  43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As warmer months are near, we all love spending more time outdoors with our beautiful pups. But something to be on the lookout for is Lyme disease in our puppies. Ticks that carry the harmful disease not only can hurt our furry friends, but <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/lyme-disease-in-dogs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lyme Disease</a> is also a threat to humans.<br />
  44. Being able to identify the symptoms in our dogs and have a doctor diagnose them as early as possible is key. More importantly, we go over prevention strategies so you and your pup can enjoy the warm weather and have a nice summer.</p>
  45. <h2>What Is Lyme’s Disease</h2>
  46. <p>Lyme Disease is an illness that occurs when borrelia bacteria find their way into the bloodstream of a human or animal. In almost all cases, it’s transferred from a tick bite that carries these specific bacteria.</p>
  47. <p>While Lyme’s Disease is present throughout most of the United States, it is more prevalent in the Pacific Coast, Upper Midwest, and Northeastern parts of the country. They mostly hang out in tall grasses, woods, or mashes. They can only fly, so you don’t have to worry about ticks jumping or flying.</p>
  48. <p>What makes it difficult for dogs is that ticks are easier to <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/signs-of-fleas-on-dogs-how-do-i-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hide in their fur</a> and can remain latched on for longer periods of time. It takes 24 to 48 hours for the tick to be latched on for the bacteria to enter the bloodstream.</p>
  49. <p>When the bacteria seep into the bloodstream, it then travels to many parts of the body, including organs and joints. This causes overall illness and results in the symptoms we are about to discuss.</p>
  50. <h2>Symptoms to Be on the LookOut For</h2>
  51. <p>When a human gets Lyme Disease, it’s easy to speak to a doctor and get the right diagnosis. But for our pups that can’t communicate with us, we need to have an extra set of eyes for the following symptoms.</p>
  52. <ul>
  53. <li>Fever &#8211; To check for fever in pups and see if their ears or nose is warm. Check to see if their eyes are glossy or red. They may have shivers or a runny nose. Panting without exercise.</li>
  54. <li>A Loss of appetite. Dogs who seemingly are skipping meals or are not eating much are a symptom This is especially true if your dog normally <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/5-pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gets excited around food.</a></li>
  55. <li>Showing signs of discomfort or pain. Unable or resisting exercise. Moving slower than normal.</li>
  56. <li>Swelling of the joints can be a bit harder to detect and will likely require a medical professional to diagnose this.</li>
  57. </ul>
  58. <h2>How Is It Diagnosed</h2>
  59. <p>The symptoms of Lyme Disease are serious for pups. But they also can be symptoms that fit a number of other issues. Having a veterinarian diagnose the disease is needed. Without diagnosis and treatment, symptoms can result in kidney failure or cardiac and neurological effects.</p>
  60. <p>A veterinarian will look at the dog&#8217;s health charts, medical history, current physical symptoms, and perform a number of diagnostic tests before concluding that they have Lyme Disease.</p>
  61. <p>Dogs will receive two blood tests in order to diagnose Lyme disease. One is called the C6 Test, and the other is called the Quant C6 test. Veterinarians must administer tHese.</p>
  62. <p>The first test is the C6 test. It works to detect specific antibodies that work against the protein called C6. When a dog has the antibodies, it is usually an indication that the dog has Lyme Disease and is trying to fight it off.</p>
  63. <p>These antibodies, however, will be detected somewhere between three and five weeks after the infection starts from the tick bite. Testing too early, unfortunately, may result in a negative. But sometimes, dogs do not show illness until weeks after.</p>
  64. <p>Each situation is unique. Afterward, the veterinarian will administer the Quant C6 test. This test helps identify if antibody treatment is necessary.</p>
  65. <p>Specialists at <a href="https://bondvet.com/c/williamsburg-animal-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bond Vet in Williamsburg</a> note that you can always schedule a virtual appointment with a vet if you aren’t entirely sure about the symptoms your dog is experiencing.</p>
  66. <h2>Treatment</h2>
  67. <p>Most of the time, the treatment is a 30-day supply of medication and antibiotics. If severe situations where the disease persists, a veterinarian may continue to prescribe an alternate medication. And there are therapies and alternatives to improve the current symptoms and condition of your pup.<br />
  68. Preventative Treatment<br />
  69. Preventative treatment is the best kind of treatment for your dog. There are a number of things you can do to help your dog avoid getting Lyme Disease in the first place. Here are the best tips and practices.</p>
  70. <ol>
  71. <li>After bringing your dog outside, always check for ticks, even if you believe the area is tick free. To properly check for ticks, run your fingers through their fur to feel for any bumps. You can use a flashlight for dogs with darker fur. When it is warmer months, make sure to be diligent about this.</li>
