The Chinese Crested Enjoys Human Companionship

They are comical dogs that like to please their owners. When they find something that amuses you, they are likely to do it again and again to get your attention. The Chinese Crested dogs are said to be "cat-like" and enjoy sitting in high places like on the back of the couch or arm of a chair.

Activity level is medium to high, yet, they enjoy quiet times with their family and do well in apartment living. The Chinese Crested dogs learn quickly and do well in various performance activities like Agility, Obedience, Fly Ball, and Lure Coursing.

Grooming is easier because they are hairless, however, sure sure to guard against sun burn or extreme cold temperatures. The Powderpuff can be kept in full coat with a little brushing every day or clipped short for an easy care companion. They are good companions for people with allergies as you most likely will not be allergic to this dog breed. Pictured below is the hairless variety. (source: AKC)

    How to Brush Your Dog's Teeth

    Puppy breath is "sweet smelling" to most puppy lovers. The same cannot be said for dog breath. In fact, Dr. Sarah, a Life's Abundance Educational Vet on staff, says dog bad breath is an epidemic that affects 4 out of 5 dog companion animals over the age of three. It could also be a sign of dental disease which can lead to further health consequences throughout the dog's whole body and not just in the mouth. Infections of the gums and teeth can spread to other parts of the body that include the heart, kidneys and intestinal tract, even the joints.



    Two ways to help improve the health of teeth and gums is to brush your dog's teeth and provide them with dental snacks. Brushing the teeth and dental snacks aids in reducing the build up of plaque. Many pet parents find brushing their dog's teeth a frustrating which often results in a stressful experience for the pets.

    Life's Abundance provides a Gourmet Dental Treat you should feed your dogs daily:


    Healthy teeth and gums are an important consideration for your dog’s overall health. Poor dental hygiene can result in health consequences throughout the whole body, not just the mouth.

    Our Gourmet Dental Treats contain a variety of healthy grains, high-quality proteins plus hefty helpings of calcium and phosphorus, which are important nutrients for strong bones and teeth. And, we’ve included parsley to freshen your dog’s breath.

    With Gourmet Dental Treats, you'll be helping to support dental health and treating your dog to scrumptious oven-baked goodness!

    Feed as a snack as a part of your dog’s daily diet. Great for rewards or just to show your dog how much you love them!

    In the video below Dr. Sarah shares with you the proper technique for brushing your dog's teeth.

    Are Coats, Hats and Rain Gear a Necessity for Your Dog?

    Since Mother Nature provides the dog with its own outer fur coat you might think why bother with anything else. Little dogs, however, lose their body heat more quickly than the bigger dogs. Small dogs usually have a nice coat of hair, however, their small size still makes it necessary to add a little something else for colder temperatures. For the toy breed dogs it is like a necessity to provide them with something extra for those cold, blistery days outside. Outer garments will help the toy breed dog to retain their body heat in colder temperatures.

    Dog dressed in an airplane outfit

    When purchasing a coat for your toy dog use the same good sense as you do when purchasing your own coat. Look for good construction. Wool and micro fiber fabric retain warmth. If you live in a climate that experiences cold winters look especially for materials made of wool and fleece. Be sure the coat covers the dog enough to keep him warm.

    The coat should fit the dog comfortably around the neck, chest and armholes. Pay special attention to these areas and measurements when purchasing a coat. Coats don’t normally stretch like a sweater does. Exact fit will be more important than when purchasing a sweater for your dog.

    What is the cost of a good dog coat? Designer dog coats can cost several hundreds of dollars. A coat purchased at a large pet supply store of which there are many of the same, can retail for $20 or less. If you live in an area like, Boston, New York, Maine or Minnesota where the winters can sometimes become severe you probably should invest a little more money than $20 on a coat for your dog. Although cost does not always mean quality, sometimes the best of materials used to construct the garment will cost a little more. So look over the coat carefully when you purchase and be sure it is the quality you want before paying the higher price.

    Lycra body suits are available as an alternative to the traditional coats. Since the Lycra is stretchy material the product fits well on most dogs. The legs are built into the suit so the whole dog is covered securely. There are waterproof versions you can purchase for rainy climates. The Lycra suits are not quite as attractive as a faux fur or leather coat, but your dog will most likely love the warmth and comfort – sort of like you wearing a pair of sweats as opposed to tight fitting jeans!

