How to Brush Dog Teeth

Learn how to brush dog teeth We know it sounds a little strange, but it’s a good idea to get into the habit of brushing your dog’s teeth. “But I give my dog special treats and bones to deal with that,” you may be saying. While there’s nothing wrong with that practice, it’s still not enough. And because they don’t have hands, the task falls to you to get in there with a brush. And we’re going to introduce you to how to brush dog teeth. If you stop to think about it, brushing your dog’s teeth makes sense. You dog is licking stuff and eating food off the ground all day. And if your dog as tooth issues, a lot of bacteria can make its way through your dog’s gums, making him quite sick. Add to the fact that dogs have, well… dog breath… and that some breeds are prone to dental problems (loose and abscess teeth being the most common problems), it’s smart to get habit of adding teeth brushing to your dog’s grooming regimen. So What Will I Need? If you’re looking to find out how to brush dog teeth, there are a few basic supplies you’ll need to stock up on. You’ll need dog toothpaste, and either a toothbrush, a nubby-surfaced rubber cap, a wash cloth or a piece of gauze wrapped around your finger. Personally, I use a toothbrush that fits on my finger, as it allows me to really get at my dog’s teeth. And it’s important that you only use dog toothpaste – toothpaste that’s made for us human is not meant to be swallowed, and since dog’s can’t spit, they will have to swallow it, which can make them sick. Plus, dog toothpaste comes in a variety of yummy flavors, such as peanut butter, chicken and bacon –and your dog will love this special treat! What Do I Do? When it comes to how to brush dog teeth, it should be comfortable for both you and your dog. To start off, lift your upper lips to get at the top set of teeth. Just like you would yours, brush your pooch’s teeth in a circular motion – right where the tooth meets the gum-line. And you dog’s teeth go all the way back, so get in there and brush those way-back chompers. Repeat these steps with the bottom set of teeth. Other Pointers I brush my dog’s teeth every day after I brush and wash his eyes with a face cloth, so it’s become part of our routine and he looks forward to it (thanks bacon-flavored toothpaste). Feeding your dog dry dog food or hard dog biscuits every day and giving him a hard toy or bone to chew on will help with proper teeth cleaning maintenance and keep those chompers tough. And remember, if you don’t clean your dog’s teeth, you vet will have to scrape off that nasty tarter build-up. This involves anesthesia, an unhappy pup and an expensive bill. Do yourself and your dog a favor and take care of it yourself on a regular basis. Now that you know how to brush dog teeth, will you be doing it? If you already do it, is there anything you find helps with the process? Leave us your thoughts and tips in the comments section below.