  72. <li>Whenever you bring your dog in to see the vet ask them to do a thorough tick check. Veterinarians will have no issue doing this and may be able to look in spots you weren’t able to check.</li>
  73. <li>Ask your vet about products that work well as preventative measures. There are a number of gels, sprays, and mousses that are safe for dogs and keep ticks away and even kill them when they are exposed to the fur or skin.</li>
  74. <li>Keeping your pup up to date on their vaccinations is a great way for them to stay healthy. Without these vaccinations, the tick bite can do more damage if their immune system isn’t strong.</li>
  75. <li>Keeping your landscape well-maintained is key. Keep your lawn short and mowed. If there are weeds or woods nearby, try to keep your dog out of these areas.</li>
  76. </ol>
  77. <p>Even with these best practices, ticks still manage to find their way to our doggies. Getting a tick off as soon as possible is the best way to handle the situation. Get a pair of tweezers and burn the tick after removal.</p>
  78. <h2>Support and Love For Your Pup</h2>
  79. <p>If your puppy does contract Lyme Disease, it is important to give them a lot of love and support. For instance, if you can tell that muscles are achy, bring food closer to them so they don’t have to walk far to get it.</p>
  80. <p>Showing them positive emotions can also be very important for your dog. Dogs can sense fear. They are likely already feeling stressed, so adding to it can slow down their recovery. Just think, if you were sick, how would you want to be taken care of?</p>

  99. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The year is coming to an end! Although it may be hard to believe, we are already counting down and Thanksgiving 2022 is approaching.</p>
  100. <p>These types of celebrations demand a lot of preparation time, organization, and things to consider, from dinner to guests.</p>
  101. <p>That&#8217;s why we wanted to write this post today to tell you the 5 safety tips for pets on Thanksgiving.</p>
  102. <p>Reading this post will help ensure your furry friend is safe and everything goes as planned.</p>
  103. <p><strong>Read on and discover the tips.</strong></p>
  104. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20813" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022-300x200.jpg" alt="pets thanksgiving safety tips" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022-300x200.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
  105. <h2>#1 Don&#8217;t give your pet human food or leftovers</h2>
  106. <p>Yes, I know, your furry best friend, especially, if it&#8217;s a dog, loves to eat leftover meat and you can&#8217;t say no to those eyes when they look at you so tenderly.</p>
  107. <p>However, since you want the best for him, you will have to refrain from giving him certain treats this Thanksgiving.</p>
  108. <p>Imagine if the greasy holiday food is hard for you to digest, how will it be for your pet?</p>
  109. <p>Plus, many of the foods on the typical Thanksgiving menu have ingredients that are toxic to pets, such as dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, onions, mushrooms, and alcohol.</p>
  110. <h2></h2>
  111. <h2>#2 Don&#8217;t feed turkey bones</h2>
  112. <p>Both cooked and raw bones can cause several complicated health issues for your pets.</p>
  113. <p>Once your friend ingests these bones, the fragments and splinters can break off and get caught in your pet&#8217;s throat or esophagus which can cause them to choke.</p>
  114. <p>Did you see that? So, try to avoid giving turkey bones to your pets.</p>
  115. <h2><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20815" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/dia-de-accion-de-gracias-2022-desfile-de-macys-2022-3-300x194.jpg" alt=" pets thanksgiving safety tips" width="300" height="194" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/dia-de-accion-de-gracias-2022-desfile-de-macys-2022-3-300x194.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/dia-de-accion-de-gracias-2022-desfile-de-macys-2022-3.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></h2>
  116. <h2>#3 Beware of other pet visitors</h2>
  117. <p>Since your home is pet friendly, many of your guests will want to bring their little friends but try to make sure that those they bring are, first and foremost, pets that your dog or cat already knows.</p>
  118. <p>Try to have the dogs and cats in different places, as well as the male and female dogs because the homeowner will want to protect his land and even more so if food is involved.</p>
  119. <p>So, so that nothing interrupts the toast, make sure that each pet has its place.</p>
  120. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  121. <h2>#4 Make sure your pets have their identification tags up to date</h2>
  122. <p>The doorbell rings, guests arrive, you open the door, and your dog or cat runs away. No collar? Well, you&#8217;ll spend the whole Thanksgiving dinner looking for it all over the neighborhood.</p>
  123. <p>To prevent this from happening, you can place protection around the doors and put the collar on your pet with all your data on it. This way, the neighbor who finds him will be able to warn you.</p>
  124. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  125. <h2>#5 Prepare your guests and your pet</h2>
  126. <p>Thanksgiving dinner is like having a lot of people over, right?</p>
