Well, if that is what you are used to, then you probably should take more care next time. Although dogs have adapted humans' eating habits, there are a lot of fruits and vegetables that you shouldn’t allow them to take in. What Fruits and Vegetables Can Your Dog Eat? Are you interested in knowing these foods? Read on to find out! In this article, we have compiled a list of at least ten vegetables and ten fruits that can either be safe or unsafe for your dog's health. Be sure to revisit this article in case you need more clarification before feeding your dog. Let’s get into it! Eatable and Non-Eatable Fruits To Dogs Avocado I love avocado and I can either eat them plain or add to other delicacies. Although it might seem like a perfect addition to your dog's food, avocado is not ideal for your pet’s health. Persin, a toxin contained in the fruit, causes diarrhoea and vomiting in dogs. Banana This is one of the sweetest fruits around for humans. Fortunately, you can share them with your dog. It is an ideal treat primarily due to high amounts of nutrients which include fiber, vitamins, copper and potassium. All these are essential for the growth of your pet. You should, however, not include it in your dog's main diet because of the amount of sugar. Apple apple seeds Do you love apples? Chances are you have once shared it with your dog. But is it safe? The answer is yes! Your dog can eat an apple and digest it without any significant problem. Their low proteins make them perfect for older dogs. However, before you go on and feed your dog, make sure that you remove all the seeds from the fruit. Blueberries Wondering whether blueberries are safe for your dog? Well, they are an ideal source of phytochemicals and antioxidants. The latter helps in the prevention of cell damage in both canines and humans. Therefore, blueberries can be eaten by dogs without any complications occurring. Since it is a treat, do not let the amount exceed 10%, of the regular diet. This way, you will have a healthy friend in your home. Cantaloupe Cantaloupe can be a great addition to your dog's daily diet. Similar to blueberries, this fruit helps reduce the risk of cell damage. Additionally, the chemicals it contains can also prevent cancer. Is your dog struggling with eyesight? A regular treat of cantaloupe could help with that. However, do not let your dog feed on cantaloupe rind because its tough nature can cause complications. Cherries Cherries As for cherries, it is quite complicated, but if you want a short answer, then that will be a "no." The fleshy part is safe for your dog to eat because it does not have any harmful chemicals. The rest of the fruit, however, have cyanide, a toxin that may disrupt the transportation of oxygen across cells. As such, the red blood cells will be starved of oxygen. Usually, after consumption of cherries, your dog will show some symptoms such as red gums, breathing difficulties, and dilated gums. If this happens, make sure to visit your vet as soon as possible. Grapes Although they may seem a perfect fit for your dog's diet, grapes may lead to fatal health problems for your dog.  A 10-pound dog may experience some of the worst effects with an in ingestion of as little as one grape. Such symptoms include kidney failure and could lead to death if not treated soon enough. Therefore, always be wary of what your dog puts in its mouth. Cranberries It is safe to feed your dog on cranberries as there are no reports of any fatal impacts. It is, however, not a favourite treat for all dogs. Some may like it fresh, while others will prefer dried cranberries. Either way, it is essential to ensure that you give your dog small amounts. Excessive use of these fruits may also become toxic. Cucumbers With no fats, oils, and carbohydrates, cucumbers could be an ideal fruit for your overweight dog. They have several vitamins including B1, K, and C and minerals such as copper and potassium. Apart from these nutrients, cucumbers also ensure that your dog remains strong by boosting its energy levels. If your dog is used to chewing cucumbers, let it continue doing so as it is advantageous to its health.a Mango Who does not like mangoes? Nothing beats the refreshing feeling of cold mango juice, or at least in my opinion. The good thing is that they are safe for your dog to feed on, and you can occasionally add them to your dog's diet. The coating, however, contain cyanide (though in small amounts) which could be dangerous to your dog's wellbeing. Therefore, make sure to remove the coating before giving it to your dog. Also, mangoes are very rich in sugar hence regular consumption is not recommended. Oranges Another set of popular fruits which everyone has at least had a taste. They are also quite safe for your dog as there are no toxins contained in them. Oranges contain huge amounts of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. The disadvantage, however, is the strong smell of the citrus. Not all dogs are fans of such smells but if they like it, then it is a tasty treat. Remember to remove the peel as it will do no good to the dog’s digestive system. Peaches Loaded with plenty of vitamins, peaches are one of the best treats you could give to your dog. The pit, however, has cyanide which is toxic for your pet. Nonetheless, this is something you can easily deal with as the fruit as more advantages to your dog’s health. Canned peaches have a lot of sugars which might not be ideal for your pet’s overall  health. Pears How about pears? You may ask. Well, like most of the fruits in this list, pears are very safe for