Dogs chase their tails for many reasons. Some dogs do it when they are bored or looking for something to do, while others do it when they are feeling playful. Some dogs may chase their tails when they have an itch or irritation on their hind end that they are trying to scratch. If you see this behaviour, you should first try to inspect the tail yourself and then consult a vet. A trained vet can look at the tail and figure out why your pup continues to attack it.

In this episode, we try to answer why do dogs chase their tails?

Zorba, India's first dog to be deployed for tracking down poachers, has died of old age in Guwahati. He served mostly in the Kaziranga National Park from 2012 till his retirement and assisted authorities to nab people involved in rhino poaching.

India's first dog squad for wildlife crimes was set up in Assam under the initiative of the biodiversity organisation 'Aaranyak' in 2011.

KCI or the Kennel Club of India is a professional body that maintains Dog breed standards and organizes championship dog shows in India.  

KCI-affiliated clubs have an inspection process for the litter. Litter registration must be within 120 days from the date of birth of the puppies. The breeder should be registered with the Animal Welfare Board of the states they operate in. It is easy to register pups if their parents are already registered with the Kennel Club of India (KCI). Puppies with unregistered parents are certified as “Registration with Unknown Pedigree”.

Listen to this episode as we discuss how to register your puppy with KCI.

The healthy microbes in our dogs' digestive systems perform many critical tasks like absorbing nutrients and helping prevent illness by supporting the immune systems. Stress, dietary changes, allergies or antibiotic use can disrupt this important microbial balance and lead to health issues. Dog probiotics can improve your dog’s digestion and overall health. They can also help prevent gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhoea, constipation, and bloating.

You want to keep your pet healthy and happy and would do anything to ensure that. From daily exercise, vet, and vaccinations to a healthy diet. Add to that probiotic for that additional guard against tummy troubles, it is as good for your pets as for you.

A dog’s nose is like his superpower. The part of a dog’s brain that analyzes smells is about 40 times bigger than humans! 

A runny nose in dogs can signal serious problems. Sometimes, a runny nose is a symptom of an easy-to-treat issue such as seasonal allergies. Other times, it’s a sign of a condition that needs veterinarian attention. A runny nose in puppies can be because of a serious condition called distemper. While puppies and younger dogs are able to overcome it, it’s important to ensure that when you get a new puppy they’ve had their full set of vaccines—which will include the puppy distemper vaccine.

Dogs, more than any other type of pet, are social animals. They crave human company and interaction; after all, they have been our companions for at least 15,000 years.

Do we, as dog owners, give our pets the companionship they need?

Dogs are social animals who crave company, so leaving them at home alone isn’t ideal. They’re adaptable creatures, though, so you can trust them to be okay while you’re away for a relatively short length of time. Still, it’s always a good idea to check in on your dog or give them a call during your trip or workday.

In this episode, we discuss handy tips to keep your dog less lonely when you go out.
