Separation anxiety is a behavioral disorder of dogs that is when we leave our dog alone at home, if only to go to work.
If we see our dog with this problem we can choose to seek veterinary treatment which will help you overcome it, but still the best prevention. Do you feel safe and cared for our pets is the best way to avoid altering when we leave home, in our daily lives. It is essential that you understand the difference between a while and let him leave.
A veterinarian will tell you that there are 3 options to treat separation anxiety in a dog:
The method of desensitization. Consists in leaving the pet at home a few minutes and go back, each time increasing the time we are away from home. Thus, the animal will notice that although we leave home alone, never spend many hours away from us.
Counterconditioning. This is one of the best treatments for your dog overcome separation anxiety. Is that what premiemos every time we get home, or we leave. That is, we leave a plate with your favorite candy when we go or give it when we returned.
Medications are another way to help treat separation anxiety, but only used in extreme cases and after a thorough veterinary examination, as they can cause problems such as vomiting and excessive fatigue.
However much care for the hair of your dog can not help you lose hair when you make the move, every change of season. But we can help control this loss making some changes in your diet.
If we keep our dog from losing too much hair and want to help over his coat is shiny, a good option is to introduce into your diet at a dose of fatty acids (which can be found in both corn oil or sunflower) and foods rich in Omega 3 and 6.
Obviously we can not brush our dog’s hair at least twice a week to remove all the dead and leave only the ‘good’. Interestingly, I must say that short-haired dogs lose more hair than long, so we can not brush with this excuse.
If hair loss is constant, regardless of the change of season and having improved his diet, it is important that we take him to the vet to make her a medicated bath to combat the presence of seborrhea, fungi, fleas, bacterial infections , and other diseases. If a specific problem, the same vet that we recommend using shampoo in our bathroom at home.
Diabetes is a disease that also occurs in dogs our friends. As always, detect disease in an animal is somewhat complex, and that our small (or large) pets have no voice to say “How it hurts me here.” For this reason, it is important (although they always say never is enough) that we look at their behavior.
In the case of diabetes can be several symptoms such as urinary incontinence and therefore continuous and excessive intake of fluid driven by an extreme thirst. We can also meet with an anxiety that forces food to eat our animal disproportionately to becoming obese, however, we also encounter the opposite case, that our animal loses weight very quickly.
In terms of diagnosis, usually done by searching for glucose in urine and blood, while this is fasted.
Their treatment is based on insulin administration. There are cases that simply administering it in oral medications may be sufficient. However, often it is necessary to administer subcutaneously.
Note that an animal can live well with this condition. It simply requires a range of care, including proper administration of medication and maintain a balanced diet, low in fat and high in fiber.

You can walk your dog is only part of the routine is a must for all dog owners. Not only is there a clear, but your dog is socialized, and therefore provides for the exercise. Many of us walk our dog on a leash with a collar, but few of us think of what would happen if the neck slipped. Maybe our pets remain faithful to our next door, but maybe not. What if an animal came from a cat or dog to another, and ran after her. What if a car driving too fast, you never know what will happen. We believe that our dog is well trained and stick to it. But what we think is really happening.
You may already have your dog microchipped, and is a wise thing to do. Have a backup plan if your dog has been a big deal. Micro-chips are great, but it will only work if the animal shelter or veterinarian that your dog is caught in the machine, the right to have this chip and you never know if the person who finds your pet will last especially the absence of the neck. You can just assume it’s a parasite and keep it. I’m not saying that your dog microchip recommend it, but I recommend something most of us never think about it.
Something as simple … a second collar, yup a second collar. This string can be a string of seconds just want something cheap to put a label on the backup. Then, when in his neck on either a walk or tied in the yard pass to slide, has all the information you need to be returned home safely. The simple fact is that with a collar on your pet is more likely to be returned by an unknown pickup. People want to do good, but they like it easy when your dog is microchipped, they have to carry a pound or veterinarian if you have a necklace, which has everything you need is here. Just make a call. In addition, they feel more comfortable with the dog because his / her name and I know he may call / through it. I hope your best friend is never far from you, but if they do, I hope to return quickly and safely.
