Dog Parasites - How to Prevent, Detect & Kill Dog Parasites
What are intestinal parasites, and how do I get rid of them in my dog?
Intestinal parasites are basically mostly worms that live in dogs' intestinal tracts. For instance, there's a roundworm and hookworm that live in the stomach and the small intestines of dogs, and there are tapeworms that live in the large intestines of dogs. There are intestinal parasites that are not worms, such as coccidia and Giardia. They're one-cell organisms that are also considered parasites in the intestinal tract.
Dog Wellness Exams - Why Wellness Exams Are Vital to Good Dog Health
What do I need to bring to a wellness exam?
What you need to bring to a wellness exam is a good history, information on how your dog's been doing at home, what the behaviors are that you consider normal, and any behaviors that you consider to be abnormal. If your dog is older and is on some prescriptions, bring the list of prescriptions that they're on. Those, along with the name of the dog food your pet eats, would be great things that would be able to let the veterinarian know what's going on at home.
Dog Grooming - The Ins and Outs of Dog Grooming
How important is grooming and hygiene for my dog's health?

Dog Lab Work - The Value of Doing Dog Lab Tests
How does a baseline lab test benefit the health of my dog?
When you do a baseline or early detection blood work, you're looking at what is normal for that particular dog or cat at that particular time so that if your animal is ill, we already have some normal parameters, and we can determine if it's off.
Dog Cancer - Signs and Treatments of Cancer in Dogs
Is cancer in dogs common?
Unfortunately, I think it is common, but I think the reason why it's common is that our dogs live a long time. Tux here is 15 years old due to good care by his owners and good veterinary care as well.
