Although we love our dogs, we don’t always love how they smell. If you know or suspect that your canine companion has detected some unpleasant odors, Louise Louis of http://www.ToyBreeds.com offers you some tips on how to restore a fragrant home (and dog).

1. Dry it well after removing the bad smell.

Many dogs love to swim in whatever water is available. Use towels or a hair dryer on the lowest setting until completely dry.

If you need more than water to clean it, try Listerine or another brand of mouthwash. Put some on a cloth and clean your dog’s fur, then rinse or shampoo. If that doesn’t work, add a little baking soda to the mix.

2. Look for sticky objects in your coat.

Many dogs get feces or other smelly things stuck in their fur. Especially check its paws and around its anus. It’s a good idea to shave your hair in circles around the anus to minimize that possibility.

3. If he has bad breath, give him Greenies.

These are one of the best products for dogs and are available at any pet store. If your dog is otherwise healthy and has only dog ​​breath, it will do the trick.

4. Bathe him regularly, especially if he spends a lot of time outdoors.

Use a mild shampoo made for dogs and wash it off about every six weeks or so. Follow up with a good conditioner or make yours with a little baking soda in warm water.

5. Make sure your diet is not the problem.

Feed him a premium, balanced dog food that smells good to you and make sure your dog food has not spoiled or developed mold. Dog food packaging must indicate its expiration date. Always check in the store before buying it.

6. Check your ears.

Ear infections are a common cause of bad odors. Make sure there are no secretions, bad smells or strange colors or insects in your ears. Infections must be treated by a veterinarian immediately.

7. Clean your house and your belongings.

Dog odors can linger on carpets. You should use an enzyme cleaner like Nature’s Miracle if you have a potty accident.

To restore a pleasant smell to your home, sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and leave it overnight before vacuuming in the morning. You can also use some baking soda with your laundry power when you wash your bedding and clothes. Many people like to put a little white vinegar in their rinse water.

P.S. Older dogs and non-neutered males tend to smell louder.

It’s almost finished. Shopping, packaging, cooking and all the other activities we do to prepare for Christmas. It’s almost over, except for the memories we have each year.

Looking back, I never realized what a unique family we were and how different we celebrate the holidays.

When babies were little, our family’s Christmases were a riot. We never knew where we were going to find the tree. One year he was in the baby’s playpen and the next year we found him hanging from the lamp, upside down.

We could never have a pretty tree. We couldn’t even hang icicles because Lacie ate them, and Mitch thought the Christmas tree balls were for tossing. But it was our tree and no one seemed to care what it looked like as long as there were many gifts around it.

It was Christmas 1959 (the year before Mitch was born) that Santa came to our house on Christmas morning for the last time. That was the year I woke up everyone in the house at two in the morning to see what Santa had brought. Jo said she would have to come to our house on Christmas Eve from now on so we could all get some sleep. Jo had very good connections with Santa. Because of me, Santa had to make two trips a year!

Our family, like most others, had a family Christmas party every year. And we still do. When I was little, and both groups of my grandparents were still alive, we had two Christmas parties. Now that Life was worth living! One would be at Nanny’s and the other at Mam Maw’s, until she started renting the Ward 4 Parish Barn so we wouldn’t trash her house at Christmas.

Mam Maw was more of a socialite, I guess you could say, than Nanny, and she didn’t want to have to clean up after us. I remember very few Christmases where we had the party at Mam Maw’s house (probably due to my narcolepsy), but Barn Ward 4 worked very well.

Mam Maw and Pap Paw’s house had a completely different atmosphere than Nanny’s. Nanny and Paw Paw lived in the country on a farm and Mam Maw and Pap Paw lived in the city of Sulfur, and we were actually allowed to enter Mam Maw’s house through the front door.

He had a beautiful house, with statues of people and cats around his living room and a shiny and elegant black panther that always adorned his mantle. (I could never understand why she would be a fan of WO’s Boston Panthers.)

One of his most prized possessions was a statue of a Siamese cat that took pride of place by his fireplace. We all thought it was ugly and called it “Mam Maw’s Damn Cat.” After his death, it became a Christmas tradition to pass the Damned Cat. However, when it was Lacie’s turn, we never saw the Damn Cat again, until last year. She broke it or someone did, but she’s with me for a while. I always wanted the panther, but the only thing that happened was that Damn Cat.

Almost every member of the family attended our wonderful Christmas parties, even people we had not seen in years and years. And sometimes people who we didn’t know at all, but who we met for the first time.

