Pugs: Diet Do's and Don'ts

Who can resist the loving and comical nature of the pug, a breed of dog who's popularity has exploded since the release of movies such as "Men in Black," "The Adventures of Milo and Otis," and the animated Disney movie," Pocahontas". Pugs are an excellent breed choice for children, are inherently good-natured, and are particularly adaptable to apartment living due to their minimal exercise requirement. But before one decides to welcome a pug into the family, certain considerations must be taken, including concerns regarding diet.

There are a wide range of commercial choices available today for your dog, but choosing a dog food produced by a large, reputable company, or one recommended by your veterinarian, is probably your safest, easiest bet for insuring a healthy diet for your pug. These foods are generally produced and bagged in dry form or are available in the moist, canned variety and contain a healthy balance of essential grains and protein. There are many varieties available from puppy, weight control, to senior foods which are geared toward the particular canine consumer's needs. Depending on the variety necessary for your pet, nutrient and caloric content of these foods are altered to suit the dog's lifestyle or age.

Be mindful that pugs have a genetic disposition to becoming overweight if their diet is not monitored closely. These little pooches have a tendency to eat endlessly, as long as food accessible. Therefore, it is recommended that the quantity of food provided is closely monitored. It is suggested that meals are scheduled twice daily in order to develop a regular feeding routine and to help satisfy their insatiable desire to eat. Splitting meals into two separate feedings also aids digestion, and many believe, minimizes the dreaded passage of gas from your furry friend.

Still, some pug owners complain that their pet eats too fast, often resulting in upset stomachs and vomiting. Brent, the owner of two pugs complains, "Bug eats so fast that he is not chewing his food. He frequently throws up right after he eats."

There are a few tricks you may like to try with your pug to keep him from gobbling food too quickly: Before filling the dog bowl with food, place a large rubber ball or unopened soup can at the bottom of the dish. Then fill the bowl with the appropriate amount of food. Providing food in this manner may help to minimize your pug's ability to inhale food too quickly, since he is forced to take time to eat around the object placed in his bowl.

Another method that some pug owners have proclaimed "tried and true" in resolving a pug's gulping habit is to switch from a regular dog food bowl to a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with sides. Sprinkling the food across the cookie sheet will force the dog to graze a bit over his meal and may encourage more thorough chewing before he seeks out his next morsel or two.

"Recreational chewing time" must also be considered in regard to your pug's consumption and digestion. The incredibly strong jaws and chewing urges of the pug make it easy for the pug to tear even the strongest of chew bones or toys to pieces. Be careful when selecting leisure time chew-bones for the pug. Rawhide is a poor choice. More often than not, large pieces of rawhide are broken off and swallowed whole by the dog and are often vomited later or worse, may create an obstruction in the pug's digestive system. There are countless stories about owners who have helplessly watched as their beloved pet has choked on a chunk of rawhide that has become lodged in the animal's throat. Not only can they be dangerous, but a rawhide chew really contains no real nutritional value and only adds to the dog's caloric intake.

Many dogs enjoy gnawing on nylon bones which are often flavored with chicken or beef in order to make them more appealing to the pet. But be watchful of large hunks that can be chewed off and swallowed by the dog as well, which may also result in an expensive veterinary bill - or worse.

Pig ears are the preferred choice for many dog owners. They last quite a long time, they are suitably sized, the flavor is appealing, and they are very difficult for a pet with even the strongest of jaws to ingest. They are hard, tough, and are a safe choice for hours of chewing satisfaction for the pug.

Some pug owners have noted yeast build-up in their pet's ears or around the nasal area. The advice of many is to feed your pug a few tablespoons of yogurt daily which may help to combat this common ailment. Julie, the owner of two pugs said, "I give my dogs a few tablespoons of yogurt every day. Their ears used to constantly have yeast build-up, but since I've started the routine with yogurt, their ears have been clear." Many have realized the benefit of yogurt's combative acidophilus ingredient against these yeast infections and note a drastic improvement in the appearance and health of their dog's nose and ears.

Be observant of your pug's diet and note any changes in digestive patterns. Staying keyed in on your pug habits and needs are the key to a long and healthy relationship between you and your canine companion.

For the Best Pets Look to the Unusual

If you’re searching for really terrific pets, you may want to take a little walk into the unusual. While dogs and cats – arguably the two most common and beloved pets – are good choices, there are some other animals out there that may very well be better suited to your lifestyle.

To find the perfect pet, start by examining your reasons for wanting to take this step. That reason is very important. For example, if you’re looking for companionship, a turtle probably isn’t the best answer. But if you have a child and you’re looking for a pet to help teach responsibility, a turtle may be just what you need. Here are some other pets that may not have immediately come to mind.

