Bloat is a condition large breed dogs can succumb to, and it is a dilation and torsion (twisting) of the stomach. It develops very quickly, and it's often accompanied by a gas build-up and ultimately a painful death within a matter of hours for the dog.
Symptoms If noticed early, the dog tries to retch or vomit and produces a frothy type of liquid. They are in obvious discomfort with a distended rigid stomach. They can appear hunched over, and the breathing is rapid and shallow. What kills the dog is excessive pressure from the bloated stomach pushing back up against the diaphragm, causing stress on the heart. The dogs' heart goes into fibrillation, and they die quickly.
Causes Feeding (or excessive drinking) immediately after exercise appears to be the main reason dogs suffer from bloat as their stomachs are still moving and their breathing is labored. In addition, with the gut full of food or water, the wall of the stomach or intestines is more susceptible to twisting.
Age Bloat can occur at any age, but it is rarely seen in very young pups, so the older the canine, the more likely it suffers and have a worse prognosis.
Breed Dogs with deep chests appear to be more likely to suffer, especially Great Danes, German Shepherds, Irish Wolf Hounds, Red Setters, and other large breeds.
Seasonal Bloat is more prevalent in the warmer months, especially after sudden temperature changes.
Prevention Elevate feed bowl, i.e., place bowl in a top bucket or similar to ensure the dog is not bending over to eat. Ensure dry food is mixed with water, and it can also be partially soaked before feeding.
Do not exercise at all one hour or after a meal. Once they have eaten, do not allow exercise or play and ensure they are kept quiet for at least an hour after consuming food and excessive drinking.
If in any doubt about your dogs' health, take it straight to a vet to check.

They need a lot of attention and, although they're not overly demanding, you must have time to play around with your Boston terrier because of their curious nature. Due to their wrinkly, short, and round face, bostons don't do well with those who have nasal problems, have chronic skin infections, allergies, and flea infestations because they constantly shed hair. Although they are very pretty to look at, Bostons also shed tears that are just as much of a concern as other shedding skin. You'll find that a regular bathing once a week will go a long way towards keeping your dog clean and skin-free.
Because of their affectionate nature and seemingly endless adoration of humans, Boston terriers have been popular worldwide as show dogs and pets. Their gentle, sweet disposition makes them ideal companions for children and can be quite dapper when it comes to attending functions and social gatherings. The Boston Terrier is a naturally intelligent dog that is eager to please and is therefore highly trainable. Because of the intelligence of Boston terriers, training them can take just a few months of consistent training if you are persistent and consistent with your routines.

The Bernese mountain dog is a medium-sized dog, a member of the four breeds of Sennenhund type dogs in the world. These dogs probably got their name from the Roman hill-forts where the dogs had been used to pull carts or to hunt small animals. The word Sennenhund means "mountain dog" in German. Thus, the Bernese mountain dog was probably named from those who made the mountain trails from the valleys of the Alps to the sea. Despite its medium size, the Bernese mountain dog is exceptionally strong and well-balanced. This breed is susceptible to no serious health problems and is normally hardy, energetic, and happy. A typical Bernese mountain dog puppy will stand up to ten pounds, although puppies less than eight pounds may also exist. Crate training for the Bernese mountain dog puppy should ideally start when it is about one year of age. However, this breed tends to be lazy and will usually need about two months of command training before it will cooperate and listen to commands. Constant feeding and supervision are required during the first two months of the life of this breed. Most Bernese breeders will offer the puppies some scraps from their meals or, if they are indoors, they will offer bowls of food to eat in return for their undivided attention. If the Bernese mountain dog puppy has any concerns at all, it should be reassured immediately by a firm "no."
Poodlesare 1 of the most popular breeds in the UK and indeed around the world. The Poodle name comes from German Pudel, which means "little dog." These are highly energetic and intelligent dogs, which make lovely and excellent companions. Poodles have a medium-length coat that is very silky and smooth, with medium to long hair. They are highly trainable and obedient and are often said to be "lovable" or "gentle."
