They were worshipped as sacred animals and kept as pets by pharaohs and other members of high society. Today, cats are one of the most popular pets in the world, with millions of households welcoming them into their homes. Learn more about the history and domestication of cats in this article. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Cats are believed to have first been domesticated in the Near East, around 10,000 years ago. This was around the time when humans first began to settle down and engage in agriculture, which provided a reliable food source for rodents. It's believed that cats were attracted to the rodent populations and began to hunt them, leading to a symbiotic relationship between cats and humans.</p><p>Over time, cats began to live closer to humans and were eventually welcomed into their homes. The ancient Egyptians are known for their reverence of cats, and they believed that they had sacred qualities. Cats were often depicted in artwork and were even mummified and buried with their owners.</p><p>Cats also spread to other parts of the world, including Europe and Asia. They were often used for pest control on ships and became popular among sailors. In Japan, cats were highly regarded and even had their own temple dedicated to them.</p><p>It's important to note that the domestication of cats was different from that of dogs. While dogs were bred for specific traits and purposes, such as hunting or herding, cats were simply allowed to live alongside humans and were not specifically bred for certain qualities.</p><p>Today, cats are one of the most popular pets in the world, with an estimated 600 million cats living in households around the globe. They continue to be beloved for their affectionate personalities, independent nature, and their ability to keep homes free of rodents.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-41893681599504400622023-02-26T04:44:00.011-08:002023-02-26T04:48:47.468-08:00About<p>Pets are beloved animals that people keep in their homes for companionship, entertainment, and sometimes for practical purposes such as hunting or pest control.

This article breaks down what to look for when reading dog food labels to make an informed decision. Choosing the right dog food is important for your pet's health and wellbeing.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a> When it comes to reading labels, there are a few key things to look for to ensure you're choosing a high-quality, nutritious food that meets your dog's unique needs. Here's a guide to reading dog food labels:<p></p><p>1. Look for a named protein source as the first ingredient. This could be chicken, beef, lamb, or another high-quality protein source. Ideally, this ingredient should be listed as the first ingredient on the label. Avoid foods that list vague ingredients such as "meat" or "animal by-products."</p><p>2. Check for a balance of macronutrients. Dogs need a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates in their diets. Look for foods that provide around 20-30% protein, 15-20% fat, and 30-40% carbohydrates. The exact percentages may vary depending on your dog's breed, age, and activity level.</p><p>3. Avoid artificial preservatives and additives. Look for foods that use natural preservatives such as tocopherols (vitamin E) or ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Avoid foods that contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.</p><p>4. Check for AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) certification. This means the food meets the minimum nutritional requirements for dogs.</p><p>5. Consider your dog's unique needs. If your dog has specific dietary needs, such as a grain-free or low-fat diet, look for foods that cater to those needs.</p><p>6. Read the feeding instructions carefully. Different foods have different feeding guidelines based on your dog's weight and activity level. Make sure you're feeding your dog the appropriate amount for their needs.</p><p>Overall, it's important to choose a high-quality, nutritious food that meets your dog's unique needs. Reading labels carefully can help ensure you're making the best choice for your furry friend.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-75364712289722867812023-02-25T20:53:00.002-08:002023-02-25T20:53:12.695-08:00Dog Park Etiquette: Dos and Don'ts for a Safe and Fun Visit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="830" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaFl0TGeRgS9LUh3yq3lhVjDMzfeZkFJKsm5C3_5Hd2cQwCFqtDSTxsz3SXwcw1h0kee4pFigxWT1ZknomLEwE3uXry88IrkDpO-nIlRez8P3Ywmy7kGd9MTBDhqrxa8eSGcIppF_SXu8TR4DzaL24D22NkdiM38Dez5sFRC_RWIJtssE2SHsO6ekGw/s320/fjlkfdjlkdl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-health-benefits-of-dog-ownership.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Going to the dog park</span></a> can be a great way for your pup to socialize and burn off some energy, but it's important to follow proper etiquette to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.</p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a> Visiting a dog park can be a great way for your furry friend to get exercise, socialize, and have fun.

