    <title>Jun 15, Snail Bait Poisonous to Dogs</title>
    <link>http://www.best-dog-treat-recipes.com/dog-treat-recipes-blog.html#Snail-Bait-Poisonous-to-Dogs</link>
    <description>Snail bait, with its toxic ingredient, &lt;b&gt;metaldehyde&lt;/b&gt;, is highly toxic to dogs.  The bait comes in little pellets, which resemble dog food.  And it is flavored, making it even more appealing to our furry friends!

Commonly used in gardens to deter the activity of snails, it is sometimes used less innocently to rid the neighborhood of roaming animals.

At any rate, if you suspect that your dog has eaten &lt;b&gt;even a small amount of snail bait&lt;/b&gt; (less than a teaspoon is toxic to a 10 pound dog), it is an emergency.  Your dog should see a veterinarian ASAP.</description>

    <title>Jun 4, Dog Flu Kills 6 Dogs in Philadelphia</title>
    <link>http://www.best-dog-treat-recipes.com/dog-flu.html</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Dog flu&lt;/b&gt;, normally a fairly mild disease in canines, has shown up in Philadelphia in a &lt;b&gt;more severe and deadly form&lt;/b&gt;.  Six dogs, in two dog shelters have died, and four were euthanized.

Both dog shelters have been closed and quarantined, for an indefinite amount of time.  Spokesmen for the shelters are concerned because dog flu is easily spread from dog to dog by close contact or even by toys or objects that a sick dog has touched.

The &lt;b&gt;symptoms&lt;/b&gt; most commonly seen are a &lt;b&gt;cough&lt;/b&gt; (hacking cough) and a really &lt;b&gt;runny nose and eyes&lt;/b&gt;.  Dog flu is often confused with kennel cough because of the cough.  If your dog has dog flu, he may also have a &lt;b&gt;fever&lt;/b&gt;.

Dog flu has no relationship to swine flu or bird flu.  If your dog develops the above symptoms (especially quickly), make sure you take her to the veterinarian.</description>

    <title>Jun 4, New Drug Approved for Cancer in Dogs</title>
    <link>http://www.best-dog-treat-recipes.com/dog-treat-recipes-blog.html#New-Drug-Approved-for-Cancer-in-Dogs</link>
    <description>With &lt;b&gt;cancer in dogs&lt;/b&gt; on the increase, it is refreshing to know that the first drug, specifically for the treatment of dog cancer was just introduced to the market.  

Yesterday, the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approved the drug Palladia (toceranib phosphate).  &lt;b&gt;Palladia&lt;/b&gt; has proven to shrink cutaneous mast cell tumors, responsible for 20 of skin tumors seen in dogs.  Skin cancers are the most common cancers seen in dogs with cancer.  Mast-cell tumors are the second most common form of cancer in dogs.

Until now, veterinarians have been using chemotherapy designed for humans, because there were no drugs manufactured specifically for dogs.  The new drug, Palladia, is very promising, as 60 of the dogs treated in trials had their tumors shrink.

Earlier this month, &lt;b&gt;George Fennell&lt;/b&gt;, VP of Pfizer Animal Health&#39;s Companion Animal Division, spoke to veterinarians at the &lt;b&gt;American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Forum&lt;/b&gt;.  He told the vets that Palladia will be available sometime early in 2010.  

However, if your dog has this type of cancer, your vet may be able to refer him to a specialist who has access to Palladia, now.</description>
