How To Use The Pet Cage As An Educational Tool

by user October 15, 2022
written by user

Certain canine behavior practitioners believe that learning how to use the pet cage can teach the animal to feel good in its cage. It’s a practical tool if it’s used sparingly, in the right contexts, and under the right conditions (calm and in a gradual way).

How To Use The Pet Cage For Training Your Pet

If ever there was one controversial subject, the use of the crate in the education of a puppy or kitten requires the acquisition of some knowledge so that this enclosed space becomes a comforting refuge for the animal.

For many people, putting an animal in a cage is synonymous with punishment. Used wisely, the cage can however become an ally in very specific situations.

What Is The Pet Cage Used For?

The cage should not be synonymous with punishment.

Its use is also a way to see to the safety of the animal which, in our absence, could chew the electric wires or swallow the foam of a chewed cushion. Therefore, the cage is used to teach about space to our little furry one, of course, but on the condition that he can hold back the time to be there! In addition, it can be used after a game session, for a return to calm.

We also use it if we want to take advantage of a moment of calm to welcome guests or to prepare meals. Finally, it is one of the safest ways to transport your pets. In our presence, it will always remain open so that the pet can enter and leave of its own free will.

How To Use The Pet Cage For Training:

The introduction of this tool in the life of the animal does not happen just anyhow. During the first days after buying the cage, we throw in treats.

You can even feed it there and then the cage becomes a positive place; our companion understands that pleasant things happen there.

The first time we close the door, it can get tense. So it’s best to make your pet realize that he/she has to stay within the pet cage even if the gate is open. Practice from thirty seconds to a minute, no more – and let him stay there in your presence, we give him his favorite treats and we repeat the experience several times till you want him/her to come out.

The crate should always be part of the pet’s life, even after training is over. For example, we can keep it for sleeping at night and for car transport so that the positive association remains.

On the other hand, if they cry out, we must be careful of our actions.

It’s very difficult to know if it’s a whim or not as sometimes your pet might want to pee.  In this case, it must be taken out. But if we know it’s safe and we’re sure everything’s okay that he/she already revealed himself/herself, then asking them to remain in the cage is wonderful training.

How To Choose A Pet Cage:

Our expert suggests having two: one rigid (metal or plastic) for the house and one flexible, which we will leave in the car.

Rigid models are more durable, but soft cages are easy to transport.

Regarding the dimensions of the crate, the dog must be able to stand and sit in it, or even stretch out to sleep. Better to take it bigger than too small.

One thing is certain: the cage is not an alternative solution to compensate for the lack of education or a surplus of energy.

Similarly, prolonged use is to be avoided. If we have to leave for a long period, experts recommend installing a small enclosure in the house so that the dog can move more easily.

How To Use The Pet Cage For Cats:

According to many cat trainers, we must use the cage only to transport the cat from one place to another.

For the cat, a cage is not an educational tool or a means of calming the animal.

While the feline gets used to accessing it, we leave it in its environment. The cat must be able to make the place its refuge, its home.

We do not use the pet cage only on the day we bring the cat to the veterinarian or the groomer, because that will only increase the stress of the animal.

To encourage the feline to enter it, we place food or treats inside.

Also, cat owners must install a blanket or a cushion to make the place safe and comfortable.

As for the choice of model, opt for those that are rigid, easier to maintain, and resistant to scratches. We tend to believe that the bigger the cage the better, but that’s not true. The cat likes to be in tight spaces.

The only condition: he must be able to stand there and turn around.

Next, do not remove the cat from the cage if he cries during transport. It is wrong to believe that we reassure him by getting him out. To reduce his anxiety, present him with a toy or treats.

Finally, we clean the cage with soapy water after each use to eliminate the stress hormones that the cat may have secreted.

Indian Spitz: Things to Know About This Cute Breed of Dog

by user October 15, 2022
written by user

If you are a fan of Bollywood and have watched the 1994 classic called Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, you must definitely be aware of a cute, furry and white dog called Tuffy. It was as much a star of the movie as Salman Khan or Madhuri Dixit. Tuffy was portrayed by a six year old Indian Spitz called Redo. During the 1980s and 1990s, the Indian Spitz was one of the most popular dog breeds of the country as there were numerous restrictions on the import of dogs to the country. Because of that, locally developed breeds were very popular and the Indian Spitz was one of the forerunners. They still enjoy a lot of popularity today. In this post, we will take a look at the Indian Spitz in detail and also get to know a little about its international cousins as well. 

Indian Spitz: All You Need To Know

What is the Indian Spitz?

The Indian Spitz is a utility dog which is one of the most popular dog breeds in India and especially enjoyed a lot of demand during the 1980s and 1990s because India had a lot more restrictions on import and export.

How was the Indian Spitz developed?

The Indian Spitz is considered to be a descendant of the German Spitz which was introduced to the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj. In the beginning, the dogs were struggling with the immense heat of India. However dog breeders managed to successfully overcome this issue with subsequent generations while still rationing the intelligence of the original German breed. 

The Indian Spitz looks a lot like the Pomeranian breed of dogs and because of its adaptability to Indian conditions, it is extremely popular.

How did the Indian Spitz become so popular?

Until the economic reforms of the early 90s, the Indian Economy was very closed and restrictive. The import rules were very stringent and it was difficult to get exotic foreign breeds to India. 

