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
Airplane Safety Concerns with petsThere are safety concerns for all dogs traveling by airplane, whether in the cabin or as cargo. Pay close attention to the cautions listed below, but also be careful when bringing your dog in and out of the airport. If there is no other option for your travel plans than putting your dog in cargo, there are ways to minimize risk:• Use a recognized air-shipping service. • Use a USDA-approved crate that is large enough for your dog to stand up and turn around in. • Freeze water in a bowl that is attached to the inside of the metal mesh at the front of the crate. It will prevent spillage when the crate is being loaded but be melted by the time your dog is thirsty. • Tape a cloth bag with one meal’s worth of dog food to the front of the crate in case there is an unexpected delay. • Never lock the crate. Close it securely so airline staff can open it in case of an emergency. • Affix Live Animal stickers to each side of the crate. • Pen arrows on the sides indicating which side is up. This may seem unnecessary but when the airline is being loaded, everything looks like baggage to the workers. • Never tranquilize your dog; it may cause breathing problems. • Line the bottom of the crate with a cozy towel or blanket to soak up any accidents and to keep your dog comfortable. • Provide one chewy or fuzzy toy that has no sharp edges or rips. • Write your dog’s name on the front of the crate so the staff can call your dog by his name. • Affix the address and phone number of your destination to the crate. • The ASPCA recommends taping a photo of your dog to the crate in case he is separated from it. Carry an extra photo of your dog with you on the airplane. • Tell anyone and everyone that you can that your dog is on the plane: ticket and boarding agents, pilots, and stewards. • Wait to board the plane until you see your dog being boarded and the cargo hatch closed. • Always book a direct flight. • During warm weather, travel in the evening or early morning.
