acations can be stressful enough – worrying about the family pet back home

should not be something you focus on while out of town. With local options for pet boarding and daycare, your fur baby can always be in good hands.

Marc Beeson is opening a franchise of Camp Bow Wow in Brentwood this fall. His camp is currently in the construction phase and once done, will offer boarding, day play and grooming services.

“We are all about the dogs,” said Beeson. “We are a franchise that believes in transparency – all of our play yards have video cameras and we have an app so you can watch your dog play just by getting onto your phone.”

Beeson recently retired after 28 years as a federal law enforcement agent. He said he chose canine care because it fit with his family culture.

“We have five dogs of our own, my wife is all about dog rescue and we are just all about dogs and taking care of dogs,” Beeson said. “We wanted to give back to the community and I think this will be a

great business for the city of Brentwood.”

While Camp Bow Wow is an urban dog kennel located in the middle of Brentwood, Pets Frolic Inn is a more traditional, country-style kennel on the edge of town. Julia Wilhelm bought the property five years ago and said she loves going to work every day.

“It has been so exciting to open again,” she said, noting the business has been closed since mid-March in accordance with shelter-in-place restrictions. “We have made a few changes – most notably we are contact-less pick up and drop off.”

Wilhelm also said she and her team have been thrilled to be reunited with all their favorite four-legged friends.

“The best thing when you’re feeling a

little blue is to go out to the dog park and just play with the dogs because it’s the best stress relief ever,” she said.

Wilhelm has always been an animal lover, and when the opportunity to purchase the kennel came up, she felt it was serendipitous. She and her family live on the property, which is large and has ample room for dogs to run around.

Walaine Hankins of Discovery Bay has been boarding her dog, Gus, at Pets Frolic Inn for three years. She said she and Gus both appreciate the welcoming atmosphere.

“Gus loves going there,” said Hankins. “He gets excited not only to see his poochie pals, but to see the staff there.

They are very caring, very personable and

They really treat your dog like it’s their dog and that’s what I love about it.

It feels like family.

– Kristen Lenfest, customer they really do take care of the animals.”

Kristen Lenfest also makes the short trip from Discovery Bay to board her 7-year-old lab-mix, Cooper, at the inn.

Lenfest has utilized both the day care and boarding services and said she would highly recommend both.

“They really love my dog, they love everyone’s dog,” said Lenfest. “They really treat your dog like it’s their dog and that’s what I love about it. It feels like family.”

Camp Bow Wow will be located at 103 Technology Court, suite F, in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-666-9663 or visit https://bit. ly/3hwrYQV. Pets Frolic Inn is located at 4071 Orwood Road in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-634-4431 or visit http://www.petsfrolicinn.com/.

Emergency vets there when you need them We do critical cases, and we take care of transfers from other vet hospitals who can’t handle the cases.

ast Bay Veterinary Emergency (EBVE) is the only emergency animal

hospital serving East County.

For residents of Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay and surrounding areas, EBVE is a one-stop shop for surgeries and crisis situations.

“We do critical cases, and we take care of transfers from other vet hospitals who can’t handle the cases,” said Cari Darmer, hospital manager for EBVE. “We can perform all diagnostics from ultrasounds to X-rays; we have a full in-house lab and can send more difficult lab work out to another lab if necessary.”

Darmer has worked in veterinary hospital administration for 28 years but is relatively new to EBVE, having joined their team in January. She said the hospital has remained open since the shelter-in-place ON THE COVER: Dr. Jennifer Lew, left, and Operations Manager Frances Quizon, (with Eros), are part of the team at VCA East Bay Veterinary Emergency in Antioch.

“We are doing curbside pickups, and clients are not allowed in the hospital right now, except for euthanasia,” Darmer said.

She noted EBVE is singular in making that exception, causing their euthanasia

appointments to spike.

EBVE is also a teaching hospital — groups of intern veterinarians join the staff for a one-year program to be supervised by the hospital’s senior doctors.

Devon England joined the program 11 months ago and is nearing the end of her internship. She said she appreciated

having the opportunity to work with so many different animals.

“It was a really great program,” England said. “We get to work here and be creative, because there is a lot more diversity of clients. I loved it, and I’m staying on as a doctor here.”

England also said the vets at the hospital, both new and senior, work hard to offer their clients everything they can while understanding budget restrictions.

