"Dogs can't be left alone for long periods of time." TRUE OR FALSE?

While it's true that dogs are social animals and benefit from regular interaction with humans, they can be left alone for reasonable periods of time as long as they have food, water, and appropriate stimulation (such as toys) and safe and comfortable and choice of areas to rest. It's important to consider an individual dog's specific needs and breed when determining how much alone time is appropriate. Also to take timet o build up the time they are left alone. Some dogs despise being left alone and some love it. If they hate it please do seek expert advice on how to help them and for adivce on how to manage it for your specific circumstances in the meantime.

Dogs can see TVs and screens, but they may not be as interested in them as humans are. This is because dogs' visual acuity is not as good as a human's, so they may not be able to see the small details on the screen as clearly. You may notice they only take note when animals are on the screen. I have often beleived that as TV's have gotten clearer the dogs can begin to make out the images, but without the scent to back it up it can be very confusing as a dogs world is as much if not more about how it smells.

"Dogs shouldn't be fed table scraps."??????

While it's true that some human foods can be harmful to dogs, many foods that are safe for humans can also be safe for dogs in moderation. It's important to do research and be mindful of any potential hazards, but it's okay to occasionally share small amounts of safe, appropriate human foods with your dog as a treat. Think about a few left over veggies from dinner - that way you also know you are not giving too many extra calories.

Foods to be wary off that can harm dogs - Large amounts of Garlic and Onion and Chives (this can also cause alot of bloating), Chocolate, Raisins/Sultanas, Grapes, Cob from corn of cob can cause obstruction, Cooked bones can splinter, Macadamia nuts, Avocados and check ingrediants do not contain Xylitol or birch sugar :-)

As always try your dog with a little something new but if they get alot of wind or sloppy poops do not feed again. Try Carrot, Peas, Brocolli, a little cheese, Turkey Mince (2% fat) - but just a little - say around 10% of their daily intake. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE and that goes for food too.
