Miss Squeaks Get Your Furbaby Ready For Winter.

'

Okay so it's nearly winter in the land down under and I am getting little Miss Mildred all ready with some cute warm coats uggboots and extra warm pyjamas! As she is a smooth coated Chihuahua she finds the cold a little stressful as I have only had her for 5 months now I know she doesn't like it when it gets cold she loves to get under my blankets in my bed so my lovely aunt made Miss Mildred a sleeping bag and she just loves to get in to it and snuggle up and stay warm and on the bright side it keeps her fur from getting on everything and I am sure you all know about that issue. So lets talk about what and how to dress our furbaby.

  I am going to talk about Miss Mildred and her 

breed first then give some more tips on other furbaby types. And what to do if your furbaby gets frostbite or hypothermia so lets get started.

 Chihuahuas originated in hot dry climates where a single-layer coat of skinny fur was adequate insulation. Their tiny size combined with their skinny coat makes them particularly susceptible to ice, cold and snow within the winter. For the most effective winter protection, emphasise form over more in your pup's wardrobe.

Tip 1
Dress your Chihuahua in a very soft knit sweater. tiny knit sweaters slide additional more simply a jacket than the chunky knit selection. Sweaters are necessary and effective insulators, however the unwoven porous material will not shield your pup from icy winds. If you save cash in the winter by lowering the warmth, a sweater is critical for your Chihuahua inside.

Tip 2
Cover your Chihuahua's sweater with a doggy jacket. select a practically designed jacket without elaborations that get to him, like faux-fur necklines or poorly fitted hoods. select snaps and clips over Velcro. you are going to be putting this coat on your pup many times every day for many months, and frequent use makes Velcro patches less effective.

Tip 3
Put tiny winter booties on your Chihuahua's feet before grappling the icy salt-covered streets. The chemicals in salt will simply become compact within your tiny pup's paw, inflicting painful burning and irritation. Boots conjointly shield him from exposure. as a result of your Chihuahua only stands a number of inches off the bottom, it does not take a lot of snow before his paws are fully submerged in chilling snow and developing injury.

Some tips for other breeds of Furbabys 

Pets have a troublesome time once the cold weather sets in, therefore knowing the way to give proper take care of dogs outside in winter's frosty conditions is extremely necessary I recommends that pets live inside, however once your canine companion has to spend time outdoors throughout the winter, the following tips will help keep him happy, safe, and healthy.

Before the mercury drops, you'll be able to take some steps to organize your dog for the change in seasons. Puppies and geriatric dogs will be more at risk of dangers from the cold. Pets with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, or renal disorder will have larger problem regulation their temperature and also are at increased risk. Breeds with long hair or thick coats can usually be more tolerant of the cold in comparison to hairy  dogs. According to the ASPCA, your pet's fur mustn't be clipped short throughout the winter, and lots of breeds of dog can take pleasure in a dog sweater or coat. In the colder  weather conditions. 

Tips for House Furbabys.

House dogs that spend the bulk of their time within can notice explosive exposure to the cold quite a shock. simply because dogs have fur doesn't mean that they do not feel the coolness, and a few breeds of dogs are more liable to cold than others. Dogs with downy or long coats do fancy a larger degree of insulation than short-haired dogs, however even the most effective insulated dogs can still feel the contrast in temperatures once stepping outside

If a dog is allowed to play outside, monitor him closely and bring him in if he starts to shiver or whine.

Help rheumatic or older pets once they are faced with stairs or ice. Slips and falls are more common, like folks.

Limit the length of your pet's walk in cold temperatures. once it drops below freezing, your pet ought to spend no more than ten to fifteen minutes outdoors.

Clear snow and ice to assist encourage tiny dogs to eliminate outside. tiny breeds will be trained to urinate and excrete on paper or diaper-like pads inside once weather is simply too extreme. Avoid outdoor journeys completely once the temperature or wind chill reaches below freezing.

