Lots of wheat gluten and other proteins are routinely added to dog food. Wheat free dog food is less common, because the majority of large-scale pet food manufacturers do not cater enough to the health needs of pets, especially those puppies or adult canines that might be allergic to wheat.
But just as humans are often allergic to wheat, the same is true for dogs. So these days many pet food companies are beginning to recognize the need for more dietary restrictions, as they respond to consumer demand for products such as wheat free dog food. If you shop carefully - especially in better pet stores or in places like health food grocery stores that have a pet food aisle - you can find plenty of wheat free food for you dog. And if you are not near a store that has that kind of product - which is the situation for many people who live in small towns or rural communities - then you can even order dog food that doesn't contain wheat over the Internet. The delivery truck or post office will bring it right to your doorstep.
The most alarming cases of pet food problems are, of course, those that upset pet owners across the USA last year when it was discovered that dogs were dying from tainted pet food imported from China. These toxic foods were contaminated with melamine, a chemical sometimes used in industrial products as a binder or thickening agent. The melamine-tainted food is banned, and hopefully it will never return. But pet owners who are still concerned that imported dog food might once again slip through inspections and harm their dogs can buy brands that stick to a higher standard. Many companies now offer organic dog food, wheat free dog food, and gluten-free dog food, plus specially blended foods that are rich in nutrients and vitamins that growing puppies and older dogs both need.
Keep your dog safe and healthy by shopping for dog food that is made to the highest possible health standards. To find out what brands are the top rated and offer the most nutrition per meal, just ask your local vet for some brand name recommendations. You can be sure that whatever he or she feeds his or her own pets is a good choice for you and your furry friend.
Do you ever feel the need to protect your dog? Is your beloved dog a menace to its surrounding area or a hazard to itself? If this is the case, it is often recommended that an owner will protect their pesky pet by giving them a garden boundary. There are many methods; wooden fencing, pens and cages, but one of the more controversial and frowned upon methods is electric fencing.
Electric fencing is quite simply a method of containing your dog in a specific and predetermined area by giving them a shock which is intended to surprise them, rather than hurt them. It is set by the owner and is invariably used to hold the dog in its boundaries. There are several methods of doing so.
One of the most popular methods is an electric wire fence. A conductor is used to earth the wire and give it a current, this will give your mischievous dog the small, sharp shock it may need to remain within its allotted area and behave itself. The wire can be easily placed to suit the dog's needs and can convince even the most Houdini of hounds to rethink their bid for freedom. However, if your dog is a thinker, then it may discover a method around its confines. It can discover that by jumping, it doesn't get a shock if the wires it touches are live and he's not on the ground. To solve this, another strand of conductor is run along the fence at the nose-height of the animal and is attached to the earth stake only and not to any of the other lines. When the dog jumps through, even though it is completely off the ground, it will earth out the current by touching the earth wire and a live wire and will therefore receive a shock.
Another method is by getting an electric net fence. It provides a wall around the dog to stop its willful escape attempts, and is not only a stimulus deterrent, but a visual one as well. However, one of the main concerns with this method is how easily the current can seep from the net and into the surrounding area, predominantly attacking nearby vegetation. If this occurs, the main concern is the lack of current running through the net which will invariably result in a much less 'shocking' affect on the dog. Due to this it is quite common for the dogs to bolster enough courage to burst through the net or dig under it. The result can end with your cheeky canine gallivanting around the near vicinity and endangering themselves and others.
To truly treat your pet with the respect and love it deserves, boundaries and strict training needs to occur to ensure they lead a happy and healthy lifestyle. While restrictions are always a sensible idea, it is not requisite to cage in your pet. By using efficient training methods and firm yet gentle guidance, your dog can be trained to respect its masters wants and guidance and will allow man and beast to live to the age old adage of being 'best friends'.
For any further recommendations on safe and efficient methods of restricting your dogs access to unwanted areas, it would be best to seek advice from your veterinary surgeon as the best methods for your dog.

A word of caution here; don't install an underground dog fence in your front yard. I have seen many homes that have installed these underground fences in their front yards. This is an amazing advancement in barrier construction and design, but it has no place being in your front yard. I like to take walks at night and have come across many homes that have viscous looking dogs standing in their yard. As with any dog, they snarl, bark, and growl every time I walk by the home. Some even like to sprint towards me as if they were ready to take a bite out of my a_ _.
As a property owner or renter, or whatever, it is your responsibility to maintain a safe premise. If I were to step into your front yard not knowing that a vicious dog was there, within this underground fence, and get bitten by the dog, I could sue. Most of these homes that do have their pet dogs fenced in the front of their yard do not have any warning that there is a potential risk of a pet.
