Puppy Teething Tips

July 28, 2015

Contrary to popular belief, puppies don't teeth like humans. While they do lose their 'baby teeth' around 3-9 months old, the actual destructive chewing (also known as 'puppy teething') is usually due to behavioural issues, not the teething itself. These behavioural issues need to be dealt with early. 

Designate Teeth-Free Zones
Don't tempt your puppy with yummy furniture and shoes! Block your puppy's access to areas that contain chewable items, then work on training your puppy to not chew at all.

Use Doggy Chew Toys
Introduce age-appropriate chew toys early and save your precious household items. Chew toys specifically designed for puppies tend to be smaller and softer than toys made for adults, because puppy teeth are more fragile. These toys should still be durable enough to handle aggressive chewing. When playing with your puppy, remove any destroyed chew toys immediately to prevent accidents.

Incorporate Healthy Eating
Caring for a teething puppy requires also caring for the puppy's teeth. Make sure your puppy is eating a properly balanced diet, including vitamins and minerals such as calcium. This will allow their new permanent teeth to develop normally. 

Remember, having two teeth crowded into a space meant for one can cause discomfort and possibly bring out some destructive tendencies in your puppy.

Dog Breed of the Month - Afghan Hound

June 29, 2017
This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Summer Heat Warnings

June 12, 2017
Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.

Exercise Essentials

May 31, 2017
A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.