a dog’s consumption. Before you start preparing pears for your dog, please confirm its medical history. If it has been diagnosed with diabetes, it will be a good thing to forget about the fruit for your dog’s sake. However, if it is not diabetic, you can share the fruit but in small amounts since some of its parts may contain small amounts of cyanide. Raspberries Another berry in our list is raspberry and it can be eaten by any dog without any health repercussions. The advantage is that apart from being rich in fiber, vitamin C, and manganese, they do not have too much calories and sugars. As such, they are ideal for aging dogs since they can also help nourish the aging joints. Again, ensure that you moderate the amount of raspberries taken in by your dog for health safety purposes. Strawberries Strawberries are safe for consumption but should be eaten in small amounts because of high levels of sugar. The most unique property of these fruits is the enzyme that helps whiten the teeth. Tomatoes tomatoes Although it is one of the most consumed fruits by humans, tomatoes should not be given to dogs. Except for a completely ripe tomato, the green areas have solanine which is quite toxic for your pet. We recommend that you do not risk feeding them with this fruit as you wouldn’t want to deal with whatever issues that may arise. Watermelon I bet you have tried this fruit before, whether you like it or not is a different thing. Dogs can also have a taste of this fruit without necessarily experiencing any complications. Ensure that you give them the flesh alone as the outer coat may be a risk to the digestive system. Edible and Non-Edible Vegetables For Dogs Spinach Let us kick off this list with a popular green vegetable. Spinach is safe for your dog, and you can include it in their daily food. However, the high amounts of oxalic acid make excessive use of this vegetable quite dangerous. The issues that may arise after this include kidney failure, which result from the body's inability to absorb calcium. But if you consider all these effects while preparing spinach for your dog, it might be one of the best vegetable options. Peas All types of peas ranging from English peas to green peas are safe for your dog. Like most of the fruits and vegetables in this list, moderation is significant. Although it is rich is several minerals, vitamins, and protein, overconsumption can be disastrous. Also, try to avoid canned peas and opt for either fresh or frozen ones. Onions onion and garlic Avoid onions as much as possible for the sake of your pet's wellbeing. They contain Allium toxin, which is very dangerous and can be fatal to your dog. Some of the repercussions that come with eating onions include rupturing of red blood cells, diarrhoea, vomiting. Therefore, it is vital that you keep your dogs away from this vegetable; otherwise, it could be disastrous. Asparagus Another vegetable to be avoided is the asparagus. Your dog can safely eat this vegetable, but some things make them risky. It is quite tough when raw and should be cooked for it to soften. However, cooked asparagus does not provide quite enough benefits to your dog. Therefore, instead of too much hustle, we recommend that you consider other vegetables that we have included in our list. Broccoli Broccoli is one of the most popular vegetable added in typical delicacies. As you enjoy your lunch or dinner, have you ever thought whether it is safe to welcome your dog? Well, the answer is yes, dogs can eat broccoli without any problems. It is, however, best if it comes as an occasional treat rather than a daily diet. Broccoli contains vitamin C and fibre; it is also low in fat. You may also want to skip the stalks as they have been known to be one of the causes of obstruction in the oesophagus. Brussels Sprouts The most important properties of brussels sprouts include the antioxidants. These are useful in fighting and preventing infections, and the nutrients contained in these vegetables help support the course. However, too much of brussels sprouts could end up causing discomfort to your dog's abdominal area due to gases. If you opt for cabbages, then the advantages and disadvantages are quite similar. Carrots If you have a rabbit as your pet, then you must have noticed that carrots are their favourite vegetables. But what about your dogs? Can they also eat carrots? Yes, they can boost their health substantially. Carrots are best known for their vitamin A and significant role in eyesight improvement. Most dogs like eating them because of the crunching feel which is not only fun but also exercises the teeth. Celery If you are looking for an all in one veggie with vitamins A, B, and C, then celery is your best option. It is safe for your dog, and apart from the vitamins, it also improves the health of your pet's heart as well as fight cancerous cells. They can also improve the breath of your dog, which is crucial to its hygiene. Green Beans Looking for other veggies that can be eaten by dogs? Try green beans which contain all sorts of nutrients necessary for the growth of your puppy. Celery also has minimal amounts of calories, which makes it also ideal for older dogs. Apart from this, another advantage is that it can be served while steamed, raw, chopped, or even canned. Mushrooms mushrooms Are you a fan of mushrooms? Well, regardless of your thoughts on these veggies, you should not let your dog feed on them. There are many species of mushrooms, and nearly all of them are toxic to your dog. They may lead to fatal conditions or even – in rare situations – to death.

