Nothing kills an appetite faster than discussing roundworms over spaghetti dinner! Be aware of what's out there! Knowing that these things do happen, and can happen often, is the first stop in preventing them from spreading.

Enjoy your meal!
 
 
In the Spotlight
Worriesome Worms
Why is it important to know about the possible parasites that can affect your dog? Because you can catch them too. Many of the parasites that infest pets are zoonotic, and as you interact with your dog, you are also susceptible, as are any children in your home.

Pet population numbers are booming. In a recent study by the Humane Society of the United States, numbers of pets in shelters were overwhelming. Between 4 and 5 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year in animal shelters country wide.
 
Top Picks - Dog Breed Encyclopedias from your Dogs Guide
One of the handiest books I found in my quest for dog knowledge was a big encyclopedia of dog breeds.
 
1) The New Encyclopedia of the Dog
Bruce Fogle's Dog Encyclopedia contains an unbelievable wealth of dog information, as well as profiles of over 400 popular and rare breed dogs.
 
2) Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds
Covering 150 of the most popular dog breeds, the easy to read and understand layout make this encyclopedia a hit with all dog lovers.
 
3) The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Dogs
A good beginners, this encyclopedia has tons of info on puppyhood all the way through adulthood, and hundreds of breed profiles. Very user-friendly.

"Just been thinking lately about everyone's pooches and their names and thought it would be fun if we all shared where we came up with their names from. How'd your pooch get his or her name?" - EmylyHOST