  127. <p>And of those people you receive, how many know your dog or cat? That&#8217;s why you should establish certain rules so that neither the guests nor your pet has a bad time during the evening, especially if your friend is not used to seeing so many people at home, so much commotion and noise.</p>
  128. <p>Talk to the guests about how they should act with your pet and don&#8217;t leave it alone with a group of children.</p>
  129. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20814" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022-dinner-200x300.jpg" alt="pets thanksgiving safety tips" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022-dinner-200x300.jpg 200w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pets-thanksgiving-safety-tips-2022-dinner.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></p>
  130. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  131. <p>Now you know what it takes to have a safe Thanksgiving with your pet &#8211; everything will be great!</p>
  132. <p>So that everything goes as you wish, apart from these 5 pets’ thanksgiving safety tips, we have found this<a href="https://www.redargentina.com/guia-para-celebrar-el-dia-de-accion-de-gracias-2022-y-el-desfile-de-macys-en-nueva-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Guide to celebrate Thanksgiving 2022 and the Macys Parade in New York</a>, it is in Spanish, but it is worth translating it and reading because it is very complete.</p>
  133. <p>Share this post with those people you know who have a pet so they can enjoy a spectacular day without mishaps.</p>

  267. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the advent of the <strong>metaverse</strong>, <strong>digital dogs</strong> have also arrived.<br />
  268. Now your dog can also accompany you in <strong>virtual reality worlds</strong>.<br />
  269. Do you know what the most surprising thing is?<br />
  270. That these <strong>digital dogs in the metaverse can be trained with artificial intelligence</strong>!<br />
  271. Do you want to know how you can train your <strong>dog in the metaverse</strong>?<br />
  272. Read on and find out!</p>
  273. <h2><strong>What is Artificial Intelligence?</strong></h2>
  274. <p><strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI)</strong> is the combination of algorithms designed to create machines that have the same capabilities as humans.<br />
  275. A technology that still seems distant and mysterious to us, but which for some years now has been always present in our daily lives.</p>
  276. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone  wp-image-20796" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Digital Dogs in The Metaverse Can Be Trained With Artificial Intelligence" width="414" height="233" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px" /></p>
  277. <h2><strong>Work in the metaverse as a dog trainer</strong></h2>
  278. <p>Can you imagine <a href="https://www.redargentina.com/5-tips-to-find-a-job-in-the-metaverse/">working in the metaverse</a> as a dog trainer? Or simply <strong>training your dog with artificial intelligence</strong>?<br />
  279. There is a company, called <a href="https://thedigitaldogs.co/">Digital Pets</a> that is currently preparing to launch a series of three-dimensional (3D) dogs powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), which will be destined for the metaverse.<br />
  280. This company, founded by dog-loving engineers and developers, aims to bring these animals to the virtual world.<br />
  281. To do this, it has a team made up of experts in AI, machine learning, and virtual reality (VR).<br />
  282. If you have one of the careers of the future, maybe you can <a href="https://www.redargentina.com/5-tips-to-find-a-job-in-the-metaverse/"><strong>work in the metaverse</strong></a> training dogs.</p>
  283. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone  wp-image-20797" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1-210x300.png" alt="Digital Dogs in The Metaverse Can Be Trained With Artificial Intelligence" width="306" height="437" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1-210x300.png 210w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-1.png 480w" sizes="(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px" /></p>
  284. <h2><strong>Scan your dog to take it to the metaverse</strong></h2>
  285. <p>You will also be able to scan your pet and tokenize a 3D NFT to take it to the metaverse.<br />
  286. NFTs find true utility with the <strong>advent of the Metaverse</strong>, for example, in the tattoo industry, the tattoo artist can <a href="https://www.tattoosdesignslive.com/buy-and-sell-tattoos-in-the-metaverse-with-nfts/">buy and sell tattoos in the metaverse with NFT</a>.<br />
  287. As you have seen, the world of virtual reality in the metaverse offers us multiple possibilities to perform all daily activities in a virtual environment.<br />
  288. You can shop and even eat in the metaverse, yes, just as you read, you could <a href="https://laythetable.com/featured/eat-in-the-metaverse-with-your-couple-an-original-date/">invite your boyfriend or girlfriend to an original lunch date in the metaverse!</a></p>
  289. <h2><strong>Bring your pet back to life in the metaverse</strong></h2>
  290. <p><strong>Digital Dogs in the Metaverse can be Trained with Artificial Intelligence</strong> and also can be brought back to life!<br />
  291. Having a <strong>digital dog</strong> will be incredible for many people who love and loved their dogs.<br />
