Robí surové mäso agresívne psy?

Kŕmi vášmu psovi surový stravovací plán ho urobí agresívnym?

Nie je to také jednoduché.

Psy, ktoré majú existujúci problém s ochranou zdrojov pred zmenou na surový stravovací plán, môžu ukázať zvýšenie stráženia zdrojov pri poskytovaní surového mäsa.

Je to preto, že pes vidí surové mäso ako cennejšie ako suché jedlo. Možno s väčšou pravdepodobnosťou prejaví agresiu, aby zabránil osobe alebo zvieraťa brať toto mimoriadne cenené jedlo.

Samotné surové jedlo nie je problémom. Problémom je agresia potravín alebo ochrana zdrojov všeobecne. Surové jedlo môže tento problém viac zrejmovať, podobne ako u psa, ktorý zavrčal, keď sa pokúsite odobrať surovú koľku alebo kosť.

Je to relatívne bežné, ale nie niečo, čo chceme povzbudiť.

Ale prinesie kŕmenie vášho psa surového mäsa z neho „krvilačného“ alebo všeobecne agresívnejšie? Nie, programu nie. Toto je ešte jeden mýtus na internet.

Plán psa ho neurobí „krvilačným“ alebo agresívnejším pre iné zvieratá alebo ľudí.

Surové psie jedlo, ako aj stráženie zdrojov

Plán stravy surového psieho stravovania sa nezmení typického psa na agresívneho psa. Duh!

Avšak psy, ktoré majú existujúci problém s ochranou zdrojov pred zmenou na surový stravovací plán, môžu pri poskytovaní surového mäsa ukázať podporu v stráži zdrojov.

Je to preto, že pes vidí surové mäso ako cennejšie ako suché jedlo. Možno s väčšou pravdepodobnosťou prejaví agresiu, aby zabránil osobe alebo zvieraťa brať toto mimoriadne cenené jedlo.

Samotné surové jedlo nie je problémom. Problémom je agresia potravín alebo ochrana zdrojov všeobecne. Surové jedlo môže tento problém len zrejmovať.

Použijem svoju mačku, aby som vám ukázal, čo tým myslím. Áno, moja mačka ukazuje agresiu potravín.

Môj mačkový lúč sa konzumuje so všetkými potravinami, ako aj to je podhodnotenie. (Aktualizácia 2019: Beamer zomrel.)

Je to mačička, ktorá bude šprintovať po kuchyni, ak spadnem, povedzme, mrazenú ekologickú fazuľu. Beamer sa konzumuje so všetkými potravinami – surové zemiaky, banány, drobky, papierové utierky, ktoré sa dotýkali jedla – pomenujete ho.

Táto mačka je orechy, rovnako ako nemôžeme vynechať žiadny druh jedla. Naozaj ho musíme obmedziť, keď nie sme doma.

Teraz, ak poskytnem Beamerovi nejaké suché mačacie jedlo a pokúsim sa ho vziať späť, zúfalo ho prehltne.

Ale ak poskytnem svoje mačkové surové jedlo, ako je morčací krk, ako aj potom sa pokúsim vziať ho preč, vyplivne, zavrčal, syčivo a pokúša sa uhryznúť. Stáva sa ako divoké zviera, rovnako ako bude bojovať s kýmkoľvek, aby chránil jeho jedlo.

Môj mačkový lúč je extrémnym príkladom, tento druh agresie potravín je však relatívne typický u psov. Poskytujete psovi nejaké suché jedlo, rovnako ako môže trochu zavrhnúť, ak ho vezmete.

Ale poskytnite mu kosť alebo nejaké surové mäso a snažte sa ju vziať, ako je mimoriadne agresívny. Nehovorím, že tieto návyky sú prijateľné. Uvádzam, že je to relatívne bežné.

Čo mám robiť, ak je môj pes agresívny okolo surového jedla?

