A Dog is for Life Not Just for Christmas
JUST like a new baby, bringing a new puppy into your home is very demanding and requires alot of hard work. New pets must become part of the family because they are not disposable. Every year thousand of puppies are thrown out on the streets because people have bought them as gifts on an act of impulse in the cheery festive season. Then sadly the novelty wears away and the reality dawns upon them, that poor innocent little puppy is now unwanted, it wasn't his fault, now he must brave the streets and try to survive alone. Please stop and think long and hard about buying a puppy at christmas.
Christmas can be a very hectic time of year, this isn’t the best time to introduce your new dog to the house. Dogs will rely on you for walks, feeds, baths, training and healthcare. Everyone in the family must want the pet. It's no use if dad wants a dog and mum doesn't. That won't work. Before bringing a pet into your home, you need a heart but you also need your head.
Please Remember:
Dogs don’t come fully trained. They can cause a lot of damage to your possessions through chewing and accidents. How committed are you to training your dog?
Puppies can be extremely hard work for an owner, particularly if there are young children in the house – do you have enough time to spend with your pup?
INSTEAD of giving a pet as a gift this Christmas, why not donate to a national or a local dog rescue charity.
If you really think a puppy is right for you why not wait until the new year. The new year is the busiest time for dog rescue centers as they become overwhelmed with both new puppies and also older dogs who have now been replaced by irresponsible owners and are now unwanted. If you are a true dog lover you will understand that waiting a few more weeks past christmas would truly be the right decision, especially seen as though you will be given an unwanted dog a new loving home.
Merry Christmas from Dogs.Info

Fireworks - How to Keep Your Pets Safe
It is that time of year again that most pets fear, the Firework Season. The early dark nights at winter plus the many events such as Guy Fawkes, Christmas and New Year all equal Fireworks. All Pets, not just dogs, can easily become startled and/or put in danger by fireworks. Here is some simple advice to keep your pets safe.
Keep your pets indoors.
Cats outiside could easily run onto a road if starlted by a firework. Cats have also been known to die because they have become locked in accidently locked in sheds / garages after running in fear of fireworks. Try to move rabbit / guinea pig hutches inside. If you cant move hutches or kennels inside then please be very observant of stray fireworks that could set fire to them.
Walk your dog earlier in the day before it gets dark. Dogs can easily bolt when startled by a firework and could run on to a road and be knocked down. May be best to keep on a leash to avoid this, and get your dog microchipped just in case.
Dont leave your pets alone on the night of a big firework event, have at least one family member stay with them. Keep the curtains closed, the TV on and carry on exactly as normal
Dont Reinforce the Fear. Comforting hugs and softly spoken words do nothing except make your dog think there really is something to be scared of. Set up an area in the house where they know they will be safe, give them their favourite toys to play with.
Medication If you pet suffers very badly with fireworks visit your vets, some mild sedatives and alternative therapies are available. Never give your pet human sedatives.

How to Take a Photo of Your Dog
- Try to avoid using flash when taking the photo if at all possible. This can cause redeye and dark shadows resulting in a poor quality photograph. The best shots are taken outdoors, and in natural light. If it is sunny then it is better to find a shady spot and keep the light source behind you.
- Have your pet sitting, then get down to their eye level before attempting to take a photo. Have some help from another person to get your dogs attention with a toy or treat, try toget your dog to look slightly upwards and to one side of you.
- Be patient and make it enjoyable for you and your dog.

Dog
Breeding requires excellent breed knowledge and outstanding responsibility
by reputable breeders. |
Unfortunetly dog breeding is often exploited
as a profit making business with the sad consequence of cruelly
treat bitches and puppies who are kept in inhumane conditions. The
bitches are expected to breed many litters, once they are no good
for breeding they are cruelly destroyed. The litters that are produced
are very very unhealthy and will not have a long life at all. These
unhealthy puppies are often taken away from there mother far before
they should be which means they are denied the vital socialisation
they require from their mother and litter mates. Remember when buying
a puppy, puppies should still be with their mother and litter mates
until at least 8 weeks old. More Dog Info.....
