I was originally hoping to get a video, or at least a recording, of Thor snoring online, but I have to improve my video skills and figure out how to handle those files first. X-D

Charlie with what may be his last stick cigar. I figured it was only a matter of time till this orally-fixated doofus got himself into trouble. He’s now recovering from a stressful - and monumentally expensive - stomach surgery. The vet removed something we still can’t identify, but apparently proved irresistible to him. I’m very sad that he’ll probably have to wear a little muzzle-type thing to keep him from devouring everything he sees. We know he hated wearing a head harness, and we plan to work hard on further training with “drop it,” but it’s hard to train a dog so hellbent on eating the inedible! Anyone have any tips or advice on this issue? #dogs #dogcare #dogproblems #dogsofinstagram #instadog #dogstagram #mutts #muttsofinstagram #doglover #dogmom #instadogs #instapet #petstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBzdZ3OwpN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Developing Your Dog’s Social Skills

As a pet owner, you want your dog to interact well with other people and with other dogs. Socializing your dog is an important step in his development and in helping him become a good citizen.

Form Positive Associations

In many shelters, a big part of getting dogs and puppies ready for the adoption floor is having volunteers and staffers play with them. That's because play - even something as simple as fetch - helps socialize dogs and gives them positive associations with people.

Socializing with Other Dogs

When it comes to socializing your dog with other dogs, proceed with caution. Puppies usually love to be around other puppies, but some adult dogs that haven't been socialized adequately at an earlier age may find the pressure to play with other dogs stressful. If you bring your dog to a place full of other dogs, at first it may be best to keep him close to you and reward him for sitting quietly while other dogs pass by.

Canine Catastrophe Leads to Communist Capers: My Dog Destroyed My iPad, Now I Have a "New" One from China (Don't Tell Apple!)

Let's face it, folks. Owning a dog is a constant gamble. You open your heart, you open your home, and sometimes, you open the door to find your favorite chew toy transformed into a drool-covered iPad graveyard.

That, my friends, was my reality last week. My trusty iPad, the one that held all my notes, games, and questionable internet searches, was now a mangled mess, courtesy of my overly enthusiastic golden retriever, Sir Barks-a-Lot (yes, very creative, I know).

Devastated? Absolutely. Broke? Also, yes. But then, a glimmer of hope emerged from the depths of the internet (a place Sir Barks-a-Lot is thankfully banned from). I stumbled upon a website that promised "amazing deals" on electronics – specifically, iPads that looked suspiciously familiar to my dearly departed one.

Now, I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but something smelled a little… well, like cheap plastic and questionable manufacturing. But hey, desperation is a powerful motivator, and the price tag was lower than a squirrel's self-preservation instincts. So, I took the plunge.

A week later, a package arrived (wrapped in what appeared to be recycled pizza boxes – a sustainability effort I can get behind!). Inside, nestled amongst packing peanuts that suspiciously resembled packing ramen noodles, was my "new" iPad.

Let me tell you, this thing is… unique. The Apple logo looks more like a confused pear, and Siri has been replaced with "Shiri," who speaks in a heavily accented monotone and constantly reminds me to "drink more water, comrade." The games are… interesting. There's "Angry Birds: Siberian Gulag Edition" and "Candy Crush: Proletariat Sweets."

But hey, it works! I can still write notes, play questionable internet games (though I swear the graphics are slightly more… socialist realist), and most importantly, keep Sir Barks-a-Lot entertained with his newfound chew toy (don't tell him it's his iPad doppelganger).

So, the moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of a desperate online search and a dog with a penchant for destruction. And if you're looking for a "slightly used" iPad at a bargain price, well, you know where to look (but maybe stock up on instant ramen and vodka for after-sales support).

Disclaimer: I am in no way endorsing questionable online marketplaces or iPads that speak in broken English with a communist agenda. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous (and broke), who am I to judge? Check it out at your own risk: [https://tinyurl.com/mr7a9aft] (Just don't tell Apple I sent you!)

I love this little girl, she is such a mixed bag of emotions but she is my mixed bag. She sits and waits wherever I need her to but hates people and dogs so if you see a dog in a yellow jacket please don’t stroke her!

I've been feeling like I'm a witch hunter with all these damn ticks on our dog.

They just appeared out of nowhere even if had just checked that the dog didn't have any then i have to take them off and burn them like the devils they are.

