Pure Love For Animals
Chief is a Chow Chow. But his dark grey speckled coat makes him look exactly like an Oreo McFlurry. He looks so much like the beloved ice cream that his owner, Sarah Hamilton, nicknamed him Oreo Cloud. While Chow Chows are a guardian breed, meaning that they can be aloof with people they don’t know and aggressive when interacting with other dogs, you can’t help but squeal at Chief’s cute face and his adorable fluff.
This cookies ‘n’ cream pupper got famous when Sarah posted his photos on a wonderful Facebook group named Dogspotting Society. People loved him so much and he gained a lot of fans right then and there. You can find more about this sweet bear pup on his own Instagram page at @theoreocloud.

10 Common Health Problems in Dogs
1. Arthritis
Arthritis is a common condition in older dogs that causes inflammation of the joints, leading to pain and stiffness, which can affect the dog's mobility. This condition can be managed through medication, physical therapy, and homeopathic remedies. Glucosamine is also effective in preventing and alleviating the symptoms of arthritis.
2. Obesity
Obesity is prevalent among dogs, with almost 60% of them either overweight or obese. Obesity increases the risk of certain types of cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. The best way to avoid and treat obesity is to provide a healthy diet and regular exercise. Consult your veterinarian before changing your dog's diet or exercise routine.
3. Dental Diseases
Dental disease in dogs is typically caused by an unclean mouth, and approximately 80% of dogs will have some signs of dental disease by the age of two. Gum disease is the most common type of dental disease, which can cause bacterial infections that may require surgical removal to prevent the infection from spreading to the jaw and skull. Regular dental care can prevent oral diseases.
4. Allergies
Skin allergies in dogs are more common than food allergies and are often manifested as atopic dermatitis. Allergies cannot be cured but can be managed with medication or a prescribed diet.
5. Skin Infections and Hot Spots
Skin infections and hot spots can occur when bacteria infect a wound, leading to redness, inflammation, itching, and irritation. Bathing your dog regularly and seeking veterinary care for wounds can help prevent infections.
6. Benign Tumors
Benign tumors are usually harmless fatty deposits or skin lumps that are unlikely to spread or cause significant harm. If you notice any lumps on your dog's skin, you should get them checked by a vet to determine the best options for treatment.
7. Parasites
Parasites can enter or attach to your dog's body when they eat something contaminated or come into contact with another animal that has the parasite. Internal parasites (heartworms), intestinal parasites (hookworms and ringworms), and external parasites (fleas and ticks) are common. Coccidia in puppies and Giardia in dogs are also frequently transmitted through contaminated water sources.
8. Ear Infections
Ear infections can be caused by several factors, including allergies, autoimmune disorders, wax buildup, and excessive cleaning. Signs of an ear infection include excessive scratching or shaking of the head, odor, dark discharges, and redness or swelling in the ear canal. Medicated cleansers, topical medication, and oral antibiotics can treat dog ear infections.
9. Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause discomfort, pain, frequent urination, or blood in the urine. UTIs could be a sign of a more severe issue like bladder stones or urinary blockage, and it is crucial to consult a veterinarian immediately.
10. Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries occur when a dog pulls a muscle, sprains a joint, or causes damage to the canine soft tissue. Rest, medication, and physical therapy are typically required to help dogs recover from soft tissue injuries.
In conclusion, as a responsible pet parent, educating yourself about the most common symptoms of a sick dog and ensuring access to a veterinarian are essential for your pet's wellbeing. Some health conditions can be hard to detect, and you should never wait until it's too late.
