Help ALL animals, not just dogs - or Lhasa Apso

Please help ALL the animals, not just dogs or Lhasa Apso.

HOW?

Just check out one of the links below...



One link may appeal to you more than another - [anything anti-EU appeals to me] - so the second one is my favourite!

The links direct you to a website where you can join the virtual march to help make animal testing history. I'm sure you'll agree it's a very worthy cause... and it won't cost you a penny... or a cent!

Lhasa Apso pet health

Sorry to keep banging on about chocolate at Christmas - but do make sure your small pet doesn't become seriously ill by eating it.

Dogs can be terrible thieves, and so crafty with it... ours always know what is about, and then wait for just a moment of time when your attention isn't on every scrap of food in the house - then pounce!

As well as keeping all chocolate away from them also note that dried fruit shouldn't be consumed by dogs, don't ask me why - and definitely don't ask our dogs who have a passion for stealing fruit cakes!

Spend £30 and get a FREE I Love Chocolate Hamper (worth £25)...Just enter code XE9G at the checkout

Lhasa Apso safety

Yummy! Half Price Christmas Chocolate selection

But PLEASE DO remember that chocolates meant for humans are poisonous to dogs.

A Lhasa Apso is a small dog, so a small amount of chocolate can be potentially deadly!

Most dogs are 'tea leaves' [thieves] when left to their own devices... and Christmas presents, whether left under the tree or some other accessible place - or even chocolate decorations on the tree can present an irresistible temptation.

Offers & a plea for the animals...

Pet-Supermarket now gives a guaranteed next day delivery on orders received before 3 p.m. and all orders over £79 are now sent post FREE.

Free postage is a great offer, and if you don't personally want that many items, why not join up with other pet owning friends to make up the amount. Save on the cost of getting into town and parking or lugging heavy items onto the bus, get vet medications like wormers at best prices, beds, toys, foods - the cost soon mounts up!

September offer from Pet-Supermarket... quote promo code Promosep2 to get £5 off orders over £79.

If you don't see what you want at Pet-Supermarket, why not check out our new supplier... see previous post!

AND please don't forget your daily click at The Animal Rescue Site... animals give us so much pleasure, and it only takes a moment. If you want to look after some habitat too, just click HERE!

Lhasa Apso Puppy Training School

Taking your Lhasa Apso puppy [or any other breed of pup for that matter] to puppy training school should be good for their socialization skills if nothing else!

Do NOT expect too much else - as your pup will be very young - or you will be disappointed on this score.

Quite often too much is expected from the pups themselves, and/or from the schools. Do ask any dog owning friends, and/or the vets which you have decided upon, to recommend a good puppy training school. Some can be very disappointing even though their owners and/or the people running the school have all the requisite training qualifications.

If you are new to dog or puppy ownership then it is best to read up on the subject BEFORE you bring your new friend home. Get the help of a good book or course [better still... get, and study, both!]... and don't forget to have an animal health guide as part of your 'pet library'!

[You'll find links to the best ones in our right-hand margin - plus we have within this blog many useful posts/articles on various health topics, and also posts about the books and courses we recommend and use ourselves.]

Lhasa Apso training and safety

There are so many potential hazards for our dogs these days...

Illness

Attacks by other dogs

Actual dog napping [that's theft in my book, and both evil and cruel to the animal and the owner... despicable behaviour]

Breed health problems

Traffic

Poisons

I am just going to touch on the last item on this list in this post... be careful to keep foods which are safe for humans, but not for dogs, shut firmly out of your pets reach... also be careful which household cleaners you use [and also store them in a safe place]... and check both indoor plants and garden plants to see if they are safe for your pets.

The following two websites both give helpful lists and advice on the plants front...

Why not bookmark our website so that you know where to find all the health and safety tips for your pet in one place?

Amusing? Or deadly serious? You tell me!

I received the 'Budget Alternative' via an extremely circuitous route!

[UK readers will know that Mr Darling is the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Labour Government and that he has recently delivered his Budget for this year.]

Readers from other countries will probably find this just as pertinent to the way their governments are managing their finances...

This has NOTHING to do with the Lhasa Apso, or other dog breeds, so I am just leaving it up for the month of June - read and enjoy - we all need something to laugh [or cry] at in the current world financial crisis!

The 'Budget Alternative' follows within quotes...

"Subject: Fw: Budget Alternative

Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's

economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks

that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned

bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the

Patriotic Retirement Plan:


There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work

force.. Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early

retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings -

Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars

ordered - Automotive Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -

Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school / college / university - Crime rate fixed

5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week - there's your

money back in duty / tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of

parliament pay back there falsely claimed expenses and

second home allowances


If you think this would work, please forward to everyone

you know."

Lhasa Apso ear cleaning

The easiest way to do anything - from checking your pets feet and claws to examining his or her ears is to first get your pet used to being handled all over! Make a fuss of them and handle their ears, look into them, examine their mouths so that later you will be able to clean their teeth, handle their feet and examine them... then give them a treat for being calm whilst these procedures are being done.

Examine their ears weekly, more often in summer when they may get grass seeds into them, and then this can start off an infection. [Once an infection has started it is probably best to take your Lhasa Apso to your veterinarian.]

Pet-Supermarket stocks vet approved ear washes, or you can go directly to your vet and ask for a recommendation for a product to clean your pets ears. Do be careful to use only approved cleaners, as some cleaners can set up allergic reactions in your pet and their ears can swell up at a frightening rate - then you will have to rush to your vet for treatment.

Remember when cleaning your pets ears that you should use a cotton wool swab with the cleaner on it - under no circumstances should you try to clean where you cannot see. You could very easily damage the ear canal, your pet might move at the wrong time and be hurt. Cotton buds should only be used, if you particularly want to use them, for around the ear flaps... but a cotton wool swab is far safer.

After you have cleaned your pets ears, remember they will want to shake their heads and remove any residue - this can prove messy! Once this has been completed you could also add a drop of Otodex to their ears to keep mites away.

You can read about the various vet approved cleaners and treatments at
Pet-Supermarket which brings you the medications for less - with savings of up to 70% off compared to Vet prices

Lhasa Apso's health

Get all your professional quality summer health essentials now whilst you remember, and at way below the normal price... Pet-Supermarket for savings of up to 70% off compared to Vets prices.

Shampoo, wormer, flea and tick control... all the leading brands.

In the Northern Hemisphere the weather is hotting up, more pets are out and about with their owners - and there is a vastly increased chance of your pet catching one or other form of 'nasty' - especially as some owners aren't so particular as you are about clearing up after their pets!

Whilst you are In Store do check out the price of your favourite pet food and treats... there are some brilliant offers on at present!

Don't compromise your Lhasa Apso's health by forgetting to stock up on health essentials... REMEMBER... Pet-Supermarket brings you the same medications for less, with savings of up to 70% off compared to Vet prices.

[Note: Pet Supermarket is UK based, run by pet lovers for pet lovers. They supply worldwide, click the top right 'Delivery' option to check out costs and delivery times, etcetera.]
