You let them sleep in your bed when you shouldn’t. You stay up all night with them during thunderstorms. You constantly clean up after the little messes they leave around the house. And you’re always forgiving them when they get into trouble. You know you’d do anything for your pet, (don’t even pretend you were thinking about your children!) so why should they be left out of the kitchen? Take your pet’s diet into your own hands and bake them up a batch of their favorite treats.

Nutrition

Like people, pets have specific dietary needs. Depending on whether they’re cuddly new puppies or sweetly serene older cats, satisfying these needs are important. Just like in your own diet, pets need proper amounts of fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, energy, protein and water. Here’s a quick – but far from complete – reference guide for feeding your pet.

Fats – Both cats and dogs need omega 6 fatty acids in their diets. Cats require two (linoleic and arachidonic) whereas dogs only require one (linoleic). Omega 3 fatty acids are not considered necessary in the diets of cats and dogs.

Carbohydrates – Though these sugars and fibers are not essential in terms of nutrition, they are extremely important for your pet’s energy level.

Vitamins – There are two types of vitamins that your pet (and your family) should consume on a regular basis: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) are required in small quantities daily because the body stores them in the liver and other body fat. Fat-soluble vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12) should be consumed daily as the body does not store them as well.

Minerals – Often appearing on canned food labels as “ash,” these inorganic materials are important for your pet’s daily requirements. Macrominerals (calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, magnesium and potassium) are all required in relatively large amounts (grams per day) for your pet. Microminerals (iron, copper, zinc, magnesium and selenium) are required in relatively small quantities (micrograms or less per day).

Energy – It can be difficult to determine how much food to feed your pet, especially if he’s growing quickly. Animals need calories for energy just like humans do, so this is an key part of their diets. PetDiets.com offers a food calculator that helps you figure out exactly what to feed your pet.

Protein – Rather than requiring protein in their diets, pets need a certain amount of amino acids each day (cat need 13 amino acids and dogs need 12 amino acids). It doesn’t matter what the source of this protein is (chicken, beef, soybean, lamb, etc.), it just needs to appear in their diet. This is a slightly controversial topic as some veterinarians feel pets must consume meat while others advocate a vegetarian diet. Speak to your veterinarian to get his or her opinion.

Water – You should always have fresh water available for your pet. They don’t know how to ask (though they can certainly make it clear sometimes), so don’t make them beg. Water makes up between 40 and 80 percent of your pet’s body mass, which makes it crucial that they have constant access to it.

Remember, these are just guidelines. If you have questions about your pet’s diet, please speak to your veterinarian. You can also consult PetDiets.com, which is an informative website run by veterinarians.

Is Chocolate Really Toxic for Dogs?

Yes! The rumors are true – large amounts of chocolate can be lethal for dogs. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is a stimulant found in the cocoa bean that affects the central nervous system and the heart. Different types of chocolate have different affects, and it also depends on how large your dog is. If he accidentally eats an M&M, you don’t have to rush to the vet, but if he consumes an entire chocolate cake, there may be cause for concern. Just beware of what your dog eats and keep in mind this potentially dangerous situation.

Now he’s responding to the ‘click’, you are ready to teach some basic commands.

Clicker Training is a completely hands off approach – we are going to allow the dog to use his brain and work out what we are asking him to do. And we all know that the best way of remembering how to do something is to teach ourselves; Clicker Training is so easy because the dog is almost teaching himself!

Sit command

This is an easy command to train and should take no time at all with the clicker.

With your dog standing in front of you, get his attention by saying his name and letting him know that you’ve got a treat in your hand (and be ready with the clicker in the other hand!).

Remember that we will not use the command ‘sit’ at this stage.

Slowly lift the treat over his head so that he looks up to follow the treat. Keep the treat moving slowly back over his head, and as his head continues up to follow the treat, his bottom should automatically move towards the floor.

At this stage, he doesn’t have to sit – if his bottom moves towards the floor at all, click and treat.

Continue in this manor, but become more selective with the click and treat; only click and treat when his bottom is very close to the floor, or is actually on the floor. And once he is sitting with reasonable regularity, only click and treat when he is actually sitting.

He will quickly work out in his own mind that by sitting, he earns a click and treat.

This should be very quick to teach – within just 1 or 2 sessions, he should have the idea.

When he appears to know what we want of him, this is where we introduce the verbal command. As the treat is moving over his head, say, “Fido*, Sit”. Practice this with short, frequent sessions, only clicking and treating when he sits on your verbal command.

*NOTE: Before giving a command, we should say the dogs name to get his attention.

For a short time, he’ll try sitting even when you haven’t given him the verbal “Fido, sit” command, but he’ll soon get to grips with the fact that he only gets a treat when he does it following the verbal command.

Further short sessions should work on improving the quality of the sit. We are looking for him to respond quickly to our command, and we should only have to say it once.

