The Best Rubber Dog Toy

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

All the dogs chew from time to time, this is a habit of them, and this habit can become excessive in their teething period or when they get bored. Once you have this in mind, it is important to try to figure out how it is that you can help your dog to stop chewing valuable things in the house in addition to its own house. The solution for this is at your hand, you just need to buy it a rubber dog toy and your dog will have something better to chew than your things. These things are not to eat but to be chewed, and basically they are designed and manufactured to resist a long time to a chewing dog. Nevertheless, in order to avoid any kind of mishap that could occur when your dog chews the toy, it is important to make sure you are buying the best toy for it.

The first thing that you should consider is the material used to manufacture the toy. There are some rubber materials that are very light and they can easily tear when chewed by the dog. The duration of a chewing toy will also depend on the kind of dog you have and its chewing habits. There are some dogs that chew more than others, which make it important to ensure that you settle for the best rubber material that suits your dog perfectly. A toy that can be broken or tear apart when the dog chews it is dangerous, as it could swallow a part and choke with it or block its intestines.

A second aspect to consider when buying a rubber dog toy is the ability of the rubber material to resist when the toy is chewed by the dog. Your dog will be very pleased to chew a lot of hours to its rubber toy, and in the mean time it will also exercise the muscles of its neck, jaws and mouth. It is also possible to add some treats in these toys to ensure that the dog is both active and it is also enjoying itself. This way you will provide your dog with a physical occupation and also with a mental challenge, because your dog will need to find a method of getting the treats out of the toy in order to eat them.

You also need to choose a material that won’t rip, puncture, crack or even shred when your dog get nervous and chews the toy with excessive aggressiveness. The toy should have no detachable parts which could be swallowed by the dog, leading to suffocation or other complications that could be really dangerous for your pet.

Buy more than one rubber dog toy and interchange them from time to time. You can find more toy models that will please your dog. It is also important to ensure that the dog is challenged in a way and in order to do this you need to take another different type of toy and stuff it with different treats from the first one and put them together to see the one that it will go for. With the numerous types of the rubber dog toy available in the market, nothing should worry you when it comes to selecting the most suitable one if you have the right tips.

This sturdy but little dog looks like a ball of fluff. When cut to the breeds show standard it looks round, this can be in a puppy cut, which is the same length over the whole body. It can also have a poodle cut, or puffy coat with the muzzle and feet clipped short. The skull is slightly round to look at. The muzzle is shorter than the skull and not pointed. Their eyes can be brown or black. Their ears are dropped close to the head and are covered in their long hair. In this breed, the teeth should meet in a scissor bite. Their legs are straight and in good proportion to the body. Their tail is carried over their back. They have a wonderful double coat that is soft and curly. Their outer coat is three to four inches and is coarser than the soft substantial undercoat. Colours are cream, grey apricot and the solid white, which is the favoured in the show ring.

History: This little dog’s history goes back to the 13th century. They have travelled lots and due to their sunny disposition were used as barter by many sailors. They became popular in Spain. They became known as the sailor’s dog also enjoying water and retrieving, but it is not a true retriever or water dog. Here we see a dog whose role is one of companion. Their popularity went up dramatically in the court of Henry III. This breed became the favourite of the French courts in the 16th century. In the 19th century, we see the dog has gone from the courts to working for a living, by being a circus dog and popular with organ grinder’s to attract a crowd. This little dog was brought to America in1955. Nowadays this dog is a companion dog. It is descended from the Barbet Water Spaniel and the poodle, where it gets its lovely coat.

Here we have a naturally obedient and competitive. Potty training this dog can be a challenge, but this breed gets there in the end. Needing firm rules, giving the dog the knowledge it needs to please you. Good leadership is needed by all dogs, but here we see a dog that will love to follow a good leader, and you will get the best from this breed. Without this the dog can bark obsessively, have separation anxiety, and become a snappy dog, far from the dog we have first talked about. All this doesn’t need to happen, with good leadership from you. Needing daily walks with its family this dog will be happy and balanced.

Health issues: This breed can have epilepsy, cataracts, skin problems and this also includes sensitivity to flea bites, dislocated kneecaps, ear problems and watery eyes.

Grooming: With bathing, needed monthly, and grooming, a few times a week, you will still have to take this dog to a saloon, for professional grooming monthly.

Living conditions: This is a happy breed and will just want to be with its human family, and so this dog can live in an apartment easily providing they have daily walks, play will help get that energy out but all dogs love to have a walk.

A Cheerful, Happy Dog, the Bichon Frise Is Small and Sturdy and Pleasant to Be Around

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

They are naturally gentle and playful. They are generally gregarious with other animals, and usually also do well with children. They love activity and require regular exercise. Bichons are very much a companion dog and do not do well if left unattended for long periods of time. They have almost a supernatural need to be with their people.

A Bichon has naturally curly hair like poodles. The coat must be white, but may have shadings of buff, cream or apricot. Any potential owner must commit time to grooming to maintain that that plush, cotton-ball-like look. They need to be bathed and brushed at least once a week, with professional grooming and scissoring once a month. Because Bichons do not shed, they tend to be a good breed for allergy sufferers.

