News of President Biden's dog having a rough adjustment to life in the White House came out last week, with the information that the dog bit someone inside the home, and did his outside business, well, inside. Only 3 Presidents (including Donald Trump) did not have a White House dog. So what's up? One vet gave us her opinion. "It’s not surprising that the Bidens’ dogs are having a bit of trouble adjusting to life in the White House. In fact, it would be more surprising if the dogs weren’t bothered at all. Think about the experience from a human perspective first: if you would find it stressful to move to another state, to another home much different than what you were used to, with... Read more →

by Mike Powell | CNBNews Contributor Swan on the Lake (image Pixabay) The warm season calls for a much-deserved vacation—the only time you get to turn off your work notifications, find a house sitter, and pack your bags to savor every moment outside. But, if you are like many people, you may need a travel companion to make your stress-busting moments worthwhile. Before the vacation excitement goes all-time high, consider bringing your four-legged best friend with you! After all, they crave adventures too. Your dog has given you all the love and companionship you deserve, which means you should give him time off too. Because we believe that dogs deserve to revel in a fun getaway, we rounded up the best dog-friendly travel spots around... Read more →

Pets navigate and explore their surroundings with their noses and mouths. This, coupled with their curious nature can sometimes lead them into trouble.

(NAPSI)—Can you picture a member of your family attacking a mail carrier? Of course you couldn't, but it happened 5,714 times last year across the nation. Dearborn, Mich., letter carrier Tameka Toliver recalls being pinned on a porch by a dog that bit her above her knee. "It happened so fast, even with all my training, I barely had time to react," Toliver said last year. "I'm still scared when I get close to that house because I remember the attack so vividly. It takes a long time to get over the fear." When a dog attacks a letter carrier, the dog owner could be held liable for all medical expenses, repayment of lost work hours, replacement of the uniform and other costs, which can... Read more →

Getting a new dog can be exciting, scary, and overwhelming all at the same time, especially if you are adopting a rescue dog. Bringing a dog home is something that everyone within your home must be on board with, so make sure that they are fully committed as dogs can be hard work, especially if they have behavioral problems.

Easy-to-use, fast-acting therapy makes big difference in sick calves (NAPSI)—Newly weaned cattle don’t always handle changing temperatures and environments well, especially in the fall and winter when conditions can be more extreme. But by working closely with their veterinarian to have an effective treatment plan and proven therapeutic products on hand before cattle arrive, producers can more successfully control major health problems. According to Dr. Eric Moore, director of technical services for Norbrook Laboratories, respiratory diseases in cattle—specifically Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)—is one that producers will most likely encounter in the fall and winter. “It’s important producers immediately treat sick animals as soon as they are identified,” explains Dr. Moore. “The sooner producers can get sick animals treated with a fast-acting, broad-spectrum antibiotic such as...

(NAPSI)—A puppy named Mulligan has big paws to fill, but the mixed breed rescue dog is up to the challenge of becoming the new voice for the TurfMutt Foundation, says his new owner and guardian, Kris Kiser, President of the organization.

Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor Recently, I read a disturbing post on social media. In it, a broken-hearted dog owner bemoaned the fact that her puppy had been given over to a training facility which insisted on keeping the pup for eight weeks in order to train the dog properly. During that period of time the owner was not allowed to have any contact with the dog and all correspondence was via email messages. I expressed my disapproval and was promptly told by a representative of the training program that "nobody cares what you think." I would like to make myself clearly understood. At no time during the training of a dog should the owner step aside and let others train their pet. The removal from... Read more →

Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor Your dog looks to you for guidance. As a pack animal, he searches for your leadership as the Alpha. If that leadership is lacking he may assert himself, growling when you sit in "his" chair, snarling when you disturb him in the middle of "his" bed, and generally taking over your household. If you are noticing the above-mentioned behaviors it's time to reassess your position in the pack. Be firm but compassionate and show Fido that he is not a decision-maker. If he is on the furniture and shows possessiveness, place a lead around his neck and gently draw him down to the floor, praising him for getting down (even though it wasn't his idea). Do not allow him to be... Read more →

WESTAMPTON – The Burlington County Board of Commissioners celebrated the Burlington County Animal Shelter’s first adoption of 2021. Cooper, a 5-year-old smooth-coated Collie mix, was adopted Saturday by Edgewater Park resident Timesha Matchett and her family. Cooper had spent about two weeks at the shelter after being surrendered because his former owners were moving out of state with other family members. “Cooper is super sweet and friendly but was also very shy when he came in,” said Jackie Dennis, the shelter’s manager. “He quickly came around with all the attention and interaction he received and was put for adoption and scooped up by a lovely lady and her family.” Burlington County Commissioner Felicia Hopson said the first adoption from the shelter marked a happy start...

Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor Whether you’ve had your dog for a long time or he’s a recent addition the new year can bring about some wonderful changes in attitude and behavior for your entire family! A dog reacts by instinct—he does not understand “spiteful behavior”, nor does he have the capacity for anger. If you bear this philosophy in mind you will not be so upset when he seems to display these signs. When you assign human emotions to an animal you are practicing anthropomorphism. That is, you are treating your pet as though he were a human with all the associated capabilities. Folks often say that they believe their dogs are jealous. Keep in mind that jealousy is a humans-only emotion. Recognize that pack... Read more →

When the time comes to move that household, however, there are a few things you should consider to keep your four-legged family members happy and healthy. Moving with Pets 1.

(December 21, 2020)--Getting between two fighting dogs is rarely a good idea. However, there are some situations that require you to intervene to protect one dog from another. There are several safe methods that you can use to stop a dog fight if it becomes necessary. The Wheelbarrow Method This method requires two people. Each person grabs the back legs of their dog, pulling the dogs apart. The people then turn in a half circle so the dogs are no longer facing each other. This will immediately end the fight and keep the dogs separated until you can remove them from the situation completely. Pull the Collar If you are alone and are breaking up the fight, pull backward (not straight up) on one dog's... Read more →

Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor Some dogs seem to take up all your time. They cry for attention, interrupt your daily activities by pawing, staring, and even being destructive. If these behaviors occur on a regular basis it may be time to set some boundaries. Be gentle but firm when attention-seeking behaviors are unwarranted. Call a time out by putting a distance between you and Fido, either by crating him or sending him to another area of the room. When he calms down you can call him back, praise him, and resume your interrupted activities. Make sure your dog gets enough exercise and that his behavior is not the result of boredom or neglect. Check to see if he is in pain for any reason—illness or... Read more →

Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor On average, a middle-income American will change his place of residence 11.7 times. The family pet will likely be involved in several of those moves! You can ease Fido's anxiety about moving by taking him to the "new place" and allowing him to sniff and explore all the nooks and crannies. Take along an old towel or tee shirt and drop it on the floor so it will smell like the new places and bring it along to the house from which you currently reside. In that way your dog will associate the smells and feel less anxious about the move. Never leave Fido alone with filled packing boxes--his ongoing trepidation may initiate a destructive urge or cause him to "mark"... Read more →

A Very Old Man By Dawn O Watson/CNBNews Contributor Written in 1993. Winner of several literary awards.
