A Place for All Precious Pets to Find Everything They May Desire

Designed and Maintained by www.SharrylBryan.com

Are you looking for Christmas presents for Dogs? Scroll down the page to see our favorite Xmas pet gifts and holiday accessories for dogs! Here you will find everything YOUR “Precious” Pup may desire. My “Precious” dog came with her name from the shelter when she was two years old. She was a formerly abused/neglected dog. In the beginning of her time with me she was scared of absolutely EVERYTHING. So to get her used to life as a dog, I was a real push over and let her do pretty much anything she wanted. Do you remember the old Hanna Barbera cartoon “Precious Pupp?” Where “Precious” did pretty much as he pleased, and behind Granny’s back he would snicker? Well, my “Precious” pup is very similar … ruling my life, and I am certain she gets a few laughs about it all. These days (since she is disabled) I wait on her hand and foot, and she has all of the supplies she needs. Listed below are some of our favorite merchants and products. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page for individual product listings for our favorite dog life jackets, dog strollers, dog beds, dog feeders, dog coats, and gates!

Pet owners can trust that Drs. Foster & Smith-brand products offer the absolute best quality available. These products are made in America, are available only through Drs. Foster & Smith, AND are frequently less expensive than pet supplies found in retail pet stores.

Each year, Dr. Foster and Dr. Smith personally review more than 2,500 new pet products, selecting only those which offer the highest quality solutions for enhancing pet health and well-being. When available offerings don't meet their high standards – or when a product simply isn't available – the doctors develop their own alternatives under the Drs. Foster & Smith brand name.

Did you know dogs can be vegetarian?

In fact, the longest living dog on record (died at 27 years of age!) was a lifelong vegetarian! If you love ALL animals and don’t feel right about feeding your dogs other furry beings, there are canned and dry vegetarian dog foods widely available. Precious has been a mostly vegetarian dog, and likes her all of her veggies, and her dry vegetarian dog food. You can find nutritious and natural vegetarian pet foods at the Only Natural Pet Store.

I have been buying pet accessories at wholesale prices from JBPet for many years. My pets have enjoyed their special harnesses, water bottles, feeders, beds, carriers, crates, seat belts, and clothing. Check them out for all kinds of your pet’s needs, great prices, and always a speedy delivery!

Have you gotten Health Insurance for your Dog?

As you have probably noticed, my dog Precious, has needed special veterinary care. Nearly two years ago, she started to fall over when chasing the cats. At the same time, she began to loose control of her bowel habits. When I told our vet about this at her yearly physical, the vet referred us to a neurological specialist at the MSPCA veterinary hospital. That appointment, and the subsequent MRI and blood tests cost more than 2600.00! If she had a condition that was treatable with surgery, the surgery would have cost an additional 6000.00! I have met other dog owners whose dogs have had cancer surgery and treatments, and medicines for arthritis and other conditions. One problem with dogs, is that the inbreeding that they have undergone for centuries, has caused inherited illnesses. Now, don’t go thinking that people who pay for these treatments are going beyond the call of dog guardianship duty. Your dog is part of your family, and these dogs can be quite happy and tolerate these procedures quite well. The main problem is the EXPENSE of the procedures, tests, meds, and routine veterinary visits. I don’t want to have to worry about these expenses with future furry animal family members, so I am going to get Pet Insurance for them. I have found this insurance plan that you might want to check out too, before your vet bills get too high with elderly care, or other illnesses and accidents that may happen to your furry family.