Poodles have a highly receptive temperament, making them a good choice as a first breed or mixed-breed dog. They have a playful, curious character and are said to be easy to train due to high energy levels and the eagerness to please. Poodles are known for being lively, energetic, fun-loving, playful, and friendly dogs with an extraordinary sense of humor. All the Poodles have a square-shaped, long, fine-boned neck, with a straight, upright back and a tail that dock easily. They are favorite among dog lovers of all ages and across many different breeds of dogs, Poodles have become a part of many human cultures over the years.

Poodles can be used as protection dogs, watchdogs, show dogs, miniature lap dogs, or any other type of dog breed. They are lovely companions, loving and loyal friends, which are at home in their homes everywhere.
The Pomeranian dog is a beautiful small dog with an exuberant personality. The word of the breed originates from Pomeranian, which is the area of Northern Europe in which they originally originated. They are popular affectionately called Poms or Pom Poms, even though these little dogs generally weigh up to 7 pounds. These dogs are known for their beautiful silky coats and high energy levels. These dogs were initially bred as hunting aids, but later their temperament has been changed so that they are suitable as house pets.
The majority of pomeranians today are long-haired, although curly-haired poms are becoming more common as many dog owners are realizing their miniature traits and desire for a long-haired companion. Poms are extremely intelligent, happy animals. They tend to bond with their humans and family members and are great dogs for families with children. However, they have been known to be somewhat possessive and aggressive towards other dogs, particularly those of the opposite sex.
The term "Pomeranian" actually means "little pomegranate," which is why the dogs are often called "pomegranate" as well. A true poem is referred to as the "queen" or "grievous little one" and is over three inches in height at the shoulder with a tail that is half the size of its body. A Pomeranian can be anywhere from eight to fifteen inches in height at the shoulder, while the larger dog is anywhere from fifteen to twenty-four inches.
Temperament: Playful, Intelligent, Friendly, Extroverted, Sociable, Active
The Pug is an excellent breed of small, dog-sized dogs with many unique physical characteristics; including, flat faced, wrinkly face, short muzzled face with a curled tail, medium to long fur. The pug breed has a fine, silky, curly coat, which come in various colors, usually light silver to pale chocolate brown, and a tapered, square-shaped body with well developed muscles. The Pug has short, rounded ears, a black nose, a fair complexion, a white chest, a perky tail, heart-shaped, pointed ears, a black kisser, a round, tapering head, and short, round feet. Pugs are very active and energetic dogs, which makes them great for those who don't have time to exercise. This breed is extremely intelligent and eager to please, which makes them great companions for children and adults.
Despite their small size, pugs do suffer from some health issues. These include breathing problems such as sleep apnea, excessive snoring, congenital defects such as cleft palate, eye problems, skin allergies, and hip dysplasia. There are relatively few breeders of this kind of dog, but because of these relatively few breeding-home owners, there is relatively little information on the health history of these dogs. Because these rugs are relatively healthy dogs, it is not uncommon for them to develop health problems such as kidney or heart diseases. With proper preventative care, however, these health issues can be avoided.
While these dogs are known as mindy and rather playful, they can also be a handful. They are very quick to become distracted and often forgetful of things or other dogs. Pugs do enjoy the playfulness and are notorious escape artists, so you need to take precautions to keep them in the house. Pugs also like to dig and tend to be allergic to grasses, weeds and other types of weeds. If your dog does have allergies to any of these substances, he may not behave and be less than friendly to others around him, so if you suspect that your pug has any allergies, it's best to bring him to the veterinarian for a check-up.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, sometimes spelt cappuccino, is a smaller breed of pure-bred spaniels belonging to the toy group of The American Kennel Club and the Toy Group of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was originally bred in England in the late 1890s and later became part of the American Kennel Club's breeding selection program. In United States, the breed is said to have flourished after World War II as pets for the armed services men. However, in more recent years, the pet's popularity as a family pet rose and it was soon listed as an acceptable breed for inclusion in many American dog registries. It achieved such recognition that in 2007, the American Kennel Club sought to register it as a Certified Standardbred and Display Animal. It moved just one point lower but was granted its membership due to its continued acceptance by American organizations.
