THE PET LOVERS GUIDE | www.thepetloversguide.com

Welcome Pet Lo ers! s we head into the Winter Season, we are reminded of the holidays amongst us and the cold rainy days.

As we get busy with special events or try to stay warm, let us not forget the homeless animals on the streets, in the shelters or those left outside with little to keep them warm. Unfortunately, often people need to be reminded that owning a dog is not just a privilege- it’s a responsibility. These animals depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. If you were unaware, February marks Pet Dental Health Month, the American Veterinary Medical Association‘s (AVMA) annual effort to remind pet lovers to care for their pets’ teeth like they do their own.

It’s also National Prevent a Litter Month.

So, while most people are thinking of hearts and flowers for their loved ones or hats and mittens to help keep them warm, we’d like to remind and encourage people about spay/neuter, the best thing you can do for your pet. It’s also the best way to control homeless Cat Population through TNR (trap neuter release) or RTF (return to field).

A

If you’ve shared your heart and home with a beloved dog or cat, you will feel a great sense of loss and sorrow upon losing your companion. Our Fall issue was dedicated to my mom that lost her sweet Weimaraner, Sadie. Since then, my dear friends Robert & Christopher lost a 2 year old kitty. Carmella was a sweet tortoiseshell princess that I acquired at 3 weeks old. She lived a short but very spoiled and happy life. Beyond that loss, my in-laws had to put their beloved dog Bubba down. Lastly, my soul sister had to put down their family dog, which was also a Weimaraner named Blu. Blu was a well travelled companion for their family and brought much joy to them. As we know, either losing a pet or putting your pet down is never an easy decision to make, but we know they will no longer suffer. Both dogs were 14 years old and lost their lives to Cancer. My condolences go out to Robert & Christopher, The Norton’s and my in-laws, Rick and Mary. I once read ‘’There is no death. Only a change of worlds’’ therefore, I believe we will see them again one day.

Here’s a little poem for you and for all those that have lost a pet, a family member, a companion and friend:

In Our Hearts We thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories, And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping, We have you in our heart.

-Author Unknown For additional Animal Events to celebrate this Winter, Please visit our website for a complete list of dates. In this issue, we’d like to recognize the following: Responsible Dog Ownership, National Prevent a Litter Month (HSUS) and Pet Dental Health Month (AVMA)

Thank you for your continued support and readership.

Sincerely,

Michelle Morris-Adams Owner/Publisher

PREVENT A LITTER Month

ebruary is National Prevent a Litter Month.

Since it’s such an important topic, I’m very glad we have a month to bring it into the spotlight.

F

Everyone knows that the absolute best way to prevent a litter is to have your pets spayed or neutered. I’m not going to get into the spay/neuter debate as some animals cannot be fixed and current research suggests waiting until maturity to fix giant breeds. So how else can we prevent unnecessary litters?

1 2

Understand female heat cycles. A heat cycle lasts anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. Learn the signs that your dog is going into heat.

3

Check your fencing. People with intact male dogs also need to be vigilant. Can your dog escape your fencing?

NEVER allow a female in heat to be unsupervised outside. Never means never. Not even in your fenced backyard. Males are capable of jumping over, digging under, or chewing through fencing to get to a female in heat.

For the vast majority of people, fixing your pets is the BEST way to prevent a litter. Having intact pets requires a lot of work, time, and knowledge. If the cost of fixing your pet seems daunting, check your area for a local spay/neuter clinic or talk to your local shelter. Preventing a litter is only one of many benefits to having your pet fixed.

How else do you think we can prevent a litter?

Pet

Dental Health MONTH

By Bob B. Hamilton

F

ebruary is Pet Dental Health Month.

Its purpose is to enlighten owners in regards to the importance of proper dental health.

Many owners neglect to meet their pet’s dental care needs as they should. Dental care neglect can shorten your pet’s lifespan though.

Any dog or cat can be affected by dental problems regardless of their age or breed. Dental problems commonly lead to illnesses around the body too. The bacteria originating in the mouth can spread to other areas via the bloodstream and lead to heart, liver, lung, or kidney damage.

Although you may not know it, dental disease is considered to be a major health problem. Unlike many other major health problems there may not

be many prominent signs for owners to notice.

Couple potential health issues with the fact dogs and cats have a well-deserved reputation of being able to hide illnesses effectively from other animals and from their owners as well.

