Dog Health Info

Use dog health info to find the cause and symptoms of allergies in dogs, dog skin disorders, dog seizures, dog weight loss and other dog sickness. Good dog nutrition is one of the best remedies.

Dog health info and nutrition are closely related.

Find out more about the connection between pet food and canine health; e.g. allergies in dogs, dog sickness, and the health of your pet.

However, we recommend that if your canine has a serious issue that needs attention to please seek the advice of your pet's veterinarian before taking our word on it (or any word that you read on the internet).

We want you to be informed about the best way to care for and feed your pooch. Many pet owners and people within the pet industries have their own opinions about what is right and what is wrong for the animals in their care.

Dog health info can be easily accessed but it's important to be able to differentiate between good information and information that is well-meaning, but not so good for the health of your canine.

Caring for your dog's health is of primary importance to all dog owners. And, if you own a dog from one of the rare dog breeds, such as the Barbet or the Hungarian Pumi, you will need to ensure that you find a Vet that understands the specific health needs of the breed because not all veterinarians have worked with all breeds.

Bad Dog Breath

Bad breath in canines can mean that your pet's teeth need to be more regularly and carefully cleaned and/or it might mean that your pet has a more serious health issue. Don't expect canines to have sweet smelling breath - they don't. But seriously, and consistently, bad breath is usually an indicator of other issues.

Canine Ear Infection

Does your pooch scratch its ears frequently (sometimes till the ear starts bleeding) or shake its head? Ear infections in dogs must be treated early or there can be serious consequences (such as deafness or infection that spreads to the jaw bone).

Canine Health: How Diet Affects Oral Health

Taking proper care of your pet's mouth affects his or her entire well being. Just like humans, your pet's oral health affects the entire body.

Canine Kennel Cough

Many dogs have had canine kennel cough in their lives; but it is preventable through a vaccination from your veterinarian. Kennel cough can become serious, particularly if undiagnosed and untreated, and some canines have been known to die from it.

Dog Bad Breath

Does your pooch have smelly breath? Bad breath or halitosis in dogs can be an indicator of serious health issues related to the digestive system, lungs, allergies and/or mouth.

Dog Bladder Infection

Dog Dehydration
