How to really take good care of a goldendoodle?

Q. I want to buy a mini goldendoodle puppy but I need some good tips. Can someone help me get good tips on dogs?

A. Here's a tip...Don't buy a overpriced mutt such as a Goldendoodle - Be respectable and get a PUREBRED Golden if you have to have a dog!

I didn't realize they were breeding "Mini-Mutts" now, but I guess it was coming...


What are some good dog walking tips?
Q. my sister and i want to start a little Dog Walking Business for the summer, so we need some good tips on dog walking. Thanks!

A. Practice with your own dog.

Don't take this the wrong way, buy I wouldn't give you my dogs to walk and I'm not sure of any responsible dog owners who would.


Do you have tips for dogs during the summer?
Q. I saw this posted on another forum. It's some good information about dogs in hot cars: http://www.mydogiscool.com/

What are your summer dog tips that you'd like to share with others?

A. 1. Never leave your dog in hot car. The temperature can climb well over 120 degrees and can kill your dog in a matter of minutes. It's better if they stay home on hot days.

2. Keep your dog on heartworm preventative. With all the rain in the summer, it's perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes and all it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito to infect your dog with heartworms.

3. Buy a kiddie swimming pool for your dog. Most dogs would love to splash around on a hot day.

4. Make sure your dog has access to water at all times. Dogs can dehydrate very easily in hot weather. Throw in some ice cubes for good measure.

5. Walk your dog in the early morning or in the late evening to prevent your dog from getting heat exhaustion and blistering on your dogs feet. Cement and tar become unbearably hot in the summertime.

6. If you have an outside dog, make sure he has a shady place to retreat to.

7. Be aware of your dogs body language and appetite. He may be trying to tell you something.

8. Check with a groomer before shaving your dog. Even though you may think it will keep him cooler, many dogs, especially dogs with double coats, use their coats to protect them from the heat.

9. If your dog is going to be out in the sun for a prolonged period of time, don't forget the sunscreen! Dogs can get melanoma/skin cancer and need protection, too. Especially on their ears and nose.
