A busy house full of guests and noise can be very stressful for animals, and all those tempting decorations and foods can pose significant risks.
Help your pet have a healthy and happy Christmas by following these six tips:

Hiccups are a common thing that can happen to humans as well as dogs and puppies. Although, many of you who are avid dog lovers tend to get worried when you see your puppy having hiccups, no matter how cute it may look.

There's no doubt we love our animals, and with a high proportion of Australians living with a dog rather than with children, splurging on clothes for going walkies and even outfits for special occasions is now common. There are doggie birthday parties and other social events organised, which make the parents just as happy as the dogs.

Dachshunds are cute, loyal, loving and highly intelligent - but they can also be quite vocal!

Once this behavior gets ingrained, it takes consistency and the right approach to teach your dog to quiet down. Today I will share my best tips for addressing excessive barking, so that you can get your Dachshund to stay calm.
