What Are The Benefits of Adopting an Older Dog

Adopting an older dog has many positive advantages, particularly for novice dog owners. In their article on the topic, OlderDogs.co.uk explains more...

By giving an older dog a home, you can make a difference. They can give you plenty of happiness, love and affection and in return you can offer the same. We all know the advantages of purchasing a puppy, but don’t forget that these older dogs were puppies once. Their first owners probably had just as good intentions as you have of having a dog.

If you have ever visited a rescue shelter and walked along the rows and rows of cages and seen the dogs in these cages, then you will have seen dogs of all differing personalities. The one that is running around chasing his tail probably makes you laugh, then there is the cute looking one that makes you want to go “awwwww”. The older dog is probably the one just sat watching the world go by. It might seem quite boring to you but this dog has so much love to give to you. Give him a go, you will find that it will be worth it.

Can Worms Kill Dogs?

Worms can kill dogs. Did you know that?

Many owners are genuinely shocked to learn that worms can be so serious. Fatal in fact.

There are so many different symptoms that can appear when a dog has worms that anything you notice outside of the ordinary behaviour of your pet should be addressed by a visit to your vet as a worm infested dog can become a very unhealthy, unhappy dog very fast.

Left untreated worms can kill a dog so it is better to be safe than sorry if you suspect your pet might have worms or have been in contact with other dogs that might have worms.

The experts all agree that worming a dog four times per year is the best way to keep a dog worm free (see more: http://www.dogworms.co.uk).

First, establish whether your dog might already have worms (click here)

If you suspect your dog already has worms, see your vet for consultation on the best worming treatment dependant on your dog's age/weight.

In terms of avoiding worms in the first place, regularity of worming treatment is the best approach.

(A note on lungworms: The lungworm parasite is carried by slugs and snails. The problem arises when dogs purposefully or accidentally eat these common garden pests when rummaging through undergrowth, eating grass, drinking from puddles or outdoor water bowls, or pick them up from their toys. - See more: http://www.lungworm.co.uk)

Leading worming experts Bayer Animal Health advise:

To avoid worms reaching maturity and affecting your pet's health, and to reduce public health risks, you should worm your pet regularly. Worming at least every three months with Drontal will reduce this risk, but ask your vet who will be able to evaluate your pet's health and your family's requirements and advise you on a specific worming routine for your pet.

Also, don't forget about dog fleas (fleas and worms often go hand in hand - see more)