Like the Standard Schnauzer and the Umbrian Husky, the Cavalier King Charles spaniels belong to the Toy Group of the American Kennel Club. Unlike these two breeds, however, the Cavalier King Charles is smaller than both. The overall size of the two breeds is almost the same, except for the face, which is wider in comparison with the face of the Standard Schnauzer. Despite its small size, the Cairn Terrier does not appear wrinkled, despite its short coat. Its glossy coat, in fact, stands out against its other siblings.
As with any other dog, you must remember to prepare for the challenges ahead by learning how to properly care for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. Like many other dog breeds, they require basic grooming and health care before you consider anything else. This breed experiences less wrinkles than many other dogs, so you will probably be able to avoid much of the frequent illnesses that are common to Cavalier spaniel breeds. However, like other small breeds, they do require regular veterinarian check-ups.
Mass:Male: 5.9 – 8.2 kg (Adult), Female: 5.9 – 8.2 kg (Adult)
The Yorkshire Terrieris one of the most popular small dog breeds in the United States. While many people think a Yorkshire Terrier is just a cute small breed of dog, there are several important things you should know before purchasing one for your home. The Yorkshire Terrier can make a great, loyal companion and very protective dog. If you want to purchase a Yorkie but are unsure what to expect from this tiny dog breed, then you need to do some research.
Like many terriers, the Yorkshire terriers were originally bred and raised in England. Today there are many breeders and shelters where these dogs are being adopted. In many instances, when Yorkshire terriers are adopted from England, they are usually mistreated or not given much love. There have even been cases where the Yorkshire terriers have been used for dog fighting.
The Yorkshire terrier does shed more than other terriers, however they also tend to be very healthy dogs. The Yorkshire terrier's coat is normally white with a dark body and black ears. The standard yorkies coat is three inches long between the top and bottom coats. The American Kennel Club does not allow the standard cookies to be registered as a purebred, due to the fact that they have been altered by the breeding process. Most breeders will claim that their Yokies are 100% purebred, but you have to be aware that because they are registered as a sporting breed, many organizations consider any purebred Yorkie to be a sporting breed.
Colors:Blue & Tan, Blue & Gold, Black & Tan, Black & Gold
The Golden Retriever is a breed that will last a lifetime if properly taken care of. Their long sleek hair requires only the occasional brushing and bathing and will remain that way all your life. They are a very good breed for those who have sensitive skin because they are an extremely gentle and kind breed. If you have any fears at all about grooming the Golden Retriever please don't do it. They don't need daily grooming but some do enjoy playing in the bath and snuggling up against you in their warm soft bed.
Golden Retrievers is one of the few breeds that will stand up to being brushed a hundred times a day. This is a requirement from the American Kennel Club for the breed to have a long and sturdy coat that doesn't break easily. This is not a breed for those who do not have a lot of time or the patience to groom the dog. Their coats require clipping every couple of weeks because the new outer coat needs to be brushed out to reduce matting and tangling. Constant brushing will keep the coat shiny and reduce tangling.
The American Kennel Club recommends that the American golden retriever puppy be given at least six months to grow into a full-grown adult. Golden Retrievers are wonderful companions for children and home pets. They are great with children of all ages and will often stay by the side while the children play. They are very protective of family members and will often bark loudly when a stranger enters the house. The light golden retriever puppy has an easy-going temperament and an average intelligence.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is still classified as a purebred, although it is now considered an American Shorthair. The Pembroke breed is closely related to the English Toy Poodle and is thought to have been brought over with the English in the 1800s from Germany. It was not a very common breed in the U.S., but was one of the most popular when American Kennel Club registration started. These dogs are very cute and very friendly, making them very popular with families.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a beautiful coat that is long and flowing, with many colors and patterns. The English Toy Pembroke Welsh corgi is a great example of an American Short hair; the American Kennel Club (AKC) has accepted the breed into its registry. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has an average height of ten inches at the shoulder, a body length of eleven inches, a tail that is half the dog's size at the point of the elbow, and ears that are tipped slightly backward. They are solid-colored with dark-colored coats, but are able to use alternative colored coatings, including white and tan.
