Physio 4 Animals is a service provided by Melanie Haines Veterinary Physiotherapist working in the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire area. As a Chartered Physiotherapist she is regulated by the society of Chartered Physiotherapist (CSP), The health Professional Council (HPC) and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Physiotherapy (ACPAT).
"I work with both large and small animals running clinics in several vets practices as well as do home visits to animals at their owners homes or where horses are stabled. My small animal work is based mainly at Paws4 hydrotherapy, Toton and Dovecote veterinary hospital, Castle donington. I have access to the use of both an Underwater treadmill and a pool to carry out Hydrotherapy if this is judged to be suitable for your animal. I work along side the animal's veterinary care to help rehabilitate animals with a variety of Neurological, Orthopaedic and Degenerative conditions, as well as treating horses and dogs with competition or performance problems."
Each animal is assessed as an individual and all treatment plans are tailored to their needs dependent on their problem and personality. You can find more information about whether physiotherapy may help your animal on this website, or feel free to phone Melanie for an informal chat about your animal.
Costs vary dependent on the type of animal, location that it is seen and the treatment plan. If your animal is insured then most insurance companies will cover the cost of physiotherapy dependent on your policy.
Please phone to discuss your animal and get more information about the cost.

A mini pot-bellied pig as a house pet ?! Well I am pretty convinced that I have a pig living in my house already…. or maybe several !
Seriously though, I have to admit that I was pretty shocked when I first heard that many celebrities have already taken a liking to these mini pigs, and that they are quickly becoming the latest craze in exotic pets. So when I heard that a family member was planning on adopting one, I just had to see for myself what all of the fuss was about. My daughter (who is totally over the moon about this) and I , went on a little ride over the bridge to Bayview Farm in Bourne Massachusetts, to visit with veterinarian and breeder Annette Herbst of New England Tea Cup Piggies and her new litter of Micro-Mini pigs.
Gustav, 2 years old with his little tail wagging as he happily grazed on the front lawn , came over to greet us. He was friendly and curious and didn’t mind me taking lots of pictures. He even smiled in some …don’t you think ?
And this is Olivia ……she was a little afraid of me I think, or else she didn’t like my silly noises. I did see though, that she loves to be snuggled by her Mom Annette.
The little piglets were just 2 weeks old and oh my !! Have you ever seen such adorableness ?! This little piggy was chosen, and he was named Oscar. He is definitely smiling. And so is my daughter because in her mind Oscar will be half her’s…. 🙂
Christine Kuenzel - OMG! They are so cute!


Time For A Cute Puppy
Q: How did Teddy the Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel end up on your big chair for hours?
A: Long story and I've been too wordy recently.
Q: Is Teddy as cute as
A: Of course not. Nothing is as cute as Samye.
Q: OK, then, is Teddy as cute as
A: I think it's a tie.
Q: Does your dog bite?
A: I don't have a dog. Photographs have great
advantages over the real thing.
Q: It seems that every time you interact
with an animal a picture ends up on this blog.
A: Was that a question? You haven't seen Ms. Freckleface Swooshfoot the cat yet. But then my "interaction" has
mostly been watching her run away, and that's only when I manage to see
her at all.