If you are paying attention to your pet you may notice a few signs. One of the main signs of poor dental health is bad breath.

Tartar may also build up on the teeth and provide an excellent place for bacteria to breed. The gums may appear swollen and red.

These problems cause a lot of pain for your pet. Therefore, dogs and cats frequently stop eating food due to the pain. If you try to touch their face, they may react in a negative manner.

Owners who notice these signs should seek

Although you may not know it, dental disease is considered to be a major health problem. Unlike many other major health problems there may not be many prominent signs for owners to notice.

veterinarian help soon. The vet will need to clean the teeth properly. After the teeth have been cleaned, your pet will likely feel much better and more importantly avoid experiencing any serious health consequences.

It is vital for pet owners to do their part at home. Invest in a toothbrush and package of toothpaste made specifically for dogs. Clean the teeth every day if you can. Cleaning them at least a few times each week at a minimum is a must.

Also consider investing in chew toys or raw carrots. They will help keep tartar from accumulating on the teeth. There are even water additives you can buy to supplement cleaning the teeth on a routine basis.

Of course, the type of food you feed your dog is very important too. There is an ongoing debate as to whether dry or canned food is the best. One important benefit of dry food is it acts as an abrasive on the teeth to help keep tartar from accumulating. Talk to your veterinarian about your options to ensure your pet maintain good dental health.

DOG Ownership

By M J Plaster

' 6 6 6 6¢ 6 something cute or romantic about bringing that puppy in the window home until they realize that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a modicum of work involved...

ith all the companionship and love that our dogs give so freely, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine that some owners just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take responsibility for their dogs. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Millions of dogs "healthy dogs" are euthanized every year. Whether through owner neglect or

owner ignorance, millions of healthy dogs will endure the same fate this year.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a responsible dog owner to do? The best thing you can do, as a dog owner, is to ensure that your dog doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become a statistic, and you do that through responsible pet ownership.

Welcoming a new dog into your house means taking on additional long-term responsibility.

Many new dog owners find something cute or romantic about bringing that puppy in the window home until they realize that there’s a modicum of work involved in caring for that cute, adorable little face, and a price to pay for those wet, slobbering kisses. You wouldn’t expect to return a baby. Its’ no less wrong to return a dog when the novelty wears off, and it ought to be criminal to leave a dog somewhere on its own. In many ways, dogs are as vulnerable as newborn infants are, but dogs are dependent upon their owners for their entire lives.

Provide Adequate Food and Water – Provide food suited to your dog’s age, size and condition.

years, you’ll be surprised at how much fun it is to try to outsmart your dog— unlikely!

Walk Your Dog – Your dog will let you know when it needs to be walked.

8

Protect Your Dog from Abuse – Animal cruelty is serious business, and in some states, it’s a felony. Even the FBI acknowledged that animal cruelty is a known marker (future indicator) of violence against humans. If anyone in your house intentionally mistreats your dog, seek help immediately. You could thwart the next school shooting.

9

Discourage Aggressive Behavior – You’ll know the difference between hearty play and aggressive behavior.

Contact your vet at the first sign of aggressive behavior to discuss your options.

10

Coping with Serious Illness and Geriatric Dogs – Geriatric dogs are prone to many of the same illnesses that plague geriatric humans. You’ll want to do everything in your power to keep your dog comfortable at the end, but at some point, it may become necessary to end the suffering. If you’ve been a responsible dog owner throughout the dog’s life, you’ll want to end that life just as responsibly as you cared for it.

Listed below you’ll find basic steps to responsible dog ownership, and many of them are just commonsense rules of the road.

Selecting Your Dog – Turn to a local animal shelter or rescue operation to select a puppy or dog. Remember that older dogs need loving owners too.

Refuse to purchase a puppy or dog that started life in a puppy mill.

12

Test Your Dog – Contact a veterinarian and ask him to run the usual series of tests on your new companion.

Spay or Neuter Your Dog – Responsible pet owners always spay and neuter their dogs and cats. There are far more dogs waiting for adoption than there are owners to adopt them.