Ak je váš pes agresívny okolo surového jedla, hádam, že je tiež relatívne agresívny okolo iných vecí, ako sú suché jedlo pre psov, surové pokrytie, ako aj možno aj hračky. Problémom nie je plán surovej stravy pre psov. Surové jedlo však môže tento problém zrejmovať.

Tu je niekoľko tipov, ako presne to, ako ponúknuť so psom, ktorý ukazuje agresiu jedla:

1. Najmite trénera.

Ak si nie ste istí, ako presne zvládnuť agresiu vášho psa, neváhajte a najať inštruktora fitness, ktorý môže prísť pozorovať vášho psa, ako aj ponúknuť návrhy. Nechcem, aby ste sa vy alebo niekto iný zranil. Dokonca aj malé psy (alebo mačky!) Sú desivé, keď prejavujú agresiu.

2. Učte svojho psa solídne schopnosti poslušnosti.

Nejde o dominanciu. Je to o tom, že ste rešpektovaným „kapitánom tímu“ pre vášho psa. Pes, ktorý reaguje na sedenie, príde rovnako ako 99 percent času, je pes, ktorý objavil sebakontrola.

Toto je pes, ktorý predstavuje jeho majiteľa, ako aj to je pes, ktorý je menej pravdepodobné, že prejaví agresiu. Ak váš pes vykazuje vlastnú agresiu všetkého – hračky, postele, ľudí, jedlo – jednou z prvých vecí, ktoré by ste mali urobiť, je pracovať na všeobecných schopnostiach poslušnosti psa.

3. Nechajte svojho psa urobiť všetko.

Platí to pre väčšinu psov, avšak najmä dominantné alebo agresívne psy. Chcete prinútiť psa, aby si urobil všetko, čo má hodnotu – dobroty, pozornosť, prechádzky, jedlo. Napríklad pred poskytnutím svojho psa jeho jedlo ho nechajte ľahnúť a zostať potichu päť minút.

Predtým, ako sa vydáte na prechádzku, uistite sa, že váš pes sedí na velenie a potichu čaká.

4. Naučte svojho psa poklesom príkazu.

Všetci psi by mali porozumieť príkazom na „kvapku“, ako aj „opustiť“. V ideálnom prípade by ste mali byť schopní povedať svojmu psovi, aby znížil surovú kosť a mal by sa poslúchať.

Pravdepodobne sa nebudete môcť dostať do tohto bodu cez noc, ale malo by to byť váš cieľ. Ak chcete psa naučiť, aby spadol, budete musieť začať menejer-valued products in exchange for higher-valued items.

For example, tell your dog to decrease a tennis sphere in exchange for some jerky treats. then development to more difficult objects. right here is my publish on exactly how to teach a dog the decrease command.

Even when your dog “knows” the command quite well, you should still practice. My dog responds extremely well to the decrease command, as well as he’s never shown aggression to humans over food.

However, every couple of days I still ask him to “drop” his raw meat while he’s eating. then I instantaneously reward him with either some raw liver or I provide him the original food right back.

5. repair the food-aggression issue before changing to a raw diet.

If your dog shows aggression around dry food, he’s definitely going to show aggression around raw food. try lessening this issue before you switch your possessive dog to a raw diet. Or, at the extremely least, feed your dog his raw food in his crate for now.

6. If you have several dogs, feed them in their crates.

If your dogs show any type of type of food aggression to every other, it’s finest to feed them in their crates. Yes, I understand this isn’t precisely solving the problem, however it’s an simple method to keep everybody safe. 

My feline Beamer has an problem with food aggression. He will try to take the food from my other pets, so he has to eat in his feline carrier.

7. Hold the raw food while your dog eats it.

This will not work for all dogs. Some will be as well aggressive, so don’t try this technique if you are unsure.

Simply hold the meat while your dog eats. If he tries to gulp it down or take it, you calmly state “no” as well as pull the food away. If he eats it nicely, he gets to keep eating while you hold it.

You can likewise work on the “drop” as well as “leave it” commands in this way, making sure to reward with something even much better like pieces of poultry liver. As long as you are holding the meat, your dog won’t be able to take it as well as begin guarding it. Make sure to reward generously for great behavior.