“We understand financial limitations, and we do the best thing we can for the pets within those limitations,” Darmer said.

aking sure your pet looks their best is part of the fun of having a four-

legged friend.

When looking for some help in the grooming department, East County residents need look no farther than their own neighborhoods.

Doggie Depot in Brentwood has a longer history of pleased pups than any other groomer in the area. Established

by Randae Bither in 1983, the Depot has groomed generations of dogs.

“It’s all about the pet’s experience,” said Bither of her longevity. “We don’t rush the pets or push things that are too much for the pets. We want them to have a good time; it’s spa day.”

Bither said she and her employees are happy to be seeing their clients, both furry and otherwise, again. They reopened on June 2 after being closed since mid-March due to shelter-in-place restrictions caused

by COVID-19. Some changes in her shop include extra wipe downs of high-contact areas like doorknobs and trying to make pickups and drop-offs contact-less.

“We are finding dogs that had home

Paulette Carson has been taking her labradoodle, Cooper, to Doggie Depot for three years. She said she feels comfortable with the caring atmosphere and receives lots of compliments on her pup’s appearance.

“The people there, Randae in particular — they are very caring and very dedicated,” Carson said. “They work with you very well, with what you want and don’t want as far as grooming. I feel that Cooper is happy there.”

Jamie Bodal of Oakley got her start working at Doggie Depot.

“That was my first and only job, and I pretty much, over time, just came to love what I did,” Bodal said.

Last year, she took a leap and opened Shear Canine in Brentwood. She said she loves her employees, customers and working with dogs.

“My favorite thing is being able to see the dogs walk out, wagging their tails and feeling good, and seeing the smile on the customer’s face,” Bodal said. “I think that’s the biggest reward, seeing how happy the dog and people clients both are.”

Bodal stressed she and her employees

are passionate about caring for dogs and back those feelings up with expert training and educational seminars. She said her business is committed to offering quality grooms, ensuring her dogs look and feel their best.

Both Doggie Depot and Shear Canine have storefront services only, no mobile grooming, and work exclusively with dogs.

Doggie Depot is located at 4505 O’Hara Avenue in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-516-7224 or visit their Facebook page. Shear Canine is located at 6061 Lone Tree Way, suite K, in Brentwood.

Washing hands after handling or being around animals or their waste, food or supplies is one simple preventive measure that can safeguard humans from diseases transmitted by pets. Properly cleaning up after animals is another simple way to reduce the risk of diseases being transmitted by pets. The CDC advises cat owners to scoop cat litter daily and change it at least twice per week. Pregnant women should never clean cat litter. Dog waste should be promptly removed from private and public spaces. When cleaning cages, habitat and pet supplies, do so outside the home to avoid contaminating interior surfaces. When that’s not possible, clean such materials in a laundry room sink or bathtub rather than the kitchen sink.

Ingestion is likely as dogs typically try to lick their skin after sunscreen has been applied, so dog owners must take this warning very seriously.

The AKC also recommends using waterproof sunscreens with a minimum sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30.

Don’t just go all in Before applying sunscreen to a dog’s entire body, pick an area of its body to apply a small amount. Then wait a little while to see if the sunscreen causes an allergic reaction. If it does, wash the product off with water and do not allow the dog to spend ample time outdoors until you find a product that works and does not cause an allergic reaction.

If the dog is not allergic, apply the sunscreen about 20 minutes before going outside, keeping a watchful eye on your pooch to be sure he or she does not lick it off.

Apply the product anywhere pigment is light, and also make sure to get vulnerable areas like the bridge of the nose, ear tips and the skin around the lips, groin and inner thighs.

Reapply after the dog goes swimming and also every four to six hours whether the dog has gone swimming or not.

Dogs are vulnerable to sunburn just like humans. Dog owners must protect their furry friends whenever spending time outdoors.

Applying and reapplying sunscreen, avoiding the outdoors during certain times of the day and drinking plenty of water while outside are just a few of the ways people can safely soak up summer sun. But what about dogs? Should dog owners be equally protective of their four-legged friends before letting them run around in the backyard or fraternize with fellow canines at the nearest dog park?

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), dogs can get sunburned just like their human counterparts. In addition, the AKC notes that sunburn can make dogs more vulnerable to certain types of skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanomas and hemangiomas. Sunburn also can exacerbate pre-existing conditions like autoimmune disorders and dermatitis.