This dog is very likely to get ear problems, especially during grooming time. If you own a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and this happens, make sure you get your vet to check the ears to make sure they are clear and not filled with wax. Any veterinarian should be able to help you with this and should be able to give you a prescription for ear drops or antibiotic ointment to take care of the problem. Ear infections in dogs are very common and can be easily treated and prevented if you are careful with your pets. Also, if your dog shows any signs of this disorder, you should contact your veterinarian right away.
Colors:Fawn, Black & Tan, Sable, Black & White, Red
French Bulldogpuppies tend to suffer from breathing difficulties because of their long, floppy muzzles and so, you must allow them to take control on the level of physical exercise they get while outside and around. They also should be well-trained earlier on, be guided properly on recall training, lead on training and other puppy training techniques will help ensure that they are kept safe. If you have not been able to train your puppy earlier, the previous training should be completed first before introducing a new training technique. This will ensure that your dog will not be confused and be able to learn on its own. In general, French Bulldogs need less exercise than other breeds of dogs, but they do need at least one hour of vigorous exercise each day and this can be carried out with a lot of fun and games.
The temperament of the French bulldog is very much like the American Staffordshire Terrier, which makes them suitable for most families. However, unlike the American Staffordshire Terrier, who is a very calm and placid dog, the French bulldog is a medium sized and strong dog that would make a suitable match for those families who have an aggressive pet and want to firm it up. The most popular colors for this breed of dog is the tan, black and blue. The tan and black are the colors that are most popular with the buyers while blue and the black color can be found in the most number of sighthounds that are bred and reared in the United Kingdom. However, the most famous color which was once the favorite of the American Staffordshire Terrier owner is the blue and is still in high demand.
The eyes of a French Bulldog are very expressive and they can be very expressive while the facial expressions and the way the dog moves are some of the things that make it so endearing. One of the unique traits of the French bulldog is its long and droopy ears. This long structure of the French bulldog's ears also adds to the French bulldog's temperament as well as their beauty. When it comes to grooming, the French bulldog is one of the easiest breeds of dogs to maintain and they need less grooming time than most other breeds of dogs. The maintenance of the French bulldog is on par with the maintenance of any other regular sized dog.

The question, "Is ice water bad for dogs?" is one that has been asked and answered for years. While there are many different opinions on this topic, the fact of the matter is that water is not good for all animals, including dogs. In fact, it is not recommended that you give your dog regular water or even boiled water. That being said, you must know the pros and cons of ice cubes before deciding if this is something you want to try yourself at home.
First off, if you have ever given a dog a glass of water in the past, then you realize that it is not good for them. This is because most dogs do not like cold water; in fact, they find it to be very disagreeable. However, if your dog is stressed or anxious, then the cold water can actually help them calm down. Plus, ice-cold water is also better for them then a hot glass of regular water.
Another reason that ice cubes can be helpful is because dogs cannot stand long periods of time standing in the water. In fact, this is a condition known as swim bladder syndrome. When they are forced to stay in the water for an extended period of time, it is very uncomfortable for them. This is why you may want to take them out often in the hot weather. Of course, it is important that you do not drown your dog; but you can use ice to counter the effects of a swim bladder issue.
Also, while most people do not realize it, you should be very careful when using ice water with your dogs. Most commercial brands will be pretty clear and safe, but others are not. You definitely do not want to give your dog anything that is colored or sweet smelling. Also, make sure that the ice cubes you use are not too large or small. Some manufacturers add some dye to the water, which can cause your dog to be sensitive to the smell, even if they are only used for ice water.
You may also want to consider whether you want to use ice cubes, or just bring your dog inside to the yard. If you do not have a back yard, you may want to bring him inside for this winter. An indoor yard is usually a lot safer for a dog during the summer heat than an outdoor one, especially if you do not live in an area that experiences heavy rainfalls or snowfall.