Christmas 2010, we had the party at my mother’s house. Everyone has called her Big Mama since she started having grandchildren, except me, of course. (To me, she will always be Jo, and she used to have a Big Daddy, but she died at our Christmas party in 2003 that we had at my brother’s house.)

We all loved Big Daddy very much. He was a rare and special person, something like Keno. (Their names were even the same, Known.) Christmas has never been the same for me since that horrible holiday. There are certain events that not even time can heal … Oh, how I hate death.

Anyway, at the 2010 Christmas party, all the guests in Jo’s “great room” were enjoying my grandson, Cullen, who was then about four months old. Finally, it was Jo’s turn to hug him and Mr. Cliff’s friend, Ann, whom we had just met, asked; “What her name?” Well, Jo looked at the baby and then at Ann, then nervously glanced at everyone else in the room (they only offered teasing glances) before finally saying, “I don’t know!”

As the silence thickened, Jo burst into laughter followed closely by the crowded room. Imagine not knowing the name of your great-grandson! When the laughter began to fade, Jo said, “Well, he doesn’t come very often.” Then the laughter started again.

Miss Ann was determined to get a name for this cute lump. A short time later, my niece, Kalee was holding the baby, walking around showing her beautiful blue eyes and that dimple on her right cheek. As they passed Miss Ann’s chair, they asked her, “What’s your name?” Kalee looked nervously at Cullen and replied, “I don’t know!” Laughter again, no one seemed to know my grandson’s name!

But from now on, we’ll certainly know Cullen’s name, in case anyone asks. Cullen and his older brother Brendan, who was four, spent Christmas Eve with me, so their mother (my daughter … umm … uhh … oh yeah, Carrie) could wrap presents and get ready for Santa. That was in 2010, this is 2014/15 and we will have the party at my new Hackberry House.

In 2011, the party was held on Christmas Eve at Jeffrie’s house. It is amazing that no matter what difficult life paths my family members have chosen, that warm family bond remains. There was time to talk about the “good times” and remember the blessed elders who have left this life. Keno believes that grandparents should never be allowed to die. I also.

My wonderful grandparents, in heaven; please know how much I miss you. And by now, you know how much you’ve always meant to me. I love you, my wonderful grandparents.

Normally, we bring a white elephant gift and play that Christmas game where everyone draws a number and then, in numerical order, each one chooses a gift from under the tree; or steals a gift from someone that he must return to pick up from under the tree.

My sister, Jeffrie, decided that she would host the only Christmas party we would have in 2011. While we were deciding which dish who would bring, I reminded her to include the “White Elephant” information. She said, “We’re not doing the White Elephant thing this year.” “Oh, but we are,” I replied quickly. Miss Jeffrie was unwilling to alter that family tradition!

I can’t imagine why he wanted to skip “The Game”, but he got over it. And we opened our gifts with unbridled greed, trading with whoever was willing and robbing those who weren’t. And then we ate (and ate) until our clothes were too tight and we all felt sleepy.

Oh! I almost forget it! The party ended with a projection of images from our childhood! Jeffrie had taken all the old 8mm films from our childhood, digitized them, and placed them on discs that he handed out to each member of the family.

How wonderful !! What memories, our lives and our times. My heart was touched. The wonderful memories were renewed in high definition and were indelibly replaced in my mental library.

And Lacie? He forgot to bring “That Damn Cat” that year … But he brought it in this year and I have it! Or should I say I had it down to the motions. I’ve had to move three times lately and “That Damn Cat” ended up at my brothers’ house.

Be at peace and prosper,

As Oyea Kendali was told

Here are some simple ways to prevent health problems for your dog. Young Living essential oil products are natural ways to promote health, naturally prevent pests, and help stop tooth decay. Please note that not all essential oil brands are processed to Young Living standards, and if you use other brands, you may not receive the benefits and may be causing harm to your pet.

I am a dog breeder and I can test essential oils and then see the results. I have attended many classes, read numerous books, listened to countless podcasts on essential oils. I have had the pleasure of speaking with some holistic vets who use essential oils. I tried the suggested apps and found out first-hand if the remedies are good solutions.

These solutions contain many benefits without the expensive veterinary costs or side effects of artificial products. These are some of the Young Living products that I have tried. The results have exceeded my expectations. One huge benefit is that I am no longer applying unnecessary poisons to my dogs or adsorbing the poisons myself.