Gerbils, hamsters and mice – Yes, they’re rodents and that may be an immediate turn-off for some people, but these little guys can be really good pets for several reasons. They don’t take up much room, they don’t eat much and they’re fairly easy to care for. On the downside, they also tend to have shorter life spans than some other animals, meaning the kids (and adults) who become attached to them face the heartbreak of losing their pet sooner. Remember that they still take care, even though they’re very small. Cages can become very smelly if not cleaned regularly.

Hermit crabs – These are a recent hit with many people and you’ll find that hermit crabs are readily available in malls and pet stores. They’re not cuddly and they’re very shy, but there are some positive points. If handled carefully and often, they can become quite friendly. Children can learn a lot from watching them drink, burrow and change shells. Care is minimal and the biggest routine chore is probably keeping the sponges wet (hermit crabs drink from a sponge).

Prairie dogs – Quite a few people have discovered that these furry little guys make great indoor pets. They’re inquisitive and most have very unique personalities. If raised in captivity, a prairie dog will typically be happy to remain inside with no attempts at escape. They can be litter box trained and many families report that their prairie dogs have free roam of the house. The downsides include the fact that these animals like to chew. If trained well, they’ll chew only in designated places, but furniture and clothing can become casualties of their need to gnaw. Remember, they’re wild animals and you should be careful of your source to be sure you have a healthy animal.

There are plenty more options that you may not have considered. If you’re looking for great pets, don’t immediately assume that a cat or dog are your only choices.

What Is The Easiest Dog To Own?

Your dog will become a great companion to you, but, your dog can also be a lot of work for you. There is no such a dog that requires no work from you, but choosing the right dog for you can keep your problems to a minimum.

So how do you know what is the easiest dog for you?

There really is no such thing as a very best dog breed everyone looks for something different in their pets depending on their own situation at the time. One example is, when my husband and I worked, we had two miniature long haired dachshunds, when my husband became disability retired and stayed home all day, we got a black lab and a golden retriever. The time was right!

Some breeds are better if you require a low maintenance dog. For example: Hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, generally love to be a couch-potato, despite their talent for speed. They are also very mellow dogs, and great for adoption. Standard poodles have a great personality, are very smart and have a calm demeanor. Bonus! They do not shed. Hence, the fairly new breed of Doodle dogs, like a Labradoodle, or a Goldendoodle. Both these are crosses between the poodle and another breed, making them low maintenance in the grooming department.

Also low maintenance: pug, Shih Tzu, English cocker spaniel, but, be careful, some of these dogs need training to keep them from barking your neighbors into oblivion.

Keep away from breeds such as hunting breeds, herding breeds, or any working dog breed. Unless you are an active person, these dogs are not for you. They need lots of exercise and even mental stimulation. They are after all working dogs.

One way to have fewer problems is to adopt an adult dog that already comes housetrained, and even trained for many other activities. A dog that is two or three years old probably is already housebroken and no longer teething. That is what we did, we adopted a 3 year old black lab.

An older dog is also calmer than a puppy. And, Female dogs are easier to handle most of the time.

Where To Find A Dog

Go to your local Rescue Shelter, or Animal Shelter. These institutions work hard to match you with the right dog, and, they also look after their dog to make sure it goes to a good home. Adopting a dog is not for saving money; it's about saving a dog.

Another tip: Talk to breeders and to dog owners once you have decided what breed you want. People are more than happy to tell you about their pets.

Enjoy your journey with your new canine friend. A dog is a companion for life, especially if you put thought into the process before you acquire your dog.

Adopting a Dog from A Shelter

This may surely surprise you but Benji, the dog that appeared in the movie "Benji: Off The Leash" was found on the streets of Gulfport and was then adopted from the Humane Society of South Miss.

Of course, every abandoned dog will not be fortunate enough to hit the screen as Benji did, but that won't stop the pet rescuers from being happy for rescuing these poor animals. Besides, most of the animals that live in shelters can surely become amazing pets.

It would be foolish to think of a pet as a bad choice just because it ended up in the shelter. For many reasons, the pet owners may find it difficult to keep even the most beautiful dog. They may find it difficult to afford, may not have the time to look after it or may simply find it difficult to live with a dog. Of course, none of these are excuse enough to abandon them, but that's another story.

Now let us examine the reasons why the rescue dogs may be your first choice when looking for a pet.

Firstly, the animal shelters all across America are full of animals, always looking for someone to take them home. If you adopt a shelter animal, you will give some other street animal a space to live.

Secondly, you will save a lot of money buying a pet from the shelter. Some shelters list the prices of their dog adoptions between $45 up to $175 depending upon the dog's size, breed and age. The cost is inclusive of neutering, vaccinations and all other basic veterinarian care. On the other hand, if you set out to buy a dog from a pet shop, the prices would begin at $300 and can go as high as $1600 for some special breed dogs. Obviously, the huge difference in cost would also mean huge savings for you.

