"“A two-year-old dog is not the equivalent of a 50-year-old human. It levels off because it’s a nonlinear function,” he explains. “However, a 10-year-old dog best matches a 70-year-old person, so at the end of a dog’s life, it does follow the one-to-seven ratio.” quoted.

It has long been known humans and dogs age differently, but scientists have determined a better way to compare how dogs age compared to humans.

Is 90 degrees too hot for a dog?
While it depends on your specific animal and their breed, generally with lots of water, circulation of air, and shade, most pets will be fine in temperatures up to 90 degrees. But please remember there are no hard and fast rules here. Dogs don't sweat. They cool off by panting.

DON’T ASSUME THAT DOGS WANT TO BE PETTED

Just because you're okay with someone petting your dog, doesn't mean your dog is giving consent. Here's how and when to respectfully pet a dog.

Summer is here which means everyone is probably planning to spend more time outdoors with their pets. While outdoor fun and exercise is the best part of summer, be aware of seasonal hazards to avoid a visit to the veterinarian.

Such a problem for dogs these days.

Does your dog exhibit signs of canine seasonal allergies? Pollen, dust, and spores can affect our dogs just like they affect us. Learn how to treat their allergies.

"Feeding a diet that provides a lower caloric density, higher protein and higher fiber level will promote satiety, reduce potential begging behaviors and may prevent weight gain. A critical time to assess diet and feeding amounts is at the time of spay or neuter. It is our obligation as veterinarians to educate our clients on the changes that have occurred with this procedure. We can put steps in place to keep pets healthy and at an optimal body weight." quoted.

One of the most common questions we are asked as veterinarians is, “How much should I feed?”

There isn't a single reason behind this normal behavior.

My standard poodle almost died from Lyme's disease because it went undiagnosed way too long. We lived in an area where Lyme's disease wasn't present but we had vacationed in an area with the disease.

The veterinarian never thought to test for Lyme's and I forgot to tell him we had been in an area where is was prevalent.

Tick borne diseases can be very dangerous to humans and dogs, and we want Whole Dog Journal readers to be aware of all of their options.

When Not to Use a Retractable Leash:
* When you need to keep your dog at your side. The pet store or your vet’s office are not the place to allow your dog to wander.
When there are crowds of people. Your dog can inadvertently wrap the leash around somebody’s legs causing injury.
* When there are lots of other dogs. If two dogs interact, either in play or aggression, they can get tangled in the leash faster than you can react.
* When you are walking along the sidewalk. Your dog can easily tangle the leash around tree trunks or fire hydrants. It’s also too difficult to control your dog when pedestrians approach. Remember, not everybody is comfortable around dogs, so your dog shouldn’t be free to approach without permission.

A retractable dog leash can be convenient, but dog owners often use these leashes in the wrong circumstances or before the dog is ready.
