What to Do When Your Dog is Attacked by Another Dog

It's not as though you're going to like everyone you meet. And yet, it's not as though this dislike is going to turn into a physical fight. This is not the case when dogs don't get along. Though they're domesticated animals, dogs can still fight rather viciously with each other, and this can be traumatic when your dog is the victim—both for your dog, and for you as their loving owner.

Three Critical Guidelines on Handling Your Injured Dog

Canine pets can sustain minor or major injuries when exploring the neighbourhood. Moreover, they might get into fights or rough play with other dogs and receive significant bites or scratches. If you have an adventurous dog as your companion, you should be prepared to deal with some injuries. Proper response during an emergency will prevent the escalation of the problem. Here are some critical guidelines on handling your injured dog.

Dog Care: Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition in dogs, and female dogs seem to be more susceptible to developing this condition than male dogs.

According to RSPCA Australia, more than 20,000 cats were rehomed during the 2012-2013 financial year.

The resources to look after rescued cats simply don't exist, making it essential that loving new homes are found for them in order to bring down the euthanasia numbers. When people visit a shelter to adopt a cat, they're naturally attracted to the younger ones, and kittens typically have little problem in finding a home quickly.

Your horse's diet has a direct impact on their overall health, and part of the responsibility that comes with owning a horse is ensuring their nutritional needs are met. Poor nutrition can impact your horse's weight, and it can weaken their immune system, which leaves them vulnerable to parasitic infestation and bacterial infections. Additionally, gastrointestinal issues can develop over time, and your horse may experience chronic diarrhoea and stomach discomfort.
