Question

name a website that teaches you how to give a dog cpr

Answer 1

There are vegetarian dog foods out there. However, dogs are CARNIVORES! They need the easily digestible protein that is found in animal products.

CPR--contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross. They may offer a Pet First Aid course. (see http://www.redcross.org/services/hss/courses/pets.html
for details).

Websites: http://www.akc.org/public_education/emergency.cfm?SEARCH_BUTTON.X=0\&SEARCH_BUTTON.Y=0
gives some general first aid information.

Also, be sure to ask your vet what to do in an emergency. Does your vet handle their own emergencies or do they refer to an emergency clinic? Do you have your vet's number or the number and location of the nearest emergency clinic in an easily accessible place? (like programmed into your cell phone!) Be prepared!

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a vegetarian dog. Dogs are carnivores(Meat eaters). Just because your dog may eat certain types of vegetables or even some types of fruit? That doesn't mean that he/she is a vegetarian. As well as being carnivores and a predatory type animal they are also scavengers. This is why they will nose through the trash or pick up a piece of food that you accidentally drop on the floor. Some dogs are not to picky about what they scavenge for. And will eat food such as veggies or fruits if it's made available. Don't worry it won't hurt your dog if he eats these things but you don't want this to be what he eats as his primary staple. Dogs do not have the same kind of digestive system as humans and have a hard time digesting the same foods we do. Besides feeding your dog human food not only creates behavior problems such as begging, and finicky eating. But because they can't digest it properly it can cause obesity and intestinal problems that can cause discomfort and even pain for your dog. It shouldn't be hard to find a dog food that he/she will like. Find one that is high in protein and doesn't have to high of a fat content and make sure that it has natural meats i.e Beef, Chick,. Stay away from canned food they are FULL of fillers and byproducts. Dry food only. Also Stay away from gravy type dry foods. Good luck

Answer 3

NO NO NO

(Why does someone always ask this about every 5 days???)

Dogs are carnivores. They need certain amion acids and proteins that can only be obtained from meat.

In fact, the less grain in their diet, the better. Avoid dog foods that have corn at all, and any that are heavy on any grain

So sorry but your dog is not politically correct.

And I'm a vegetarian

Answer 4

A dog can be a vegetarian but it is definitely not healthy for them. Dogs are carnivores and need meat in their diet to keep them happy and healthy.

It is very in-humane to keep your dog from eating meat at all, wether you are a vegetarian or not.

*name a website that teaches you how to give a dog cpr* -> I doubt you can give a dog CPR yourself, you would have to take it to the vet.

Answer 5

Yes, it definitely can. You would have to give it low fibrous stuff. Greens and fibrous stuff could be a problem. Their stomach tends to run and they may develop skin allergy. Potatoes and carrots are good. For protein you could give him lentil soup. Now-a-days you can even get vegetarian dog food, I have heard. But the vets still recomend meat for dogs.

Answer 6

Doga are carnivores & need to eat meat, they need the proteins & nutrients in meat to be healthy...a lot of people feel that since they are vegetarian then their dogs should be too, this is wrong....in nature dogs eat meat & its not cruel or sick its just the way it is....bottom line dogs should eat meat & if you dont feel this to be true then you shouldnt own a dog, own a parrot or a rabbit, they dont need to have meat to be healthy

Answer 7

there are dogs that are vegetarians. my friend's dog refuses to eat meat and only eats rice and vegeatbles. but that's not heathy for the dog. just call your vet and ask for any suggestions that you can feed your dog that will be healthy and will get the right nutritian that it needs. carrots are good for you dog too so add some chopped carrots in its diet once in awhile.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
