Rabies here. Have you ever wondered what I am really all about? Most people just think that I make dogs become angry and foam from the mouth. Well that hardly does my name justice! Try this on for size; I am a viral disease which causes minor encephalitis, and can affect animal AND humans. How’s that!
 
Granter, I tend to stick with warm blooded carnivores as my prey, but don’t think I can only get at dogs! Any animal on the planer is susceptible to my infection. My greatest power is not well known among the human population. I am uncurbable! “Till death do us part” as they say. Once I have found my way into a human’s system, I almost invariably kill. The only thing you can do to stop me is to prevent me. Vaccination is my worst enemy. If I am caught in time, vaccinations will sometimes lead to my demise instead of yours, but don’t count on it.
I only generally jump from one host to the next through biting. “Why don’t we stop biting each other?” you ask? Because you can’t! I can make you crazy. I ensure my generation to continue by causing you to be a vicious animal. Not that I think about it, I am downright cruel!
 
But not that I have scared you, I must come clean. Humans are not my favorite friends. It’s hard to make you crazy. For the most part, if you are bitten by a rabid animal, you will die unless treated quickly, and that is where it stops. Occasionally I hop to another person through kisses, but for the most part, I tend to stay out of your way. But none the less, be careful!
Bad Doggy Breath
Halitosis

​Halitosis needs to be properly dealt with in order to protect and promote your dog's health and well-being.  If your dog does have bad breath, there are other symptoms to watch out for as well, which can be indicative of something more serious.

What to do when your dog eats poop

You might think that such a foul habit points to a nutritional deficiency or that it means Fido's not getting enough to eat, but actually poop-eating (a.k.a. copraphagia) is a common pastime among dogs.
Prebiotics & Probiotics

We all know that probiotics help pets with diarrhea or chronic small intestinal "bad" bacterial overgrowth, but what is this "benefit upon host health" prebiotics confer?