Overall, you should take care when using commercial ice cubes during the summer months. Do not give them to your dog for drinks, as the liquid in the cubes will heat up the dog's body, making it very uncomfortable. Also, you need to make sure that you are not drowning your dog by giving them a drink that is too hot. A cooler temperature is much better for your dog during the winter months. Natural dog food does not contain any chemicals, and does not affect the core temperature of the animal.

Without a doubt, it is one of the most important decisions you will ever make as an individual. When you adopt an abused shelter puppy, you save a life and obtain a loving, devoted companion. When enough devoted dog lovers do this, they create a more positive impact on the puppy overpopulation issue in the United States right now.
You are probably aware that it is illegal in some states to adopt puppies from the shelter. On the other hand, other states recognize the rights of the shelter dogs to be adopted. That is why you may find that the local pound has adopted dogs for a while. The goal is to get these dogs adopted into loving homes.
It is important to understand that a dog that comes from a shelter is already immunized and wormed. That means that there are no medical issues to worry about. You can expect that the puppy will be up to date on vaccinations after you have brought him home from the shelter. It is a good idea to ask how to select a puppy?
Of course, shelter-raised puppies should never be exposed to unsanitary conditions. That is a very good reason to be absolutely sure before bringing them home. Ask how many times the puppies have been cleaned since they were born. That will give you a fairly accurate indication of their health.
Another good indication is to check for any cuts or scrapes on the puppies' body. This might indicate that they have been bitten by another dog or suffered an injury when being handled by another animal. Check the ears, too. An otherwise healthy adult dog might have a hairless ear because of an ear infection or some other problem.
Grooming is another important consideration when thinking about how to select a puppy? Make sure that you choose a puppy whose coat is in good overall condition. Be careful not to choose a female dog whose coat is too long or whose ears are too flat. Neither should your dog have any unusual scratching needs.
The best way to find out about the true health of your new pet is to adopt him from a reputable shelter or humane society. It is not only safer but more humane, to adopt a puppy that comes from a loving family. Chances are, he will grow up to be a well-adjusted adult. His home with you will provide him with all the love and attention he needs to flourish.
How to select a puppy? This process may take a little time, but it will all be worth it when you find the perfect match for your family. Once you know how to select a puppy, your next challenge will be to find one that actually accepts your home as his own. Happy hunting!
What are some considerations you should make when looking for a puppy? There are many different things to consider before choosing a shelter or breeder to purchase from. Some of the most important include shelter and breeding conditions, age, temperaments (e.g., timid, nervous), grooming, and personality. If your shelter or breeder is not selling healthy puppies, you should consider breeding them yourself. However, if the puppies you're considering are those in a shelter or breeder's breeding program, you must take special care not to buy a puppy that has genetic faults.
Before choosing to buy a puppy from a shelter or breeder, it is important to investigate their operations. Ask to see their animal health records, and check the references provided by the shelter or breeder. Be sure that they actually have the dogs listed on their list. Also, do your homework regarding the cost of adoptions, and whether any of the puppies are purebred. Purebred dogs obviously cost more to acquire and foster, but they will be better with you for the duration of your relationship.
When looking for puppies for sale, you should consider the personality traits of each dog, especially since different breeds have different personality traits. If you prefer a family pet that will grow alongside your children and be gentle with them, you should look for a purebred Rescue Poodle or Standard Poodle. These breeders are usually responsible and diligent about caring for their dogs, and they offer a lifetime of love and companionship. Poodles are also known as highly intelligent, which makes them easy to train despite their playful nature. Poodles are typically calm and quiet, and they make great companions.
You should also consider the overall health and temperament of a dog before deciding how to select a puppy? In particular, you should be concerned with the health problems common to certain breeds, such as hip dysplasia and congenital defects. In addition, you should ask about the history of the breeding pair, including the parents and grandparents, as well as how the animals were treated and what happened to them in their lives. If possible, talk to people who owned the breeder's dogs. Their knowledge of the breed and your comfort level with the answers to your questions will help you make a decision about the best match.