If your pet must be in the front yard, perhaps a posted sign acknowledging that a dog is fenced in would help to reduce your liability. Always keep in mind that you must do your best as a home owner or renter to ensure that your property is safe in the event that someone steps onto your property. An ounce of prevention goes a long way in protecting yourself from a lawsuit.

Many people would say that if you get a dog they should be part of the family and live inside. I wholeheartedly agree. But sometimes that is just not possible. If you find yourself in this predicament what can you do?
A good resource for finding pet friendly rental properties can be found through the U.S.Humane Society.
Buying an enclosure is one option
Now days they come in all sizes. You could also build one using cyclone fence. If you choose this option I would recommend putting it on a slab of cement. Not only does this keep the enclosure floor dry it also prevents them from digging underneath. I also recommend a roof. This protects your dog from the elements and also keeps them from jumping over. If you have bought an enclosure they usually come with a top. You can create a cover with wood, plastic or whatever works for you. This will also help protect them from the sun. I recommend using wood because they can not pull this through the fence and chew it up. Having a lock on the enclosure is a must because most dogs will learn how to open the latch by watching you.
After you have your enclosure all set up and ready for your dog it's time for decorating. For large dogs I recommend a bucket of water placed inside an old tire. This also works for a food bowl. If the water bucket is kept filled at all times it usually will not get tipped over. Other things that you may want to put in the enclosure include: dog house, dog bed and toys. The one thing to remember is that most dogs will chew when they are bored. If you don't want it chewed I would not put it in the enclosure. But they should have something to entertain themselves with like tennis balls, kong toys or something designed to be chewed. Being locked up does create stress for most dogs and if you do not have something in there for them to play with or chew they sometimes start chewing themselves.
Another thing to consider with this option is placement of the enclosure. If you live in a wind prone area you may want to consider putting the enclosure on the side of the house where the wind is usually blocked. If you live where it snows you may want to put it far enough away from the house so the snow from the roof does not fall on it. Wherever you place it make sure that there is some area of the enclosure that is shaded from the sun at all times. Even though the enclosure has a roof or cover there may be no shade in the early morning or, late afternoon when the temperature is usually the hottest. Attaching wood, in a small area, to the east and west sides is a solution and along with the top will provide shade at all times. Just make sure that the shaded area is large enough for your dog or dogs. As long as your dog has shade, water, food and shelter they should be fine outside. But use common sense. If you have a greyhound and you move to Alaska, your dog should live inside or in a heated environment. If you have a Malamute and live in the Mojave desert, you have a real challenge keeping your dog from over heating outside. And remember, no dog should be locked in an enclosure, given water and food but no attention and no freedom. If you find yourself saying, "He's a great dog, I just can't seem to find time for him with my job" then perhaps it is time to find a new home for him or create time.
Invisible Fence
Invisible fence is a another tool. Your dog has the freedom to roam and play inside the designated area. Most collars emit a warning sound when the dog gets too close to the perimeter. Through proper training it can be very effective. The cons to this are that anyone can go into your yard and take your pet. Other dogs also have the freedom to come into your yard. If you have a dog that is jumping over your fence or going under your fence this might be a way to prevent that, using both a conventional fence and an invisible fence. It's important to know that you shouldn't just put up an invisible fence and let your dog loose while you go shopping or to work. Without proper training you may end up with a dog that thinks he should just run "really fast" while being zapped by the fence.
If your dog is older with a heart condition I would do my research about a product, especially if he is a small breed. And I have seen highly motivated dogs, motivated by cats, who have just run right through the perimeter fence (very fast). This is another thing to consider.
Doggie Doors
This is a great option if you can let your dog stay in the garage with a doggie door to the outside. Being able to go in the garage is nice for an outdoor dog because of the protection from the elements. You just have to make sure that your dog can not escape your property. Doggie doors give your dog options and a little more freedom. They can choose if they want to go bask in the sun or lay on the cool concrete floor. You can purchase dog doors at most pet retail stores.
Run Lines and Tethers
Personally I believe that putting a dog on a run line is an accident waiting to happen. Especially if you have more than one dog on separate lines. Dogs can jump over fences, dog houses and things you wouldn't even think about and get hurt or worse. Chaining a dog to something is another accident waiting to happen. Enough said.
You should take into consideration that all dogs are different in size, tolerance, and intellect. Some large dogs can stay behind a two foot fence and never try to escape. Some small dogs can stay behind a six foot fence and figure out a way over the top. If you have your dog spayed or neutered they have less desire to go roaming. If you make the time at the house more fun than running amok away from the house your dog is more likely to stick around.
If you leave your dog unattended they should not be wearing a choke collar.
They can get caught inside a kennel, outside on a tree or stuck to a water sprinkler. Even if you think your property is safe, they can find something to get stuck on and possibly choke.