A Head to Toe Guide to Washing Your Dog

While that doggy smell can be completely normal, many dogs do seem to be particularly on the nose. Getting your dog used to regular grooming and bathing from an early age and making sure you have fun doing it will ensure you have happy, healthy and odour free canine companion.

Shampoos and Conditioners

Dogs have skin that is half the thickness of human skin, is very sensitive and has a different pH. You can’t always assume that human products are okay for your pet. Use a good quality and gentle pet shampoo and if your dog is prone to dry skin, greasy skin, frequent skin infections or is itchy, ask your Vet which shampoo is best.

You can also view our guide to dog shampoos for a more detailed look at what shampoos will suit your dog. Conditioners are not really necessary, unless your dog has particularly dry hair. Most pet conditioners are leave-in and can be applied as the coat is drying, or even without washing first.

Where to Bath Your Dog

Smaller dogs can be easily bathed in the laundry sink, a baby bath, the normal bath tub or even the bottom of the shower. Using a non-slip mat can make your pet more secure on the slippery surface. An inside bath allows you to ensure the water is warm, but not warmer than your skin. If it is a nice sunny day, you can wash your pet outdoors and a nice game of fetch or a walk afterwards is a great way to stop them rolling in the garden and will speed up the drying process.

Technique

Keep a hand on your dog at all times when you are washing them. This will make it less likely they will shake all over you and attempt to leap from the bath. Have everything ready before you go and make sure you include a good massage while shampooing and towelling off to make the whole experience pleasurable for your pet. If your dog is a bit worried about bathing, particularly in certain areas, use lots of food rewards to encourage good behavior. If your dog is prone to wiggling and getting water in the ears, place a piece of cotton wool loosely in the ears to avoid getting water down there.

Bath time is a great time to check your pet’s nails, ears, teeth and skin for any abrasions or new lumps and bumps. Systematically feel your pet all over, perhaps while you are doing a nice massage with the shampoo.

Start With These Basics

Hose or handheld spray for the taps if using a sink or bath

Towels

Bathmat or something clean to stand on if outside

Shampoos/conditioners

Brush

Face washer or sponge

Hairdryer if you need a quick dry

Cotton wool

Ear cleaner

Nail clippers

Treats

The Step-by-Step Washing Process

Brush your pet to remove any tangles or debris from the coat.

Get your pet wet, avoiding the head.

Apply a 20c piece amount of shampoo, lathering up all over.

Massage your pet to distribute the shampoo.

Leave on for the recommended length of time.

Meanwhile use a face washer or sponge to wipe down the face (no need for shampoo).

Rinse, making sure all the residue has disappeared.

Stand back and allow your pet to shake.

Towel dry.

Use a hairdryer on a low heat with a brush or take your pet for a walk in the sun to dry.

Check your pet’s ears and remove any cotton wool. If your dog needs an ear clean, check our ear cleaning guide for detailed instructions.

Check your dog’s nails, if they need trimming, follow our step-by step nail trimming guide.

Smelly Dogs

Dogs that really do smell bad may actually have allergies or dermatitis. Take your pet in for a check-up with your Vet to rule out any underlying problems such as bacterial or fungal skin disease or dental disease. Your Vet will also be able to recommend the best shampoo for your dog’s skin type. develop a smelly odors in between baths, have slightly red or itchy skin may have allergies. Dogs that have fleas often also develop itchy and smelly skin, so ensure your flea control is up to date, even if you don’t see visible fleas on your pet.

You can also use Dermoscent to increase the fatty acid balance in the skin and improve smell. There are also various leave-in conditioners that can be applied in between baths to improve smell, such as Aloveen.

We hope you enjoy the time spent giving your pet a bath. This quality time can become very important to your pet and doing the job yourself can save you a great deal of money over the lifetime of your dog.

Tips for Moving With Dogs & Cats

For humans, moving is typically a stressful event. Even if you’re moving into your dream home, it takes planning, packing and an adjustment period as you get used to your new place.  

The same is true for pets. Moving with a pet can sometimes be tricky. It takes some planning, a little patience and plenty of love—and treats—but if you follow these steps, you and your pets will get settled into your new home in no time.

Why Moving With a Cat or Dog Can be Tricky

Try to look at the move from your pet’s point of view. Their current home is more than their home; it’s their territory. Cats are especially sensitive and prefer being in a familiar environment.

Preparing Your Cat for a Move

The first step in preparing your cat for a move is making sure they’re used to being in a pet carrier. No matter how near or far you’re moving, you’ll need to put your cat in a carrier to get them there.
