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
CPR For DogsEveryone who has ever attended a CPR class should be familiar with the basics of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The first thing you check is that the patient has a clear airway, next you check to see if your patient is breathing, check the patient for a heartbeat and, if the patient wakes up while you are performing the process, be careful that you don't get bitten by the patient you are trying to help.The American Red Cross has been teaching people in CPR for pets for quite some time now and even offers classes that include all manner of first aid, including mouth-to-snout resuscitation. Yes, you did read that correctly; mouth-to-snout (for animals). The procedure is very similar to the traditional mouth-to-mouth resuscitation you would perform on humans, the main difference being that the person performing the procedure will close the dog's mouth and provide breaths into the dog's nose. The process sounds humorous in theory at first, but it does work and knowing how to perform mouth-to-snout resuscitation on your pet could very well save its life.
The concept of pet CPR is quickly gaining a vast amount of notoriety and is beginning to be taught by organizations throughout the country that formerly provided traditional CPR training and certification. If you or someone you know is interested in taking these classes, you can contact your local Red Cross.