    Whoever would think that a raincoat would come in handy for a dog? They most certainly can be handy for your little dog. Little dogs can quickly become miserable in the rain, and like chilled to the bone. If you live in a rainy climate, your little dog would probably appreciate some sort of rain gear. As with all other dog fashions, the choices can be overwhelming, there are so many for us today.

    Hats and hoods are just adorable on a dog of any size.  It is true that humans lose most of their heat from their heads. Dogs are not much different. A little hat or hood can also help your dog to retain body heat in colder climates.

    Purchase hats or hoods that attach firmly in place. A chin strap is helpful. The hat or hood should fit comfortably around the dog's ears. Dogs have different sizes and shapes of heads, one size hat or hood does not fit all.

    Now that your dog is dressed perfectly for your particular climate, have fun strutting down your favorite walking trail!

    After a long walk provide your little or big dog with some tasty and nutritious treats. If you are watching your dog's weight an excellent treat to feed are the Wholesome Hearts Low Fat Treats from Life's Abundance.


    Wholesome Hearts are delicious, low-fat dog treats. They are perfect for dogs that could stand to shed a few pounds and the rich flavor and delicate aromatic spices make them simply irresistible.
    • Proudly made in the USA with high-quality American ingredients.
    • No corn, wheat or soy and their glutens.
    • No artificial colors and no artificial flavors.
    • Fortified with L-Carnitine to help the body utilize fat.
    • Contains multi-grains, fruits and vegetables.
    • With chicken meal, eggs and other wholesome ingredients.
    • Gently baked, heart-shaped treats with a “just from the oven” flavor.
    Formulated by Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM. “Whether your dog is experiencing a problem with weight, or if you just want to help your pup maintain a trim and healthy figure, you can’t do better than the nutrition of Wholesome Hearts. I highly recommend Wholesome Hearts because they are healthy low-fat treats that will satisfy your dog’s desire for a tasty snack in-between meals.”

    Achieving a Beautiful Coated Shih Tzu Tips

    There is nothing more beautiful than a just groomed and well groomed Shih Tzu. A Shih Tzu is a beautifully-coated dog. When you take the time to cultivate the Shih Tzu’s thick, luxurious coat it is truly a joy to behold.
    Shih-Tzu

    Once the Shih Tzu’s coat is ruined or let go almost beyond repair, the Shih Tzu’s coat take endless time and energy to restore to its original beauty. Therefore, it is wise to take a little time each day to keep your Shih Tzu’s hair in top condition. This, of course, is especially true if a Shih Tzu is to be presented in the show ring.

    Daily grooming is absolutely essential to the well-being of the Shih Tzu as well. Regardless of whether your Shih Tzu is a show dog or a house pet, the Shih Tzu’s coat requires regular, careful attention.

    To make the Shih Tzu grooming routine a bit more simple, first establish grooming as a common practice in the daily routine and decide upon a particular spot for grooming your Shih Tzu each day. Over time, you will find the Shih Tzu grooming routine to be a very special bonding time for you and your pet companion.

    Lighting is important. You will make the Shih Tzu grooming process easier for yourself if you choose a spot with good lighting.

    Place your grooming table in a spot where you will have the least distractions. Keep toys, dog biscuits, other dogs or family pets out of sight.

    Let the Shih Tzu know there is work to be done and you intend to do it. Be firm, yet gentle. Many Shih Tzu tend to resist first attempts at grooming. However, if introduced and maintained properly, the grooming routine will become a time the Shih Tzu looks forward to as “special time” spent with you. And always remember, “Surface grooming” is never enough. You must decide to groom your Shih Tzu from the skin to the end of the hair if your efforts are to be effective.

    Shih Tzu are nervous about their footing, therefore, the grooming table should be steady. Ribbed rubber matting on the Shih Tzu grooming table is best for the surface and is easy to clean. I have found just a plain vinyl top card table is steady enough to perform all my Shih Tzu grooming chores. The vinyl top is easily cleaned and disinfected after use.