Raw dog food as well as prey drive

A final problem I want to mention is a dog’s existing prey drive.

If your dog already has a strong prey drive as well as tries to chase or kill cats, then feeding him raw food (especially the whole prey model) may highlight this problem.

Again, it’s not the raw food diet plan for dogs that’s triggering the problem. It’s a failure to handle an existing problem. Some dogs do try to chase as well as kill little animals, however this is not triggered by the dog’s diet.

Rover.com – start your own pet sitting service

I started a professional pet sitting service in 2008. I’ve always took pleasure in the flexibility and challenge of owning my own business, but it can also be overwhelming.

One option that can make this process a little much easier for pet sitters is to start a service under a larger company such as Rover.com.

“Rover helps pet parents find loving sitters, so their pet can stay in a real home while they are away,” according to its web site. “Whether you’re a professional pet dog sitter or an enthusiastic dog-lover, Rover makes it easy to earn money pet sitting.”

While starting your own pet sitting service takes a lot of time and planning, you can create a complimentary pet sitting profile with Rover.com in a few minutes and potentially start taking clients that very week. I’ve already started to fill out my profile with Rover as both a pet sitter and someone trying to find pet care.

As a pet sitter through Rover.com you set your own schedule and rates, and you specify whether you’ll enjoy dogs in your own home or at the client’s home.

According to Rover.com, its top pet sitters make $7,000 per month.

I am able to look at this from a special perspective because I already own a private pet sitting company. This allows me to see both the pros and cons of starting up a service the “Rover route” versus on your own.

Pros to starting a pet sitting service through Rover.com:

1. Rover.com is a safe way to get started. There’s not quite as much to worry about as far as paperwork, invoicing and accounting. and if you decide to maintain your own pet sitting service separately, you could still do that as well.

2. It’s a good way to “test the waters” and see how severe you are about pet sitting with less risk.

3. Rover.com uses you a lot of flexibility. It’s best if you’re just trying to find a part-time job or a little extra spending cash.

4. Every stay booked through Rover is covered by its peace of Mind Protection, which will reimburse sitters up to $2,000 in emergency vet bills, according to Rover.com. Sitters also have the option of enrolling in an additional protection package which uses a lot more protection and additional benefits.

Cons to starting a pet sitting service through Rover.com:

1. depending on where you live, there could be a lot of other sitters already subscribed with Rover.com. This will make it a lot more tough to get your profile seen. Just because you’re provided on the site doesn’t indicate you’ll get customers.

2. Rover.com handles the invoicing (which is convenient) but it keeps 15 percent of payments.

From the point of view of the pet dog owner, there are also some pros and cons to hiring a pet sitter through Rover.com vs. hiring an independent pet sitter.

What I like about Rover as a pet dog owner:

1. It only takes a few minutes to set up an account and begin searching for a sitter. considering that there are several sitters in the database, it’s fairly easy to find one available for the dates you need, even holidays.

2. You can search through a variety of profiles until you find someone you’re comfortable with. Ideally, you’d be able to hire that sitter whenever you need someone.

3. considering that a lot of of the pet sitters are trying to find a part-time income the rates are more affordable than some independent pet sitters. A representative of Rover.com said “the average prices range from $25 to $40 per night for one dog.”

4. It’s easy to leave reviews, so if you have a bad experience with a sitter, you can let others know not to hire her.

What’s not so good for pet dog owners:

1. I’m pleased it’s easy for pet sitters to sign up, but undoubtedly that comes with its risks. On its terms of service page Rover.com states, “We have no control over the conduct of our users or the truth or accuracy of the information that users post on the site or supply through the Services.”

2. lots of of the sitters provided on the site are students. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I’m a lot more comfortable hiring someone who is passionate about pet dog sitting as a career, not as a side job.

A čo ty? have any of you started pet sitting through Rover.com? have you ever hired a sitter through Rover?