  292. The <strong>metaverse</strong> gives us an opportunity for those who lost their pets to bring them back to life in the virtual reality world and continue enjoying them.<br />
  293. We just must wait to see how this initiative and the metaverse will be in the future.<br />
  294. Do you want to go out and take a walk with your dog? Or have a dinosaur as a pet?<br />
  295. <strong>The metaverse</strong> is a new world full of possibilities!</p>
  296. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone  wp-image-20798" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-2-300x300.jpg" alt="Digital Dogs in The Metaverse Can Be Trained With Artificial Intelligence" width="417" height="417" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/digital-dogs-can-be-trained-in-the-metaverse-my-social-petwork-2.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px" /></p>
  297. <h2><strong>How to train a digital dog with artificial intelligence?</strong></h2>
  298. <p>The company <a href="https://thedigitaldogs.co/vision">Digital Pets</a> explains it well with its innovative proposal.<br />
  299. One of its objectives is to create a digital laboratory where you can find different types of digital dogs.<br />
  300. These dogs will be able to interact with their owners in virtual reality spaces.<br />
  301. Using HoloLens glasses, it will be possible to visualize and control these digital dogs in video games or any other virtual environment, such as a shopping mall or a park.<br />
  302. You can also have your dog accompany you shopping in the metaverse!<br />
  303. Each dog will have unique physical and psychological characteristics to differentiate it from other dogs.<br />
  304. They will all have different levels of intelligence, joy, energy, and adaptability to the outside world.<br />
  305. If you want to discover your dog’s language you must read this article:<a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/interpreting-the-dogs-body-language/"> Interpreting Dogs’ body language</a><br />
  306. Also, if you have a cat, we recommend you read these <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/5-tips-to-understand-cat-body-language-and-behavior/">5 tips to understand cat body language and behavior</a>!<br />
  307. The first <strong>digital dog</strong> has already been created and is called Laika! and is currently being tested and trained with artificial intelligence.</p>
  308. <h2><strong>Do you prefer a digital dog or your dog in real life?</strong></h2>
  309. <p>Going for a walk and sharing with our dog in the physical world will always be more entertaining and, above all, healthy.<br />
  310. Exercising is not possible in <strong>the metaverse</strong>, as far as we all know.<br />
  311. Surely <strong>the metaverse</strong> will bring us many possibilities and healthy fun, however, we must know how to balance between the virtual reality world and the physical plane.<br />
  312. Balance is the key.<br />
  313. Did you like to know that <strong>Digital Dogs in the Metaverse can be Trained With Artificial Intelligence?</strong></p>

  404. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If <strong>dogs dream</strong> is a question that many of us have asked ourselves.<br />
  405. The answer is yes, <strong>dogs dream</strong> about their owners and many other things!<br />
  406. They also have nightmares, and this stresses them out.<br />
  407. In today&#8217;s post, we will give you some tips for you to <strong>find out if your dog is dreaming</strong> and we will tell you how you can help the dog if it is having a bad dream.</p>
  408. <p><strong>Read on!</strong></p>
  409. <h2>Sleep phases in dogs</h2>
  410. <p><strong>Dogs</strong> have a sleep pattern similar to humans.<br />
  411. In addition, they sleep many more hours a day than we do.</p>
  412. <p>Just like us, dogs go through different sleep phases.<br />
  413. The deep sleep phase is when dogs begin to dream.</p>
  414. <h2><strong>There are two main stages or phases of sleep:</strong></h2>
  415. <h3>1. Slow, short-wave, or NREM sleep</h3>
  416. <p>During NREM sleep the dog&#8217;s brain is quiet and its body, although relaxed, may move or change position. Heart rate decreases, body temperature drops, and growth hormones are released. During this phase of sleep, the dog does not dream.</p>
  417. <figure id="attachment_20778" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20778" style="width: 456px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-20778" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dog-sleeping-300x225.jpg" alt="Do Dogs Dream? 5 Tips to Discover if a Dog is Dreaming" width="466" height="349" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dog-sleeping-300x225.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dog-sleeping.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-20778" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Albina White</figcaption></figure>
  418. <h3>2. REM (Rapid-Eyes-Movement) Sleep</h3>
  419. <p>REM sleep is when the dog sleeps deeply and dreams. Breathing is rapid and irregular, and the dog may become agitated, move its legs as if it were running, and even articulate sounds and bark.<br />
  420. REM stands for &#8220;Rapid Eyes Movement&#8221; because the eyeballs move rapidly under the eyelids during this phase of sleep. Sometimes this can be easily observed because the dog falls asleep with its eyes slightly open.</p>
