Taking a Bite out of Backyard Toxins Few things are more appealing to dogs than a big, green yard to frolic in. But when it comes to keeping your canine companion out of harm's way, the great outdoors may not be as safe as you think. From pesticides to poisonous plants and even their beloved chew toys, dozens of harmful toxins may be waiting just outside the back door. Protecting Your Pup from Summer Skin Irritation Ah, summer. More time to frolic in the yard. Longer walks outdoors. And a little extra time each day to bask in the warm sun. But that’s not all the summer season has in store for your canine companion. More often than not, the warmest months of the year mean an increase in common skin conditions such as shedding, insect bites, dryness and irritation. Putting the Spring Back in Fido's Step Like their human companions, many dogs experience decreased joint flexibility as they age, frequently resulting in painful inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and hip dysplasia. In fact, research shows that roughly 80 percent of older dogs suffer from some type of inflammation-related condition that may result in mild to severe joint pain.

Before that familiar rumble rolls around again, speak with your veterinarian about the natural solutions available to help your dog stay calm during the storm.