During that time, the Indian Spitz, which shares the beautiful looks of the German Spitz, while comfortably living in the hot Indian climate, became extremely popular around that time. They aren’t very big and size and can live comfortably in an apartment as well.

Which dog appeared in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun?

The Indian Spitz was immortalized on the silver screen after its appearance in the 1994 classic Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Aside from superstars Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, the movie is also remembered for the 6 year old Indian Spitz called redo, who played the role of Tuffy in the movie. That movie propelled the Indian Spitz into superstardom and it became the most popular pet dog in the country for some time. The dog was owned by the movie’s assistant director Madhukar Sawle. Madhuri Dixit adopted the dog after the movie. Tuffy passed away in 2000. He was 12 years old.

What does the Indian Spitz look like?

The Indian Spitz is a cute fluff ball that is known for its fox like ears and conical nose. The Indian Spitz tends to have a very expressive face, making it very beloved. Being a native to India, the Indian Spitz is very comfortable in the country’s extreme heat as well. 

The Indian Spitz is a small breed of dog which doesn’t require a lot of space and food. It’s just about 13 inches in height at its shoulders. The dog is also very well known for its white double coat which is very furry. The Indian Spitz also has visible irises which makes its faces even more expressive. 

The Indian Spitz is a descendant of the German Spitz which was bred for hunting in the cold. Even though the Indian Spitz doesn’t do that, it has still retained the luscious white double coat and playful nature. Some Indian Spitz dogs are brown, but most of them are white in colour.

Indian Spitz

The Indian Spitz is also known for its fluffy and curly tail. They don’t have very long legs and it makes their large heads even cuter, giving them a puppy like appearance even when they are adults. Indian Spitz dogs are very friendly and get along with people with ease. They are willing learners and get housebroken with ease. On top of that, they get potty-trained quickly as well. They do have a double coat and a lot of hair but just a frequent brushing of their coat should be enough.

What are the grooming requirements for an Indian Spitz?

The Indian Spitz stays clean in general and doesn’t like to play in the mud too much. However, their long, beautiful and fluffy coats need frequent brushing to avoid matting. They should ideally be bathed at least once a week as their fur might catch a lot of dirt and dust. However, you shouldn’t bathe an Indian Spitz too often as that would lead to it’s fluffy coat becoming dull and lifeless.

Indian Spitz dogs shed a lot and once winter is over, you can find their hair all over your house. Just brush with a double row brush and get to the thick undercoat so that you can get rid of all the excess hair that is being shed.

What are the differences between the Pomeranian and Indian Spitz?

The Indian Spitz resembles the Pomeranian in many ways. However, if you take a closer look, the Indian Spitz and the Polish Pomeranian have distinct differences. They are a few hundred years apart in lineage and they do have some appearance differences. A Pomeranian’s ears are less pointy and its face is flatter. It is also smaller than the Indian Spitz and has a thicker coat (because of its ancestry in cold Northern Poland). Despite the differences, most Indians refer to the Indian Spitz as a Pomeranian. As a matter of fact, most households with pets in India had the Indian Spitz at a point of time, and most of them referred to their dog as a “Pomeranian”.

These are the major differences between the Pomeranian and the Indian Spitz:

  • The Pomeranian is significantly smaller than the Indian Spitz and actually qualifies as a toy breed because of its diminutive stature. Even the Lesser Indian Spitz is significantly larger than a Pomeranian.
  • The Pomeranian’s face is much flatter and it resembles a teddy bear more. Whereas the Indian Spitz has a more conical nose and resembles a fox. The Pomeranian also has much rounder ears than the Indian Spitz.
  • The Pomeranian has a much thicker coat than the Indian Spitz and it’s difficult to see the individual strands because of that. Because of that, Pomeranians need a lot more grooming than Indian Spitz.

Recently, the greyhound breed has seen a rise in popularity as a circle of relatives. They are very loving and enjoy the agency in their people and other puppies.

They are very calm and, contrary to what humans typically assume, they aren’t very aggressive.

The mega gifted Gaddi Kutta was originally produced for searching purposes, but now it is commonly used by local shepherds—basically Gaddis (from the tribe of the same name). They’re said to be tough enough to stave off snow leopard attacks. They have enough intelligence to herd runaway sheep and goats back to their confines.

20. Rajapalayam Dog

The Rajapalayam is a wholesome, strong and tall hound dog breed; they’re barely smaller than a Great Dane. They are usually used for searching for wild boar and hare. They have a powerful jaw, and an athletic, muscular, heavy construct.

Initially, they have been the associate dog of the royal family of the Southern Indian metropolis, Rajapalayam—it is in which they get their call. They are affectionate and devoted to their owners, even though now not constantly demonstrative. They are reserved puppies and do not normally want to be touched or treated by strangers. Rajapalayams do not get along well with other pets (like cats) as a result of their robust searching instincts.

Dogs are fantastic. They bring love, devotion, fur, as well as plenty of reasons to smile into your life. They’ll greet you as if you’ve been gone for hours if you’ve only gone to the store for five minutes. Whenever it gets chilly at night, they keep your bed warm for you. Dogs would sit in front of the TV with you without hogging the remote control. Also, the simplest activities, such as a car ride, bring the most excitement to dogs.

Dogs are amazing since, unlike humans, they unconditionally adore you. Owning a dog may even reduce your chances of developing heart disease.

