Hidden Traps in Your Cat or Dog’s Diet (Part 2)
Two diet traps to watch: vegetables and snacks. Never feed onion, garlic, mushrooms, or soybeans, keep veggies under 25% of the diet (cats are carnivores), blanch and purée them, and favor cooked cruciferous types. For snacks, pick reputable brands that supply missing vitamins/minerals, avoid permeable packaging that spoils in storage, and treat them as supplements — not the main diet.
What to Do If Your Dog Has Eyeworms
Eyeworms (Thelazia callipaeda) are milky-white nematodes that live beneath a dog's eyelids and are transmitted by flies, causing tearing, redness, and corneal ulcers.

How to Choose Dog Food for a Beagle
The Beagle — a popular hunting-breed companion — needs food chosen for tolerance, not brand fame. Rotate proteins early to surface any allergies, judge a food by its main meat ingredient rather than the label, and switch diets gradually over about a week (25%→50%→75%→100%) to avoid tummy upset.

What to Do When a Dog Has Diarrhea After a Food Change
Diarrhea when switching dog food is mainly because the dog's intestines temporarily cannot accept the new food. In addition, the owner needs to judge the dog's mental state and eating condition, because diarrhea from a food change generally does not show lethargy or loss of appetite; if other symptoms appear, seek veterinary care promptly.
Treatment for Dog Diarrhea
If your dog has diarrhea but behaves normally, with good energy levels and no vomiting, weakness, lethargy, or other abnormal symptoms, then usually providing some water and bland food lets it recover quickly.
