Bergdorf Goodman: Bedbug Detecting Dog Just A Precaution
Wiki Commons Bedbugs have infested some major name-brand stores in NYC this summer, including Hollister , Abercrombie & Fitch , and Victoria’s Secret . Then they went after the bookworms at the NYPL ! And now Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue has a bedbug-sniffing beagle roaming the aisles. This should make for a cute Metropolitan Diary entry about a pearl-clutching “woman of a certain age …

Dog Clothing: not Just a Novelty

Dog Clothing: Not Just a Novelty
There are still a lot of people who think that dog clothes are frivolous. Perhaps it’s because they haven’t really understood the importance of having them around. If you’re one of them, perhaps it’s time that you try to see things in a different light. Would you go naked during winter months or allow yourself to be totally exposed to the harmful rays of the sun during summer? If your answers are no, then that gives you a short explanation why dog clothing isn’t just a form of novelty these days.
Why Your Dogs Need to Wear Shirts
There are a variety of shirt designs available, and all of them can absolutely make your dog look lovely and trendy. However, they can also offer protection and comfort to them. Tees will always be one of the most ideal choices when it comes to keeping your dog secure all throughout the season. They are excellent to protect their bodies from the sun’s rays during the summer and to keep them warm during cold weather. Moreover, they can prevent tick or flea infestation since the shirts will act as barriers. If you decide to keep bugs away from your dog, all you need to do is to spray the chemical on the shirt and not on your dog, where the skin may absorb it and may cause some health problems later.
Health wise, a T-shirt will give your dog a chance to enjoy the sun without developing sunburn—yes, they are just like us. As a matter of fact, skin cancer is one of the leading illnesses among different breeds. This is because the UV rays of the sun can also burn their skin and cause them to lose their natural protection against the sun’s harmful rays.
The Purpose of Large Dog Clothing
Large dog clothes are ideal for the “big ones,” especially for those that don’t have really thick fur or hairs such as the Rottweillers and the Great Danes. This is because when the weather starts to drop, they are unable to keep themselves insulated or warm. A large sweater will not only make them feel comfortable and snuggly, but will also help those suffering from arthritis to enjoy the colder season. The sweater can reduce the pain of those aching joints.
The little ones, meanwhile, can benefit from rain slickers, rain coats, and rain jackets. They offer the same amount of protection as big dog clothes, with the added benefit of staying dry in wet conditions. A lot of the dog rain coat styles are equipped with reflective strips to warn drivers of their presence.
If you want to keep your dogs healthy at all times, while allowing them to express themselves, don’t let them go naked. Give them something to wear.
Dog clothing isn’t just a mere piece of luxury. It is also a very essential item, something that offers protection and comfort to your dogs. Dog jackets from Puppia are made of very soft materials, offering superior comfort to your dog. They also come with adjustable straps and belts, as well as reflective strips. What are you waiting for?

Dog Houses – Just the Thing to Protect Your Pooch From the Weather
Jul 22nd
The weather is starting to heat up outside and before it gets too far into the summer, think on this for a bit: Do you have an outdoor shelter in place for your pooch? If not, there’s still time to look into all the dog houses available to find the perfect one for your pet.
Whether you have a large or small dog, dog houses are a great investment because it give your dog a nice place to get out of the elements. For example, maybe the sun is high up in the sky and you want to let your dog outside to enjoy it, but you want to stay inside and work on a project at your computer so you can’t keep walking back and forth to see if your dog wants to come inside. Well, one would be a great option for when he wants to take a break from that sun, all he has to do is go inside and sit down. It’s that simple.
Dog houses are also great for when there’s inclement weather too. Like, if there’s a storm or something if you have an outside dog. Or, maybe it’s the winter and it’s snowing, then, one would give your dog a nice place to go inside and warm up, especially if you attach a heater to it. There are ones with air conditioner units as well, perfect for those hot summer days.
In addition to all the amenity choices, there are also dog houses of a wide variety of styles. Like, you can get one that has the look and feel of a regular house with shingles, siding, windows, and even a door just like your house, only the difference being that it is scaled down for your dog’s size. There are even duplex options to with two different openings that go to separate areas, ideal for if you have to dogs who like their space. In addition to those, a few of the other choices include ones that are two levels and have a loft, others that are made out of fabric and are designed to be used indoors, and some that even come with porches and patios.
For a great way to check out all the dog houses that you could purchase for your pet, forget about getting in your car and head to that local pet store. You don’t need to waste a trip on gas to browse and shop, basically, all you need to do is head over to your family computer, turn it on, and start browsing the Internet. There, you can look into all the options just by surfing through the different retailers and their offerings. When you do decide on something, it generally will be available at the best prices around and it will be shipped right to your home. So, again, you don’t have to waste a trip to the store.
In the end, no matter how much time your pooch spends outside, he is going to need some shelter and that’s where dog houses come into play. There are many fine option, all of which your pooch will be sure to enjoy.

A Dog Crate Is More Than Just A Place To Call Home
Jun 11th
You have a dog. You need a dog crate. The question is what kind do you want or need? The purposes and functions of a good dog crate can make a big difference not only in the life of your dog, but, more importantly, in the life of the owner. If you need a dog crate that is big and sturdy, then a small soft-sided one just won’t do. Obviously, if you need or want a soft-sided model then a large wire heavy duty crate would be impractical. So let’s take a look at the types of crates on the market to see what some of the options are, that way you can be sure to find one that will keep you and your dog as happy as possible.
First, the classic wire crates are great for puppy training and for securing your dog. Most models have a removable bottom floor pan that can be hosed off and cleaned. When we trained our last puppy, this was a real benefit. Spread out those newspapers and get to work house training! When the inevitable accidents happen it’s no big deal to remove the pan from the dog crate, clean it off and put it back. Another really nice feature to many of these types of crates is that they have multiple doors. When we travel we put our lab in the crate and the crate in the back of the suburban. If the dog crate only had one door on the end it would be a real pain to load and unload the dog. But, since it has a second side door it makes it really simple for him (and us) to get in and out. Some of these wire models can also be broken down and made relatively flat for storage.
Second, and many wire crates fall in this category, there’s the folding dog crate that is, not surprisingly, foldable. After all, what color is George Washington’s white horse? The main thing to know about this style is that they can be quickly collapsed for storage making them super portable. They are easy to set up and extremely convenient. They still serve the greater purpose of safety and security for your dog. I’ve seen these electro-coated so that they have an attractive white or black finish. And, of course, they are also available in the standard galvanized steel. The removable pans on these are also available in different materials like galvanized or plastic. This type of dog crate is perfect for uses where wear and tear are heavy, but appearance is important. Most soft sided crates, discussed next, also fall in this category.
Finally, the soft sided dog crate is perfect for many uses. They allow your pet to have a bit more comfort, but perhaps the main benefit to this style is that they are more gentle on your car or home interior. No edges to catch on anything, and they come in lots of fun colors. When you are not using them they can be folded up and put away. One nice thing of this style crate versus the wire crate, is that they are a lot lighter to move or carry! These, like the others, come in small, medium, and large sizes.
Find a dog crate that works for you and your pet. There’s lots of them out there to choose from, and you’ll be glad you did.

Is the Frontline Plus Formula the same for Large Dogs as Small Dogs, Just different dosage amounts?
May 23rd
I see on Ebay that people are selling the Large Dog one big container of Frontline for small dogs. What they do is they give you a syringe to measure out the correct dosage for the small dog.
Example one container 4.02 mL = 6 monthly dosages of .67 mL for a small dog.
I just learned of this practice. Any opinions?
