LOOKING FOR A HARNESS

An interesting article on Harnesses I came across. Considering the Kennel Club have changed the rules about letting dogs wear harnesses during assessments these might be of interest.
Walking is a vital role of dog ownership. Depending on its breed, it might be important to walk your dog several miles regularly in order to give him or her appropriate exercise and stimulation to avoid boredom and undesired activities. Again, it is essential for their health. Some individuals needs dog particularly as a motivation to walk more. You may also want to have a car ride with your dog. 
However, let’s face it. Some dogs are really challenging to walk. Some pups, for instance, are quite strong and aggressive they may pull so hard and may drag through town. Others will wander all over, neither here nor there, while some may completely refuse to cooperate altogether. If walking your faithful friend is a challenge, doing it becomes discouraging. 
In such a case, then, you need a quality dog harness to succeed. Forget about just attaching to your pet’s collar, which provides only poor control and may also injure the dog, harnesses provide greater and safe body coverage, featuring more supportive contact points eliminates the risk of injury while allowing you to control an uncooperative walker in an easier, effortless way. Here are 10 harnesses currently on the market for you to consider.

WHAT IS THE BEST DOG FOOD?

Are you aware of what it is your feeding your dog when you feed it branded dog food? The commercial production of canning meat and cereal food for dogs began in the 1930’s by the Chappel brothers. Since then a lot has changed and legislation has been introduced to regulate and provide rules and guidance to the industry to help them fulfill their obligations to make safe pet food. www.pfma.org According to the Pet Food Manufacturers Association the Pet Food Industry is “responsible, efficient and at the forefront of Technology.” The key statement in this article for me however is, “This means that it can minimize the use of resources whilst maximizing the safety standards.” If you look at the PFMA web site it is worth noting that it has many articles about Legislation, Sourcing of Raw Materials and Animal By Product Regulations. On the face of it the industry does seem to be a responsible industry. However the devil is in the detail and just like human foods there is good

ANOTHER DOG ATTACK

        Yet another child’s life lost as a result of a dog attack. The latest is a baby only days old, attacked in its home by a huge dog, an Alaskan Malamute. This breed was originally bred to pull sleds in the arctic region. The males can grow to just under 40 kilos. The breed are reputed to be fond of people and children making them ideal house dogs. They bond quickly with their owners are intelligent but can sometimes be difficult to train. They are great with children old enough to play with them. So what went wrong?

There is no information on why the previous owner was considering having it put down. Was it being ill-treated ? Had it already bitten? Did the new owner get a full history of the animal

PREPERATION FOR A NEW ARRIVAL

Image
Our house has been blessed with a new arrival in the last few months. My new grandson has moved in just as he’s starting to move around. Its been some 20 odd years since our house had a wee one crawling around the floor, getting into everything, picking things up etc. We had let our house become child unfriendly. Despite knowing he was coming we hadn't really prepared properly. So I was intrigued when an article appeared in the August issue of Your Dog about how owners go about preparing, selecting and bringing in a new puppy to their house. The emphasis of the article was more related to what research owners put in prior to getting a puppy. the article was written based on research carried out by Adaptil - The pheromone calming product range for dogs. The research took the form of a survey of 2000 puppy owners and some of the questions and answers were very interesting. 1 in 10 people thought that getting a new puppy was just like raising a child. 59% admitted that they wer
