Adopting a Rescue Dog
I’ve had rescue dogs all my life, mostly from rescue associations. Most of them have come with problems, usually as a result of bad treatment in their past. One 4-year old galga took over 2 years before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog, and that was after living with 4 other housemates. My current Spanish podenca came with a fear of men – what a surprise – after spending the first 7 years of her life shut in a shed and just let out for hunting. Even after over 4 years in our home, she is still nervous of men and many life situations.
So it is vitally important to understand the problems which adopting a rescue dog will bring with them, needing much patience whilst they adjust to home life, new people and situations.

Natural remedies for your dog
Natural remedies are readily available these days, so we can treat medical problems in our pets without putting profit into the pockets of the pharmaceuticals.
Three I have used for my dogs are Devil’s Claw, Turmeric and Hemp Oil. As my dogs aged, I gave them a daily dose of Turmeric, which is also recommended for humans with arthritis too. One particular galgo had arthritis set in a serious hind knee joint which he had damaged as a puppy and which vets did not recomment operating on, as there was no guarantee of improvement. To help ease the pain I used Hemp Oil, or CBD oil as it is sold as. Vets very often prescribe Medicam but a side effect of this is liver damage. A small daily dose of CBD oil had the desired effect as he never showed any signs of discomfort. (more…)

How long is too long to leave a dog alone?
Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.
