Did you know that your choice of canine can say a lot about you? Your Inner Dog provides a humorous, lighthearted look at how pet parents compare to their dogs. Best traits, career, leisure, fashion musts, food faves, significant others, and pet peeves are just some of the things your dog’s breed can reveal about you. Scottish Terrier owners, we want to know: Does this breed personality and character profile match your own?

Personality and Character

You may be the most balanced of all dog owners. On the one hand, you are bold, vibrant, and a little jaunty. (You have your own special walk.) You are also very kind and idealistic. Determined, thoughtful, and logical, you have a strong sense of duty and responsibility. Life to you is a serious business, and you need a purpose in all that you do. You have no time for distractions. You can, however, procrastinate, and there is a danger of your getting bogged down in petty little details. You are extremely stubborn but adaptable when convinced that a change is necessary. Indeed, you are excited by new ideas and projects. You are respected by all, although you can be domineering, and you may take offense when misunderstood. You are a true philosopher and are quite capable of enjoying your own company. You are absolutely honorable—but you never forget a slight, either. And you don’t like being pressured.

The holiday season is upon us, and you’re probably racking your brain for the perfect gift ideas for your family and friends. At Nylabone, we decided to make your life a bit easier by narrowing down your options so that you can pinpoint that perfect gift your dog will love. (After all, it’s kind of difficult for them to go out and return it or re-gift it.) Whether your dog enjoys days spent vigorously chewing or playtime filled with chasing and catching a favorite toy, we’ve got just the thing to make the season bright!

Consider a few things before you go out and buy the first dog item you see. Factors such as age, size, breed, and chew style can be a great help in identifying what types of products your dog will enjoy.

Gifts for Puppy Chewers

Our products for puppy chewers are specially designed for young, teething puppies who don’t yet have any permanent teeth. They are available in various sizes, ranging from x-small to large. Be sure to check the size restrictions on the packaging before making a purchase. Here are some of our hottest items for puppies:

Puppy Starter Kit Puppy Teething Keys™ Puppy Teething Rings™

Gifts for Powerful Chewers

Our products for powerful chewers are specially designed to satisfy your dog and withstand the most aggressive of chewers. Be sure to check the packaging for weight restrictions, and go with the bigger size if your dog is in between sizes. You can also give a larger-size product to a very powerful chewer to create more of a challenge. Hot items for powerful chewers include:

DuraChew® Bone – Chicken (Souper Size) DuraChew® – Monster Bone DuraChew® Double Action® Chew

Gifts for Moderate Chewers

If your dog is not a very aggressive and powerful chewer, then our FlexiChew products, which are flexible and specially designed to be enjoyed by moderate chewers, will be ideal. Here are our top picks for moderate chewers:

Twin Pack Dental Chew and FlexiChew® Romp ‘n Chomp™ – Freezer Bone FlexiChew® Bone – Chicken (Souper size)

Gifts for Treat Lovers

Our edible products include chews, treats, and treat toys, which combine non-edible toys and treats for a fun and tasty experience. Our treats and chews are all-natural and highly digestible. Edible treats and chews make the perfect holiday gift for any dog! Here are some suggestions:

Nutri Dent – Edible Dental Chews Healthy Edibles Romp ‘n Chomp – Treat Toys

Gifts for Clean Teeth

Don’t forget to give your dog the gift of clean and healthy teeth! Our Advanced Oral Care products reduce the risk of oral disease, which could extend the life of your dog. We also offer non-edible Dental Chews, which have nubs that scrub plaque and tartar off your dog’s teeth while he chews. Here are some suggestions:

Dental Chew – Bone DuraChew Dental Chew Advanced Oral Care – Liquid Tartar Remover

So, don’t let your dog miss out on all the fun of the season! When in doubt, check out our Chew Style Guide, and give your pup a holiday to remember!

Hurricane Sandy has left many counties in the tri-state area in a state of devastation. Many people and communities have lost a great deal due to the super-storm, and pets have not had an easy time either. Shelters, which typically run at 100% capacity in good times, now need more help than ever.

Families and their pets have been separated due to evacuations, and pet rescue teams have been working around the clock to retrieve pets from abandoned homes and other devastating situations. Regardless of whether or not you live in the tri-state area, we’re sure you sympathize with and would like to support these pets, families, and rescuers, who have felt the wrath of Hurricane Sandy.

If you live in New Jersey and have been separated from your pet, please call this hotline: 1-855-407-4787. Similarly, if you have been separated from your pet and live in New York, you should call this hotline: 347-573-1561. In addition, there are Facebook pages and other sites (like this one: https://www.facebook.com/SandysPets) dedicated to reuniting pets with their families.

If you are an animal lover, who would like to help out in this tragic time of need, you can make a donation to The Humane Society of the United States, The North Shore Animal League of America, or ASPCA. Any help or donations would be greatly appreciated, and help to keep pets safe and happy in this time of distress.

1. Good Kitty

An adorable Golden Retriever gives his kitty pal a pat on the head, but he doesn’t seem to appreciate it.

2. Prim & Proper

This cute dog crosses her paws to be just like her mama!

3. Roar

It’s highly likely that this is really a yawn or sneeze, but it looks like a roar, which makes it that much cuter.

4. Burrito Dog

This dog seems to be a burrito enthusiast. Either he is preparing for winter, or his owner eats a lot of Chipotle.

5. W-A-L-K Dog

Apparently this dog loves walks more than your average dog, and your average dog really loves walks.

Who says cat perches are just for cats?	Keeping an eye on the backyard kitty style.
“What? I’m not kneading this blanket! That’s ridiculous!”	“How did I get up here? Well, it’s actually a funny story…”
Wait, which one is the dog?	“Perhaps the cat was onto something – comfy and a good view.”

English Springer Spaniel owners, we want to know: Does this breed personality and character profile match your own?

Personality and Character

You are more interested in generalities than in details and enjoy looking for theories to back up your observations. In fact, theory in general fascinates you, especially when it comes to the sciences. Your personality is often described as “larger than life,” and you like to be the center of attention. At the same time, you are stable, kind, and affectionate and are actually rather easygoing in social relationships. Diplomacy is the key to your working style. You have high self-esteem and very few self-doubts; you are definitely your own person. You have a great understanding of humanity, but you insist on high standards for yourself and others. Despite this admirable trait, you’ve been known to obscure the facts a time or two.

Fall has finally arrived, and we bet you can’t wait to get out and enjoy the crisp air and crunchy leaves with your fluffy companion! There are plenty of fun activities to partake in with your pup, but before you do, it’s time for some quick fall safety tips for dogs. Heed these warnings to avoid doggy discomfort and a stressful season.

1. Check for fleas and ticks! When outdoor playtime is over, inspect your dog thoroughly for fleas and ticks. Also, follow your vet’s advice regarding flea, tick, and heartworm preventives.




2. Be aware of allergies! While this time of the year offers a comfortable climate for dogs, it also brings uncomfortable allergic reactions for some. Ragweed and mold spores lurk in leaf piles, so be sure to rake and dispose of leaves. If your dog can’t stop scratching, you may need to get an oral antihistamine or medicated shampoo from the vet.




3. Hike with caution!Hiking is a wonderful opportunity for you and your dog to enjoy nature’s beauty and spend some quality time together. It is important, however, to take note of any harmful plants, like poison ivy, and potentially dangerous animals, like snakes. In addition, wash any cuts with warm water and apply antibiotic ointment. If the cut is deep, visit the vet.

Keep your pup safe and enjoy all of the wonderful things fall has to offer!