    Do not overlook the tiny nails of a very young Shih Tzu puppy. I often dread clipping the nails of tiny, young Shih Tzu puppies. However, the task must be performed at least once weekly. The best way to trim the nails of a very young Shih Tzu puppy is to hold the puppy in your lap on its back. Keep a bottle of Styptic powder or a similar coagulant (powder to stop bleeding) handy in the event that one nail is cut too short and there is bleeding. Invariably, even as often as I have clipped nails, I will still end up with some bleeding at times. So don’t feel bad if it happens to you. Just keep your powder handy, dab it on with a q-tip, hold it tight with pressure for a minute or so and the bleeding will stop quickly.

    There is no specific set amount of time recommended for grooming to produce the desired effect. You will get better over time. Shih Tzu with very heavy coats will naturally require more time. Again, remember to allow enough time each day for going over the entire Shih Tzu from the skin out. What you skip over one time will be twice as hard to remedy by the next Shih Tzu grooming session. You also risk pulling out twice as much hair when a spot is allowed to get twice as much tangled. If your desire is the beautiful coat so characteristic to a Shih Tzu, you must never let the coat tangle and twist into knots that result in hair breakage and hair loss.

    The correct brush for the Shih Tzu should have pin bristles and the coat should be brushed in layers from the skin out to the very ends of the hair. If your brush gathers hair on one side only, you are not holding the brush properly. The Shih Tzu coat should be brushed in the direction in which the coat is to fall.

    There is one exception to brushing the Shih Tzu’s coat in the direction in which the coat is to fall. The one exception is for Shih Tzu puppies. The method for brushing the coat of a Shih Tzu puppy is “every which way.” The “every which way” coat brushing of a Shih Tzu puppy actually stimulates the skin and hair cells to encourage growth of the permanent coat. The legs can be fluffed up as a last minute finishing touch as well.

    Fashion Clothes Bring out the Human Qualities of Dogs

    The toy dog breeds do look a whole lot cuter in their fancy clothes than say an Alaskan Malamute. But even if you have a large hardy dog that has a double coat, a raincoat is still a must to keep you from bringing home a sopping wet dog after a run through the park.

    Dog as TV star Belgian National Day Brussels 2012

    Almost anyone with a little money can dress their dog to ward off the elements. However, dog fashion has extended into leashes and collars, jewelry, shoes and a whole lot more.

    You rarely see a piece of rope around a dog's neck for a collar these days. You are more likely to see a diamond necklace around the neck these days. Plain old collars are just no longer appropriate for our best of friends. People like dressing up their dogs just as well as dressing up themselves.

    Dog collars and leashes today not only serve a practical purpose but they can make a fashion statement as well and be every bit as fashionable as the best pair of shoes and matching purse you own. Most people usually buy one or two good collars during the life of their dog.

    For those conscious of dog fashion, however, there is absolutely no limit just the same as all the matching shoes and purses you own in your closet. Fido with a fashion conscious owner probably has his own closet as well.

    For many of us, our dogs are one of the most important things in our lives. It is easy to realize why we want to adorn them in the very best of dog fashion designs.

    Dog fashion also includes beds and bedding. Throwing down an old blanket is gone for the true dog lover. A true dog lover will choose the dog's bed as carefully as he chooses his own bed.

    The dog lover wants a comfortable, cleanable and durable bed for our best friends to sleep and lounge upon.

    Dog fashion designers are drawing up new plans everyday and compete with each other to try and provide us with what we want.

    Our choices in beds and bedding for our dog companions are unbelievable and sometimes make having just one nearly impossible. Just the minute you purchase a very special bed for your dog, you will see another one even more special.

    A day spent relaxing with your favorite companion, the dog, means also to dress he or she in luxury robes and pajamas that can even match your own lounging attire.

    The world of dog designer clothing and accessories is quickly becoming a billion dollar industry as fashion designers and marketers scramble to meet and fulfill the needs of us humans.

    There is a lot of love being spent on our little friends.  And there is a lot of money being made by those who know how to create and market their dog fashion designs.

    Our little friends are hearing our messages of love toward them. I think there is no other breed that loves to be pampered as well as the dog. So have fun with the millions of choices in dog fashions we have today for our beloved friends.

