    by Susan Bero
    We can’t all work at home anymore, or take our dogs to work with us, so many of our hounds are spending a lot of time alone during the workweek. You think about your dog all alone at home — and you wonder what they’re doing or if they’re bored or lonely. Leaving your pup home alone is inevitable for many working dog owners.

  • THE SCOOP ON DOGGIE DIARRHEA

    by Susan Bero

    It’s not a topic anyone likes to discuss, but if you own a dog, chances are you have found yourself cleaning up a stinky brown puddle (or as I call it “The Big D”) more than you’d care to think about. Diarrhea is a common canine affliction and it varies in frequency, duration, and intensity from dog to dog.

    You may not be able to totally prevent diarrhea, but knowing as much as possible about it might help limit the number times your dog has one of these unpleasant episodes and reduce the duration when the runs do come. Luckily, there are even a number of over-the-counter diarrhea treatments for dogs.

They will also be more stimulated, gain more confidence, and ultimately, be more tired and relaxed.
