The Obama Search: Hypoallergenic Dogs
Hypoallergenic breeds have gained attention as a result of president-elect Obama's search for a dog for his allergy-suffering daughter Malia.

Pets: How To Keep Your Dog's Health Costs Down
According to the American Kennel Club "Cost of Dog Ownership" survey, each year the average dog owner spends approximately $2,500 on maintenance fees such as food and vet care. While the benefits of pet ownership far outweigh the costs, every responsible dog owner should know that along with love and companionship comes financial responsibility. <p><a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~a/Courantcom-Pets?a=eWTwHF"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~a/Courantcom-Pets?i=eWTwHF" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=eGvVN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=eGvVN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=6ttaN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=6ttaN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=Vldvn"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=Vldvn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=6altn"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=6altn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=rUOvN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=rUOvN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=K6DHN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=K6DHN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=7arqn"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=7arqn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=c3HtN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=c3HtN" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~r/Courantcom-Pets/~4/453472503" height="1" width="1"/>
Unusual Pets Beg Caution
Earlier this month, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement discouraging "nontraditional pets" in households with young kids. Such animals, including rodents and reptiles, pose a health risk to kids younger than 5, the group concluded. <p><a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~a/Courantcom-Pets?a=MjWmMz"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~a/Courantcom-Pets?i=MjWmMz" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=mt8fN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=mt8fN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=zQIuN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=zQIuN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=BHjTn"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=BHjTn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=LMa4n"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=LMa4n" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=TuccN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=TuccN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=7pfhN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=7pfhN" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=OI3hn"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=OI3hn" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?a=W7YfN"><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~f/Courantcom-Pets?i=W7YfN" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.courant.com/~r/Courantcom-Pets/~4/445955781" height="1" width="1"/>

Pet Tips: Cats And Milk, De-Skunking, Ticks