    Shop online and save yourself some time for dog fashions for your dog. Online dog fashion shops are absolutely by the millions I believe and they feature everything you can imagine and cannot even imagine. Dresses, shoes, hats, just everything you own for yourself can be duplicated in dog fashions. You will find dog fashions for your dog for every type of lifestyle imaginable.

    Our dogs love all that attention.

    Dressing the dog in clothes makes them feel extra, extra special. It is a bonding experience for you and your friend, which you don’t want to miss out on.

    Gone are the days we throw out a ball for the dog to fetch and return to us. Just play “dress-up” with your dog and you will find an even more intimate relationship with he or she will develop.

    If you want to bring out the real “human qualities” in a dog, dress him or her up in dog fashions to your heart’s content. You will create a best friend who will stick closer to you than a brother or sister!

    Remember to give your dog the highest quality in dog chews as well.

    A great product to provide your pet kid with a relaxing massage that also instantly neutralizes stubborn stinkiness is the Life's Abundance Stainless Steel Odor Remover. You can even use it to remove the lingering scents of onion, garlic and fish from your own hands.

    Matron Mammary Gland Care After Whelping

    It is necessary to examine your  matron’s mammary glands daily, directly before whelping and throughout nursing and weaning periods. A secretion of moderately thick liquid clear or brown with streaks of white milk is normal.

    If this discharge is bloody or yellowish in color you need to consult with your vet. The first secretion, known as colostrums, is normal and present in every new mother. Colostrums contain the mother’s antibodies and are necessary to newborn puppies, particularly in the first 24 hours of life.

    If you are tube or bottle feeding, and the dam has colostrums, express some into the formula. Keep your  dam updated on immunizations prior to mating time. Never vaccinate a pregnant dog. The antibodies in the colostrums protect the newborn puppies against infectious diseases to which the mother is immune.

    Chihuahua puppy 001

    Matrons will shed hair along the abdomen prior and after whelping. However, if your matron has long hair, it is likely you will need to trim close also. The best is to shave down the entire abdomen and genitalia area just prior to whelping. Puppies can ingest air while nursing if hair remains around the mammary glands. The presence of hair also collects milk and promotes rapid bacterial growth and can cause illness in the puppies, which can lead rapidly to death.

    Heavy mammary glands require daily washing and thorough drying of the entire abdominal area until the  puppies are weaned. The  dam’s milk glands should always feel pliable, being moderately soft although heavy and full feeling to your examination. Your  matron is in trouble should there be any hardness in an entire individual gland or row, visible redness and/or red streaks or yellowish or bloody discharge expressed.

    Placing a bandage over the nipple of the affected teat is usually sufficient to stop very young  puppies from nursing. Use a small amount of camphorated oil of Vicks VapoRub to stop older puppies from nursing at an infected site. Seek veterinarian care for your matron. Nursing from infected mammary glands could cause serious illness and diarrhea in the  puppies.

    For clean up use a little bleach and sudsy water to clean the whelping box and the box you keep your newborn puppies in.

    For clean up around the room use Life's Abundance Biodeodorizer Spray:

    Reviving Lifeless Puppies at Birth

    If a puppy’s progress is impeded, staying too long in the birth canal, it may be visibly lifeless. Some of these  puppies may have a faint heartbeat but no respiratory response. Others may show neither condition of life. A few visibly stillborn puppies will respond to efforts of resuscitation.

    Chihuahua puppy 001

    Never blow into a gurgling puppy’s mouth! Never blow into a  puppy’s mouth and nose before it has first been shaken-down. If you fail to shake a  puppy down before resuscitation is attempted on a visibly stillborn  puppy, you will force the amniotic fluid present into the  puppy’s lungs. The  puppy will die of asphyxiation, drowning in its own life fluid.

    First prepare a visibly stillborn puppy for resuscitation by using the bulb syringe and shaking-down method several times to clear the airway as much as possible.

