Bee stings and your dog

On August 10, 2011 / Tip of the Week

I got bit by some kind of nasty bug this week and it hurt REALLY bad!! My foot swelled up like a little balloon and I could not walk on it. It was very uncomfortable and it scared mommy cause I am usually very tough. I got stung by a bee before and mommy just pulled the stinger out and we went on our merry way. One other time, we were hiking in the mountains and I stepped on red ants!! YIKES!! Those buggers REALLY hurt. I could not walk for about 4 hours and mommy had to carry me

Tips for kayaking with your dog

On August 3, 2011 / Water Activities

Who says the only thing you can do with your dog is take them on a run/walk. Kayaking is a fun thing to do on a hot day with your dog, especially if your dog enjoys the water.

Mommy threw the ball and I swam and swam and

Exercising in the heat

On July 6, 2011 / Tip of the Week

WOW!! It has been boiling hot here in San Diego and other parts of the country. Should you take Fido out in this heat? What kind of exercise can you and your dog do in the heat that is safe. A few things that you should know is that dogs do not sweat like people do. Most of their sweat glands are located around their paws. If you see wet footprints on your floor, it is most likely sweat unless your dog was playing in the sprinklers. They also have dilating vessels around their face and ears that help