Using the right dog-walking gear can help you with this. For instance, a harness could be exactly what your pup needs.

Why a Harness Might be Your Best Option?

When it comes to walking your pup on a leash, you have two choices before you – harness or collar. Both options have their own pros and cons, so there is no ultimate answer to which of these two is better. It all depends on your dog’s personality, as well as your own preferences. That said, let’s talk a bit about some of the biggest advantages of using a dog harness.
  • It’s really comfy for the dog – A harness will spread the weight evenly across his chest, so when he pulls, it won’t hurt him much. If you used a collar instead, pulling vigorously could hurt him, potentially causing neck/throat injuries.
  • It’s really safe – Sure, you could try to reduce the risk of injuries caused by dog collars by making it looser, but that way, you will increase the risk that he might slip away. Believe it or not, when your pup is motivated enough, he can get pretty sneaky and find a way to release himself from his collar.
  • A dog harness puts you in charge – Another advantage of a harness over a dog collaris that it makes it easier for you to stay in control. When the leash is attached to the collar, it allows him to change his direction whenever and wherever he feels like it.
  • It makes walks easier for the dog – We’re not yet done with talking about the advantages of a dog harness. Another thing that makes it an awesome choice is the fact that harnesses can be of a lot of help to a tired dog. If your pup is low on energy after a long walk, you can help him out by pulling up the harness.
  • It makes the dog go forward – With a dog harness, it is not that easy to spin around by 180 degrees. Actually, it’s almost impossible for him to rotate his body on the spot because his center of gravity is upfront and that’s where the harness strap is.

What’s So Great About Front-Clip Dog Harnesses?

We’ve mentioned that a harness is a great choice for those dog owner’s whose pup likes to pull forward with all his strength. In this case, even a regular harness is better than a dog collar. Still, if you want to take it to a whole new level, we say go for a front-clip harness. Also known as no-pull harnesses, they have clips upfront rather than above his shoulders. Why is this so important? It’s physics really – your dog’s center of gravity is upfront, which means that when he tries to pull vigorously forward, this kind of harness will make him turn around. Instead, the only way for him to go straight is to take it easy. Sure, at first, you can be sure it’s going to be weird for him, but once he gets used to it, he’ll become a dog that walks slowly and elegantly. Due to this fact, these types of harnesses are often the choice of those whose pups are just learning how to walk on a leash. A front-clip harness will help you teach him to walk slowly, without any pulling or tugging. And once he masters this skill, you will be able to use a back-clip harness or even a dog collar to take him for a walk.  

Are There Any Advantages to Choosing a Dog Collar?

