Labrador Retriever Dogs Blog

I don't know what it is about hats but my Cooper loves them for some reason. I can barely keep a cap in the house without him getting into them. He never really destroys them but he certainly associates a ball hat or cap with goofy playtime. I can wear it on my head and it doesn't bother him but as soon as I take it off and have it my hands he thinks its go time. There must have been something happen when he was a puppy although I can't think of anything off hand. It's funny how they will associate something like a hat in my hands with playtime.

I was actualy out the other day doing some shopping. I was looking at replacing my current watch and was looking over some Nautica watches. We then went to a dog store to pick something up for Cooper. We still have Gary the Gator that I blogged about earlier but we thought he could use something new. After looking around the pet food store for a bit we couldn't decided on what other type of dog toy to get him. There were lots of choices and lots of different prices but you never know what is going to hold up. That's when I thought about the blog. Somebody out there has to have a recomendation for a new toy for an agressive chewing labrador retriever. If you do please let me know.

Some of you may not be aware but dog breeds like labrador retriever puppies can develop what is called canine acne. Canine acne usually breaks out on their chin, lips, and muzzle. It can also be associated with scabs and blackheads on their lips, chin and muzzle. While not usually harmful it can become infected which leads to many other problems.

There are several treatments for canine acne which are similiar to human treatments for acne. A trip to the vet would be your best bet and get the proper diagnosis as sometimes it could be mistaken for food allergies. A few people on the chat forums have remarked that they changed their labrador retrievers bowls from plastic to steel. Their dogs were allergic to the plastic. At any rate, if you dogs snout looks to be infected then get to a vet.