    Wrap your hand around the puppy’s chest, your fingertips against the rib cage just behind the elbow. Pump your fingers two or three times in rapid succession to stimulate the heart. This action expels the oxygen in the  puppy’s lungs. Quickly follow the pumping by covering the  puppy’s muzzle, mouth and nose with your mouth. Blow gently. Do not blow too hard. You could rupture the  newborn’s delicate lung tissues. Do not blow air you have exhaled! Use your cheeks only to gently push fresh air into the puppy’s lungs. Give the puppy four breaths, then repeat the finger-pumping action over the lungs and heart. It may be necessary to repeat these resuscitation measures of breathing and pumping for as long as 20 or 30 minutes before the puppy may respond sturdily on its own.

    Check the puppy’s color after four or five minutes of resuscitation. Are the puppy’s pads and gums pink or blue? If the gums are white or bluish white, it may be too late to save this particular  puppy. If the  puppy’s gums and pads on the paws were pink at birth, and pink in response to your resuscitation efforts, there is a chance the  puppy can be revived.

    Once the  puppy is resuscitated and breathing well on its own, give the  puppy a final brisk toweling. Thoroughly dry the  puppy, causing it to cry and use its lungs. Give the  puppy back to its mother.

    Identifying Puppies:

    Nail polish to the  puppy’s toenails can be used to identify look-alikes. For example, the right front foot toenails of one  puppy may be painted red, another  puppy’s painted in pink. The left forepaws on two other  puppies, and the hind toenails on four additional sibling  puppies is left. With two colors, eight puppies of the same sex and color may be readily identified from birth onward.

    Many  puppies born one color change as they grow. At this time the  puppies no longer require identification by nail polish. Do not enter into your notes or notebook the birth colors of  puppies.

    It is best for  puppies to begin nursing as soon as possible. Some  puppies born vigorously have from the time of birth a strong instinct of where to go and how to begin nursing. Other  puppies will take time to begin nursing and may require your assistance. The sooner a  puppy nurses, the less chance there is of losing it.

    Are you looking for a pet and child friendly floor wash cleaner? Life's Abundance makes Bio-Base Floor Wash safe for pets and kids.

    Nursing bottles for orphaned puppies can be obtained through the veterinarian, pet supplier, wholesale catalogs or the internet. You should purchase several nipple styles to see which works best for you and your puppies.

    Puppies can become colicky just like human newborn babies. Be careful about allowing a  puppy to ingest air when either tube or bottle feeding. Always turn the bottle and nipple end down, before offering it to the puppy. All the air in the bottle will rise to the solid end. When the  puppy is nursing freely bubbles rise in the bottle. The bubble flow should be fairly rapid, small and uniform in size, rising in even response to the  puppy’s nursing. If the bubbles are large the  puppy may also be ingesting air. Check the nipple cap.

    Occasionally remove the bottle from the  puppy’s mouth to allow a return passage of air back into the bottle. A return passage of air occurs either through turning the bottle upright or by momentarily loosening the cap. Do not abruptly pull the bottle from the  puppy’s mouth. Place a finger in the corner of the puppy’s lip to break the nursing hold.

    Some puppies may instinctively resist the unnatural feel of a manufactured nipple.

    1. If the dam is available, rub the bottle and nipple and a towel over her mammary glands.

    2. Drape this towel across your stomach and lap.

    3. Hold the puppy on your lap against your abdomen.

    4. Express a small amount of formula from the bottle and wipe it over the nipple.

    5. As you introduce the bottle’s nipple to the  puppy’s mouth, move your legs slightly, jiggling your lap.

    6. Also jiggle the bottle up and down in the puppy’s mouth using tiny motions. The movements re-create the dam’s breathing and  puppy’s nursing position on the dam that should cause the  puppy to instinctively and reflexively latch onto the nipple.

    7. Have lots of patience.

    You will need to burp the bottle fed puppy after each feeding. Do not allow the puppy to nurse the bottle dry to avoid a colicky baby. You can burp your puppy the same as you would a newborn human baby on your shoulder with gentle pats and rubs between the shoulder blades.

    When you have weaned your orphan puppies put them on a high quality puppy dry food such as Life's Abundance Puppy Food according to what size your puppies will be full grown.

    Life's Abundance also make a wonderful Wellness Food Supplement that enhances the dry formula you feed your dogs.