Of course there are! Otherwise, no one would ever use them. So, which advantages are we talking about? Here are a couple of them:
  • Easy to put on – You need literally only a few seconds to put a collar on your dog; that’s not the case with harnesses. If your pup is a restless little devil, putting on a harness could be really challenging.
  • No need to take it off – There really is no need to put the collar on every time you take him for a walk, only to take it off when the walk is over. You can leave it on him all Jack Russell Dog Smile the time. You can’t do this with a harness, because it could make him feel uncomfortable after a while.
  • A dog collar will make him look nice – A harness can be big and cover a large part of your pup’s back, hiding his shiny fur from the eyes of passersby.
  • Price – The fact is that dog collars are cheaper than harnesses. It’s obvious why that’s the case. They’re smaller, meaning that less material is used for making them.

Picking the Right Harness/Collar for Your Dog

As you can see for yourself, both solutions have their own advantages, but one thing is certain, if the collar/harness isn’t the right size, your pup won’t feel comfortable. And it’s your dog’s wellbeing that matters the most, after all. For instance, if a harness is too small, it will be tight on your dog. And that would put a lot of pressure on his chest and front legs, causing him pain and discomfort. If the harness you pick is too large, it is guaranteed to make walking difficult for him. Rottweiler Amstaff Dog –  The good news is that most harnesses you can find in your local pet store are probably adjustable. Still, if you want to play it safe, our advice is to look for products designed specifically for your pup’s breed. For example, if he’s a French bulldog, you should look for a Frenchie harness; if he’s a German shepherd, look for a harness made for this breed. You get the picture…     ================================================================================================================ https://buzzsharer.com/2019/04/09/rare-apartment-pet-amenities-want/   https://buzzsharer.com/2019/04/17/3-positive-effects-dog-therapy-student-academic-results/  ]]> Dog Abby12 https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/harness-vs-collar-one-better-dog/ Why It Is a Great Idea to Have Your Dog as a Workout Partner https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/great-idea-dog-workout-partner/ Tue, 11 Dec 2018 21:56:13 +0000 Managing your own exercise regime and then making sure that your dog receives enough exercise can be very hectic. Hiring a dog walker will cost you extra dollars, which can be spent elsewhere. Why not just create a workout routine that benefits both you and your pet? A dog are not just a man’s best friend, it can also be a great workout partner if you know how to execute your exercise routine effectively.

Benefits of working out with your dog:

  • It will improve the physical health of both you and your dog by countering obesity, improving blood circulation, decreasing the risk of heart disease and more.
  • It will improve the mental health of both you and your pet as exercise is known to stimulate the release of endorphins and other hormones, which increase happiness, reduce stress and counter depression.
  • It will improve the bond between you and your pet as you will not only be spending more time together but it can also act as an opportunity for you to work on your pet’s behavior and obedience.
  • It will keep you motivated as dogs are little balls of energy that love exercise and have a way of getting their owner to chase after them.
  • It will be safer for you to work out with your dog than it is to work out alone. Dogs can immediately sense when there is something wrong or if their owners are in any sort of danger. In case you have a workout accident or medical emergency, you loyal pet is bound to alert someone.
  • It will be cheaper than getting a gym membership for yourself and paying a dog walker to exercise your pet.
  Aside from these handful of benefits, there are many more reasons why it is a great idea to start exercising with your pet. On the other hand, having a human workout companion might make you suffer more. Dogs don’t cancel on plans, nor do they complain. Dogs are much more reliable companions than most humans.  

What activities you can do together:

There are a number of ideas you will come across on the internet which you can take inspiration from for your workout routine. You will find a number of activities you can do with your pet, like turning exercises into games, and even classes that you can join together. However, don’t be intimidated with all the ideas you find online. We compiled a list of some common activities you can do with your furry workout partner to save you from an information overload and confusion.  
  • Go on a hike or go on nature walks to get fresh air, clear your mind, bask in the beauty of nature and get light exercise
  • Try brisk walking or jogging but be sure that you two can maintain the same pace so no one is dragging the other
  • Play catch to help tone your arms while your dog runs around having fun
  • Going for a swim will not only help you burn some fat and allow your dog to have much needed exercise, but it will also allow you to polish your swimming skills
Developing a workout routine might initially sound like a hard task, and it could even turn into a tug of war or a total disaster if you have an untrained dog. However, once you and your dog get the hang of it, it will become a fun set of activities that you both can do together.  ]]> Dog Anonymous https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/great-idea-dog-workout-partner/ Cannabis and your pets https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/cannabis-and-your-pets/ Thu, 06 Dec 2018 08:53:47 +0000 I used CBD Oil for my dogs when we go to our Vet.

