Should You Adopt a Dog from a Rescue or Purchase from a Breeder?

Should You Adopt a Dog from a Rescue or Purchase from a Breeder?

Woof Post,
Ellen Britt for CNT #wooftipsRescue organizations do incredible work and so deserve to be supported. Dogs that otherwise would undoubtedly be euthanized find loving and caring homes through their work. People who go through a rescue organization to adopt are doubly rewarded, both for saving the dog and for years of wonderful loving canine companionship.I love the work rescue organizations do, and I also love there are responsible, careful breeders out there who work diligently to ensure the survival and propagation of the breed they have chosen as theirs. Through careful selection and breeding, they ensure the breed standard is upheld…

Do All Dogs Go To Heaven?

Woof Post, ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #wooftipsFor most dog owners, the day his or her beloved canine companion dies is one of the most painful days in that person’s memory. And it’s especially heartrending because for most owners, they themselves, in consultation with their veterinarian, have to make the merciful, yet awful decision to let their dog go and relieve him of his suffering.So it’s no wonder that dog owners hold out hope that their dogs live on in an afterlife and that they will one day see them again. The Rainbow BridgeOne of the most popular dog heaven memes is the idea of…

Seven Common Pet Food Ingredients You Should Avoid Feeding Your Dog

Seven Common Pet Food Ingredients You Should Avoid Feeding Your Dog

Woof Post, ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #wooftipsThe majority of dog owners are not likely to pay too much attention to the food they feed their canines. As long as it’s a reputable brand put out by a well known company, they tend to trust it will provide the nutrition it claims to provide.Other dog owners feed a brand that has been recommended, or even sold, by their vet, especially if their dog has a health condition, such as a digestive problem or kidney disease for example, that requires a specialized diet.But perhaps it’s time for dog owners to start paying more attention…

NFTs Will Make Transactions Of All Kinds More Secure

NFT,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFTWhile NFT artwork is still very popular and shows no signs of waning, the utility applications for NFTs are steadily increasing. This is a great thing for transactions of all kinds!When you think about it, the way we used to do paper-based transactions prior to the digital age was a real pain.
