If you like to give your dog sugarfree treats, be aware that products containing Xylitol can cause severe problems.

Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and  tastes like sugar. Puppy dogs that ingest xylitol may develop a sudden drop in blood sugar causing depression, loss of coordination, and even seizures. Symptoms can develop very quickly.  Some reports show results in as little as 30 minutes after ingestion.

There is a common misconception that dogs and can only get tapeworms from eating bad food, but there are many other ways:

• Swallowing fleas, which commonly carry the parasite
• Eating infected rodents such as mice, squirrels and birds
• Being around other infected dogs and pets

You, yourself can also be infected with tapeworms by a dog that has them also.

Not every dog owner wishes to breed his or her dog. If you are one of these people, you may consider spaying or neutering. There are quite a few overlooked benefits to this such as:

• Keep our dog from roaming and getting injured or lost.
• Avoid unwanted litters
• Eliminate sexual frustration, mounting or humping
• Eliminate urinary marking of ‘territory’

We see it all the time. Cruising down the road in the back of a pickup truck, a big doggie standing up on the side railing of the truck, with not a worry in the world.

This can be one of the most dangerous situations you can put your puppy dog in. One quick slam on the breaks, or fast swerve to miss an object on the road, could end in disaster.