Even inside, your pet could feel the cold. make sure that your dog's favorite bed is in a location free from drafts.

Pet clothing will facilitate to supply some extra insulation. make sure that you dry any wet article of clothing completely before dressing up your Furbaby. Protective boots also are on the market.

Dangers within the Cold

Even with their fur coats, dogs are prone to frostbite. Severe tissue injury can occur with prolonged exposure to the cold and happens most typically within the extremities like the ear tips, paws, or tail. the foremost danger happens once the temperature or wind chill are close to or below freezing. a number of the symptoms of frostbite include:

Pale, gray, or light-blue discoloration of the affected skin

The area is cold or brittle to the touch

Sometimes the signs of frostbite aren't instantly visible and may develop days after the exposure. Treatment include mild and gradual rewarming with warm water . Dry the area after and keep your furbaby warm. Get veterinary care as promptly as possible to try to stop complications like infection.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia happens once a dog's core vital sign drops below the traditional range. varied factors confirm the temperature at that your pet is in danger of hypothermia. Temperatures below freezing are the foremost dangerous. Having a wet coat also will increase the chance. Some dogs will even develop hypothermia at temperatures on top of physical change if they're little breeds, have very little fur, or are outdoors for a prolonged quantity of your time. hypothermia is severe if unrecognized and untreatedsigns of hypothermia will include:

Shivering or trembling

First aid will be provided if you're concerned that your  furbaby is affected by hypothermia. Gradual rewarming with a blanket or hot water bottles is safest. get veterinary care if you suspect that your Furbaby is affected by severe hypothermia, or if your baby is showing symptoms apart from shivering or mild lethargy.

Protect Your Furbabys  Paws From Salt.

Watch out for your furbabys pads and feet in winter time as well.  In keeping with the ASPCA, a number of the rock salt used will be irritating to your Furbabys feet. Different dangers, like puddles of the very dangerous poisonous substance, antifreeze, can also end up on your furbabys feet and fur. Wipe your furbabys feet off with a warm and wet towel when he comes back inside from the snow. Ice balls will accumulate on the fur of the feet and may become painful. The snow may also mask dangers like sharp ice or metal. Lacerations of the feet and pads are more common within the winter months and will prompt a veterinary visit.

Miss Squeak Things You Should Know About Chihuahuas.

Hello and welcome to my blog about Chihuahuas.

Today I thought why not talk about Miss Mildreds breed 

a little bit more in depth so here is what I came up with.

Anyone with a chihuahua furbaby with know you can't be out of there sight for long before they come and sniff you out. As my 

Miss Mildred just loves to be with she is my shadow and if given the chance she will even get in the shower with me i know scary huh,

 We live in Perth Western Australia  as it is very hot in the summer and even in winter time its cold but not cold enough for snow ! So Miss Mildred is about to have her first winter and yes i have everything all at the ready warm furry onies coat with ugg boots and a knitted hat as she gets cold in summer.

My little furbaby is always wanting to be on me in my bed or you know just around me where ever I am you can guess she will be there too , even in the basket of my bike , But enough about that here are a few things you might also need to know about the Chihuahua .

The chihuahua, with its apple-dome skull and enormous bright eyes, will wear a remarkably human expression at times; she or he can wish to be with you most, if not all of the time.

Warning don’t purchase a chihuahua if you don’t have the emotional assets in your heart or the time for the whole love and a spotlight of this hairy  very little pet. they're like kids.

a few generalisations is may be. chihuahuas are swish, energetic, and swift-moving canines. described typically been made as having “terrier-like” qualities; that is, the qualities of being alert, observant, and keen on interacting with their masters. they're very loyal and get hooked up to at least one or two persons.

these little and typically teacup size dogs are definitely unaware of their diminutive stature: they'll be daring with alternative dogs a lot of larger than themselves, and protecting of their masters. they're ferociously loyal to their masters and cautious of any strangers or new guests introduced into the family, that the chihuahua considers to be its personal domain. for these reasons, chihuahuas make good watch dogs (not guard dogs!).

