​If you are one of those busy people who have a craving for keeping a pet dog but for are unsure due to not having enough time to spend with them’ let me tell you, your worries end here. There are dog breeds that can go hours without human company and the best part, they wouldn’t mind at all. Here is a list of ten home alone dog breeds.

#1. Basset Hound
These middle-sized dogs have a history of being termed as the hunting type, but in reality, they are one of the most fun-loving dog breeds. Basset Hounds generally have low energy levels and prefer spending most of their day either lazing around or napping. Hence, they are the perfect fit for those humans who tend to spend most of their days at work.

#2. Black and Tan Coonhound
Such a dog breed is not the family type, but they can be kept as pets due to their kind and lovable nature. These dogs aren’t generally the attention seekers and wouldn’t mind being left alone for hours. Being the hunting type, such dogs would prefer spending most of their time hunting. Hence, due to such a nature, they make a great companion for humans who hardly have time due to work.

#3. Boston Terrier
Slightly similar to the boxer breed, Boston terriers are kind and affectionate and make excellent pets. These dogs are highly intelligent and well-mannered, and due to their independent nature, they can spend a few hours being alone. Boston terriers are known to be full of energy and after a full day’s work; one wouldn’t mind being greeted by such a dog breed.

#4. Bullmastiff
Very similar to the bull terrier, bullmastiffs are loving, kind and loyal. These ever-so-alert dogs make great guard or watchdogs and would not at all feel lonely when left alone. They would spend their alone time either focused on guarding your home or comfortably relaxing all day. One of the biggest pluses of such a breed is that they hardly make a noise.

#5. Chow Chow
The old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” perfectly fits here. While these fluffy looking dog breed makes you feel like they are the cuddling type, but unfortunately they aren’t. Chow Chows are aloof and self-dependent and not necessarily seek much attention, but they are insanely loyal. Thus, such a breed would be ideal for those who have a small-sized apartment and not much time to give.

#6. Grey Hound
Known as one of the fastest dog breeds, greyhounds wouldn’t mind a race or two. Despite their love for running, these gentle, fun-loving animals would any day prefer a nap over a run. Such breeds fit well in smaller homes and wouldn’t mind their pet parent leaving them on their own for hours.

#7. Maltese
Maltese are fluffy looking dogs and due to their small size, they make great companions. They love human company but can manage to stay without them for hours. Another added advantage of having such dogs is that they hardly shed their fur, which is always a plus.

#8. Miniature Schnauzer
The miniature schnauzer dog breeds are energetic, intelligent yet fun-loving tiny creatures. They can go hours without human companionship provided they have something to cut out time. Giving them a toy to play with while you’re out there working, would go a long way in keeping them busy.

#9. Plott
Plotts are fearless, faithful and intelligent dogs who love being kept busy. Known as the hunting and tracking type, these dogs are more than happy to do their job instead of seeking human affection. Despite being good companions, Plotts don’t mind being left alone for hours. In fact, they love being left alone. This does not mean they dislike the human company.

#10. Whippet
Whippets are lazy dogs who simply love spending their time sleeping. They resemble the greyhound breed with the only major difference being that they are smaller in size. These dogs are very calm, not-so-demanding and require a peaceful location to spend their alone time.
​
The above-listed dog breeds are perfect for you if you’re one of those who seldom has time to spend with your lil munchkin. While all these dog breeds wouldn’t mind staying at home all alone, it is important to at least spend some time with them. After all, they are dogs and dogs love spending (some) time with humans especially their pet parents.

It’s often said,” You are, what you eat”. As much as this statement is true for humans, it’s also very true for dogs and other animals as well. And if you are a dog parent, you have to be very meticulous with what your pooch eats. Whatever your pooch eats will ultimately contribute to the health of your pooch either in a positive or in a negative way.
​
Hence it is very crucial to choose a food that provides nutrition, is healthy, and contains natural and fresh ingredients with no chemically derived flavors or preservatives.

​Since the choice of food is critical, budgetpetcare.com has come up with the list of the factors to consider before buying the aptest food for your Fido.

Read on-
1. Food’s Ingredients 

Food’s Ingredients are the most important factor that decides whether the food will benefit your pooch or not. Good and healthy ingredients provide the much-needed protein, energy, and nutrition to your pooch.

Always go for the meat over grain and vegetables because dogs are natural omnivores so it is the better to feed them the food which they are supposed to eat naturally. Make sure that meat is the primary ingredient.

Also, it would be better if you consult your vet and find out if your dog has any weakness or deficiency or inclination towards any sort of disease. So, you can choose food with appropriate ingredients.

