When you decided to get a dog, I’ll bet you daydreamed about the great times you’d have with your new best friend. However, there are many things that you need to consider in order to keep your pooch happy and healthy. Things that perhaps you’d rather not even think about!

When you go to the veterinarian he may ask you to bring along a urine sample from your dog. How do you do this? Your dog surely won’t be able to hit a sample bottle. The easiest way to do this is to tape a polythene container to the end of a yard stick. While your dog is out doing his business, position the container underneath his urine stream. This is easier to do with male dogs than female dogs but you can usually get a sample after one or two tries. Your veterinarian will want as fresh a sample as possible so if you won’t be taking the sample to the vet right away, keep it refrigerated until you bring it in. Your veterinarian will be checking the sample for a variety of things like bacteria and crystals. If bacteria is found it could mean that your dog has a urinary tract infection and will most likely require your dog to be put on a course of antibiotics. Crystals form in the urine whenever minerals bind together, there are several different kinds of crystals and these are most often treated with prescription diets.

If your veterinarian asks for a stool sample it could mean that he suspects that intestinal parasites are infecting your dog. They can get these by eating fecal matter from another affected animal, carcasses, or other unsavory things. You will want to bring in a fresh sample. The doctor will examine it under the microscope and look for telltale eggs of parasites.

Commonest parasites are roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Several of today’s monthly heartworm medications also protect against roundworms and hookworms. If you live in the country or your dog is outside for many times of the day, he may need to be treated with a tapeworm wormer on a quarterly basis. Other diseases like coccidian can also be seen under the microscope from your dog’s stool sample.

What about anal glands? The anal glands are two small glands located just on the inside of your dog’s anus that secrete a foul smelling liquid. Usually the glands will be emptied when your dog defecates. Unfortunately, in some dogs, the anal glands become impacted and do not empty properly. If your dog is urinating more than usual or licking his hind quarters more often, there may be a problem with his anal glands. In this case it’s important to make an appointment with your veterinarian who will check the anal glands by gloved touch. If the anal glands are full, he will be able to empty them manually. It is possible, however, to learn how to do this yourself at home. Some dogs require their anal glands be manually emptied regularly. Some owners have their dog’s anal glands surgically removed but if you choose to do tahis, discuss the possible outcomes with your veterinarian as there is often a risk of fecal incontinence if the surgery goes awry.

Occasionally in dogs, dandruff is just dandruff caused by skin allergies, nutritional deficiencies, or improper grooming. Sometimes, however, dandruff can be a sign of a parasite called mange of which there are a few different types:

  1. Demodectic Mange is caused by a mite, which all dogs have but are rarely adversely affected by it. Sometimes however, there can be an overabundance of these mites which causes skin irritation and hair loss.
  2. Sarcoptic Mange (also known as scabies) is caused by another type of mite. A female mite buries herself in the dog’s skin and lays her eggs there. When the eggs hatch, the cycle begins again. This causes severe skin irritation and hair loss in dogs but is easily treatable.
  3. Cheyletiella Mange is caused by a large mite that lives on the surface of the dog’s skin. This infestation is also known as ‘walking dandruff’. This type of mange causes minor skin irritation but is easily treatable with topical medication.

So, now you can talk about those unpleasant things! It’s important that you are properly educated and can recognize signs and symptoms so that you keep your dog as healthy as he can be.

The Alaskan Malamute is a medium-large to large dog that weighs between 70-95 pounds and measures up to 25″.  They are best known as sled dogs and are used to hard work.  They ideal for cold climates or homes that will keep them cool and hydrated in hot summers.  The Alaskan Malamute has a thick, coarse outer coat and wooly, dense undercoat.  They are dressed for cold weather.  If you own an Alaskan Malamute and live in a warmer climate, you need to make sure that they have a place to get out of the sun and al lot of water.

They come in a variety of colors including solid white, shadings of light to medium gray, black, sable, and red.  In animals with shadings, parts of legs, feet, the underbody, and part of face markings are predominantly white.  The AKC does not recognize any other solid colors than white.

Alaskan Malamutes are independent, friendly and loyal.  They are more active when they are puppies and tend to mellow when they get older.  They are chewers, diggers and explorers.  If you don’t want it played with, than put it away.  When your Alaskan Malamute is outside, make sure that they can’t dig out of the yard or jump over their fence.  They are not good apartment, small home or city dogs.  They love to be outside and need plenty of room to play.  Because they are extremely playful as puppies, they would be better for older children until they become calmer.  They work best with other animals and pets when they are socialized at a young age.  They can be aggressive towards other dogs and can consider small animals prey.  This is an ideal dog for a family home that allows plenty of outdoor time to play and explore
The breed dates back over 2000 years and is a native of Alaska.  They were originally used as sled dogs by the Alaskan Malamute Eskimo tribe. Other than to be a companion dog, the Alaskan Malamutes are still used as sled dogs for racing, exploration and families living in arctic regions.

As hardworking sled dogs, they are important household pets for families living in cold, snow covered areas and imperative to their way of life.  If you are looking for an independent but loving companion, the Alaskan Malamute is a perfect dog for you.