Small dog’s possessiveness of owner

I typically hear people ask, “How to stop my small dog from guarding me?” however huge dogs will likewise guard their owners.

With small dogs, the scenario goes something like this:

First, the dog barks as well as growls whenever people come to the door.

Next, the dog’s owner picks him up to stop him from barking or growling.

From his owner’s arms, the dog continues to growl at anyone who tries to get too close. He might not even “allow” anyone else to sit on the couch next to his owner.

Sound familiar?

Tips to stop a small dog’s possessiveness of his owner

If your medium or big dog is showing possessiveness, these rules will likewise apply!

How to stop my dog from resource guarding me

1. understand the problem – Why does my dog guard me?

If a small dog is guarding his owner, he is typically acting aggressive since of an insecurity.

The dog’s owner has been carrying him around for months, shielding him from experiencing the world as a dog. Whenever the dog is frightened, the owner picks him up.

Although the owner is trying to protect her dog, the dog never learns exactly how to offer with the real world. He never learns exactly how to cope with new environments, other dogs approaching him, kids reaching for him, etc.

Naturally, the dog feels safe (and therefore more powerful) when he’s in his owner’s arms. He wants to maintain that feeling of power, so he learns to growl at anyone who comes too close.

When he growls, people move away. The dog learns that growling protects his “power source.”

Often, if the owner would simply set the dog on the ground as well as ignore him, the dog’s state of mind would quickly change. more repetitions of that as well as ultimately the dog no longer growls.

2. dedicate to solving your dog’s guarding

It’s typically difficult for dog owners to realize they themselves are the problem.

What to do if your dog is protective of you?

If you can dedicate to making modification in your own behavior, you can assist your dog. I understand it’s not always easy, so hang in there!

Are you ok with setting your dog on the ground when he’s scared? Are you ok with ignoring him? using a firm voice? setting clear rules as well as boundaries?

If you are willing to make changes, you will be able to assist your dog overcome his possessiveness over time. If you can’t change, then it will not be possible for your dog to change.

Keep reading for more ideas on what to do if your dog is protective of you.

3. Do not hold the dog when he’s growling

When you hold your dog, you enable him to ended up being more powerful.

Obviously we love lap dogs, as well as it’s not a poor thing to hold as well as cuddle them. That’s one of the reasons we love dogs!

However, we should not hold or cuddle our dogs when they are acting insecure or aggressive. Doing so encourages the wrong behavior. If you hold a dog when he’s growling, he is not discovering a more appropriate behavior. He thinks the barking is ok when it’s not.

I’m not saying you can’t provide comfort to a frightened dog, however when the fear is resulting in aggression we need to look for other ways to offer comfort vs. picking the dog up.

See my post: Can you reward a dog’s fear?

4. block your dog from guarding you

If you set your dog on the ground, he might sit at your feet as well as guard you from there. Or, he might keep trying to jump back onto the couch or onto your lap where he feels more powerful.

Don’t enable this.

If he jumps onto your lap, set him back on the ground.Ak sa pokúsi skočiť na gauč, zablokujte ho rukou alebo nohou. V prípade potreby ho zatlačte. Ak sedí pri tvojich nohách, položte na neho vodítko a uviaznite ho na stoličku cez miestnosť. Alebo, ak sa skrýva za nohami v parku psov, stále sa pohybujte preč.

Pes musí presne zistiť, ako sa bez teba vyrovnať.

Keď sa ps umiestni na zem, s najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou prestane vrčať a štekať. Namiesto toho sa ukáže jeho skutočný stres a úzkosť. Mohol by tempo aj kňučať, zúfalo sa snaží dostať späť k svojmu „zdroju energie“ – vaše kolo!

To je, keď by ste mali jednoducho ignorovať svojho psa. Nemysli na neho. Nedotýkajte sa ho. Nehliadnite ani jeho smerom. Konajte, akoby tam nebol. Rovnako ako sa v tom necítite chudobní.