For example- If you find out that your dog has a weak kidney function then the food with apt ingredient should be chosen.

2. Consider Breed And Size

Different breeds of dogs have different requirements depending on their size and metabolism of the body. Breeds with small body size have high metabolism rate hence they should be given food with high fatty nutrients with high calorie and water content. So that these fatty nutrients can strengthen your body’s immune system and provide the required energy.

Since medium-breeds have low metabolism rate as compared to small size breeds but higher than large size breeds, choice of food should always be mixed, it should suffice the energy requirements and nutrients and also be enough for the higher metabolism rate. A diet with a mix of fatty nutrients,vitamins and protein rich food would be the best. Nutrient dense diet should be preferred because medium-breeds have smaller stomachs as compared to the large-breed dogs.

When it comes to Large-breed dogs a diet full of nutrition, protein, vitamins and minerals should be provided because they have a higher requirement as compared to medium and small- breed dogs. Nutrient dense- food is very essential because they have an active lifestyle.

Take immense care while providing food to your pooch because sometimes out of our affection and concern for your dog’s health you might end-up providing more food than needed that can result in heart problems and diabetes.

3. DOG’S AGE

We all need different types of nutrition at different ages because of the varying metabolism rate and nutritional need.

Similarly your dog will also require different nutrients and proteins to grow in to an healthy dog. And if your dog is already a grown-up then he/she will require nutrients,vitamins, minerals and protein to maintain a healthy and disease free life.

Senior dogs - Senior dogs require most discrete type of food selection because their body is going through a lot of changes and almost every organ or gland is ageing and slowing down.They also suffer from many diseases like arthritis, loss of sight or hearing, urinary incontinence and heart diseases in old age that require a supportive diet.Food with high fiber content, low fatty acids and fewer calories that supports slow metabolism.

Food should be given along with joint supplements to maintain your senior’s joint health.

Adult dogs - Adult dogs require less fatty nutrients and appropriate amount of vitamins,calcium and minerals,protein and supplements.Excess amount of fatty nutrients can cause severe health issues like heart problems, obesity and diabetes. Basically,you can choose specially made to support overall growth.

Puppies - Puppies need food with high calorie content and a food that strengthens his/her immune system, supports growth of cognitive and physical or loco motor abilities.So, you should select food that has high protein,rich in minerals,water,vitamins and amino acids.
 
Therefore, to keep your dog healthy follow the above given tips and find the best food for your pooch.
Because – What you feed will shape your beloved dog’s health.

Everybody likes watching TV even though it is called an idiot box. At some point of life while sitting on the couch and watching TV you must have thought that, is it because of you, your dog is watching TV or he/she really likes it? Do they even understand what’s going on? Are they able to decipher the images in a similar manner like we do? There are many such questions that may generate curiosity. 
First of all let’s know what a dog sees when watching a TV?
​
You might have noticed that previously dogs didn’t used to pay attention to the Standard TVs. The reason behind it is that dog’s eyes have superior motion perfectibility than a normal human. A standard TV flashes 60 frames per second which is more than a normal human’s flicker fusion rate, which is 55 Hz. As a result we are able to see TV normally but a dog’s flicker fusion ability is 75 Hz. Hence, while watching a standard TV dog is only able to see the screen flicker. Flicker makes the images to appear unreal. This can be torturous to dogs or any pets that have high flicker fusion ability. Imagine you are kept in a room and a disco light which goes on and off is projected on your face. ​

However, times have changed with the evolution of new technologies day by day and dogs have also benefited from the boom in technology because the TVs nowadays have higher flash rate because of high resolution which matches or exceeds the dogs flicker fusion ability. Now dogs also sit beside you and watch TV, and if you change the channel they may not like it. Soon the time may come that even dogs start taking part in the fight to conquer TV remote in the house.

Do dogs see similar images as we see?
A dog’s eyes are dichromatic and human’s eyes are tri-chromatic which means humans can see more detailed view of colors compared to dogs. Dichromatic vision means they have two types of cone cells because of which they are able to see only two ranges of colors, that is only yellow and blue, and tri-chromatic means we can see the full range of colors.

For example – If we see a red colored car on TV they might be able to see it in yellowish or white color.

However, a dog can identify images of humans, other dogs and animals on TV.

 Reactions of dogs to TV, do they like it?
Dogs are more of instantaneous watch ers as they won’t sit constantly and pay attention to TV. They will watch for 5 seconds and then go around and again watch for 3-5 seconds. They are more attracted towards visuals of other dogs, people giving dog friendly instructions, sound of toys, sounds of barking and whining. 

