A hypoallergenic dog would be wonderful because he would not trigger your allergies. Although there is no such thing as a non-allergenic dog, some dogs are certainly better than others. The first advantage of a hairless dog is that he is going to produce fewer allergens than dogs with fur. If you have allergies or if you have asthma, this is a wonderful thing.
There is another advantage of a hairless dog that is so obvious. No hair! This is great because it means that you’ll have very little to clean up. You won’t have to vacuum all the time, in your home or in your car.
The third advantage is that hairless dogs attract attention. Since most dogs have hair, when people see a hairless dog they get very excited. If you like talking to other people and striking up conversations, hairless dogs are perfect. They’re great for parties. A hairless dog will definitely break the ice.

Veterinarians tell us that hyperthyroidism is very common stype of hormonal disorder seen in older cats, and even some middle aged cats. This occurs when the thyroid glands begain producing large amounts of thyroid hormones. Often this happens as a result of a benign throid tumor (adenoma); however, vets doe not know what causes the tumor to develop in cats.
For informational purposes, thyroid glands are paired glands located in the neck and they secrete thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is important because it controls metabolic rate of an animal. Cats with hyperthyroidism have an increased metabolic rate, and thus they tend to use up excessive amounts of energy within their bodies. This means that your cat may be eating more and always hungry, but still seems to be losing weight. This is one of the most common clinical signs of hyperthyroidism. Some other signs may include a patchy haircoat and hyperactivity. The onset of this disease is usually very slow, and signs are usually not recognized until they are severe. Sometimes, the hyperthyroid state can exist for months to years before becoming severe enough for the owner to recognize the clinical signs.

American Foxhound is sweet, kind, loyal, and loving at home. They can make fine pets, but as with all hounds they need careful training, excellent socialization and owners that are willing to give them ample exercise. Like Greyhounds, they can live successfully in city apartments, but they require regular opportunities to exercise. They cannot be expected to act like retrievers, because though affectionate, they are independent by nature. On the hunt the foxhound is a warrior. Once a scent is picked up, the foxhound will follow it, neglectful of commands.

CAUSES:
Bacterial (food poisoning – salmonella) or viral infections, organ infections or failure, foreign material, travel sickness, parasite infections, food allergies and gorging food, mega-oesophagus and normal regurgitation.
At the first sign of vomiting remove available food and water. You will then need to assess the overall condition (brightness) of the dog or pup whether it is very poor or normal. If it is very flat and depressed after vomiting just wait 1/2 an hour and re-assess. If no better, take it to your vet ASAP. Animals dehydrate very quickly especially young pups. There is a number of causes that all need veterinary attention in this situation.
The dog often needs intravenous fluids containing essential electrolytes (Salts) It will also be given drugs and medicines to counteract the effects of vomiting. A cause will also be researched at the examination. I.e. diet, vaccination status, age, history etc.

My dog Tyke is a Border Collie. Border Collies have a “double coat” consisting of an outer or “guard” coat and an undercoat. Although they should only be given a bath when needed, it’s necessary to have them groomed regularly to keep their coat shiny, smooth and healthy, especially during their winter and summer shedding periods. And yes, as Tyke has two coats, I need two different rakes to groom him!
I like grooming Tyke, not only because spending that extra quality time together strengthens my bond with him, but also because I may discover developing health problems like a tumor sooner rather than later.

Most whippets live for 12 to 15 years. They are generally healthy, and are not prone to the frequent ear infections, skin allergies, or digestive problems that afflict other breeds. Genetic eye defects have been found in the breed, but are still very rare. Because of this threat, the American Whippet Club recommends that all breeders have the eyes checked clear on their breeding stock. Hip dysplasia is not a problem in whippets. Undescended testicles are common in the breed. Whippets, like many sighthounds, are sensitive to barbiturate anaesthetics. The heart of a whippet is large and slow beating, often being arhythmic or even intermittent when the animal is at rest, sometimes causing concern to the owner, or to the vet not experienced with this breed. The whippet will demonstrate regular heartbeat during exercise.
