Keep the people of Bacoor safe from stray animals with rabies, and provide protection for maltreated animals.

It also serves as a temporary shelter for dogs, cats and other animals rescued from cruelty, abandonment or neglect.

Foods that are good to Humans but not to our Dogs

We consider our dogs as our best friend, but that doesn't make them human. Many of us dog owners make the mistake of thinking that a healthy diet for us is also a healthy diet for our pet. Although a few table scraps every once in a while won't hurt, there are a few things that should be treated with caution.

Why Dog Vomit, its Causes and Solutions

Anyone who has had a dog has heard that dreaded noise – the sound of a vomiting dog. Due to my dog's vomiting two days ago, I researched for its reason and some solutions.  And here's what I found.

Vomiting in dog is normal and generally is nature's way of ridding the body of an unwanted food or foreign objects the dog may have ingested.  Dogs can vomit yellow bile, food, clear and/or foamy liquid, blood and grass or a combination of the above. Periodic vomiting is not a reason for concern as long as the dog has a healthy appetite, maintaining an ideal weight and their energy levels are normal.  While vomiting occasionally may not be an indication of a serious illness, any occurrence of repeated vomiting, especially if accompanied by lethargy, diarrhea or other behavioral changes, should receive prompt medical attention.

There are three stages in the vomiting process: nausea, retching and the final vomiting. The main concern for the health of a vomiting dog are dehydration causing an imbalance in electrolyte levels, a disparity in the balance of acid to base levels in the body and aspirated pneumonia.

My Dog Vomits, is he sick?

When we got home last night, I saw my dog's vomit on the floor, it is foamy white in color.  I panicked, though that was not the first time my dog vomits but because I noticed him really unwell.  Unlike his previous vomits, he's still playful and alert.  But last night, his ears dropped and according to his nanny (naks) he did not eat his dinner.  One more thing that is strange to him, he did not welcome us home :(
