Emergencies in Dogs
Todos sabemos que las urgencias requieren atención inmediata. El problema es: ¿podemos reconocer una urgencia en el momento en que se produce?. Algunas son evidentes (un perro que cruza la carretera corriendo y es atropellado por un coche), pero otras pueden ser igual de graves aunque no tan obvias. Por ejemplo, una dilatación/torsión gástrica es probablemente la urgencia no traumática más grave para cualquier perro.

Urine scalding of grass is due to the nitrogen in your dog's urine. Nitrogen is a by-product of protein breakdown and is a normal component of your dog's urine. A bit of nitrogen acts as a food source for plants, such as in fertilizer, but too much will burn the grass. It is not related to the pH of the urine. You can reduce burning by encouraging your dog to drink water to dilute the urine, thereby diluting the nitrogen. It is not recommended to restrict protein from your dog. Watering the grass after your dog urinates or training your dog to urinate in specific locations away from your lawn are the only ways to prevent the problem.

Treats are a wonderful way to provide positive reinforcement to your dog during a training session. Choose low-calorie foods such as green beans, carrots, and watermelon. Avoid foods that are potentially harmful such as chocolate, garlic, onions, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts, and products that may have xylitol. Limit high-calorie treats and keep treats within 10% of your dog's total daily calorie intake. Keeping training sessions short and engaging while providing appropriate foods as treats can be a wonderful way to strengthen the human-animal bond.

Dogs have dietary requirements for water, energy, and many essential nutrients, but they do not have a requirement for any specific ingredient. Animal-derived ingredients are typically highly digestible and usually have essential nutrients important to dogs in higher amounts than plant-derived ingredients. However, if properly formulated and tested, plant-based diets such as vegetarian diets can provide all the essential nutrients dogs require. It is recommended that you choose a complete and balanced diet that was formulated by a pet nutrition expert and underwent feeding trials.
