I did not know dogs could sunburn.

I love to hear any news concerning our four-legged companions, dogs and cats. I have my own two adopted large black dogs and a cat. I did not know that dogs could sunburn, but common sense makes me tell Sadie to come in when she stays too long in the sun.
I take care of cats and dogs to earn a living. I find it rewarding work. Any information you share is good for me. Thank you.

I found this very informative. I did not know dogs suffer from sunburn, nor would it have occurred to me to put sunscreen on a dog.

As for some other ideas for topics, it looks like the board is of decent size, so maybe section off a portion for people to post notices, like for selling items, or looking for a particular item to buy, etc. Maybe that will get the owners interacting more, and might increase their interest to browse the board.

Also, maybe a post on the pet tip of the week? Could be anything from the benefits of socializing with one's dog, to the dangers of feeding dogs some common human foods.

Posting notices about local dog shows, free or low-cost vaccination specials around town, or spay/neuter info.

Also, what about people who need doggie day-care, or doggie sitters for vacations? Might be a good way to hook some people up.

We used to have an event at one of our city's public pools where dog owners were allowed to let their dogs swim in our pool. The only reason being that we have to drain the pools a few times a year for maintenance and whatnot, so it was ok to let them swim and frolic about with their owners since the pool would be drained and cleaned the next day.

I don't know if your city/county would entertain such an idea, but it was big here. If you want more detailed info, I will get it for you.

Wow, I didn't know any of this either! I dig the colored paper ^_^
