Ruby's sleeping in style...

Ruby caught napping on her back in one of the afternoons.

No wonder there is a dividing line in her fur at the top of her back, must be due to her sleeping position....?

Ruby's Teeth

These photos are taken after her chewing of freshed cooked bone and her teeth are so much cleaner now. There used to be obvious presence of tartar or plague on her teeth. I took a few photos of them but were misplaced else you willbe able to see the 'before' and 'after' effect better.

Prior to the chewing of the bone, I also tried an oral care product from PetzLife. I think it helped to soften up the tartar and I could even used my finger to scrap off some of the tartar then. So you may want to check this product out, which is available at Petlovers in Spore. I still use it to brush her teeth, more of a preventive measure but it is not cheap though.

I have also used dog tooth paste on Jack but did not find it effective and he did not like it. However, I still buy dog treats that are supposedly to help maintain the teeth and breathe too.

Hope you have found this info useful and drop me a comment if you have any queries.

Take care and give your doggies a good hug from me!

Jack Chewing His Xmas Bone - Video

Jack enjoying his Xmas treat.... I have also posted an earlier video on Ruby, my Corgi, chewing her bone too.

The bone was very effective in removing their tartar or plague from his teeth. So you may want to try it on your dog too but no chicken or fish bone!

Jason, my son, was playing his guitar in the background. He was not aware of my videoing the Jack.....

Enjoy the video!

Xmas Treats for Jack & Ruby

Both Jack & Ruby are crazy over fresh cooked bones so we gave them a trest on Xmas day. I prefer to cook them than give them raw though a friend of mine gives his dog raw bone.


Jack has stronger teeth and can easily chew and break the bones faster and into smaller pieces.
















Ruby teeth is not so strong and took a longer time to chew her bone.











I watched them ate their bones and would remove any sharp or splinter bones and not let them swallow it. I only let Ruby ate the knuckles or the white part of the bone as she cannot chew through the other part.

BTW, the bones are also the most effective way to remove their tartar or plague on their teeth. Please do not give chicken ot fish bones to your dogs!

Merry Christmas !

Jack and Ruby, not to mention my family and I, wish you a Merry Christmas !

Have you gotten some treats for your dogs ?

You can still do so from the comfort of your home by checking out the online store.

Best wishes and have a good holiday!

Dogs Having A Feast - Bones!

Hi,

Do you know that Dogs love bones? Well, definitely it is true for our Beagle and Corgi, Jack & Ruby.

Normally, our dogs do not mind us touching or patting them when they have their food or snack or treats but they are a bit possessive and growl a bit when they are having their bones though!


We find that the bones are very effective in removing tartar from their teeth so do try it but you cannot give them any bones; eg no chicken bones as it may pierce their intesttines or tummy.


Going to put up a short video of them enjoying their bones soon....... so return soon to view it.


Merry Xmas!

Jack's New Dog House

Hi,

Jack's current dog house or crate is breaking down due to wear and tear; ie the plastic cover is giving way. I got some tape to repair it, ie the blue tape in the photo.
We have been looking for a replacement but the ones available are just not big enough so we got a friend living in Australia to shop for one and fly it back with him when he was on a business trip here.








Here is the one we got from Geelong. Jack managed to get into it and sit up too but .................











When Jack lay down, his head stuck out....! The house is a bit too short....ha...ha....ha....


My dear wife suggested that we should give him a pillow......ha.....ha....ha.....







When I took him to the vet this morning, I was lucky to have found a second hand dog house that is much larger and can fit Jack, and possibly Ruby too.

This dog crate is from US and if you are interested to look at some of their products, pls check them out at :

seeking some attention or snack.

Ruby has been naughty lately, as she has been picking up fights with Jack. She would start jumping all over Jack and then somehow ended with Jack retaliating, resulting in a mini-fight and we have to go our and separate them.

Aren't they so cute.. One of those lovely and peaceful moments..ha..ha..

Dog Collars & Leash

Hi,

When I got a personal trainer to teach us how to manage Jack, he suggested a Choke Collar as shown on the left. It was effective but please do not use it with too great a force as you may break the dog's neck especially if it is a small puppy dog.

Subsequently, after changing it to many types of collars ( eg nylon, different catches .... I did not want to choke my dog..... a bit cruel, isn't it especially if it is well behaved), I found an adjustable choke collar. The difference is that when not tugged, the collar is loose unlike the typical collars. Importantly, the size of the collar can be adjusted such that it will tighten exactly to the size of the neck so it is not so much of a choke until the dog cannot breath but the message is conveyed to him. I hope you got what I am trying to say here.


Here is a photo of my Ruby, the Corgi, wearing an adjustable choke collar.
















There are also all sort of leash but I have used this flexible or auto-release and recall leash which give both Jack/Ruby and I freedom to move about. This type of leash is easier found in the pet shop.

The adjustable choke collar is not readily available in the pet shops.
But I found it in an online shop so if interested, click on the BUY button below.