Here's how:<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Lowering Stress:</p><p>Dogs are known to be great companions, and spending time with your furry friend can help you feel less stressed. Research has shown that petting a dog can release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes feelings of relaxation and happiness. Additionally, spending time with a dog can help you feel more connected to nature and the world around you, which can also reduce stress levels.</p><p>Lowering Blood Pressure:</p><p>Studies have also found that owning a dog can help lower blood pressure. One study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that people who owned dogs had lower blood pressure levels than those who did not. This is likely due to the fact that spending time with a dog can help reduce stress levels, which in turn can help lower blood pressure.</p><p>Overall, the health benefits of dog ownership are numerous, and can help improve both your physical and mental health. However, it's important to note that owning a dog is a big responsibility, and requires a commitment of time, money, and effort. Before bringing a dog into your home, make sure you're prepared to provide the care and attention that your furry friend needs.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-89795263194962965472023-02-25T20:35:00.006-08:002023-02-25T20:42:23.971-08:00How to Introduce Your Dog to a New Baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="779" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgszzOxHli65EKF2E2F2rlBJk0Cg9a1_waATw4XotAlNW7rioIR9CnmeLg_b4O8oZvWjS_PToEDbZsxh-y8az_dduXma_la0No9pBs3Zr33fbWa0RL5MGDfxIiD37ZZPCjivqGOe3m4MIv2NJsMXOu18wSxSUJ4UAYBkNSFRW9EY4JwTnOBZ4NGSxfY5w/s320/qqqqqqqqqqq.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>"<a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-top-10-dog-friendly-cities-in.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Tips for a Smooth Transition</span></a>" - Bringing a new baby home can be a big adjustment for your dog. This article provides advice on how to make the transition as easy as possible. Introducing a new baby to your dog can be a big adjustment for both your furry friend and your family. Here are some tips for a smooth transition:<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>1. Start early: Begin preparing your dog for the new baby well before the baby's arrival. This will give your dog time to adjust to any changes in routine and behavior.</p><p>2. Socialize your dog: If your dog is not used to being around children, it's important to socialize them before the baby arrives. Take your dog to places where children are present and allow them to interact with kids in a controlled environment.</p><p>3. Establish boundaries: Set up boundaries around the house before the baby arrives. Designate certain areas as off-limits to your dog, such as the baby's nursery, and use baby gates or other barriers to enforce these boundaries.</p><p>4. Use positive reinforcement: Reward your dog with treats, praise, and affection for good behavior around the baby. This will help reinforce positive associations between the dog and the baby.</p><p>5. Supervise interactions: Always supervise interactions between your dog and the baby, especially in the beginning. Be patient and take your time allowing your dog to become comfortable with the baby.</p><p>6. Maintain routine: Stick to your dog's routine as much as possible after the baby arrives. This will help your dog feel more secure and less anxious during the transition.</p><p>7. Seek professional help: If your dog is exhibiting signs of aggression or anxiety around the baby, seek professional help from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist.</p><p>Remember that introducing your dog to a new baby can take time and patience, but with the right approach, your dog and your family can all adjust to the new addition together.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-22850374106049106412023-02-25T20:26:00.004-08:002023-02-25T20:42:35.161-08:00The Top 10 Dog-Friendly Cities in the United States<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="760" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBwtity7IBJvcPOFCsbS9HsfrY7LMpHkrY_Is8-sAeq94nfTp9zCTPXJwOolAC30DzBvZlwVF9Do_ocXvuwv8BGldY664gfy_SeWOysFxHj3MqlwUEAutyLo2OzxqWkzbx-h48d1X6TONgI4fbFbrenPqASnQ-W4pcQX02uuY2WIoYBM-NpXOFbRk-w/s320/ggggg.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>If you're planning a trip with your furry friend, check out this article for information on the most dog-friendly cities in the US. <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-history-of-dogs-from-wolf-ancestors.html" target="_blank">There are many dog-friendly cities in the United States</a>, but here are ten cities that are particularly welcoming to our furry friends:<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>1.

