Learn How to Wash a Dog

If you've ever found yourself struggling to keep your Terrier's coat in tip top condition or battling to keep the grime off your Golden retriever, this article on Pet Library is a nice, simple tip sheet on how to wash a dog.

From the article:

How Often Should You Give Your Dog A Bath?

In general, how often you bathe your dog will depend on its environment. Is he an inside dog or an outside dog? Does he get dirty eating? Does he have an odor?

A dog's skin and fur vary from breed to breed, just like humans, so if he smells then definitely give the pooch a bath. If he is an outside dog then the weather and parasites will have something to decide in the matter as well (bathing more often).

Canine Lymphoma Diagnosis

Dogs are dying of cancer in alarming numbers. Morris Animal Foundation reports that a staggering 1 in 4 dogs will lose their lives to cancer.

Canine lymphoma is a canine killer. Normally a diagnosis of canine lymphoma is a death sentence for dogs, survival rates have been as low as 2% and the survival time from diagnosis rarely passes two years. But this could all be set to change, as the veterinary industry gears up to take canine lymphoma treatment to the next level.

K9 Magazine has put together a report on Canine Lymphoma that you can download completely free of charge.

Golden Rules of Puppy House Training

Excellent top tip style article on house training a puppy in K9 Magazine.

Golden Rules of Puppy House Training:

  1. Praise (wildly) when they do ‘go’ outside
  2. Never scare or startle the puppy if catching them in the act indoors
  3. Never, ever, under any circumstances rub a dog’s nose in any accidents. THIS DOESN’T WORK and is entirely unhealthy and unpleasant
  4. Try to spot the tell tail signs when your puppy is telling you they need the toilet. These include circling, sniffing in corners, whining for no apparent reason and any time shortly after eating or drinking.
  5. Remember, a small puppy’s bladder is physically very small and they actually can’t hold their toilet movements in for long periods at a time.
  6. It is inevitable that a young puppy WILL have accidents in the home but as they get older and in combination with a well planned house training program, they will get better.