Pomáhate mu nakoniec, že ​​ste sebavedomejší a normálnejší pes. Keď je pokojný aj tichý, vtedy by ste ho mali pohladiť a dokonca ho pozvať späť, aby si s vami sadol.

5. Nepovoľte svojmu psovi na nábytku (dočasne)

Ak má váš pes zvyk strážiť vás, aspoň dočasne odporúčam žiadne psy na pravidlo nábytku.

Toto pravidlo sa zdá byť pre majiteľov malých psov veľmi ťažké presadzovať, je to však dôležité. (Moje psy nie sú nikdy povolené na nábytku, rovnako ako v poriadku!)

Pozri náš príspevok: Zastavte môjho psa, aby sa na mňa vrčal na posteli

Samotný nábytok je často tým, čo spúšťa vlastnosť. Napríklad pes nemusí cudzincom umožniť sedieť na gauči.

Ak je to tak, majiteľ by nemal psa na gauči vôbec umožniť. Človek sa rozhodne, kto sedí na gauči. Pes sa nerozhoduje.

Pes by sa mohol dokonca vrhnúť na niekoho, kto spí v posteli jeho majiteľa! Človek by mal opäť vybrať, kto spí na posteli. Pes sa nerozhoduje!

Presadzovanie žiadnych psov na pravidle nábytku tiež naučí vášho psa vyššiu úroveň sebakontroly. Celkovo je to dôležité, pretože pes s väčšou vlastnou kontrolou bude vo všeobecnosti poslušnejší, vyváženejší a šťastný.

6. Nedovoľte, aby sa vlastníctvo potravín alebo hračiek

Psy, ktoré sú majetkom ich majiteľov, sú zvyčajne tiež majetkom jedla, ako aj hračiek. Toto sú návyky, ktoré by ste od svojho psa nemali tolerovať.

Ak chcete zastaviť vlastníctvo jedla a hračiek psa, je dôležité naučiť psa príkazom na „kvapku“ alebo „opustiť ho“. Je tiež dôležité dodržiavať konzistentné pravidlá, ako aj naučiť vášho psa, že všetko, čo vám patrí – dokonca aj „jeho“ hračky, jedlo a posteľ.

7. Precvičujte si solídne zručnosti poslušnosti

Psy so solídnymi schopnosťami poslušnosti sú vo všeobecnosti rešpektovaní ich majiteľmi. Počúvajú príkazy, rovnako ako majú vysokú úroveň vlastnej kontroly.

Nie je náhoda, že malé psy budú menej pravdepodobné, že budú vyškolení, ako aj pravdepodobnejšie, že budú majetné v porovnaní s väčšími psami.

Nikdy však nie je neskoro začať trénovať svojho psa. Mimoriadne odporúčam, aby ste začali brať svojho psa do skupinových poslušných kurzov. Je dôležité, aby psi objavili sebakontrolu pri práci okolo iných psov.

8. Naučte svojho psa, je v poriadku byť sám

Niekedy malý pes cíti potrebu strážiť svojho majiteľa, pretože nie je pohodlný, že je sám. Šteká a vrčí na každého, kto sa priblíži, pretože sa ho táto osoba môže snažiť odstrániť od majiteľa.

Máte schopnosť modifikovať návyky vášho psa tým, že mu pomáhate vyrovnať sa bez vás. Nie je zdravé, aby bol pes v blízkosti svojho majiteľa 24 hodín denne, 7 dní v týždni, pretože nie je zdravé, aby bol žiadny typ dvoch ľudí, aby boli stále spolu!

Takže poskytnite svojmu psovi každý deň každý deň v chovateľskej stanici alebo v samostatnej miestnosti. Počas tejto doby mu môžete poskytnúť špeciálnu pochúťku ako hračku Kong s arašidovým maslom. Ak pes kňučí, je veľmi dôležité ho ignorovať, až kým nebude tichý.

Ďalším spôsobom, ako vytvoriť oddelenie, je priviazať vodítko k stoličke a sedieť na druhej strane miestnosti a ignorovať ho 20 minút.