Bread For Dogs: Is It Safe For Your Pups To Consume?

by user October 13, 2022
written by user

Bread is a staple food for humans and it’s eaten across different cultures and cuisines. Bread is a great and tasty source of carbohydrates. It is mainly made up of flour, water and yeast, so it doesn’t really have any harmful ingredients for dogs. Bread isn’t like chocolate, you can feed your dogs bread but it should be fed in moderation since excess carbohydrates in a dog’s diet can be harmful. Let’s find out more about the topic.

Bread for Dogs: Should You Feed It To Them?

Is it bad to give bread to dogs?

Pet dogs are omnivorous animals that can maintain a varied diet to benefit from the properties of different types of food. However, its nutritional requirements are based on the consumption of high-quality proteins, good fats, vitamins and minerals. The other components (such as carbohydrates) can be present in their diet, but always in a moderate way. Therefore, although your dog can eat bread, this food should not be the basis of his diet. Remember that the predominant nutrient in its nutrition should be proteins and not carbohydrates (just like for us).

Carbohydrates are fundamentally transformed into sugar at the end of the digestive process. Therefore, a high carbohydrate intake tends to raise blood glucose, making your dog more prone to a diagnosis of canine diabetes. In addition, if you incorporate many sources of carbohydrates in their diet, your dog can gain weight quickly and we must remember that being overweight in dogs is a risk factor for many diseases.

On the other hand, we must consider that bread, as well as pasta and rice, are sources of energy for the body. When consumed in moderation, they can help maintain a balanced metabolism and please our furry friends’ palate. However, we must be clear about some recommendations on how to introduce this food into the diet of our dogs. Therefore, in the next part of this article, we give you some tips to offer bread to your dog without hindering its digestion or representing any risk to its health.

Can dogs eat all kinds of bread?

If you wonder what type of bread is healthier for your dog, you should know that they are homemade breads, without preservatives, colorings or other industrial additives. Commercial breads (both those that we buy fresh from the bakery and those that are industrialized) usually contain considerable percentages of salt and refined sugar, two ingredients that are harmful to the health of our dogs. In addition, some types of bread also contain dairy (milk, yogurt, butter) and eggs, foods that can cause allergic reactions in furry dogs.

If you want to prepare homemade bread for your dog, we recommend preferring whole grain or cereal flours, such as oats, rice, barley and flax, since they are easier to digest than traditional wheat flour. You should also avoid adding biological (common yeast) or chemical (baking powder) ferment to the dough. But if you want to try something different and healthy, you can use brewer’s yeast, which offers many health benefits for dogs.

You should not add salt or sugar to the bread that you prepare for your dog. If you want to make a sweet recipe, you can use pure honey to sweeten it, since this food brings many benefits for dogs. And if you are making a salty preparation, you can incorporate other spices instead of salt to add flavor. Turmeric, for example, has numerous properties and can be added to almost every type of recipe, always in moderate doses.

What are some homemade bread recipes that are great for your dog?

If you want to incorporate new homemade recipes into your dog’s diet and let him enjoy food as exquisite as bread, we suggest you make a loaf of homemade bread without preservatives, which combines the beneficial properties of 3 ingredients: oats, banana and cinnamon. As you will see, this recipe will not use eggs, milk or wheat flour, to facilitate digestion and prevent food allergies in your dog.

On the one hand, the vein offers a high fiber content, facilitating intestinal transit, improving digestion, relieving stomach pain and preventing constipation. Banana is among the recommended fruits for dogs because it is rich not only in fiber, but also in vitamins and minerals, which are essential to strengthen their immune system and improve their physical resistance. Finally, we highlight the digestive, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties of cinnamon (and without forgetting its exquisite flavor!).

Here’s the recipe for a great type of bread for dogs.

How to make oatmeal and banana bread for dogs?

For this recipe, we will need the following ingredients :

  • 3 ripe bananas;
  • 1 cup of water;
  • ½ cup of olive oil;
  • 2 cups of fine organic oatmeal;
  • 1 tablespoon of pure honey;
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Next, we tell you the step by step to make your homemade oatmeal and banana bread for your dog:

  • First, we peel the bananas and cut them into medium-thick slices;
  • In a blender or food processor, add the banana slices, water, honey, cinnamon and oil. We grind all the ingredients until we obtain a homogeneous paste.
  • Finally, we add the organic oats and the baking soda, mixing our dough with the help of a spatula or spoon.
  • Then, we pour the preparation into a container and put it in the preheated oven at 180ºC.
  • To confirm that our bread is well cooked, we can insert a knife in the center of the preparation to confirm that it is not damp.
  • Let the bread cool down to room temperature and serve it to your dog.

This Banana Oatmeal Bread can be offered as an occasional treat for your beloved dog and provide a great mixture of taste and nutrition. Just remember, a balanced diet is crucial for your dog’s health (just like yours). Feed your dogs some tasty bread in moderation as excess carbs can have a negative impact on a dog’s health. Keep the diet centred around protein, while offering some bread for your dog in between.

