Kuranda Dog Beds.

What our customers say:
"I just thought I would write and thank you for making your wonderful Kuranda bed! It was so easy to put together, it took me no time at all, and before I had even tied the lambs wool bed pad in place, Harrison had climbed on and made himself comfortable! He is sleeping as I write this. I heard about the 'Kuranda Experience' from the 'The Straight Poop', and I've been looking forward to being able to give Harrison a warm, comfortable and supportive bed. He is extremely happy with the real thing! Thank you again, Kuranda. Bye for now, Emma Evans"

A Word From Frank:

Frank Fleischer
You can probably imagine that I use my computer a lot, what with surfing the web looking for interesting dog stuff and putting The Straight Poop together every couple of weeks. To try to keep up to date I subscribe to a couple of good and useful technical email newsletters... Lockergnome at http://www.lockergnome.com and LangaList at http://www.langalist.com. You might want to take a look and see if they appeal.

One recurring theme in these and other online discussions is security. And listen, folks, it's not that tough to be protected... just follow a few very simple rules and you'll avoid just about all of the problems: first, don't open an email attachment unless you know exactly what it is... even if it come from someone you know. Second, install and keep up to date a good anti-virus program. Third, don't fall for "pfishing"... where a crook sends you an email message that looks like it comes from a bank or credit card company and asks you to update your confidential information.

Shouldn't be that hard, right?



See you next time. Wishing you a warm puppy 'til then.
Frank

The Puppy Corner: First Weeks of a Puppy's Life are Critical

The first few weeks of a newborn puppy's life are crucial to its future development. What happens to a puppy during those all-important first weeks can often determine whether a dog will lead a normal, healthy life or a life that is wrought with illness or behavioural problems. [continue]

Dog Health and Nutrition: Protein Requirements for Good Nutrition

Proteins are the building blocks in animal nutrition. They are one of the most important nutrients in the diet and are currently one of the most widely debated. For around twenty thousand years as dogs, and for several million years before that as wolves, the only problem canines had with protein was getting enough of it. [continue]