So, if we are trying to achieve a quicker response, we should be more selective and only click and treat when he sits down immediately after our verbal command.

The key to dog training is the understanding that all dogs are different, so what works for one may not work for another.

It may be necessary to alter the method slightly for each different dog, so although we follow the same basic rules for Clicker Training, if you find something that really works well with your own dog, you should embrace it and consider how you can make it work for other commands.

Once he is sitting well, and appears to do it without really thinking about it, the clicker does not have to be used every time we ask him to sit. For a time, it is a good idea to have a refresher session occasionally, with the sit command and the clicker, to reinforce it, but on the whole, it should be very well instilled in his mind.

Now, you are ready to move on to DOWN command.

How we love our dogs in the United States! We spend billions of dollars not only on necessities like food and medical care, but on luxuries such as clothing, carriages, and knick-knacks that our forefathers could never have imagined buying for an animal. We believe that the pet industry has our animals’ well-being as its number one priority. The sad fact, though, is that most companies that make and sell animal food and supplies really are concerned with one thing: making money from our devotion to our animals. Stark proof of this came earlier in 2007 when scores of American pets died due to a toxin added to pet food to boost the protein. This event has caused us all to be more skeptical of the commercial dog food industry.

What is in dog food anyway, and is it beneficial or detrimental to our beloved dogs? Any astute dog owner is wise to ask this question, and will most likely be shocked by the answer: lots of garbage, waste, fillers, and toxins go into FiFi and Fido’s kibbles.

First of all, many dog foods contain grains, such as wheat, oats, rice, barley, and corn, as the main ingredient, rather than animal protein. Dogs are carnivores and were not designed by Mother Nature to digest and use large amounts of grains. Carnivores’ diets should consist almost exclusively of animal products. In the wild, you see wolves eating animals that are vegetarians. That is, given the choice, they kill and eat deer, elk, buffalo, and other hoofed mammals. They resort to smaller mammals like rodents and rabbits when large game is unavailable. Wolves just don’t raid our gardens or destroy our wheat and corn fields. Nature intended for canines to eat animal protein. Forcing our dogs to eat lots of grains causes all sorts of digestive problems and is thought to be a major reason why dogs develop allergies.

As bad as it is for our dogs to be subsisting on grains long-term, the animal products used to make commercial dog food are often much worse. Read the label on any dog food you purchase. You want to see the word “meat” first in the list of ingredients. That word can only be used to refer to the muscle tissue of cows, pigs, sheep and goats. So far, so good. After all, that’s what humans are eating when we enjoy steak or pork chops, the muscle tissue of the animal. Be aware that when you see the words “meal” or “by-product,” your dog could be eating heads, hooves, organs, or any part of any animal. Now for the worst part: these two terms encompass not only beef, pork, or sheep, but may refer to road-kill, waste products (yup, feces), or even euthanized pets. Any number of poisons, toxins, and bacteria can be present in dog food that has been made using such waste and detritus. Don’t feed your dog any food that lists meal or by-products in the ingredients! Your dog can suffer illness, poisoning, stomach upset, diarrhea, disorientation, or even death from ingesting these ingredients.

Finally, watch out for fillers and preservatives. These ingredients aren’t even good for omnivores, like humans, who have digestive systems designed to handle variety. But for dogs, who are supposed to be eating only meat, these additives are unnecessary and unhealthy. Additives in dog food are good for one thing: to boost the bottom line of the manufacturer. They certainly aren’t intended to enhance your dog’s health.

Ok, so you’ve got a problem. Your dog is using those shiny, pointy teeth of his for something other than chewing his kibble.

What can you do about it?

Well, as a concerned dog owner you need to figure out the cause…what’s triggering this behavior…I mean, if my dog bites, I need to know the reason right?…and so do you…and you need to address that reason as well as the behavior itself…otherwise, you won’t change it.

First, let’s look at some of the usual reasons.

Fido may be nipping because he’s afraid of something. If you acquired an adult dog, maybe he was abused and now fears anything on two legs. Maybe he fears his new surroundings. In any case, you’re going to need to soothe those fears away.

At first use your voice; just talk to him quietly and calmly for a few minutes, several times a day, and from a non-threatening distance. Over time, work your way closer. Then, when he’s ready (not you), use your touch. Pet him gently while you’re talking. You’ll be making deposits into his “trust bank” and, when the balance is high enough, you’ll start to see a change.

Maybe your dog bites when he gets too excited. If you play rough with him for too long, you’ll likely over-stimulate him. Then he might lose his “doggy cool” and take a shot at you. Not good, and especially not good if your kids are the ones doing the stimulating.

So learn to stop sooner than later and give your buddy some time to “chill out” before you handle him again. My father, a pretty good amateur handler, used to tell me this over and over when I played rough with our dogs. Then finally, (tired of me not listening), he just let me learn the hard way. I still have a little scar on my right hand to remind me.