It also sometimes depends on what breed a dog belongs to. Hounds mostly don’t react to visual images as they rely on their olfactory senses. While other breeds like terriers become very much excited while watching a TV.

Some dogs seem to get excited when they see dogs on the TV Screen and start barking at them, they even go behind and try finding those dogs. There are times when some visuals like images of cats can stimulate their predator instinct and they might jump towards TV trying to catch their prey. Many dogs learn that it’s not real after 2-3 attempts but dogs that have a dominating predator instinct might continue attacking the television.

TV channel producers have also started taking interest in developing channels for dogs. Channels like DOG TV develop shows for dogs that teach new commands and stimulate their senses. The shows are bifurcated in three sections - stimulation, relaxation and exposure. Dog TV also has gone digital with their YouTube channel and Website. Dog TV can be an additional source of entertainment or time pass for dogs that stay alone at home most of the times.

However, it’s still not fully evaluated that do dogs feel the same roller-coaster of emotions that humans do? It’s still a mystery that, do dogs really like watching TV or they are just watching because you’re sitting there? 

Anyway, we may say that with changing times and advancement in technology, dogs are now taking considerable interest in watching TVs as they have high resolution. Nevertheless, on the other hand, the excessive watching can also be a danger signal for you because it may be stressful for their eyes and can harm their sight in the long run.  

Is your dog watching TV excessively? If yes, then care for their eyes

Just like how our eyes get stressed after watching TV for a long time there are chances your dog’s eyes might also be stressed. Although, dogs don’t watch TV by constantly staring at it but there are chances that watching TV can affect their eyesight. If you have left your dog alone at home with a switched on TV your dog can over watch it because channels like DOG TV have shows that can engage dogs. And be very attentive if your dog has eye sight issues or diseases, as watching TV can lead to severe repercussions. So, it’s better that we take care of our dog’s eye sight. There are many eye care solutions like Kyron eye wash that helps in soothing your dog’s eyes, clears debris and improves their vision.

You always make sure that your dog is happy and enjoying his/her day without any inhibitions but it’s more important to be a little bit cautious. TV is a boon for humans in a way but in a way it has also glued humans to their couches just be heedful that this doesn’t happen with your furry pal as well. Otherwise, seeing the other side of the coin - TV can be your dog’s new friend.

​You take care of your dog, go with him for a walk, feed him food and a grooming session but still, he likes your sibling or another family member the most? Do you wonder why you are not the favorite person of your dog? Well, dogs choose their favorite person, not on the basis of who takes care of their daily chores but the one who rather spends more time caressing him. However, there are certain other factors also involved that make the dog adore someone so dearly.  

Factors and Ways Dogs Decide Their Favorite Person in the Clan 

Person That Gave Positive Interactions and Socialized Them 

At a very naive age when your dog was still a pup, the person who interacted with him more positively and amiably would have certainly earned some brownie points from your Fido. Positive experiences always get etched in their minds, more so when they are still young. From birth to six months of age, dog’s brain is at a highly receptive mode and at this time if they won’t receive more positive interactions with people and things around them, they tend to become scared and submissive. Contrarily, if they are introduced to more and more people and things in the world, they become more open, they choose people that have always been lively and fun to be with. So be there for your pup the most at this time and caress him so he feels loved.

Person Who Gives Them Most Physical Attention 
You must be caring for him but don’t have time to spend with him. If this is the case, please don’t expect from your dog that you will be his favorite of all. Reason being, the more a person spends time with the dog physically, the more a dog bonds with him. They require someone who can play with them more often, someone who can go nuts when they are in their high mode. This leads to our other point which is ‘person who matches their energy levels’.

Person Who Matches Their Energy Levels  

Your dog is rolling on the floor and darting swiftly from place to place and you are running along with him, going crazy the way he is behaving, you gonna be the most loved person for him in the world. Dogs like people who match their energy levels and behave lunatic just like they do. So, if you wanna be his favorite, get on your toes when you see him rock and roll.

Some Breeds Are Naturally More Friendly

Yes, this is true! Some dog breeds like Basenji, Greyhound, Shiba Inu, Cairn terrier, Viszla are likely to bond more easily with a person that provides more attention and care. These breeds befriend and socialize with others more smoothly and take less time to revert love in comparison to other breeds. 

