The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

Occasionally puppies get something called Puppy Strangles (a popular name for Juvenile Cellulitis), a condition in which swelling in the neck and head can cause severe difficulties in eating and swallowing. It's well for new puppy owners to be aware of the condition in case it happens. Here's a good, easy-to-read article from Doctors Foster & Smith's PetEducation.com covering symptoms and treatment.

The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION

There are something like 60 million dogs in North America, and I think about 50 million opinions about what to feed them. Here's one that will open your eyes, from someone entitled to such an opinion...someone with a degree in animal science from University of Guelph in Ontario. Listen up to some good sense about what we should and shouldn't be feeding our best friends. "What is in Your Pet's Food Dish?" by Trina Nowak, B.Sc.Agr., DVetHom.

The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES

If you've ever done any dog breeding, you'll get a kick out of this one. Another title might be something like "101 reasons not to breed your dog"! Each step of the way as you go through this site you must make a decision, and your decision leads to the appropriate next page. Lots of fun. And definitely educational. "Virtual Breeding" by Jane M. Johnson.

The Straight Poop BEST of the BEST

From Issue 33, August 25, 2000
The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Katie learned a lesson about cats the hard way, ending up with a bad scratch on her nose. Forget it? To the medicine cabinet? To the vet? Oh, the agony of such decisions. Once again we turn to our good friends at Kansas State University, this time for a brief but very useful article entitled "When to Take a Pet to the Vet".
