HOLIDAY PET GUIDE

NOVEMBER 17, 2017

Keep your pet healthy this holiday season AMY SCHRADER

the best gifts you can give your pet is the gift of health.

Local veterinarians have expert advice on preventative health care for your pet from vaccines to dental care and grooming tips that lead to optimum health for your pet.

Vaccinating your pet is one of the easiest ways to help your pet live a long and healthy life. The vaccinations help prepare your pet’s immune system to fight off diseases.

“There are core vaccines every pet should have,” said Dr. Stacey Wright of Antioch Veterinary Hospitals. “They include rabies, the distemper combination for dogs – also known as DHPP – and the FVRCP for cats.”

The FVRCP vaccine for cats offers protection against three feline viruses: rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia, while the DHPP vaccination for dogs helps prevent distemper, hepatitis, parvo and parainfluenza.

While many other vaccines are offered, Wright recommends pet owners choose what fits with their pet’s lifestyle.

“If your dog goes hiking, he or she should get the rattlesnake vaccine,” said Wright. “If your dog is often near water, the leptospirosis vaccine is important, and if your dog goes to the groomer, dog park or

The gift of good health is the best present furry family members can receive. a boarding facility, he or she should get the Bordetella vaccine.”

Dr. Tucker Avra, of Brentwood Family Pet Care, recommends additional vaccines for high-risk pets.

“Other vaccines that are administered to high-risk pets are the Lyme disease vaccine and the canine influenza vaccine,” said Avra.

“The influenza vaccine is required at certain

boarding facilities, including Disneyland, and the Lyme vaccine should be administered to dogs in high-tick areas, although yearlong flea and tick prevention is still strongly recommended.”

After giving your pet’s immunity a boost, pet owners should discuss their pet’s diet with their veterinarian, including choosing healthy food options.

“Choosing a pet food can be difficult because of differing opinions, understanding labels and often misleading marketing,” said Avra. “It’s best to pick a pet food that is tailored to their specific lifestyle (maintenance versus growth) and has gone through AAFCO (Association of American Food Control Officials) food trials.”

If your pet is experiencing diarrhea, vomiting or weight gain on a specific food, it is best to talk to your veterinarian.

Reading pet-food labels isn’t always the most accurate way to choose a food option for your pet.

“Pet-food companies are legally allowed to change the ingredients in food as much as they want for up to six months,” said Wright.

“This means the list of ingredients may or may not be accurate.”

According to Wright, the order of the ingredients listed on pet-food labels is based on the weight of the ingredients before it goes into processing.

“This means that if an ingredient weights a lot, like corn, which has a lot of water, it will be listed first, but it isn’t necessarily the most dense thing in the product,” said Wright.

Finally, both Avra and Wright recommend that pet owners do not have to avoid see Healthy page 6B

Everyone knows cats love boxes. You could spend hundreds of dollars on elaborate cat trees and discover your cat will spend the afternoon peering over the box it came in rather than climbing the tree. Why not just buy your cat a box? Famous OTO makes a cardboard ice cream truck that will leave your furry baby feeling like a cool cat. Your cat will love the front, back and side windows that will allow it to spy on bystanders and occasionally dart out – when least expected, of course.

Famous OTO’s ice cream truck for cats is $39, which includes free shipping. For more information, visit www.famousoto.com.

Big or small, no feline can resist the allure of a box, so why not surprise them with their own purr-fect container this holiday season?

Creative scratching post Besides playing in boxes, cats love to scratch things. You can save your curtains and furniture and buy your cat a rad scratcher that will provide plenty of distraction for your kitty as well as funny entertainment for your family.

SUCK UK Cat Playhouse Series makes a DJ turntable cat scratcher with a spinable deck, posable arm and hilarious “I love tuna” and other feline-themed stickers. The DJ Deck is $26.99 on Amazon. For more information, visit goo.gl/Qunfnr.

Furbo camera Have you ever wondered what your pets are up to when you’re not home? If so, the Furbo Dog Camera is the perfect gift. Even though this camera is marketed for dogs, many cat owners have been using it as well. The Furbo is a smart dog camera that lets you see,

talk and toss a treat to your pet when you’re not home. You can check in with your beloved fur baby and give them positive reinforcements, treats and love. The two-way communication system allows you to give your pet commands and will toss a treat in the air, allowing you to play fetch with them while you’re away. The camera, priced at $199, requires a broadband internet connection and has a mobile app, so

you can use to see, talk and play with your pet.