Some dogs may be especially vulnerable While no dog is immune to sunburn, some are more vulnerable than others.

The AKC notes that hairless breeds like the American Hairless Terrier need sun protection whenever they will be outside for extended periods of time. In addition, dogs with white or thin coats and those with light-pigmented noses and eyelids also are especially vulnerable to sunburn. The AKC also says that dogs with thick coats of hair are not immune to sunburn, as many such dogs shed their coats during especially warm weather, thereby making them more vulnerable to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Dog owners can speak with their veterinarians to determine how vulnerable their dogs are to sunburn.

What dog owners can do Dogs can benefit from sunscreen just like their owners. However, dog owners must only apply dog-specific sunscreens to their furry friends. The AKC advises dog owners to avoid applying sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or para-aminobenzoic acid, or PABA, to their dogs, as these can be toxic when ingested.

Ways to prevent lost fur babies

D

espite the sadness, uncertainty and disruption to millions

of people’s lives, the novel coronavirus COVID-19 has provided some silver linings.

One such positive side effect of people being asked to spend more time at home is the opportunity for individuals and families to open their abodes to needy animals.

Pet adoptions have increased as people have found more personal time to devote to companion animals. The Pet Health Network says that people experiencing loneliness from being apart from others often turn to pets to help them feel better. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Virginia brought in 149 animals from high-kill shelters in March 2020 and adopted 134 in a single week, matching the agency’s monthly average. Data on New York City animal shelters indicates that, as of early May 2020, 43.5 percent of shelters were experiencing an increased demand for adoption since the COVID-19 outbreak.

As pet adoptions increase, new pet parents are urged to remember to take every precaution to keep their companions safe and secure. The

The summer months can be a prime time for pets to become lost.

Increased thunderstorms as well as fireworks can frighten pets. summer months can be a prime time for pets to become lost. Increased thunderstorms as well as fireworks displays can frighten pets. Also, more time spent outdoors may make it easier for “escape artists” to find their way out of backyards or get free from leashes.

Thankfully, there are some steps pet owners can take to keep pets safe. ♦♦ ID and collar: Pets should wear collars with attached identification at all times. This should include an up-to-date

contact number. ID tags can be made at pet supply stores or are available at the Animal Humane Society (AHS) facilities. ♦♦ Microchip: Microchips are small devices that are implanted under the pet’s skin. About the size of a grain of rice, microchips emit a low radio frequency that can be read by a handheld scanner. Virtually all vet offices and animal shelters are equipped with scanners. Microchips are designed to last the pet’s lifetime, according to HomeAgain, a microchip company. Once the pet is registered, the chip will link to a record of owner information that can be updated easily online. ♦♦ Sterilization: AHS says studies show that pets that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to roam for mates and potentially get lost. ♦♦ Pet-proof: Homeowners may have to make adjustments to their yards and homes to ensure pets cannot escape.

Some dogs and cats can climb over tall fences or dig underneath. Speak with your veterinarian about how to pet-proof your property. ♦♦ Leash pets: Prey instinct can be high and even the most well-behaved pets may act differently when away from home. A secure collar/harness and leash will help keep pets safe on walks.

n a world that has changed dramatically over the past few months, one local business has held strong – Brentwood Family Pet Care.

Deemed an essential service by the county, the longtime veterinary clinic has remained open during the COVID-19 restrictions, albeit with a few modifications.

“We did all the things the county was suggesting including social distancing, wearing masks and being especially sanitary,” said Rochelle Walker, hospital administrator. “We also offered a nearly curbside pickup for our customers who could drive up, hand off their pet and then communicate with the doctor throughout the visit … We have actually been more busy than usual.”

This year Brentwood Family Pet Care is celebrating their 20th anniversary, and Walker credits the staff and their commitment to their clients as the backbone of their success.

“Any veterinarian can perform an exam or give your pet a vaccine but it is the people that make the difference,” said Walker. “The people that work here care about the clients and their pets, and it shows.”

Although shelter-in-place orders forced the team to forgo an official 20th anniversary party, Walker said they are looking ahead to the next two decades and the thousands of families they serve.

“We have come a long way from one doctor to six,” she said. “And the way we are going it’s full steam ahead.”
