If you make your own recipes don't include onion. That is because onion can damage animals' red blood cells, causing a serious blood disorder. Dr. Dana Kellerman, a board-certified veterinary doctor of animal internal medicine at Pittsburgh Veterinary Internal Medicine, confirms that onion, even in small amounts, may cause hemolytic anemia and should never be given to dogs or cats. Garlic, however, has not posed a problem, the animal internist says.

Another serious mismatch is Dalmatians and liver. They can't digest it properly, so give polka-dot pups another type of treat.

Many common foods are actually harmful or even fatal to dogs.

Dogs can't digest most vegetables (carrots, green beans, lettuce, potatoes or yams) and potato peels are very dangerous to them.

Please see : Fatal to dogs for more info.

 

Real food for dogs



Pooch Pool Plunge in Fort Collins, Colorado

I Wish we had something like this in this country!

"Dogs take over the pool at the 4th annual Pooch Plunge held in Fort Collins, Colorado. City Park pool is open for the summer season and then closes for the rest of the season. Before the pool is drained our four-legged friends get to enjoy the pool. This August 19th - 20th, from 4pm to 5:30pm you could bring your pooch to the pool. $5 pre-sale, and $7 at the gate"
Smart dog!!!!

Watch how this dog gets the ball without getting in to the water!

How did they do that?!

This video is from a TV show where people said, "Hey, I have talent!" and judges would decide if they did or did not. When this couple did their act, there was no question. Everyone was floored. The video is about two minutes and includes some snappy music. Also, it will look much clearer if you don't run it full screen. The bigger the picture the fuzzier it will look. They put on an incredible act.

It's mine!!!
