Pit Bull Throws A Tantrum While At The Vet

If you are a certified dog or animal lover, you undoubtedly have watched several adorable dog videos. Well, let this video featured in this article be added to your playlist. And definitely, you would want to watch it over and over again!

Some dogs might not like taking medicine, bathing, brushing of their teeth, and so on. In such cases, dogs might make a scene, keep on getting away from you, or even throw tantrums.

And when our dogs do have a tantrum, instead of being annoyed or frustrated, sometimes we couldn’t help but even feel somewhat fascinated. Why? Because we would usually expect such behavior from little kids, not animals.

Take the case of Carl’s tantrum as a good example. He is an adorable Pit Bull who dislikes going to the vet clinic. You might imagine him as a toddler not wanting to go to the doctor for fear of injection. However, we always need to consider our dog’s health and well-being first.

Meghan Markle And The Queen Found A Common Ground In Dogs

Meeting your significant other’s family is an anxious event that truly tests your nerves. The main goal is to be liked by them, but you want to keep it genuine and shy away from overselling yourself. Cold sweats and a lot of smiling will be your companion at this moment, but more often than not, everything else falls into place.

For Hollywood actress Meghan Markle, it shouldn’t be hard to please anyone. Her presence alone is enough to charm people around her. In fact, other people should be the ones vying for her approval, instead of the other way around. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, knowing that she is a big TV star from the hit series Suits and a couple of other projects.

There’s only a tiny bit of problem and you might’ve heard about it already – her in-laws are the British Royal Family. Meghan Markle is a big star in Hollywood no doubt, but if anyone’s the bigger star, it’s the Queen. Good thing they found a common interest – their love for dogs.

Obesity: How It Can Be Life Threatening To Your Dogs

Obesity in dogs is as bad as being obese in humans. All the extra weight your dog is carrying around will eventually affect your dog’s other organs. And when there is too much work for each of your dog’s organs, certain medical conditions will occur, and this often leads to death.

It is very important that owners are aware of the seriousness caused by canine obesity. In this post, we will be listing the most common medical conditions obesity can bring to your pets.

Ligaments, joints, and bones are damaged

More or less, one out of every four overweight dog develops some joint issues. Under normal conditions, bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons function together to allow your dog to walk smoothly and efficiently. However, if they carry extra weight around, they become overworked and eventually damaged. The condition is called arthritis.

Furthermore, the increased weight can also affect the ligaments. Ligaments are an important part of the skeletal system since they connect one bone to the other. This knee ligament is prone to wear and tear and once it’s torn, the knee becomes unstable. Your dog will become reluctant to use it because it is also painful. The only way to repair a torn ligament is surgery.

A slipped disc is another disease that can occur if your dog is carrying all that extra weight around. Some dog breeds, like Dachshunds, are prone to developing this painful condition. So if you own one, see to it that they don’t become overweight.

Diabetes

Dogs can develop diabetes too. When a dog is obese, the extra weight will cause the body to increase insulin production. This is in response to the increased glucose level in the overweight dog. If the body is no longer able to supply the insulin needed, diabetes will occur.

Hypertension and heart disease

Obesity causes hypertension in dogs which often results in the increased workload of the heart. This condition will eventually lead to congestive heart failure.

The Seattle based e-commerce powerhouse stated that dogs and people share workspaces. According to a blog on the company’s website, it said that about 6,000 dogs were taking part in this dog-friendly arrangement.

 

This dog culture was started by one, Rufus, a Welsh Corgi that a husband and wife team brought to work one day. Very quickly Rufus made friends with the human teammates.

Just like People, Dog’s faces change when People Pay Attention

Did you know that dogs can change faces when they know you are looking at them? It could be a try at communicating with you!

 

During the study, it was observed that when a dog looked into a human’s eyes they would lift their inner eyebrows which made their eyes look bigger and more innocent. This face is also known as a “sad puppy dog face.”

 

This interesting trait adds to researchers level of understanding of canines. Dogs have been human’s best friend for a very long time. Probably some 30,000 years give or take that dogs have lived next to us as companions.

 

Dogs are always monitoring people according to research. They watch how we move, the gestures we make and look at our faces. Domesticated dogs do this more than even wolf puppies that have been raised by hand by people.

 

“Dogs read human gestures and communicative signals in ways other animals can’t,” investigator Juliane Kaminski, a psychologist at the U.K.’s University of Portsmouth stated.