Small Cat Breeds: Which Are The Smallest Cats That You Can Have As Pets?

by user October 13, 2022
written by user

There are a little over 100 cat breeds that are known by zoologists on planet earth. There are ancient, natural breeds such as the Turkish Angora cats and there are new breeds such as the Sphynx cats that were created through selective breeding in the 1960s. The whole cat family has a lot of variety and unless you are a cat expert, it is very difficult to keep up with every single one. Before you buy a pet cat or adopt one, it’ll be very useful for you to learn about the cat’s needs and what you need from a cat as well. Some cats have more docile temperaments than others, so get a cat based on the temperament you want. Don’t get a high energy cat if you just want a feline partner who doesn’t move around much. Size is another aspect you should keep in your mind while getting a cat. If you have a large house, you can go for a Bengal Cat or a Maine Coon. However, if you live in a small apartment, you should look for a small cat breed. Small cat breeds eat less than large cat breeds for obvious reasons so you should keep food expenses in mind as well. There are breeds of small cats such as the Singaporean, the Balinese or the Bombay. Some of these cats weigh just over a kilogram.

However, remember that the size of the cats can vary and sometimes there are unusually larger/smaller cats when compared to their breed’s average size. We advise you that before buying a cat consider the option of going through a shelter or kennel and look at the mongrel kittens that live there waiting to have a home. Maybe some of the ones you see fit the characteristics you are looking for and want to take home.

On the other hand, if you are thinking of acquiring one of the breeds that you will see below, it is important that you know well the characteristics of this type of animal and that you have accurate information from both the seller and the origin of your future pet. There have been many cases in which kittens are sold that have weaned prematurely or that are malnourished. These animals suffer from developmental problems such as dwarfism and some people take advantage of it to sell them by passing them off as one of these breeds. You have been warned, so stay away from such cats and breeders. Now, on to our small cat breeds, the tiny bundles of joy. Let’s get started.

Which Are the Best Small Cat Breeds?

Cats, just like dogs, vary in size. There are some which are very big, and some which are very small. Here are the best small cat breeds:

Korat

The Korat cat has its origin in Thailand. His body is quite muscular and strong, however, his size is not very large. Its weight is between 2 and 4 kilos.

It is a beautiful feline that is characterized by having its entire body covered by a soft silver-blue fur, in which its two large green or honey eyes stand out.

Devon Rex 

The Devon Rex cannot be missing from this list of small cat breeds either. Its ears and eyes are quite large compared to the rest of the body, which gives it a very particular appearance.

One of the most striking characteristics of this very novel cat (it emerged in the 60s) is its short, soft and wavy hair. Its average weight should not be much more than 2 kilos if it is fed in the right conditions and its size is around 27 – 39 cm.

Burmese

The Burmese cat is perfect to live in families with children because of its affectionate nature and its size. Also, females are usually much smaller than males.

Balinese

This little cat is named after the Balinese dancers because, these cats are as active, bouncy, funny and talkative as the dancers. These cats also have stunning blue eyes.

Munchkin

Undoubtedly one of the most significant characteristics of the Munchkin cat is its short legs. In addition to giving it a very funny appearance, it makes it one of the most appreciated small cat breeds!

It is a fairly recent breed. The cause of its legs being shorter than normal is a genetic mutation, but this does not prevent it from being an agile and playful cat. Males do not usually weigh more than 4 kilos and females 3 kg.

The respiratory problems that pugs have or the knee injuries suffered by bulldogs are some of the consequences of crossbreeds. Through such crosses, munchkin kittens were also obtained that have everything a human wants but not what a kitten wants. Its artificial physiognomy involves denaturing an animal such as the cat whose origin is speed, agility and jumping.

Skookum

It reaches, at most, 4 kg if it is male and 3 if it is female, and is one of the most popular small cat breeds.

Its curly hair makes it quite special since this fur is not very common in cats. It has short legs and is usually multi-colored. Because of its curly cute fur, the Skookum looks really adorable.

Singapura

Said to be the smallest breed of cat in the world, and no wonder, the Singapore or Singapura cats have very small measurements: they measure between 15 and 20 cm when they are adults and its average weight is between 1 and 3 kilos.

This size, along with his soft, light brown hair, makes them look like adorable plush toys. Of course, a stuffed animal that must be given all the care that felines require!

Bombay

They are like miniature panthers: energetic, intelligent and even talkative. And you know what’s best? They love to be taken for walks with a harness. They are also very playful, so you can find them playing around your house on many occasions.

Egyptian Mau

In Egypt, “Mau” means cat so it is called this way. These animals were revered and protected as sacred animals in ancient Egyptian civilization. If someone killed an Egyptian Mau, they were punished with the death penalty.

Rusty Spotted Cat

This small cat breed is so adorable. They could not be missing in this list of small cats, since their weight does not exceed one kilo and a half and their measurements are around 43 cm counting head and tail.

Its body is usually ochre, ivory or brown, with darker shades in the form of spots.

So those were some of the most adorable small cat breeds in the world. If you are looking for cute, cuddly, mini furballs, choose from any of these.

In this post, we will talk about Boo, a pomeranian who was labelled “the cutest dog in the world”, and take a look at some of the cutest dog breeds in the world. Let’s get started.

Which Is The Cutest Dog in The World?

Who is Boo, the cutest dog in the world?

Boo was a lovely pomeranian dog who was owned by a Facebook employee. The employee made a social media page and Boo’s immense cuteness was introduced to the world. Over the course of time, Boo built a following of 16 million on Facebook, becoming the most popular dog on social media. 