Mali by ste tiež pracovať na tom, aby ste ho naučili solídny príkaz dole/pobyt, kým nebude ležať na posteli pre psov alebo rohož až po pol hodiny.

Pozri: Presne ako učiť príkaz miesta.

9. Pomôžte svojmu psiu puto s inými ľuďmi ako vy

Požiadajte kamarátov, ako aj členov domácnosti, aby nakŕmili vášho psa, vezmite ho na prechádzky a občas sa s ním hrajte. Pomôže vám to vášmu psovi vidieť, že aj ostatní ľudia sú dobrí!

A tu je fantastické cvičenie, ktoré odporúča čitateľ menom Marie:

Viazajte vodítko svojho psa na stoličku a tiež si sadnite na stoličku. Potom požiadajte rôznych ľudí, aby sa k vám priblížili aj k vášmu psovi. Druhý, keď váš pes šteká alebo zavrčal, vstaňas walk away without saying a word. This will teach your dog that barking as well as growling will not assist his situation. It will really make you go away!

Sounds like a fantastic concept to me!

10. Reward great behavior

It’s important that we praise our dogs when they are showing great behavior. If your dog is sitting calmly on the floor while guests are over, make sure to pet him as well as tell him he’s a great boy. Or toss him a treat.

If he sits patiently while you pet one more dog, tell him what a great dog he is.

We want to ignore unwanted habits as well as reward the good. I recommend the treats called wellness Well Bites.

Signs your dog is protective of you

Finally, I quickly wanted to listing out some signs that your dog is protective of you since it’s not always simple to tell.

Signs your dog is guarding you:

(These can likewise be signs your dog is scared, which is typically the real reason the dog is protecting you. She’s frightened!)

Growls or barks when other people approach you
Places herself between you as well as one more person
Backs into you or sits on your feet or at your feet

Is my dog protecting me or scared?

Often, both! The top reason dogs “protect” their owners is since they are scared. Their owner is the one thing that helps them feel secure as well as safe, so they want to “protect” this “power source.”

The best thing you can do is assist develop your dog’s confidence as well as security using some of the tips outlined above.

What are some other tips you’ve used to prevent a dog’s territorial behavior?

Doggie Don’t Review

Spodný riadok:

The Doggie Don’t is extremely efficient at interrupting unwanted dog behaviors such as jumping or barking. I utilize it with my puppy Remy when he keeps jumping while I’m sitting on the couch or at our patio table. It’s sufficient to interrupt the habits so I can reward him for sitting or standing. He understands not to jump when the product is in sight.

The Doggie Don’t was produced by dog enthusiast Sarah Beck since she stated her two schnauzers were so difficult out in public. They utilized to lunge, “screech” as well as bark when they saw other dogs.

“Not only was it embarrassing, I was afraid that one more dog would assault them,” Beck said.

She started walking with a stun gun so she might protect her dogs if one more dog ever did attack, she said. someday when they were in a frenzy, she decided to click the stun gun while stating “no barking,” as well as it worked!

“I started utilizing it every time they would go into the barking frenzy,” she said. “It would make a loud noise as well as they really listened to me.”

She wasn’t hurting her dogs. She was just utilizing the noise to divert their attention.

This is what inspired Beck to produce the Doggie Don’t gadget so other dog enthusiasts might have a gadget that would make the noise of a stun gun without the capability to shock a person or dog.

The Doggie Don’t makes a unique noise I’ve never heard with other pet products.

I would compare it to the loud, static on a TV. Annoying, right? It gets your attention, which is the goal here.

How to utilize the Doggie Don’t

First, provide your dog a possibility to respond to your command such as “off” or “quiet.” Praise your dog if he listens to your command.

If he doesn’t comply with your command, utilize the Doggie Don’t one time to interrupt the behavior. Then, praise him for being peaceful or for keeping his paws on the ground or whatever you’re working on.

Pros of the Doggie Don’t:

Can be utilized to stop dog behaviors such as jumping up, barking or counter-surfing, as well as it’s extremely effective.