  421. <p>The REM phase is the phase during which the dog dreams and picks up a great deal of information from the environment due to the high brain activity it has. In this phase, the level of brain activity is like when the dog is awake.</p>
  422. <h2>Discover if your Dog is Dreaming with these 4 Tips!</h2>
  423. <p>If you observe that while your dog is sleeping, any of the following behaviors are present, it is evident that your dog could be dreaming.</p>
  424. <p>1.- Hearing a soft growl or a whimper.<br />
  425. 2.- He moves his paws while sleeping as if he were running.<br />
  426. 3.- Occasional tremors or spasms.<br />
  427. 4.- Barking or waking up suddenly startled.</p>
  428. <h2>Dogs sleep like their wild ancestors, the wolves</h2>
  429. <p>If we talk about how dogs sleep, we inevitably refer to their wild ancestors.<br />
  430. Because they wake up frequently during their rest, just as wolves do, i.e. they alternate sleep with periods of wakefulness.<br />
  431. Dogs spend more time in wakefulness than people during the night and wake up considerably more often.</p>
  432. <p>They sleep for five to twenty minutes at a time, then wake up for another five minutes, and then go back to sleep.<br />
  433. This behavior responds to the fact that the dog still retains many of the behaviors of its ancestor the wolf.<br />
  434. Let&#8217;s not forget that dogs are predators (hunters) and need to be alert.<br />
  435. For this reason, their deep REM sleep phase is short-lived and they may wake up quickly if a threat arises in the environment.</p>
  436. <h2>Don&#8217;t wake up your dog if it is dreaming</h2>
  437. <p>Never wake your pet up unexpectedly if you see that it is dreaming.<br />
  438. Wait until it calms down and try to gradually and gently quiet it down.</p>
  439. <h2>How to help a dog that is dreaming or having a nightmare?</h2>
  440. <ul>
  441. <li>Caress the animal on its side, very slowly, until it gradually notices your presence and relaxes.</li>
  442. <li>Call your dog&#8217;s name quietly. This causes the animal&#8217;s sleep to redirect to something calmer or to come out of REM sleep without abruptness.<br />
  443. &#8211; Once you have awakened your dog, allow it to sleep again. The animal needs to rest and calm down after the startle.<br />
  444. &#8211; If you think your dog may be having a seizure, it is best to call his name. The animal will only wake up if it is in a deep sleep.</li>
  445. </ul>
  446. <figure id="attachment_20779" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20779" style="width: 531px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-20779" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/caress-dog-sleeping-300x225.jpg" alt="Do Dogs Dream? 5 Tips to Discover if a Dog is Dreaming" width="541" height="406" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/caress-dog-sleeping-300x225.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/caress-dog-sleeping.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-20779" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Karolina Grabowska</figcaption></figure>
  447. <h2>What to do to stop my dog from having nightmares?</h2>
  448. <p>The first thing you should do is to keep a record of what time the nightmares occur, what he eats and at what time, as well as the noises in the house at that time.<br />
  449. These details could be useful for a veterinarian to establish the causes of the nightmares and determine if the animal has a serious health problem.<br />
  450. In addition, if our animal does not get enough rest, the lack of sleep could take its toll and affect them physically and psychologically.</p>
  451. <p>Therefore, we must take care of our dog&#8217;s resting area and choose a bed that ensures the maximum possible comfort.<br />
  452. On the other hand, it is important to make sure that our pet has a stable life, with an established time routine, because if it suffers alterations during the day or we have a stressed animal, it is quite likely to suffer bad dreams at night.</p>
  453. <h2>The meaning of dreams</h2>
  454. <p>A dog cannot tell us what his dream has been about, but a human being can discover the meaning of his dreams if he sets out to investigate a little.<br />
  455. If you are interested in dream-related topics and want to find out more about what dreams are and <a href="https://www.redargentina.com/what-are-dreams-why-do-we-dream-about-numbers/">why humans dream</a>, we invite you to read the following recommended articles:</p>

  617. <h2>Cats are not like dogs</h2>
  618. <p><strong>Cats are different from dogs</strong>, but the language in which they communicate can be similar.</p>
  619. <p>It is important that you can understand <strong>what your cat wants to say</strong> and what the things it needs are, for example, if it is hungry, if it wants to be alone or if it wants to be petted.</p>
  620. <p>Understanding <strong>how your pet communicates</strong> will allow you to enjoy his or her company better.</p>
  621. <p>It will also help you to maintain order in your home because <strong>cats and dogs need to be educated</strong> to avoid bad behaviors.</p>
  622. <p>Some cats destroy and scratch furniture, bite objects, or even worse, show aggressive behavior with any of the members of your family.</p>
  623. <p>Continue reading so you can discover <strong>what your cat wants to tell you</strong> through its language.</p>

  629. <h2>Common gestures and behaviors in cats</h2>
