Is your dog’s water dish the toilet?

Does your dog prefer the toilet to its water dish?  Although it may disgust us, there is a good reason for the behavior.  Think about it this way.  You have two choices…  Option 1, you can have your choice of a dingy, little bowl of luke warm water that has been sitting for days or option 2, you can drink fresh, cool water from a nice porcelain dish and feel like a god…  Yep, I also chose 2.

Dog Bowls For Doggy Dining

drink. If you need to be away from your pet and no one is available to feed him, the Two Meal Automatic Pet Feeder is an ideal choice.  The automatic pet feeder allows you to set a timer for each meal so you won’t have to worry about your pet overeating. However, if you are able to travel with your dog the ABO Gear Dog Tucker Traveler is the perfect solution for your dog to dine out. It has a bag that can store or transport up to 15 pounds of food and a water resistant liner, and also contains bowls for food and water.

The American Leather No-Tip Stainless Steel Bowl cannot be spilled, and it is both rust resistant and chew resistant. The Ergo Auto Pet Feeder provides accurate control of the food with eight program settings and a horizontal auger system for moving the food into the feeding dish. The feeder is easy to fill and the clear storage container makes it easy to see how much food is in it. The bowl comes off easily for cleaning when necessary.  The next time you feed your dog, think about the many choices of dog bowls for their doggy dining pleasure.

Can You Prevent Dog Heat Stroke?

Dog heat stroke can happen very quickly on these hot summer days. With summer upon us, we need to remember that just like us, our dogs can become overheated if out in the sun too long.  This fact was brought to my attention just this morning when our Border Collie Pepper was helping us trail a herd of cattle home. We got a late start, the sun was already getting hot, and we were not yet close to home. The cows were resistant and even with the help of us on our horses, Pepper had her work cut out for her. Pepper was more than glad to have a ride back to the ranch, where she immediately lay down in a tub of cool water.

Dogs sometimes do not know enough to get out of the heat so it is important that we provide them with a shaded place to be when they are left outside. It is also important to keep fresh cool water available for them to drink; leaving a dish of water where the sun can reach it is not a good option. If you need to take your dog with you and it is hot out, be sure to take some extra drinking water along for them.  If your dog, like Pepper, gets too hot, be sure and take them in out of the sun and give them a bath in cool water. If they still seem unfit, take them to see your veterinarian right away. The best cure for dog heat stroke is prevention.
