			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kidney Failure in Dogs- Are you Poisoning Your Dog Without Even Knowing It?</p>
<p>First let us begin by stating the obvious, you love your dog.  I am sure he is loved just as much as any member of your family.  Now would you ever feed your beloved family member something that you knew could cause his kidneys to fail?</p>
<p>Would you give him something that could cause him extreme pain, and eventual death?  Of course not!</p>
<p>Chances are though, that you unknowingly feed your pet this poison everyday.<span id="more-693"></span></p>
<p>Commercial pet food is killing pets on a daily basis and the government is doing nothing to stop it.  With a little research though, you can learn the secrets to prolonging your dog&#8217;s life and saving him from future pain and suffering.</p>
<p>To understand why commercial dog food is so bad we should begin with what exactly is in the &#8220;quality&#8221; food you are feeding your loved one.</p>
<p>We will start with the advertised ingredients; prime cuts of beef, chicken, whole grains.  What they failed to mention is that those prime cuts of beef are actually the parts that no humans will eat or pieces that are so rotten and diseased that they aren&#8217;t allowed to feed them to humans.</p>
<p>Those prime cut are also hooves, rectum, intestine, bones, blood and horns.  You will also find plastic from ear tags and the packaging used at stores.  Why plastic store packaging?  It&#8217;s really quite simple you don&#8217;t get any money if you throw out rotten meat.  O.k., but why the plastic you may ask again?  You lose some of the profit if you pay someone to remove the tray and wrap.  Plus if you process it enough dogs will still eat it, especially if you cover it in grease.</p>
<p>Ok, the beef is questionable but there is still the chicken and all those whole grains. Right?</p>
<p>True, but the chicken is just as bad as the beef.  The only difference is that instead of horns, there are beaks and instead of hooves there are feet.  Now, on to the whole grains. The mouldy, contaminated, poor quality whole grains that the companies so lovingly put in the food meant to feed mans best friend.  That&#8217;s the good grains, the whole grains, there are other grains too.  Grains that have had everything man might want extracted from them and then we feed what is left to our pets.</p>
<p>Why do this, when we could feed them healthy homemade dog food?  You can take charge of what is going into your dog&#8217;s body and keep the rotten filth out.</p>
<p>Now the title of this article is Kidney Failure in Dogs &#8211; Are You Poisoning Your Dog Without Knowing It? So let&#8217;s talk about your poor dogs kidneys.  Kidneys are in the body to remove toxins.  If your dog is ingesting rotten food, and who knows what else, imagine how hard his kidneys are working on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Now multiply that over years of being fed the lovely ingredients found in commercial dog food every day.  It&#8217;s surprising that kidney failure in dogs isn&#8217;t the number one cause of death.  It actually amazes me that all dogs fed this lovely &#8220;food&#8221; don&#8217;t die within the first year of life!</p>
<p>I could not imagine how bad a person would feel if they ate even a bite of what we make our beloved pets eat daily.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Save your pet from suffering a slow and painful death.  Find out how to save his kidneys and his life before it is too late.  I know you love your dog, show him just how much.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>American Pit Bull Terriers<br />
I know there are a lot of people who own or love Pit Bull Terriers, but they are on this list for two good reasons, the first being the fact that these dogs were bred for one purpose, this being to fight. They were bred for generations to be tenacious, aggressive, and to have a killer bite, a jaw that holds and locks. The other reason is that their very name elicits fear, making this dog a choice of criminals or people who want to appear &#8220;tough&#8221;. This is not the right reason to get a dog. These people often mishandle the dog intentionally to make it mean or aggressive, or they get a dog to be &#8220;cool&#8221; and are not properly familiar with how to correctly train and discipline such a dog. Such a dog, is a dangerous thing. While Pit Bull Terriers may make wonderful pets when owned by a knowledgeable person, and handled correctly, this is one breed that if a person makes mistakes, they can cause serious problems.<br />
<span id="more-649"></span><br />
Chow Chow<br />
Again, there are many wonderful Chow Chow dogs, and I do not want to take anything away from those dogs, or their owners. The problem with this breed is simply that they have a reputation of being unpredictable. They will turn on somebody without warning. Chow Chows are one breed that some dog groomers will actually refuse to handle, simply because of their unpredictable nature. This may be due to the fact that this is an very ancient breed, being closer to wolves than the newer breeds.<br />
Feral, or Wild, Dogs</p>
<p>A feral dog is a dog that has gone wild. Many feral, or wild, dogs form packs, and often they do not fear people. Feral dogs are dangerous and will kill other dogs for food. They are a big threat to livestock, and because they for packs they are extremely effective hunters. As well, when threatened, they will attack humans. Feral dogs are also a danger to other dogs simply because they can carry parasites or diseases. A dog who has lived wild for some time will not easily be tamed. In many areas where spaying and neutering is not common, there is a real problem with feral and wild dogs.<br />
Untrained Dogs</p>
<p>A dog who has never learned basic commands or obedience has not understood one very important thing, that being: People are the boss. A dog who has been allowed to do what it wants will think it is dominant. If unchallenged this is not usually an issue. The problem occurs when the owner really does need the dog to obey, or a child asks the dog to do something, or the dog becomes lost and somebody other than the owner has to handle it. If a dog thinks it is the boss, it will be a very dangerous dog, be it big or small.<br />
Unsocialized Dogs</p>
<p>Socialization is another skill dogs need to learn. Socialized dogs are ones that are exposed to many situations. This is often the small or toy breeds. Their owners tend to shelter them from any potentially scary situation. These dogs are very dangerous because animals have a fear response known as the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; response. In a scary situation they either run, or fight. Since running may not always be an option, they may fight. This is something animal shelter workers often encounter in stray dogs, particularly small breeds. An unsocialized dog is going to have a more difficult time at the dog groomer, veterinarian, or the dog kennel if it goes for boarding.<br />
Dogs who are kept chained up</p>
<p>Dogs who are kept chained up are apt to be more aggressive than dogs kept in dog runs, indoors, or in a fenced yard. Even dogs kept in small kennels are less aggressive than a dog who is kept tied up. When you tie up a dog it does not see that it has a boundary, this creates frustration. Even well trained, well mannered dogs have been shown to experience higher instances of aggression if they are kept on a chain rather than loose in an fenced area.</p>
