Know how to care for wounds. Did you know that you shouldnt use hydrogen peroxide on a bleeding wound? Nope. It slows clotting to the area, which means your dog could actually lose more blood than he would if you didnt use the peroxide at all. In fact, the best way to treat a deep, severely bleeding wound is to apply a clean cloth and hold it in place for five minutes, then tape the cloth to the wound. That original cloth should never be removed - that also slows clotting - and should instead be layered with more clean cloths if blood soaks through. 3. Know what to do about …show more content…

You don't want your dog to listen to you out of fear, but out of respect. Setting boundaries is very important in gaining respect. Sit down with your family and discuss what is and what is not appropriate for the dog to be doing. Perhaps you have no problem with a dog on the furniture, but kitchen entrance is not allowed.
When owners take their pets to the clinic, they are understandably anxious about the results and outcome of the visit. While it’s the veterinarian's job to provide care for the animal, it’s also their job to put the owners at ease, reassuring them that their pet will indeed be fine. This communication is vital for building trust, as it lets the owner know what is happening to their animal and gives them confidence in believing that everything will be okay. What’s more, veterinarians that take the time to thoroughly explain procedures and instructions regarding petcare, are teaching pet owners how to better tend to their

Helping animals and taking care of their daily activities is fun, especially when they are super excited and happy to play. The job that this happens in is in veterinary technicians, who help veterinarians with their daily duties. Playing with the animals and helping with their exams and daily activities would be the best part of the day.

If a dog is suffering from medical problems its behavior could change (“Medical Conditions”). If a dog is feeling pain or discomfort in may react with aggressive actions. Such as a dog that is pregnant will act in an aggressive way to protect its young. There are also many diseases that a dog can catch and become violent from. Some diseases include: hypothyroidism, brain tumors, and epilepsy (“Medical Causes”). Dogs that suffer from problems with the brain will most definitely respond aggressively. Or if a dog loses its sight or hearing and if someone were to approach it without caution they would scare or surprise it. A dog's frustration could also lead to aggression. Like all other cases this behavior can be avoided with proper training. A dog can be trained to respond to the sickness in a calm way. It is important to teach a dog what it is dealing with so it can cope with it (“MEDICAL ISSUES”).
Animal-assisted therapy is often confused with service dog; it is two completely different type of usage of animals, which usually are dogs. It is commonly misunderstood because animal-assisted therapy and service dog are working animals with individuals with disability although according to (Hart-Cohen, 2009) service dogs is when an individual with disability is in need of help in order to function in daily life such as answering the door, crossing the street and the list goes on. While animal-assisted therapy animals are trained to offer comfort companionship, and affection to those in need in different situations such as courtrooms, nursing homes, schools, hospitals, and other places (Hart-Cohen, 2009).

In order to become an assisted animal, the animal must undergo training, to receive a certified to prove that the animal is qualified to be able to control his or her behavior and is able to work with an...
Picture blind or deaf not knowing where you’re walking. Not knowing when a baby cries or a smoke alarm rings. But then picture having a helping companion like a dog to help you, so you can have an idea of where you are going, or a mini hose to help you build up your muscles. But they’re not the only helpers, for example a capuchin monkey they are very intelligent so they can do many things for you. As you can see my opinion is that, we should allow other animals in public spaces like, capuchin monkeys or even a snake. My first reason why we should allow more animals are that there are many things that other animals can do to help that others can’t, for example a capuchin monkey has thumbs so it can pick up tools and other things, but unlike the capuchin monkey a dog or a mini horse do not possess that ability because they don't have thumbs. My second reason why we should allow more animals is that many people have allergies and can be allergic to horses or dogs but snakes

The puppy was two point nine pounds and the cutest, softest, smallest puppy I’ve ever seen. I named him Oreo because he was black on his back and had a white stomach and legs. Oreo isn’t your average lap dog. He has very high separation anxiety. We’ve tried multiple ways to help him including a dog trainer making a house call, private lessons with the trainer, a calming supplement, and even a prescription dose of Prozac. Whenever anyone leaves the house he starts crying and bites the person, trying to get them to stay. He is very insecure and when he sees often bullies our other dog when we give him attention. Oreo barks at every dog, even animals on the television. During rainstorms Oreo shakes uncontrollably and is terrified. If you startle him when he’s sleeping he will wake up scared and attack. He’s nipped at all of us in the house. One day when he was sleeping I got too close to him and he bit my lip. Another time when my mother was cuddling with him Oreo snapped and bit my mom’s cheek. On Monday morning he bit her face and she went to the emergency room and needed five stitches. We have to put him down next Wednesday, the day before