  630. <p>There are common gestures and behaviors in <strong>cats</strong> that facilitate communication with their owners and allow us to interpret three basic moods: if the animal is afraid, if it is calm or if it is angry and defensive.</p>
  631. <p>Knowing how the <strong>cat</strong> is and what it wants at any given moment greatly facilitates the relationship with the people who live around it, whether they are adults or children.<br />
  632. The facial expression of the animal provides a lot of information, but also its behavior, or even the shape of its tail.</p>

  640. <h2>Tip #1 Pay attention to the eyes, ears, and tail.</h2>
  641. <p>If the <strong>cat</strong> doesn&#8217;t move, withdraws, only moves its eyes, has alert ears, as if it wants to listen to everything that happens around it, with a distant look and, above all, if it has very dilated, round and large pupils, it is better not to approach it because this means that the animal is very scared.</p>
  642. <p>If the ears are backward and the tail is swollen, go away immediately, because the <strong>cat</strong> is ready to attack.</p>
  643. <p>It is also relatively easy to detect and interpret when a cat is afraid.</p>
  644. <p>It tends to become very bristly, curled up, its ears are far back, and sometimes its pupils are very dilated.</p>
  645. <p>Its <strong>meow</strong> is very clear, like a scream or growl.</p>
  646. <p>As is also unequivocal the meow of the cats when they are in estrus is extremely deep and usually very annoying.</p>
  647. <p>There are also intermediate states of mood, as when they keep the tail straight and move only the tip.</p>
  648. <p>In this case, experts in veterinarians say, the best thing to do is to let the cat &#8220;smell you, as it is gradually losing its fear&#8221;.</p>
  649. <p>Also, you can detect when a <strong>cat</strong> is hungry and wants to eat because its meow is clean, its body is relaxed and its pupils are vertical, looking at the person who can feed it.</p>
  650. <p>They strive for attention and usually, they can easily get it.</p>
  651. <p>An example: a <strong>cat</strong> that approaches us, that looks for us, that even rubs with us, is a cat that is calm and wants to interact.</p>

  659. <h2>Tip #2 Pay attention to urine and nail marks</h2>
  660. <p>Understanding <strong>cats</strong> requires considering many other factors beyond body language.</p>
  661. <p>In <strong>cats</strong>, auditory and especially olfactory communication is extremely important.</p>
  662. <p><strong>Cats</strong> are territorial animals and experts recommend not to cover up the urine marks with other odors or clean the marking of cats because it can cause them stress.</p>

  670. <h2>Tip #3 Pay attention to the purr</h2>
  671. <p>When a <strong>cat purrs</strong> it is not always asking to be petted, because all it is saying is that it feels comfortable.</p>
  672. <p>When it asks for caresses it usually does it in a very explicit way, looking for contact with the human.</p>
  673. <h2>Tip #4 Identify if your cat is hungry</h2>
  674. <p>If your <strong>cat</strong> keeps an eye on you, has a relaxed body, a clean meow, and vertical pupils, it&#8217;s asking for food!</p>
  675. <h2>Tip #5 Observe your cat&#8217;s whiskers</h2>
  676. <p>Also, if your <strong>cat</strong> has its whiskers back in the area of its cheeks, it is probably sick, as a healthy cat&#8217;s whiskers are fully extended.</p>
  677. <p>Another clear sign of illness is scratching more than usual, as this implies that your cat may have fleas, ticks, or mites.</p>

  716. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On many occasions, we have asked ourselves the question of whether c<strong>ats and dogs can be friends.</strong><br />
  717. We have seen cases in which <strong>cats and dogs</strong> can live together as friends and others in which they cannot.<br />
  718. What does it depend on if a <strong>dog and a cat can be friends</strong>?<br />
  719. In today&#8217;s post, we will solve this question and give you some tips in case you are thinking about making <strong>a dog and a cat</strong> <strong>become friends</strong>.</p>
  720. <h2><strong>The language of dogs and cats are different</strong></h2>
  721. <p><strong>Dogs</strong> don&#8217;t hate <strong>cats</strong> and <strong>cats</strong> don&#8217;t fear <strong>dogs</strong>, it&#8217;s just that their language is different.<br />
  722. Whether a <strong>dog</strong> and a <strong>cat</strong> are friends will depend on many factors.<br />
  723. There have been cases in which both species can live together if they have a master who knows how to treat them consistently and understands that the beginning of the relationship is fundamental.<br />
  724. However, we must remember that sometimes coexistence is not possible, and the master&#8217;s kindness is not enough for a <strong>cat</strong> and a <strong>dog</strong> to be friends.</p>
  725. <figure id="attachment_20743" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20743" style="width: 290px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-20743" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/can-cats-and-dogs-be-friends-my-social-petwork-2-300x200.jpg" alt="Can dogs and cats be friends?" width="300" height="200" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-20743" class="wp-caption-text">The pretty girl embracing cat and dog</figcaption></figure>
  726. <h2><strong>Interpreting the language of dogs and cats</strong></h2>
