My dog suffered with awful skin allergies and despite the vet perscribing different creams and medication the problem was just getting worse. I purchased a bottle of organic shampoo made with oatmeal and honey and a tube of organic Calendular cream. After two baths and applying the cream every day, the collies skin improved greatly. I will never use anything but organic shampoo's on my dogs and in the aftermath of this pet food recall I have decided to feed my dogs on a natural home prepared diet as much as I can. dog lover If you are concerned about using either animal or human shampoo’s on your dog then use organic ones.

Often in summer months dogs strain to defaeciate as a result of exercising too strenuously in hot weather and not drinking enough to replace fluids lost by panting as they try to cool down. Always make sure that your dog has adequate cool, fresh water and never stop them drinking even if they empty the bowl. Take extreme care with deep chested dogs or ones that are susceptable to Gastric Torsion (Bloat) that they do not run around after drinking water. Many owners are unaware that drinking causes Bloat and not just Food. We had a GSD that "bloated" after gulping down water then running around the garden. Within ten minutes the dog was in a crititcal state and had to have an emergency operation to save his life. Another reason why a dog may become constipated is when they have got too hot.
