Welcome to the Dog House! The links on this page will take you to information relating to the health and safety of your pet.

Many dogs are allergic to their food and as a result they get hot spots, chew their feet, lose hair and develop skin problems.

It just makes good sense to spay or neuter your pet from a health aspect. It also helps lessen pet overpopulation that results in millions of cats and dogs being euthanized every year.

Pet owners are often the unwitting cause of their dog or cat being poisoned. The charts on the Toxin page will give you a starting point to "pet proof" your home and yard and make them a safer place for your pet.

Bloat or GDV in dogs can be life threatening. While it mainly effects large breeds, small breed dogs can fall victim to it as well.

Knowing the vitamin and mineral requirements for your dog can help you in selecting the proper food to maintain your pet's good health.

Parasites and worms can often be the underlying cause of ill health in your dog. Fecal testing by your veterinarian can determine the type of worm(s) present in your pet.

There is no substitute for premium dog food. The cheaper brands are usually comprised of fillers (grains) and by-products which can lead to allergies in your pet. Confused by some of the terminology used in the product info on pet foods? Our pet food dictionary should help shed some light on this for you.