Lastly, maybe your dog is biting because he’s going through a challenging phase. He might be challenging you or your family members in order to earn a higher position in “the pack.” Remember, he thinks everyone in the house has a certain rank and his nature is to challenge that notion every so often. He wants to raise his own rank…he wants to be the “Top Dog.”

If this is the case, you need to put him in his place. He needs to know that everyone else (and I do mean everyone) in your family has a higher rank than him.

Start off by ignoring him…don’t let anyone give him any attention unless he earns it by obeying a simple command or two first. Later on (days not hours) you can give him more attention, but only when he’s not actively seeking it. In this way he’ll start to get the idea of who’s really in charge.

Another powerful technique to teach your dog his place in your “family pack” is to feed him last. Make sure the entire family has finished eating before you feed Fido. This might sound cruel, but it’s not. Out in the wild the “Top Dog” eats first and when he’s finished, the rest of the pack eats according to their rank. Your dog will have enough instinctual memory to understand this. And he’ll get a strong message.

Oh, and don’t let him beg or get excited before you feed him…make him sit or lie quietly for at least a few minutes before he gets his meal.

Now, let’s look at how to address the behavior itself.

You want to give your dog a “correction” and to do that you must catch him in the act. If he bites and you wait (even just several seconds) before making your correction, it will do you absolutely no good. Ten seconds later, your dog’s brain is already on to his next thing and he won’t make the connection between his bite and your correction.

And how do you make the correction you ask?

Well, first, resist the urge to punish him with a smack. He’ll get mixed signals from this and you might make things worse.

A better way is to challenge his biting behavior immediately with a loud, long “Nooooo.” Or my personal favorite; growl at him (and show some teeth when you do it!). Then chase him away, back to his bed or into a corner.

And then ignore him.

This will let him know that play-time just ended. Don’t give him any attention for awhile, and then, make him earn it by obeying a command or two.

This approach can have a very positive effect on a lot of biting behavior. But remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day and the same goes for your relationship with your pooch. You’ll need to use patience because you may need to repeat these techniques for days or even weeks before you see the results you want.

I hope this helps a bit and that “my dog bites” soon becomes “my dog used to bite”…thanks for reading.

So you’re thinking about venturing out on your next trip with Fido? Sounds like a fun idea, but unless you’re well prepared, you may end up wishing you had left him at home.

But don’t get discouraged; traveling with pets is becoming as commonplace as traveling with children. In a sense, they really are our children. We feed them, clean up after them, groom them, praise them, and love them… why shouldn’t we take them along?

Problem is, some folks think just letting the family dog jump in the back seat is all it takes. Never mind securing that loved one in a car seat or harness like we do Junior. Why not? Okay, I’ll ask it again… why not?

In case of a sudden stop or crash, what happens? Oops. Or big OOPS, depending on the size of your pooch. He could cause a serious injury or even death to you or one of your passengers if he becomes a projectile. Why take the risk?

Making the best of pet travel begins with planning. You must first think about what it is you’re doing, where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, what you need… you know, like you do when you take a trip by yourself or with friends or family. Don’t exclude your pet’s needs and essentials just because… what, he’s a pet?

What vitamins or meds will he need? What about food, treats and water? Yes, it’s always a good idea to have a supply of good, cold water with you. Sometimes you just can’t just find water anywhere when you need to stop.

Do you have a car seat for the pet to see out (mainly for smaller pets) or a harness or seat belt? What about emergency contacts like vet phone numbers or a pet hospital near where you are traveling? In case you become separated, did you remember his ID tag? How else will anyone know to whom your four-legged child belongs? A travel ID tag is also becoming more popular that lists the contact information of where you’re planning to stay when you get to your destination or a cell phone number that could easily track you down in the event you get separated from your pet.

One of the most comforting things a pet can have with him is something familiar like a favorite toy or blanket. Remember how Junior is? By the way, did you remember his, too?

How about a portable exercise pen? Aunt Sally says she loves your canine, but does she really want him running loose all over her house? That exercise pen can be assembled in no time, and you sure won’t have to keep your eye on Aunt Sally’s glass figurine collection every second of the day.

And when you and your canine are ready to bed down for the night, are you just going to let him sleep where he finally drops? Is that where Junior will end up for the night? I don’t think so. That’s right, don’t forget that pets like to sleep comfortably, too, and that portable bed sure feels a little more like home.

There’s another thing you should remember. And that’s all you have to do, just remember it. And that is… reassurance. Your pet knows you better than anyone else. Give him the reassurance that you’re there for him and that you’re going to have a good time together. He knows your voice. You’re the one he trusts. So give him confidence in this new traveling environment. Provide him with the things he needs to make his trip as safe and enjoyable as yours, and I’m sure you will have many fun excursions together for years to come. Happy travels!
