HOWELLVILLE ROAD BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT weather delays, construction

didn't begin until October 2020.

On July 1, 2021, work was completed on a project that included removal and replacement of the old historic Howellville Road Iron Truss Bridge over the Norfolk-Southern railroad tracks near the Field of Dreams and Berwyn PECO complex along Howellville Road in Tredyffrin Township.

Construction began on October 19, 2020, and was completed on July 1, 2021. The project was funded 80% by the Municipal Bridge Retro-Reimbursement Program (MBRP) from the DVRPC and PADOT, as well as 20% funds from Tredyffrin Township and Norfolk-Southern.

Construction Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued to our contractor, Lobar Site Development, in January 2020.

Work was expected to begin in April 2020, and originally scheduled to be completed in October 2020, but due to COVID19, utility relocations, and

Now that the Howellville Road Bridge is completed, the new bridge will provide a wider bridge deck with two minimum 10-ft lanes and two 5-ft shoulders (30ft in total) versus the previous 19.5-ft width. This will allow for safer movement of motorists, cyclists, and other users. If you

DRUMMERS LANE CULVERT PROJECT

by Stephen Burgo, P.E., Township Engineer

The Drummers Lane Culvert Project is well underway. Construction began in May to remove and replace the existing stream culvert bridge across Trout Creek. The project is expected to last through September 2021.

The entire culvert across Drummers Lane, including the headwall/endwall sections, were lifted and set in place, but there is still a lot of work left to be done. This major step was completed on time before the 4th of July. Stay tuned to the Township website (www.tredyffrin.org) for more project updates.

In addition, the contractor installed the culvert and headwall/endwall on the upstream and downstream portions of the culvert.

For the 4th of July, the pre-cast bolts for the future guide rail posts displayed holiday colors.

A lift crane was delivered and setup on July 1st. The pre-cast concrete culvert was lifted in sections and installed on July 2nd along Trout Creek on Drummers Lane.

SALON H a i r S a l on

A revolutionary salon concept has opened its doors to residents of the Main Line. Its name is Salon Essential, brought to life by a quartet of professional stylists namely, Jenny Yu, Debbie Eddine, Desiree Leets, Jessi Fox, and John Martino. This group has bonded at another local establishment. When the business shuttered due to the pandemic, the team refused to let their special bond dissolve and decided instead to create a new opportunity for themselves.

As one might expect from a salon comprised of top stylists, Salon Essential offers high caliber product lines, including Kevin Murphy, Pureology, Pulp Riot, Nioxin, and Redken.

What sets this group apart has nothing to do with experience or high end products. Rather it's the heart each member brings to the table - or, better put - the chair. They are a great team because they actually care. They don't have corporate policies they have to follow. They don't have to rush to finish a cut in 20 minutes. They can spend time with each client.

They are modern and high end, but they keep the prices for their services affordable. They want to let people know that they are here for them even during these crazy times.

Everyone deserves pampering!

Would you like to amaze friends and family by making an object actually become invisible right in front of their very eyes?

Here at Tredyffrin Township Television (TTTV), we will teach you how. You'll also learn the whys and wherefores of motion picture-taking, how to shoot 'n cut (Ouch!), why light loves its own absence, why most of your picture goes in your ears, why windows often let too much outside in, why it's good that Bruce drowned early, and why you can't help but hear poor Wilhelm scream.

can be seen on Comcast 15 & 964, Verizon 24, VOD @ https://tredyffrin.viebit.com.

We guarantee fun, laughter, new skills, and a heightened appreciation of TV and film production that will last long after you leave the Greenwood Studio. Of course, you could also stay put now that you and your crew are certified. Why not create your very own non-commercial program or series to share on Comcast, Verizon, and on our cloud as video-on-demand?

The mission of Tredyffrin Township Television's Public Access opportunity is to provide the citizens of the Township with the facilities, equipment, training, and support necessary to create, produce and telecast non-commercial television programs by, for, and about the Township.

Such programming will be aimed at the preservation, development, and enhancement of the diversity of thought, culture, and heritage within the community.

Our classes are free to Tredyffrin residents and crewmembers of shows produced by Tredyffrin residents.

Every taping, according to the physical demands of the production, requires a certain number of certified crew members to safely tape a show. At least three certified crew members, one of whom must be a Tredyffrin resident Lead Certified Producer, are recommended for a three-camera studio taping. The number of crew members required for any field production will be determined by the Studio Manager at the time of the equipment loan. The basic determining factor will always be how many pairs of hands are necessary to keep talent, crew, and equipment safe.

