My dog ran away. What do I do? Where do I start looking? Could he have been hit by a car? Will he be scared and bite? So many questions, and such little time to panic. You need to be smart in this stressful situation. One of the biggest fears I have is my dog…

Note: This is my personal experience, and as such, I’ve posted pictures of dog bite wounds that might be gross to some readers. (Read at your own risk of being sick to your stomach!!!) On March 17th 2019, the Luck of the Irish was not with me. Brody, the fear aggressive Bull Mastiff that lives…

I have a great tip for you today. If you shop on Amazon, you could be helping your favorite local or national pet charity by using Amazon Smile. “AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the…

But do dogs really smile? It’s not as easy to answer as you may think.

When we were a family of three plus two dogs and a cat living in a small townhouse, space was of the essence. I didn’t really want to keep the dogs in crates in the unfinished basement, but we really didn’t have room anywhere else for their crates. Enter Primetime Petz. They have a line…

Meet Ace, the speed eater. His main joy in life is eating. Doesn’t matter what. And the quicker he can eat it, the better; it means the more he can eat! He will finish his food first for the chance of vacuuming the scraps of his brothers and sisters. As you may know, dogs that…

I wanted this to work so, so bad. Our puppy – like all puppies – needs to put her teeth on everything. (Related: What Can You Give A Small Puppy To Chew On.) As a homeowner, obviously there are some things that we’d prefer owning without gnarled teeth marks. This spray sounded like a…