the chihuahua wants a good deal of human contact: touching, petting, and general attention. if the chihuahua doesn't get this, she or he can use varied attention-getting tricks till you offer her/him attention. like exploitation paws to gently scratch the hand, a symbol that claims, “pet me now!” some house owners who have had alternative, a lot of freelance breeds could realize the chihuahua too needy. however, they furnish plenty of love} and affection in return for your care.

keeping more than one chihuahua will greatly ease the dog’s stress once left alone every day if the owner works. they'll contend for your attention after you get home although. though they're naturally light, loyal, and sweet-tempered, chihuahuas are ideal for single folks, the old, the disabled, and shut-ins.

chihuahuas can keep you company for hours by lying on your lap or beside your body if in bed, and treat you as if you are royalty. No one with a chihuahua in their social unit can ever be really alone. they're quite happy in residences, as long as there's enough to play with and explore.

Opinions differ on the way to bath a chihuahua. Some say that bathing too much removes the natural oils from the coat, and so dandruff can result and therefore the coat can look boring. others say that shampooing every now and then with good brands of shampoo will really enhance the shininess of the coat. chihuahuas ought to be bathed a minimum of two times a month, otherwise they develop an unpleasant smell. this is often really as a result of the skin cells that humans sloth off onto the chihuahua! therefore humans are the most contributors to it smell that may develop.

when bathing, pay attention to not get water into their ears, as an infection might develop. You may have to trim their nails a minimum of once a month too. on the smaller dogs, cat claw trimmers will be used. it’s smart to begin a nail clipping routine timely in order that your dog becomes aware of your handling its paws to not mention getting accustomed the clippers. Furbaby owners should even be aware that chihuahuas are susceptible to knee issues like luxating patellas or “weak knees.” this could occur as they grow old. if it causes issue in walking, take your dog to the vet.

Additionally, some breeders give pedigree papers that trace the parents on the far side the immediate oldsters. these papers are important if you propose to enter your new dog into exhibitions and competitions. these certificates and papers make sure that the dog could be a purebred; but, simply because a dog has papers, doesn’t mean it's any more special than a pup bought from a friend.

When shopping for a leash for your chihuahua, keep in mind that its neck is quite little and delicate compared to alternative dog’s necks. you can't (and, indeed, should not) yank your dog around by the leash. a body-harness for little dogs is suggested for a few reasons: safety and comfort. if fitted right, it'll offer your pet a secure and comfy walk, and harnesses additionally guarantee your dog cannot run into traffic or an even bigger creature.

Chihuahuas additionally like many little meals per day, instead of one huge meal. they're uptight dogs. “high-strung” defined outlined as: barks easily, doesn't adapt easily to change in surroundings, is suspicious of strangers and can growl at them, and flips in a circle and jumps around once excited (Like when you get back inside from getting the mail). Your friends might see the worst aspect of them and never believe you once you tell them that your very little furbaby is basically a delicate, sweet-natured dog.

Owners should be terribly sensitive to the actual fact that short-haired chihuahuas, and even hairy  ones, are prone to the cold it is suggested that you just dress your chihuahua in a warm dog sweater for walks. Walking your chihuahua in temperatures that are very low is powerfully discouraged, particularly when there's a wind-chill issue.

In this, as in different aspects of dog maintenance, keep your dogs’ health prime priority, not your own need. it's a characteristic of the chihuahua to choose to sleep beneath a a sheet or blanket. they're going to even get beneath pillows in order to feel comfortable. if you're raising a pup, take care to supply them with a soft towel or blanket in their sleeping space so that they will burrow beneath it. Please don’t be stunned if your chihuahua scrambles beneath your blankets in the dead of night, despite the fact that your house or lodging might not be notably cold.