How did the cutest dog in the world die?

Boo, the cutest dog in the world, passed away in January 2019 at the age of 12. Boo died of a heart attack in his sleep. Many mourned the demise of the cute furball.

The Cutest Dogs in the World

All dogs are beautiful, but there are specimens of certain breeds that, as the following photos demonstrate, seem to be true miracles of nature. 

These are the breeds of the most beautiful dogs in the world: 

Pomeranian

This breed of dog is a walking fur ball. The former cutest dog in the world, Boo, was a pomeranian too. It’s hilarious to watch them run as all their hair is thrown back. If on a winter day, you see one with completely white hair, be careful, you can mistake it for a snowball.

Be careful with your heart because it can suffer an attack because of a Pomeranian’s cuteness. The Pomeranian stands out for being an extremely affectionate dog that you will love to take everywhere.

Siberian Husky

From Russia with love, the Siberian Husky is a really beautiful dog breed which oozes cuteness with its furry coat and multi coloured eyes. These dogs also look like wolves.

An attribute that nature has offered to this breed is the possible appearance of heterochromia, which is the possibility of having an eye of each color, from blue to brown, through green, yellow and copper tones. They are noble and calm dogs.

Chow Chow

Here we have a staunch aspiring stuffed toy looking dog. We can assure you that in some photos it would be difficult for you to differentiate it. This walking pom pom is known for having a tan coat, although it can also have black and cream. What you might not know is that this breed has a bluish-black tongue.

It is a somewhat shy dog, but very faithful to its family nucleus, with low exercise needs, although high training demands. 

Shiba Inu

The Shiba inu is one of the sweetest Japanese dogs that exist, whether due to its cute look, its small size or its eternal playful nature. The Shiba Inu almost went extinct during the Second World War in Japan but managed to bounce back with some help from the Japanese people. The Shiba Inu is also very well known for being the dog that appears on the “Doge” meme.

Samoyed

The smiley faced Samoyed is one of the cutest dogs in the world. Perhaps nothing can melt anyone’s heart faster than the smile on the faces of these giant furballs. The Samoyed is a Russian breed that has been used by nomadic tribes for many years. The stunning white coat and the playful nature of this dog are really cute. They maintain their puppy type demeanour even when they become adults. The kind and sweet nature of the cute Samoyed make it a great dog for families with children.

Labrador retriever

This is by far one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the world. All over the world, you can find households with a Labrador Retriever in it. Even though you can find these dogs just about everywhere, it doesn’t do anything to reduce their immense cuteness. There aren’t many things cuter than a playful Labrador puppy.

The Labrador Retriever not only inspires tenderness on all four sides, but is the image of loyalty personified. It is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful dogs and has a very sweet and obedient character.

Bichon Frise

One of the cutest dogs in the world, these furballs are known for being very cute, friendly and fluffy. They also tend to enjoy their grooming sessions a lot and love looking like some of the cutest creatures ever after that. They are great pets to have as they will brighten anyone’s day with their cute and playful nature.

Newfoundland

As beautiful as it is large and quiet. The Newfoundland is normally black, although there are also brown or white specimens with black spots.

He is really affectionate and protective of his own, patient and kind with children. The Newfoundland dog, in addition to being very cute, is an excellent rescue dog, which has saved the lives of hundreds of people throughout history. It loves water and is a master swimmer.

Shih tzu

The Shih tzu is another cute little dog. It’s funny because in ancient times the Chinese groomed them to look like little lions. They are very affectionate, sweet, and ultimately cute dogs.

The main characteristic of this breed is its long and silky coat that reaches the ground. You’ve almost certainly seen a photo of a shih tzu with a pin on its head. Cuteness overloaded.

Greyhound

Impossible not to include in the list the greyhound, one of the most beautiful and elegant dogs. Its body and elongated snout make it have a very special shape. Several designers have used his silhouette as a logo for their designs.

A misfortune is that at the same time that this news is given, there are others about the high amount of abandonment or mistreatment they suffer. If you are thinking of adopting a greyhound, do not hesitate to go to “SOS greyhounds” to take the most beautiful dog in the world to your home.

Pug

How can you be so adorable in such a small body? The pug, despite its tiny size, is a very calm and affectionate dog, close to those who take care of it on a daily basis.

In addition to its sweet face and tender gaze, the pug is one of the best dogs to have in a small apartment. It is impossible that a pug does not make you fall in love!

Staffordshire terrier

The Staffordshire Terrier is another of the cutest dogs in the world, but the truth is that its small size and its tremendously affectionate nature make it the ideal dog in any home. In addition to looking really cute and somewhat muscular, the Staffodshire terrier is one of the most affectionate dogs out there.

There are Staffordshire bull terriers of all colors, including tan, black or chocolate, either uniform or spotted. They are great.

Rough Collie

One of the most famous breeds in history thanks to Lassie, a rough collie dog who starred in several television series, movies and books. Their spectacular hair and elongated muzzle make long-haired collie dogs unmistakable.

It is, without a doubt, a cute dog, calm and very faithful to its owners. The rough collie is also a very intelligent breed which is very quick at learning commands.

Dalmatian

The Dalmatian is a dog that became tremendously popular after the premiere of Disney’s 101 Dalmatians and for its unmistakable white coat with black spots. In addition to being elegant, the Dalmatian is a beautiful and stylish dog that we will enjoy exercising with.

