Dog Crazy Newsletter Saturday October 31, 2009     Dogs Gone Wild  Amazing Photos Hi Readers, Dogs can be wild! I mean really wild! Some of the athletic things they do would probably paralyze you or me, but dogs just do it and keep on going. They don't miss a beat. To stay strong and healthy, all dogs need good nutrition - especially active dogs.  Some dog foods, such as Eukanuba, have formulated foods that include prebiotics to help maximize your dog's health. Prebiotics aid in the absorption of essential minerals, including calcium. They also support immune system function and intestinal regularity. Humans who used prebiotics have even demonstrated a reduction in the risk for colon cancer and irritable bowel disorders such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Prebiotics help maintain the right balance between good and bad bacteria to aid digestion and absorption of nutrients. They also encourage strong defenses with a healthy immune system.   Now, check out these photos. These dogs are really something. "My dream is to be a Baywatch lifeguard!"   Submitted by:  Ann Andress "I do a great doggy paddle."   Submitted by:  Kenneth DeKoven "Look ... I made a snow angel!"   Submitted by:  Linette Weston   "Huddle up! Hey ... that little guy's not on our team!" Submitted by:  Tyrone McCoy I hope you enjoyed these photos ... I know I sure did! Until next time, Dr. Jon P.S. Choosing the right food for your dog is important. It can help keep him healthy and active like the dogs in these photos. Eukanuba offers a food with prebiotics that work to strengthen your dog's immune system, which strengthens his defenses against harmful diseases.  Prebiotics stimulate the growth of good bacteria in your dog's digestive tract, which helps your dog absorb nutrients. This can promote healthy growth in a dog, so he can reach his full potential. P.S. Eukanuba is offering a $5.00 coupon to try their foods. To learn more about prebiotics in dog foods, or to try one of these healthy Eukanuba dog foods, Go to: http://www.eukanuba.com/EukGlobal/US/en/jsp/hercules/HerculesLanding.jsp TODAY'S SPECIAL SAVINGS OFFER TODAY'S PET TIP Healthy Dog Teeth Keeping your dog's teeth clean can help keep your dog healthy. Use a soft toothbrush. A child's toothbrush for small dogs is ideal; an adult size should be used for larger dogs. Use toothpaste formulated especially for pets, available at pet supply stores or your veterinarian's office. Begin by only brushing the outside surfaces of the teeth. When your pet has adjusted to this, add the inside surfaces between the teeth and tongue.

Here are some general rules: For puppies (less than 8-9 months and less than 30 pounds): Feed your puppy a consistent canned, semi-moist or dry dog food designed for puppies. If your dog weighs more than 30 pounds, dry food is preferred for greater caloric density. For adult dogs: Feed your dog a consistent canned, semi-moist or dry dog food designed for an "adult" dog. All the above are adequate as long as it is a good quality food. If your dog weighs more than 30 pounds, dry food is preferred for greater caloric density.   © Copyright 1999-2009Intelligent Content Corp., All Rights Reserved petplace.com | 20283 State Road 7, Suite 400 | Boca Raton | FL | 33498

The Big Chill: Cold Weather Care for Dogs

To view this email as a web page, go here.