    Supplementing your dog’s diet can play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. We know that some dogs require additional nutritional intake to help them maintain a healthy body, due to age, breed, environment and other factors. Based on this premise, our holistic veterinarian has formulated the perfect complement to your dog’s daily diet. Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs is formulated with a broad array of naturally nutritious ingredients from real food to help maintain overall health. The nutrients contained in this superior supplement are sourced from foods, chicken liver, cranberries, carrots, eggs, pineapples and many others.

     This chewable tablet includes the following nutritious ingredients:
    • Chicken liver, which is rich in vitamin A and D, protein and selenium.
    • Natural vitamin E, which is an antioxidant.
    • Taurine, which is an essential amino acid.
    • Cranberries, a rich source of vitamin C, dietary fiber and manganese.
    • Carrots, a rich source of beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamins C, D, and E, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and iron.
    • Dried egg, one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods, plays an important role in a balanced diet. Eggs are considered a complete protein source, providing essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, B, E, biotin, and sulfur). Eggs also provide healthy fats, such as omega-6 for healthy skin and a glossy coat.
    • Ground Flaxseed is a rich plant source of antioxidant lignans and omega-3 fatty. Flaxseed meal also has a very high level of protein and essential amino acids. In addition, flaxseed meal contains significant amounts of fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and is extremely rich in the minerals potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
    • Direct-fed microbials, ingredients similar to those found in supermarket yogurts.
    • Ester-C*, a unique and patented form of vitamin C (calcium ascorbate).
    • Tomato pomace, a good source of lycopene and vitamin C.
    • Alfalfa meal, which is a good source of protein, vitamin A, niacin and calcium, and a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese.
    • Pineapple, which is a good source of enzymes, vitamins, minerals and fiber.
    Like all of our superior-quality canine supplements, these delicious compressed tablets are scored in-half for easy splitting. And with a tantalizing liver flavor, your dog will be doing the happy dance when it comes time for his or her supplement!

    Does Your Dog Suffer From Incessant Scratching and Hot Spots?

    A lot of dogs  seen in vet offices are there for excessive scratching. What causes excessive scratching in a dog more than in cats, horses or any other animal species?

    Skorpa

    The three biggest reasons for excessive scratching include:

    •Parasites
    •Allergies
    •Skin infections

    There are many conditions, however, that causes dogs to scratch. Some of these dogs have an itchy rash, they lose hair from the scratching, or their hair tangles into knots that has to be removed, or they may just scratch incessantly. You can help a dog like this by using Life's Abundance Soothing Mist:

    Unfortunately, skin irritations are all too common for companion animals. That's why we offer Soothing Mist, an herbal blend created to enhance the natural health of the skin and to nourish coats. This spray features zinc and a calming blend of aloe vera gel, marigold, lavender and chamomile to help soothe and protect healthy skin and coats. Safe and effective for both dogs and cats, it's even suitable for puppies and kittens over 12 weeks of age. Finally, a gentle skin-care product that is also highly effective!

    The flea is the most common parasite that will make a dog scratch and itch incessantly. There are very effective flea treatments on the market today. If dog owners use these treatments as directed, they provide an effective way to protect the dogs from fleas and itching. Even dogs who stays indoors most of the time should receive regular flea treatment to protect against fleas because fleas can be picked up in the backyard while going to potty or in the park while going for a walk.

    Mites are another common parasite that can cause the dog to itch incessantly. Mites can also be effectively controlled with regular treatments.

    Allergies are frequently the cause of intense scratching in canines in general. If your dog is allergic to flea bites he can be miserable after only one flea bite.

    Dogs can also be allergic to environmental allergies such as seasonal pollen, molds, and insects, and non-seasonal allergens such as house dust and house dust mites. These environmental allergies are similar to those people have. People usually sneeze or have congestion in the nose. Dogs usually itch from the same kind of allergens people will sneeze from.

    Food allergies are another cause for a dog to itch. The dog may be allergic to one or more ingredients in the pet food you are feeding. Food allergies are usually less common, but can be quite severe. Life's Abundance has a formula that may help your dog if it is food he or she is allergic to. It is Grain Free All Life Stages Formula:

     Our premium, grain-free food is formulated for all life stages. Packed with nourishing, high-quality ingredients, this delicious food is perfectly balanced with all of the proteins, omega-3s, vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients pet kids need to thrive … without the grains.

