 Are You Ready to Have a Puppy?

This is the question that haunted me when my aunt told me that her friend will hand her a puppy. Am I ready to have one? If it will happen, it would be the first time that I will have a pet. I know that having puppy, you have to train, and buy things for her. You will purchase items that will let your pet look good. You will also need food supplies that even much higher than our food, daily check-up with the veterinary and grooming days with pet shops. These are just few things we have to consider before having a puppy or a pet. Therefore, having a pet is a bit costly. I passed by a pet store yesterday just to survey a few things that I need for my new pet. So, when I asked the saleslady, I was little bit amazed with the prizes. They are more expensive than of my things. So I went out from the pet shop and I thought of things that can save me from buying those things. 

Following  are  some of the tips to keep you from spending a lot.

You need to keep your pet healthy. Be aware of the likes and dislikes of your pet. An alternative way of not spending much on dog foods, you may have homemade foods. Make sure you consult your veterinarian. Don’t risk the health of your pet.

 To make your pet feel comfortable it needs also a dog bed. Dog beds are almost more expensive than dog foods. If you are creative enough you can make your own dog bed. You can recycle things from you home just like old pillows and clothing. Sew them to together and make a dog bed.   

 For your pet’s toys, you can give them a toy which looks like a Kong chew toy. Your dog need a chew toy for it helps in developing and maintaining jaw muscles and gums and teeth. But remember in choosing your chew toy you need to consider the needs, size and preferences.

It just need a little sewing for the rounded  opening of the bag for your pet’s head.You can embellished the style you want.

Difference Between Wolf and Dog

It comes to know through enormous worldwide Zoological study and Animal Sciences research, although wolves and doges contain similarities in some aspects, but one came across more variations between the two. Wolf is basically categorized only as a wild animal as compared to the dog which is well known house Pet, for the reason that dog was domesticated so they would not act like wolf. Wolves being wild animals are not suited to live with people or to make a close relation like dogs. Unlike wolves, dogs have demonstrated themselves as a good companion and good Pet in various parts of the world.

According to Biological classifications, Zoologist and Taxonomist include the wolves in family “Canis Lupus” whereas dogs are placed in family “Canis familiaris” of Kingdom Animalia. In addition, there is a one of the most visible difference amongst both is a variation in physical appearance and structure. The wolf occupies a large body dissimilar to dog that is smaller in size than wolf. Muzzle of the wolf is also founded to be longer as compared to most of dogs.

When it comes to compare their legs, the wolf comes with longer legs, larger feet and a wider cranium than the dog. Wolves are well recognized hunter but a dog lacks this specialty because of its domestication. Wolves are much physically powerful than dogs. Despite the fact that wolves and dogs have the equivalent number of teeth, the differentiation is definite. The teeth of wolves are adapted for hunt. Unlike the dogs, the wolves dwell in stronger molars, which help it to crush largest bones. Wolves include specific teeth used for holding onto their prey. Dogs can feed on dog food/kibble while wolves are carnivores and they need raw meat to eat, yet they can take a large amount of meat at a time, because they know it can be possible that they have nothing to eat for several days. Wolf has the capability to crush largest bones and also to digest but the dogs don’t have.

Wolf is considered to be cleverer than the dog and wolves are more conscious of their surroundings than the dogs. Dog barks while a wolf only howl , however dogs easily learns to howl and wolf can only make a sharp muffled sounding bark but wolves rarely do this and mainly keep doing howling.

Another difference that can demonstrate in societal behavior of both these is that wolves have strong nature. They always love to be in crowd, even if it is a group of two or more wolves. But dogs do not used to live in grouping manner and they time and again are seen combating one another. When we come forward to discussing match up to their sexual characters, the female dogs come into “heating period” twice a year while female wolves get into “season” only once a year. It has been noticed that only the alpha female wolf or head female wolf is permitted reproduction in wolf habitation. Some major differences can also be seen in skeletal structures of the two, as wolf has longer legs with large feet and wider skull and narrow chest while a number of the dog’s species don’t possess this type of skeleton. Wolf has an edge of running and moving fast with the help of their particular skeletal structure. During trotting wolf’s back legs move backward and forward in the same line like its front legs, on the other hand dog places its back legs between its front legs during walking or running hence making the slow motion of dog as compared to faster wolf.

Summary:

Having come to know through above stated reliable biological factual position, following key differentiation can be illustrated between a wolf and a dog.

■ Dog is basically a domestic pet and Wolf is only a wild animal.
■ Wolf and Dogs belongs to different families in Kingdom Animalia.
■ Intellect level of Wolf is higher than Dog.