This article explores the evolution of dogs from wolves to the beloved pets we know today. <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-to-care-for-your-dogs-teeth-guide.html" target="_blank">Dogs</a> have been loyal companions to humans for thousands of years, but their history stretches back even further, to their wolf ancestors. The evolution of dogs from wolves to domesticated companions is a fascinating story that sheds light on both the natural and cultural processes that have shaped our relationship with these animals.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>The exact timeline of dog domestication is still a subject of debate among scientists, but most agree that it occurred between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of dog-like canids comes from fossils found in Europe and Siberia, dating back to the Last Glacial Maximum around 20,000 years ago.</p><p>At this time, wolves and humans were both apex predators and shared similar ecological niches. It's likely that wolves began to scavenge on human garbage and leftovers, gradually becoming more tolerant of human presence. This would have led to a symbiotic relationship between wolves and humans, as the animals provided early warning systems and hunting assistance while humans provided a reliable source of food.</p><p>Over time, some wolves would have become more and more accustomed to human presence, eventually becoming the first domesticated dogs. These dogs would have had some physical and behavioral differences from their wild ancestors, such as a reduced flight response, decreased aggression towards humans, and changes in their digestive systems to better digest human food.</p><p>The first domesticated dogs would have been used primarily for utilitarian purposes, such as hunting, guarding, and herding. In fact, many modern dog breeds can be traced back to specific working roles, such as the Greyhound's use in coursing or the Border Collie's role in herding sheep.</p><p>As human society evolved, so too did the role of dogs. Dogs became increasingly valued as companions and were bred for their physical and behavioral traits rather than their utilitarian value. This led to the development of many different dog breeds, each with their own unique characteristics and purposes.</p><p>Today, dogs are beloved pets and companions, serving as emotional support animals, therapy animals, and even service animals for people with disabilities. They are cherished members of our families and play an important role in our lives.</p><p>In conclusion, the history of dogs is a fascinating journey that began with their wolf ancestors and continues to this day. Dogs have evolved alongside humans for thousands of years, serving as trusted companions and partners in our daily lives. The bond between humans and dogs is a testament to the power of symbiotic relationships and the remarkable ability of animals to adapt and thrive in changing environments.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-28492172454211067132023-02-25T19:52:00.002-08:002023-02-25T19:52:17.203-08:00How to Care for Your Dog's Teeth: A Guide to Dental Health<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="886" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFXGImszeeeyZjQZttgg3VIqg_KKIKMaFY_hCCdQDLvE2eADdEARGu1hkRrCHAdfuunxL32Zg4ohDbEKyNLgQpESRYPqnEgkygw6gi84ikqh3J_5gZdGz8buR1GhrT1zDsQB-K0wEV_IgIehEIKaWxRcX1qi8N9Scr6HOTAWbJOQZPzxD13o-gfzSPYg/s320/teeth.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Dental health is important for dogs, too!

Neglecting your dog's oral health can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even systemic health problems. Here are some tips on how to keep your dog's teeth clean and healthy:</p><p>1. Brush your dog's teeth regularly: Ideally, you should brush your dog's teeth every day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and dog-specific toothpaste. If your dog is not used to having their teeth brushed, start slowly and gradually increase the frequency until they become comfortable with the process.</p><p>2. Provide chew toys: Chewing helps clean a dog's teeth by reducing plaque and tartar buildup. Offer your dog sturdy chew toys made of safe materials such as rubber or nylon. Avoid bones, antlers, or other hard items that can damage your dog's teeth.</p><p>3. Use dental treats and chews: There are many dental treats and chews available that can help reduce plaque and freshen your dog's breath. Look for products that are specifically designed for dental health and have the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of approval.</p><p>4. Schedule regular dental checkups: Just like humans, dogs need regular dental checkups to detect and treat dental problems early. Talk to your veterinarian about scheduling professional dental cleanings for your dog.</p><p>5. Monitor your dog's diet: A healthy diet can promote dental health in dogs. Avoid feeding your dog sugary treats or human food, which can contribute to dental problems. Instead, feed your dog a balanced diet of high-quality dog food.</p><p>By following these tips, you can help keep your dog's teeth clean and healthy, which can improve their overall health and well-being. Remember to always consult with your veterinarian for personalized recommendations on how to care for your dog's teeth.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-52530868369304141312023-02-25T19:28:00.002-08:002023-02-25T19:28:11.980-08:00The Different Types of Dogs: From Chihuahuas to Great Danes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-to-train-your-dog-to-stop-barking.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="459" data-original-width="755" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcTAd0ld7wLkK8ouAKr42SNifEgk4o1lhWDCT2Lmnz9oNC_N-mqW7NLe0Y7LWXZg8KzXJWBKvq3sX2IWuF8TEfHAVSh9D6SHBq8w_fKvuUdd4klMD1Ijie4DBd5W-LS0wTSJfuDNptlLY8p2sWkluZTnkn5jvTI0-x4i6U4Ztcg3xhy-kcUvf8H4GSQ/s320/rttt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Learn about the many <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-to-train-your-dog-to-stop-barking.html" target="_blank">different breeds of dogs</a>, from tiny toy dogs to massive giants, and find out which one might be the right fit for you.