Giving the gift of a home this season AMY SCHRADER

A

lmost every child has dreamed of waking up Christmas morning to find a

puppy nestled under the tree.

Animals make great holiday gifts but require a lot of work, including careful preparation to make your home ready for your new fur baby. It’s a commitment of time spent training your family’s new addition and finances to take care of your pet’s health.

Once you are sure that your family is prepared, the next step is deciding where to purchase your pet.

Adopting from a pet rescue group or the humane society can not only save you money, but it’s also rewarding, because you may save a life.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters each year. Of those, approximately 1.5 million are euthanized annually.

Local animal rescue groups are working to combat this statistic by pulling animals from the euthanasia list and placing them in foster homes until they are adopted.

Since 2012, Animal Rescue Recon (ARR) in Oakley has worked to give unwanted animals a second chance at life.

“Our goal was not just to rescue the cream-of-the-crop dogs from the shelter but those with the greatest need,” said Tamara Reed, ARR president. “To date, we have rescued 1,082 dogs, including many from the euthanasia list whose time had run out, and dogs that needed socialization or had medical needs.”

With a mission of ‘no pet left behind,’ the all-volunteer, all-breed dog rescue group partners with Antioch Animal Services and Contra Costa Animal Control in Martinez as well as the Antioch Vet Hospital and the Brentwood Vet Hospital to locate dogs in need and provide medical services and socialization training.

Home from page 4B They have rescued dogs with a ruptured esophagus or deformed legs as well as dogs that required open-heart surgery or leg amputations and those that were blind and deaf.

“All of our rescues mean the world to us,” said Reed. “Tears are shed at every successful adoption.”

Tears are also shed by those who adopt from the pet rescue group, including the Yurkovich family in Brentwood, who adopted their dog, Nelly, from the group last March.

Nelly and her littermates were in bad shape when they were surrendered to the Martinez Animal Shelter. Nelly had a severe case of mange, which caused her hair to fall out and her skin to be covered in scabs. After no one wanted to adopt her, the shelter called the ARR to see if they’d be willing to foster the puppies until they could be adopted.

“ARR literally saved Nelly’s life,” said Brentwood resident Heather Yurkovich.

“Without them, Nelly wouldn’t be alive today. The amount of time, energy, love and resources involved in what they do is amazing.”

All of the dogs ARR rescues are adoptable. It holds adoption events every Saturday at Pet Food Express, 5829 Lone Tree Way, in Antioch, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

For more information, including a list of pets available for adoption, visit www. animalrescuerecon.com.

Another East County rescue group, Rhodie’s Rescue, started its mission to find loving homes for dogs who were abused, neglected and abandoned or those at risk of euthanasia, in 2016, when the group’s president, Carolynne Steen, came across an abandoned dog left to survive on his own in the farm fields of Knightsen.

Steen tried to lure the frightened dog with turkey and bacon and was finally able to load him in her truck, only to discover he had not had the best life and was a fear biter, which is often a behavior developed from an abusive situation.

Knowing that he would not be a candidate for adoption, the Steens took him in and named him Rhodie.

“He had nerve damage that effected his motor skills, making him clumsy when he tried to run and play, and would often trip over his own feet,” said Steen.

Rhodie lived a long and happy life on the Steen’s ranch, and after he passed away at the age of 15, he inspired Steen to save other dog’s lives in his name.

“All of our rescues have pulled at our heartstrings,” said Steen. “Every dog at the shelter tugs at your heart as you look into the kennels and talk with them.

Every sad eye, every hopeful eye, every frightened eye, every eye that just doesn’t understand why they are there. The worst part for me is walking out of the shelter and only being to take the dogs that we have fosters for and leaving the rest behind.”

Voted the B e for 16 yearsst !

Our goal was not just to rescue the cream-of-the-crop dogs from the shelter but those with the greatest need.