Text Box: HISTORY OF DOGS. There is no incongruity in the idea that in the very earliest period of man's habitation of this world he made a friend and companion of some sort of aboriginal representative of our modern dog. In return for the animal's assistance in protecting man from wilder animals, and in guarding his sheep and goats, man gave this animal a share of his food, a corner in his dwelling. Man grew to trust and care for for this animal freind. He was originally little else than an unusually gentle jackal, or an ailing wolf driven by its companions from the wild pack to seek shelter in foreign surroundings. The possibility of the partnership could have also began in the circumstance of some helpless whelps being brought home by the early hunters to be tended and reared by the women and children. Dogs introduced into the home as playthings for the children would grow to regard themselves, and be regarded, as members of the family. In nearly all parts of the world, traces of an indigenous dog family are found. The only exceptions are the West Indian Islands, Madagascar, the eastern islands of the Malayan Archipelago, New Zealand, and the Polynesian Islands, where there is no sign that any dog, wolf, or fox that has existed as a true aboriginal animal. In the ancient Oriental lands, and generally among the early Mongolians, the dog remained savage for centuries, prowling in packs, gaunt and wolf-like, as it prowls today through the streets and under the walls of every Eastern city. No attempt was made to allure it into human companionship. It is not until we come to examine the records of the higher civilisations of Assyria and Egypt that we discover any distinct varieties of canine form. The dog was not greatly appreciated in Palestine, and in both the Old and New Testaments it is commonly spoken of with scorn and contempt as an "unclean beast." Even the familiar reference to the Sheepdog in the Book of Job, "But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock" is not without a suggestion of contempt, and it is significant that the only biblical allusion to the dog as a recognised companion of man occurs in the apocryphal Book of Tobit (v. 16), "So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them." The large selection of modern breeds and mixes of seemingly all shapes and sizes, makes it hard to believe that all dogs came from a single common ancestor. In order properly to understand this question it is necessary first to consider the identity of structure in the wolf and the dog. This identity of structure may best be studied in a comparison of the skeletons, of the two animals, which so closely resemble each other that their transposition would not easily be detected. The spine of the dog consists of seven vertebrae in the neck, thirteen in the back, seven in the loins, three sacral vertebrae, and twenty to twenty-two in the tail. In both the dog and the wolf there are thirteen pairs of ribs, nine true and four false. Each has forty-two teeth. They both have five front and four hind toes, while outwardly the common wolf has so much the appearance of a large, bare-boned dog, that a popular description of the one would serve for the other. Nor are their habits different. The wolf's innate voice is a loud howl, but when confined with dogs he will learn to bark. Although he is carnivorous, he will also eat vegetables, and when sickly he will nibble grass. In the chase, a pack of wolves will divide into parties, one following the trail of the prey, the other endeavouring to intercept its retreat, exercising a considerable amount of strategy, a trait which is exhibited by many of our sporting dogs and terriers when in teams. A further important point of resemblance between the Canis lupus and the Canis familiaris consists in the fact that the period of gestation in both species is sixty-three days. There are from three to nine cubs in a wolf's litter, and these are blind for twenty-one days. They are suckled for two months, but at the end of that time they are able to eat half-digested flesh disgorged for them by their dam or even their sire. The native dogs of all regions approximate closely in size, coloration, form, and habit to the native wolf of those regions. Of this most important circumstance there are far too many instances to allow of its being looked upon as a mere coincidence. Sir John Richardson, writing in 1829, observed that "the resemblance between the North American wolves and the domestic dog of the Indians is so great that the size and strength of the wolf seems to be the only difference. It has been suggested that the one irrefutable argument against the lupine relationship of the dog is the fact that all domestic dogs bark, while all wild Canidae express their feelings only by howls. But the difficulty here is not so great as it seems, since we know that jackals, wild dogs, and wolf pups reared by bitches readily acquire the habit. On the other hand, domestic dogs allowed to run wild forget how to bark, while there are some which have not yet learned so to express themselves. The presence or absence of the habit of barking cannot, then, be regarded as an argument in deciding the question concerning the origin of the dog. This stumbling block consequently disappears, leaving us in the position of agreeing with Darwin, whose final hypothesis was that "it is highly probable that the domestic dogs of the world have descended from two good species of wolf (C. lupus and C. latrans), and from two or three other doubtful species of wolves namely, the European, Indian, and North African forms; from at least one or two South American canine species; from several races or species of jackal; and perhaps from one or more extinct species"; and that the blood of these, in some cases mingled together, flows in the veins of our domestic breeds.

Before Precious got her doggie wheelchair, I pulled her around in a wagon, and then pushed her around in a used baby carriage. Unfortunately, many people didn’t understand that she was disabled and laughed at us. I knew that some pet strollers existed for smaller elderly or infirmed dogs, but I didn’t know they made them for larger disabled dogs. While I definitely recommend that people get their dogs a dog wheelchair for their dogs with DM or similar infirmities, people can also push their pets in nifty pet strollers. Older, arthritic or other wise infirmed, or even healthy dogs can go almost anywhere (even inside many stores) in these wonderful dog strollers!
