How to get dog's attention.

We have all at one time or another watched a dog that was very intent on watching their owner or handler. Looking as if they would do anything to please them. We all may wonder, "What do they do to get their dog to do that?" It’s really much easier than most people would think. This article is about how to get your dog to do anything you want to. We will start with step one.

Health Screening of Dog

An ongoing goal of the Great Dane Health Foundation of America (GDHFA) is to offer a variety of material in order to help owners of pet dogs, as well as breeding dogs, ensure the health and well being of their animals. Our primary commitment is to raise funds that will help support research into the many diseases affecting the Great Dane breed.

Food Allergy or Food Intolerance

Many people confuse food allergies and food intolerances, which may sometimes appear to be the same, but are actually very different. A food intolerance will often cause a digestive 'upset' of some sort, such as vomiting or diarrhea. A food allergy, on the other hand, causes an immune system reaction when the offending protein/substance is introduced.

Canine Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an ancient healing art which has been practiced since before recorded history. The past decades have seen a resurgence of this therapy, both for humans and more recently, for animals. Although equine massage has been practiced through the centuries, canine massage is relatively new.

What’s the Big Deal About the Little Thyroid?

That is a question that many of us have been asking lately. The following is a list of clinical signs of hypothyroidism compiled by W. Jean Dodds, DVM. It originally appeared in ROTT N CHATTER, October 1992, V.1, N.3, and November 1992, V.1, N.4 (may be reproduced). Once you realize how broad the problems can be, you may want to learn more about this little gland!

The Medical Management of Osteoarthritis

The management of Osteoarthritis (also known as OA, Degenerative Joint Disease) continues to be a very common therapeutic dilemma for the small animal veterinary practitioner. It has been estimated that approximately 8 million canines (or roughly 20% of the adult canine population) and 20% of cats over 12 years of age in the United States suffer from osteoarthritis.

Immune System & Disease Resistance

This article discusses the essential role of the immune system in maintaining the body’s overall general health and resistance to disease. The focus will be on environmental factors or events which may cause or trigger immune dysfunction leading to either immune deficiency or immune stimulation (reactive or autoimmunity).

Cherry Eye ~ Prolapse of The Tear Gland of The Third Eyelid

The normal canine eye receives its tear film from two lacrimal (tear-producing) glands. One gland is located above the eye and the other is found within the animal's third eyelid. The gland of the third eyelid contributes a significant portion of secretion to the tear film.

Canine Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome

New more invasive strains of streptococci have recently appeared, resulting in frightening new diseases in both humans and dogs. Both humans and dogs can develop streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, with the rapid development of symptoms of shock, high fever (104 to 107 degrees Fahrenheit), cough, abnormalities of coagulation and rapid death.

Bloat ~ The Mother of All Emergencies

There are many injuries and physical disorders which represent life-threatening emergencies. There is only one condition so drastic that it over shadows them all in terms of rapidity of consequences and effort in emergency treatment. This is the gastric dilatation and volvulus - the"bloat."
