Hi guys! Pregnancy in dogs can be difficullt to detect. A responsible pet owner will want to know the signs and symptoms of pregnancy to ensure proper health care. The most easy and accurate way to know if your dog is pregnant is to take a trip to the veterinarian. A blood test or an X-ray will give you your answer. But if a female dog is not spayed, and you suspect that she may be pregnant, there are some symptoms that you can look for on your own.
Instructions:
1. Pay close attention to your dog's eating habits. If she has a decreased appetite or isn't showing much interest in her favorite chow, this could be a sign of morning sckness.
2. Check for any vaginal discharge, a common sign of pregnancy.
3. Check if your dog has enlarged teats. A female dog's nipples will become engorded in preparation for nursin her pups.
4. Look for behavioral changes in your dog. I f she is usually active and seems tired all the time, she may be pregnant.
5. Look at your dog's stomachnto see if it appears anlarged. This symptom appears midway through the pregnancy, you may be able to gently feel the puppies as well.
6. Look for signs of "nesting", your dog's way ready for the birth and aftercare of the puppies. She ay scratch the floor or the blankets as to fluff them.
Tips & Warnings:
Seek medical attention fro a veterinarian as early as possible in pregnancy. Your vet can give you the best advice

How To Choose A Dog
Hey guys! I already told you how to choose a hamster, now I will tell you how to choose your dog!
1. You need to consider your space.
A big dog needs more space than a little dog. If you live in a big house or apartment, you can have either a small dog or a big dog. But, if you live in a small place, you could consider having a small dog, or just buying a hamster or fish.
2. Investigate.
If you have kids, you shouldn't buy a Doberman, investigate about dog breeds. Some breeds are friendlier than others.
3. Shelter or Shop?
Consider buying your dog from a shelter, it would be very happy to have a stable home. Dogs from a shelter can be a good option, but remember, ask for information about it. If you have kids you probably wouldn't like to buy a dog that was once used for fights.
4.Go!
When you bring your pet home, be sure to have everything ready. Enjoy your new family member!

How To Choose A Hamster
Hello everyone! Are you planning to get a hamster? This tips should help you with that!
1. Test the friendliness.
Stick your hand in the cage and hold it still. If the hamster tries to bite you, realize that they are probably afraid. Also remember that hamsters have bad eyesight and may think your finger is food. If you find a hamster that immediately shows affection, you are lucky; but don't count on it.
2. Check the conditions they live in.
Are other hamsters diseased? If they are, don't buy a hamster from that cage or from that place. Your hamster could also have a disease. Are cages clean? Do the hamsters have food and water? Sometimes the workers don't really notice the disorder the cages may be in, kindly make a suggestion. Are males and females together?(Make sure they are not, if you buy a female it could be pregnat)
3. Look at the hamsters behavior.
If you are shopping at night, the hasmters ought to be active and nice. They should be alert and should be picking up noises. Check if the hamster fight with others, is he nice to the other hamsters?
4. Ask the employees for information of that hamster.
How often are these little beings held? How often do people pay attention to them? Is the one you have chosen nice? Does it react well to strangers? Does it like people? What are its favorite things and foods? Ask them as many questions you want so you can really be sure this is the perfect hamster.
5. Look around the whole place.
Is it run down or well kept? Do they care for the other animals? Sick animals could easily mean sick hamsters. Are all the animals cheerful, friendly, and healthy? The healthier the other animals are, the more likely your hamster is healthy.
6. Make sure there are no diseases or problems with the hamster.
Is it coughing or sneezing? Does it have all its fur? Are there any lumps on its body? What gender is it? Now bring your perfect hamster home!!!