Chihuahuas are quite the sun-worshipers. they like to cherish the sun for hours and are known  to dwell a spot of sun no larger than the dimensions of a half-dollar! sadly, they're not wise in this regard and can keep within the sun even once panting begins.

watching your chihuahua in hot weather to take care that they don’t suffer from heat stroke is a real chihuahua health concern. chihuahuas do shiver once they’re cold, however they additionally shiver once they are cautious, excited, unhappy, or frightened. this is often a result of having a high metabolism, and is a traditional characteristic of this breed.

Hope this has help a few furbaby owners out ! 

Miss Mildred has fallen asleep while I was typing this she is just adorable and sweet .

Miss Squeak Talks Chihuahuas.

Miss Squeak here and today I am going to talk about Chihuahuas and a few tips and tricks i have learnt along the way with my little furbaby Miss Mildred, And trust me it might just help you out in the long run, in the picture below is my little girl she was stung by a bee and the stinger was still in her bottom lip I was so scared I was shaking just the her . And do you think she would allow me anywhere near her and simple no was the answer. I had to wrap her in a blanket just to get the stinger out then I put ice on  the area she was stung . Yet I was still concerned about the swelling as her little cute face was starting to look like a apple alright one without a nose. I had called my vet who told me if the swelling didn't stop to give her some antihistamine to stop the swelling and the reaction very scary indeed as I had only had Miss Mildred for two months but after giving her the medicine and putting the ice on her the swelling it started to ease up but her cute Chihuahua face was still swollen for a few more days silly little girl , what are some of the scary things your furbaby has done?  Do tell me in the moments below I would love to know.

                 

Now lets get ready to  start . Chihuahua Potty-Training and Breaking-in Potty-training is a vital method that each owner should undergo with their Chihuahua. Unless you propose on keeping your in a confined yard (not recommended), you'll need to show them to use the lavatory outside and not within the house. sadly, however, Chihuahuas have a infamous name for being a breed that is tough and downright stubborn to train. In fact, some homeowners throw in the flag and easily lay out pee pads for them instead. the reality is that practically any Chihuahua, regardless of however old they're, will be toilet-trained once it's done properly and under the correct circumstances.
Although Chihuahuas may be successfully toilet-trained at any age, it's suggested that you simply begin as shortly you bring them into your home, ideally once they are still a puppy. throughout the primary 6-12 months of a Chihuahua's life, their brains are developing at a speedy pace so, they're going to naturally catch on to routines and consistency. you'll use this to your advantage by ingraining the fundamental potty-training commands in your Chihuahua's head. once they learn these principles at an early age, it'll keep it up with them well into their adult years, creating the potty-training method easier for the each of you. 