Barking is a natural behavior for dogs, but it can be frustrating when it becomes excessive or disruptive. Here are some tips and tricks to help you train your dog to stop barking:<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>1. Identify the cause of the barking: Before you can address the barking, you need to understand why your dog is barking. Dogs bark for many reasons, including boredom, anxiety, fear, territorial behavior, or to get attention. Observing your dog's behavior and the situations that trigger the barking can help you determine the cause.</p><p>2. Positive reinforcement training: Use positive reinforcement training to teach your dog to be quiet on command. When your dog barks, say "quiet" and wait for them to stop. As soon as they stop barking, give them a treat and praise them. With repetition, your dog will learn to associate the command with being quiet and will respond to it.</p><p>3. Distraction training: Distract your dog from barking by redirecting their attention to a toy, treat, or activity. If your dog barks when someone comes to the door, for example, give them a toy or treat to distract them. Over time, your dog will learn to associate the doorbell with getting a treat instead of barking.</p><p>4. Teach your dog to "speak" and "quiet": Teach your dog to bark on command by saying "speak" and rewarding them when they bark. Once they have mastered this, teach them the "quiet" command and reward them when they stop barking. This will help your dog learn to control their barking and respond to your commands.</p><p>5. Exercise and mental stimulation: Dogs need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Make sure your dog gets enough physical activity and mental stimulation through playtime, walks, and puzzle toys. A tired dog is less likely to bark excessively.</p><p>6. Avoid reinforcing barking: Avoid reinforcing your dog's barking by not giving them attention or treats when they bark. Instead, reward them when they are quiet and calm.</p><p>7. Seek professional help: If your dog's barking is severe, persistent, or is caused by anxiety or fear, seek professional help from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist. They can help you identify the cause of the barking and develop a training plan to address it.</p><p>Remember that training your <i>dog</i> to stop barking takes time, patience, and consistency. With the right training techniques and a positive attitude, you can teach your dog to bark less and enjoy a more peaceful home.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-51358019444411624372023-02-25T19:12:00.008-08:002023-02-25T19:28:55.102-08:00The Benefits of Owning a Dog: From Companionship to Health<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="920" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjblkEaQoheoWr0eyByyGkxV9kWhoMySA53Cveb3-YearUUqBugyMBOn2C3kRslsWXUvgWJyCzTL72Wm0NJ5keT5fXvsEvd21QpfFYL_0XJNOKkV3PfSZ2WIVbTHIoFGnfS_WO87ZKlgPYxpcY5tcrIpnAXs98rqBoIiY0tbALWUkqRFO6MX1-m67rfjg/s320/dog%20human.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>This article explores the many positive aspects of having <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-enduring-appeal-of-dogs.html" target="_blank">a dog as a pet</a>, including the mental and physical health benefits that come with dog ownership</p><p>Owning a dog can bring many benefits to your life.

