Geriatric dogs with arthritis can sometimes drag their legs which can also result in some cuts and scrapes on their paws. Dog booties are a great way to protect their feet. The best kind of booties are the ones that have a velcro strap that wrap multiple times around the leg. This ensures that the bootie will not flip or fall off, staying quite secure. |

Buying dog food is a big expense for most owners, costing upwards of $300 or more for a premium brand each year. Slashing costs on your pet’s food bill is possible, and you don’t have to sacrifice quality to do it.
Go Big- Buying pet food in bulk keeps a few extra dollars in your pocket. Make sure you store it properly, though, so it doesn’t spoil. Be Savvy- Visit manufacturer’s websites for downloadable coupons. But don’t stop there – shop around! Is your preferred brand cheaper in the store near your work? Or maybe the pet store in your hometown has better pricing. Ban Cans- It’s more economical to feed large dogs dry kibble. That’s because wet food is mostly made up of water so your pet needs more of it to receive all of his daily nutrients. Maryann Mott is a pet journalist and author.

If painting a room is on your summer to-do list, you don’t have to stick to glossy or semi-gloss finishes in order to easily wipe away those brown smudge marks from walls caused by the oil in your dog’s coat.
Many of today’s paint manufacturers, including Benjamin Moore, Dutch Boy and Glidden, produce washable flat finishes in a wide array of attractive colors that keep their original appearance even after scrubbing.

We all know the feeling of stepping barefoot onto hot pavement, and one word comes to mind: OUCH! Remember that your dog’s paws also experience the extreme summer heat and can take a beating when the mercury rises.
Protect those paws from the blistering sun, asphalt and sand. Make sure that after long walks, you give your pets paws a pampering by moisturizing with a soothing, all-natural paw balm. For minor burns, apply antibacterial wash and aloe vera and cover the paw with a loose bandage. For serious burns, visit your vet immediately. |

“Crude protein” in dog food is not necessarily that which can be digested and utilized by the dog’s body. It is not what most people think of as protein since it includes hooves, beaks and feathers, which are not ingredients a dog’s body can do anything with. |