English Bulldog

The English bulldog has short legs, a large body, and an even larger head. Full of folds and with an obvious corpulence, the English bulldog falls in love with people around the world for its sweet character and adorable appearance.

Everything about the English Bulldog is awesome. It is funny (and affectionate). It is quite calm and balanced, the English bulldog will enjoy receiving affection from its owners and taking short walks. 

Cocker spaniel

If you are thinking of an elegant, small and intelligent dog , the cocker spaniel is undoubtedly a very good option. Not only do they exist with golden fur, there are several colors: black, cream, white with black spots, black with gold spots. All equally handsome and exquisite.

In addition, it is an affectionate dog, sociable by nature and really beautiful. In fact, the Lady in Lady and the Tramp is portraying a cocker spaniel.

Beagle

The beagle is a cuddly and sweet-looking dog that is sure to win the hearts of anyone who sees it. Beagles have a strong hunting instinct and are extremely loyal to their owners. With their short legs and long ears, they really look like some of the cutest dogs in the world.

Biggest Dog in The World: Which Is The Largest One?

by user October 13, 2022
written by user

Just about everyone in the world loves dogs. So many people claim to be the biggest dog lovers in the world but what if you are the biggest dog lover in the world? In this post, we’ve got a list of some of the biggest dogs in the world. If you are a lover of big dogs, you will have the biggest smile on your face while reading this post. Let’s get started.

Which is The Biggest Dog in The World?

Great Dane

The Great Dane, also known as the German Mastiff, is one of the most popular breeds of large dogs. Appreciated for his elegant and powerful physique, it is a very good watchdog. Its massive size is a deterrent to intruders. However, this dog is a gentle giant which is a very affectionate and easy-going dog. Faithful, this dog appreciates the presence of children and is benevolent and protective towards them. The male Great Dane measures at least 80 cm, against 70 cm for the female, for a weight varying from 50 to 70 kg. The record for the tallest dog in the world is still held to this day by George and Freddy, two Great Danes measuring over a meter and weighing over 110 kg.

The Great Dane is a descendant of the Alans, who are companion dogs of the Alans, a people of nomadic horsemen who migrated across Europe between the 4th and 6th centuries as they conquered. To obtain the dog we know today, a lot of large dogs were interbred, including the Bullenbeisser.

The Great Dane needs space, like most large dogs. It is necessary for him to exert himself every day in order to avoid aggressive behaviour.

Leonberger

Powerful, muscular and well balanced, the Leonberger is a very elegant giant dog. Calm, gentle and affectionate with those close to him, this breed is very protective of children. A Leonberger is also an excellent lifeguard at sea and in the mountains. The male Leonberger measures between 70 and 80 cm, against 60 to 75 cm for females, for a weight varying from 60 to 80 kg.

The Leonberger has origins that are still somewhat unclear. For some, it would be the consequence of a cross between Newfoundland, Saint Bernard and Pyrenean Mountain Dogs operated around the middle of the 19th century. For others, he is descended from the Tibetan Mastiff. For still others, it would be of German origin.

This impressive and imposing large dog is usually quite calm and quiet. However, he does need regular exercise, which will not prevent him from being lazy. In addition, Leonberger likes space and company; he hates loneliness and doesn’t appreciate being tied up.

Kangal

The Kangal is a large, powerful, vigorous and muscular dog. An excellent guardian, he is used to defending herds with great courage. Faithful, calm and affectionate, the Kangal can show himself however proud and independent and he can work in both extreme cold and extreme heat. Kangals grow up to be around 70 and 80 cm in height while their weight varies between 40-65 kgs.

The Kangal is a very old breed of dog. Kangals have descended from the powerful hunting dogs of ancient Mesopotamia and the war dogs of the Ottoman dynasty. They are also known as Anatolian Shepherds in many parts of the world because they originate from the Anatolian Peninsula (Turkey).

Newfoundland

If the Newfoundland is a large, imposing and impressive dog, it is also among the sweetest and most affectionate. Very sociable, he is good and protective towards children and very easy to train. The Newfoundland measures between 60 and 80 cm and it can weigh up to 70 kg for the largest males, 55 kg for the females. Its large plush appearance makes it a warm and pleasant companion. If he is not a watchdog, he is incredibly benevolent, loyal and reassuring, as well as a good rescuer at sea thanks to his great swimming skills.

On the other hand, Newfoundland does not like to be alone and locked up. To thrive, he needs frequent, long and dynamic walks. Respect his needs, because a lack of socialization can make him, over time, a dominant dog and difficult to control.

Newfoundland is originally from Canada; it takes its name from the island of Newfoundland. However, some specialists trace its origins to the Vikings, who would have imported them to America during their travels. 

Saint-Bernard

The Saint-Bernard is a famous mountain rescue dog. Qualified as a giant, he is imposing and known for his powerful, muscular, but very elegant physique. It is said to be a descendant of the Tibetan Mastiff, like the Newfoundland. If he is very impressive, he is also very calm, sociable, gentle and affectionate. Intelligent, he is particularly protective of his relatives and his territory, which makes him an excellent guardian. The Saint Bernard male measures between 70 and 90 cm on average, against 65 to 80 cm for the female, for a weight varying from 60 to 100 kg.

