What is your Doggie’s Lifestyles? – Part 8
Police Dogs are pets first and valuable members of the community second. They live at home and go to work just like people do.
A police dog is a dog that is trained specifically to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. Police dogs are often referred to by the term “K9″, which is a homophone of “canine”, a word that generally refers to dogs and dog-like animals.
In many jurisdictions the intentional injuring or killing of a police dog is a felony, subjecting the perpetrator to harsher penalties than those in the statutes embodied in local animal cruelty laws, just as an assault on a human police officer is often a more serious offense than the same assault on a non-officer. A growing number of law-enforcement organizations outfit dogs with ballistic vests, and some even go so far as to make the dogs sworn officers, with their own police badges and IDs. Furthermore, a police dog killed in the line of duty is often given a full police funeral.
Public order enforcement dog – The traditional image of a police dog is one used to enforce public order by chasing and holding suspects, or detaining suspects by the threat of being released, either by direct apprehension or a method known as Bark and Hold. German Shepherd Dogs and Belgian Milionis are most commonly used because of their availability however other dog breeds have also contributed, such as Dutch Shepherds, Rottweilers, Boxers, Doberman Pinschers and Giant Schnauzers.
Police dogs are retired if they become injured or pregnant, are raising puppies, or are too old or sick to continue working. The dog’s injuries are treated with the best wound care
treatments available.
Beggars and Choosers
Is your dog spoiled? Most dogs are, some more than others. Why are they spoiled? Their spoiled because we spoil them.
Does Fido sit next to you at the dinner table? Does he have good reason to? Do you disappoint him? Quality dog food is made for dogs? People food is made for people. Fido will be a much healthier dog if he eats what was made for him.
We currently have a dog named Jamie who is fourteen years old, acts like 7 and weighs 48 lbs. which is a normal weight for his breed. He eats quality dog food and his treats are also made for him. He gets sardines on his birthday, and also on the birthday of each of his pack mates. He receives quality health care, and is a happy dog.
Jamie had a litter mate named Ice who was fed pizza, fried potatoes steak scraps, and whatever else momma and daddy were eating that day. When dinner was over he licked all the plates before they were put in the dishwasher. Ice was truly spoiled. He was a happy dog who always got his way, weighed 75 lbs and died at the age of eleven.

Healthcare Products for your pet – Skin and Itch Relief
When my dog had fleas he scratched. When my dog had a Tick he scratched. We got a flea and tick control product, and got rid of the fleas and ticks. Guess what? He still scratched. He scratched because it itched. It itched because he had allergies.
One of the things he was allergic to was the flea and tick control product we had been using. So we changed brands. Dogs can be allergic to many things and we don’t know about them until we have them tested by our vet. Once diagnosed, proper treatment can be administered.
Homeopet has a homeopathic remedy 
which provides temporary relief from constant scratching, itching, gnawing and hair loss caused by allergies. Helps to detoxify the skin from the inside, leaving the coat thick and shiny.
Finally, Fido has stopped his constant scratching, his coat looks great and he’s a lively dog once again.
Healthcare Products for your pet – Joint Stress
It’s Fido’s birthday. He has just turned thirteen. You’d think he’d be out celebrating. After all, how many dogs get to celebrate their thirteenth birthday? But no he’s just laying there not wanting to get up. You see he hurts a bit. No he hurts a lot!
Just like people, as pets age, they slow down. Just like people, they get that achy feeling, back ache, sore muscles, stiff joints, muscle tension and just about every other type of hurt old folks get. And Just like people they prefer to just hang out. Fido lay there on the front porch watching the grass grow and the rabbits hopping by. They knew he wouldn’t chase them like he used to.
What Fido needs is HomeoPet Joint Stress.
This is a homeopathic remedy to provide temporary relief from: Joint stiffness, soreness, muscle tension, overexertion, pain in lower back and joint areas. What Fido needs is to get back on track, so those rabbits will stop mocking him.
Healthcare Products for your pet – Dog Cough
I was on the floor playing with Fido the other day, when he stood up, looked at me funny and sneezed all over me. Then he did it again. 
