A plea to be responsible pet owners from a man who tragically lost his dog
My friend, Nick, recently sent me an email seeking info on shelters and rescues because he was looking for a new dog. It was a bittersweet search as he had just lost his other dog due to a savage attack on a walking trail. I'm posting his blog about the incident, which appeared on the Indystar.com website, in which Nick makes a plea to pet owners to keep their animals vaccinated and, if needed, muzzled in public.
The good news is that he has a new dog, Danny, a 1-year-old Lhasa Apso…

Please help Winston find his favorite treat!
We have been looking everywhere for a dog treat that our Yorkie-Pom, Winston, likes. Bought them a while back at Sam's Club, which no longer carries them. They come in a bag of 8-10 pieces and look like bones with some savory bumpy coating that is yellowish. They are about 5 inches long. Of course, we didn't save the bag or we could have looked them up online. Anyone know what these are and where to get them? We don't want our little boy to have an empty Christmas…

The most common food things that dogs are allergic to are the things they eat most commonly: chicken, beef, lamb, eggs, wheat, corn, soy. These are the things that are in all of their foods. Sometimes its as easy as go to a grain-free food. Sometimes, you have to do an elimination diet and…