According to demand, participation may be limited to early registrants. If such is not the case, register by 5 PM Friday, September 10th, at TTTV@tredyffrin.org or by calling Studio Manager Gene Donahue at 610-4083633. Inquiries are welcome. Dates and availability may be subject to change.

Only certified crew members may use our facilities and equipment. Classes are held at the Greenwood Studio in the Tredyffrin Township Building at 1100 DuPortail Road in Berwyn. Students may attend either the Tuesday evening or the Saturday noon class, and that selection may change week to week. Space may be limited to first registrants. Classes may be cancelled if attendance is low.

STORMWATER ADVISORY TASK FORCE FALL UPDATE

The Task Force held its first public meeting since the start of the pandemic on June 23rd in the just re-opened Keene Hall. Over 60 residents came out to hear an update on the Task Force activities and findings, and to offer suggestions for priorities and approaches. Many residents spoke vividly about the issues they experience and provided important feedback to improve the Task Force data and understanding. The Task Force has followed up directly with many residents.

As a reminder, in late 2019, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Task Force to help characterize the run-off problems in the Township and to provide recommendations to the Board.

Unfortunately, the pandemic restrictions delayed the work and opportunities for public engagement, but now conclusions are beginning to come together. The Task Force has built a comprehensive database of stormwater problems throughout the Township based on the resident survey data, first responder and Township input, plus many site visits and other resident input. Issues are widespread, occurring in all 6 main and 15 defined sub-watersheds.

Possible solutions were scoped based on projects completed or designed in Tredyffrin and on prior watershed studies.

In parallel with this work, Task Force subteams have performed in-depth analysis of other municipalities' approaches to managing and funding their stormwater issues. In addition, Township ordinances are being reviewed for opportunities to require more run-off management and for possible ways in which additional tree canopy, a key to slowing and absorbing run-off, can be encouraged, along with other resident education programs. The resident meeting focused on flooding and damage issues, possible projects, and funding scenarios; the other work will be reviewed in a subsequent meeting.

It is important to place the Task Force work in flooding reduction improvements (shown in green) in the broader context of two other costly stormwater management challenges facing the Township:

22

TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP

a) implementation of a 5-year sediment reduction plan to meet Pennsylvania's “MS4” permit requirements, and b) rehabilitating the Township's aging stormwater infrastructure. It will be up to the community, through our Board of Supervisors, to determine the “Level of Service” it is willing to fund.

The graphic here illustrates the financial reality given the state MS4 mandate as a required expenditure. If sufficient stormwater funding is not obtained, then the flood-reduction spending will need to be significantly limited.

Although none of the recommendations are final, some conclusions are beginning to come into focus.

1) Responsibility

The Township is not in a position to solve all the problems that residents experience. In particular, our roadways and their underlying stormwater infrastructure are owned by many

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS · TO ADVERTISE CALL 610-265-6277

agencies. These include the Turnpike Commission, PennDOT, the Township, commercial properties, and homeowner associations. Those agencies have the responsibility to ensure that the underlying stormwater infrastructure is both sufficient and adequately maintained. Furthermore, many properties contain stream channels and/or lie in natural flood plains, which are part of the natural hydrology of the area. Also, many privately owned properties may be the source of point run-off to neighbors or to Township roads and systems.

Nevertheless, the Township is responsible for its own systems (for which the Task Force believes a more expansive definition should be considered), and has the expertise, scope, and scale to act as an advocate for itsresidents.

2) Solutions

Problems can be addressed by improving conveyance systems (for example, by increasing or building capacity, or by better capture) or by reduction of the volume reaching the systems or streams. Often a problem can be ameliorated by underground infiltration systems located upstream.

However, a final plan should consider how all potential projects will interact, also recognize that large scale downstream problems may need multiple upstream solutions, and indeed that no set of solutions will completely remove all stormwater risk.

Also, many privately owned properties may be potential sites for improvement projects but may need help with project design and obtaining partners and grants. ...continues on page 24

A fee program would require additional study, and the Task Force outlined many keys to successful implementation should the Township decide to pursue it.

