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

Queen Elizabeth II walks with a group of people and 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.

Hot Weather Tips For Your Dog

A dog enjoying hot weather while playing with water from a hose.

Here at Doggy Times we love the summer! Many people can’t fully enjoy the hot weather because they are afraid of the heat for their pups. There is good news though, your canine can spend time outside if you follow these six easy tips for keeping your dog safe in the heat.

 

1. Give Your Dog Water

To make sure your dog doesn’t overheat means lots of water. It is easy to keep your dog cool and hydrated by carrying a travel water bowl. One that collapses and is easy to carry is ideal. You will also need to pack bottles of water (try to keep them cold if possible). Offer your dog water each hour. If you notice your dog panting a lot, please get her out of the heat and drinking more water.

 

2. Water on the Outside

If there are water options where you are going, ie swimming or other activities in the water then it is easy to help your dog stay cool. It’s a good idea to call ahead and see what water options for dogs are available. Bring a couple towels to help your pup dry off after he swims or plays.

 

3. Avoid Noontime

It’s a good policy to avoid the heat of the day for both you and your dog. The hours of 11am-3pm are when the sun’s heat is the hottest. Avoid exercising during those times. If you do have to go for a walk during these times, take it easy, avoid hot sidewalks that can burn your dog’s paws and bring lots of water for you and your dog!

Top 5 Winter Dog Tips

It’s such a rewarding thing to see your dog’s first time in the snow. Some dogs are better able to play outdoors in the winter weather, though. Here are some winter safety tips for safely playing in the snow so that they can enjoy this season.

Some dog breeds have thinner coats that don’t really protect them in cooler weather. But other dogs are especially well suited for cold weather due to their thicker hair. Always use your best judgment when considering winter exposure. It is important to take in consideration your dog’s hair thickness and also her age. Just like with people, young puppies and older dogs are more sensitive to the cold.

A general guideline is that if you’re freezing in your winter coat, it’s probably too cold for your dog. Keep reading for more cold weather dog tips.

 

1. Build up time in the cold

Begin with small amounts of time outside in the cold and increase the amount of time slowly. “The key is acclimation. If they seem fine and aren’t shivering or trying to get in, it’s perfectly fine for them to stay outside for longer periods as long as they’re building up to it,” advises Dr. RuthAnn Lobos, veterinarian and Purina’s Senior Manager of Training.

2. Make bathroom breaks easy

If possible make sure that an area of the yard is clear so your pup can get to it straight away. Take a look at your yard and see if there is a more sheltered area for your dog to utilize during the cold weather. You can give a treat to encourage more good behavior and avoid indoor accidents.

3. Look out for foreign substances

Winter weather means that homeowners will be using chemicals to defrost their yards. Irritated paws and stomach can be the result of your dog eating rock salt (which isn’t toxic). Be on the lookout for blue and/or green splotches on the ground and keep your pooch away from those spots. It’s also a good idea to quickly wipe your dog’s paws clean before they come back in the house. This has an added benefit of warming up their paws.

4 Long Years Later, Family Dog is Reunited with Family

A couple walking their rescued dog down a path.

After four years of missing their pet, this Michigan family is reunited with their dog.

 

The 12-year-old dog was found wandering in Toledo, Ohio, by a police officer. The dog, named Bambi had been reported lost in Lansing, Michigan. The owner, Bradley Wieferich, was so happy to hear of the unbelievable news.

Not a Prank

Wieferich, told the local Toledo paper, The Blade, that when he first got the phone call from Lucas County Canine Care & Control that he thought it was a prank phone call. Bambi’s microchip stored Wieferich’s contact information for that call.

 

Laura Simmons-Wark, the shelter’s Community Outreach Coordinator, said [Bambi] “was very thin, but very sweet.”

Importance of Microchipping Pets

The shelter shared on social media, that although Bambi’s last four years of life wouldn’t be able to be discovered, they credited the family for microchipping her, which helped the reunion happen.
