It's not like you take a trip to Africa, rope yourself a serval, and drag it home hissing and spitting!In his best-selling …

1395. Shih Tzu - Should You Free Feed Or Feed By Meals?
      It is medical fact that a dog's digestive system is designed more to gorge. For this one reason alone, I suggest feeding your shih tzu by 'meals.' If you leave food out all the time, and I have fed my shih tzu with free feeding, so I know about what they will do.....they will eat, and eat, eat....until they will become overweight and have soft, runny stools. Most of us just hate 'runny stools.' One way to avoid them is to not 'free feed.' You need to divide your shih tzu's food into meals. So ho…

      Arthritis in canines is just as common as it is in humans. The type of arthritis associated with dogs is osteoarthritis which is caused by the degradation of the cartilage within a joint.Cartilage is what keeps the bones in a joint from rubbing together.

1400. Defend Your Dog and Stop that Hurting Paw! By Blake Kritzberg
      Of course, we humans use shoes to protect our feet. We insist on it! But dogs usually don't have that luxury, and routinely walk over ice, rock, grass, cement and soil on their bare paws. Their paws' thick pads give them protection we don't have, and that's why they're less susceptible to cuts and grazes. But this doesn't mean a dog's paws are indestructible. In fact, the areas between the pads are very sensitive and can suffer from cuts, burns, and other ailments.One of the clues to a paw pro…
