Plants That Are Poisonous to Dogs and Cats.
along with sunshine and warmer temperature we are now starting to see the colorful array of new vegetation. Pet parents need to be aware of certain harmful plants that can cause serious health concerns to their canine and feline companions. Here are the most common ones:
Tulip
Another favorite seasonal flower that can be toxic to your pet is the tulip. When ingested, these flowers, especially the blubs, can result in tissue irritation to both the mouth and esophagus. The clinical signs frequently reported include drooling, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. Supportive care provided by your veterinarian is the best treatment advised.
Lily
These beautiful flowers are a popular choice to display in your home, but can be a deadly threat to curious cats looking for a new and interesting treat. Dogs are not as sensitive to the toxic effects as cats are, but it is still best to keep your canine companion from nibbling on this plant. Certain types of lilies, including Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter and Japanese Show lilies are extremely toxic to cats and can cause acute kidney failure. These cats should be immediately transported to your veterinarian or emergency hospital so the treatment process can be initiated quickly, which would most likely include decontamination and fluid diuresis. Ingesting simply 2-3 petals or leaves can cause drastic effects on your cat’s kidneys.
Azalea
Ingestion of even a small portion of this plant can pose a serious threat to cats and dogs. Azaleas contain grayanotoxins, which disrupts the sodium channels involved in the normal functioning of skeletal and heart muscle. The most common clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, abnormal heart rate, tremors and weakness. The grayanotoxins are generally processed through the body rapidly, so fortunately animals that ingest a small amount only experience toxic effects for a few hours. Regardless of the amount ingested, it would be still wise to alert your veterinarian of the toxic plant ingestion and follow their recommendations for treatment.
Oleander
The oleander is a popular outdoor flowering shrub. It contains cardiac glycoside @ Washington, District of Columbia

Feeding Dogs Properly
1.Feed your dog at the same time every day. Dogs' diets need to be kept consistent. If you're feeding your dog whenever you remember, they're not getting the proper nutrition and digestive health that they deserve.
2.Find foods with a high protein content and natural ingredients. Many dog owners find it effective to mix a small amount of canned "wet" dog food with a proper serving of kibble for your dog. This adds added nutrients, textures, and helps street the more expensive canned food a little farther.
3.Provide plenty of clean water every day. Dogs need access to clean drinking water at all times, and will drink nearly as much as you do in a given day, up to eight cups, or one ounce per pound of body weight.
4.Make your dog work for their food. The best dog trainers hand-feed their animals, doling out bits of kibble as rewards for sits, stays, comes, heeling on the leash, or helping reinforce clicker training. If you don't have this kind of time though, you can increase the amount of time and energy the dog spends eating.
5.Don't feed dogs table scraps. The number one way to get your dog out of shape? Too many bites from the table. Even though it's tempting to give the pet little bacon bits and other food bites, those calories add up and the high salt and fat content can be chaotic on a dog's digestive system.

Exercising Your Dog.
1.Pick a play appropriate for your breed. Learn more about your particular breed, and your particular dog, to see what works best for your pet.
2.Just let your dog run. Whether it's running free or chasing a stick, giving your dog some off-leash freedom to run at top speed is the best and easiest way to keep your pet healthy and in shape.
3.Play Fetch. Playing fetch is a fun way to ensure your dogs gets regular exercise.
4.Focus on agility exercises. Stretching, "dog yoga," jumping, climbing, tunneling, crawling, swimming and balancing are all parts of agility training.
5.Exercise with your dog. Human exercises, such as jogging, or other outdoor activities can be great opportunities to bond with your animal and to get a workout at the same time.
6.Talk to your vet about strength training with your dog.
7.Take your dog to the vet regularly. Consult your veterinarian before starting a hard-core exercise regime, and start sensible.
