How can Pets develop Diabetes

It is not only human beings who can develop diabetes, our lovely pets can also develop diabetes no matter how well we care for them and love them.

This is often a frightening situation for the owner of the pet and the first question that is usually asked of the veterinarian is ‘will your pet need to be put to sleep’. Of course this is a difficult situation and the response may vary depending on the age and health of your pet.

Many older pets that are diagnosed with diabetes go on to live many more happy years, however, this takes commitment and close care of your pet.

Cats and dogs with Diabetes can live just as long as perfectly healthy pets if the diabetes is diagnosed and treated properly by both the veterinarian and the pet owner.

This takes great commitment from the pet owner. Pets must be cared for and watched daily with a high level of care and patience.

The cat owner need to feed the cat every day and on time and not forget to do that until the next day. The pet owner need to ensure that the pet is given proper care when he or she is away on a trip outside home or town. This is because every day your pet will need medication, fed a proper diet and his behaviour will need to be monitored closely, so that the diabetic condition can be managed well. 

Further, this does not mean you have to give up your job and stay home full time with your pet, but it does mean you will have to pay more attention to what your pet’s behaviour is and know what to do if the situation should change.

In addition, it is also more of a financial obligation to have a sick pet. So it is something that should be discussed in length with your veterinarian, so that you can keep your pet healthy and well medicated. 

To a Healthy Pet,

Peace.

How to Select the Right Dog Breed

The personality of dogs matters when it comes to a family with kids. A family with kids ideally needs an intelligent dog with a good temperament and moderate energy level. Certain breeds may be naturally good with kids. Here are just a few of many dog breeds that tend to do well with children: 

· Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever: 
These breeds are usually great with kids and pretty smart, but they can be very hyperactive if they do not get enough exercise.

· Poodle: Believe it or not, the Poodle is extremely smart and has a great temperament. Plus, you have a size choice – toy, miniature, or standard. Regular grooming is necessary.

· Bichon Frise: These little cotton-balls breed loves to play, but is not usually too hyper. It is also a small dog, which is perfect for your little humans. Regular grooming is necessary. 

· Beagle: These dogs are friendly, clever and not too big, making them very suitable for kids. Though some can be a bit high-strung, they typically respond very well to training. 

· Cairn Terrier: These active little dogs seem to have a natural affinity for kids. They can keep up with them and tolerate just about anything, but are still gentle. 


· Collie and Shetland Sheepdog: 

These are both very calm, gentle and tolerant breeds that often do well with children of all ages and sizes - kind of like Lassie. 

· German Shepherd Dog: This breed is extremely loyal and protective, but MUST be well-trained. The German Shepherd Dog does have a playful side, especially at younger ages. 

· Mixed-Breed Dogs: Mutts are typically well-balanced and intelligent. Overall, they are truly amazing dogs! Plus, you can save a dog from life in a shelter. 

In addition, I will recommend this book "Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds" it complements and gives more information on the above dog breeds. Armed with all these information, I am confident you will select the right Dog Breed for your family.