It’s little sufficient as well as light sufficient to quickly bring around.

The Doggie Don’t might be utilized for security reasons such as if you requirement to startle a dog who’s charging you on a walk or if you requirement to break up a dog fight.

The (non-rechargeable) lithium battery should last for about 500 uses. This should last most people a number of months thinking about it’s designed to be utilized sparingly as well as you’ll requirement to utilize it less as well as less as your dog learns.

It’s an alternate to a shock collar, squirt bottle or shaking a can of coins.

It enables you to stay calm as well as positive. The correction/interrupter comes from the device. Your voice is utilized for praise.

Zápory:

The noise is loud as well as does hurt my ears a bit. I envision it’s worse for pets.

The noise will annoy all your pets that are near you, not just the “problem child.”

You can’t change the sound’s volume/intensity, as well as it’s likely as well loud for a few sensitive dogs. However, it’s likewise great to have a consistent sound.

Would I buy this product?

No. While I like the product as well as it’s truly nice to have for my puppy Remy, I don’t belIEV by som strávil 50 dolárov, aby som si v tejto chvíli objednal jeden. „Zlé“ správanie mojich domácich miláčikov nie je taký problém, keď mám pocit, že by som si vyžadoval objednať psík, nie.

Ako už bolo povedané, 50 dolárov nie je ničím v porovnaní s najímaním inštruktora fitness psov, ako aj to, že stojí za to investovať, ak dostane návyky pod kontrolou, umožňuje vášmu psovi väčšiu flexibilitu alebo udržiava ostatných v bezpečí.

Navrhoval by som produkt ostatným?

Áno, navrhol by som, že psík nemá nikomu, kto sa zaoberá problémovými návykami, ako sú skákanie, štekanie, protiurfovanie atď.

Majitelia psov sa bežne poukazujú na to, aby ignorovali nechcené návyky, ako aj odmenili veľké správanie, ignorovanie návykov však nefunguje vždy. Doggie nie je účinnou metódou na prerušenie nechcených návykov bez potrestania vášho psa.

Buggsly Black Label Pet Dog Jackets

Pet Dog Coat Company hľadá podporovateľov Kickstarter

Poznámka: Toto je sponzorovaný príspevok.

AKTUALIZÁCIA: Buggsly splnil svoj cieľ Kickstarter.

Nakoniec, kabát pre domáceho maznáčika, môj laboratórny mix ocenia!

Môj domáci psík eso ochladí v „zime“. Dokonca aj v San Diegu. Áno, je to trochu smažené.

Snažil som sa nájsť ľahký kabát pre eso, pretože sa cíti obmedzený v veste, ktorú som ho dostal pred rokmi. Vlastne uteká odo mňa, keď dostanem tú vestu!

Môj manžel a ja plánujeme kempingový výlet v apríli s naším psom a bunda od Buggsly je presne to, čo Ace potrebuje – bunda pre psov, ktorá je funkčná a pohodlná.

Buggsly Black Label je línia psích psích bund vyrobených s dôrazom na bezpečnosť, funkčnosť, pohodlie a starostlivosť o životné prostredie podľa svojej stránky Kickstarter. Spoločnosť má sídlo z kanadského Vancouveru a hľadá 12 500 dolárov za výrobné náklady.

Viac informácií o Buggsly Black Label Pet Dog Jackets:

Buggsly Black Label založil Michael Flint a Cassidy Morgan potom, čo nemohli nájsť bundu pre psov pre domácich miláčikov, ktorá sa venovala potrebám ich domáceho psa Buggsly (on je model, ktorý modeluje bundy).

Boli tam nejaké kabáty pre psov, ktoré boli vodotesné, ale tie vyzerali ako Baggy Ponchos, Flint a Morgan povedali na svojej stránke Kickstarter. Iní boli ťažkopádne a ťažké, takže Buggsly nedokázal hrať prirodzene v parku Pet Dog Park.

