May 2025 Articles – Your Quick Guide to Dog Care, Grooming, and Travel

May was a busy month at Oakwell Gundogs. We covered everything from snack safety to jet‑setting with your dog. Below you’ll find short summaries of each post, so you can grab the info you need without scrolling through every article.

Top Health & Nutrition Guides

If you love sharing a spoonful of peanut butter with your pup, check out our breakdown of xylitol‑free brands. We list which store‑bought jars are safe, how to read the label, and the best ways to serve a bite‑size treat. For cat owners, we answered the common question, “How much wet food should a 10 lb cat eat?” with clear portion numbers and feeding tips.

We also tackled the big debate around Beneful. Vet opinions, ingredient analysis, and real‑world results are laid out so you can decide if that kibble belongs in your dog’s bowl. And for owners wondering about supplements, our article explains when a vet might actually recommend a boost, what to look for on the label, and how to avoid hype.

Travel, Training, and Safety Tips

Planning a family getaway? Our airline guide tells you which carriers allow dogs, the weight limits, and paperwork you’ll need. We compare in‑cabin versus cargo options so you can pick the stress‑free route for your furry friend.

Safety gear got a makeover too. Breakaway collars are useful, but we ranked alternatives like martingales and quick‑release styles, explaining which dogs benefit most from each. If you’ve heard Cesar Millan talk about prong collars, our piece lays out his stance, proper use, and safer substitutes.

Grooming fans will love our list of professional deodorizing products. We name the sprays, shampoos, and natural fixes that actually neutralize odor without harming the coat. You’ll also get quick at‑home tips to keep your dog smelling fresh between salon visits.

Behavior questions were front‑and‑center. We decoded why dogs lick people, what a kiss means to a traveling pup, and whether letting your dog sleep in your bed is a good idea for health and sleep quality. Each article offers concrete actions—like redirecting excessive licking or setting up a calm bedtime routine.

Puppy owners got a solid toolbox too. The “Rule of 3” explains how the first three days, weeks, and months shape a pup’s relationship with toys. We then answered the age‑old dilemma of ignoring crate barking and shared a step‑by‑step plan for 8‑week‑old puppies staying in a crate overnight. Practical advice, real‑life anecdotes, and easy fixes fill these guides.

All of these posts are written in plain language, packed with real tips you can try today. Bookmark the topics that matter most, and feel free to come back whenever you need a quick reminder. Happy pet parenting!