This rescue dog originated in the Swiss Alps. Chosen by monks from the Hospice du Grand-Saint-Bernard to carry out guard and rescue in the mountains, he remains the figure par excellence of the mountainous reliefs. Revealed by the Beethoven film series, he inspires kindness and is among the favorite dogs of families.

Saint Bernard needs space and it is important to respect its different needs to prevent it from becoming uncontrollable. In addition, he needs regular care and brushing. Saint Bernards tend to fall sick very often and the vet bills can be really high if you own one.

Neapolitan Mastiff

The Neapolitan Mastiff is a massive and heavy dog. However, he is very loyal, intelligent, affectionate and makes an excellent goalkeeper. This large, gentle dog needs regular care and an average of 1.5 kg of food every day. In addition, he needs space to exercise and it is preferable to have good knowledge in dressage to tame him. The Neapolitan Mastiff can measure up to 75 cm and weigh around 60 kg.

The Mastiff of Naples would have been imported from India to Greece by Alexander the Great around 300 BC. Legend has it that it was also used in the arenas of the Colosseum in Rome before becoming the guardian of the villas of southern Italy. Made famous by Samson, the Neapolitan Mastiff from the Fort Boyard show, then by Crockdur, Hagrid’s dog in the Harry Potter books and film series, he is known to be gentle and affectionate, but he can quickly become aggressive if he feels threatened.

Pyrenean Mountain Dog

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog, or Patou, is elegant and majestic despite its large size. Faithful, sometimes to the point of exclusivity, he is easygoing while having an assertive character. An excellent guardian, he is protective of his loved ones thanks to his sense of family. The male Pyrenean Mountain Dog measures between 70 and 80 cm, against 65 to 75 cm for females, for a weight varying between 45 and 80 kg.

Born in the Pyrenees, he was descended from the shepherd dogs of Asia Minor. We can find his traces as far back as the Middle Ages, a time when he served as a keeper of herds and castles. King Louis XIV is said to have made him popular by awarding him the title of Royal Dog of France. But he was also popularized by the novels and the television series Belle et Sébastien.

Borzoi

The Borzoi is a large greyhound with an aristocratic appearance. The Borzoi is gentle, calm and easy going. The male Borzoi can measure between 75 and 85 cm, against 65 to 80 cm for the female, for a relatively light weight for its size, varying between 35 and 45 kg.

The Borzoi is originally from Russia, a country where it was bred for hare racing as early as the 13th century. In the 15th century, it was used for fox, hare and wolf hunting due to its speed over short distances, excellent eyesight and power. If it almost disappeared during the Russian Revolution, it was saved thanks to its export a few years earlier to other countries in Europe and to the United States.

Irish Wolfhound

The Irish Wolfhound is a large, imposing, muscular and very elegant dog. Sweet, intelligent and calm, he is kind and affectionate with those close to him whom he defends and protects wonderfully. The Irish Wolfhound measures on average between 71 and 86 cm, for a weight varying between 40 and 55 kg.

This ancient breed of large dog was particularly appreciated by royal families from the Middle Ages to the 17th century and was therefore regularly offered as a present. The Irish Wolfhound almost disappeared thereafter, but its crossing in the 19th century with dog breeds such as the Deerhound, Great Dane and Borzoi kept the species alive. It was used for a long time for hunting wolves and bears, which justifies its name of Wolfhound, or wolf hunter.

English Mastiff

The English Mastiff is a large, very muscular, broad and particularly strong dog. Massive and of imposing build, he is very docile, affectionate and balanced. Patient and attentive to the needs of the elderly and children, he is protective and appreciates hugs, caresses and all kinds of signs of affection. On the other hand, he is suspicious of strangers and his dissuasive physique makes him a good guardian. The male Mastiff can reach a size of 70 to 85 cm, against 65 to 80 cm for the female. Its weight varies from 70 to 100 kg.

The Mastiff is originally from Great Britain. A distant descendant of the Tibetan Mastiffs, it was used as early as the 15th century as a circus beast in fights against dogs, wild animals and even bears because of its imposing build.

Why Do Cats Bite: All You Need to Know About Your Furry Friend’s Quirk

by user October 13, 2022
written by user

Many cat owners will confess to being bitten by their cats at times. A lot of people get bitten by their cats when they try to pet them. As painful as that might sound, it is a very common behaviour among cats. If you are wondering why do cats bite or if your cat can’t keep its teeth off you, this post is just for you. Let’s get started.

Why Do Cats Bite: All You Need to Know

What are the reasons that your cat might be biting you?

They are natural hunters

As part of the hunting sequence, which includes stalking the prey, chasing it, capturing or collecting it, biting it, killing it, and eating it.

Self defence

Within the first point, the reason why some cats bite while playing would be included, since the game is, in part, a “training” for real life. In other words, many of the behaviors of the game are part of the predatory sequence that later makes the survival of the cat possible if it lives in the wild. That is why most of the cat toys incite movement and hunting instincts. But of course, it is one thing to understand why cats bite and quite another to understand and accept that they do so when you pet them.

My cat bit me when I went to pet it, why did it happen?

By nature, cats are less sociable animals than other domestic species such as dogs. In general, the survival strategy of the cat (when it lives in the wild) is based on hunting alone for small prey such as mice, voles and other small animals. The cat is, essentially, a solitary animal that does not usually live in a group with other animals. And this trait is part of their nature. That does not mean that in certain contexts -especially urban- colonies of stray cats are created, since in these environments, being in a group can provide greater guarantees of survival. Be that as it may, all of us who have a cat at home know that it is an independent animal and that it appreciates that we respect its space.

