 Struvite Crystals, FLUTD, Canine Struvite Urolithiasis, Bladder Stones Understanding the causes.Struvite crystals, bladder stones and urinary disease syndromes are examples of nutritionally influenced disease conditions. As is the case with many domestic animal diseases, it is important to note that canines and felines in the wild that consume a natural raw diet do not experience struvite crystals and urolithiasis to any degree. Domestic animals on the other hand, which are fed a diet of highly processed denatured, starch-based, synthetic products, succumb to struvite crystals, bladder stones, and urolithiasis in large numbers. There are two primary causes for this disparity in disease...

Many people are attracted to the stock market, as they should be for investment purposes. The stock market has always been a valid option for people to build a retirement fund or a nest egg over time, provided they are savvy enough to pick the correct stock or fund.

This scenario is the usual way people approach the stock market, however, speculation is another way people use the stock market to make money. Speculation comes in many forms with the stock market, usually by people that have enough disposable income to absorb a loss. Futures trading or commodity trading is one...

Most horse owners are not looking to merely become friends with their horse. They also expect to be able to ride that horse, and to train it to be suitable for their needs. This all-important step is where you begin to push the limits of the bond you have created. Once you have established a good relationship with your horse, you can get started on training him. If your horse is already reasonably well trained, this can be fairly easy. On the other hand, even well trained horses can offer some surprises. Start out with something your horse knows. Keeping the balanced relationship you established on the ground, work with your horse, practicing the skills he learned before he knew you. This will...

If you ask a child, stuffed animals are more than cuddly little pillows with arms and legs. If you ask a child, that's not a stuffed animal, that's Kimbo the lion, and he's allergic to milk, even though he loves ice cream. To an imaginative child, a stuffed animal is more than something to cuddle, it's something to love and endear with a unique personality and create a whole history for, something to go on adventures with. As we've seen, this is a popular theme for stories about children. Of course, there's Calvin and Hobbes, about the rambunctious six year old with a pet tiger. On first reading, the premise seems to be that Hobbes is a stuffed tiger, but a real tiger in Calvin's imagination. To any...

There is many things I,avoid because my life experiences guide me in other directions. To name a few, people who smoke, drink excessively, unchecked drug intake, and the ones that refuse to take 100% response-ability for their current life tribulations. I, myself like many others have been down some nasty roads that have left me abandoned, with no hope of a "normal" life. Am I,healed,I doubt it, but I, do not bath in self pity. I, believe that kind of behavior zaps our internal well being. I, would never admit to having all the correct answers to everyone else's maladies. In order to understand myself I, look at a given situation perhaps with a no nonsense approach. Once I, have collected my garbage...

Modern arcade games have been around since the 1970s, although the more popular ones that most people are familiar with were created in the 1980s and early 90s. Currently, arcades are not as thrilling as they once were, especially since home consoles and computer games nearly rule the video game market. Many of the popular arcade games have been transferred to a console setting, so if you still want to play a classic arcade game, you can do so from the comfort of your own home. Of the many arcade games that have been invented, there are a few that warrant in depth analysis due to their monumental impact. Mortal Kombat, created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, was released in arcades in 1992. It was a...

Exotic pets are vastly misunderstood in the press, and are often portrayed as unruly, difficult to keep and very much a specialist pet. In actual fact exotic pets make exciting and unusual pets and shouldn't be dismissed as quickly as they often are. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the humble corn snake to the highly aggressive desert hairy scorpion to the stunning dendrobates. They also can be surprisingly affectionate, as is the case with the bearded dragon, which is well known for the bond it forms with its owner. They can be very intelligent like the monitors and tegu's, who are renowned in the trade for their intelligence. Some unfortunately do deserve the press such as the green iguana...

Just when you thought you were the coolest in town after giving your car the upgrade, among them a GTO Borla exhaust, along comes a spiffier car you are now dying to get your hands on to. To say that Jaguar's newest cat on the block is "stunning" is an understatement. Ford's British brand rolled out the C-XF concept into the Cobo Arena at the NAIAS and consequently wowed the crowd. "Great Jaguars turn heads in the street. They make people stop and pay attention. They evoke instant desire. That's what the C-XF does and that's what the next generation of Jaguars will do." Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars. And turn heads it does. The gorgeous, four-door sports saloon blends design purity...

Most pet owners put as much thought and care into feeding our cat or dog as we do to feeding ourselves. Browse the pet food section of your local supermarket and you will see an incredibly large choice of cat and dog food to choose from, and there are even more options if you shop at a pet store. The wording on pet food sold in the US is regulated by the Association of American Feed Control Officials. (AAFCO) Pet food manufacturers must list the ingredients by weight - with the first ingredient being the main one. The nutritional breakdown of fat, fiber and protein indicate that the food contains the minimum amount indicated and not necessarily the full amount. The pet food industry is entirely self...

