Previously, your dog would leap merrily around you as soon as you got anywhere near his food bowl, but now he is not remotely interested. If your dog experiences an occasional loss of appetite, that isn’t necessarily anything to worry about. But if this unwillingness to eat occurs frequently, you should investigate the cause. From diet to health to hormonal causes: we have compiled 10 reasons to help you answer the question: why isn’t my dog eating?

Your heart leaps with joy, the excitement mounts: soon a new puppy will be moving in with you! It’s a huge step! After all, a puppy turns everyday life upside down; a new life is beginning — for you and your dog. To make sure you get off to a great start with your new pet, it is vital to keep a cool head (at least to some extent) however much excitement and anticipation there is! Even before your new companion moves in, there are a few things to think about. By carefully considering what to buy for a new puppy, it will be much easier for both of you to enjoy your early days together. If you are prepared for all your little dog’s everyday needs by the time it arrives, that leaves you free to concentrate on getting to know each other. But what is the recommended basic kit for a new puppy? What do you need to buy, what is optional, and how might you do things more sustainably? And what else should be on your preparing for a puppy checklist?

If your dog has an itchy or painful ear, an ear infection may be suspected. You need to act fast because, if left untreated, there can be serious health consequences for your dog. This guide outlines what you can do if your dog has an ear infection, ways to help your dog, and what to do next time to nip any ear infection in the bud.

There is nothing unusual about a dog having an occasional scratch. We humans do the same too! Scratching and gnawing are part of your pet’s personal hygiene routine and can help reduce stress.

Grain-free dog food is highly rated by many people. And not without reason. Although dogs are omnivores, an appropriate canine diet should not be dominated by grains. However, many foods contain a relatively high proportion of different varieties of grain, such as barley or wheat. Is this healthy for our pets, or is dog food with no grains better? Here you will find important information about grains for dogs.

A dog’s teeth represent a handy set of tools with all sorts of applications: pincers, a knife, scissors, a weight carrier, shredder, lever and weapon all in one. A true miracle of nature, which once ensured the survival of the wild predators that are the ancestors of today’s dogs. Survival is less of an issue these days, but a dog nonetheless relies greatly on its teeth: breaking food into smaller pieces, gnawing and playing all depend on a dog having great teeth. That’s why dental care is just as important for dogs as it is for us. But what exactly does this involve? Is it necessary to clean your dog’s teeth? And what role does food play in canine dental hygiene? In this guide, we want to really get our teeth stuck into these issues.