German Shepherd

German Shepherd Basics As far as we’re concerned, no list of iconic Germans is complete with out a little love for our favorite fury shepherds. That nation has given many gifts to the world, but none compare to the awesome power of the German Shepherd. This isn’t just one of the most popular dog breeds on the market, it’s also one of the best. So, what is it about the German Shepherd that people love so much? Quite frankly, that’s almost an impossible question to answer. There’s just so much to love. It’s not all about the fact that the breed makes great police dogs, though we do adore our four legged pups of the law! Sometimes known as an Alsatian, the German Shepherd is one of the most renowned breeds of dog out there in the world. German Shepherds are strong, loyal, and are highly responsive to training. Sure, they can often be larger and a little intimidating, but that doesn’t scare people off: German Shepherds are one of the most popular pets in the world. It’s impossible not to fall for these handsome gentlemen of the dog world. They are irresistible. Thanks to its large size, strength, and ability to behave obediently, German Shepherds are often used for police and military purposes. But what about a German Shepherd separates it from other dogs? As you’re about to learn, the German Shepherd might look like a classic breed, but it is actually a relatively new and unique type of dog. Yes, they do originally hail from Germany, but today German Shepherds are one of the most popular and recognizable dog breeds in the world. The only question is whether or not the German Shepherd is the right pup to bring into your home. That’s why you’re hear right? To learn everything that you could possibly want to know about owning a German Shepherd? Good. Keep your eyes glued to this page and scroll away. All will be revealed. All you need to do is keep reading. These dogs are strong, loyal, and are highly response to training. Origin German Shepherds do indeed get their name from Deutschland, because that’s where the first standard-bred Shepherds appeared. The twist? German Shepherds are actually a relatively young breed, having been fully bred in the 19th century. I’ll bet you didn’t see that coming? This breed is not as old as Germany itself. Instead, it’s a trim 200 years old. Practically a baby. As efforts were being made throughout the 19th century to standardize dog breeds – perhaps more of an art than a science – German Shepherds grew out of a group of dogs that were good at shepherding. German dog owners bred dogs that were good at rounding up sheep, protecting the flocks, and had strong, swift bodies. To say these dogs were good at shepherding would be an understatement, they mastered the form and set the standard. At the same time, these proto-German Shepherds often were a great deal different from the Shepherds in other towns and regions in northern Europe. But as enthusiasm for dog breed standardization grew, a man named Max von Stephanitz, a lover of work dogs, found a dog at a dog show that would come to be known as the “first” German Shepherd. He changed the dog’s name to Horand von Grafrath and Horand became the founding German Shepherd. Too few German Shepherds have been granted the privilege of having a “von” in their name since that OG German Shepherd. This needs to be addressed. So, good news reader! When your child asks you why they’re called “German Shepherds,” you’ll finally have an amusingly direct answer to give them. Pedigree

Doberman Pinscher

Doberman Pinscher Basics Come across a Doberman Pinscher in a dark alley and you can have a frightening experience indeed, particularly if you are afraid of dogs in the first place. But when we think of all the so-called “meaner” breeds of dogs, do we really mean they always make bad pets? Well, they can – if you don’t know what you’re doing in your dog selection efforts. You might be surprised to find out how appropriate a Doberman Pinscher can make as a pet as well as the quality of the companionship and loyalty they offer once you’ve formed a bond with them. But you might say, “I don’t want to form a bond with a Doberman Pinscher.” Well, that’s your loss. The Doberman Pinscher does indeed serve as a first-rate guard dog that will repel just about any unwanted visitor, but what’s also important is the day-to-day life you enjoy with your pet. And if you are thinking about acquiring a Doberman Pinscher as a pet, this article will help put this scary-looking and tough breed in its proper context. In other words, we’ll bring the Doberman Pinscher out of the dark alley and back into the welcoming and familiar setting that comprises your home. Let’s take a closer look at this strong breed of dog. Doberman Pinschers are famous as guard dogs, of course, and are highly responsive to training. Origin In the United States, these dogs can simply be known as Dobermans, but the Doberman and the Doberman Pinscher aren’t two different types of dog – they’re just two names for the same breed. And where did this breed come from? Like some other tough breeds such as the German Shepherd, the Doberman Pinscher comes from Germany and has its closest roots tied to 19th-century life. The Doberman was named for a man called Louis Dobermann who originally bred the animals. And what was Dobermann’s profession? Tax collecting… that’s all you need to know about his need for protection. Since he had access to a number of dog breeds, Dobermann set about breeding a dog that would make a loyal companion and excellent guardian. It’s no surprise that this deliberate breeding led to the quality dog we now know as the Doberman Pinscher. Its guardian instincts and loyal companionship remain well in tact here in the 21st century and it’s not a surprise that the Doberman Pinscher has become one of the most popular and recognizable breeds across the world.