One of the biggest challenges with a Bichon Frise is that they can be notoriously difficult to housetrain. This fact is the primary reason they are relinquished into rescue groups.

Since the popularity of the Bichon Frise has risen in recent years, there has been an increase in commercial breeding in puppymills. These mass-produced Bichons tend to not be well socialized and have poor temperaments. Most of this is attributed to poor breeding and the fact that most are sold much earlier than the 10-12 weeks that a reputable breeder will let puppies go to their new homes.

Did you know that owning a dog can extend your lifespan? Studies have shown that pet owners have less stress, less cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Many dog’s are excellent protectors of there families and can act as a early warning system to intruders. Also if you walk your dog on a regular basis you will get good exercise as well.

Adding a Buzz to Your Family With a Bichon Frise

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

bichon frise buzz

The Bichon Frise has a unique personality trait. Many owners refer to it as the “Bichon Buzz” or “Bichon Blitz”. During a “Buzz” or “Blitz” the Bichon Frise with run around the house or yard in a crazy burst of excitement. In some cases this includes jumping and bouncing off furniture and running from room to room or place to place with no reason, just spur-of-the-moment excitement! Barking usually accompanies this behavior, but it is meant out of shear joy. Each “Buzz” or “Blitz” is unique for only those that witness it to see!

The Bichon Frise is also reported to be hypoallergenic. However, allergies can vary considerably by individual so although the breed might be easy on some people with allergies to pet dander, this breed may not be ideal for everyone with allergies to pet dander. These dogs do shed, but regular grooming keeps this to a minimum and therefore is less like to exacerbate any allergies.

Owners suggest brushing the dog on a daily basis and getting a professional bathing, cleaning and grooming done about every three months. The eyes need daily cleaning to wipe the tear stains that appear on the dogs delicate white fur. This dog does require a lot of time on a daily basis and is best for families that can provide the time to properly care for the dog. Having older children to share in the responsibly is recommend over having children that are still young enough to require lots of care themselves.

Bichon Frise: The Popular Cartoon Dog?

The Bichon Frise is a small dog whose breed originated in Spain and Belgium and later moved into France. The name Bichon Frise is French for “curly lap dog”. This non-shedding, hypoallergenic breed is noted to be of medium-high intellect, making them easier to train and great companion dogs that interact well with children and other animals.

The Bichon descended from the Water Spaniel and was used in trade by the Spanish sailors as they travelled the continents. In the 1300′s, Italian sailors highly regarded the breed and the Bichon Frise became popular with Italian nobility.

Since the days of sailing the Bichon loves water and retrieving games, and is a great companion to humans. The breed had great success in France during the Renaissance period, adored by King Francis I in 1515-1547 and also by King Henry III in 1574-1589. By March 5th, 1933 the purebreds were accepted into the Societe Centrale Canine, in France.

Anyone who is familiar with the “Tintin” books would know of the little white dog named “Milou” or “Snowy”. The breed was recognized in Australia in the 1960′s and was brought to the United States in 1955. The Bichon Frise purebreds were officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1973.

Bichon Frise Health

Although most dogs will be healthy, this breed is predisposed to some health issues. Asking about your dogs health status with breeders or shelter staff is the best way to purchase a dog in optimum health. Following up on a regular basis with a trusted veterinarian with help maximize your dog’s longevity. Some of the common health problems in the Bichon Frise breed may include:

Cancers -Usually occurs in aging Bichons and can affect various organs. Treatable with chemotherapy and/or radiation, but may not be curable. Only a veterinarian can offer the best advice for treatment and prognosis based on the individual dog, type of cancer and severity of the cancer at time of diagnosis

Liver Failure – Treatable with diet modifications and medication if necessary. Usually occurs secondary to liver shunting.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) -Can be congenital, or brought on by a toxin or parasite. The condition results in the dog’s body failing to recognize it’s own red blood cells. Therefore, the dog’s immune system destroys the red blood cells in a failed attempt at self defense. Anemia results. The condition can be treated by medication, blood transfusion or surgical removal of the dog’s spleen. This condition may not always be curable.

Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP) -Is a hereditary disorder in which the dog has low levels of platelets, which are cells in the blood responsible for blood clot formation. Dogs with ITP are at higher risk of developing bleeds, and being unable to clot when injured. Some dogs develop minor bleeds, such as nose bleeds with prolonged bleeding times, and in some cases the disorder is severe, leading to internal bleeding that can become a major medical emergency. Treatment for ITP consists of medication and blood transfusions, but there is no cure. Develop a good relationship with a veterinarian and see that veterinarian consistently to maximize your dogs symptomatic treatment options.

All breeds are susceptible to specific disorders. Each breed can be affected to varying degrees. The idea of listing the common illnesses for each breed is not to discourage you from wanting a specific breed if you find it a perfect fit for your family; but to help you better prepare for the future health of your dog. As well as provide you with the knowledge necessary to get a dog in the best optimum health.

