Effects of food poisoning in the dog.
Image : http://www.flickr.com
The effects of food poisoning on dogs can be fatal in some cases and even ordinary foods can be poisonous to dogs so pet owners must beware when feeding their dogs leftovers and tidbits. Regardless of the fact that even well known brands of pet food can cause food poisoning in dogs due to accidental contamination, there are also many foods that contain toxins that are harmful to dogs. For example, some sugarless candies contain xylitol which it has recently been discovered can give dogs food poisoning that can result in liver damage and even death. Chocolate is another everyday product that can have severe side effects in dogs.
There are many signs of food poisoning to look for in dogs such as lethargic movements and a complete loss of appetite. Yellow jaundiced eyes and gums can indicate liver damage and food poisoning in dogs. Vomiting can also be an indication that the dog ingested toxic substances. It can take a number of days before a dog shows any signs of illness but if you fear that they may have eaten poisoned food, take them to a veterinarian even if they seem well.
Preventing Food Poisoning in Dogs
In order to prevent the harmful effects of food poisoning in dogs, there are a number of steps and precautions that pet owners can take. Limiting the amount of raw meat and especially fish that your dog regularly eats can prevent infections caused by bacteria and parasites. Moldy and gone off food should never be given to a dog to save it from being wasted. Chocolate and sweets are not good for dogs because of certain ingredients but also because the fat content is too excessive for a dogs system. Excessive amounts of onion, garlic and other ingredients used in most kitchens can become quite toxic to a dog.
Handling a dogs food should be treated hygienically in the same way as human food should be. Dogs may have stronger stomachs in one sense but they are also sensitive to bacteria and infections. A dog cannot tell its owner if it experiences symptoms that indicate sickness and by the time the symptoms become obvious to the owners eyes, the dog may already have suffered the effects of food poisoning. The longer an illness is allowed to prolong, the more expensive the vets bills will be if the It is a serious illness.

Canine Hardware Hydro Bowl Medium, 5 Cup (Colors Vary)
Canine Hardware Hydro Bowl Medium, 5 Cup (Colors Vary) Review
Canine Hardware Hydro Bowl Medium, 5 Cup (Colors Vary) Describing this product as cheaply made and unendurable, as one reviewer has, is misleading and doesn't represent the norm for this product. I've been using the same two (2) Hydro Bowls for over six (6) years for two separate Search dogs and two other deployed Service Dogs, and have yet to wear them out!
If you're looking for the best packable dog bowl, look no further!
The Hydro Bowls I use have been folded and unfolded -- snapped and unsnapped -- hundreds of times, and have yet to fail their functions. They hold food and water without losing a drop as a result of poor craftsmanship. Thus based on my experience with Hydro Bowls, which is quite extensive given what we train dogs for and the abuse these bowls have taken, I find it hard to believe the single negative review.
Canine Hardware Hydro Bowl Medium, 5 Cup (Colors Vary) The versatile Hydro Bowl is waterproof, durable, and snaps closed into a compact triangle for easy storage. Snap it around a leash, backpack, bicycle, or a variety of other places for easy transport. The Hydro Bowl provides a convenient means of hydration for your dog.

Dog medicine revolution.
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Revolution Dog Medicine is a topical treatment. This means it is applied in liquid form to the skin of your dog. The liquid is oil based and quickly dries to leave a waterproof flea control product. On the skin of your dog, Revolution kills fleas, ticks, chewing lice and ear mites. This means it protects your dog against a variety of disease these external parasites can bring with them including sarcoptic mange and Lyme's disease.
Once the Revolution Medicine soaks into the skin, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and the surrounding tissue. This is where it gets to work preventing heartworm disease. It does this by destroying all larval stage heartworms in the blood. You would not even know they were there, but left untreated they can develop into disease causing adults that can even be fatal to their host. It is important to use Revolution for Dogs every month, as the active ingredient is only present in tiny quantities, powerful enough to destroy only juvenile heartworms.
Using only minimal quantities of one active ingredient (selmactin) keeps Revolution Heartworm Medicine one of the mildest products to choose from. It is one of few such treatments safe to use on both pregnant and nursing bitches, and can even be used on puppies from six weeks.
Revolution Dog Medicine, used every month will ensure heartworm disease never occurs, and that external parasites are totally under control. It is extremely mild with side effects being extremely rare. Less than 1% of dogs experience a mild stomach upset. But, whether you should use Revolution Dog Medicine really depends on your location.
The product should only really be used if heartworm prevention is something you must use. If you live in a heartworm free region choose instead Frontline or Advantage as these both offer extremely mild but effective flea control. Frontline Plus will sort out ticks and lice too. There is little point in spending extra money and over-medicating our pets if we do not need to. So many people compare Frontline Plus and Revolution but in actual fact they are completely different, as the former does not provide any heartworm prevention at all.
The need for heartworm medicine should be the deciding factor prior to buying Revolution Dog Medicine, as there are cheaper alternatives if prevention of heartworm is not a concern.

Recall of pet food - all hours of grooming.

In some countries of Asia, particularly in those poor sectors, pet owners especially those who have dogs would take for granted a balanced, delicious and nutritious meal for their pets. Sometimes, you get to see some of them feeding their hapless and poor pets with almost anything even inedible ones. They would come to think, "Hey, dogs eat anything, right? My pet dog would even rummage through trash bins to get some food." But in some developed countries, it's not the same. People see to it that they give all the best for their furry best friend and sometimes, there is what they call a pet food recall when they found out that the food that they are preparing for their pets is not even worth eaten by slugs and varmints.
Are these people over-reacting? No, they're not and they are just doing what every 100% true-blue pet lover can: to give the best of everything for their pets.
There are some concerned manufacturers in many different parts of the world are doing pet food recall. They did this when they found out that some of its pet food, particularly for dogs, that it is tainted with ingredients that have contributed to the many existing diseases like renal failure, kidney failure, arthritis and obesity, to name a few.
The contaminated ingredient is wheat gluten which they are not, at first, aware of. This ingredient was mixed to more than 90 brands of dog food sold as private label dog food through retailers over the world.
This only goes to show that not only pet lovers like you are very much concerned with your pet's health. These manufacturers have also made a very big important step in preserving pet health and welfare.
There are some reports given by manufacturers that contaminated wheat gluten is tainted with rat poison and additional laboratory tests showed the existence of melamine, which is used in the production of plastic products such as utensils, containers, seats and plastic bags. So, to show that they are concerned with all of these, they recalled all of their products and hope to look for other suppliers of raw materials for pet food.
That's why, it's important that you should also be very keen and observant on what you are giving to your pet. The most secured place to shop for pet foods that can give you a peace of mind and not blow your pet's mind into pieces is through the Internet. Not only you can find the most reliable and safe pet food products but you can also pick the most affordable pet food items.
You don't want to let bad things happen to your pet now, would you? Just be glad that there is what they call a pet food recall to ensure your pet's health. For now, just say that you and your pet are lucky souls to have known about these kinds of things and perhaps, it's also best that you should contact a veterinarian to help and Support in providing the best of everything for your pet.