]]> Dog Anonymous https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/cannabis-and-your-pets/ The Latest on CBD for Pet Anxiety and Pain https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/latest-cbd-pet-anxiety-pain/ Tue, 20 Nov 2018 22:38:16 +0000 Veterinary Examining Board of Wisconsin is preparing a statement as I write this to the effect that  there are  no legal uses for cannabis and related products in veterinary medicine, in Wisconsin, by veterinarians or veterinary clinics. However, when it comes to veterinary practitioners, it is important to be knowledgeable of the academic and veterinary attitudes as well as the laws in place when it comes to CBD oil. Recently, within the veterinary community, there has been an increase in discussion into the issue of using CBD oil to treat pets. Studies have even been published on what CBD oil may have to offer the veterinary community. CBD for Pet Anxiety and Pain

What Is CBD Oil, and Is It Legal?

Is medical hemp a product that is related to cannabis? It would seem to be. Hemp is NOT cannabis, which is where much of the confusion lies. Hemp is a selectively bred variety of the cannabis sativa plant that contains less than 0.3% THC (per dry weight). Cannabidiol (CBD) comes from both hemp as well as from cannabis that has a much higher THC content. Hemp is federally legal in all states, while CBD is still a Schedule I drug under federal law, although it is legal in some states. Products with less than 0.3% THC (like CBD oil, tinctures, gel capsules and treats) are legal in all 50 states, and our clients are buying them. This puts veterinarians in a bit of a catch-22 to be informed on CBD, but unable to provide consultation to our clients on the issue due to legal restrictions of cannabis in general.

The Veterinarian CBD Oil Conundrum

The AVMA explains, “To date, 29 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana for people, yet veterinarians are prohibited from administering, prescribing, dispensing or recommending cannabis for their patients.” Despite these current restrictions, it is still important for veterinarians to be informed about the scientific developments of CBD oil and other cannabis derivatives. This is because, as veterinarians, we are the only ones who are sufficiently trained to recognize the value and benefits of these products and to evaluate the possible side effects. Most importantly, we are, by oath, obligated to help your pet, but above all, “do no harm.” Another reason why veterinarians should be informed is that regardless of the veterinary rules about CBD oil, pet parents are purchasing it in hopes of it offering health benefits for their pets. To be clear: All that I am advocating at this juncture is education and becoming informed on the endocannabinoid system that all mammals possess, not the use of THC or CBD products, nor the prescribing of medical hemp (unless it is legal in your state). The endocannabinoid system is a system of receptors that every organ has. These receptors affect a variety of physiological processes, including appetite, pain sensation, mood and memory.

Recent CBD Oil Developments

There are four recent developments that will hopefully lead to more clarity. 1. Cornell University published the first medical hemp veterinary study at a major teaching hospital on July 23, 2018. It was conducted by a very highly regarded team of experts and led by Joe Wakshlag MS, DVM, PhD, DACVN, DACVSMR. The study shows good results in treating canine osteoarthritis and notes that there were no real side effects, except for an increase in alkaline phosphatase during the CBD treatment. 2. Cornell University is currently conducting a study that will focus more on the interaction between CBD oil and felines, while Colorado State University is working on a study that will be examining the role of CBD oil in the treatment of anxiety and seizures in dogs. This will also bring a little more clarity to the dosing of CBD products. Marijuana Leaves Cannabis 3. The company behind ElleVet—the product used in the Cornell study—is also doing a feline osteoarthritis study. This study has my attention, as we have very few drugs safe for long-term use in cats with osteoarthritis, and with 90 percent of cats at 10 years of age suffering from this disease, this is a big deal! There are three more clinical trials starting this fall with Dr. Wakshlag and the University of Florida in seizures, oncology and post-operative (TPLO) pain. 4. Epidiolex, a hemp isolate, was just approved by the FDA for seizures in children on June 25, 2018. The FDA just recently (September 27, 2018) placed Epidiolex in Schedule V of the Controlled Substances Act, the least restrictive category. It is the first cannabis/hemp product to not fall under the Schedule I Controlled Substances category. This means that technically, veterinarians could enlist it for “off-label” use, as we do many other FDA medications. While this means that we could prescribe a “cannabis-related product,” we likely wouldn’t because of the expense and because there is no published study using this isolate in pets. But the fact is that we could, according to the FDA, except if it conflicts with our state licensing, which is on a state-by-state basis. This kind of confusion permeates most medical hemp-related discussions between veterinarians and other interested parties across the country at this moment.

