My Dog Is So Matted – What Can I Do?

June 7, 2022 by Puppydia

I have been asked this question way too many times from people in Boca Raton who are looking to get their pets clean and free of mats. Here’s what I recommend:

First, if your pet has a lot of hair, then combing them out is probably not going to work. You need to use a vacuum cleaner or a brush that grabs the matting while pulling away the hair (like a wire brush).

Second, if your pet’s skin looks like they’ve had some sort of chemical burn, then you may want to consider using a professional dog groomer Boca Raton. This may involve shaving off the matting and removing any dead skin cells.

Third, if your pet has only a small amount of hair and no visible matting, then you can try brushing them yourself. If you’re lucky enough to have access to a carpeted area, then you can simply grab the back of their legs and start brushing outwards towards the center of the body.

Fourth, if you don’t have access to a carpet or anything else that could help remove the matting, then you might want to consider getting your pet professionally groomed.

There are a lot of tutorials and videos online where you’ll find out how to properly groom your pet without causing any damage.

Dog Names Guide

April 17, 2021 by Puppydia

Choosing A Name For Your Dog

I have made this comprehensive database of the puppy dog names.

For ease of use I separate male and female names because you either have boy dog or girl dog.

My original goal was to collect as many dog names as possible.

After I had collected about 1000 dog names, I realized that I am adding more and more names that are very rare and in some cases even dumb.

I also realized that I don’t want you to read all those use rare puppy names.

Choosing A Name For Your Dog

Most likely, as 80/20 rule applies, 80% of dog owners would use only 20% of all dog names I’ve collected.

So I decided to change the approach.

Instead of showing you 10,000 dog names without any indication of which names are popular, I cut out 80% and left a little over 1,000 dog names. For example spanish dog names with meanings or Manga dog names.

So what is this new approach about?

Well, you have a good base of 1,000 both male and female dog names and even female dog names with meanings and now I let you to make your preferences.

In the very nearest feature I am adding new functionality to our website that will allow you, our precious dog owner, to submit your own name or vote for any existing name.

So my database becomes alive. Nothing is covered in stone, new names become popular and they’ll be in my database.

For example, after the movie “Matrix” the name Neo became extremely popular and if I had “stale” dog names database than I wouldn’t be able to catch the flowing of time.

Have fun choosing the best name for you puppy and please come later to vote for the dog names you like and leave the comments about them.

Choosing a perfect dog name

December 4, 2020 by Puppydia

Maybe you prefer to find clever dog names from the really old country. Some great Celtic dog names are Arturo (strong as a bear) for your big bear of a dog, Dughall (dark stranger) for the little black puppy you rescued, or Sloan (fighter) for your pit bull, although we know you’re not going to let him fight, right?

You can find clever dog names on television. From the weather channel you can find Storm, Snow, Hurricane, or how about Warning. Flip over to the classic movie channel and you might find an old Godzilla movie with characters such as Mothra, Rodan, or Ghidorah. On the next channel you might tune into a Star Trek show and see Kirk, Vash, Romulan, or a Vulcan. Or the most popular dog names such as the dog names from 101 Dalmatians. The choices are many.

Dog Throwing Up

November 14, 2020 by Puppydia

throwing up in dogs

If you’re a dog owner you’ve probably seen your pet throw up at least once or twice. Chances are you don’t know why your dog is throwing up though and probably find yourself asking “why does my dog throwing up?”

There could be a number of reasons: perhaps the dog ate something disagreeable, they’re coming down with something or maybe they have gastroesophageal (acid) reflux.

In order to prevent your dog from throwing up in the future:

  • Never change their diet unexpectedly
  • When changing a dog’s diet it needs to be a gradual process to prevent them from getting an upset stomach.
  • Don’t give them toys they could swallow
  • Don’t give them dog bones
  • Believe it or not, often times dog bones are the cause of them throwing up.
  • Make sure your dog isn’t digging through the trash
  • Always pay attention to what your dog may be eating.
  • Sometimes when out and about, a muzzle is suggested to ensure you dog doesn’t get into anything that could make them sick.

If your dog does throw up:

  • Remove any food that may be available to them
  • Check to see if they’re in shock or dehydrated
  • Do they have pale skin or gums?
  • Are they acting funny?
  • Have they collapsed or gone unconscious?

Dehydration can be spotted by lightly pulling the dog’s skin if it does not readily return to its original place your dog may be dehydrated. Xerostomia is another sign of dehydration, this is when the dog’s gums become dry and sticky, while the saliva becomes thick.

If the answer is yes to any of these seek vet attention immediately.
