Home Pets

While our four-legged friends are an absolute joy to be around and offer unconditional love and companionship, that’s not to say they don’t come with their own set of challenges. Of course, having a pet is more than just occasional walks in the park and cuddly moments – it needs dedication, care, and patience.

Besides being a great source of excitement, welcoming a new pet in your home also means you get the chance to prove you’re a responsible person as you have to provide them with all their necessities. Like offering a comfortable place to retreat to when they need it, to sleep in at night, to go to when the world is chaotic or frightening, or keep them safe when you can’t keep an eye on them.

Most Common Dog Medications

For a long time in the past, there weren’t any medications to help a sick dog. They were left on their own to get better and heal or don’t live to see another day. Thankfully, this changed and as medicine and technology advanced, so did dog medication. Nowadays, there are many ways to treat almost any dog disease, and these goods can come in the form of pills, syrups, injections, tablets and creams to make them feel better.

There are many reasons why dogs need to wear diapers occasionally. If your dog lives at home and you’re potty training them, wearing diapers until they become aware of their needs and create a bathroom habit is a good idea. Senior dogs that have trouble getting up and going outside on time also wear diapers. Having trouble walking and controlling their urges may force puppy owners to get diapers for everyday use. Urinary incontinence caused by a urinary tract infection or diabetes can also be a valid reason. And last, female dogs that are in heat also need diapers. To avoid stains all over the house, veterinarians recommend wearing diapers at this time.

If the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, then the liver is the premium biochemical laboratory of both humans and dogs. Performing over 500 vital functions, it not only aids in digestion through bile production but also takes in all of the blood leaving the intestines for further processing. Some of its roles include the production of cholesterol and certain proteins like albumin, clotting factors, immune factors and special proteins (lipoproteins) that carry fats throughout the body.

Who could say no to a relaxing car ride? You’re absolutely right, no one. And yes, while dogs can’t speak, they can definitely show their enthusiasm by excitedly hopping into your lap as you’ve just sat down on the driver’s seat. As they stare at you with those big adorable puppy eyes, you realize you simply don’t have the heart to leave them home alone.