Chihuahua Potty-Training - where should I Start?How to house-break your Furbaby Chihuahua It's easy to feel lost and confused once you first bring your Chihuahua home. you are busy making an attempt to line up their bed, ensure they have food, water, blankets, and you are probably busy fidgeting with them also. whereas all of this fine, you wish to put potty-training at the highest of your list of priorities for them. As stated above, it's crucial that you just begin teaching them the fundamentals of wherever using the lavatory is appropriate and where it is not.
Before you begin trying to potty-train your Chihuahua, you will need to pick up a couple of basic things first. these things are necessary to encourage smart behavior, also as stop unhealthy behavior. Here are the items you may need:
1-2 boxes of little milk bone treats for pleasing smart behavior.
A crate that is simply large enough for your Chihuahua to stand up and switch around in.Small, comfy bed with a few soft blankets.Soft, non-abrasive collar with a leash that is a minimum of 10-feet long.  Potty-Training BasicsOne of the key factors to successfully potty-training your Chihuahua is letting them grasp once they do one thing bad. once you see them do their business on the ground within your home, quickly walk over to them and at once say "No!" or "Bad boy/girl!" you ought to never physically spank or hit your Chihuahua, as this could injure them and make it tougher to coach them. Instead, continue a powerful verbal statement letting them grasp that what they did is unacceptable. Chihuahuas are quite emotional, and verbally telling them no while pointing at them is all it takes to urge the message across. No matter however hard you are trying to stop it, accidents can happen. It's an inevitable a part of owning any indoor dog, despite the breed, therefore do not expect your Chihuahua to be any completely different. when you see them piss or pooping within the house, tell them "No!" and walk them outside. while you are walking them, say one thing on the lines of "go potty" or "go pee-pee," as this can help them associate the words with the pottying behavior. it's going to take a while, however stay patient and wait for them to try and do their business. once they are smart and use the toilet outside, offer them a milk bone treat along side countless kissing and praise as a gift for his or her sensible behavior. Treats go a long ways once it involves potty-training and obedience coaching, therefore use them to your advantage.
Another very little trick I've learned that helps to potty-train a Chihuahua is to continuously take them to constant place outside to try and do their business. Chihuahuas have a keen sense of smell and can be able to tell wherever they've used the toilet before. once they encounter a section they've already used the toilet at, they're going to instinctively believe it's a suitable space. you'll begin walking your Chihuahua to alternative parts of the yard once they're older and totally pot-trained, however stick with a chosen space throughout their early puppy years.  This has really worked for me as when   we got Miss Mildred she had been crated with her brothers and sisters and not really potty trained at all and she would just wee and poo any where I had to be on the ball watching her every move and as you have your furbaby Chihuahua you will learn your pups habits Miss Mildred starts to sniff the ground and then starts to circle its her way of letting  me know she needs out . Now she will sit at the  backdoor and give it a scratch. But trust me our little Furbaby Chihuahuas have tiny bladders around the size of a shot glass so if they drink a lot a lots needs to come back out. And sometimes we have a tiny wee wee on the floor big deal don't sweat the small stuff its easy to clean up so keep up with the training and you too can have a toilet trained pup. Good luck and come read again .

Miss Squeaks Furbaby Safety Commands .

So it's a  new day so it's a new blog for me . Lets talk about some basic commands that your furbaby will need to know help keep them safe and sound and out of harms way. Because we all know that vet bills can cost a lot so lets get started.
We teach our kids basic commands that they  have to understand so to prevent them from running out in front of a automobile or putting something dangerous in their mouth. Furbabys ought to also be instructed  commands for identical reason. Whether or not you adopt a puppy or like an older dog because it fits better together with your life style, there are certain basic commands each dog ought to understand. Their safety may depend upon.

“Come” means that to prevent what he’s doing and come back to you. It’s a straightforward command to show, associate degreed necessary in an emergency, if he ought to break loose from his leash or pen, or leap out the outside door once company arrives. The return command helps you control things a lot of easier, and permits you to keep your dog out of harm’s approach.

“Sit” is another straightforward command each dog ought to understand. Dogs get excited once they’re preparing to travel outside or go for a walk. Some have a tough time waiting whereas supper is being ready and a few dogs go bats once the push button rings. Teaching your dog to take a seat and wait helps subdue their excitement thus you'll be able to answer the door, finish their supper or get their leash hooked up to their collar. The sit command additionally works well to keep them from jumping up on individuals.

“Stay” is tougher for a few dogs to be told, however it’s well well worth the time and patience it takes to show it. Dogs don’t continuously perceive they might be at risk, and using stay will stop them from running ahead of a automobile or grabbing one thing they shouldn’t have. It offers you time to get rid of the danger or wait till it’s gone. Staying will be hard for a dog to try and do once he sees one thing he desires, particularly if it’s a cat or squirrel within the yard across the street; but, it’s a necessary command each puppy and dog ought to understand.

“Drop it.” how many times have you ever tried to wrestle one thing out of your dog’s mouth? They don’t understand that the chicken bone clamped between their teeth is harmful for them. rather than you prying their mouth open to retrieve whatever they’ve picked up, the drop it command makes life abundantly easier for you. Knowing this command additionally makes taking part in fetch at lot more fun once your dog returns the ball to you and drops it at your feet or in your hand therefore you'll provides it another toss.

