Pet Etiquette
 We’ve all met them, the dog owners who don’t seem to care about anyone’s comfort but their and their dog’s. They’re the ones who let their dog leave a mess on the sidewalk or stand by while their pup barks at kids and bowls over old ladies. But even if you have higher standards for your dog than this, how can you be sure you’re following all the rules of pet etiquette? After all, if you like to take your dog everywhere you go—on camping trips, road trips, rides in the RV, and trips into town—you already have a vested interest in having a dog that’s welcome wherever it goes. Take a minute to brush up on your skills, and you’ll be well versed in what is and isn’t appropriate in the pet world.

Human Food That’s Bad for Dogs
It’s hard to resist a wagging tail and a pair of big, brown, begging eyes. And while certain human foods are palatable for dogs, it’s important to know which are not – because unfortunately, the bad ones can severely harm and even kill your dog. The following list of bad foods and their dangers may seem dire, but if you familiarize yourself with these harmful human foods, you’ll be better equipped to keep your dog healthy and happy.
Enemy #1: poultry bones. Bones and dogs go hand-in-hand, so it can be easy to forget that only the bones from hoofed animals are right for dogs. Poultry bones – everything from chicken thighs to turkey drumsticks – splinter and can puncture your dog’s gastrointestinal tract. These bones are dangerous to dogs of all sizes, and the decline and death that results can take several days. Instead of giving your dog bones from the table, buy specially marked dog bones at the store.
