Pets & Animals > Dog Accessories Accessories to help your dog stay cool in hot weather: 1 of 9
When the hotter days of summer arrive, and we feel the need to take our dogs for a walk, hopefully either by a lake or river so that they can cool down in the fresh, cool water, we must be overly conscious of the ways to cool a dog down during excessive heat. Dogs can swim in salt water, but they need to be rinsed off thorou... More..

In a time of endless human sprawl, where not every country has National Parks to protect the wilderness prevalent in their specific geographic ecosystems, private and government run organizations need to step up in order to save animals in danger of extinction.

Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Should the US government put more land aside for its wildlife sanctuaries and parks?: 1 of 7
As mankind is responsible for the demise of the majority of the wildlife that once roamed so freely within the boundaries of the continental United States, they too are responsible for at least trying to re-introduce, maintain and support the wildlife that can strive in the environments of each park or reserve. And there are... More..
Pets & Animals > Vets & Pet Health How to keep your pet safe in a moving vehicle: 1 of 7
One of the major issues in keeping your pet safe in moving vehicles is that the majority of people do not restrain their dogs properly with seatbelt harnesses. Now, they may seem rather cruel to your dog, who might rather sleep on the back of the rear seat, or clamour from occupant to occupant for affection and, maybe, a mor... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds How to raise Pit Bulls as pets: 6 of 32
I had a female North American Pit Bull for 21 years, and she was the most loyal and tenaciously protective pet I have ever had. I've always owned two dogs at a time, usually a Golden Retriever and something else. After a Dachshund, poodle, Dalmatian and a Yellow Lab as companions for my trusty Goldies, a friend offered me a ... More..
Pets & Animals > Vets & Pet Health Why pets die in hot cars: 2 of 9
Why pets die in hot cars is because people, either on purpose or out of sheer stupidity, leave their pets inside their cars while they just dash into a store for a quick item or two, intending to only go into the store for a minute. With a long line-up in the store, a slow clerk or other time delays, the pet(s) can easily ge... More..

Dogs really are man's best friend. When I get home from going into Ottawa from Cornwall, Ontario, a 1 hour drive each way, plus about two hours in Ottawa at doctors' and specialists' offices, my two dogs act like I was gone forever and they are so happy to see me that they jump up and down, and then start running around in c...

There are many different variations of service animals, from seeing-eye dogs to companion animals, and the breeds of dog that are used vary accordingly. The dog breeds that are most com... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Which is better: Purebred or mixed-breed: 7 of 17
This is one of the most intrinsic of titles put forth by Helium that I have yet had the priviledge to write on. It is, in its' most basic of senses, benign. Purebred dogs are mixed-breed dogs, and mixed-breed dogs do become purebred dogs, after enough time and Kennel Club accreditation. The major difference is that the pureb... More..