Provide Medical Care – Aside from the annual physical examination and vaccinations, protect your dog from heartworm, ticks and fleas. Talk with your vet about the many options available today. Contact your vet at the first sign that something is wrong with your dog.

e may be tiny, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a huge heart and an even bigger personality!!!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Pomeranianâ&#x20AC;? is a tiny, two pound ball of fluff who is currently starring in a new movie with actor Dean Cain. The movie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beverly Hills Christmas,â&#x20AC;? is about a very spoiled, rich girl who learns that true happiness is found in helping others, not in material things. Jack plays the very spoiled girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very spoiled dog. Although he is actually a boy, in the movie, the character he plays is a girl dog named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunnyâ&#x20AC;?.

In the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunnyâ&#x20AC;? is a very naughty little dog, who causes lots of mischief.

As â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunnyâ&#x20AC;?, Jack was dressed in over- the â&#x20AC;&#x201C;top, glamorous apparael including rhinestone sunglasses, tutu dresses, faux fur coats, and even jewelry.

This is Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first movie, but he has appeared in TV shows and commercials as well. In his free time, Jack loves riding around in his dog stroller, doing dog yoga, modeling in fashion shows, and has even tried dog surfing!

Jack got his start in acting because his human mom, Shanna Olson, is an actress, and when she would hear about a role for a dog, she would take him on the audition.

January Is National Adopt a Rescued Bird Month!

By Dr. Laurie Hess, DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Avian Practice)

Dr. Laurie Hess gives you the information you need to welcome a new bird into your home.

For more great pet tips, be sure to visit Dr. Laurie’s Facebook page!

You probably didn’t know this, but January is National Adopt a Rescued Bird month, a great time to bring a new feathered friend into your home. There are thousands of abandoned, homeless birds in need of adoption, and with the aid of the Internet, you can actually see and learn about them without ever leaving your house.

With so many birds available, how do you know which one would be right for you? As a bird veterinarian, I of course love all species of birds. However, when it comes to choosing a bird to rescue, I do have a few favorites.

Here is my pick of the top 5 most desirable birds, from smallest to largest, you might want to consider adopting if you are thinking about getting an avian companion: Cockatiel, Caique, African gray parrot, Amazon parrot, Cockatoo.

These are just a handful of the many hundreds of bird species available for adoption. There are many other types of birds each with their own unique attributes. Birds can make terrific, loving, and entertaining pets, but they must be matched to the right kinds of owners in the right kinds of settings to thrive. If you are considering adopting a bird, speak to a bird-savvy veterinarian about proper care and chat with other bird owners about what it’s really like to own a particular species.

My pick of the top 5 most desirable birds, from smallest to largest, you might want to consider adopting if you are thinking about getting an avian companion:

i Cockatiel i Caique

Learn as much as you can before you adopt.

Take a look at sites like www.PetFinder.com to see what kinds of birds need homes, visit local shelters to see what birds are available, and contact bird clubs in your area to see if they have foster birds that need permanent homes. With proper knowledge and planning, you can end up with a fascinating, lovable pet that will potentially be around for you and your family to enjoy for many, many years.

If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian – they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.

Insights and Inspirations…

by Miss Kitty (By Camie Bianchi, Your Home Nursing)

M

iss Kitty got out her notebook and pencil and waited for all the cats to settle. Everyone was there. Fiona, Arthur, Sarge and Sugah’. The grass around the ol’ magnolia tree was deep and cool as the noon sun rose high in the warm blue sky. “Now, you al remember when we met during the holidays, we decided to get together and make a list of all the ways we could volunteer in our community,” said Miss Kitty. “Well, I have a great idea,” said Arthur. “What about helping feed all the old horses that live behind the firehouse?” “That’s wonderful!” said Miss Kitty. “You know, I can remember my mother telling me stories about how the horses used to pull water when there was a fire in town.”

Sarge rearranged himself in the grass, so the sun was on his tummy and said, “Did you all remember that in May, it’s Armed Forces Day? I think we should go over to the Veterans Home. They love to see us and they always have great snacks. We can jump up on the sofas, and hang out. I love it when those ol’ guys play cards, I get to put my paw on the cards and flip them over!”

“What do you think, Fiona?” asked Miss Kitty. “Well, I’d like to volunteer at the Snuggles Kitten Clinic near the hospital,” said Fiona. “All the young mothers can go there and get prenatal help and education. It’s not easy, having five or six new babies all at once! Some of the pregnant cats are kittens themselves.

I just love holding the new kittens and rocking them in the sun.”