Like people, it is not possible to predict what a dog’s health may be over the course of their life time. Just as with people, some are very healthy with only mild, acute needs for medical care, while others develop chronic issues needing life long care support. Still others may need emergency medical care due to accidents, illness or injury.

I encourage owners to develop a strong relationships with a consistent veterinarian who the owner and dog both can bond with. Adequate medical care is a financial expense, but a necessity for being a responsible dog owner.

Stop Excessive Barking With a Bark Collar

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

As a dog owner, you must be prepared to face all sorts of situations, like excessive barking, that might annoy your family and neighbors.

What Can You Do?

Figure out why your dog barks so much. No dog barks for no reason. There is usually an external stimulus that annoys your dog; maybe it’s an animal (like a cat), maybe it does not like people walking on the street or maybe it gets bored if left alone more than a certain amount of time. If you cannot remove the stimulus that annoys your dog, then you need to find alternatives.

Never punish your dog if it barks out of stress or fear, because this will only intensify the barking. You can use positive training techniques instead of coercion. Positive traning techniques include exposing your dog repeatedly to the stimulus, while you try to calm it down; distracting the dog when the stimulus occurs or the reshaping technique – teach it to bark on command. Many times these methods work efficiently if you have enough patience to apply them. However, sometimes it takes more than that to calm the repeated barking. You can even consider taking it to a training center or a vet.

About The Bark Collar?

Some people who own dogs use a bark collar to prevent excess barking. These items come in more versions.

A popular bark collar is the one that uses citrus spray that is pulverized whenever your dog barks. Some collars even give the dog a warning “hiss” so that they can learn to avoid the smell entirely.

Bark collars with sonic or ultrasonic sounds utter low frequency sounds that only dogs can hear. The dog doesn’t like the sound; it becomes annoying or distracting and the dog will bark less often.

Electronic barking collars give the dog a mild shock when they bark. The method does not hurt your dog, but it can substantially reduce barking.

These are not the only solutions available, but they can solve the problem better than other products or techniques. You can safely use any of the three types – the citronella spray collar, the electronic one or the sonic/ultrasonic dog collar. None of these methods are dangerous to your dog, but can be effective deterrents for excessive barking.

If you need a solution to prevent your dog from barking excessively, you can either use dog training or Bark collars. The latter comes in three versions, which are all very efficient – collars with citronella spray, electronic collars or sonic/ultrasonic dog collars. Any of these methods will not harm the animal. More information on barking collars is available here.

Bichon Frise Puppies – Potty Training Tips Owners Should Know About

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

puppy

If you’re bringing home Bichon Frise puppies, you may have a big headache ahead of you, and some sleepless nights. Because having these puppies at home means hours and hours of potty training. Going through this without much forethought is a recipe for disaster. If this is your first time owning Bichon puppies, you can use these tips.

You need to buy supplies

That means rags, a crate, potty pads, a dedicated potty station, among other things. You can’t expect those pup to be neat on their own, so you need to be prepared to both minimize and clean up the mess those critters are going to make in your house. You should consider putting the pups in a room with thick walls, or at least is away from neighbors, or has windows that shut tightly – you want to be able to both contain the noise and let the smell out in case the poop and pee are too much, You want your pups to be warm, so you might want to line up the crate with an old bed sheet or blanket, although old newspapers will do just as well. Stock up on premium dog food and lots of treats, too.

You need to get your house ready

Puppy poo and pee are distinctive, and you will be able to tell – especially if you bought the puppies from a breeder and have visited the breeder’s home. Imagine that scent pervading your home, latching on your curtains, and clinging to the clothes you wear to work. You need to segregate an area of your home, put a crate there for the puppies to sleep in, and cover the area with newspapers. Get air fresheners, too, and make sure they are water based so you don’t annoy the pups’ sense of smell.

Read up on the breed

It’s never a bad thing to look up only how others fared through their puppy house-breaking phase. If you can Google up any topic, you should surely try looking up sites for taking care of Bichon Frise puppies. You can always go back and search the urls in your browser’s history, so don’t worry about too much info from websites – you’re bound to like some, forget some, and come back to others. You may also want to contact your the breeder you bought your puppies from, since he or she is likely to be q good source of recommended books on taking care of the breed you have.

Put your vet on speed dial, just in case

The problem with this set up is that you might end up calling your vet for the smallest things, just to get some feedback on what you’re doing, after all he is just a phone call away; it’s faster than looking something up on a website. Try to read up on the breed first so that when you call you can cite specific symptoms and narrate precise circumstances – and not about your love and concern for the pups. Get friendly with the breeder you bought them from, too, so you can get a lot of tips.  

You have to be sure you want Bichon Frise puppies in the first place. If you’re enamored with the breed, either because your friend owns one or you’ve seen them in videos and dog shows, consider getting an adult one instead. Acquiring Bichon puppies is a tricky affair, since you could be conned by a dishonest breeder into buying poorly bred and unhealthy puppies.
