How often should you bathe your dog?

  The frequency of bathing a dog depends on several factors, including their breed, activity level, health, and coat type. Here are some general guidelines to help you determine how often to bathe your dog: 1. Breed:  Different breeds have different grooming needs. Dogs with short coats or hairless breeds may require less frequent bathing than those with long or dense coats. Breeds with skin folds, such as Bulldogs, may need more attention to prevent skin issues. 2. Activity Level:  More active dogs, especially those that spend a lot of time outdoors or get dirty frequently, may need more frequent baths. Dogs that are less active or spend more time indoors may require less frequent bathing. 3. Health Conditions:  Dogs with certain skin conditions or allergies may require more frequent baths with medicated shampoos, as a veterinarian recommends. In some cases, too-frequent bathing can exacerbate skin issues, so it's essential to follow veterinary advice. 4. Coat Type:...

Can large dogs travel in airline cabins?

  Is there any airline that will allow my large dog to travel with us in the cabin? This is a question we at  Dogegis Dog Blog  get frequently. An increasing number of dog owners are traveling with their pups, both domestically and internationally. Just two years ago, Mike and I (Lily) flew with our dachshund Django to Europe. We spent three weeks bouncing around France and Italy with our little guy. We fortunately had no issues bringing Lily since he's 15 lbs and fits comfortably in an airline-approved pet carrier. CAN LARGE DOGS FLY IN CABIN? We wish we could tell you otherwise, but unfortunately no airlines that we know of allow large dogs in-cabin.

ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS?   The only exceptions are if the dog is a certified service animal (i.e. a guide dog for the blind) or, in some cases, an emotional support animal or therapy animal. Most U.S. air...
