The Aryan Molossus
Once 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

What Defines the Ideal Dog Products?

Thanks to the increasing popularity of dog products, the industry has grown to become a flourishing one with so many offers, that making a decision for one or another product is not always easy. Before opting for any of the many pet supplies, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian, so that you can make lucid and wise investments that will benefit both you and your dog.

Feeding and Water
Quite obviously, dog food is among the most important investments that you will continuously make throughout the life of your pet. Dog food should be adequate to the size and age of your pet, should consist of good quality ingredients and it should be balanced.

Bowls are just as important as food is. The ideal bowl is able to hold a day’s worth food or water; it is fairly heavy, tip and slip-resistant. A stainless steel bowl with a rubber bottom cannot be easily pushed around or chewed on, and it is easy to keep clean.

Sleep and Rest
Dog beds are popular dog products and are available in a great variety of colors, sizes and materials. The ideal choice of bed is comfortable, durable, and easy to clean. Dog beds should also conserve heat and resist moisture.

Dog houses are meant to keep your pet safe from weather changes and ensure a nice and warm place to rest. Ideally, they are waterproof and are easy to maintain clean.

Walk and Play Time
Leashes are among the dog products that play an important life in the everyday routine of your dog. Walk and exercise are both vital for the overall health of your pet. A sturdy, good quality leash, with a safe metal clip that can be securely fastened to the collar is vital if you wish to avoid unpleasant events during time spent outdoors with your animal companion.

Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs and, in order to save your furniture or slippers from falling into useless pieces, buy easily washable, durable and safe chew toys, large enough not be swallowed.

Grooming Products
Brushing your dog daily is a good way to avoid the many unpleasant effects of shedding. Brushes should be adequate to the coat type of your pet. For instance, while a medium-coated dog requires a firm bristle brush, a long-haired one needs a soft brush for proper coat care. Nail trimmers are essential dog products that should be attentively chosen: comfortable handles are a must, but durability and ease of use are just as important.

Along with the already listed products, countless many others are available for owners who strive for the well-being and the health of their pets. Healthcare products, travel products and treats are just some of these. Because of the ever endangering outdoor exposure, flea and tick medication should always be somewhere handy.

Feel free to browse through the immense variety of dog products, but in every decision you take, make your dog’s health and comfort your number one priority!