Purification is an essential oil blend made by Young Living and is wonderful for cleaning dogs’ ears. Put a drop of purification in the palm of your hand, rub the end of a cotton swab into the drop, and then wipe your dog’s ear. Repeat the process with a new end of a cotton swab for the other ear. Repeat every day until the swab is free of residue. Kill ear mites instantly. Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM has conducted tests and witnessed the death of the ear mites when she applied the purification on the microscope slide. Diffused or sprayed purification on your bedding kills pests, disinfects, and keeps your home bug-free without using harmful chemicals.

Lavender is a natural solution for tears. Once a day, put a drop in the palm of your hand and then use your index finger to apply the drop by rubbing your finger over the upper bridge of your dog’s nose just below his eyes. Lavender unblocks the eye ducts and kills bacteria caused by tearing.

I have a couple of dogs with eye injuries from hunting, interacting with other pets, or other issues. Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM told me about a dog who was a last chance candidate with an eye problem. He used lavender mixed with water and was having success in solving the eye problem. I mixed a solution of 8 drops of lavender in 8 ounces of steam distilled water and a packet of usp grade sodium chloride / baking soda. The package is ½ tsp. Usp grade sodium chloride / sodium bicarbonate can be purchased at Walgreen’s or online; It is used for the Neti Pot sinus rinse. It is an emulsifier and prevents the solution from separating as oil and water do not mix. The solution should be shaken each time before use if you do not use an emulsifier. The mixture is similar to eye wash solutions used on humans. Put the mixture in a glass spray bottle. Spray the solution 2-3 times on the affected eye once a day and watch the healing begin.

Curly, our English Springer’s eye was extremely large due to a hunting accident that occurred in 2006 at the age of 8. The eye was getting bigger and looked like it was about to explode. He was sure he would need surgery and could lose his eye. I started using the solution and her eye returned to its normal size and the cataract is getting smaller. That is incredible.

This solution repels pests, alleviates skin problems and softens the coat. It also soothes your muscles. Mix 1 drop of lavender and 1 drop of peppermint in 1 ounce of steam distilled water. Next, add one drop of Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base as an emulsifier to 6 ounces of water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution weekly or as needed and then massage your dog’s spine with your fingers. Your dog will love this routine.

Thieves, another blend made by Young Living, is great for helping prevent tooth decay. In a 4-ounce glass spray bottle, I mix 2 drops of thieves with 1 ounce of steam distilled water. I use the solution every night to spray my dog’s gums and upper teeth. Raise the upper lip on either side of your dog’s mouth and spray the solution over the teeth. Thieves kill the bacteria that cause cavities. Thieves strengthens your dog’s immune system, it is a natural antibiotic. Antibiotics made from drugs kill both good and bad bacteria. You will need to restore the good bacteria with probiotics like Life 5, yogurt, kefir, etc. if you use artificial antibiotics. The Thieves Solution is a cheaper, easier, and healthier method of brushing your teeth daily or taking your dog to the vet for the recommended 6-month dental cleaning.

Get started by reading the labels and then searching for the ingredients on your computer in the browser’s search bar. I use Young Living Animal Scent Shampoo to bathe my animals. It has essential oils that clean and repel pests without the harmful side effects of other pet shampoos. It does not contain any cancer-causing ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate found in most shampoos. It can be used as needed and not just once every 30 days as directed in most pet shampoos.

Another great Young Living product is Animal Scent Ointment. I’ve been using it to heal wounds. Hunting dogs receive nicks and cuts when hunting. I apply to her sores and her wounds heal faster. It is wonderful to apply after dew claw removal or tail docking. Speeds up the healing process and prevents infections. I apply the pomade on my cuticles at night as I need to wash my hands frequently; the ointment heals my dry hands faster than the other products I have used in the past. Also, there are no addicts.

Another featured product is Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner. I’ve been using it to clean my kennels. Mix 30 oz. water to 1 oz. Household cleaner thieves in a spray bottle and spray on the kennel. It kills germs, bacteria and is safe for dogs even if they lick their paws. I don’t need to take away their water or food, thieves is a natural product that is safe to ingest. I don’t need to rinse it or let it air dry. It doesn’t burn my lungs or irritate my skin. I take the dog out while spraying the solution; It has cinnamon in it and can be irritating to the eyes while the mist sets, which only takes a few seconds.

The author offers information and opinions, not as a substitute for professional medical treatment, diagnosis or prevention. Consulting a veterinarian trained in the use of essential oils is recommended before taking any home remedy or supplement or after any treatment suggested by anyone. Your veterinarian can advise you on what is considered safe and effective for your animal’s unique needs or diagnose your animal’s particular medical history.