Yellow-Bellied Slider

Yellow-Bellied Slider General Info The world of pet turtles is a diverse one: there are many breeds of turtles and each has its own characteristics that could potentially make it a better choice of pet for your family’s needs. The Yellow-Bellied Slider is an attractive turtle that will need a lot of space as it grows- in the first three years of its life, it can be housed in a smaller tank around 40 gallons, but it will eventually require an aquarium that’s at least 75 gallons. Not unlike most land and water turtles, Yellow-Bellied Slider will not like being handled and petted, so if you are looking for a cuddly and overly affectionate pet, a turtle might not be the best choice for you. The Yellow-Bellied Slider belongs to the group of diurnal turtles, or in other words- turtles that are active during the day. They love munching on chopped veggies or insects in the morning, and will spend the day basking in the sun- in the wild, it would be on a floating log or on the shore. In captivity, your pet turtle will depend on you to provide a suitable environment for it to thrive. Even though they are not as well known or as popular as the similar Red-Eared Slider, these animals are a good choice for those who wish to add a turtle to their family. The Yellow-Bellied Slider is an attractive turtle that makes a great pet. Native Habitat

53 Dogs That Survived a Plane Crash Are Now Available for Adoption

Some dogs really seem to have bad luck all around – but this unfortunate incident might just have a fairytale-like happy ending for all pooches included. A few days ago, a plane carrying 53 dogs and 3 people from New Orleans to Wisconsin, crashed onto the Western Lakes Golf Club course in the town of Delafield, Waukesha county. The twin-engine turboprop aircraft landed on its undercarriage, but before it ended up on a golf course, it came through trees and the wings came off the aircraft, ending up several hundred feet away from it upon landing. Miraculously, though, no one was seriously hurt – human or canine – and all have only had some scrapes and minor injuries. Responders were quick to the scene and started helping dogs out of the crates they were kept in, with veterinarians and doctors at the ready to check everyone’s condition. While the dogs were being rescued from the cargo section, one of them actually jumped in the deputy fire chief’s arms and covered him in kisses – one could think of it as a form of thank you. Well, it certainly made an impression on deputy Wasielewski, as he returned less than 48 hours later to adopt the dog to his family – and she instantly recognized him when he came to the shelter. As Wasielewski said to the Washington Post – “as soon as the lady opened up the door, she bypassed my wife, jumped in my arms, and started giving me kisses“. He teared up and it was over – the decision had been made and this lucky pooch got her forever home at that very moment.While CeeCee (now named Marley) has found her family right there in the plane wreckage, most of her canine companions from the flight are still waiting on their chance to get a forever family. The remaining dogs were transported to a range of local shelters after the crash, and while their physical injuries were minor, the rescuers are unsure of the possible effect the accident could have had on their future behavior when it comes to spending time in a crate – which is why the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha (HAWS) will be giving free behavior training sessions to people who adopt any of the dogs if they turn out to have difficulties with crate training. All of the dogs are available for adoption since that’s the reason why they were transported in a plane in the first place – and are looking for a loving family to take them in and help them forget all about this unfortunate plane crash. HAWS took in 21 of the 53 dogs from the crash, and the rest of the dogs were taken in by The Washington County Humane Society, Elmbrook Humane Society, Humane Society of Sheboygan County, and Humane Society of Jefferson County, in case you’d like to meet some of these lucky survivors and maybe offer one of them a loving home.

It is found in states ranging from New Jersey to North Carolina, although it has also been found in Massachusetts. Overall Description

Californian Rabbit

Californian Rabbit Breed History/Origin The Californian Rabbit breed was developed in the 1923 by George West of California. His plan was to develop a breed with the “perfect” meat as well as a dense, desirable coat. After five years of breeding, he developed a small, chinchilla-colored male by crossing a Himalayan white with Chinchillas. The buck was bred with several of West’s New Zealand rabbits to increase their size, and so the Californian Rabbit was born. West gave a few of his stock to two trusted Southern California breeders and together, they perfected the breed. The Californian rabbit was first shown as a breed in 1928, its first appearance at an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) convention in 1932 and became a recognized breed in 1939. Today, Californian rabbits are only surpassed in popularity by the New Zealand whites.  The Californian Rabbit makes a great pet because of its mild temperament. Overall Description

These obscenely cute doggos inspire love at first sight whereever their furry little bodies appear.