–Tamara Reed, president Animal Rescue Recon All of Rhodie’s Rescue dogs are available for adoption. Adoption events are held every Sunday at Pet Smart, 5879 Lone Tree Way, in Antioch, as well as every Sunday at Pet Food Express, 5829 Lone Tree Way, in Antioch, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. For more information on dogs available for adoption, visit www. rhodiesrescue.org.

other states to provide transportation for animals from shelters to their forever homes.

They also pull animals from kill shelters and take them to no-kill shelters and rescues, as well as provide fosters.

“The one rescue that broke my heart was a beautiful girl in Southern California that was attacked, and half her snout was ripped off,” said Sofie Roman, founder of Paws Crossed Dog Scouts. “We picked her up down south and drove her up north for rehabilitation.

It was 23 hours of straight driving, but she was worth it.”

The group has transported dogs, cats, birds, chickens, squirrels, opossums, owls, snakes, doves and other animals.

“We believe there is a home for every healthy adoptable animal that finds themselves in a shelter, and we provide the freedom ride on the journey to their forever home,” said Roman. “It is a very rewarding ride.”

giving their pet’s grains.

“The large majority of dogs with food allergies are allergic to beef or chicken, not grain,” said Avra. “The grain-free claim is mainly used for marketing purposes by food companies to entice pet owners to buy their product. In fact, when a food is grain-free, it means there is more starch in the diet which can lead to obesity.”

Wright also suggests that pet owners keep an eye on the amount of calcium in food, which can be hard on the kidneys over time. The optimal level is .5 to .75 percent.

Your veterinarian can help you choose food that has the best health benefits for your pet.

Grooming your pet is another important component to their health.

Your pet’s teeth should be brushed as often as possible, ideally every day. There are specific toothbrushes designed for making the job easier.

Clipping your pet’s nails is also important. Pet owners should evaluate their pet’s nails periodically to look for problems and see if they need trimming.

“Neglecting your dog’s or cat’s toenails can lead to painful ingrown claws or a nail that gets ripped off after getting caught on fabric or a bush,” said Avra. “Long toenails can also make it difficult for them to walk.”

When it comes to bathing, less is sometimes more.

“I usually recommend bathing no more than monthly since frequent bathing can dry out the skin and coat,” said Wright. “The

– Dr. Stacey Wright, Antioch Veterinary Hospital exception is when a pet has a particular skin condition that requires medicated baths.

For more information, email contacthalo@ yahoo.com or visit www.eccchalo.org.

Rudolph’s famed red nose almost didn’t come to be. Because a red nose at the time was viewed as a sign of alcoholism, Montgomery Ward was hesitant to be on board with the bulbous, red snout. A blue nose was considered but later changed.

In its first year of publication, Montgomery Ward had distributed 2.4 million copies of Rudolph’s story.

The catchy tune came thereafter, followed by a cartoon short in 1948. In 1964, the stop-motion animated television special further propelled Rudolph to fame and became the most recognizable Rudolph adaptation.

Today, Rudolph is known across the globe as the reindeer responsible for navigating Santa’s sleigh through tricky weather on Christmas Eve. He continues to be loved by many, young and old.

iar with the tale of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

As the lyrics of the song illustrate, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose, and if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

Popularized by the song written by Johnny Marks and sung by Gene Autry, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” dates back to 1939.

A copywriter named Robert L. May created the story of the misfit reindeer in 1939 when working for Montgomery Ward. The retail giant was producing marketing holiday coloring books for children and wanted to come up with a clever character.

Although Rudolph is now beloved, May’s original ideas included Rollo and Reginald. Also,

Lucy is beautiful long-hair female kitten born July, 23. She is a little lover girl who enjoys being held and playing with toys. For more information or to meet this precious girl, contact verleneanddavid@sbcglobal.net.

Meet Mercy Mercy is a very small princess Spaniel mix puppy.

She was born June 5. Her foster says she is funny and very loving. She plays wonderfully with other dogs and already knows how to play fetch with a small ball.

Mercy enjoys running around in the yard and exploring.

She has never been crated at night and sleeps in the bathroom without causing any damage. Mercy is pottypad trained in the house and will also run outside to do her business. She currently weighs 3 pounds but knows how to use the doggie door and will use it often to go in and out. Mercy seems to be very scared of big dogs, so she is looking for a home without large dogs.
