A Party For Your Dog

Throwing a dog party is not as far-fetched as you might think. You might not have known it, but dogs love to party. Hey they don’t call ‘em party animals for nothing. Finally we humans have come to realize this. Doggie celebrations are increasingly popular. Since dogs are part of the family, doggie owners want to make sure that Rover’s birthday is celebrated just as any other member of the family. In some cases the family dog is the only one getting a party. But it’s not just dog birthday parties that dog owners are celebrating. Graduation from obedience school, bark mitzvahs, and puppy showers are all cause for celebration.

Dog parties range from a typical backyard gathering to get togethers at the local dog bakery or doggie daycare to elegant weddings complete with Dom Perignon. And if you don’t have the first clue about throwing a doggie bash, don’t worry. Your local dog bakery or doggie daycare is happy to help you plan your dog party.

Dog Ear Care

Dog Ear Care
With spring and summer right around the corner, rest assured that dogs are looking forward to getting wet. Unfortunately when dogs are wet they face ear infections caused by moisture trapped in the ear canal.

Signs that your dog is suffering from a canine ear infection include shaking of your dog’s head, pawing at the ears, drooping one ear, and a foul odor coming from the ear. Sometimes the outer part of your dog’s ear is red and inflamed and may be warm to the touch. A healthy ear has no odor and no buildup.

Tea tree oil products are a great way to dry the dog ear canal. To insure your dog’s health it is recommended that you use the mildest cleaner you can find. Be sure to check your dog’s ears on a regular basis to check for problems.

If symptoms don’t subside, it is important to take your dog to the veterinarian to have his ear’s checked out.
