Some buzzwords in dog food and cat food these days are "Prebiotics" and "Probiotics." While these ingredients have been around for awhile, the use of Pre- and Probiotics is just starting to become popular to use in dog or cat food. Humans have used these ingredients to help aid the digestive system, and research now shows that dogs and cats can benefit from them, as well.
Traveling by car over the holidays with your dog can be a bit sketchy between the chaos which sometimes happens inside the car and the chaos that happens regularly on the streets. Keeping control over your dog outside of the car can be managed with a proper leash, but once inside the car some dogs will jump all over everything and everyone, adding to the stress.
Even on the best of days, my dog, Bailey, can go absolutely nuts when someone rings the doorbell. No matter what we try to do, he insists on barking at the front window, checking out the vehicle in the driveway and the person on the front stoop. For such a sweet puppy, he can sound pretty mean! That's why, on Halloween night, I'm going to take some safety precautions that will keep Bailey safe, as well as make trick-or-treating at our house a pleasant experience.