“Leave it” is another sensible command for dogs to grasp, as a result of it can offer you peace of mind knowing they won’t grab one thing they shouldn’t have. Dogs will simply swallow no matter what they’ve picked up if they assume you would like to require it away from them. And dogs are best-known to swallow needles, safety pins and different tiny objects before their homeowners might retrieve the item. The leave it command tells the dog it’s not for him.

“Wait.” This command is usually utilised in conjunction with stay though they're 2 totally different commands used for various reasons. A more energetic dog might have to be keep in restraint for a brief time. Wait tells him it’s not time to travel and he should stay still  until you let him know he can move.

“Okay” could be a command each dog ought to grasp as a result of this releases them from the other command you’ve given him. Okay merely means that the dog is liberated to move.

“No” tells your dog he can’t have one thing, or to prevent doing what he’s doing. No ought to be used to stop unwanted behaviour like chewing, jumping up on you or somebody else, or biting.

“Heel” helps you control your dog while on a walk and after you are around people or dogs. rather than permitting your dog to tug on his leash, heel puts him by your side wherever you've got better management of him should you meet another dog or person while walking.

“Off.” Not everybody enjoys having a dog jump up on them. This command tells them to remain down and to not jump informed you or somebody else. It additionally keeps your dog off the article of furniture.

“Stand” could be a command each dog should know because it makes it easier after you try to offer him a shower or groom him. Teaching him to stand is additionally an enormous help throughout vet examinations or when you try to look at him yourself.

So I hope some of my Commands I have offered up here help you with your furbaby .

Sports fanatics rejoice! Nowadays there is more then one way to show your love to your favourite team. Its certain they need a mascot and maybe already have one, however you recognise your pet is cuter anyway. Miss Mildred has her West Coast Eagles jumper she wears with pride. And her AFL football team made it to the grand final and we know its because she wore her jumper every time they played hahaha.

Wacky Holidays Are Often a Bonding Experience.

Even one thing as silly as spending every day dressing up your pet is time spent together, and your pet relishes it.

Worst comes To Worst, The New Outfit Will Make A Decent Chew Toy.

So your furbaby doesn’t just like the outfit you picked out. Big deal. He’ll flip it into a chew toy instead and everybody can still be happy. (Of course, do not permit your furbaby to chew on something he will presumably choke on.)

Add A Bit Of Variety to the Routine.

The majority of days during a pet’s life are quite routine. Eating, napping, going for walks … spice up life with every day dress ups that sounds fun and  stand out from the other furbabys ! I love to dress Miss Mildred in all kinds of outfits to suit her mood and to protect her for the elements hence shoes and a cute sundress to keep the sun off her fragile skin and ugg boots with warm woolies of winter weather!

What Pet Wouldn’t Wish To Be the Center of Attention?

Is there anything pets love more than being the center of attention? No? So Dress your Furbaby up and he or she is certain to receive a lot of attention from anyone he or she comes across.

You Wear Garments, Your Furbaby Needs To Wear Them Too.

Does your pet wish to follow you around? Sit on the couch when you sit on the couch? Go outside once he sees you heading to the door? If the solution is affirmative, it's safe to mention that something you are doing, your pet will wish to try and do similarly. We think that includes dressing up. I love to dress up my furbaby Miss Mildred not only because she look cute and pretty but because it helps her to stay warm as she is a chihuahua she can become cold very easily so most of the time she will have a cute little play dress on , but when its cold and raining outside I will put on her warm coat that has legs to keep her warm all over then as she doesn't like to get her little feet wet I put ugg boot on her so she can run around and not get wet at all and it helps to keep my house dirt and sand free .

Miss Squeak Talks How To Stop Your Furbaby From Chewing !

