Why You Should Never Chain Your Dog In The Sun

Dog Chained In SunDog Chained in Sun
First, I must say that I am not sorry for those dog owners who I had reported about neglecting their dogs and leaving them chained in the sun for a day or more and go party in Vegas. This is horrible on the side of any dog owner and before you do something to your pet you should first think about doing that very same thing to yourself and see how much you like it!

But leaving your dog chained in the sun is very serious and will directly affect your dog's health. Let's look at what long hours of sun will do to any dog that is left chained in it.


1. Sun Stroke
So you thought only humans are capable of getting a sun stroke? Think again.  Sun stroke is caused from prolonged exposure to the sun rays without and break for shade or for humans, not wearing protected clothing.  Dogs left chained for hours or even days will get sunstroke and it may lead damage to the brain or death.

The dog may experience causing anxiety, confusion, seizures, headache, dizziness, lightheaded, hallucinations, coordination problems, unconsciousness, and restlessness. Sunstroke can also affect the heart, kidneys, and muscles.

The dog's body can only mange a certain level of heat. Dogs do not perspire as humans do and perspiration is done through the feet at slower pace. The dog will pant to try keep itself cool but that would be like throwing an ice cube at the sun to try and out it.

2. Eye Damage
We know dogs don't often look up directly in the sun, but if you let your dog ties into the sun for hours, chances are that some amount of rays will begin to affect your dog’s eyes. The intense ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun damage sensitive cells in the eyes, eventually affecting vision. Experts say it is difficult to isolate the exact amount of damage that UV radiation imposes on the eye over a long period. These may include cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye.

Remember, the sun is not a bad thing. It is part of our Eco system and is needed to facilitate life. But too much of any good thing sometimes can be quite fatal. When leaving your dog for long hours, ensure that the animal is well kept; feed, shade, water. Never leave your dog chained in any form of weather; sun, rain or snow. If your love your pet, why not show it.

Feeding Tips To Prevent Your Puppy From Choking When being fed

Its is a natural thing, many people choke on their foods, luckily for some it is not life threatening. Just as it is in the human world, so it is in the puppy world. Puppies are cute adorable little critters and there is always a proper feeding habits which pet owners must adhere to when feeding your pup. Here are my five tips to prevent your puppy from chocking while when eating.

Food size
this is critical, you have o ensure that the size of each part of the food presented to the puppy is small enough that even if not chewed properly and it slides down its throat, it can be easily swallowed and not block any air way. For this same reason is why you have dog food different that puppy food.

Feed Regular
You must feed toy puppy regular and not once a while. You don't want when you bring your puppy food, he is so hungry that he has chow down too fast

Don't Pet or Play With While Eating
If it is only one thing i know about dogs is that they love to eat. But puppies love to play, ensure that you do not indulge your puppy in any playful activities while feeding. He may get too excited and begin to chow down too fast or play while eating which may result in your puppy choking.

Not Too Hard Food
Ensure that whatever you place in your puppy's plate is bite-able and chew-able by puppy standards. Don't force the pup to try and swallow large chunks because his little mouth is tired and unable to chew any further.

If The Puppy Does Choke Then What?

If you follow the above guidelines that is OK, but that alone may not deter a natural choking crisis. If you are feeding your puppy and you notice that the dog begins choking, do not panic immediately:
  • Allow the animal to try and correct the issue on its own for a couple of seconds, you jumping and grabbing the puppy could only make the situation a lot worst.

  • If you see the puppy still struggling, pick up the puppy rear end first so what ever is stuck in track will not be pushed further, try and give the pup a couple slaps at the back between both shoulder bones.

  • If that doesn't work take the animal to the nearest vet immediately!

  • Never try to push your fingers down the puppies throat to feel the object unless it is in clear site and can easily be pulled out.