The Task Force believes that the Township should carefully consider the development of a comprehensive stormwater management strategy that includes elements such as these. Specific near-term actions can include commissioning the already budgeted but deferred engineering study (targeted to identified high priority issues), undertaking a stormwater fee study, and moving immediately to implement low cost/high impact projects.

Comments should be directed to the Task Force at stormwatertaskforce@gmail.com.

Turning Rain into Pollinator Habitat

Using funds from an Audubon mini-grant, members of the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) and Citizen's Stormwater Task Force have begun transforming the flower bed along the sidewalk of the Tredyffrin Library into a native plant garden. The area features over half a dozen different pollinator-friendly native plants and a newly-installed 55 gallon rain barrel, which waters the area via a soaker hose. Rain barrels are an easy way to reduce residential stormwater runoff. Not only are they a free and sustainable source of water for your garden, they also reduce the volume of water running into our overloaded storm drain system, and they are relatively easy to install! A simple diverter is installed into a downspout, directing some rain into the barrel. Once the barrel is full, an overflow tube allows the water to flow back into the downspout, preventing the barrel from overflowing. A spigot with an optional soaker hose allows for convenient access to the stored water when needed.

world, most insects tend to be specialists.

Entomologists have found that 90% of insects can only thrive with plants with which they share an evolutionary history.

While more bugs are not often at the top

More projects are on the horizon: a rain garden is scheduled to be installed at Tredyffrin Library this fall, the Stormwater Task Force intends to propose a Township Tree Canopy Plan at its next meeting, as well as a variety of educational and volunteer opportunities. If you would like to learn more and/or get involved, please check out: https://www.tredyffrin.org/boards/ environmental-advisory-council https://www.tredyffrin.org/projects/ stormwater-task-force

Why plant natives?

A “native” plant is a plant indigenous to the area in which it grows and, because the plant evolved to be part of the environment, is a part of that location's food web. While plants can adapt to a

of most people's wish lists, insects are an important indicator of the health of an environment including our own backyards!

Doug Tallamy, an entomologist at the University of Delaware, estimates that 86% of the land east of the Mississippi is private property. Every space where we can add native plant life, whether it be libraries, back yards, or parking lots, increases and supports the biodiversity of our own community.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION Preserve · Protect · Perpetuate

Pearl M. Nudy, Historical Commission Member

The Historical Commission are happy to report that the Mount Zion AME Church in Devon will be awarded a $35,220 Keystone Historic Preservation Grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to restore the building's beautiful stained-glass windows. We are grateful to all those who helped the Church secure this Grant. In addition, we are happy to report that after publication of last quarter's Tredyffrin newsletter story regarding Mount Zion Church's needs, several readers contributed to the Church fundraising, and we thank them!

Had you noticed? During the months of June and July, members of the Historical Commission walked and drove through a few of the Township's historic neighborhoods. Clipboards in hand and walking the sidewalks, the volunteer commissioners familiarized themselves with buildings listed in the Township Historic Resources Survey.

One important role of the Commission is to document pertinent and interesting information about the known historic properties within the Township. But this is not limited to just buildings. Historical viewscapes, railroad stations and roadways, cemeteries, and bridges all contribute to the Township's built heritage.

The way to assess the condition of these treasures is with some good old fashioned “walk-abouts”.

TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP

Commission members worked in pairs to canvas the designated historic locales.

From a “street view”, they recorded current information, such as style of architecture and modifications, current use of the structure, and most importantly whether the building is still standing. The last time this type of historic recon was undertaken was more than 20 years ago, in 2003.

Periodic review of the historic survey is necessary to sustain the Township's historic preservation designation as a Certified Local Government (CLG). The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in Harrisburg recognizes Tredyffrin Township as one of 45 CLG communities in Pennsylvania, out of more than 2,600 municipalities in the Commonwealth.

As explained by the Federal and State funding sources: “Community certification opens doors to funding, technical assistance, and other preservation successes…. Being a CLG demonstrates your community's commitment to saving what is important from the past for future generations. As a certified community it becomes easy to demonstrate a readiness to take on successful preservation projects, making your community able to compete for new opportunities!” US National Park Service “…the CLG program gives municipalities the option of strengthening local historic preservation activities through exclusive

THE MAURICE STEPHENS HOUSE

Sarah Reisert, Volunteer, Valley Forge Park Alliance

Honoring The Past And Looking To The Future

The Maurice Stephens House is located just across Route 23 from Washington Memorial Chapel, on the lands of Valley Forge National Historical Park's Grand Parade. According to the incised date stone found in the upper portion of the building's original east gable wall, the main portion of the house was constructed in 1816.

