Dogs

There are many good-quality dog foods for sale; read the labels and talk with your veterinarian if you need help deciding what to feed your dog. Many people only feed their dog dry food, since it's more convenient to serve, has less odor, is less likely to spoil in the bowl, and can reduce the build-up of tartar on the dog's teeth. Remember to have fresh, cool water available for your dog at all times.

The following guidelines can help you deal with this behavior through management (preventing the problem) and training (motivating the dog to change his behavior). Management means arranging the environment to prevent the behavior.

Spaying or neutering is one of the greatest gifts you can provide your pets. These routine medical procedures not only help control pet overpopulation, but they may also allow your dog to lead a longer, healthier and happier life. Spaying is the surgical removal of a female dog's ovaries and uterus, while neutering is the removal of a male dog's testicles. While both operations are conducted routinely with few complications, only licensed veterinarians are allowed to perform them.
