As a pet owner, you wish your dog or cat to always be in good health. But pet emergencies can happen anytime, and it is a good idea to be prepared to cope with conditions like simple injuries, accidents, natural disasters, and more. While it makes sense to ask a professional vet for help in such situations, the best way to tend to your dog until the vet arrives is to use a first aid kit.

When is it time to start considering the transition into end of life veterinary care? Well, that depends on your pet’s health situation. In most cases age is the simple cause, and your pet is approaching the final stages of it’s joyous life. In some cases, a terminal illness could be causing your pet pain and difficulty. If your pet’s quality of life is deteriorating, and you notice signs of behavioural and physical discomfort or distress, it is time to consider the next steps.

Before adopting a rescue dog, it’s important to plan carefully. Prepare your family so everyone is consistent with training, positive reinforcement, and setting boundaries. Check your home for hazards, escape routes, and anything that could be dangerous. Take it slow when introducing your new pet to people, places, and other pets. Be patient as your dog adjusts and reveals their personality—persistence and positivity are key. Most of all, enjoy the love and companionship that makes it all worthwhile!

So, maybe dogs can’t determine how much we love them, but do dogs love us? It’s fair to say that they are probably big fans of humans: Studies have shown that oxytocin levels surge for both dogs and humans when we’re hanging out or gazing into each others’ eyes.

We tell our dogs we love them every day, but do our dogs know how much we love them? Do dogs understand the concept of love?
