Help Your Pet Have “Paw”-fectly Balanced Nutrition
Help Your Pet Have “Paw”-fectly Balanced Nutrition Reading labels before buying food can be good for your health–and it's just as important to read labels carefully when choosing food for your dog.
Nutrients play an important role in a pet's health. Learning more about what pets need can help pet owners be sure their dogs get everything they need.
Dog owners also need to realize that a dog's dietary requirements change based on age, weight and activity level.
Dogs require the right balance of proteins, fats, antioxidants (beta-carotene and vitamin E), omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Also, a dog typically needs more fat for energy and a healthy skin and coat, and less fiber for good intestinal health, than people. Good fat sources for dogs include chicken fat and fish oil.
A combination of carbohydrates, such as corn, barley and other whole grains, helps maintain energy levels. Beta-carotene, Vitamin E and other antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, like those found in Iams' new Healthy Naturals formula, can help boost a dog's immune system.
If you decide to change your pet's diet and introduce a new dog food, one key to a successful transition is to introduce the new food gradually:
• Start by mixing 25 percent of the new food with 75 percent of the old food. Gradually adjust the proportions over the course of three days until he is eating 100 percent of the new food.
• Dogs love routine, so feeding them at the same time and place every day will help the transition.
• When reading labels, also keep in mind that premium pet foods are often packed with more nutrients; therefore, smaller portions are usually recommended.

Know the Fun of Being a Project Manager
A forty-year old veteran of engineering and project management stresses that more people must consider the career because it is a fun job that yields tangible results.
Freelancer project manager Tom Klein who was able to complete his engineering diploma in 1967 and has worked in project management for the past 15 years on large infrastructure roll-outs.
“The number one thing about project management is it is fun and something that, at the end, you see a result,” Klein said.
“It really is fun. When I started it was based on my engineering background, but today it has progressed somewhat and some sort of accreditation is a must.”
“When you receive a project the main thing is to remain calm for a few days. People get a high heart rate and want to do everything now,” Klein says.
Klein has worked on a GSM roll out for Vodafone, data centre build outs, switching equipment installations for PowerTel (AAPT) and a 700 kilometre fibre optic cable deployment for energy Australia connecting 200 substations.
He says there are two types of project managers – generalists and specialists.
Klein believes people should think of all tasks as projects and manage them that way.
“Did you ever prepare a dinner? You project manage everything. You should see everything as a project,” he says. “Lately people interchange the words of project and event. You do the same in project management as with event management.”
Klein sees people as more conscious of delivering things on time and on budget and require services of professional project managers.
On project management software and tools, Klein says “keep it simple and it’s 'horses for courses'”.
“Collaboration and knowledge sharing is an absolute must for project management,” Klein said.
When asked why so many projects fail, Klein said: “Projects don’t fail, the expectations do.”
Klein recently finished working on projects for NSW RailCorp and is now looking for another challenge “because project management is fun”.