Oral history recorded in 1850 in Henry Woodman's The History of Valley Forge indicates that the property was the site of Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington's quarters during the Valley Forge winter encampment. The Provincial tax record for the property indicates that in 1769 the property was occupied by one Zachariah Davis, and it was likely Davis' log house which Woodman states served as General Huntington's quarters. Woodman goes on to state that there were a number of huts erected on the property as well, one of which was occupied by General von Steuben, who would drill soldiers on what would become the Stephens property.

Maurice Stephens is first listed in the Provincial tax record for the property in the year 1779, but it is not known exactly when he moved in. After building the stone house that is the heart of the structure we see today in 1816, he sold the property in 1825, two years before his death. It passed through the hands of four other owners before becoming part of Valley Forge State Park in 1919. Initially, it continued to be utilized as a farm and the barn home to a flock of 115 sheep that helped keep the grass down in the Park. Over the years it

served as ranger dormitories, Park offices, and even a nature center, but the house had been vacant since the mid-1990s.

The Stephens House is one of many (and one of the most prominent) historic structures that the Park aims to lease through its adaptive reuse program.

Through this program, the Park puts historic structures back into use while realizing rental income that it can then use to rehabilitate other structures.

Because of the Stephens House's prominent location in the Park, Park leadership saw it as the ideal home for the Valley Forge Park Alliance.

The beautiful building contains ample space to house the Alliance's offices and is well suited to serve as a hub of Park activities that would draw attention to the Alliance and its efforts to assist the Park. It will also feature a café operated by ANEU in Paoli, creating a refreshing oasis for weary travelers in the very heart of the Park.

The Alliance convened the Maurice Stephens Advisory Group one year ago.

The group is comprised of community leaders with expertise in construction, fundraising, leasing, and the small businesses that could partner with the Alliance in this space so that it can once again welcome visitors. They are working hand-in-hand with the Alliance and Park leaders to finalize the construction plans, agree on lease terms that satisfy both entities, plan the public use of the space,

and raise the funds required to make it all happen.

“VFPA's rehabilitation and operation of the Maurice Stephens house would serve as a shining example of the capacity of publicprivate partnerships to restore and breathe new life into historic structures,” said the Park's business manager, Patrick Madden.

The Alliance couldn't agree more, and they are eager to welcome you to their new home once the doors open sometime in 2023.

THE JONES LOG BARN LIVING HISTORY CENTER

What is a Historic Barn Museum Without Antique Farm Equipment?

Pattye Benson, President, Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust

In the Spring, I was contacted by Fred and Lura Wampler, longtime township residents and owners of “Little Place Farm” in Wayne, their home for fifty years. Also known as the Lewis Walker Farm, the c.

1736 house served as General Enoch Poor's quarters during the occupancy of Valley Forge by Washington's army in the winter of 1777-78. In addition to the beautiful stone farmhouse, there are several outbuildings on the Wampler's property, including a wonderful stone and wood bank barn, the “Walker Barn”, built over 250 years ago.

Since purchasing Little Place Farm in 1971, the Wampler's have collected antiques, including vintage and collectible farm tools and equipment. Fred and Lura kept tabs on the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust's rebuilding efforts of the Jones Log Barn in Chesterbrook and, as it neared completion, they reached out to me with a generous offer. Many of the “old house” homeowners in the community know one another and the Wampler's and I go back many years. In fact, their wonderful historic farm was a featured stop on the Trust's annual historic house tour in 2006. They asked if the Jones Log Barn Living History Center could use some antique farm equipment and might I come for a visit to see the items.

antique farm equipment, displays will feature artifacts from the original Jones Log Barn, including historic hardware, doors, and windows. Another exhibit will feature the substantial contribution of local company Eadeh Enterprises to the Jones Log Barn project, the Eadeh and Fritz family stories, and the Fritz Lumber history. The original blue Fritz Lumber Yard sign which hung outside the office and some of the handmade bird houses from the large red Fritz barn are on display.

A display in the Living History Center featuring a variety of early farm equipment and tools.