However, it’s understandable for you to get frustrated when your cat repeatedly tries to bite you when you pet it. The veterinarian José Luis Guerrero explains that, in feline ethology (the science that studies the natural behavior of cats), one speaks of “caress-induced aggressiveness” to describe this reaction of rejection by the cat.

“The aggressiveness induced by strokes is one of the most disconcerting behaviors of some cats, they are cats that accept and ask for strokes and attention, but respond with a bite or a scratch when they consider that they have enough.”

To explain this behavior, Guerrero talks about feline psychology:

“Cats greet us in the same way that they greet each other: they rub their heads against our hands or our legs. This behavior is called allorubbing and it is a behavior indicative of friendship. But from there to believing that the cat is asking us to touch it, it goes into an abyss “.

Actually, just because a cat rubs itself against a person does not mean that it is asking to be petted. What happens is that humans misinterpret this approach and, consequently, the cat bites or scratches to avoid unwanted caress.

How do I stop my cat from biting?

The best way to keep your cat from biting you while petting is to understand that the cat’s needs for physical contact are very different from ours. Although, as a highly social species that we are, humans enjoy physical contact, we have already said that cats belong to a different species than ours and are, by nature, solitary animals. The ethologist Rosana Álvarez explains how to improve the relationship with our cats and gives us some interesting advice on how to stop a cat from biting:

“In general, cats do not like to be touched for a long time or to be looked directly in the eyes. This will decrease your sense of control of the environment. Therefore, it is best that our contact with them is brief so that they can recover and decide what to do. For example, it is better to say a simple “hello” looking at the cat’s face, than to tell the cat everything we have done during the morning. Or if we need to touch the cat, it is preferable that we let the cat approach us and briefly stroke his head or under his jaw, but stop immediately. “

Actually, and although we are frustrated by thinking “my cat bites me when I pet it”, the solution to the problem is as simple as trying to look at the world from the perspective of a cat and understand that our cat shows us that it loves us, but only in a different way. And just like you would respect the personal space of your loved one, do the same for your cat as well.

Can Dogs Eat Vanilla: Be Very Careful Before Letting Your Dog Near It

by user October 13, 2022
written by user

Vanilla is used in a wide variety of food items. As a result of that, it can be found in a wide variety of food items inside the house. So is it safe for your dogs? Can dogs eat vanilla? We will find out just that in this post, let’s get started.

Can Dogs Eat Vanilla: All You Need to Know

What is vanilla?

Vanilla is a spice derived from orchids of the genus of the same name. The vanilla orchid is a vine-like plant that produces trees. The part of the plant that is used is the pod, commonly called beans. Vanilla is a powerful ingredient, so there are a variety of forms and uses. 

How is vanilla consumed?

There are several main species that are used to make vanilla beans that are grown all over the world for cooking. They have subtle differences in flavors and aromas, and Malagasy beans are the most popular variety. After harvest, the beans are dried for a long time, so they can be used in a variety of ways. 

Can dogs eat vanilla?

If your dog wanted to smell a vanilla bean and eat it, it is unlikely to cause him any major problems other than perhaps a slightly upset tummy. However, if your dog went and drank some vanilla extract, it can create huge issues for the dog. 

What makes vanilla toxic to dogs?

Vanilla extract and scents are toxic to dogs due to their high alcohol content, and even drinking a serving from a bottle can pose a serious health risk, especially for smaller dogs. While cakes and other foods that use vanilla extract are unlikely to cause enough of a problem (usually only a few drops are used in baking), feeding your dog cakes and other sweet desserts is not something to encourage. High sugar can cause obesity, diabetes, and dental health problems. 

Can dogs eat vanilla flavoured cakes?

Cakes also often contain many rich ingredients, including dairy products, and this can cause an upset stomach. More seriously, artificial sweeteners like xylitol are often added, and this is very toxic to dogs, even in very small amounts. Also, chocolate and raisins are sometimes found in pastries and they are also toxic. If your dog eats a large quantity of pastries with vanilla extract or drinks it straight from the bottle, it can cause severe symptoms and, in extreme cases, can be fatal for your dog. 

What determines the toxicity of vanilla towards your dog?

The amount of alcohol in vanilla extract can be harmful to your dog even in small doses. The severity of toxicity can vary greatly depending on the species and amount of animal ingested and the size of the pet. Alcohol is very quickly absorbed into the canine system and can show effects in 30 to 60 minutes. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and life threatening. 

What are the symptoms of Vanilla Extract Poisoning in your dog?

If you suspect that your dog has ingested a product such as vanilla extract, you should visit a veterinary clinic. If your dog accidentally consumes vanilla extract, you must first remove the toxin from your dog’s inaccessible area and try to determine what he ate, how much, and for how long. With toxicity, the sooner dogs are treated and the more information you can provide your vet, the better. Even if you think your dog has only consumed a small dose of vanilla or has no symptoms, it’s always worth talking to your vet to make sure or double-check. In summary, although not all forms of vanilla are toxic to your dog, it is best to keep your beloved dog away from it. Things can go wrong very quickly.