Most importantly, when you adopt a rescue dog, you are gifting a new life to that poor animal. Unfortunately, not all the shelters can afford to give ample and timely food to their animals; neither do they have enough space to accommodate all the animals found on the street. Therefore, sometimes they even have to put the animal to sleep when no one adopts it, just to make space for another one.

Now that we know what the benefits of adopting the rescued animals are, let's also take a look at the negative side of it. Yes, there are certain drawbacks too!

Firstly, there may be certain ailments that the dog may be suffering that may go unnoticed at first, but will show up in time. For example, Hip Dysplasia, which affects the dog's spine and causes severe pain if touched there. The pain can cause an animal to bite, which is especially a concern for those who have small kids in the house. The animal may also be suffering from other skin ailments.

What's worse is when the dogs have behavioral problems. It will take time and patience to understand why they behave in a particular way. There may be reasons unknown to you and the problems may be caused due to something that had happened before you brought the dog home. Say for example, if your dog did not get enough food in the shelter, it is likely to become extremely possessive about its food and other belongings. Such a dog will scare away someone who tries to get too close to its food and belongings.

Further, there may be difficulties in house training the dog if it was forbidden from entering into the house of their earlier owners. This is especially true with adult dogs. This could be a big concern for those who do not have anyone to let the dog out when he needs to.

Yes there are certain disadvantages. However, most of these problems have a solution and if you are a true pet lover, overcoming these obstacles can be rewarding in itself.

If saving one of these poor animals is something you would like to do, you can start off by contacting your local Humane Society or Animal Rescue League. For those who use the internet, Google can show you several options. Go ahead; You are doing a kind deed by giving a new family to a poor animal!

Even Lassie Had Her Moments

Lassie! Now THERE’S a dog! If you said SIT, Lassie would sit. If you said FETCH, Lassie would fetch. If you said PLAY DEAD, Lassie would just about quit breathing. Why, you could just imagine Lassie bringing you dinner each night, couldn’t you? Now THAT was a well-trained dog!!! Guess what? Lassie wasn’t born that way; she had to go through puppy training!

Puppy training is very important if you want a well-behaved dog! You have to start training them when they are young and you have to be consistent. Baby dogs are just like baby people; they don’t know how to do anything when they are just starting out. You have to teach them and you have to be patient.

There are lots of new things your puppy needs to learn but three of the most important things are it’s name, the word “no” and the word “good dog.” Those words are the words you are going to be using constantly during your puppy training period.

The puppy name is how the new puppy learns to identify itself. She has to know when you are talking to her. She has to know when you are calling her. She has to know her name!

You will be using the word “no” during your puppy training to let the dog know that she is doing something wrong. If you continually use different words to let the dog know she is doing something she is not supposed to do, you will have one very confused puppy. You have to be consistent in what you say so the new puppy will understand what it is you are trying to say.

The same thing goes for the words “good dog.” You will want to say that to your new puppy every time she does something right. Your new puppy wants to please you and you need to let her know when she does.

Don’t just scold your dog all the time and forget to tell her when she has done something right. The two things go hand-in-hand with your puppy training and you MUST be consistent. Tell her “no” when she has done something wrong and tell her “good dog” when she has done something right.

All The Secrets About Ferret DNA

While there is not as much documentation on ferret genetics and their DNA as other animals such as the mink, there is a demand for such information as the notion of 'designer ferrets' becomes more popular.

People are asking breeders for particular colors and sizes of ferrets, and the easiest way to do this is to breed specific ones together, allowing the ferret's DNA to do the work for them. The more desirable traits can be preserved, while the less desirable traits are either hidden or eradicated entirely from the ferret's DNA. Breeding also helps scientists determine what traits are dominant and what ones are recessive.

Ferret DNA Information

Unlike in the past, we no longer have to rely on trial and error to determine this, we can use scientific methods like DNA tests that will map out exactly what markers are there, and then with scientific study, we can determine which traits go with those markers. Breeders can then mate specific ferrets with each other, having a much better idea of what will be produced as they are more knowledgeable about their ferret's DNA.

Further Ferret DNA Information

Creating pedigrees for ferrets that are destined to be household pets is useful as buyers then know exactly what their purchasing. If owners want to show their ferrets in ferret shows, knowing their DNA can help. Knowing the ferret's family history can decrease the odds of illness, and increase the odds of finding the ferret with the exact temperament and coloring pet owners are looking for.

But, like all animal breeding, too much inbreeding can lead to illness and other physiological problems. This is why it is important to document the ferrets that are bred, that way an appropriate mix of ferrets DNA is used, and not overused.

Ferrets dna can be obtained in mass and more easily if you do breed them at once from one particular place. This way you can monitor the dna, any known changes in their dna, and to be honest, it keeps things more organized. If you want to find information on Ferrets dna, then you could so a search online or look round your local farms for further specific information relating to this. If you use some of the most popular search engines, you may find information on their dna. Try some of the major search engines such as yahoo and google.
