How to Add Fiber to Your Dog's Diet

  The easiest way to boost your dog’s fiber intake is to add a high fiber food to their meals. The most commonly reached for item is pumpkin. It’s readily available as canned pumpkin. Smaller dogs will only need about a tablespoon added to their meals while larger dogs may need up to a quarter cup. As with any diet change in dogs, it’s recommended to start slowly, so if you have a large or giant breed, start with a smaller amount of pumpkin and slowly work your way up to a quarter cup. Green beans are another whole food that can be a great fiber source. Raw green beans are less digestible but they can be steamed for easier digestion. Obviously make sure they are sufficiently cooled before giving to your dog. Alternatively, frozen green beans are also a great option. Similar to pumpkin, smaller breed dogs may only need about a tablespoon (you can chop them up for easier measuring) while larger breed dogs can have a quarter cup. Sweet potatoes are another fantastic option for natural...

Why Do Dogs Have Whiskers?

Whiskers are sensory hairs that are also called vibrassae, tactile hairs, or sinus hairs. They differ in structure from the hairs that make up your dog’s fur, not only in appearance, thickness, and stiffness, but also in how they are connected to your dog’s body and brain. Whiskers are only located on dogs’ faces and can be found above the eyes, around the nose, under the chin, and on the cheeks. Since dogs use their faces and noses to glean all sorts of information about their world, it makes sense that whiskers would develop in these areas to provide extra sensory input. What Are Dog Whiskers For? Whiskers help dogs perform a variety of vital functions, including: Finding their way in the dark Navigating through narrow or tight spaces Distinguishing objects up close where eyesight is less reliable Locating food and water Determining threats in the environment Expressing interest or curiosity Detecting wind direction for locating smells Picking up small objects with the mouth1

Poisonous Plants for Dogs

Some of the most dangerous plants are also some of the most popular, including holiday favorites and garden mainstays. It's best to assume that all plants aren't good for your puppy and try to keep it from eating any of them. This includes plants like belladonna, English ivy, daffodils, tulips, foxglove, holly, rhubarb, yew, azalea, caladium, and nightshade. Keep your puppy away from these and all similar plants.Be particularly aware of plants around holidays, as these can also be toxic and are often brought into the home at times of maximum distraction. Poinsettias aren't as deadly as often thought, but do cause mild problems, such as excess salivation or gastrointestinal irritation. If your dog eats a poisonous plant, you are likely to see at least one or two of the following symptoms. However, if you know or strongly suspect that your pet ate a toxic plant, don't wait until symptoms appear before calling the veterinarian, because by the time they do, it could be too ...
