Dog Health: Canine Heart Disease

Heart disease with dogs is quite common. Your dog's vet can detect heart disease by:

• Hearing an abnormal sound through their stethoscope during a routine examination.
• Examining your dog after noticing your dog has slowed down, is coughing, having a problem with exercise, fainting, or having trouble breathing.

Often times, what dog owners see as a sudden change has actually been building up over a period of time. Some other things to look for are:

• Changes in weight
• Not feeling well

If you have limited funds, the most valuable money should be spent when assessing this condition is usually for a echocardiogram along with an experience vet who knows to read one. This will give you the most accurate diagnosis in the long run and allow your vet to quickly determine the best medical solution.

Preparing For Your New Puppy

Let's face it - whenever you bring a new puppy home, your house needs to be ready for the onslaught of running, jumping, and the chewing from its new arrival. The first thing you should do is make your home safe for puppy. To begin with, start him off with a small contained safe area. Ensure that all the doors to the kids' rooms are closed for awhile. The best thing to do is make good use of baby gates so that the contained area can be expanded.

In the parts of the house that you have left, it is a good idea to get down on your hands and knees to observe what the puppy will observe. Be sure you get all the things such as electrical chords all of his reach. If you think about toddler proofing, then you should have the right idea.

The second thing you need to do is to make a list of items that will be needed. Here's a list to get you started:

• Brush or comb
• Chew Toys
• Dishwasher-safe, nonchewable bowls (2)
• Pet Stain Cleaner
• Flat or rolled collar
• High-quality puppy food
• Lightweight leash - about 6 feet long
• Nail trimmer and Kwik Stop powder
• Pooper scooper and plastic bags
• Proper sized shipping crate for house-training
• Puppy shampoo
