Does anyone follow the Pet Vet Corner? They give good info to pet owners, but what I can't wrap my head around, is pet owners that have a dog with serious injuries - severe swelling, bleeding or other trauma and they want suggestions for at home care because they can't afford an emergency vet visit. Or they want to know if the injury requires a vet visit.

If you are going to have a pet, you need to plan ahead for emergencies. If you don't have pet insurance, then you need to create a pet emergency fund.

It is not fair to your pet that loves you and trusts you, that is in pain and could be dying from internal injuries that you can't see, to have to wait because you don't have the money.

If you don't qualify for care credit or have maxed out your credit card (call the company to see if they will raise your limit for the emergency), then contact neighbors, friends, local rescues and ask for help.

I could not imagine letting this sweet face suffer in pain due to my negligence.

We love our dogs and want to take care of them. We'd never want them to be blamed for biting someone who comes into our yard that isn't supposed to be there.

I recently read an article that discusses the pros and cons based on liability of a Beware of Dog sign. It's a short read.

The law surrounding 'Beware of Dog' sign is something that every dog owner should know, as it impacts liability in case of dog attacks.

Do you love a Pit Bull?🐾

In 2007, National Pitbull Awareness Day was created to help raise awareness about the truth about Pitbulls. For nearly 100 years, these four-legged friends were considered loyal, docile, and loving! Parents would often leave their babies or toddlers with their pit bulls while they ran to the store (please note, no child should be left alone or unattended with a dog of any breed).

Over the decades, pitties have unfortunately garnered a reputation as being ferocious, malicious, and dangerous beasts. An image far from the truth and based on the actions of maligned humans, not the animals themselves.

Pit bulls were born out of a mixture of a bulldog and a terrier in England in the 18th century, partly to help with much-needed rodent and vermin regulation from the Industrial Revolution, but also because dog fighting was, unfortunately, popular at the time. That being said, as the now-extinct Bull and Terrier breed evolved into the American Staffordshire Pit Bull we now know and love, these pups were always considered affectionate, loyal, and great family dogs by breeders and owners alike.

Some tests conducted by the American Temperament Test Society have shown that pit bulls actually have a temperament pass rate of 82.3 percent, making them among the top five most stable breeds in the country.

Should you give your dog rawhide bones?

Absolutely not! The article below provides more detail, but if you need a quick read, I've included a summary.

Instead, give them bully sticks or fresh or frozen carrots.