Sugah’ adjusted her rhinestone sunglasses on her nose and said, “Well, I’ve been watching Oprah every afternoon and she says the best feeling in the world is giving… “Giving what?” asked Sarge. “Giving of yourself,” said Sugah’. “I think volunteering is a wonderful way to help in our community and it makes each of us better spiritually. Oprah says we should all say thank you every day for all that we have. Imagine, if everyone volunteered one day a week… no matter how busy your life is, it’s not too busy to give. Find something that YOU feel passionate about and volunteer! That’s what Oprah says…”

“So, let’s double check our list and make sure I didn’t leave anything out…

THE PET LOVERS GUIDE | www.thepetloversguide.com

Sarge, you’re going to the Veterans Home, Fiona, you’re going to help the young mothers at the Snuggles Kitten Clinic, Arthur, you’re going to help feed the old horses behind the fire station, and Sugah’ now what are you going to do?” “Well, I’ll keep watching Oprah and report back to the group what she’s doing.” “Hey! Wait just a minute,” said Sarge. “That’s not volunteering!

Come on, Sugah’. What do you feel passionate about?” asked Miss Kitty. “Well, I always watch for the feral cats by the river. I’m worried that they don’t have enough to eat. I’ll ask my mother to get extra food and I’ll take it over to the river everyday.” “That’s great!” they all said at once.

“So, Mss Kitty, what about you?” asked Fiona. “There are so many things I want to do…” said Miss Kitty. “There’s an older lady who lives down the street and I stop and visit with her. Then there’s that retired man that lives behind me, I sit on the fence and talk to him while he gardens. Seems lots of people just like to visit. So, I think I’ll be a visitor to everybody who wants to visit. I think everyone likes it, when you just stop by.”

The sun started drifting toward the west. “Okay,” said Miss Kitty. “We have our plan. Let’s tell everyone we know, to volunteer!” “I have a great idea!” said Sugah’. “Let’s call Oprah and see if she’ll have us on her show. Just think of all the cats that would start volunteering. “I’ll write a letter,” said Arthur. “But, let’s remember she has nine dogs!”

Cold Weather Pet Safety You are probably already aware of the risks posed by warm weather and leaving pets in hot cars, but did you know that cold weather also poses serious threats to your pets’ health?

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe during cold weather: WINTER WELLNESS: Has your pet had his/her preventive care exam (wellness exam) yet? Cold weather may worsen some medical conditions such as arthritis. Your pet should be examined by a veterinarian at least once a year, and it’s as good a time as any to get him/her checked out to make sure (s)he is ready and as healthy as possible for cold weather.

KNOW THE LIMITS: Just like people, pets’ cold tolerance can vary from pet to pet based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, and health. Be aware of your pet’s tolerance for cold weather, and adjust accordingly. You will probably need to shorten your dog’s walks in very cold weather to protect you both from weather-associated health risks. Arthritic and elderly pets may have more difficulty walking on snow and ice and may be more prone to slipping and falling. Long-haired or thick-coated dogs tend to be more cold-tolerant, but are still at risk in cold weather.

Short-haired pets feel the cold faster because they have less protection, and short-legged pets may become cold faster because their bellies and bodies

are more likely to come into contact with snowcovered ground. Pets with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances (such as Cushing’s disease) may have a harder time regulating their body temperature, and may be more susceptible to problems from temperature extremes. The same goes for very young and very old pets. If you need help determining your pet’s temperature limits, consult your veterinarian.

PROVIDE CHOICES: Just like you, pets prefer comfortable sleeping places and may change their location based on their need for more or less warmth.

Give them some safe options to allow them to vary their sleeping place to adjust to their needs.

STAY INSIDE. Cats and dogs should be kept inside during cold weather. It’s a common belief that dogs and cats are more resistant than people to cold weather because of their fur, but it’s untrue. Like people, cats and dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia and should be kept inside. Longerhaired and thick-coated dog breeds, such as huskies and other dogs bred for colder climates, are more tolerant of cold weather; but no pet should be left outside for long periods of time in below-freezing weather.

It’s a common belief that dogs and cats are more resistant than people to cold weather because of their fur, but it’s untrue.

chemicals and reduce the risk that your dog will be poisoned after (s)he licks them off of his/her feet or fur. Consider using pet-safe deicers on your property to protect your pets and the others in your neighborhood.

