One of the most frustrating things for pet parents is finding a surprise puddle from little Fido on the floor. But, it’s a fact of life that your pooch will pee in the house at some point. Even the most well-trained little fur kid can have an accident (or an on purpose). Read on for seven common reasons dogs pee in the house and what you can do to prevent it. 1. Excited Peeing I’m starting with exciting peeing because this is something I’ve struggled with since bringing my d

If you’ve ever had to give your dog medicine then you know it can be a difficult task. For some pups, just the sight of a pill bottle or medicine-filled syringe is enough to send them running to the other room. But here’s the good news: Medicine time doesn’t have to be stressful for you or your pooch. Read on for four tips! 1. Create Your Own Pill Pockets Dogs are food driven creatures and will typically scarf down a treat without realizing (or caring) there’s medicine hidi

If you’ve ever had a urinary tract infection (UTI) then you know it can be quite uncomfortable and painful. Oh, I can feel the awful burn just thinking about it. While UTIs are quite common in humans (especially for us women), did you know your dog can get a UTI too? According to Merck Veterinary Manual: “Bacterial UTI is the most common infectious disease of dogs, affecting 14% of all dogs during their lifetime.” So, since our canine companions can’t simply tell us when th

Dogs need both physical and mental stimulation. Just like humans, if your fur baby isn’t stimulated, he will get bored. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never let a dog get bored. Bad things happen when boredom strikes. When I say “bad things,” I mean, chewing things up (like my rug). Here are five great ways to stimulate your dog to make sure they are happy and content: 1) Work On A New Trick A short 15-minute training session every day goes a long way. Think abo

While inappropriate barking can make you want to pull your hair out at times, it’s important to remember that it’s a natural behavior for your pup. Barking is the way he communicates and of course he’s going to feel the need to alert you when an intruder is approaching (by “intruder” I really mean a friendly neighbor)! There are a few things you can do to get your dog to stop barking at inappropriate times. It’s important to note that these tips aren’t an overnight fix. Be pa

Types Of Animal Cruelty According to The Humane Society of The United States, “Most reported animal cruelty comes in the form of neglect, with direct violence occurring less.” Neglect occurs when an animal’s caretaker fails to provide the basic necessities. This includes food, water, shelter, and medical care. Neglect—whether intentional or unintentional— can become life-threatening. This type of cruelty is often the result of someone not realizing how much work goes into c

Wow … I’ve had dogs my entire life and never knew they drank water like this! I have, from time-to-time, watched my dogs drink and commented on their ability to actually get water in their mouth. I mean, could you even imagine a human trying to use their tongue to slosh and splash around a bowl full of water? We would die of thirst! Thanks to an ultra slow motion video by The Secret Life Of Dogs, we now know how our furry friends do it. Get ready to be amazed because this vid

Training doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Since your puppy’s attention span isn’t that long, aim for 10-minute sessions. This little amount of time makes a world of difference. Trust me, being able to communicate with your pooch is life-changing. Commands To Teach Your Puppy 1) Sit This is usually the first command dog parent’s teach their little ones. That’s probably because it’s one of the easiest. Here are a few tips to help you teach your dog how to sit: Hold a small

Have you ever seen your dog dragging his butt across the ground? The act is commonly known as “scooting” and is done in an attempt to alleviate an itch or irritation caused by anal gland issues. The first time I saw my Chihuahua scoot was about two years ago. First, it was outside on the grass and then, later that day, he dragged his booty across my living room carpet—those are two surfaces that dogs seem to choose. Four Reasons Dogs Scoot 1) Anal Sac Problems Located inter
