Grooming rules

Healthy Dog Club

With busy schedules keeping us on the go, dog grooming often gets pushed aside for other commitments. However, proper pooch hair care is crucial — not just to keep your dog looking good, but also to ensure he’s in good pet health. “Dogs, like humans, feel better when they are clean and healthy,” says Alicia Seguin, a groomer at 2 PAWS UP in Cranston, R.I.

A Dog With A Lesson To Teach

Healthy Dog Club

By Robert Mueller It is so touching when I receive testimonials from my clients. Not only is it refreshing to hear a client’s story on their experience with raw diets, but I am able to hear how I have changed the life of their pet’s. This customer takes me through her experience with raw diet from the very beginning.  “I’ll believe it when I see it,” as the saying goes. Well, I see it, but I can hardly believe it. Bella, a Labrador retriever mix who was 13 years old on February 13, has been part…

Vetenerians have long suspected this: Watch out for dog halitosis…

Healthy Dog Club

By Robert Mueller I would guess that very few people are aware of the connection between good dental health and the benefits it provides for good cardiovascular health.

It is at this time when the “naughty puppy” stage begins, and they will chew on whatever they can find to relieve the pain. It is my recommendation that you give your puppy…

Much like their human owners, animals have to deal with unwanted weight, too. Animal obesity is an epidemic across the country with more than 50 percent of pets now overweight. My little girl Nadya, an adorable 7 year old bichon/poodle mix often overindulges in food. Every time she thinks she does something good, she expects a treat. You spoil them and then you don’t realize what you’re doing. To lose weight, cutting calories is the key. If you look at the calorie content of those treats, it would comprise probably…

Our dogs & bites….

Healthy Dog Club

Our furry friends bite an estimated 4.5 million Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sending almost 1,000 people to emergency rooms every day. Although that means bites are relatively common, the risk of contracting rabies is much lower than most people think (in the United States, anyway, where dogs are immunized for it; in other countries, the risk is higher). The majority of dog bites are minor and don’t require stitches, but make sure to wash the bite area thoroughly withsoap and lots of water.…