With much gratitude to the Wampler's, the Living History Center will be a real farm museum when it opens and will include a full array of antique and collectible tools and equipment on display. The generous donation includes over thirty early Chester County farm items, including a c. 1860 red painted wood churn, an early 18th century primitive grape wine press, two original Conestoga wagon wheels from the early 1800's, and a c. 1860 wooden grain thresher, just to name a few.

Currently in the final building inspection phase, the Jones Log Barn Living History Center will soon open to the public. The exhibits will help visitors understand the 18th century history of the Jones Log Barn and its rebuilding process, including the unique log construction. In addition to 30

SENIOR LIFESTYLES Mysteries Of Medicare: Creating A Mymedicare Account Pennsylvania Education and Decision Insight, PA MEDI Program Chester County Department of Aging Services

A MyMedicare account is a helpful online tool that you, as a Medicare beneficiary, can access easily.

There are a number of useful features of these accounts: Probably the most frequently used feature is the ability to enter, save, and edit a list of your prescription drugs and preferred pharmacies. This simplifies using the Medicare Plan Finder to compare Part D (prescription) and Part C (Medicare Advantage) plans during the Annual Open Enrollment Period (Oct. 15 through Dec. 7). Without an account, you must enter your drug list each time you want to check your coverage. Even if you aren't a regular computer user, having this available will be a big help to an APPRISE counselor or other person helping you shop for your next plan.

Preventing Falls When you're young, often the biggest injury you may receive from a fall is redfaced embarrassment. As we get older, physical changes, health conditions, and medications make falls more likely. In fact, every second of every day, an older adult (age 65+) falls in the U.S. Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. That's why it's important to reduce the risk of falling by considering six simple fall-prevention strategies recommended by the Mayo Clinic.

1) Make an appointment with your doctor Begin your fall-prevention plan by making an appointment with your doctor. Be prepared to answer questions such as: What medications are you taking?

Make a list of your prescription and over-the-counter medications or bring them with you to the appointment. Your doctor can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling.

Have you fallen or almost fallen before?

Write down the details, including when, where and how you fell or almost fell.

Details such as these may help your doctor identify specific fall-prevention strategies.

Could your health conditions cause a fall? Certain eye and ear disorders may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss your health conditions and how comfortable you are when you walk for example, do you feel any dizziness, joint pain, numbness or shortness of breath when you walk.

With your doctor's OK, consider activities such as walking, water workouts or tai chi - a gentle exercise that involves slow and graceful dance-like movements. Such activities reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.

3) Wear sensible shoes Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan. High heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can make you slip, stumble and fall. So can walking in your stocking feet. Be sure to buy properly fitting, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles that are not too thick. Choose lace-up shoes instead of slip-ons, and keep the laces tied.

4) Remove home hazards Take a close look around your home. To make your home safer remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from walkways. Move coffee tables, magazine racks and plant stands from high-traffic areas. Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing - or remove loose rugs from your home. Use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower.

5) Light up your living space Keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see.

Place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom and hallways and place a lamp within reach of your bed for middle-of-the-night needs. Store PLEASE SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS · TO ADVERTISE CALL 610-265-6277

flashlights in easy-to-find places in the event of a power outage.

6) Use assistive devices Your doctor might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady.

Other assistive devices can help, too.

Hand rails for both sides of stairways Nonslip treads for bare-wood steps A raised toilet seat or one with armrests Grab bars for the shower or tub A sturdy plastic seat for the shower or tub An investment in fall prevention enables everyone to retain health and independence.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Navigating through breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.

No woman wants to be called back after having a mammogram, but when there is a suspicious finding additional imaging may be needed, usually an ultrasound or other mammography images. If this imaging also shows a suspicious finding, a biopsy is typically recommended, and a breast cancer nurse navigator meets with the patient. As a rule, patients with an abnormal diagnostic mammogram or a new breast lump are seen by a Main Line Health breast surgeon within 48 hours to determine the optimal biopsy approach.

"This process can produce a lot of anxiety for patients," says Laura Bruce, lead breast cancer nurse navigator for Main Line Health. "We are here to provide education and support. We tell people what to expect with the biopsy and set them up to meet with a breast surgeon. If they do have breast cancer, we will stay with them throughout their treatment.”

Breast cancer nurse navigators provide individualized guidance and support to patients, families and caregivers throughout treatment, from breast cancer screening through breast cancer survivorship. A nurse navigator is a registered nurse who acts as a liaison between patients and their health care providers.

