Impetigo is a common skin issue found with puppies, but it does require the attention of a vet as it will not subside on its own, it does need treatment.

If your puppy does have Impetigo, this could be a one-time skin issue with its abdomen area or it could last for the puppy’s entire life as some skin conditions do not ever go away permanently, even with treatment.

Your vet will have to treat your puppy to ascertain if this is a one-time situation or, if your puppy and its breed is permanently predisposed to carry this skin condition for the duration of its life, which can still be treatable and put it into remission temporarily.

You may have a large sized dog and looking at the very large linked chains at your local hardware store may seem like a good idea for keeping your dog from escaping once it is tied up, but…would you want to be wearing a collar that had that heavy chain attached to it?

The wear and tear on a dog’s neck from these types of chains can actually cause permanent damage from chafing and also cause your dog a great deal of pain.

Lean more towards a very durable rope or another more light weight item, this will be easier on your dog’s neck and it will also keep it from harming itself if it chooses to wrap the lead around things like its doghouse or other items in your yard, even a tree or bush.

Now, instead of getting angry, you will be able to properly enjoy your cat and your cat can go back to enjoying you being calm, cool an ... Read more »

Your dog learns by your example, so if you are mean to your dog via aggression, you are teaching it aggression. If you are standoffish with your dog and show it limited affection, then that is what it learns…you get the idea.

For the most part, your dog is going to behave how it has been taught to behave by you or whoever owned your dog as a puppy, but still is influenced by you and your behaviour.

Being a good dog owner with positive influence on your dog will reflect in your dog’s positive behaviour. What you put into your dog is what you will get from it, so if you are less than pleased with your canine, you might want to re-evaluate your own behaviour and how you treat your dog.
