Congenital Heart Disease in Dogs: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments, and Prevention
Congenital heart disease refers to heart defects that are congenital, or present from birth. Although fewer than 1% of dogs are affected by congenital heart disease, congenital heart defects can lead to irreversible heart damage and heart failure if not diagnosed and treated successfully. With this in mind, it is is important for all dog owners, new and experienced, to be aware of congenital heart defects and their symptoms.
What congenital heart defects are most common, and what are their symptoms? What dog breeds are most at risk of congenital heart defects, and how might they affect life expectancy? Can dogs with congenital heart defects be successfully treated, and how much does treatment cost? Is there any way to prevent these heart defects in dogs?
Here is everything you need to know about the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart disease in dogs.
How to Potty Train A Puppy
When Mike and I (Steph) brought Django home, we instantly fell in love with him. He was adventurous, playful, mischievous, and absolutely adorable. Like most dachshunds, he was also notoriously hard to housebreak. Django had a ton of accidents throughout our Brooklyn apartment up until he was 7-8 months old.
Potty training your puppy can be a daunting task if you have never done it before. That is why we sat down with Steffi Trott, the founder of SpiritDog Training in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, for potty training tips. In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we also share some of our favorite potty training products that we used with Django and link to other current best sellers and customer favorites.
Nom Nom Dog Food Review | Our Experience with the Fresh Dog Food Subscription Service
In 2019, Mike and I (Steph) came across Nom Nom fresh dog food. Now, it is a regular part of our dachshund Django's diet. It's impossible to resist feeding Django Nom Nom when he literally does a little dance every time we open a Nom Nom sleeve and pour it into his dinner bowl.
Do we only feed Django Nom Nom? Nope. We like to feed Django a variety of high quality dog foods—Nom Nom being one of them. Django's most common meal is a mix of high-quality dry dog food with nutrition-dense, freshly made dog food (aka Nom Nom).
In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we provide an honest review and comprehensive overview of Nom Nom. We include pricing estimates for various breeds and a 50% off Nom Nom promo code for your first order. All opinions are our own and based on our own personal experience feeding our sausage dog Django.
How To Socialize Your Puppy at Home During Covid
Puppies need to be socialized between 3 and 16 weeks old. Socialization is not the same thing as exposure. Simply introducing your pup to new people, animals, objects, and places does not mean he will feel safe around them in the future.
Whether you are social distancing because of COVID-19 or prefer staying at home, you can introduce your dog to people, animals, objects, sounds, smells, and surfaces. We teamed up with Empire of the Dog's founder, Denise Harmon, to come up with more than 100 ways to socialize your puppy at home.