Okay lets talk about your Furbay chewing you stuff and a few helpful tips and trick to curb this habit.  Inappropriate chewing could be a fairly common drawback in young dogs and stems from the very fact that puppies use their mouths as a way of exploring the planet around them. Chewing could be a traditional behaviour for puppies however becomes undesirable behaviour once it's directed towards inappropriate objects like your shoes, furniture, or maybe your hands and feet. If inappropriate chewing isn't corrected then it will cause wide scale destruction of private property, medical issues and erosion of the human-animal bond.

A dog’s deciduous teeth can erupt between 3 to eight weeks older and around four to 6 months older these teeth are going to be step by step replaced with permanent teeth. growth could be a painful method and puppies chew additional throughout this period of your time as a result of their gums are terribly irritated during this point and also the act of chewing relieves their discomfort. Inappropriate chewing is presumably to occur while the puppy is teething however if not corrected will become a long standing downside even after all the adult teeth emerge and growth ends.puppies use their mouths as a way of exploring the planet around them. chewing could be a traditional behavior for puppies however becomes undesirable behavior once it's directed towards inappropriate objects like your shoes, furniture, or maybe your hands and feet. If inappropriate chewing isn't corrected then it will cause wide scale destruction of private property, medical issues and erosion of the human-animal bond.

Rule out medical problems. The first step is to make sure that your puppy does not have any serious medical problems. Nutritional deficiencies caused by poor diet and/or intestinal parasitism can lead to pica which may be misconstrued as inappropriate chewing. Gastrointestinal problems may cause nausea which can trigger chewing as a coping mechanism. Therefore it is important to make an appointment with your veterinarian to rule out an underlying medical condition that may be causing or contributing to the dog chewing.

Puppy proofing. Look around your environment for possible dangers to your inquisitive puppy. Place household cleaners and chemicals out of reach along with potentially toxic plants. Electrical cords should be covered or made inaccessible to prevent chewing on them resulting in electrocution. Remove objects of curiosity that might appeal to your puppy such as shoes and socks, children’s toys and the like. Block access to rooms that have not been puppy proofed and consider crate training your dog for the times when he cannot be supervised.

Encourage appropriate chewing. Provide appropriate chew toys for your dog to enjoy. Each dog will have their own personal preference as to what they prefer to chew and play with. Be careful with rawhide and beef bones as determined chewers can whittle them down to smaller pieces that can be swallowed. They can end up becoming lodged in the esophagus or small intestine so supervision is recommended when giving these treats and be sure to take away any small pieces that might be swallowed. Avoid chicken bones since they splinter easily creating sharp fragments that can easily puncture your dog’s gastrointestinal tract. I prefer nylabones, greenies and dental chewsticks since they encourage appropriate chewing while combating dental disease. Dog toys such as balls and kongs may appeal to your dog, just be sure to select a size that is appropriate for your dog. They should be able to pick it up and carry it but it should be of sufficient bulk that it cannot be swallowed. If you buy your dog a kong type toy check, make sure the hole in the toy is not so big that the dog can get his lower jaw stuck in it.I have seen several emergency cases where a dog comes in with a toy stuck in his mouth. Do not give toys that resemble inappropriate items; for example do not give your dog an old shoe to chew on because he will not know the difference between the old chew shoe and a brand new pair.

Discourage inappropriate chewing. By following step two you will have already minimised the amount of mischief your young dog can get into. If you do find your dog chewing on something inappropriate correct the dog by taking the object away and scolding him. Direct his attentions to an appropriate chew object and give praise when he chews on said object. Gradually, your dog will learn what objects are his and which are not. Sometimes it can be difficult to discourage chewing if the pattern is already established. Taste deterrents such as bitter apple can applied to the object, the noxious taste will hopefully deter the determined chewer and he will learn to leave the object alone.

Engage in playtime with your dog. A tired dog is a good dog! Spend time playing and exercising with your dog on a regular basis. This not only reinforces the human-animal bond but expends energy that your dog might be otherwise directed to inappropriate chewing and behaviours.