However, prevention efforts may not always work. There is just a gap for worms to enter the dog's body.</p><p>Well, you also need to know the characteristics of a dog with worms and how to deal with them. Check out the full explanation in the following review.</p><p><b>Characteristics of Worm Dogs</b></p><p>Symptoms of worms in dogs can vary depending on the type of parasite that is causing it. However, there are some signs of worms in dogs that you can pay attention to.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Diarrhea or vomiting</li><li>Abdominal pain, characterized by a distended stomach</li><li>Weight loss</li><li>The dog's coat looks unkempt</li><li>The dog looks lethargic</li><li>The dog is dehydrated</li><li>Malnutrition</li><li>Anemia</li><li>Intestinal blockage or pneumonia</li><li>Bleeding in the stool (bright red or dark purple)</li></ul><p></p><p>“Dogs with intestinal worms often rub their buttocks against the floor or walls. Usually dogs also walk with a little shuffling. In fact, in cases of severe worms, the dog's skin looks yellow, especially on the eye mucosa and gums</p><p>Actually, signs of worms in dogs are quite difficult to recognize. If you find the above symptoms in your pet, visit the vet immediately to get a thorough examination.</p><p>If not handled properly, intestinal worms can cause serious health problems. This disease can infect other dogs. In fact, several types of worms can infect humans.</p><p>Therefore, always clean up dog poop carefully and make sure your pet is always healthy.</p><p><b>Causes of Dog Worms</b></p><p>There are four types of worms in dogs that commonly cause infection, namely roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms.</p><p>Some roundworms, such as Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonine, can even absorb nutrients from infected dogs.</p><p>Maybe you are wondering why dogs have worms? Actually, worms in dogs are a relatively common condition. This is because worms called intestinal parasites can attack dogs through various modes of transmission.</p><p>Here are some conditions that cause worms in dogs, namely:</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">1. Transmission from the Mother Dog</h4><p>Roundworms and hookworms can penetrate the uterus. That is why, the condition of puppies with worms can occur from birth.</p><p>Worms can also be transmitted through the mother's milk. This is a very common route of roundworm infection.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">2. Dogs Swallow Contaminated Soil</h4><p>The main source of infection with roundworms, hookworms and other whipworms in dogs is contaminated soil.</p><p>The parasites live in the intestines and lay their eggs in the dog's faeces, then are excreted and contaminate the soil. After a while, the feces on the ground will disappear, but the parasites persist for years.</p><p>Dogs are usually infected when grooming themselves and consuming something in contaminated soil. Soil that is also swallowed will cause the dog to have intestinal worms.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">3. Walking on Contaminated Soil</h4><p>This type of hookworm can be contagious even when dogs walk on contaminated soil. The parasite can penetrate any part of a dog's skin when it comes into contact with infected soil, such as a leg or stomach.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">4. Eating Other Infected Animals</h4><p>Dogs can also get intestinal worms if they eat other contaminated animals, such as rats.</p><p>Roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, and whipworm infections can all be transmitted this way. What's more, rodents can catch worms in the same way as dogs.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">5. Transmission from Dog Fleas</h4><p>Tapeworm infection is the only intestinal parasite that can be transmitted by ticks and no other way. A dog will only get it if it eats a flea carrying tapeworm eggs.</p><p><b>How to Deal with Worm Dogs</b></p><p>One of the most recommended ways to deal with worms in dogs is to use deworming drugs. However, the dosage of the drug and the duration of its use must be with a doctor's advice.</p><p>Not all worms respond to the same treatment. The use of deworming drugs without a doctor's prescription is not recommended because they are less effective.</p><p>The vet must first confirm the condition of the dog through a stool examination. After knowing the type of worms in dogs, the drug and the right dosage are determined.</p><p>This deworming medication for dogs is used to stop the reproduction and eradicate worms from the dog's body. Treatment will be effective if you also regularly clean the dog's cage and environment.</p><p>Regular visits to the vet and monthly deworming can help protect your dog from heartworms and intestinal parasites.</p><p>Giving deworming drugs every month to pregnant dogs can also prevent worm infections from decreasing to puppies from the time they are in the womb to weaning. Later, puppies can start taking deworming drugs after the completion of the nursing period.</p><p>Here are some other ways to help dogs avoid worms:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Dog cleaning routine. Dogs that have had worms can become infected again if the environment is not clean</li><li>Avoid being exposed to other pets for too long</li><li>Use flea medication on your dog to keep his coat clean and prevent tapeworms from laying eggs</li><li>Don't let your dog eat rodents, wild animals or carrion</li></ul><p></p><p>Having a dog means you have to take care of it to keep it healthy. One of the ways is by paying attention to cleanliness so that your pet rabbit is not infected with worms.</p><p>If you find dangerous symptoms in your dog, such as diarrhea, weakness, lack of appetite, vomiting, and others, contact your veterinarian immediately</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-28387492204765432942023-02-16T16:26:00.005-08:002023-02-25T19:29:32.216-08:007 Good Puppy Foods for Their Health<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="607" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-maoXKutyTT3l2r16Qpqjy17CwVoWXRwdEi0F3g1TvhEzncr_0K9_t8weYXUWswbZNVWaw0p9NiykwAL_StyegKstwBy3jM4F1sFq8Gst5AMMLZoRK0eS9gBAmqfMWY7pf2vSiTFzUDS5WhkXNt6XTWBueBg5PI56zNjVw0D39GtEy_P4k6EstMILiQ/s320/little%20dog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>From birth to 1 month old, puppies need to consume mother's milk. <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-right-way-to-take-care-of-newborn.html" target="_blank">After that, then they can eat other dog food, including human food</a>.</p><p>Usually, puppies also need to be given food at least 4 times a day so that their nutrition is fulfilled, you know.

