• Onions and garlic
• Avocados
• Nuts, especially macadamia nuts and walnuts
• Anything sweetened with xylitol
• Cooked bones, as they can splinter and cause injury
• Anything spoiled or moldy

It's also important to note that dogs have different nutritional needs than humans and should not be fed a diet primarily consisting of table scraps. It's best to consult with a veterinarian or do research to ensure that your dog is getting the appropriate diet for their specific needs especially so if you are first-time fur parent! 

Thinking of it makes you wanna regurgitate, don't ya. Well dogs eating poop, or coprophagia, can have various causes such as nutritional deficiencies, hunger, health issues, behavioral issues or it could be an instinctual behavior remnant from wild ancestor's diet. Eating feces can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition so it is best to bring your dog to the vet for a thorough check-up to cover all grounds. 

There are several dog breeds that are known for shedding less than others:

It's important to note that all dogs shed to some degree, and even the breeds listed above will shed a small amount of hair.

Dogs, like other animals, can be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, which is known as SARS-CoV-2. However, the risk of dogs becoming infected with the virus is considered to be low, and the risk of them transmitting the virus to humans is even lower.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) it is considered that the likelihood of pets becoming infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 is considered to be low, and the risk of them transmitting the virus to humans is considered to be even lower. However, it's still important to take precautions, such as washing your hands after handling your dog and avoiding close contact with animals if you are sick. And, make sure to slow down on all the kisses to minimise contact with your dog. 

Ah, this is an important decision as this potentially life-changing decision of whether to get a cat or a dog strongly depends on your lifestyle and personal preferences.

Just a few things to consider when making your decision:

• Dogs require more attention and care than cats as they need to be walked, exercised, and trained. 

• Cats are generally more independent than dogs and are content to spend time alone while you're away.

• Cats don't need to be walked or exercised as much as dogs, and they groom themselves.

• Some breeds of dogs require more exercise and space than others, so you'll need to consider your living situation when choosing a breed.

• Cats are generally more low-maintenance than dogs, but they still need regular care, including feeding and litter box maintenance.

• Dogs can be great companions and can be trained to do a variety of tasks, while cats can be more aloof and independent.

• Dogs are social animals and they bond strongly with their owners, while cats can be more solitary animals.

• A cat would be a better choice if you're allergic to dogs.

Ultimately, the best way to decide whether to get a cat or dog is to spend time with both kinds of animals and see which one you enjoy the most. You should also consider your lifestyle, living situation and your ability to provide care for the animal before making a decision.

Yes, dogs can experience anxiety just like humans. Who knew? 

Anxiety in dogs can manifest in different ways such as destructive behavior, barking, whining, shaking, or hiding. Some common causes of anxiety in dogs include changes in their environment, separation from their owners, lack of socialization, and traumatic experiences.

If you suspect that your dog is struggling with anxiety, it's important to consult with a veterinarian or a professional dog behaviorist to help identify the cause and create a plan to help manage the anxiety.