New advances in the development of materials are constantly affecting the fashion industry, for example new or evolved fibres lead to improved fire and crease resistance of fabrics. These developments often allow for the creation of ever more stunning and impressive designs and this is true of Dichroic glass and contemporary jewellery. Dichroic coatings (pronounced di-crow-ic) are in fact no new technology, they were developed in Germany over 100 years ago and have since been used for applications ranging from the diagnosing of certain diseases to use in heat seeking missiles. Dichroic glass was originally developed for use in the U.S aerospace industry but today we see it in a much more artistic...

Chill out the curiosity of your guests with some exciting games. Take a tip in this article about some of the most chiller-diller games for your party. "Bluebeard's Den" is a good chiller-diller. Prepare for it by hanging an old sheet across one end of an adjoining room. Cut four holes in it big enough to admit a head. Just around and below each of these slits smear the sheet with red paint or some kind of red coloring. Catsup will do. Beforehand arrange with one of the fellows to play Bluebeard and ask one of the girls to pose as his first be-headed wife. Have powder or flour and a big puff handy so that she may powder her face heavily and quickly. At the appointed time the girl gets behind the...

Dog bite injuries inflicted by Los Angeles Police Department-owned canines can be especially difficult to try in court, depending on the specific circumstance surrounding the incident. California provides special protection to police departments against dog bite lawsuits, as long as the dog bite injury occurred during an arrest and it did not stem from the police officers' use of unnecessary force. However, the definition of "excessive force" can be subjective, depending on the victim's criminal record and the events surrounding the actual arrest. When the dog bite injury occurred outside of the circumstances of a properly enforced arrest, or outside of official police department duties, California...

The River Thames in London is an exciting and vibrant highway meandering through the very heart of the City. There are many sightseeing and party boats in London for hire, but until recently those people after a more aggressive from of entertainment on the Thames simply had no options. Over the past 2-3 years speed boats, RIB's (rigid inflatable speed boats) and even jet boats have started to appear on the river for passenger carrying rather than just commercial and industrial use. These exotic and expensive passenger boat versions are often based on their commercial cousins which lends them to being strong, safe and hard wearing in construction. The big difference is really only in the pay load, as...

Walleye is a type of fish that is found in fresh water bodies. It is mainly found in the United States of America and Canada. The fish were given the name 'walleye' as a result of their eyes which are similar to those of a cat by the very nature that they shine. As a matter of fact, most fishing for the walleye fish is done at night as it is easier to spot their shiny eyes. One major feature of this fish is the good vision that they have due to their eyesight, and this enables them to inhabit the very deep areas of water bodies. Physically, the walleye fish weighs up to 7kilogrammes and measures up to 30 cm. Most walleyes live for a maximum period of 29 years and they always sport gold or olive...

About 20 years ago I was window shopping in the lovely little village of Long Melford in Suffolk, England. The mile long main street of mainly Georgian shops is an antique collector's heaven. Towards the top of the village is a specialist shop selling stuffed animals, birds and fish which are not usually my type of thing. My eye was caught by a gigantic stuffed fish which I did not recognise, so I had to go in to have a look. The inscription on the very old glass case showed that this rather ugly, but immense fish was a Nile Perch of 124 lb in weight, and caught by Ernest Hemmingway himself. Having hooked this monster it took him over two and a half hours to land it on the shore of the Nile, the...

We have all hear it one time or another in our riding career; it takes 10, 50 or even 100 falls to make a good rider. But why is this true? And how many falls does it actually take? While the saying is, of course, mostly there to encourage you after tumbling off in a lesson, there is some truth to it. Falling off a horse teaches you as much as staying on in many cases. First of all, most riders who have never fallen off have not been truly challenged by their horses. A pleasure rider who has a reliable horse and enjoys riding the trails is unlikely to come off very often. Most spills are caused by unreliable horses, or when trying new skills that are more difficult that you are used to...

For a long time heritage properties suffered from a bum rap. Investors were reluctant to purchase a piece of the past because of the cost of dragging it into the present. Fortunately, in the last few decades, older properties have been rightfully recognized for their beauty and historical value and have become a hot commodity. Yes, there is often work to be done on heritage buildings, but there are also financial incentives for restoring these properties to their former glory. After all, restorations create employment and the finished product is culturally significant, making it a draw for tourism and improving the quality of a neighborhood over all. In fact, property owners in Maryland can benefit...

Sometimes you run into the pet owner who is so proud of his dog that he has their pictures in his wallet as if they were his children. In fact, some pet owners think of their dogs as their fur children. For this extremely proud pet owner, maybe it would make sense to funnel some of that pride into showing their dog competitively. But how does one get started showing one's dog, and what kind of competitions are there for dogs these days? For pet owners there are many options for showing off your dog's talents, all you need to do is look in the right place. Conformation Show When people think of a dog show, this is generally what comes to mind. The Westminster, for example, is a conformation show...
