My dog says this is a great instructional video on how to bottle feed a puppy! The "instructor" works with Found Animals Foundation, an animal advocacy group that offers low cost spay and neuter programs, pet resources, and animal adoption.
This video is a great how-to if you'd like to become a foster parent to a pup who doesn't have a mom to feed from directly. We're all about spay and neuter at My Dog Says, so remember to say no to breeding! Woof!

It's National Microchip Your Pet Day!
Accidents happen and having a microchip inserted into your companion animal is yet another way to ensure his/her safe return in case something unexpected happens. Here are the stats on the benefits of microchips, courtesy of PetFinder and FurKeeps:
- 52.2% of microchipped dogs are returned to their owners, versus 21.9% overall (238% better with a microchip!).
- 38.5% of microchipped cats are returned to their owners, versus 1.8% overall (over 2000% better with a microchip!).
- Fewer than 2% of all stray dogs and cats in shelters have microchips.
- Lost pets who had a microchip were reunited with their families in almost three out of four cases.
- 35% of microchipped pets who were not reconnected with their families remained in shelters because their the owner had not maintained the information on the chip (e.g. incorrect or disconnected phone number).

If the BP oil spill was in YOUR hometown
My dog says he found an online tool that will help you understand the massiveness of the BP oil spill.
Just put in your location and the map will show how much of your city and state would be covered if the spill happened in your back yard. This is a wonderful tool to help wrap your head around how huge the spill really is. Click HERE to check it out.
Oh, and to find out what you can do to help, check out my earlier post on hair and fur donations! Tweet

Huge patch of plastic covers Atlantic Ocean
My dog says he read a heartbreaking article today about a pile of plastic in the Atlantic Ocean that spans thousands of square miles. Did you know nearly 80% of marine debris comes from the land? So, that litter in the streets, that overflowing garbage can, that trash on the beach; it all ends up in the ocean.
