 Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  Andrea Rosebrock Andrea has come onboard FTLTD to help out by contributing some stories and following-up with her "Justice Round-Up" series. For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that. Please, won't you help me! All articles on this site, unless otherwise attributed, are copyrighted to and property of Deanna Raeke.

 Comments (2) As holiday preparations are in full swing it’s time to take a moment to think about holiday decoration pet hazards. Sure we all love the twinkling lights and pretty ornaments, the glitter and glitz and all of this may be interesting to our pets too. Some of these new additions for our homes may also be [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 14th, 2009 |
Comments (3) The holidays are usually a wonderful and exciting time for family and friends but for family pets it can be scary, stressful and dangerous. Lots of unusual activity, new sounds, scents, people, things around the home; all of this can be traumatic to your furry family member. Dogs thrive on routine so here’s a few [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 10th, 2009 |
Comments (5) A wiggly pup waits beneath a Christmas tree. A teeny kitten brightens the Hanukkah festival. Nothing stirs the warm fuzzies more than a furry addition to the family. In fact, marketers urge shoppers to wrap Fido or Fluffy in red ribbons, for the perfect holiday present. But when the bows come off, an animal stumbles into [...] By Admin - Deanna, on October 27th, 2009 |
Comments (3) Wisconsin is one of the states that basically has no regulations when it comes to commercial dog breeders and organizations have been fighting for years to keep it that way. This year a puppy mill bill is working it way through. The bill, AB-250, provides for licensure for anyone or any kennel that sells 25 [...] By Admin - Deanna, on October 26th, 2009 |
Comments (18) Most people don’t realize how scary and actually dangerous Halloween can be for our pets. They tend to think of it as just a mostly fun filled entrée to Fall for children and adults alike but what about our furry companions? It can actually be quite frightening for them, the constant knocking or door bell [...] By Admin - Deanna, on October 15th, 2009 |
Comments (1) Everyone’s heard of CPR and there’s probably even quite a few people who know that CPR can be used to pets as well as people but how many people actually know how to administer pet CPR? Here’s a wonderful video in which Elaine Acker, CEO of Pets Amercia, demonstrates the proper technique for performing CPR [...] By Admin - Deanna, on September 29th, 2009 |
Comments (10) Most people don’t really think too much about their dog or pet’s food. Sure, a lot of people like to try to make sure you’re feeding what you think is good food, high quality food but do you really think about or know what’s in the food your dog eats? I think the pet food [...] By Admin - Deanna, on September 9th, 2009 |
Comments (4) Yes, dogs do get the flu, a dog flu and yes, there is a vaccine available for Fido. Is it right for your dog? I tend to be leary about vaccinations and over-vaccinating but if you have a social pooch, it may be the right thing to do. Check with your vet and evaluate. Here’s [...] By Admin - Deanna, on August 2nd, 2009 |
Comments (4) In the Detroit area, in Pontiac and Inkster, hundreds of dogs, mainly puppies, have already died from a recent parvo outbreak. Parvovirus, a highly communicable and often deadly disease that is easily spread and expensive to treat, characterized by vomiting and diarrhea, is spread by coming into contact with the feces of contaminated dogs. Pam [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 22nd, 2009 |
Comments (9) My dear friend Caroline of Saving Furry Friends Rescue in VA wrote a Letter to the Editor to her local paper last week and shared it with me.
