How The Hell Do You Spell The Name Of This Breed? Three DOZEN Misspellings! I found all of these misspellings in ads on Craigslist:
Dachhund Dachound Dachsaund Dachschund Dachshound Dachshund Dachsund Dachund Dacshound Dacshund Dacsund Dahtsund Daschound Daschund Dashhound Dashound Dashund Datschund Dauchand Dauchshund Dauchsund Dauchund Daucsaund Daucshund Dauschaund Dauschound Dauschund Daushaund Daushund Dochson Dotson Doxand Doxen Doxin Duchund Duhshound One poster of a "Daushaund" said her puppy, which she was trying to sell, looks like a mini "Rotwhiler.” Gees... poor Dachshunds. They need a simpler name. (Rottweilers too?) Can Toothpaste and Peanut Butter Kill Your Dog? Can toothpaste kill your dog? What about peanut butter? Yes! If you choose the wrong brands. What are the "wrong" brands? The ones that contain the sweetener Xylitol, which is (apparently) safe for humans but deadly (even in small amounts!) to dogs. In fact, it is MORE dangerous than chocolate! First let’s talk about most dogs’ favorite: Peanut butter. These popular products are safe! I checked the labels, AND called the manufacturers to double-check: BUT… what about OTHER peanut butters and nut butter spreads and TOOTHPASTE???
You are brushing your dog’s teeth, right? Make sure you are using toothpaste specifically made for dogs, which won't contain Xylitol or Fluoride, which is also harmful to dogs. And as with all human products Fido might steal and eat, keep your toothpaste out of his reach. I wrote previously about two dogs who almost died when a guest to their home left her purse unattended on the floor, and they got into it and ate gum sweetened with Xylitol. Xylitol is also in some cosmetics, mints, mouthwashes and cough drops, among other products. |
