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.

credit to owner :)

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.

Suzuki’s Helpful Tips on Cleaning Motorcycles Submerged in Flood

Due to frequent rain showers and typhoons, most of the motorcycles were submerged in flood.  Good thing that Suzuki has this helpful tips on how to clean their motorcycle submerged in flood.

To ensure the good running condition of your motorcycle, have your unit checked and serviced by an accredited mechanic from your dealership.

Suzuki mechanics are ready to assist you with your submerged motorcycle units with these helpful tips:

• With the ignition switch turned “off”, remove spark plug and kick-start to remove water inside combustion chamber.

• Then, clean the Suzuki Motorcycle Unit with clear running water (pressurized water spray recommended). If seawater flood, immediately wash and lubricate with anti-rust.  

• Drain the oil by removing drain plug and engine oil cap.

• Apply compressed air into oil filler hole to push out remaining oil and water inside crankcase.  Replace oil and oil filter with Suzuki Genuine Oil and Suzuki Genuine Oil Filter.

• Clean and dry wiring harness and check all connectors for possible dirt/mud residue. Inspect all electrical parts (CDI, IGNITION COIL, IGNITION SWITCH, ALL RELAY, ALL BULB AND SOCKET, SPEEDOMETER PANEL ASSEMBLY, AND BATTERY).

• Remove the air box and carburetor assembly. Clean air box assembly and replace with new air filter. Have the carburetor assembly over-hauled and make sure to clean all jets, air passage and gasoline passage.

• Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank and check if contaminated with water.

• Clean and lubricate throttle grip, throttle cable, clutch cable, brake cables and starter cable. Clean also the front and rear brake system and re-grease all wheel bearing. Remove and hang muffler to dry.

• Remember, pressurized washing might take out the existing grease in most parts; see to it that new grease will be applied in the steering stem and other parts that require it.

Some of the items above, you can do yourself, but for the most part, the experts are on hand to serve your needs and get you back on the road. Please have your Suzuki unit checked and serviced by an accredited Suzuki mechanic from any Suzuki 3s shop or Suzuki Moto Center nearest you. 

For complete listing, please visit www.suzuki.com.phor call Suzuki Customer Care Hotline at 902-1001

Keep in mind to properly dispose of used oil, fuel, and filter. Those floods serve to remind us of the urgent need to save our environment.

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 :(

Avea Naturals Papaya Whitening Soap

Out of curiosity, I tried this Avea Papaya Soap since I already have it at home. It is mild scented unlike other papaya soap and promised the user to have soft, clear and fair skin. It is made with highest quality papaya extract and coconut oil and is cold-processed to preserve their natural healing and skin-whitening properties. It contains no synthetic chemicals or animal fats that usually clog the pores and irritate the skin.  In fact, it is gently enough to use as a daily facial soap and it won't dry your skin.

 For softer, clearer and fairer skin, use Avea Naturals Papaya everyday.