So What Does This All Mean for Pet Parents?

Until we, as veterinarians, are allowed to openly discuss medical hemp, where can a consumer go to get reliable more information on current CBD safety and research information on pets? ConsumerLab.com has a longstanding commitment to impartiality and independent testing CBD FOR DOGSof any supplement. They have a full discussion, complete with references,  which among other things, includes a strong warning to avoid synthetic forms. They also clearly state the huge variation in levels between products and the price of a “dose.” As CBD is currently found in over-the-counter supplements that have no regulation, it is imperative to have third-party testing. That said, we have no way of knowing effective dosing unless a study is able to use a predictable product that can be mass-produced consistently. Thus, it seems the FDA’s trend towards favoring isolates over full-spectrum because they can be mass-produced consistently.

Things to Consider:

 

Quality Control

This is probably the most difficult issue, according to the formulators I spoke with at the AVMA conference in Denver in July 2018. There over a dozen CBD-related lectures  that were very well attended and had Marijuana for petlively discussion. They all explained that there are CBD isolates and full-spectrum products. Each product should have a certificate showing exactly where it was grown and what it contains. An Indiana law will soon require QR codes that link to a certificate.

Dosing and Safety

Full-spectrum is generally thought to be more powerful than isolates—which follows the trend of “start low and go slow.” Most products have a recommended starting “dose,” but without research, they are only guesses. Cornell University did a long-term safety study and pharmacokinetic study on both dogs and cats to determine safety and accurate dosing. They determined the half-life in dogs and cats and are able to accurately dose.

Can Veterinarians Talk About It?

The Veterinary Information Network (VIN) has a long discussion on what veterinarians in other states can and cannot do regarding CBD. The article states: Of 2,131 respondents, 63 percent said they are asked by clients at least monthly—and some weekly or daily about cannabis products for their pets. Most veterinarians answering the survey said they have never been the ones to initiate the discussion.   On Sept 27, 2018, California became the first and only state where it is specifically legal for veterinarians to talk about cannabis. It does NOT allow veterinarians to administer or dispense it. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, I am still not clear whether I am able to discuss OTC hemp products with less than 0.3% THC!

Future Challenges

The DEA stance on classification, referenced from the Epidiolex classification press release, is: Marijuana and CBD derived from marijuana remain against the law, except for the limited circumstances that it has been determined there is a medically approved benefit. In those instances, such as here, the drug will be made appropriately available to the public for medical use. The FDA does not regulate supplements, so how will the issue of quality control be monitored for all of the other hemp-related products? Again, the only reliable resource I am aware of for quality control is ConsumerLab.com, and for effectiveness and duration of action, there are strong peer-reviewed veterinary studies. The more we can collectively open up the channels of funding and research, the more quickly we will know about the benefits and side effects of CBD oil and hemp for pets. Dispensaries in states where cannabis is legal must have certified cannabis counselors.In Washington State for example, these counselors are allowed to describe the risks and benefits of different methods for using products, show how to properly use products, and answer questions about the medical marijuana law. They are NOT allowed to provide medical advice, diagnose any conditions or recommend changing current treatment(s) in place of marijuana. These people are NOT trained for veterinary use of these products. Valerie Fenstermaker, executive director of California Veterinary Medical Association, submitted more information on this  best when she says (speaking before the vote on medicinal marijuana), "We have dispensaries selling these products and nobody ... outside of a veterinary professional should be giving advice about using these products in animals."

