If I Only Knew: 101 Essential Tips You Need To Raise A Happy, Healthy, Safe Dog - Book Review

I’m sure you wouldn’t do anything to harm your dog on purpose. But what if it was an accident? 


ac-ci-dent [ˈak-sə-dənt] - an unforeseen or unplanned event resulting in damage or injury, typically brought on by carelessness, inexperience or a lack of awareness

I remember a line from a children’s book I read a long time ago:
“An accidentally broken wasp nest, and a deliberately broken wasp nest look exactly the same.”

There are no shortcuts in life ... or are there?

You can learn things in two ways. Either through trial and error, or by learning from those who already have the experience and knowledge.

Which do you think is better when it comes to your dog's health and safety?

Did you ever have to rush your dog to the emergency with something that could have been easily prevented if you only knew better?

Prevention is the best medicine. But you can only protect your dog from dangers you’re aware of.

We cannot protect our dogs from everything but many things we can and should protect them from. Do you know what they are?

The most common reasons why dogs end up in the emergency
  • Trauma/injury
  • Digestive distress
  • Poisoning
  • Choking
