What is this petition about?

The legislation is based mainly on how a dog looks and not on its behaviour, we are campaigning for the index (Closed in 1990) to be re opened so that owners of dogs who may be deemed type can register  ...</description>

			<description>What you feed your dog is a very important part of pet care. Proper nutrition is essential to keep your dog healthy and to ward off and manage diseases. Commercial pet foods vary in their nutritional values. Remember, more expensive does not always mean the food is of a higher quality. 



Read the label - pet food ingredients are listed in much the same way as human foods, showing percentages of each ingredient. It is the proportion of all nutrients and ingredients (including water) that determines  ...</description>

			<description>Neutering - Spaying and Castration 

In female dogs, spaying will of course stop unwanted pregnancies but is also carried out for a number of other reasons such as cases where phantom pregnancies are a problem for the bitch. Intact bitches also seem to be at increased risk of cancers and infections. An intact bitch who is not mated has been shown to carry an increased risk of pyometra (uterine infection) with each season she experiences. Other research has looked at reported increased risks  ...</description>

			<description>Your puppy may have been using paper to toilet on while in the nest and then put outside when he wakes, after he has just eaten or been playing for a while. Once you have brought him home you will need to continue his training. Remember he is now in a new house and will have to learn where your back door is! 



Follow the same pattern of taking puppy outside after waking, eating, playing or if he just hasn't been outside for an hour or so. If he stops what he’s doing or sniffs the ground,  ...</description>

			<description>Indoors 





Know which plants are toxic and place them out of reach, or replace them with non-toxic plants. Toxic plants commonly found indoors include dieffenbachia, azalea, Calla lily, and philodendron. 





Keep all medications, including any dog supplements, in a safe area the puppy cannot access. Do not leave vitamins or other pills out on the kitchen worktop or table. A determined chewer can make short work of a plastic container. Puppies are surprisingly quick at pulling things  ...</description>

			<description>Step 1: Introducing Your Dog to the Crate 



Place the crate in an area of your house where the family spends a lot of time, such as the family room. Put a soft blanket or towel in the crate. Bring your dog over to the crate and talk to him in a happy tone of voice. Make sure the crate door is open and secured so that it won't hit your dog and frighten him. 

To encourage your dog to enter the crate, drop some small food treats nearby, then just inside the door, and finally, all the way inside  ...</description>

			<description>Where do pets come from? 

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to &quot;Where do pets come from?&quot; 

Adam and Eve said, &quot;Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.&quot; 

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love  ...</description>