"Cancer is a complex disease, and many people may be involved with a patient's care," says Bruce. "It can be overwhelming to a family. We help coordinate care, assist with appointments and explain testing and treatments. We help connect families with genetic counselors. We help patients find community resources, and work closely with oncology social workers. We also connect patients with integrative care such as reiki and acupuncture. Patients should never feel they are walking this path alone. We are by their side throughout.”

Nurse navigators further play a significant role in developing survivorship plans for patients. Survivorship focuses on the health and well-being of a person with cancer during and after treatment, from the time of diagnosis, and including education around cancer screening and connection to community resources.

Patients who receive survivorship care: Gain a better understanding of how to monitor for signs of recurrence Identify signs of late treatment effects Collaborate with their health care providers to prevent disease Report less stress Experience improvement in their quality of life "Supporting mental, physical, social and emotional health is an integral part in overall wellness. Our survivorship program offers educational seminars, support groups for patients and caregivers, nutrition seminars and a lecture series called Thriving During and After Cancer Treatment. Feeling supported and connected can play an important role in a patient's well-being," Bruce adds.

The Main Line Health Breast Cancer Program offers advanced treatment for breast cancer along with coordinated, compassionate care every step of the way.

Main Line Health Cancer Care serves patients at hospitals and health centers throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond. To schedule an appointment with a breast cancer specialist at Main Line Health, call 484.476.3333.

PET HEALTH & WELL-BEING

My Dog Stopped Eating!

Here are some common reasons.

What are some common reasons for a dog to stop eating?

When a dog stops eating it is referred to as anorexia. Dogs can become anorexic for many reasons. Sometimes it is an indication of a gastrointestinal issue. This could range from a simple cause like gastroenteritis to a more serious issue like gastrointestinal neoplasia or cancer.

Gastroenteritis often occurs when dogs eat something out of the ordinary, from a new food or treat to getting into the garbage or ingesting something outside. Loss of appetite can also be a sign of other systemic illnesses such as kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, and numerous other medical issues.

What illnesses are associated with a dog not eating?

There are countless medical causes for a dog to stop eating. Some are simple and can resolve spontaneously or get better with some simple medical intervention while others are more serious and require more extensive testing and treatment. The most common reason that we see dogs stop eating is gastroenteritis. This is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that occurs in dogs most commonly when they eat something out of the ordinary.

More serious causes tend to result in a more gradual or persistent loss of appetite.

These might include renal disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, and many other systemic illnesses.

Can a change in surroundings affect a dog's appetite?

A change in surrounding can affect a dog's appetite temporarily. If you have a dog who is easily stressed or normally has a picky appetite, then moving to a new home, boarding, or being cared for in another home could cause a dog to eat less or refuse food for a few days. But an otherwise healthy dog will eat when she is hungry or accept tempting food like chicken, ground beef, or treats.

source (such as chicken or beef) used in food. The most common symptom of food allergies is actually itchiness of the skin.

There are special prescription veterinary diets formulated with novel protein sources (duck, salmon, venison) or hydrolyzed proteins that are used to treat food allergies.

How can dental issues affect a dog's appetite?

Dental issues should not affect your dog's appetite. Dogs are good at eating in a way to avoid oral pain. Dental issues can affect your dog's comfort when eating (he may drool excessively or have trouble picking up or chewing food), but he will still feel hungry and should show interest in food when it is offered.

How long can a dog go without eating?

A dog can go for several days without eating and it does not cause bodily harm.

Cats are very different and should not go more than 2 or 3 days without eating. Of course, both dogs and cats cannot go without drinking for more than a day or two without suffering dehydration.

What are food issues dog experience?

The most common food issue that we see

When is it necessary to see a specialist about your dog not eating?

If your dog stops eating, you can wait a day or two to see if his appetite returns. If your dog is experiencing other symptoms, like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy he should be evaluated by a veterinarian within 24 hours. If your dog has a persistent loss of appetite and has seen either your primary veterinarian or an emergency veterinarian, has had initial testing done (bloodwork, x-rays, ultrasound), and has not responded to initial medical therapy, then he should be seen by a specialist. The type of specialist depends on the results of initial testing and could range from an Internal Medicine Specialist to a Dermatologist, or a Surgeon.

in veterinary medicine is often referred to as a food allergy. This occurs when a pet has a hypersensitivity to a certain protein