Basically, the mother dog will provide all the necessary care for her puppies. However, if the puppies have been separated from their mother, or if the mother dog has “rejected” the puppies, or is unable to produce enough milk, that is another story. Well, this is where you will play an important role. For those of you who still don't know how to care for newborn puppies, here are some tips you need to know. 1. Choose the Right Place How to care for newborn puppies begins with setting up a clean, safe and comfortable place to live. Newborn puppies spend their first few weeks in the box or crate they were born in. So, it is important to choose the place where he lives (cage) wisely. Puppy housing should provide enough space for the mother to lie down comfortably, without disturbing the comfort of her puppies. The place must be able to provide access for the mother dog to go in and out freely while still 'locking up' her puppies. Around the end of the second week or the beginning of the third week, the puppies will open their eyes and become more active. Once they start to get active, you can move them to a bigger dog crate with a play area. 2. Warmth How to care for newborn puppies also needs to pay attention to the condition of their body warmth. Puppies cannot regulate their body temperature and must be protected from drafts or cold air. Although puppies will snuggle with their mother for warmth, you need to provide other alternatives. For example, using a heat lamp during its first month of life. The light should be placed high enough above the box or crate, to prevent the risk of the mother or puppies touching the light. On the other hand, there should be a corner or cooler area that the puppy can walk into if the crate gets too hot. During the first five days, the temperature in the cage should be maintained at around 29.4 to 32.2 degrees Celsius. 3. Ensure Nutritional Intake is Fulfilled A mother dog's milk provides everything a puppy needs for the first four weeks of life. If you are raising a motherless puppy, talk to your vet for guidance on how to bottle feed newborn puppies. Be sure to use milk specially formulated for puppies, as cow's milk and other milk substitutes can cause diarrhea. 4. Watch the Time Another way to care for newborn puppies is to pay attention to the time when giving them food. Puppies generally nurse at least every two hours in their first week of life. As they develop and grow, the intervals between feedings increase. At around four weeks of age, puppies can begin to transition from nursing to eating solid food. 5. Teach Socialization By the fourth week puppies are ready to begin socializing with humans and other dogs. Weeks four through twelve is a "critical" period in which puppies need to learn about the environment they will be living in. That way, they will be happy dogs and adapt to their environment." target="_blank">puppies</a>? Basically, the mother dog will provide all the necessary care for her puppies.

For example, using a heat lamp during its first month of life.</p><p>The light should be placed high enough above the box or crate, to prevent the risk of the mother or puppies touching the light.</p><p>On the other hand, there should be a corner or cooler area that the puppy can walk into if the crate gets too hot. During the first five days, the temperature in the cage should be maintained at around 29.4 to 32.2 degrees Celsius.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">3. Ensure Nutritional Intake is Fulfilled</h4><p>A mother dog's milk provides everything a puppy needs for the first four weeks of life. If you are raising a motherless puppy, talk to your vet for guidance on how to bottle feed newborn puppies.</p><p>Be sure to use milk specially formulated for puppies, as cow's milk and other milk substitutes can cause diarrhea.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">4. Watch the Time</h4><p>Another way to care for newborn puppies is to pay attention to the time when giving them food. Puppies generally nurse at least every two hours in their first week of life. As they develop and grow, the intervals between feedings increase. At around four weeks of age, puppies can begin to transition from nursing to eating solid food.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">5. Teach Socialization</h4><p>By the fourth week puppies are ready to begin socializing with humans and other dogs. Weeks four through twelve is a "critical" period in which puppies need to learn about the environment they will be living in. That way, they will be happy dogs and adapt to their environment.</p><div><br /></div>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-15207427246462409672023-02-14T05:04:00.003-08:002023-02-25T19:30:00.015-08:0010 Ways to Take Care of the Right Poodle, Don't Take the Wrong Step<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="743" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJJCEsVrgQ6GW_lRFGRLzAZzPqrpACBb-6lV0lK2Pm1ztEX_dL2fL_MVs20750LiiH4fB6YfNSG9TCHMKowFvNP54GdWridx-UjJ4C8wxMZrCmNYUHNrWI_4p3KUyd749TLg_yzs4WnSPuC2gbbP-soSwZvfozgemTa-1M-LBQd2S5uo4rrNWQ-D1pQ/s320/poodle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Poodles or poodles are one <a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/to-keep-anabul-clean-and-healthy-this.html" target="_blank">type of dog</a> that is easy to care for.