“Buggsly je veľmi aktívny pes,” povedal Morgan. “Najlepšie na tejto bunde je, aký je neobmedzený, keď ju nosí.”

Morgan povedal, že bunda je neuveriteľne ľahká a veľmi priedušná, čo pomáha udržiavať reguláciu tela jeho psa.

“Chceli sme vytvoriť bundu, ktorá bola„ aerodynamická “, a dosiahli sme to,” uviedol.

Bundy sa dodávajú v šiestich farbách uvedených vyššie. Moje najobľúbenejšie je modrá. Podľa stránky Kickstarter je maloobchodná hodnota 89 dolárov CAD pre čiernu a 99 dolárov pre farby.

Podľa Buggsly Black Label sú bundy:

1. Vodotesné, veterné a priedušné.

2. Vyrobené z reflexných akcentov, ktoré umožňujú vysokú viditeľnosť vo všetkých podmienkach osvetlenia.

3. Elegantné a zefektívnené s minimalistickým dizajnom. Nebude to vyzerať, že váš domáci pes má na sebe „mys“!

4. Ekologické. vyrobené z recyklovaných materiálov.

5. K dispozícii pre psov všetkých veľkostí.

Buggsly is seeking $12,500 through Kickstarter to fund its minimum production amount of 500 jackets at a Vancouver factory. view its official Kickstarter video below or click here.

Liquid glucosamine to help a dog’s joints – Rejenease review & giveaway

‘Mixes easily with food; even picky eaters love it!’

Note: I’ve partnered with Rejenease to bring you this post.

My 8-year-old lab mix Ace got to try a liquid glucosamine supplement called Rejenease.

As you may remember, my canine has had some joint issues over the last several months, so I was eager to give him a product that might help.

And did it help?

The short answer is yes!

My canine has shown some improvement after taking Rejenease. He seems to be doing better on stairs and recovering faster after his adventures at the canine beach. It’s not a dramatic change, but a small improvement.

In purchase to understand how the product has helped Ace, I’ll briefly let you know how he was before taking Rejenease.

My dog’s joint issues before starting Rejenease

Ace’s vet thinks my canine has tendinitis in the best shoulder, which causes him to limp at times. His knees can also get stiff, which I suspect is arthritis.

My canine is one of those Labs who goes completely bonkers over a tennis ball.

I believe his joint issues are due to the hard starting and stopping motions he’s done over the years while playing fetch. other elements include natural aging and genetics.

Prior to starting the glucosamine Rejenease, here’s what I was doing to help Ace:

Restricted activity, but still making sure to opt for daily walks (20 mins or so)

A daily fish oil supplement

Anti-inflammatory/pain medication (Vetprofen)

After about four months of the above plan, I was noticing an improvement in Ace’s take on and began decreasing his pain medication.

This is when I started him on Rejenease, so it’s essential to note he was already showing some improvement.

My dog’s improvements after taking Rejenease

Ace has been taking Rejenease for about a month. I discovered the most dramatic improvement in the first week, and I haven’t discovered any additional changes since. His knees are noticeably less stiff, and while his take on still gets really sore at times, it is also improving.

I have taken him off the pain medication.

Here’s what I’ve noticed, and these are all subtle changes:

Ace’s knees are  less stiff after short trips to the canine beach or playing with canine friends.

He recovers faster from these adventures.

He has an simpler time going up and down stairs.

He can now walk up to 2 miles (vs. 1 mile a few months ago).

Over the weekend, I took Ace to the canine beach and let him run around chasing a ball for longer than I ought to have. Thankfully, he recovered just fine.

This doesn’t imply I can let him run around like a maniac every weekend. I still need to limit his activity, but Rejenease has been a element in helping my dog remain active. because of this, I plan to continue giving him the supplement.

2. Contains 1600 mg glucosamine & 1200 mg chondroitin per ounce.

3. Made in USA with human-grade ingredients.

Steven Hourston said he chose to develop Rejenease because it can transform the quality of a dog’s life.