Dog Crazy Newsletter Friday October 30, 2009     The Big Chill: Cold Weather Care for Dogs Hi Readers, Some areas of the country have already seen their first frost, snow and freezing temperatures. But even if temperatures in your neck of the woods haven't dipped that low yet, you need to be prepared. The Big Chill could arrive any day now. This is one of the most dangerous times of the year for dogs. Are you prepared for your dog's cold weather care? Just because our furry friends have natural "coats" to keep them warm, that doesn't mean they don't feel the chill. Falling temperatures can be just as brutal on your dog as they are on you. So today, I'm going to tell you how you can help keep your dog warm, safe and healthy. During cold weather, take special precautions to keep your dog comfortable, both indoors and out. A nice warm sweater, a comfy heated bed ... these things can make a real difference. When harsh weather comes, it is much more uncomfortable for your dog to go outdoors. But regardless of the weather, he must still go out several times a day. So, how much outside time is too much for your dog? Here's a good rule of thumb. When you're out with your dog and you start to feel cold and uncomfortable, it's a pretty safe bet that your dog will be feeling it, too. During the cold snowy months ahead, your dog will run the risk of picking up rock salt, ice and chemicals on his paws each time he uses the sidewalks, driveway and streets. There is a tendency for dogs to lick the salt off their paws, which can cause inflammation in the digestive tract. That's why it's so important to wipe your dog's paws thoroughly every time he comes inside, and make sure there are no ice balls between his toes or on the soles of his feet. Whether you have a dog that loves to play in the snow or a timid pup that just dashes out quickly to do his "business", your dog can get mighty dirty every time he goes out that door. It's up to you to clean him up ... but you will need to take special precautions. It's risky to bathe your dog in cold weather because he could easily catch a cold. Keep baths short, dry him quickly and keep him as warm as possible to prevent chills and illness. Here are some good cold weather rules to follow: 1. Never bathe your dog outdoors in cold weather. 2. Never let a wet dog outside in the winter. 3. Wash your dog indoors in a warm place. 4. Make it quick. Bathe and dry your dog as quickly as possible. 5. Turn up the heat in your home before giving your dog a bath. 6. After his bath, "towel dry" your dog. Or, use a hair dryer set to "low to dry him even faster. 7. During cold weather, exercise is a good way to help stimulate circulation and warm your dog up after a bath. I found a very quick and easy way to wash your dog indoors, which is perfect for this time of year. I use the Rapid Bath power-wash system. It attaches to your shower in seconds, and you can give your dog a very good bath in under 5 minutes. If you haven't seen the Rapid Bath, you should check it out.  My staff and I swear by it. Until next time, Dr. Jon P.S.  Now is a great time to get a Rapid Bath for your dog. This product regularly sells for $79.99, but for a limited time you can buy it at PetProductAdvisor.com for just $29.99. That's a $50 savings! Rapid Bath really makes cold weather bathing quick and easy. (And at less than $30, it also makes a great holiday gift.) To learn more about this amazing dog washing tool, just click on the video below, or go to:   http://www.petproductadvisor.com/store/mc/rapid-bath.aspx P.P.S.  Here's another good hint for cold-weather bathing. Your dog's skin can dry out a little during winter months, so try one of the Rapid Bath nourishing shampoos.   TODAY'S SPECIAL SAVINGS OFFER TODAY'S PET TIP How Often to Bathe a Dog That all depends on your pet. Factors include: his hair coat, hair length, how often he gets dirty, where he lives (if he is indoor or outdoors most of the time), shedding cycle, and any underlying skin problem (please see our related article, "Top Medical Reasons for Grooming Your Dog"). Some dogs need baths only a couple times year while others need weekly grooming. It is beneficial to brush your dog about twice a week. Bathing your dog every month or two isn't unreasonable, but some dogs will need more frequent cleanings. A good rule of thumb is to bathe your pet only when his coat gets dirty or begins to smell "doggy." © Copyright 1999-2009 Intelligent Content Corp., All Rights Reserved petplace.com | 20283 State Road 7, Suite 400 | Boca Raton | FL | 33498

Trick or Treat for Your Dog - Healthy Dog Treat Tips

To view this email as a web page, go here.

Dog Crazy Newsletter Thursday October 29, 2009     Trick or Treat for Your Dog - Healthy Dog Treat Tips Hi Readers, A month or so ago I sent an email called "Tips for Healthy Dog Treats". I got tons of emails from you saying you loved the ideas and you wanted more. So, I'd like to share a couple more ideas with you. As you may recall, we talked about the fact that obesity in dogs is a major health concern. Canine obesity can lead to very serious health problems like diabetes, pancreatitis, arthritis and heart disease. At the same time, dogs love treats! Last week, I gave you some suggestions for treats or snacks that included: • Vegetables - Try some cooked green beans, carrots or peas. Many pets love them, and you can even mix them into their regular diet. • For many pets, rice, popcorn and pasta are favorites. A bit of a rice cake or some air popped popcorn is a great healthy substitute for a high fat treat. Here are a couple more ideas: • You can give your dog some cooked rice that can be added for bulk to a weight control diet. It's a way of giving your pet more food without adding a lot of fat calories. • Cooked pasta is also great. Many pets relish a few elbow macaroni or other plain pasta. I hope these suggestions are helpful! Until next time, Dr. Jon P.S.  If you don't feel like cooking, you can buy commercially made dog treats. Make sure they are of good quality and that they do not replace your dog's core good quality diet. Hill's® Science Diet® has an awesome line of treats called Simple Essentials™ Treats. These great tasting treats help with everything from immune support and mobility to oral health care. They even have a light treat that helps manage your dog's weight. These yummy treats are a great way for you to show your dog some love without sacrificing nutrition. Give them a try.  Right now, you can go to the Hill's® website for a special coupon that lets you SAVE $1 on your next purchase of Hill's® Science Diet® Simple Essentials™ Treats. To get your coupon, go to: http://www.hillspet.com/treats/index.jsp TODAY'S SPECIAL SAVINGS OFFER TODAY'S PET TIP Understanding How Dogs Can Eat That While dogs excel in the listening department, their sense of taste is a bit less refined. This is certainly evident in some of the things they find tasty. Compared to humans, dogs have approximately 1/5 the number of taste buds. Perhaps this serves as an explanation for the little complaints we receive for feeding them dog food. Discovering your dog's sensory levels, breed-related instincts, relative intelligence and comprehension is simply a start to understanding your dog. Relationships between dogs and their human family are incredibly complex, however a little knowledge can greatly increase your understanding. © Copyright 1999-2009Intelligent Content Corp., All Rights Reserved petplace.com | 20283 State Road 7, Suite 400 | Boca Raton | FL | 33498