Come on, let's see what dog grooming is and how to do it below!</p><p>Just like other pets, dogs also need to be kept clean. For this reason, grooming needs to be done regularly to help remove dirt, bacteria, parasites, body odor, and other diseases.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from bringing your dog to a grooming salon, you can also do your own grooming at home. However, make sure you know what to clean.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, so you don't take the wrong step, let's see what dog grooming is and how to do it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is Dog Grooming?</p><p>Dog grooming is a treatment for cleaning puppies from various kinds of dirt, improving their physical appearance, and maintaining their health. This treatment is an important part of improving a dog's quality of life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dog grooming sessions should be carried out regularly by cleaning ears, eyes, brushing teeth and trimming nails. By doing treatment, you can also find signs of health problems that dogs may experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>To do grooming at home, you must have tools such as nail clippers, special dog shampoo and moisturizer, and other supporting equipment.</p><p>Steps to Grooming Dogs</p><p>If this is your first time keeping a dog and doing grooming, this activity might be confusing. Especially if you don't know what to do during grooming.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, you don't need to worry. Here are some procedures for treating dogs, including:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Clean the Dog's Ear Area</p><p>Use a damp cloth to clean the folds and ears of the dog. You can also use cotton balls or gauze. Use ear drops specifically for dogs to clean the inside of the ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Avoid using cotton buds because they can push dirt into and injure the eardrum.</p><p>2. Clean Nose</p><p>A healthy dog's nose is usually moist. However, if a pet dog's nose is dry, it could be that the air around you is dry, the dog is dehydrated or has a fever.</p><p><br /></p><p>To overcome this, try giving lots of water and inviting the child to be in a room that is quite humid. You can also apply a special dog moisturizer on his nose.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Dog Toothbrush</p><p>Dogs can also experience bad breath if they don't brush their teeth regularly. Variations in food consumed can cause tartar and plaque. It's a good idea to brush your dog's teeth several times a week. However, avoid using human toothpaste, OK?</p><p>4. Dog Hair Brush</p><p>Next, you can brush the dog's fur to remove dirt, dead hair, dirt, and fleas. If routinely done every day, it can keep the dog's coat smooth and shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Trim the Dog's Fur</p><p>If the dog's coat is long, trimming it can help keep the dog fresh. You can do it yourself or ask for expert help.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do it yourself, make sure the dog is comfortable by giving it a treat. Then, clip the hair slowly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rule of thumb when cutting a dog's hair is to start at the neck and work your way down to the tail. For short-haired dogs, you will need curved or straight scissors to trim the coat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trim the dog's coat in the direction of the hanging hair. If done in the opposite direction, the cut will look less tidy. Avoid trimming the coat too short as this can chill and stress the dog.</p><p>6. Cut the Dog's Nails</p><p>Cutting dog nails does require extra patience and precision. You have to make sure the dog feels safe and doesn't struggle. Let the dog sit on the table or in your lap.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cut nails to a certain extent, namely quick. If the dog has white nails, the quick will usually be pink. For dogs with dark nails, the quick is black.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Bathe, Dry, and Groom the Dog's Fur</p><p>The last step of grooming is washing the dog. Dogs don't need to be bathed every day. Dogs even only need a bath once every 1-3 months.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if there are certain medical conditions, you can bathe your dog according to the veterinarian's recommendations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bathe the dog with specially designed shampoo. Dogs have sensitive skin and the pH of their skin is different from that of humans, so human shampoo products should not be used on dogs.