1. Give treats, not scraps. Instead of offering dangerous table scraps or leftovers, give your dog an extra doggy treat instead. His favorite type of dog treat, a couple of carrots, frozen peanut butter in a treat toy, even an extra serving of his own kibble are all safe treats that will still give your dog a taste of holiday cheer.

2. No bones about it. Resist that urge to throw your dog a bone. According to Dr. Jules Benson, VP of Veterinary Services at Petplan Pet Insurance, turkey bones are soft and, like all fowl bones, are hollow, so they can splinter easily, causing damage and/or obstruction to your pet’s digestive tract.

3. Secure garbage. Every vet we spoke to said most often the dogs that come to the emergency room got there from getting into the garbage, where they ingest not only too much turkey, but also harmful things like bones, chocolate, plastic wrappers, etc. Keep the tempting garbage out of reach of your dog. The safest place is outside or in a room the dog is blocked from.

4. Holiday plants, a deadly beauty. Most of the indoor plants we like to decorate with during the holidays—poinsettias, mistletoe, holly, autumn crocus, Thanksgiving cactus—are toxic to pets. Keep these out of reach of your pet, or, better yet, buy fakes.

5. Get help. If your pet does ingest something, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (charges apply). Know which emergency vet clinics will be open during the holiday weekend and have their telephone number and address handy.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving! “

for this Christmas, and the prices have been slashed to make it easier on your pocket.

Can you imagine your precious dog acting the part of Santa Claus in his very Santa Paws Dog Suit? He would love to give you the gift of love.  Or would your baby like to be Mrs. Claus?  She will be adorable in this cute Mrs. Claus Dog Dress.  If you have a boy and  a girl, what a pair they would make in your Christmas celebration.  If you want to give a gift of a dog or just want your sweet dog to be the one who is the gift of love to you, you will like this Present Dog Sweater that looks like a present, even with a bow to tie it up.  If you want your pooch to shine, we have two sweaters with twinkling stars on them.  One is an Led twinkling star.  We have directions on how to use it too.  But if you want your dog to shine out, there is nothing like the Twinkling Star Dog Sweater.

I do believe that the dog raincoat can prevent the whole body from getting wet every time you take your dog out, and you will only have to deal with wiping their dirty paws, and keep them from getting sick in the wet, cold weather. These dog raincoats will have a buckle to attach a leash to keep your dog from running away and rolling in the mud. Actually, dogs love to roll in wet mud, and some dog country clubs have mud baths available as a luxury item.

Last night I was watching “America’s Got Talent” and was highly entertained by the dancing dog  act of Spy.  He was simply amazing.  He did not miss a beat of the music and his dance steps would have made a non-dancer like me to want to dance with him.  He is a an awesome dog.  His owner has about six dogs that she has taught to dance and do tricks.
