Have You Ever Vacuumed Your Dog?
Have You Ever Vacuumed Your Dog?
Most dogs are frightened of the vacuum cleaner and will run at the sight of it being taken out of the closet or will tremble in fear at the loud noise that it creates. But there are some pooches out there who actually enjoy the cleaning utensil and will even lie down and allow their owners to vacuum their bodies, removing excess fur and providing a bit of much-needed grooming in one of the most unusual ways. Watch the dogs throughout this video rest their eyes, completely relax their bodies, and lie back as their owners use their vacuums all over their bodies. One thing they seem to have in common is their love of having their bellies vacuumed. From big dogs to little dogs, shorthaired breeds to longhaired ones, these fun-loving pets enjoy the massage that is provided by a good old-fashioned vacuum. If your dog isn't afraid of the vacuum cleaner, you may want to give this a try. You never know if he or she will show you the belly in hopes of being cleaned and groomed at the same time.

How to know if Your Dog is Sick?
How to know if Your Dog is Sick?
Dogs cannot verbally communicate with us which is why it is usually difficult to know if there is some problem with their health condition. Non verbal communication is the only means by which dogs can possibly let us know if they are not feeling well or if they are sick. Therefore we have to rely on their signs, attitude and mood in order to find if something is wrong.
There are symptoms for each type of animal disease that comes up whenever your dog is sick. In case of severe illness you should immediately contact your vet and get meds for your dog. You should stay alert to the changes in your dog’s behavior, mood or attitude. Here are some usual signs which may indicate that you might need to consult your vet.
Sickness can be prevented with appropriate dog care, but even if your dog has developed some kind of illness, do not panic. With proper medication and health care he/she can be brought back to normal health once again.
Here are some of the signs that may tell you if your dog is sick.
Dizziness, excessive laziness, or imbalance Labored breathing Instability to walk properly or circling Extremely outsized abdomen Signs of severe pain in some part of the body (such as crying or barking very loudly) Spontaneous collapsing or loss of consciousness White, pale or blue color in gums Seizures Note that the normal body temperature of dogs is between 100.5 and 102.5 degree Fahrenheit. Body temperatures above 104 and below 99 degrees indicate that your dog is sick. Always keep a thermometer specifically made for your dog. If you have developed a good bond with your dog, noticing changes in his/her attitude and mood swings might communicate greatly towards his/her well being. Be alert to the signs you are being given. If any of the following signs last two or more days, you must consult your veterinarian. Vomiting Lethargy and extreme tiredness Diarrhea Excessive salivation Constipation Frequent urination Reduced or low appetite Increased thirst Wheezing and increased panting Nasal congestion Scratching continuously Unusual reactions when specific body parts are touched The above mentioned signs can be symptoms for various types of illness and diseases depending on their combination and other variables. Your veterinarian would be able to tell you exactly what’s wrong with your patient. In case of serious illness your vet would also suggest you an appointment with emergency clinic or a surgeon. Keeping good care of your dog and providing him good nutrition and nurturing him well can prevent most of the animal diseases. Some of the diseases and illness are contagious and spread from other animals or humans. These are more difficult to prevent. Be aware of the recent viral diseases spreading among the dogs in your area. If you dog shows signs of illness, consult your vet and ask if the dog needs medication.

10 of the Most dangerous Foods for Dogs [PLEASE SHARE]
Years ago, shortly after we adopted our dog Splash, my wife’s grandmother randomly sent us an article about foods that are poisonous to dogs. My wife read the article, not thinking much about it.
Not long later, our dog got into a bowl of grapes we mistakenly left within her reach. My wife immediately remembered that grapes were one of the most poisonous foods for dogs. We rushed Splash to an emergency vet clinic. After some induced vomiting and IV treatments, Splash was came through was back to her old self in no time.

online degree
When we asked you which skills you really wanted to learn, language was at, or close to the top of many peoples' lists. Fortunately for you, this clever technique offers a way to all but master a new language in a short period of time by teaching yourself. You'll still have to work hard and put in the minutes every day, but you can come out speaking fluently in about half of a year. Pretty cool.P

doggy health insurance
Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen.
As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets' health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

doggy anyone?
Doggy style, also called doggie style or the rear-entry position, is a sex position in which a person bends over, crouches on all fours (usually on hands and knees), or lies on their stomach, for sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration. Non-penetrative sex in this position may also be regarded as doggy style sex. When between sex partners, the person in the doggy style position is passive or submissive,[1] while the other partner is active or dominant. The passive partner is open to a variety of sexual activities, with the active partner being able to penetrate the vagina, or anus during anal sex, as well as having the option of performing oral sex (cunnilingus, fellatio or anilingus).
