The Daily Dog Tip

  If you’ve got more than one dog, be very careful when you return from the vet with one of them if the others have stayed home. The dog that has been at the vet smells different from being there and it is not uncommon to see raised hackles or growls on the first return. You can avoid possible tense moments when reuniting your dogs if you let the dogs run loose in a wide open space so that they have room to get re-acquainted without things getting ugly.
