Keep the Water Flowing

Do you think that leaving your puppy's water dish dry sometimes may help curb housetraining accidents? Think again.

Housetraining may actually be even more difficult if your puppy doesn't get an adequate amount of water. A dehydrated pup has a higher risk of developing urinary problems -- such as infections or kidney stones -- that would make bladder control even harder. Limit drinking water only at bedtime.

Dog Beds

If you are like me, my little dog (Coton de Tulear) has nearly one bed for each room in the house !
All different beds, in sizes and colors of course, no need to say that she is totally spoiled !

What about your dog ? How many beds does your dog have ? What kind of bed ; a nest bed, a pillow bed or a wooden bed ?

Please let me know ; I would love to hear your comments about the dog bed(s) in your home !

And if you are looking for a bed for your pooch, please don't forget ; we have some great choices on our website !

Dogs Eating Grass

I found a very interesting article on Pedigree.com about dogs eating grass. I am sure that many of you have wondered why dogs are eating grass.

They do not eat grass because they have worms or because they don't feel well or because they have a nutritional deficiency or because they're going through a particular developmental stage. They eat grass because they like the taste !
Apparently you can even find containers available at pet stores that allow you to grow your own grain-based grass for both dogs and cats.
Interesting don't you think ?