A Veterinarian's Advice

My advice is to schedule a pain-management, seizure or pet anxiety consultation with your veterinarian to discuss all options you have for those problems. For example, many chronic pain conditions can be treated very effectively with existing drugs and modalities. That includes integrative/alternative therapies like laser, acupuncture, off-label use of human medications (like gabapentin, amantadine and for short-term pain, tramadol) or sometimes just a good weight-management program. There are also fish oil supplements and glucosamine chondroitin sulfate supplements that have undergone independent testing for effectiveness. Vet Dog Images  Veterinarians are the only ones specifically trained to advise you on the safety of all modalities and drugs for your pets, their interactions and side effects, so they need to be informed to counsel you on anything you give to your pet. Read all you can and share more information with your veterinarian. Help us fight for the ability to discuss openly and research hemp for pets in products with less than 0.3% THC. Always be aware of the “wild west aspect of this area right now. Look for references, follow the researchers I have named here and encourage new research, as that is the only way credibility can be assured. Stay tuned for developments, as they are happening almost daily.   By Dr. Ken Lambrecht, DVM Dr. Ken Lambrecht is medical director and owner of West Towne Veterinary Center in Madison, Wisconsin, an AAHA-accredited and Gold-Level Cat-Friendly-certified practice. ======================================================= Related  Articles https://buzzsharer.com/2018/08/21/cbd-for-dogs-myth-or-miracle/ https://buzzsharer.com/2018/10/24/look-bluebird-charlotte-cbd-hemp-oil-coupon-code-pets-needs/]]> Dog Anonymous https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/latest-cbd-pet-anxiety-pain/ 510 Popular Female Dog Names. https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/510-popular-female-dog-names-increasing/ Wed, 14 Nov 2018 00:20:22 +0000 Before you fill the birth certificate, you might want to visit Buzzsharer.com where we have put together, over 500 popular female dog  names from around the world .

That is, the planet is surrounded by an air mass, which under the influence of gravity is pressing on any object, including the human body, and the bodies of all living creatures. This force is called the pressure of the atmosphere. Measurement of atmospheric pressure is made by a special instrument - a barometer. Barometer readings help to accurately find out the current indicator of atmospheric pressure, as well as to predict the possible weather changes.

The States of Atmospheric Pressure You Should Know About

As is known, atmospheric pressure is constantly changing. Its cyclic changes are associated with daily, annual, seasonal and other cycles in natural meteorological processes. Noncyclic changes are observed in the formation and destruction of cyclones and anticyclones.

Low Atmospheric Pressure

Lowering of the atmospheric pressure is not common, but under certain conditions, it can lead to very serious consequences, called "altitude sickness", which is based on oxygen starvation of tissues, in which the level of carbon dioxide begins to increase catastrophically. Vessels of all organs (with the exception of the heart and brain) react to hypercapnia (increased concentration of carbon monoxide) by spasm, significantly increasing the pressure in a large circle of blood circulation. This situation is typical for farm animals that live in mountainous areas. In order to prevent critically poor animal health, they move to higher pastures and back at a slow pace. So they manage to adapt.

High Atmospheric Pressure

The increase in atmospheric pressure per se is not dangerous for the organism and, if certain safety rules are followed, does not cause even discomfort, and all processes are reduced to the accumulation of air gases (mainly nitrogen) in tissues and blood (the so-called compression stage).

How Pressure and Weather Affect Animals

Atmospheric pressure significantly affects the climate, and its fluctuations cause a significant change in the weather. At high atmospheric pressure, there is usually good weather - cloudless sky, dry air and lack of strong wind. Low pressure, on the contrary, is accompanied by cloudiness, precipitation, fog formation, and therefore adversely affects animals. Frequent changes in weather have a negative effect on the health and productivity of animals. Raw, cold weather contributes to the occurrence of colds, hot weather leads to gastrointestinal, invasive and infectious diseases.