So, to ensure Miniature Aussiedoodle is the ideal match for your family and vice versa, keep on reading! It’s really your only option.The Miniature Aussiedoodle combines the hypo-allergenic Miniature Poodle with the Miniature Australian Shepherd.OriginThe origin of the Miniature Aussiedoodle is unclear, but that’s true for the majority of designer dog breeds. In the late 1980s, when Labradoodles became all the rage and set the trend for crossbreeds. From there, many mixes followed. The Miniature Aussiedoodle is just one of the dozens of ‘doodle’ designer dogs that hoped to combine the hypoallergenic coat and the intelligence of the Poodle with other desirable traits from a second purebred. Based on what we know about designer dogs in general, it’s probable that the Miniature Aussiedoodles were first bred in the United States, sometime in the last 20 to 30 years. Unfortunately, we simply don’t know much about the history of the breed beyond that.The history of the Miniature Aussiedoodle might be short and somewhat enigmatic, but the same can’t be said for parental breeds. Their history is quite rich and storied! The Poodle started out in Germany centuries ago as a hunting retriever-style dog, but has been bred throughout generations to achieve more of a more companionship-centered personality (as well as a variety of sizes). The Miniature Australian Shepherd was first introduced in the United States back in the late 1980s and contributes 50% of the Miniature Aussiedoodle’s DNA. This smaller-scale pooch is not a crossbred version of the full-sized Australian Shepherd but in fact a purebred. By continually selecting and breeding the smallest pup in the litter, breeders were able to produce a pint-sized version of the Aussie native. Hence the Miniature Australian Shepherd moniker. This tiny pup earned that name!Pedigree

Top 10 Ginger Dog Breeds

Gingers sometimes get the raw end of the deal. Why is that? Because we’re kinda keen on these orange-hued pooches – aren’t they handsome?! The word “ginger” means something different to each of us. For the health-conscious, it’s likely fresh ginger root while for those who are fans of old movies it may be Ginger Rogers. If you love classic TV sit-coms you may be thinking of the aptly-named redhead from Gilligan’s Island, while for monarchists it is, of course, Prince Harry. So, it should come as no surprise that with dog breeds, it’s no different. There is a wide range of opinions as to what this zesty color palette refers to. Is it a bright, peachy-orange coat, perhaps one with a warmer golden hue or maybe a deeper, rusty tone? At the end of the day, its all in the eye of the beholder and whatever you envision when you put the words “dog” and “ginger” together, you’re right. While not all breeds have that full-flame ginger coat, you might be surprised at the number that have worked a snappy shot of it into their color mix. So, let’s check out the top 10 breeds that we think are, well, peachy keen:

Cavachon

Cavachon Basics Choosing a dog can be incredibly difficult. There are so many incredible breed options out there. There are so many adorable doggos just begging to be loved. How could anyone possibly choose?! Fortunately, designer dogs help, combining the trains of multiple puppers in one perfect package. If you can’t make up your mind between the gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the playful Bichon Frise, the Cavachon may be just the dog you are looking for. It combines the best of both worlds! As the offspring of two very popular small breed dogs, this hybrid promises to be a wonderful companion and a family pet. Plus you get all of that in an unbelievably adorable package! How could anyone possibly resist? This designer dog is not accepted by the AKC because it is technically a hybrid or crossbreed rather than a purebred dog. If you aren’t concerned with showing your dog, however, this may not be a problem at all. Despite the lack of official recognition, these lovely mixes offer a lot to their owners. In general, they are cute, smart, friendly, and have a sweet nature. What more could anybody want? However, you should keep in mind that the appearance and temperament of designer dogs like the Cavachon varies greatly from one litter to another. But, for the most part, you can expect a combination of Cavalier- and Bichon Frise-like characteristics. The only question is which parent’s genes will prevail! It’s a surprise every time. No two Cavachons are alike, even within the same litter. Still, given how wonderful his parents are, Cavachons tend to make for incredible companions regardless of how the gene pool shakes out. These dogs are bred to be loved and you will be powerless to resist their charms if you bring one into your home. If you can’t make up your mind between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise, the Cavachon may be just the dog you are looking for. Origin Up until the Labradoodle became a worldwide phenomenon, designer dogs weren’t even a term, let alone a trend. Generally, all mixed breed dogs were considered to be mutts, no matter what their lineage was. That was snobbish judgment and thankfully those days are over. Everything changed when breeders realized that by intentionally crossing purebreds, they could eliminate some of the hereditary health issues and create improved new breeds in the process. Of course, it’s silly to think that there haven’t been any crosses between purebreds until designer dog breeds came to be. It’s just when their mixing became intentional that the dogs were selected for certain qualities rather than just being a product of an “accident”. Gleneden Kennels of Virginia claims to be the first to cross a Cavalier King Charles and a Bichon Frise in an effort to produce a new breed. According to them, the first litter of Cavachon was born in 1996, in the United States. Over 20 years later, the Cavachon continues to be a popular and beloved hybrid responsible for bringing furry joy to a vast number of happy homes. Pedigree

Newfypoo

Newfypoo BasicsLooking for a big pup with an even bigger heart? Then the Newfypoo is the dog for you! This gentle giant will blow you away with his combination of intelligence, playfulness, and a kind heart. The Newfypoo is a large breed designer dog suitable for families that live in a house with a big backyard. These pooches don’t do well in cramped condos, they need plenty of space to burn off all of their excess energy. Since these are really friendly and outgoing dogs, they usually manage to get along with everybody (Well, if they have been properly trained and socialized, that is). For that reason, they can adapt to various families and lifestyles- from active singles to families with kids. The Newfypoo will be happy and content as long as he gets all of the love and attention that he deserves.The Newfypoo is a dog with many names. Depending on who you ask, they are also known as the Newdle, Newfydoodle, Newfiedoo, Newfoundlandpoo, Newfoundlandoodle, Poofoundland, and Newfoundland-Poodle Mix. Naturally, as these alternative names are a bit of a mouthful, so the Newfypoo is currently the only “official” name for the breed. In case the name(s) didn’t already give it away, these large dogs can be a cross between the elegant Poodle and the sweet Newfoundland. As with all crossbreeds, these dogs can be a bit unpredictable in terms of which parent they favor more genetically. However, because the parental breeds in question are quite compatible, you can be certain that you’re getting a smart, gentle, and friendly dog. That will stay the same even if they’re slightly bigger or curlier than you may have expected.It’s hard to resist the charm and looks of a Newfypoo, but you should get to know this breed well before you decide to add one of these precious pooches to your family. Get the facts below so you can make the right choice when you’re ready to add a dog to your household. While every dog is lovable, they aren’t all necessarily the right match for every home.The Newfypoo is a mix between a Poodle and a Newfoundland.OriginWhen it comes to designer dogs, it’s not always possible to know the exact origin of each individual breed. The reason for this is that many of these crossbreeds have existed for ages, albeit as unplanned litters of accidental matings between purebred dogs. Generally speaking, the origin of a designer dog is considered to be the moment when breeders started developing the mix intentionally. For instance, the Newfoundland and Poodle mix was probably made to create a new breed that would be adaptable, friendly, and extroverted with a chance for a low-shedding coat. We can’t know for sure, but that seems like the most likely goal behind this pooch.While we might not know the nitty gritty about the development of this hybrid, the general history of designer dogs tells us a lot about the Newfypoo. It’s probable that the Newfypoo is a designer crossbreed from the United States that had its start sometime in the last 20 years. Beyond that, it’s hard to say specifically where this breed came from.Pedigree
