I salute all the volunteers of all the local animal shelters in the Philippines because even if they are not paid and does not have any benefits to do this job, unlike in the US specifically in North Carolina the volunteers are given a health and life insurance from the leading health and life insurance company of Blue Cross Blue Shield NC, but still the local volunteers are all willing to help the animals specially the dogs.

Are you in favor of your dogs getting micro chipped? Well honestly I do not get its used because some of my friends had it on their dog and they said that it is not like a cell phone spy or a person tracker you used on your cell phone to check or track their whereabouts that acts like gps but the micro chipped for dogs are not working properly in the Philippines, they cannot track their dogs. Plus the fact that it is very expensive to have your dog micro chipped and still they did not find any good use for it. So I hope to get more information regarding the benefit of micro chipping them and I hope that the very purpose of doing that will be used.

Did you know that the wrinkled dogs are more prone to Demodectic mange due to its skin under its wrinkles that are often bypass whenever you bathe them. So if you own one please see to it that you wash everything including their ears and eyelids but of course do not irritate the eye. Skin infections or pyodermas are so difficult to control in the folds of the wrinkled dogs that are due to fleas, scratching and bites.

We know that dogs are cute and we all actually wants to own one. That is why some of the breeders tend to breed more because of the demand and we call this type of breeder as puppy millers. They breed dogs without in their minds on improving the breed but rather only on how much they will earn out of it and that is bad!

I am just amazed on some ads of the dog breeders, why? because some of them posted a lot of their breeds of different ages. Maybe those breeders really entrusted their daily earnings with their dog, thats sad, we the owners are supposed to be the one spending for them right? it is not bad to breed but please breed for the right reasons such as improving its generation and not just by propagating the breed without any planning.