</p><p>Next, dry the dog with a clean towel. You can also use a hair dryer with a warm temperature and low noise so that the dog is not scared or startled.</p><p>When is the Right Time for Dog Grooming?</p><p>The frequency of dog grooming depends on the dog's breed, length, coat type, and how long the dog looks dirty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dogs with short hair don't need a quick trip to the salon. On the other hand, grooming dogs with long hair should be more routine to ensure there are no problems with their skin and coat.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can groom your dog to the salon every six weeks or three times a year. However, make sure you keep grooming at home regularly.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885142153208471645.post-21383268856016526202023-02-10T17:26:00.005-08:002023-02-25T19:30:23.231-08:007 Healthy Food Variations for Dogs to Not Get Bored<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="1194" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWY1Ngx1hAzyIcfZyDSimrkezoCYKS5_zNE16Ei098jnIiSOPtFlCC66nv8VsWFQYW_HvbQ1dgVFZQhh-_WQ97U7SZspebIl3lrUpSGAr1Ijecux7O3wUWIWJWjyGVLfzWEmd1JrKX3CFKm7kEYUiH88iQrJYqy7zGCkm5P_6Ikoas3nxVS0sy0razlg/s320/dog%20food.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of dog food, of course there are many types and brands on the market. According to the Pet Food Manufacturers Association, <i><a href="https://pet-world9.blogspot.com/2023/02/types-of-cute-dogs.html" target="_blank">dog food</a></i> available on the market includes wet, dry and raw food. In addition, there are complete and complementary food products, which have been specially formulated for dog health.</p><p>Yes, dog health can be maintained by giving it healthy food. Actually, it's not just packaged food, there are several other healthy foods that can be given to dogs, as a variation so they don't get bored.</p><p>Healthy Food Variations for Dogs</p><p>Launching the Dogs Naturally page, here are a variety of healthy food for dogs that can be a daily menu choice:</p><p>1. Bone Broth</p><p>Bone broth is one food that can provide health benefits for dogs. You can buy or make it by boiling beef or chicken bones for a few hours over low heat, until the gravy is slightly cloudy and thick.</p><p>The benefits of giving bone broth to dogs are to maintain digestive health, help detoxify the liver, reduce inflammation, strengthen bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and boost immunity.</p><p>2. Offal</p><p>Whether in raw or processed form, offal such as liver, brains, tripe and more are important components of a dog's diet. The benefits for dogs are to increase strength and formation of red blood cells, as well as maintain endurance.</p><p>3. Eggs</p><p>Eggs are a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals, which are very easy to add to a dog's daily diet. Even though it's simple, adding eggs to a dog's diet is beneficial for maintaining heart health.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Raw Goat's Milk</p><p>Raw or unpasteurized goat's milk is one of the most nutrient-rich dog foods. The enzymes in raw goat's milk aid in the digestive process.</p><p>This makes goat's milk more tolerable for dogs to digest than cow's milk. This type of milk contains healthy fats, omega-3, protein/amino acids, and minerals. Giving dogs raw goat's milk strengthens the immune system and reduces allergies.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Fish with Omega-3</p><p>As a variation, you can also give your dog fish with omega-3 content such as sardines or other small fish. Fish with omega-3s are beneficial for brain health, kidney function, heart, skin and eyes.</p><p>6. Mushrooms</p><p>Try adding mushrooms to your dog's daily diet. This is because mushrooms contain vitamins and other nutrients such as beta glucans, flavonoids, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and antioxidants.</p><p>One of the benefits for dogs is to increase immunity. However, don't give wild mushrooms anywhere as they can be harmful to dogs.</p><p>7. Fermented Foods</p><p>Fermented foods are an excellent source of good bacteria (probiotics). In addition to helping with intestinal detoxification, fermented foods are also great for supporting immune function. This is because the food fermentation process generally produces vitamins C, K2, and B vitamins, acetylcholine, choline, enzymes that support digestion and metabolic activity, and lactic acid.Some choices of fermented foods that can be given to dogs are kefir, yogurt, fermented vegetables, fermented fish stock, fermented fish sauce, and kombucha.</p>shoppinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103410369812151196noreply@blogger.com0
