It’s another way to say hello. The “Toss a Bone” feature will alert this user that you “Tossed a Bone” in their direction.

A tag is a word you choose to describe a picture that has been posted. This can include the dog’s name, colors in the picture, the subject matter, the action in the picture or anything else you choose. Use tags as a fun way to explore what people are posting and to group pictures together, and as a way to mark your own pictures!

This is the first picture that will appear on your dog’s album, and is the picture that will appear on a search results page when your dog is displayed.

What is a podcast?

Podcasts are audio or video programs that you can download and play on your computer or portable media player. Podcasts are usually distributed using Really Simple Syndication (RSS) technology.

What do I need to see or hear podcasts?

To see or hear podcasts, you need a computer with a sound card. If you want to take your podcasts on the go, you'll need to transfer them from your computer to a portable media device.

Do I need special software to receive podcasts?*

To receive podcasts automatically, you need podcast subscription software such as Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in), Transistr, or services such as Odeo.

Do I need an iPod to watch or listen to podcasts?

No. You can watch or listen to podcasts on any device that plays mp3 or video files, including your computer.

Why don't video podcasts play on my PC?*

Purina video podcasts are in .mp4 format, which you can view using the QuickTime player, RealPlayer or iTunes - all of which are available at no charge. Windows Media Player does not recognize .mp4 video files. If you have trouble viewing Purina video podcasts, download one of these players and try again.

How do I subscribe to Purina podcasts?*

The easiest way to subscribe to Purina podcasts is via our Petcasting homepage on iTunes, where you may subscribe to shows at the click of a button.

Alternatively, all of our podcast pages include an XML link that you may copy and paste into your podcast software of choice.

Resolution is a measure of the detail of an image. Resolution is measured in DPI, or Dots Per Inch. Many pictures on the internet are 72 DPI; digital cameras often take large pictures that enlarge and display clearly, but have a large file size. Low DPI images have a smaller file size and often look fine on the web or in small pictures, but if they are blown up, the individual dots that make up the picture become visible, making the image appear blurry or boxy.

For this reason, we recommend using higher DPI images for larger applications such as T-shirts.