COLLAR AND CHIP: Many pets become lost in winter because snow and ice can hide recognizable scents that might normally help your pet find his/her way back home. Make sure your pet has a wellfitting collar with up-to-date identification and contact information. A microchip is a more permanent means of identification, but it’s critical that you keep the registration up to date.

MAKE SOME NOISE: A warm vehicle engine can be an appealing heat source for outdoor and feral cats, but it’s deadly. Check underneath your car, bang on the hood, and honk the horn before starting the engine to encourage feline hitchhikers to abandon their roost under the hood.

CHECK THE PAWS: Check your dog’s paws frequently for signs of cold-weather injury or damage, such as cracked paw pads or bleeding.

During a walk, a sudden lameness may be due to an injury or may be due to ice accumulation between his/her toes. You may be able to reduce the chance of iceball accumulation by clipping the hair between your dog’s toes.

STAY HOME: Hot cars are a known threat to pets, but cold cars also pose significant risk to your pet’s health. You’re already familiar with how a car can rapidly cool down in cold weather; it becomes like a refrigerator, and can rapidly chill your pet. Pets that are young, old, ill, or thin are particularly susceptible to cold environments and should never be left in cold cars. Limit car travel to only that which is necessary, and don’t leave your pet unattended in the vehicle.

PREVENT POISONING: Clean up any antifreeze spills quickly, as even small amounts of antifreeze can be deadly. Make sure your pets don’t have access to medication bottles, household chemicals, potentially toxic foods such as onions, xylitol (a sugar substitute) and chocolate.

PROTECT FAMILY: Odds are your pet will be spending more time inside during the winter, so it’s a good time to make sure your house is properly pet-proofed. Use space heaters with caution around pets, because they can burn or they can be knocked over, potentially starting a fire. Check your furnace before the cold weather sets in to make sure it’s working efficiently, and install carbon monoxide detectors to keep your entire family safe from harm. If you have a pet bird, make sure its cage is away from drafts.

AVOID ICE: When walking your dog, stay away from frozen ponds, lakes and other water. You don’t know if the ice will support your dog’s weight, and if your dog breaks through the ice it could be deadly.

And if this happens and you instinctively try to save your dog, both of your lives could be in jeopardy.

PROVIDE SHELTER: We don’t recommend keeping any pet outside for long periods of time, but if you are unable to keep your dog inside during cold weather, provide him/her with a warm, solid shelter against wind. Make sure that they have unlimited access to fresh, non-frozen water (by changing the water frequently or using a pet-safe, heated water bowl). The floor of the shelter should be off of the ground (to minimize heat loss into the ground) and the bedding should be thick, dry and changed regularly to provide a warm, dry environment. The door to the shelter should be positioned away from prevailing winds. Space heaters and heat lamps should be avoided because of the risk of burns or fire.

Heated pet mats should also be used with caution because they are still capable of causing burns.

PLAY DRESS-UP: If your dog has a short coat or seems bothered by the cold weather, consider a sweater or dog coat. Have several on hand, so you can use a dry sweater or coat each time your dog goes outside. Wet sweaters or coats can actually make your dog colder. Some pet owners also use booties to protect their dog’s feet; if you choose to use them, make sure they fit properly.

WIPE DOWN: During walks, your dog’s feet, legs and belly may pick up deicers, antifreeze, or other chemicals that could be toxic. When you get back inside, wipe down (or wash) your pet’s feet, legs and belly to remove these

RECOGNIZE PROBLEMS: If your pet is whining, shivering, seems anxious, slows down or stops moving, seems weak, or starts looking for warm places to burrow, get them back inside quickly because they are showing signs of hypothermia. Frostbite is harder to detect, and may not be fully recognized until a few days after the damage is done. If you suspect your pet has hypothermia or frostbite, consult your veterinarian immediately.

BE PREPARED: Cold weather also brings the risks of severe winter weather, blizzards and power outages. Prepare a disaster/emergency kit, and include your pet in your plans. Have enough food, water and medicine (including any prescription medications as well as heartworm and flea/tick preventives) on hand to get through at least 5 days.

FEED WELL: Keep your pet at a healthy weight throughout the winter.

Some pet owners feel that a little extra weight gives their pet some extra protection from cold, but the health risks associated with that extra weight don’t make it worth doing. Watch your pet’s body condition and keep them in the healthy range. Outdoor pets will require more calories in the winter to generate enough body heat and energy to keep them warm – talk to your veterinarian about your pet’s nutritional needs during cold weather.
