Costumes are an integral part of festive holidays. Christmas, Easter, Halloween - we love to dress up, so why not let your pet dress up too?

Don’t be afraid though - you don’t have to get out your sewing machine unless you want to, as there are so many commercially available costumes you can buy. For both cats and dogs, and even horses there’s an entire wonderful wardrobe of adornment you can buy.

The late autumn season provides a host of great costumes for your pet dog from the cute Pink Piggy (available in six sizes) right up to a real “hot dog” costume! In this feature though we are looking at Halloween.

All Hallows Eve is a spooky time when dark forces lurk in the shadows and mysterious creatures creep in the twilight. Mysterious Creatures such as Pumpkins - yes, you can dress your dog as a seasonal pumpkin on the night of shadows.

Food allergies are not exclusive to humans, but they can be difficult to diagnose in pets, especially when dog food allergies appear to manifest quickly. The biggest problem of course, is the pet’s inability to communicate the symptoms effectively, and they are many times confused with other ailments.

Symptoms of dog food allergies include excessive scratching, hair loss, skin infections, as well as ear infections. Oftentimes, antibiotics used for skin infections will clear them up briefly, but then they will reoccur when the antibiotics are completed.

There is also a difference between the dog food allergies and food intolerance. Intolerance to certain foods may cause symptoms such as diarrhea or frequent bowel movements and vomiting. Fortunately, whether the animal is suffering form food allergy or food intolerance once the proper diagnosis has been made, they both are treatable.

Since most dog food is made from beef, chicken, wheat, eggs, soy and dairy products, it should be no surprise that most allergies to dog food are caused by one of these ingredients.
