How to Identify Periodontal Disease in Dogs

Dental care is important to maintaining your dog’s overall health, and if not tended to regularly, can lead to medical complications and disease. More than 85% of dogs and cats older than four years have some level of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease (periodontitis) is the inflammation of some or all of the structures that support the teeth. These include the gingival, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.

How to Make Red, White and Blue Pupsicles for Your Dog to Enjoy

July 4, 2021

Gone to the Snow Dogs shows how to make these ‘pupsicles’ just in time for those summer long weekends like Memorial Day and Fourth of July celebrations. But they’re not just for patriotic American dogs to enjoy. These yummy, healthy berry treats can be enjoyed all summer long. And not only that, they are human-friendly too!

Ingredients include strawberries (1/2 cup) and blueberries (1/2 cup) lightly blended along with plain yogurt. You can add some fresh coconut to the white layer as an option too.

Jessica shows how to make the Rocket Pops and as you’ll see in the video, her pups are very helpful through the entire process, sampling the ingredients as she goes along.

Instead of putting in the popsicle plastic sticks into her molds, she cleverly substitutes a chicken jerky stick for her dogs. The recipe is very simple as you’ll see in the video. Simply mix the berry layers with some yogurt and add to the molds.

This DIY treat is sure to be a hit with the dogs no matter what the occasion.

If you like the star-shaped Bomb Popsicle molds she uses in the video, they can be purchased on Amazon.

Abandoned Boxer Follows Hikers Down A Mountain And Finds A New Family

August 9, 2026

Fabiola was hiking with friends near Mexico’s Iztaccíhuatl mountain when they unexpectedly came across a skinny, underweight Boxer wandering alone.

The friendly dog immediately began following the group. She stayed with them all the way back down the mountain, and by the time they reached the bottom, Fabiola knew she couldn’t leave her behind.

Fabiola had recently gone through a breakup and had also lost her own canine companion. Her heart went out to the 7-year-old Boxer, who was clearly friendly and seemed to have once belonged to someone.

She took the dog home, named her Shanti, and brought her to a veterinarian. That’s when she learned Shanti had TVT, a transmissible form of cancer. Fabiola suspected the illness may have been why someone had abandoned her on the mountain. Thankfully, Shanti received treatment right away. Just three months later, she was cancer-free.

Today, Shanti is healthier, happier and loving her new life with Fabiola. What began as a chance encounter on a mountain turned into something neither of them expected. She said, “We rescued each other… I’m so thankful she followed me down the mountain that day.”

‘World’s Worst Sheepdog’ Takes the Day Off Work to Get Sheep to Play with Him.

February 26, 2024

Nelson the sheepdog usually tends the flock diligently. The “part” Norfolk terrier is a good working dog. But on this particular day, he decides to “cut loose” and have some fun instead! His human dad, James Bell, filmed the moment Nelson ignores his calls and races around the field instead. The dog runs in circles confusing the sheep who begin to chase after him.

We suspect getting chased by the sheep is Nelson’s plan! Whether Nelson is playing “catch me if you can” or a game of “follow the leader” is unclear but Bell has an idea when he jokes on camera that Nelson is “the world’s worst sheepdog.”

Watch Nelson’s “time off” in the funny video below:

How To Perform the Heimlich Maneuver on Dogs

December 16, 2017

Do you know what to do if your dog is choking? Knowing a few emergency procedures, such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the Heimlich maneuver for dogs, is critical to saving lives because you may not have time to get to a vet and your dog could suffocate.

Dogs love to chew bones, sticks, toys, socks and anything small enough to fit into their mouths. But on occasion, an object may become dangerously lodged in your dog’s throat or windpipe.

If your dog is choking and suffocating, he will likely panic. A dog signals he is choking by either: coughing violently, wheezing, gasping for breath, pawing at his mouth, and/or has his eyes bulging out.

1. Check your dog’s mouth for the lodged object

If your dog cannot clear the object from his throat himself within a few seconds, immediately check your dog’s mouth. Always be extremely careful when attempting to remove anything from your pet’s mouth because you could push the object farther down your dog’s throat, tear at the throat tissue, damage a dog’s throat bones, or get bitten in the process.

Open your dog’s mouth. Put one hand on the upper jaw with your thumb on one side and your other fingers on the other side.
With your other hand, push gently down on the lower jaw, and keep your index finger free to sweep to the back of your dog’s mouth.
Look inside the mouth to see if you can see the obstruction and reach it with your fingers.
Do not grab something you simply feel. Dogs have small bones that support the tongue, so you can seriously injure them if you assume the bones are a foreign object.
If you do see the object, be very careful not to push the object further down your dog’s throat and do not attempt to extract it if it does not come out easily.

Bulldog Gets Her Own “Hello Window” To Greet Everyone Who Walks By | The Dodo

Betsy never wants to miss a chance to say hi to someone walking past her house, so John and Jane came up with the perfect solution: her very own “hello window.”
They cut it right into the fence and even decorated it for her, giving the neighborhood's most social bulldog a permanent spot to greet her fans.

Hibby first noticed this pittie hanging around a mechanic shop and started bringing him food. Those visits became a routine, and before long, the dog who'd been living outside wasn't just waiting for his next meal.
