ASK THE VET
Does Your Dog Have Allergies...
Or Is It Something Else?

Lots of pets suffer from allergies in today's world, and a major cause of the condition in dogs is food (the other is environment). Recognizing your dog's allergic response is food-related, and identifying the specific food or ingredient, can be a challenge. Check out this article by
Dr. Karen Becker for more information.
ASK THE TRAINER
The Difference Between Male and Female Dogs
 
What  are the behavioral differences between male and female dogs? Is one gender more intelligent or compliant than the other? Or is it that a canine's behavior depends on his upbringing and training?
This Healthy Pets article provides some answers.
