Keep Your Dog Healthy With Homemade Dog Food Recipes By Stephen Alfred

Lets face it, do we really know what goes into the food that we feed to our dogs.Personally, I had no idea until I started doing a little research on exactly what goes into the making of dog food.After reading certain articles written by doctors, I was shocked to find out that most dog foods were all made with a variety of unhealthy chemicals. At this point it is clearly not a secret, but it again still needs to be pointed out to those people who are great animal lovers,with dogs being in particular. Having read this, I decided to go about doing a small amount of research on how I could go about making my own healthy homemade dog food, just to experiment and change my dogs diet. This is when I came across a website after a great deal of searching which was created by a doctor himself who was marketing his own dog food recipe book for dog owners.The guide contains some 250+ home made dog food recipes which exclude the usage of harmful products which are infamous for mineral deficiencies.

Just like I do,I'm sure most of you who care greatly for your dogs have probably spent hours talking to dog experts,as well as reading many books on dogs in order to get the sort of information available in this guide. So before you go and spend more money on expensive vets and other dog experts, do yourself a favour and take a look at my personal homepage which talks more about this dog food guide.I'm sure it will be worth your while to try this ebook, because by the time you have finished reading this guide, you will probably know more than the professionals know about what really makes a dog healthy.

Bearded Dragons Foods And Feeding - The Seven Foods You Must Keep Away From Your Bearded Dragon By Florian Ross

Feeding bearded dragons is quite simple and should give no problem to any bearded dragon owner. The type of food you feed your dragon can vary depending on its age. At the earlier stages of life a dragon will need more protein and fewer greens, but it is advisable to introduce greens as early as you can. If you shun these, your pet may not take to them later as it matures. Bearded Dragons are omnivorous - they eat bugs and vegetation.

Your dragon will feed only if both the food you give it and its body temperature are right and will not show any appetite if the conditions are wrong and even if it would show an appetite and feeds, it cannot digest the food if the temperature is wrong.

In good condition your bearded dragon should be a hearty eater and considering the importance of various conditions that influence its feeding and digestion, here is a short nutrition checklist:

- Pay attention to the health of insects you store for feeding your dragon.

- Wash greens / vegetables thoroughly.

- Adequate light and heat - both are vital for your bearded dragon's satisfactory food intake.

- Try and hand-feed insects to your dragon.

- Clear uneaten greens / vegetables from dragon's cage daily. Clean dish.

- Guard against vitamin A overdose.

- Gut-load insects before you feed them to your dragon.

- Choose younger prey because of its lower chitin content. - Supplement normal food with mineral (calcium) and vitamin additions.

- Make feeding age-appropriate.

- Chop greens and vegetables finely.

- Fasten suitable larger greens to a peg for your dragon to nibble.

- Match size of prey to size of your dragon's mouth. (Prey size half the width of the mouth)

- Offer water to your dragon through spraying, misting (greens and vegetables) and in dish.

Beside these, always remember to never-ever feed your dragon the items not recommended them (see the list bellow).

What not to feed your Beardie:

If you know what food you should be feeding your bearded dragon, you should also know that there are some things that you shouldn't feed them. If you accidentally feed your bearded dragon something from them, that is not poisonous, just watch him or her carefully for signs of illness. However, you'll want to call or take him to the vet immediately if he or she has ingested something poisonous. Here is a short lis what to watch for:

- Do not feed wild insects or insects found around the house to your Bearded Dragon. They may carry diseases that could be deadly to your pet.

- Lightning bugs (also known as fireflies) are deadly poisonous (they contain phosphorous).

- Avoid also spinach as calcium binds to it and will not be digested by your animal.

- Avoid feed citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits).

- Do not feed dog or cat food to your Dragon.

- Carrots should only be used as a treat though due to the high amounts of vitamin A. Any food with high amounts of vitamin A should be avoided, as reptiles do not absorb a lot of vitamin A.

- NEVER iceberg lettuce.

You should also take care not to over feed your dragon. Especially the adults will usually eat much more than they need and this can get them to overweight.

Even if bearded dragons are omnivorous eaters you should remember these simple rules that will help you feed your dragon.

Get Your Dog To Stop Whining On Your Command By Zane Madisson

Do you find the dog whine annoying? It is annoying to many people and you are not alone in your feelings. Dogs whine because it is a part of their nature to do so. They are trying to get your attention and this is one of the ways they can do that. Is your dog neglected by any chance? Does it lack some kind of shelter or protection? You should feed your dog on a regular basis and make sure it is clean. Overlooking any of these things can and will lead to problems.

A good thing to look out for is the moment your dog begins to act up. Try and see if the activity is the same when your dog whines. If this keeps happening, it must be something you are doing, or something related to the activity taking place. If the whining is taking place in a more random manner, then you might have a harder time trying to come up with a solution. Always make sure your dog has proper hygiene though.

Does it whine a lot or just a tiny bit? If your dog is whining all the time then something is seriously wrong. But hey, everyone and everything has their own mood and maybe your dog is just in one of its moods. That could certainly be one of the possibilities. One of the most common reasons the dog is whining is because it wants food, and it wants it now. You should try to stay clear of feeding your dog from the dinner table because this is going to set a bad precedent.

Canines need to eat their own kind of food, dog food specifically. But have no fear, as most of these problems are just plain old common sense. It really is amazing how many problems people do not pick up on. I hope this can be of some help to one of you out there. Take care and all the best.
