Useful Tip

Does your dog like to sit or lay on your feet?  You really should not encourage this; it is actually letting your dog have the upper hand.  Plus do you really enjoy your feet falling asleep?  Teach them to sit or lay down beside you; this is a better behavior.

Useful Tip

Many Saint Bernards are plagued with ear infections.  It is good idea to regularly clean your dog's ears.  Whenever you suspect your dog has an ear infection, take them to the vet.  The over-the-counter products that are available are usually a waste of your money.  If you can find panolog ointment this product works well for clearing up ear infections.  Panolog requires a prescription in the United States.

Useful Tip

We use raised feeders for our dog's water and food bowls.  For the do-it-yourselfer's; you can purchase cement pavers from your local building supply store.  I recommend the 12" square or round pavers that are 2" thick.  The nice thing about using pavers is you can make them as high as you need by adding a paver to heighten or remove a paver to shorten.  If you drill some holes in the top paver; you can insert some screws or nails to help keep the water/food bowl in place.