This was not a normal occurrence I assure you. If you dog is continually sneezing, wheezing, coughing and generally acting like he’s got a cold, he probably does
It is not difficult to find articles about cures for the more common canine cough such as Kennel Cough, But we seldom read about one of the most common occurrences in dogs and that is the common cold. We don’t usually associate the common cold with dogs, but like people they get colds too.
Homeopet has a Cold Remedy for pets who suffer from difficulty swallowing, asthmatic cough, drynes of mouth. Geriatric cough especially when associated with swollen glands. For spasmodic dry cough, deep cough, hoarseness, voice difficulty. Cough associated with heart disease, harsh non-productive cough, and croupy cough.
Healthcare Products for your pet – Digestive Upsets
Oh Boy! What’s Fido eating now? My dog just ate breakfast. I know I’m feeding him enough, probably too much, cause he’s a bit fat. Judging from the way he subsidizes what I give him with what he can find on his own outside, maybe I should cut back on what I give him.
Getting additional snacks outside is part of a dog’s way of life. This makes it difficult for pet owners to keep their pets weight where it should be and be sure their getting the right amount of Nutrition.
Our Pets love to eat. But they don’t always eat the right thing. We don’t help matters when we feed him table scraps. This encourages him to counter surf for even more people food. So when Fido eats his regular meals, gets table scraps at dinner time, goes counter surfing when your not around and goes scavenger hunting outside, he has a wide variety of things to eat, and probably a stomach ache. Could it also be this is the reason Fido’s fat?
To help make Fido feel better we need to keep on hand a product for digestive upsets. This homeopathic remedy provides relief from minor digestive problems including: vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, bad breath and repeated gas. It is also for cats that throw up 20 minutes after eating.
Healthcare Products for your pet – Part 10
When my wife and I get ready to go somewhere, whether it’s just into town or a day trip, Fido can sense that we are about to leave. Usually he goes outside to take care of business just prior to our leaving. He knows we are planning to leave and he doesn’t want us to go. He also knows that we won’t leave him outside while we are gone. Two and Two is still four even to a dog. If he doesn’t come in, we can’t leave. So the merry chase is on. Trickery and bribery are used to get Fido into the house. But Fido’s point is made.
Pets are also very sensitive to human behavior that warns of impending anxiety-inducing events. This can be seen in separation anxiety when an owner gives signals such as picking up car keys or putting on a coat, signaling the pet that it is going to be left alone. Another example is the car trip that takes the dog to a veterinary visit, creating the anxiety that is then shown on future car trips, regardless of destination.
Changing anxiety-inducing behaviors that are so deep seated in the brain requires an understanding of the problem and time and patience in correcting it. A growing area of pet care involves alternative medicine remedies, including homeopathy. The leading producer of such remedies, HomeoPet, is a long established maker of veterinary homeopathic remedies that are targeted to reducing or eliminating a pet’s anxieties. HomeoPet’s remedies
are designed and prepared under veterinary supervision, providing assurance of their quality and the role they can play in veterinary medicine.
Healthcare Products for your pet – Part 9
Does your dog head for cover and become stressed when he hears sudden loud noises? Don’t you? A dog has a fear of the unknown just like people do.
A fear of fireworks and thunderstorms, or any sudden loud noise is generally common in dogs and other pets, and in many cases is accompanied by other anxieties, such as separation anxiety. Dogs with multiple anxieties appear be predisposed to such fears.
It is not known at what age these phobias develop. Most puppies are afraid of a lot of things because they are new to them. Sometimes, even with older dogs, it can originate from being exposed to a sudden loud noise that is particularly disturbing. For fireworks, it may not be just the noise causing the problem—it may the flash of light that accompanies the loud noise, or the strong sulfur smell that comes after the explosion, or it may be the suddenness or the frequency of the noise.
An unfortunate difference between people and dogs who suffer from phobias is that in people we can ask questions and discuss and identify the root of the problem. This can be important in getting to a solution. Usually in dogs we cannot know how or when the phobia started, and so must work with the tools we have such as anxiety relief products
to help find a solution.
