Irish Terriers are one of the oldest breeds of terriers, so it’s only fitting that they are also the living embodiment of the breed class. If you’ve ever heard that terriers are supposed to be scrappy, quick-witted, and basically fearless, then the Irish Terrier certainly won’t disappoint.

This is one of the larger terrier breeds, and while it’s full of spunk and curiosity, it also tends to be difficult to integrate with other pets, is not particularly stranger-friendly, and is somewhat harder to train. Don’t let that discourage you, though, because they’ve also got relatively low exercise needs, and they tend to be almost polite when inside the house. Perfect for families with smaller homes where bouncy pets might not work!

If you've got dogs that you can't walk outside for whatever reason, or you need to monitor their exercise a little better, a dog treadmill might seem like a good idea. 

However, when you start looking, you might be surprised to learn that treadmills for dogs can cost as much or more as treadmills for people. We've found a few of the more affordable options out there, and we have some great tips to maximize your investment in a dog treadmill.

Even healthy dogs occasionally have scrapes, dry skin and other minor conditions. If you're like many dog owners, you might not have anything on hand to treat those issues when they come up. 

So you might be wondering if you can use products that are made for humans, and if that's the case, you might be wondering if Aquaphor is toxic to dogs. The good news is it's not, but there's a little more you need to know. 

Originally, Bulldogs were used by farmers to drive cattle to market, and also to compete in a grisly sport called bull baiting. Unlike their ancestors, Bulldogs of today are gentle, playful creatures who love being with children. They are not very active dogs at all and are more than happy to take a short walk every day and spend a lot of their time sleeping.