The Role of Atmospheric Pressure in Animal Life

The direct effect of atmospheric pressure on living organisms has so far been poorly studied, although there is no doubt that it is significant. This is because, firstly, living organisms are always forced to equalize the internal hydrostatic pressure with the external atmospheric pressure. Using the example of a human, one can see that in the event of a failure in the physiological mechanisms responsible for this process, fairly widespread pathological conditions arise, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypotension (low). On the other hand, the absolute amount of oxygen contained in the same volume of air depends on atmospheric pressure. The combination of these two actions of atmospheric pressure lies, in particular, in the basis of the so-called mountain sickness, which develops when people without preparation get from a lowland area low above sea level to high altitude conditions, where the atmosphere with rising up is more and more rarefied. Naturally, living organisms can respond to long-term changes in atmospheric pressure by adaptive physiological changes in the body. The results of studies of organisms adaptations to living in the mountains speak directly about this. Thus, atmospheric pressure has a significant impact on animals and birds. When the conditions change, the body reacts, which leads to a decrease in potential productivity and product quality (this is relevant for farm animals).

Fish Behavior: The Most Revealing Example

The atmospheric pressure affects primarily the change in the density of water. With increasing pressure, the density of water rises, and its level becomes slightly less. When the pressure is lowered, the picture is reversed. In both cases, the fish are forced to find that level of water (depth) on which they will feel comfortable. In this case, the fish undergoes a short period of adaptation, during which it stops eating. Large fish specimens Discus Fish Fauna Symphysodon react to changes in atmospheric pressure most painfully. It happens that for several days, the pressure jumps abruptly. In such periods the fish does not have time to adapt to constantly changing conditions, and is forced to refuse to search for food. Accordingly, it does not make sense to go fishing at this moment. Atmospheric pressure acquires the greatest value in the life of fish in winter. Cold water in winter acquires the greatest density. The fish require a lot of energy to overcome the resistance of "dense" water. High atmospheric pressure only aggravates the situation. A smooth decrease in pressure always leads to increased activity and biting. This period continues until another anticyclone coming.]]> Dog Anonymous https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/atmospheric-pressure-impact-animals/ Modern Pet Stores Surviving the Digital Business Wave https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/modern-pet-stores-surviving-digital-business-wave/ Sun, 26 Aug 2018 01:10:34 +0000 For The Furry – Modern Pet Store have survived by being creative and doing things that even online pet stores cannot do. There are many possibilities here, and it is up to you to explore all of your options. However, we will look at some of the more lucrative ones. All you have to do is think back to the days when brick-and-mortar pet stores used to be all the rage. What would they do to bring in patrons?

A Pet Store Needs Animals

Human beings love animals. We love to look at them and pet them, and we are attracted to a pet store with plenty of animals. The more exotic, the better. It will take some extra work to take care of these animals, but you can count on people coming in regularly to see them. While they’re there, they will, of course, buy things. Big attention getters include hedgehogs, foxes, snakes, and other reptiles. You should also consider having a mascot for your store. It could be your personal pet cat or dog, a bunny or an entertaining parrot. Consider even opening an Instagram page for the mascot to keep your loyal customers updated about its life. People love that.

Stock What Is Not Available Online

With the rising popularity of raw foods and natural foods, this is an excellent opportunity for you to offer things people won’t be able to find online so easily. Pet owners are increasingly concerned with their pets’ health and, in the process, will seek pet foods that are of high quality. You can take advantage of this trend and stock up on fresh pet food. Also, make sure you know everything there is to know about the pet foods and can answer your customers’ questions.

Add a Personal Touch

You won’t get much of the personal touch with online stores. At the very best, they

will install chatbots on their sites to chat with customers. However, these may still lack the warmth of human conversation. As a brick-and-mortar pet store, having staff with an intimate understanding of the products you sell and the knowledge to answer any questions the customers throw at them will likely prove to be your strongest asset. Your customers will likely ask questions about such things as products, behavior, training, foods and so on. Make sure to train your staff and prepare them to be friendly and helpful while assisting your customers.]]> Dog Anonymous https://buzzsharer.com/community/dog/modern-pet-stores-surviving-digital-business-wave/