  727. <p>The posture of a <strong>dog</strong> or a <strong>cat</strong>, their looks, the sounds they make, and their movements are what will help us to interpret the way they communicate.<br />
  728. We recommend you to read one of our previous articles where you can <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/interpreting-the-dogs-body-language/">learn how you can interpret the language of a dog</a>.</p>
  729. <p>In the same way, interpreting the language of a <strong>cat</strong> is possible if we pay attention to the signals they emit.<br />
  730. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20742 aligncenter" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cat-body-language-my-social-petwork-300x278.jpg" alt="Can dogs and cats be friends?" width="300" height="278" /></p>
  731. <h2><strong>First contact between cats and dogs</strong></h2>
  732. <p>When a <strong>cat</strong>, or any other animal, enters the house with its owner, the animal already living at home will feel fear, jealousy, and confusion.<br />
  733. Therefore, the most logical thing is that he/she will not accept it and will try to show that he/she is more powerful than the newcomer.</p>
  734. <h2><strong>How dogs and cats can be friends?</strong></h2>
  735. <p>&#8211; For example, if it is a <strong>cat</strong> that comes home, lock the <strong>dog</strong> in a room where he is comfortable before the <strong>cat</strong> arrives.<br />
  736. &#8211; Immediately after, let the <strong>cat</strong> loose in the house and let it sniff every nook and cranny. He will pick up the scent of his future friend and will not be surprised to meet him later.<br />
  737. &#8211; After an hour, your canine companion will undoubtedly try to sniff the intruder, let him do so, but be alert: if he tries to attack, stop him, gently but firmly.<br />
  738. &#8211; If the situation becomes complicated and the <strong>dog</strong> refuses to accept the <strong>cat</strong>, you will have no choice but to get a wire run and confine the <strong>cat</strong> there for about three days so that the <strong>dog</strong> can gradually get used to your presence.<br />
  739. Felines need to show their affection through physical contact, and, if all goes well, within 30 days the <strong>cat</strong> will want to rub its body against the <strong>dog</strong>&#8216;s body.</p>
  740. <p><strong>Dogs</strong> will never accept anything they can&#8217;t sniff, and it is vitally important that the <strong>dog</strong> recognizes familiar smells in his friend.</p>
  741. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20744 aligncenter" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/can-cats-and-dogs-be-friends-my-social-petwork-3-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
  742. <h2>Follow these tips to help your dog and cat become friends</h2>
  743. <p>&#8211; Speak reassuring words if the animal becomes nervous.<br />
  744. &#8211; Separate them at the slightest sign of a fight, without resorting to violence.<br />
  745. &#8211; Recognize the rights of the animal already living in the house, without belittling the newcomer.<br />
  746. &#8211; Reward with food and petting all attempts at calm and friendly approaches.<br />
  747. &#8211; Do not scold either one in front of the other or show preference. Individual rewards should always be made without the other being present.</p>
  748. <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20745 aligncenter" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/can-cats-and-dogs-be-friends-my-social-petwork-4-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/can-cats-and-dogs-be-friends-my-social-petwork-4-300x213.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/can-cats-and-dogs-be-friends-my-social-petwork-4.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
  749. <h2><strong>Help your cat and dog become friends</strong></h2>
  750. <p>You should know that <strong>dogs</strong> and <strong>cats</strong> are more likely to become friends if they know each other from a young age because they will be able to grow up together and learn from each other.<br />
  751. When they are young, they are open to a friendship because territorial behaviors and traditional fear instincts have not yet had time to manifest themselves.</p>
  752. <p>You need to make the situation as stress-free as possible for both of you.<br />
  753. First, make sure your <strong>cat</strong> is in a wide area to move around, this will allow him not to be intercepted by the <strong>dog</strong>.<br />
  754. Second, make sure your <strong>dog</strong> gets plenty of exercises as a restless, energetic <strong>dog</strong> could chase and annoy the cat.</p>
  755. <p>Exercise your <strong>dog</strong> frequently and play a lot with him, especially during the initiation process.<br />
  756. Remember that a friendship between <strong>dogs</strong> and <strong>cats</strong> will not happen overnight.<br />
  757. It&#8217;s all about making the right first impressions and giving them enough time to adjust.</p>

  782. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a person goes through a grieving process, there are many feelings involved that can make them feel lost, lonely, and depressed. Dogs can sense the sadness in their &#8220;person&#8221; and will try to make their owner feel better by cuddling with them. For this reason, having a pet, especially a dog, can help a person overcome the grief process more quickly.<br />