The leopard tortoise is one of the most popular types of tortoise to have as a pet, primarily because of its attractiveness due to the patterns on its shell, from which it gets its name in the first place. The pattern becomes less pronounced as the tortoise ages, but the adults still look pretty good, even if they are not as conspicuous as the young.

These are large tortoises and there are very few larger species that are commonly kept as pets. This can create some problems, since obviously not everyone has room for one of these animals in their garden. They also don’t hibernate, so if you live in an area that is cold during the winter, you will need enough space to keep your pet indoors for a few months out of the year.

Once you’ve gotten over the temperature issue, most of your requirements in an outdoor enclosure aren’t too difficult to meet, but a common obstacle is hiding. At night or during bad weather, the turtle will retreat to the fur box to sleep or take shelter, and it needs to be warmed, insulated, and not let in any light. For an adult leopard tortoise, one of the best options is to convert a garden shed, although if this is done right and is large enough, you could also house your tortoise in this shed for the winter.

It goes without saying that buying one or more leopard tortoises is a serious undertaking. For starters, your new pet might outlive you, and many people will survive for more than 70 years. It is also not a cheap pet. In reality, buying one is not too expensive, although they obviously cost a lot more than what a hamster would cost. The main costs come from their care, especially for people who live in colder climates. Prices for UVB lamps, a safe heat source, insulation for the leather box, and the energy to make use of all of these things can add up very quickly and make owning one of these animals prohibitively expensive for many people.

This all sounds pretty negative, but if you have the space and the money, owning a leopard tortoise can be surprisingly rewarding. They are more entertaining than you think and they have clear personalities. They will even become noticeably more affectionate towards their owner than they are towards strangers, making it possible to bond with one of these creatures, which can only be a good thing in a lifelong companion! If you’ve never had a turtle before, then one of these is a good option, but first you need to be sure that it’s ready and has everything you need.

Striving to get rid of a flea infestation on a kitten at home requires patience as with every flea found on the animal. These insects are blood-sucking pests that result in the pathophysiological state of the cat creating discomfort, resulting in anemia in the later stage.

The kitten’s health would be severely compromised resulting in later stage anemia, an itchy sensation caused by frequent bites and scratches, allergic reactions to flea saliva causing rashes and even transmitting other parasites such as the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum when ingested. Furthermore, cat fleas have been found to carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease.

Manufacturers have been advertising products such as Advantage, Front Line, and Revolution. But are they really safe? No. They can only be used for older cats, but NOT for kittens. These chemicals are not recommended for kittens up to 8 weeks of age.

Also be careful about using essential oils on kittens. They do not metabolize essential oils efficiently and their use can cause toxicity symptoms. This is because kittens, especially very young ones, have not yet fully functional liver, kidneys, and immune systems. Misuse of these harmful products can very well kill them on the spot.

The safest way to treat feline fleas for a kitten at a very young age is to bathe it with warm water and Dawn dish soap. Ajax, on the other hand, has the same ingredient as Dawn and can be an option as well. Well I think all soaps can as they tend to break the surface tension of the water and fleas sink to the bottom and drown.

Using the sink or tub, fill it with warm water and test the temperature. Soak kitten up to its neck and wet its face and head with a facial cleanser. Then take it out and place it on a towel. Gently massage the detergent all over your body, including the head, being careful not to get soap in your eyes. Put it back in the water for a few minutes, preventing it from getting cold.

Then manually remove the remaining fleas while the kitten is still wet after its bath. Using a flea comb, dab some petroleum jelly at the base of the comb’s teeth to prevent fleas from escaping from the comb as they pass it all over your body. You can have a very hot cup of water ready to drop the fleas when you catch them, or put the captured fleas on the sticky side of a tape.

In addition, the best advice for treating kitten fleas is to also treat the mother cat with a first-rate flea treatment, such as Revolution, Advantage or Frontline, provided you have the consent of your veterinarian to do so. According to the supplied literature, these parasiticidal products are topical medications that are applied to the cat’s skin and are safe for use in pregnant or lactating cats. In addition to fleas, it is also used to treat and prevent infestation by ear mites, sarcoptic mange, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworms.

The word ferret has its origin in Latin and is translated as pilferer. With that bit of knowledge, it should come as no surprise that ferrets like to steal things and hoard them.

