Fleas and Ticks: Heat Means Red Alert for Dogs and Cats

Image
If you care about your dog's health, you should buy a GPS for dogs with built-in monitor activity, like Kippy. With increasingly hot and humid seasons, fleas and ticks have unfortunately become unwanted guests for most of our pets. It doesn’t matter if your dog is mostly in the house or in the garden, attending dogs' areas or beauty shows, or just walking around the metropolitan streets; the chance to get in touch with these dull - and dangerous - outdoor parasites is getting more and more concrete. Recent studies have shown that animal infestations of these parasites have increased exponentially. And unfortunately they no longer take into account the seasons. In fact, we can find fleas and ticks on our pets even in autumn or winter, as a result of the weather getting hotter. Not only that, the infestations of these animals are also found in houses themselves. And once the parasites have taken possession of the domestic walls, eliminating them permanently becomes very...

Cinetosis or Car Sickness in Dog: Natural Emedies and Practical Tips

Image
An activity monitor integrated into a GPS device for dogs will allow you to keep their health under control. Car sickness - otherwise called cinetosis - is one of the most common disorders affecting dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Motion sickness is caused by an uncommon and irregular movement that disturbs the sensory pathways that are deputies to the control of balance. Normally, the receptors located in the inner ear of the dog (vestibular apparatus) help the animal adjust the body's position and movements. However, when the dog is in a vehicle and is not familiar with the travel-related sensation, his vestibular apparatus and associated nerve pathways are hyper stimulated, causing the onset of car sickness.  Cinetosis often begins to afflict our four-legged friend when he is still a puppy. In fact, it is very much associated with the feeling of unease and fear that the little one experiences when he arrives in his new home by the car of the family who will welcome him...

Intestinal parasites in the dog, how to defeat them naturally

Image
Intestinal parasites in the dog are frequent and widespread. Among those who most often afflict our four-legged friends there are the nematodes or round worms (eg ascarids, known by all puppy owners), cestods or tenie (the Dipylidium caninum, that is, the Tenia transmitted by the flea ) and protozoa (Giardia or Toxoplasma). Each of these parasites, if present abnormally, can give rise to the corresponding parasitic disease. Scientific research has identified new approach techniques and new solutions to preserve the state of well-being of the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting specific peculiarities that had so far been ignored. One such aspect is the so-called microbiotics that you often hear about both men and animals. "By intestinal microbiotics we mean a certain complex of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi that co-inhabit both the human and the animal's gastrointestinal tract. They are about 10,000 times more than any host cell, and modern research i...