  783. In today&#8217;s post, we will tell you why dogs can help in the grieving process, helping a person to find comfort in the shortest possible time.</p>
  784. <h2><strong>Lessons that dogs teach us in a grieving process</strong></h2>
  785. <p>Dogs teach us that the cycle of life is very short and that is why we must take advantage of every moment. Dogs live fewer years than we do, making it possible, especially for children, to normalize death and the grieving process.<br />
  786. They also help us to identify emotions and give us unconditional love, they teach us that silence, respect and companionship are necessary to express grief and overcome it quickly.<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-20736 aligncenter" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/man-holding-dog-300x225.jpg" alt="Dogs can help with the grief process" width="409" height="307" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/man-holding-dog-300x225.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/man-holding-dog-768x575.jpg 768w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/man-holding-dog.jpg 879w" sizes="(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px" /></p>
  787. <h2><strong>Why can a dog help in the grief process?</strong></h2>
  788. <p>There are many <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/interpreting-the-dogs-body-language/">ways to interpret the language of dogs</a>. A dog can support a person during <strong>the grief process</strong> in different ways. <strong>Some of the behaviors that a dog manifests as a sign of support can be:</strong></p>
  789. <ul>
  790. <li>&#8211; Eye contact that provides love and security.</li>
  791. <li>&#8211; Physical contact allows us to experience a sense of calm, helping to reduce anxiety during these difficult moments.</li>
  792. </ul>
  793. <p>When a dog looks at us in the eyes, our body releases oxytocin which is known as the love hormone, which causes feelings of satisfaction, calm, and security.<br />
  794. On the other hand, when a person has the responsibility of taking care of an animal, in this case, a dog, he/she puts the attention outside and occupies the mind in other activities that will allow him/her to feel useful and calm.<br />
  795. It has been shown that a dog&#8217;s spontaneity and joy can be very beneficial in a grieving process because it makes a person feel alive and loved.</p>
  796. <h2><strong>Dogs can sense when someone is sad</strong></h2>
  797. <p><a href="https://iheartdogs.com/are-dogs-psychic-5-things-dogs-sense-before-they-happen">Dogs are very intuitive animals </a>and can sense people&#8217;s energies, for example, they can recognize when someone is sad or happy. When a <strong>dog</strong> senses that someone is sad, it lowers its ears, lies down next to you, and stares at you. If they see a person crying, they slowly approach with their tail tucked in and stay quietly by your side, in silence.</p>
  798. <h2><strong>Dogs also suffer when they lose their owner</strong></h2>
  799. <p>It is very important to know that not only do people suffer in the mourning process, but <strong>dogs</strong> also do too. That is why we must be able to provide the <strong>dog</strong> with the necessary company and attention so that he can feel safe and calm.</p>
  800. <h3><strong>How to identify that a dog is sad?</strong></h3>
  801. <figure id="attachment_20725" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20725" style="width: 451px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-20725" src="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sad-sleeping-dogs-300x200.jpg" alt="Dogs can help with the grief process" width="461" height="307" srcset="https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sad-sleeping-dogs-300x200.jpg 300w, https://mysocialpetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sad-sleeping-dogs.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-20725" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Bryce Carithers from Pexels</figcaption></figure>
  802. <p>1. It loses its appetite, stops eating.</p>
  803. <p>2. He sleeps excessively more than 12 to 14 hours, which is the normal time a dog should sleep.</p>
  804. <p>3. Loss of interest in his daily routines and his environment.</p>
  805. <p>4. Howls or whines often for no reason.</p>
  806. <p>5. Shuffling movements.</p>
  807. <p>6. Urine leakage and fecal incontinence when sleeping.</p>
  808. <p>7. Compulsive behaviors.</p>
  809. <h2><strong>Ideas to take advantage of a dog&#8217;s company in a grief process</strong></h2>
  810. <p>The company of a dog comforts and makes us feel calm, that is why it is important to take advantage of every moment with our <strong>dog</strong> if we are <strong>going through a</strong> <strong>grieving process. </strong>A wonderful idea to overcome a grief process in the shortest time possible is to go for a walk with our dog, to a camping day. We invite you to <a href="https://mysocialpetwork.com/guide-for-camping-with-dog/">read one of our previous articles where we offer you a complete guide so you can enjoy a camping day with your dog</a>.</p>
  811. <p>It is important to remember that grief is a complex emotional state and the disposition that a person must change their state of mind and recover their physical, mental, and emotional health will determine how long this process will take.<br />
  812. The grieving process will be less painful if you have the company of friends, family, and your beloved dog.<br />
