| Human Foods that Poison Pets |
| | By Dr Cam Day BVSc BSc MACVSc | Read 1197 time(s) |
Feeding pets food that we enjoy is not only wrong, it can also be fatal. There are some foodstuffs that humans relish which cause illness and death if eaten by pets. Chocolate, macadamia nuts and onions are good examples. Each of these foods contains chemicals which rarely cause problems for humans, but for dogs, these same chemicals can be deadly. |

5 | The Danger of Paralysis Ticks |
| | By Dr Cam Day BVSc BSc MACVSc | Read 1619 time(s) |
[Australia] The Paralysis Tick and the Brown Dog Tick are the two most common ticks on dogs. However, it is the Paralysis Tick that is by far the most dangerous. It causes paralysis in a variety of forms but a 'typical' case starts with weakness of the hindquarters that progresses to total paralysis of all four legs. Other typical early signs include an altered bark and vomiting. When the chest muscles and muscles of the throat become affected, the dog is in serious trouble. |

How obedient is your dog? Is your dog one when, if you command "Go fetch the paper, boy!!", it does just that - it fetches the paperboy? If so, then your dog needs help. Well, now that the kids are heading back to school, why not consider sending your dog to school as well? Obedience training is how it's done and, without exception, it's important for all dogs. |
