the two bowline knots, attaching the spring clasps to the ends of rope. | ||
| - | Most senior dogs will show signs of losing strength in their legs as they get older. A dog struggling to stand up is likely suffering from arthritis or leg joint pain. Aid your dog to stand with the help of a rear support leash. The leash allows you to give the boost older dogs need to get up on all four legs and steady themselves. Pets having difficulty standing or walking or seem to be in pain need to be seen by a veterinarian. | ||
| + | Melting the fibers by passing the raw ends of the rope though a flame keeps them from unraveling. And – SHAZAM – the zip line is ready for action! | ||
| - | Continued exercise is always recommended for arthritic pets. The very best thing you can do for a joint with arthritis is to use it. Consistent movement and putting weight on the joint encourages more joint fluid to be produced, which actually makes it easier for a dog to move their aching joints in the long run. Hydrotherapy or swim therapy is ideal for dogs with aching joints. They get the benefit of exercise without putting too much stress on their joints. For longer walks, a dog wheelchair will reduce the weight being placed on the joints but allow the dog to continue to move and strengthen the muscles around the joint. With time and proper treatment your dog may get strong enough to stand on their own. | + | Deciding On Length |
| - | Dog Wheelchairs for Rear Leg Weakness | + | The most difficult part of making your zip line will be deciding how long it should be. |
| - | Keeping your dog active is vital to their quality of life. A dog who can’t stand or walk on their own can become immobile and depressed. | ||
| + | We decided on a 50 foot line, which gives Myles plenty of room to explore. And because having too much is better than not enough. | ||
| - | A dog wheelchair is designed to support their weak hind legs, providing them the rear leg support they need to exercise. Whether your dog’s rear legs are paralyzed or just weakened, a dog wheelchair will help. Even dogs who are still able to move their hind legs will see improved leg function with the help of a rear support cart. Dog wheelchairs help dogs to stand, maintain balance, and stay healthier longer. | ||
| + | That length also gives us more flexibility if we’re at a campsite with few anchor points. If we don’t have trees, we can attach one end to the ladder on the back of our motorhome and the other to a picnic table or post. | ||
| - | Regardless of the injury or mobility condition impacting your pet, a dog wheelchair helps them to get back to a normal life, maintain a positive outlook on life and continue to exercise daily. In the long run, a dog wheelchair will extend their life and improve their overall quality of life. | + | Setting Up The Zip Line |
| - | | + | Before setting up your dog’s zip line at a park or campground, check the rules to verify that they allow the rope to be wrapped around the trees. Also, placing a 1 to 2 inch webbing between the tree and the rope will help protect trees with soft bark. Nails and screws should not be attached to the tree when putting up your zip line. |

| - | Hot summer days are harder for dogs to handle than humans. Always make sure your pet has enough water to drink.

| - | Keep your dog in comfortable housing. They should be able to rest off the floor and away from drafts. A training crate is a good choice or any covered shelter outside. Try placing a dog bed inside that has a warm blanket or a pillow inside. Wash the dog's bedding frequently. | ||
| - | Make sure that your dog is not kept outside your home all day long. Many people do this, but dogs need interactions with others. If your dog is alone outside, it will quickly get lonely. It's especially important that your dog be inside if the weather outside is nasty. | ||

| - | Never allow a puppy to climb up or down steps in order to prevent joint problems in the future. This is extremely important, especially with breeds that are at high risk for hip dysplasia. Any sort of high impact shock such as jumping or stair climbing should be avoided due to the fact that their growth plates are still developing. | ||
| - | If you are not sure how your dog will react to other dogs, make sure you keep them on a leash during the first introduction. Rescue dogs especially can be unpredictable around other dogs. Keeping your dog on the leash will allow you to better control their behavior. Once you feel comfortable and your dog is adjusted, you can take them off the leash and let them play. | ||
