It’s tempting to feed that furry little face staring at you from under the dining table, we know. Just a little bite of human food won’t hurt. Or will it? The answer is...it depends! There are some foods that most people know to keep away from dogs (like chocolate), but did you know that even avocados can be dangerous.

Dog ownership can be just as stressful as it is joyful, especially if your dog doesn’t like to be left alone. Even for the most committed dog owners, work, family and social commitments can get in the way of being able to give your dog constant attention and companionship.

Getting to know your pet is as important for bonding as it is for safety. For example, you can keep your dog (and others) happier and safer if you know whether your pup is tail sensitive, food motivated, cat aggressive, or prone to separation anxiety. You can even customize treats and toys for your dog.
