Can your dog get sick from eating a Live fish?
Contrary to popular belief, feeding a dog a diet of raw meat, organs and bones is said to be incredibly beneficial to the the animal, and with limited risk. However, creating a nutritionally complete diet takes a lot of research in order to get the balance right.
Dogs have evolved to digest raw meat. Even our furry friends are not all that different from their wild cousins; they are all perfectly adapted to eat raw meat, organs and even bone and to digest it all quickly and efficiently. Fresh, raw meat provides them with all the nutrition they need.. Cooked meat, in comparison, has little to no nutrients in it as all the nutrients are easily destroyed when the meat is cooked or even heated for a short period of time. It is highly advisable to never feed cooked meat as part of a dog or cat's diet as this will not provide your pet with the nutrients it needs and can cause severe health problems.
What about bacteria? Dogs are carnivores. They need meat in their diet. The canine digestive system is not like ours; their stomach and intestines quickly break down the meat, organ and bone to the molecular level and absorb them, and the leftover parts are expelled as waste. Meat does not stay in the animal's intestines long enough to allow harmful bacteria to grow and harm it. In comparison, a human's digestive system is much, much slower and food spends most of its time in the gut where the food is processed. This allows harmful bacteria to multiply which makes us vulnerable to salmonella and ecoli.
Harmful bacteria such as salmonella can and has been found in processed pet foods - causing brands to recall their products. While raw has a small risk (as with feeding all foods), you can control where the meat you feed your pet comes from and greatly limit the chance of buying contaminated food.
Many commercially-processed meats are full of bacteria due to the animals kept in cramped and unsanitary conditions which is never a good idea to feed raw. If you wish to feed raw to your cat or dog, Organic or Free Range meat is the safest choice as the meat would have come from hormone-free animals kept in sanitary conditions. Freezing the meat for several weeks will help kill off any bacteria.
Always practice safe food handling techniques when handling ANY raw meat - whether it is for you or your pet. It might be advisable to take extra care with very young, very old or animals with compromised immune systems.
The benefits are said to far outweigh any small risk:
- Glossy coats, healthy skin, bright eyes.
- Teeth & gums are kept healthy and free of plaque as the chewing action rubs off any plaque and keeps the blood flow in the gums active.
- Allergies & sensitive stomachs can become non-existant as raw food is not packed with cheap filler such as grain or corn.
- Smaller/less frequent bowel movements that do not smell as much compared to some cats and dogs on commercial diets.
- Some dogs are fussy eaters, and many cats and dogs will just gulp down their food. Raw food stops that, as they have to work at the meat to get mouth-sized pieces. Pets that quickly get bored of their food rarely get bored of raw as the taste and texture is different for every meal.
- It has been said that a raw-fed dog is rarely hyperactive. Instead, they have a healthy amount of energy. This also has said to help behaviour problems with adolescent dogs and are much easier to solve the issues due to the lack of hyperactivity.
What fish clean glass in fish tanks?
Step 1: first, get a cup/bowl and put 25% to 50% of the water from the tank into a bucket.
Step 2: Gently deposit each of your fish into that bucket, temporarily.
Step 3: Get a clean sponge, and wipe the glass inside of the tank. Do NOT use cleaners; they will kill your fish.
Step 4: After that, put clean water in. Make SURE it is ready for FISH to live in it!
Step 5: Reinsert filters, lights, etc.
Step 6: Check with a fish store concerning what the water needs to be before re-introducing the fish! (Salinity; temperature; how oxygenated it is...etc. Used to be that you had to wait 24 hours before putting the fish back in but I don't know if that has changed or not.
Put your fish from the buck into the tank, one at a time.
Step 7: DUMP the dirty water from all buckets you used.
Step 8: Enjoy your new, clean fish tank!
You shouldn't keep pebbles or fake plants in the tank because they cause bacteria and that kills fish.
When you clean a tank and you do have gravel you need to take the gravel out and put new in if you like.
You should not clean it with chemicals or soap that will kill the fish to i think you should just scrub it down with just a wet cloth so you get the stuff out of the tank.
What are 3 things about whales that tell scientists that they aren't fish?
~They live in the water, they are grayish in color, they have fins, they have a tail, they have rubbery, smooth, waterproof skin, they have a blowhole used for breathing, and they cannot stay underwater forever; they must come up for air. They also communicate with high pitched sounds that humans cannot hear.
I am not a whale expert... so that is all I know about whales :P sorry.
well that's easy get bored eat them from going fishing or stores watchem swim feed the 1 a week or 1 every 2 weeks
How many gallons of water in 48x21x18 ins fish tank?
We will assume the tank is cylindrical with a circumference of 48 inches and a height of 10 feet. First, you must ensure that units are consistent, so you will have to convert inches to feet or feet to inches. Let's convert feet to inches. So, 10 feet = 120 inches, since there are 12 inches to the foot. Second, we must calculate the radius, r, of the cylinder by dividing the circumference by (2*Pi). So 48 / (2*Pi) = 7.64 inches. Third, we use the volume of a cylinder to calculate the volume of the tank in cubic inches: V = (Pi)r2h, where Pi = 3.141, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is its height. Therefore, we have V = 3.141 * 7.642 * 120 = 22001.58 cubic inches. Last, we convert cubic inches to gallons. Since there are 231 cubic inches to the gallon, we divide our answer in the third step by 231. So, 22004.8 / 231 = 95.24 gallons. The above process used the familiar formula for volume. To use it, it was necessary to calculate the radius from the given information, namely, the circumference. We could have skipped that step had we used another simple, albeit less familiar formula. The volume of a cylinder is simply the area of its base times its height. And the area of the base can be calculated directly from its circumference: A = C2/(4*Pi). So, V = h * C2/(4*Pi) = 120 * 482 / (4 * 3.141) = 22001.58 cubic inches. We still need to divide by 231 to get 95.24 gallons.
The property of water that allows fish to survive winter's freezing temperatures is that the density of ice (solid water) is less than the density of liquid water. Because of this, the surface layer of water in the lakes freezes, and floats on top of the liquid layer, thus allowing marine life to survive.
I wouldn't buy Pooka fish, in fact if you live in the U.S, I believe it's illegal. The reason why you shouldn't buy it is because even though they eat the dead skin of your foot or any other body part, their saliva contains very dangerous toxins that can damage your nervous system.
What are the 7 market forms of fish?
one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, skinny fish, fat fish, cat fish
Why do fishermen poke the eyes out of the fish they catch?
Poking the eyes releases the gases which causes the carcass to sink to the bottom. This prevents fish floating attracting birds.
Afternoon or early evening. This sounds like a comedy answer, but it isn't! If you mean, in what season or what time of year then there's no answer. They breed when they are ready. If you get a pair and put them in a tank, expect spawning after 1-12 months - there's no way to be more definite. But they do tend to actually mate in the late afternoon. Spawning can then re-occur every 12-18 days afterwards.
Clown fish, when born, are all male. Once they reach the age of maturity, the most dominant fish undergoes a sex change and becomes a breeding female. The dominant remaining male will then spawn with her. Should the female die, the dominant male will "become" female to replace her.
Are fish frogs turtles lily pads and dragonflies members of the same community?

How do you tell the difference between a male and female barramundi?
It depends what breed it is. If it is a livebearer the female would have an anal fin and the male would have a gonopodium. In the case of egg layers,scatterersand depositors the females might be plumper or the males may be a different colour/more colourfull.
