http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. No Joe for Fido - and Other Dangers for Dogs. The moment a puppy, older or rescued dog comes into our homes and into our hearts, we must take full responsibility for his or her health and well being, socialization skills by giving it an abundance of love, understanding and guidance. Your dog's life is dependant upon you and- at the risk of sounding heavy - sometimes it's matter of life or death. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are highest on the list for cases of poisonin...

Thursday, April 5, 2012. Being Prepared for Pet Emergencies. Better safe than sorry. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. My sister always told me to have a plan B and always be prepared.

Murphy Murphdog Magazine: Puppy-Proof Your Home
http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/04/puppy-proof-your-home.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Get your dog used to the fact that you will clean his paws when he comes in the house. I really like the new Dremel devices that file your dog's nails. It helps to keep the wood floors from being scratched up, the carpeting from pulling and the couch from ripping. If a puppy is destructive when you leave him alone, then confine him until you return. Do I think it's cruel to confine a dog? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). No Joe for Fido - and Other Dangers for Dogs. Not Just G...

If you don't know Frank,I hope you know someone like him.He's that nice guy who can answer all your questions and concerns and he's willing to share what he has learned over the years of being in the pet business INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SELL YOU ANYTHING! I know I would. Did you notice everything in the analysis is measured in "Crude" protein, fats, etc? Look at the order of ingredients. Is corn the third on the list? Forcing your dog's intesti...

Murphy Murphdog Magazine: TEACHING KIDS PETIQUETTE
http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/04/teaching-kids-petiquette.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Who can upstage the combination of kids and dogs? They just go together. Remember Timmy and Lassie, Spanky and Petey, the list goes on. But unfortunately, there aren't too many Lassies, and fortunately, there was only one Spanky. 1 A child should know to ALWAYS ask permission to pet a dog no matter how friendly the dog looks or acts. 2 A dog must be approached slowly. The child should extend their hand in front of the dog's face so the dog can smell the child. 3 Never pet the dog...

Murphy Murphdog Magazine: Doggie Daycare: A Solution for Working Parents
http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/04/doggie-daycare-solution-for-working.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Doggie Daycare: A Solution for Working Parents. The answer is NO, it's not okay, so if you don't use a Doggie Daycare, at least find a responsible dog walker. Ask for a tour of the facility. Find out if they hired some teenagers for playtime and walking or if the staff is experienced in handling dogs. How long are they in business and are they licensed? How safe is the facility? Are medical records required and must the dogs be up to date on vaccines? Well, your dog will think so...

Murphy Murphdog Magazine: Dog with Arthritis? Try Hydrotherapy (i.e.- your pool)
http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/04/dog-with-arthritis-try-hydrotherapy-ie.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Try Hydrotherapy (i.e.- your pool). Arthritis is a common ailment of older dogs, affecting one in five dogs over the age of seven. The condition affects the joints and causes pain and stiffness in the neck, hips, shoulders, elbows and back. Exercising is also important. If possible, take your dog for several 10 to 15 minute walks each day rather than one long walk. Also, if possible, take your dog swimming - a great exercise without joint stress.

Murphy Murphdog Magazine: Pet Food Labels: Confusing at Best, Deceptive at Worst
http://murphymurphdogmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/04/pet-food-labels-confusing-at-best.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Pet Food Labels: Confusing at Best, Deceptive at Worst. I've been researching every source I can think of on the Internet to get an exact, spelled out definition of what exactly "Made in USA" means? How much of the product is actually made here, and does it contain foreign materials? Then I decided to check out the labels on some of my clothing. Why? What does this have to do with pet food? Does that apply to food? Not artificially colored or treated. How about Holistic? It means...
