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?

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, ,

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.
