If your a Yorkshire Terrier owner, or if you want to be, you’re not alone. The AKC (American Kennel Club) tracks which purebreds are the most popular dog breeds.

There is a time and place for just about everything. Dog barking, however, is one of those things that pet owners have a hard time justifying. Most people are looking for a dog barking solution. So how do you stop a dog from barking?
Let’s start at the root of every dog barking problem. Why do dogs bark? A barking dog is a dog that’s trying to get someone’s attention. They’re either trying to get the attention of another dog, a stranger, or you. In one way or another, they’re yelling “I’m here! I’m here!” Additionally, most dogs only have one level of barking – loud. Dogs can’t quiet their bark like you can quiet your voice. Dogs don’t have a whisper or and “inside voice.” The best dog barking solution is simply to acknowledge that your dog is trying to communicate, then you communicate in return.

Why would anyone consider the extra monthly expense of a health insurance policy for their dog or cat?
I was waiting to be seated at a local restaurant yesterday and struck up a conversation with an elderly lady seated beside me. She was distraught because her 3 year old dog had developed canine epilepsy. She told me the epilepsy was treatable, but not curable, so she was going to be stuck with some pretty large medical bills for her dog.
A few years ago, my neighbor’s dog knocked down a tiki torch and drank the fuel out of it. They had the dog’s stomach pumped and ended up with an $800 vet bill.
My aunt had a poodle which developed a heart problem several years ago. This dog was the joy of her life, so she did everything she could to save it. Several operations and thousands of dollars later, her dog’s health is much better, but she is still paying the medical bills for her poodle.

Dogs and chocolate. I’ve been told since I was a little kid that if my dog ate chocolate, it would kill him. Is it really true? Or is it along the same lines as, “If you eat a watermelon seed, you’ll grow a watermelon in your stomach.” I’ve done some research on dog’s eating chocolate, and here’s what I’ve found out in layman’s terms.
I recently moved into a new housing development which has strict guidelines on the the types of fencing you can install. Several families in the neighborhood have installed an invisible dog fence (or invisible cat fence). Other names for this type of fence is electric dog fence, wireless fence, electronic fence, underground fence, invisible pet fence, electronic pet containment fence, and radio fence. No matter what it’s called, I wanted to know the pros and cons of invisible fencing before installing it on my property, so I did some research.