    Symptoms of environmental allergies can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, shampoos and other medications. Allergy testing and hypo sensitization will most likely be recommended to find the exact underlying cause or disease. Some allergens can just be simply avoided by you and your dog.The ingredients in Life's Abundance Grooming Products are gentle and all natural. You might try using them to see if your dog's itching stops.

    Life's Abundance Grooming Products

    The most accurate method used for identifying a dog's sensitivity to allergens is the intradermal skin testing. You must be certain your dog is off certain medications like steroids and anti-histamines to have accurate results from testing.

    When you have identified the allergen that is troubling your dog, you can avoid it if possible. The dog can also be hypo sensitized to the offending allergen or allergens.

    Another cause of scratching in dogs in general is bacterial and yeast skin infections.

    Bacterial infections may look like small bumps on the skin. Yeast skin infections are smelly and greasy as well as itchy. The infections are easily cured, but sometimes the underlying cause must be found by a qualified vet if the infections are recurrent.

    The causes to your dog incessant itching can be found and remedied. Dogs do not have to be tormented by constant itching.

    To Avoid Pancreatitis Feed Your Dogs a High Quality Diet

    The disease of pancreatitis can occur in your dog if you feed the dog table scraps and/or garbage. It is important to feed your dog a well-balanced diet of high quality pet food. Pancreatitis presents itself from a severe inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ that aids in the digestion of the dog's food.

    Skorpa

    Symptoms of pancreatitis in the dog include:

    • A dog who suddenly starts to vomit
    • The vomiting may cause dehydration and the dog may become lethargic
    • The dog may also experience diarrhea

    The above symptoms are of course common to many diseases in the canine population. To help your vet make an appropriate diagnosis, be prepared to give him or her a good past history of events of your dog's eating patterns and what you been feeding the dog as well as other health related history. A good history from you, the dog owner, will help your vet determine whether or not the dog has pancreatitis due to improper eating or some other disease.

    If you have been feeding your dog a pet food that is high in fat, or a high-fat meal, or the dog has actually been getting into the garbage can and eating from therein, the diagnosis could very well be “pancreatitis.”

    Certain pesticides and some drugs have side effects that will cause an episode of pancreatitis. However, studies show there is higher incidence of pancreatitis among miniature Schnauzers and in obese animals. If your dog is on the “fat” side, the symptoms described above could be an episode of pancreatitis. Your vet will need to make the final diagnosis. If your dog vomits repeatedly, call your vet immediately as you do not want him or her dehydrating. Force water and some Pedialyte if repeated vomiting and diarrhea occurs during the time you await your vet’s appointment or in route to the emergency vet clinic.

    Episodes of pancreatitis requires vet examination. The pancreas of a dog makes digestive enzymes in an inactive form. These are then changed to the active form when they enter the small intestine of your dog. When a dog develops pancreatitis, the active enzyme is made in the pancreas and the organ digests itself. Damage to the pancreas may lead to diabetes and loss of liver function.

    When your dog is diagnosed with pancreatitis, the intestinal tract will require rest. All food and water should be withheld from the dog for a period of time. If your dog is dehydrated he or she may require vet hospitalization so intravenous fluids can be given. Pain medication may also be prescribed for your dog during this time.

    The dog normally responds to treatment for pancreatitis within a few days and can be put back on food. Slowly introduce an easily digestible diet to avoid diarrhea again. Remember, the dog's digestive tract has been “irritated.”

    When a dog has repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis or other signs of diabetes, the final diagnosis may be “chronic pancreatitis.” Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and does not last long. There is no permanent damage to the organ when “acute pancreatitis” occurs in the dog. However, in “chronic pancreatitis” the pancreas does undergo permanent damage and possible loss of function may occur.

    To avoid Pancreatitis, avoid feeding your dog table scrapes and keep him or her out of the garbage can. Always feed the highest quality of pet food you can afford. I recommend feeding a formula from Life's Abundance.
