It is important that pregnant dogs get adequate supplementation of vitamins and minerals just as much as they need nutritious food to keep their bodies in good health. Regardless of how healthy you feed your dog, when she becomes pregnant you must make the extra effort to supplement her diet with the best quality powder or tablets that you can find.
?If I purchased supplements in tablet form, and I cannot get my dog to ingest them, is it okay if I crush them up and mix it with her food??
Many dogs lose their hearing for different reasons. Some dogs simply become old and they start to lose sharpness in their senses. Genetic factors may also play a role in whether or not a dog will lose his hearing. And of course, disease can be a root cause of a dogs hearing loss.
If your dog is experiencing loss of hearing then it should be assuring to know that he can live a full life and function just the same as he did when he had his full hearing intact. However, in order for your dog to live without injury resulting from lack of hearing, you will need to follow the advice of the below precautions:
Dogs rely on their powerful senses in order to communicate and pick up information from their surroundings. When most people think about a dog’s strongest sense, the first thing that comes to mind is their sense of smell. However, hearing is another powerful tool that a dog uses to gather information.
Some dogs have a much stronger sense of hearing than others. In fact, their sense of hearing can be so strong that noises can actually hurt their ears. For example, my adult Chihuahua literally darts to the other side of the room every time I turn on the stereo or television. At first I thought that he was just startled easily but after doing a bit of research and talking to my veterinarian, I realized that he just had a very sensitive hearing ability and could not handle loud noises well. He was also terrified of thunder because of how loud it was to him.
