Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration. The Armant The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special. The Atlas Terrier The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days. Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie It Is Impossible Not to Love Them Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet. |

Pet Tips
Regular pet checkupsRegular monitoring and "examinations" of your pet will help to give you a better idea of your animal's overall health and prove to be good "quality" time for both of you. One day this may help you catch a problem in the early phases and hopefully before it becomes life threatening.The list of things to check could be long and never ending but below we've taken the time to list a few of the most basic, easy to read signs of being "off color". In addition to the norm, these steps may help you in deciding your pet's actual state of health. YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR PET FOR: 1)Any build up in the tooth area. Bad breath- may suggest gingivitis or other tooth/gum problems. Brush your pets teeth regularly. 2)Clean ears. Is there any wax build up, or are there any ticks, mites or other parasites inside? Is a bad odor present? 3)Are your pets eyes discolored or even irritated? Is extensive matter present? 4)A “greasy" coat? Is your pets skin grey white or red and irritated? Do you see evidence of fleas or other parasites? Is the smell of the animals coat on your hands, after checking it with your fingers, fishy, rank or offensive? A doggy odor, while common, is a sign of a low level of health. If your answers to many of the above checks are "YES", then you should start a plan which involves some type of action to discontinue this cycle of bad health. First and foremost, diet is always the best place to start. Always consult with your veterinarian and/or check into possible alternative therapies. In the end, your pet's overall health is your responsibility, so these early warning signs should not be overlooked. A clean bill of health is one of the most valuable gifts you can give to your pets- second only to your love and attention. Share this article on Regular pet checkups with friends.
