Health

Although nobody likes to go to the dentist, oral health is important. Just like humans, dogs need to clean their teeth too. We brush our teeth at least twice a day, but sometimes people forget that they should also brush their dog’s teeth. If too much plaque and tartar build up, your dog may have to go to the vet for a teeth cleaning.

We love to play fetch and explore the outdoors with our dogs. But for many pets, physical activity can be uncomfortable or even painful over time. This is often because of arthritis, a degenerative joint disease.

According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, osteoarthritis affects a quarter of all canines. This degenerative joint disease is characterized by your dog limping, whining, and hesitating to jump. Humans may not realize their dog is suffering until these symptoms arise—but osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint problems begin gradually. So, what if you could stop your dog’s joint pain before it occurs?

From the very first day we take them home, our pets are ours to care for and have fun with. But sometimes, the wear and tear of everyday life make our pups feel too achy to play. Arthritis and joint pain are serious concerns for any pet owner. If you want to prevent or reduce joint pain for your dog, you’ve probably heard of glucosamine. But what is glucosamine, and how can it help your dog?

Fish oils have become a common supplement in human diets as a resource for healthy fatty acids. But is fish oil good for dogs, and can they benefit from them the same way we do?

At some point in time as a pet owner, your dog will experience vomiting, and you will be on clean-up duty. Dogs are notorious for eating things they are not supposed to and  their poor judgment can get them in a lot of trouble, causing them to become sick.