My ferrets take whatever they can drag. I’ve seen my one-pound little girl try to remove the sterilized bone from the dog; the bone weighs more than her. (The only reason she was unsuccessful is that the dog saw her dragging the bone across the room and intervened.) They have appropriated my shoes, my wristband, and stuffed toys. They have snatched markers, balls and plates of food. They have stolen computer mice, tissues and socks. They have removed apples, potatoes and staple removers. If they can hack an article, they will.

So after my ferrets acquire an object of desire, they treasure it. Almost all things stolen end up in the same place. After cleaning, they may relocate your stash, but there is usually only one cache at a time. I found the hiding place under his cage. Once the hiding place was behind the television and once they put everything inside one of my husband’s speakers. Currently, my babies like to relocate objects inside their Tower of Fun, a tube that rotates up and down. The furry ones like to slide down the slopes of the Tower of Fun, so it’s a bit strange that they block their fun gliding route with toys. Yet they do.

Why?

As I do not speak ferret, and my ferrets do not speak human, I can only guess based on their natural behaviors in the wild. Polecats (from whom our domestic ferrets have been domesticated) are carnivores. They are hunters. They kill things smaller than themselves (usually smaller, but I’ve seen videos of ferrets killing things bigger than themselves). So a ferret kills a mouse and eats it. When it’s ready, it will hide the leftovers. If a ferret kills an animal that is too big to eat in one sitting, the ferret will hide the carcass to finish later. And, in all these cases, ferrets try to prevent other animals from obtaining their loot.

I think that’s probably the best explanation for why ferrets steal, but I have another thought. I frequently find sleeping ferrets among their stolen treasures. Usually when they sleep in their stash, the items are soft and squishy, ​​like little stuffed toys and other fluffy things. So my second hypothesis is that ferrets like to build comfortable beds.

Supplements for dogs and cats allow all types of pet owners to do the best for their furry friends. In addition to providing endless love, food, and safe haven, there is so much more you can do for your dogs and cats to keep them happy and healthy. Nutritional supplements for dogs and cats can rejuvenate their health, increase their life expectancy, and stimulate overall vitality.

If you are not currently using nutritional supplements for dogs and cats in your life, you may wonder why you need them …

Extra nutrition: Even the most advanced pet food cannot provide your pet with all the nutrition it needs.

Advanced nutrients: Also, many nutritional supplements lose their effectiveness in the form of pet food. Giving your pet advanced nutrition in supplement form will restore his body from the inside out.

Look for a nutritional supplement for dogs and pets that contains ingredients that help promote longevity and well-being.

– DMAE should be sought in nutritional supplements for dogs and cats. DMAE elevates mood, improves memory, and increases physical energy, all important to a pet’s health.

– L-Carnitine is another key ingredient that helps the cells of all animals to better metabolize fats for faster energy. It has also been clinically shown to increase shelf life.

If you’re unsure whether nutritional supplements are right for your pet, take a look at this amazing story … Luna was a tiny, underweight 1.7-pound kitten when she was first given to a foster owner. She was so small that she could not be placed for regular adoption. Her foster owner tried to help her gain weight and improve her health, but the little creature was still struggling. He gained some weight slowly, but then developed a bloated belly. The vet couldn’t explain it and theorized that little Luna had multiple birth defects. Her adoptive owner decided to keep her because she was still too ill to give her up for adoption.

Further consultations with the vet revealed that poor Luna had extra veins in her liver, as well as a large vein through her heart, which was causing her developmental problems. His liver enzymes were 7 times what they should have been, his kidneys were malfunctioning, he vomited frequently, and he was unable to eat normal foods. The vet told the owner that Luna didn’t have long to live.

Her owner realized that she had a nutritional supplement at home that could help. He decided to give it a try. He administered a powerful nutritional supplement with metabolic compounds to Luna twice a week, and within a short period of time Luna was eating normal cat food and the vomiting had stopped. A follow-up appointment revealed that his liver enzymes had dropped by almost half and that his kidney function had returned to normal.

If this story is inspiring, imagine what a quality pet supplement can do for your furry family member. Selecting the right supplement is key. Look for the aforementioned ingredients in any supplement you choose to make sure it will provide your pet with real benefits.

Supplements for dogs and cats are not a luxury. They are an essential part of keeping your pet healthy and active for many years.

