1 Comment on Dog VS Grizzly Bear… This Is Pretty Amazing!

Dogs battling Grizzly bears is something we don’t hear in the news everyday… And it’s even more rare for such a sight to be captured in video… Yes… it is true! We got the video to prove it! Dogs VS Grizzly Bears! These brave dogs stood up to these bears 10 times their size and weight, just to protect their owners! And you won’t believe what happened next…

Henry the Schnauzer, Baby the Labrador Retriever and Crash the Spaniel, these three make one hell of a great team I must say! Their bravery and team work is nothing short of amazing! I mean, who would’ve known something like this could ever happen! For God’s sake, those were Grizzly Bears! 500 lb GRIZZLY BEARS!

And wait till you hear what Wikipedia says about the size of Grizzly Bears…

“Most adult female grizzlies weigh 130–200 kg (290–440 lb), while adult males weigh on average 180–360 kg (400–790 lb)! Average total length in this subspecies is 198 cm (6.50 ft), with an average shoulder height of 102 cm (3.35 ft)”

And guess what! The combined weight of these three brave dogs don’t even add upto a 150 lbs! Also overlooking the fact that Grizzlies are fierce predators, as if the stacks weren’t already stacked up high enough against our team of brave dogs. But they did manage to chase those bears away! Not just once, but multiple times!

Wow… that truly was something I never seen before… a sight to behold!

How Dog Vaccines Really Work – The Truth

No Comments on How Dog Vaccines Really Work – The Truth

If you are a dog owner you have been told time and time again you must get your dog vaccinated to prevent disease. The question of many dog owners is how do vaccines work to prevent disease from affecting my dog? The reason the act of vaccination is contemplated upon is because a vaccine is actually a strand of the disease. A vaccine uses a modified or dead version of the virus causing disease to allow the immunity to have a natural reaction.

Once the immune system is triggered by the vaccination, the dog’s body begins producing specialty anti-body cells to fight the virus. Once antibodies have been made against the disease, the body will always have them and his body will be ready when the dog is attacked by the real virus.

A dog’s immunity is actually passed to him at the time of birth. After the puppy is born, he begins nursing right away on a milk product known as colostrum. Colostrum is thicker than regular milk and is loaded with immune supporting antibodies. The unique passive of immunity from mother to offspring is known as passive immunity. Although the mother dog may provide the pup with tons of antibody fighting cells, there are some antibodies that may not have been transferred. This is where vaccinations come in, to protect your dog completely.

People have given dog vaccines a bad name due to side effects the vaccine may or may not cause to the dog. Dog owners are easily misguided and should remember that a vaccine is a safe version of a virus. Any virus, vaccine or active, will cause the dogs body to shakeup a little. Think about the last time you had a flu shot.

You may have felt a little nauseous, feverish or sleepy after being administered the shot because the flu shot is a modified version of the influenza virus. As humans, we follow up on our vaccines because we know they will do us good in the long run, and our dogs should be no different. It should be noted that some dogs are allergic to some vaccines which is an exception to the previous statement.
