Dogs

We recently adopted a rescue puppy, Jack, earlier this year. Now he’s six months old Jack has started digging up my veggie garden while I’m at work! How do I get him to stop?

Eating the same food from the same bowl every morning and night can become a snooze.

My dog Cody kicks up his feet after toileting when we’re out on a walk and it drives me crazy! He’s always flicking dirt everywhere and I desperately would like him to stop – how can I do this?

Thanks to their curious nature, dogs can sniff, lick and chew their way into trouble. Trying to smell and taste almost anything they can locate is part of a dog’s natural behaviour.

As a general rule, the best kind of food for dogs is dog food. A complete, quality dog food will provide all the nutrition your dog needs.

Many medications that are used safely in humans can cause poisoning of your dog. Never give your animal any medications unless under the directions of a veterinarian.

Dogs quite frequently get sick from eating toxic plants. Effects of the toxicity can range from mild to severe depending on the type of plant, the quantity consumed, and the size of the dog.

There are many potentially toxic items that are common around the house.

I’ve just adopted a puppy, Cody, and walking him is a nightmare. He pulls all the time! What can I do?

My dog Monty always gets sick in the car. What can I do to help him?