Person Who Give them More Treats

Who doesn’t love food and more if it is a treat? Mind you your dog looooovvvess them too. They form a positive bonding with the person who gives him treats and his special food more often. Dogs love to stay in the company of such a person because they know they would be getting a treat if they stay friendly to that person. So, make sure you are the one who feeds him more of his most-liked dishes and treats.

Hope you got a fair idea why dogs bond with that one person more than others. They are just like us and need the same kind of attention, love, caressing, fun and lots of treats just as we do. If you become that person for him, he will share the most stable and trustful bond with your furry munchkin. Just express the love you have for him. That’s the trick!

​Adopting a rescue dog is a great deed and the dog you have rescued would be thankful to you for giving him a new life. However, there may be many health issues, which your new furry pal may be dealing with. Out of multiple health problems, flea infestation is the most common condition found in rescue pets. 

If you find bald spots, constant itching and scratching, black specks on fur then these may be the symptoms of flea infestations. In the absence of flea treatment, the condition may become severe. At the same time, your vet may help you know your dog’s status on heartworm and worm infection. 

Common Health Problems in Rescue Dog 

Flea Infestation 
The presence of fleas and ticks are common among rescue dogs. To relieve your new pet from nasty fleas use any good flea control product such as Frontline plus, Capstar or Nexgard, and clean your house regularly to disrupt the flea life cycle present in your home environment. 

Intestinal Infection 
Internal infection or intestinal infection is also common among rescue dogs. It is caused by worms such as roundworm, tapeworm, hookworm and whipworm. Consult your vet to check whether your dog is affected by these intestinal parasites or not.  Use wormers such as Drontal for protecting your pet from internal parasites. 

Skin Infection 
As rescue dogs are not protected by any flea preventive, they become vulnerable to external parasites and thus exposed to multiple skin problems. These skin issues are the result of excessive itching done by the pet due to itching sensation caused by fleas living on his body. 

The pet would further lose his fur and may suffer from flea allergy dermatitis. The solution to this problem again lies in making the pet flea free through flea preventive.

Stress
Due to the troubled past life of the rescued dog, he may behave in an uncommon way or look like a shy or very aggressive dog at times. As a pet parent, keep an eye on your dog’s behavior and spend time with him to make him feel comfortable and a part of the family. 

The state of rescue dogs is not good as there are many who are homeless and waiting for a person to come and make them part of their family. Your new partner will always be grateful to you for adding value and care to his life.

Heartworm disease is a very common and dangerous disease dogs suffer from. If early steps are not taken to protect your furry pal from this disease, it may lead to critical situation. Some pet parents think that their indoor dogs are safe and do not require any preventive measure to protect them against heartworms. It’s a false assumption. Many veterinarians suggest that every dog should be on heartworm prevention for an entire year. Here is a brief on heartworm disease and why preventive measures are far better than treatment.

What is Heartworm?

Heartworms are deadly parasites. Heartworms are transmitted by a mosquito. When a mosquito bites an infected animal the immature heartworm enters the mosquito body. Within two weeks, the immature heartworm (microfilariae) develops into infective larvae within the body of mosquito. As soon as a mosquito comes in contact with a healthy dog, it bites the dog and transmits the infective larvae inside the dog’s body. Within 6 months these larvae mature into adult heartworms in dog’s body. It travels through the dog’s body reaching the blood vessels and damages the blood vessels. As a result, heart rate lowers. When the pumping of heart decreases, it results into major lung and heart disease.

Symptoms of Heartworm

Symptoms are not easily visible at an initial stage. Over the period of time the signs are visible such as :

• Difficult breathing
• Lethargic
• Weight loss
• Dry cough
• Allergic reaction

Why Prevention Is Better Than Treatment?

Preventive measures are comparatively cheaper and less stressful for your dog than treatment. Preventive measures are easy to implement and are not at all painful compared to treatment. But prior to preventive measures your dog needs to be checked once whether he or she is infected with heartworms or not. A simple blood test is done to detect the heartworm infection in a dog. If the result comes negative you can start the preventive measure which includes the following:

Regular Blood Test

Your vet will advise you to go for some regular blood test. A regular test will help to diagnose the disease.

Preventive Medication

There are various products widely used as preventive treatments that are available on the market. Some top most products which are highly effective, safe and easy to administer are Advantage Multi (Advocate), Comfortis Plus and Heartgard Plus.  

Dog Exposure To Mosquito: Restrict your dog’s exposure to the area where chances of getting mosquito bite is more. You can even use the product like k9 Advantix to kill and repel mosquito. This will protect your dog from a mosquito bite.

Heartworm disease is quite difficult to recognize at an early stage that’s why it is always suggested to take the preventive measures.