The Afghan Hound breed is a very distinctive looking dog, and once seen, you wouldn’t mistake them for another breed. Their height is substantially 24 to 29 inches and they should weigh between 44 and 59 pounds. Although their coat can be any color, white markings are discouraged, especially in the head region. There are many Afghan dogs that have facial hair similar to the Manchu mustache, which are known as ‘mandarins’. Another fairly common feature is hair that resembles a black mask. With white or almost white afghans, but if they show red or black islands in the coat, they are not acceptable as this is indicative of impure breeding. Other distinguishing characteristics of the Afghan Hound are a long head with the hair shortening, slightly, as it progresses from the front to the rear of the dog. There is also a small ring at the end of the tail that is unique to this breed.

History: The Afghan Hound, as its name suggests, came from Afghanistan and was introduced to Britain in the 1920s. It is believed, through genetic testing, that the original Afghans, known as observation dogs in Afghanistan, had several genetic markers in common with wolves, making them close descendants of the original dog. Although modern hounds were selectively bred, from those that were originally brought in. The exceptional beauty of these dogs has made them very popular as show dogs, and they are accredited by major dog clubs throughout the English-speaking world. The Afghan hounds were very important from the beginning and formed an important breed in the early dog ​​shows and in the early days of the UK dog club.

Temperament. The Afghan tends to integrate well at home, with the family, but can be distant, almost snobbish. He tends to get along quite well with other animals in the house, but when he is outside he likes to chase small animals. He was originally bred for hunting and when outdoors he can’t help but go back to the guy. He is an intelligent dog and sometimes ignores orders, especially when it comes from someone who is not his usual guide, it is more a case where they do not see any reason to obey, it is not a deliberate disobedience. Due to this trait, they have probably often been described as feline in their attitude. They also have a bit of a tendency to destruction and vandalism when bored.

Health Issues: The Afghan Hound is known to suffer from necrotic myelopathy, but this is rare. The only real health problem is that they can suffer from cataracts.

Grooming: Given its magnificent coat and length of coat, grooming is obviously important for the Afghan Hound. Leaving them unbrushed for too long will make the task much more difficult when you brush them. It is best to brush them every other day. While home grooming is always possible, if you want your pet to look its best, take it to a trusted dog salon to have it trimmed.

Living conditions: While the Afghan Hound breed was originally a hunter and lived outdoors, it was in a temperate climate. Their hair is long and luxurious, but they seem to prefer the heat, rather than just not too cold. They really aren’t suitable for outdoor living, and I’m sure you’ll quickly notice how they like a nice, warm, soft bed.

Simply put, an “Underfoot” dog is a small breed of dog that can be seriously injured if stepped on.

Some of the most popular small breeds include the Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Miniature Poodle, Maltese, Shih Tzu, and the ever-popular Yorkshire Terrier, known as the Yorkie.

There is a high demand for not only small breeds, but also small dogs that are on the lower end of the accepted weight scale. The AKC, the largest and most respected dog club organization in the United States, lists an accepted weight range.

Still, thousands of people want to have a dog that is at the bottom of that accepted size or even below it.

What these owners or potential owners do not realize is that having a very small dog amounts to a great responsibility. Sadly, many owners have obtained a small breed dog only to seriously injure that dog by accident.

People must realize that having a dog, especially a small one, is a lot like having a baby. The dog will be an “Underfoot” dog. You must be constantly aware of where the dog is. If you trip over or step on one of these dog breeds, you won’t just say “opps!”, You will most likely take your Pom, Chi, Yorkie, or other dog to the animal hospital.

These breeds can suffer limb fractures, even if they don’t put their full weight on the ground. One element that makes these small dog breeds so prone to being under your feet is that they are known to be very loyal, very personable, and follow their owner around the house, like a shadow.

People tend to be busy, they can walk around the house while talking on the phone, cleaning a room, carrying laundry or something else. The dog will be just below the feet, and this is when it only takes a fraction of a second for the dog to be accidentally stepped on.

Recovery from broken limbs takes a long time. The dog will be quite immobilized. Sometimes the bones do not heal well and the dog may limp for the rest of its life. Sadly, some dogs die from being stepped on.

In addition to having to be aware of where your dog is at all times, so that it does not step on it, you also have to bear in mind that sitting on a small breed dog can be fatal for the dog. If you’re not looking and your 4-pound Yorkie is laying on the corner of your couch and you sit down, this can be devastating.

These small dogs can be injured by jumping off furniture, pulling on a leash, and more.

Take the time to learn about a breed of dog before bringing one into your home. Toy dogs are wonderful companions. However, to make sure your new fluffy friend lives a long, happy, and safe life, take a little time to learn how to care for him and how to keep him out of harm’s way.