Why should my elderly cat have regular veterinary examinations?
Well it's simple, your cat CANNOT tell you when they are feeling unwell and although to you their primary carer they may look fit and healthy on the outside things are changing on the inside and by having regular examinations it may be possible to detect an illness in the early stages, therefore it may be possible for your vet to start treatment if required.
A simple blood or urine test is a great way of finding out how your cat's kidney's functions are and in most cases can be done at your own vet's in house laboratory. There are more extensive blood test available so it is better to get the advice of a qualified Veterinary Surgeon.
When should I get my cat blood tested?
It is always best to consult your own Veterinary surgeon as each practice has a different protocol for such things but blood testing can be done at any age as it gives your vet something to go on in the future. It is also recommend that they be done on a regular basis but each animal is assessed individually at the time.
Isn't all this going to be costly?
Yes, consultations, blood and urine testing can all be very costly but in my opinion is worth it if it means you getting peace of mind knowing you have done the best you can for your elderly cats.
Some Veterinary practices offer nurses clinics for their clients which means the consultation may be at a reduced rate or free although if you are wanting blood and urine tests you may need an appointment with the veterinary surgeon. Please ask your own vet on charges of such things as they will vary but most are covered by pet insurance, this again would need to be checked with your vet and or pet insurance company as policies may vary.
What changes should I be looking for in my elderly cat?
Weight loss – if the weight loss is sudden it could be an indication that there is a medical problem especially if the cat is eating well.
Drinking – always make a note of how much your cat is drinking prior to taking them for a consultation with your local vet as they will almost always ask if you have noticed a change in you pets drinking. This will also apply to the amount of food the cat is eating each day.
Coat condition – some elderly cats stop grooming themselves so may become matted especially around the tail area, this can be an indication that they are no longer able to turn around to reach the back end so regular grooming is always a good thing and is a good way of interacting with your cat. Some cats may not like to be groomed especially if they are in pain or a bit thin so please be gentle and if your cat is agitated by it (I'm sure you know when your cat is upset) stop for a while and try again later. I always find a grooming mitten is good for elderly cats and doesn't pull at their coat as much as a regular brush or comb might and they just absolutely love it.
Claws – as your cat gets older their nails may get stuck in the carpet,so examine the paws regularly to make sure the nails are not over grown, they can grow so much that they start to go into the pads which is painful and may cause your cat to limp. Your vet will always be happy to trim the nails for you (unless your cat is like Clary and hated having her paws touched), if you are brave enough you could ask your vet/nurse to teach you how to clip the nails especially if they grow quickly as this would save your cats the sometimes stressful journey to the vets.
Toileting – if your cat has always gone outside to use the toilet then please be aware that as they get older it may be necessary to provide a litter tray indoors. Some cats as they get older prefer to go in a area that is safe (this is usual at home), as they are in a vulnerable position anyway. Just imagine how you would feel if you were an elderly cat expected to use the outdoor facilities knowing you were no longer able to run or defend your self as you once did in your younger years.
Cats can also get a little forgetful as they get older so please be patient with them if they have the odd accident around the house and always contact your veterinary surgeon if it becomes an ongoing problem. They will be able to give you advice or put you in contact with someone who may be able to help.
Night time howling – I was once told that cats do not go senile in the same way that dogs do, well I must disagree. I share my home with a number of elder cats and from my own experience senility applies.
You may hear your cat howling at some awful hour of the morning and if your anything like me you'll immediately without a second thought jump out of bed, put all the lights on to check the cats (who by the way will be sitting somewhere looking at you as you fall down the stairs),only to find out that all is well and no-one is hurt.
Cats may wake up from a deep sleep and get confused, its dark, quiet and the person they rely on to keep them warm and safe is no where to be found (or so they think). Just by giving them a bit of re-assurance will often calm them down, I have been know to leave a little light on just in case the little ones need to get up during the night.
Please be careful in these situations!!
Miss Clary may have been senile but she was also very clever and knew that if she started howling no matter what time of day somebody would always go running to her rescue when all she wanted was a cuddle on her terms.
I didn't mind as every minute I spent with her was a huge bonus and I'd decided that as long as I had cats in my life there would always be no or very little sleep most nights.
What other changes will I need to make?
One of the most important things for any elderly animal is to make sure they have a warm comfortable place to sleep (though I'm sure most of your cats have already taken over your favourite spots), but in some cases they still prefer to sleep on cold surfaces which although may be what they want it isn't entirely good for them especially if they suffer from arthritis.
Providing a hot water bottle (safely wrapped in a towel of course) or a heat pad (these are easily obtainable from many shops) will give your cat both a warm and comfortable place to sleep with the option of getting off if things get a little hot. There are also special beds called fleck-ta-beds which reflect the bodies own heat.
A few of my elderly cats now find it difficult jumping onto the bed or sofa so by providing steps makes life a whole lot easier for them, all I have done is placed a few boxes (the sturdy kind) or wicker baskets (upside down or they fall in) around my home so that they can always sleep in their favourite places without feeling like they need to climb a mountain to get there. Alternatively you could just go out and buy low leveled furniture but that might just get a little expensive!!!
It may also be necessary to place food and water bottles on slightly raised platforms as they may find it difficult bending down to eat and drink, one simple way of doing this is to use an upside down litter tray.
My cat doesn't seem to be as active
It's only fair to expect elderly cats to slow down as they get older, or is it?
Just because your cat is getting older does not mean they should stop playing (unless of course their Clary's age and only play when no one is watching), one of my cats at 16 years of age still loves to play and I have heard of cats older that still run around like kittens (maybe not for as long as a kitten would) but still it is important for your cat to get regular daily exercise even if it's just a few minutes, so take the time for a little play, it would be good for both of you and make your friendship even more special.
If however your cat is no longer able to move around as they once would then please instead of putting it down to old age as so many people do, ask the staff at your local veterinary surgery for help and advice on what to do. There are a number of possibilities available for your cat; it may be a case of medication or a short course of physiotherapy or even massage
I know it seems like you have to make a lot of changes in your life to accommodate your cat when they get older but just imagine how you would feel if it were you!!
I hope all the information I have provided helps you and your cats have a long, happy life together.
In 1997 I started work in a different veterinary practice and was there for just over 8 years; it is my belief that if I did not change my job Miss Clary would never had lived for an extra 10 years. The support I received from everyone involved in the care of my "Little Angel" over the years was amazing.
If you would like to contact me please email me at email@example.com
I will always be happy to talk to you even if it's for support but remember the staff at your local practice are always happy to help and it is always better to get a full medical examination even when your not able pin point where or what the problem is, don't feel as though your wasting the time of your Veterinary Surgeon or feel like your going mad, believe me I've done it many times myself.
You're the one that spends the most time with your cats so you know their behaviour better then anyone else.

This has been a horrible, shitty, no good, very bad, terrible week. The worst week I’ve had in a long time. I feel like I’m falling apart.
My dog died.
It was very sudden and totally unexpected… and completely devastating. Super Dog has been the most important part of my day to day life since I adopted her from the Humane Society. Best dog ever, I couldn’t have asked for a better girl. She was there for me all day, every day, with a wag in her tail and a smile on her face for the last three years. It’s barely been two days and I can’t even put into words what it feels like that she isn’t here anymore.
I’m going to write a long memorial post for her probably later this week. I write, that’s how I process and remember the big stuff. I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t up for reading it, I imagine I’ll be sobbing the whole time I’m writing it, but it’s going to happen.

“There is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability
to feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery. ”
Welcome to “Animal Communication Mallorca”!
Thank you for your interest in animal communication and animal healing. You seem to love your animal very much and would love to know more about it’s state of health and mind, concerns, thoughts and wishes, or would like to communicate a message to your beloved animal.
Often our animals are the mirror image of our soul, showing through illnesses or behavioural problems that something is wrong in their environment. Animal communication can reveal whether this is a problem with the animal, the human companion of the animal or both.
Sometimes it is sufficient to communicate the animal’s message to its human companion, or vice versa, for good health to be restored, or for a situation to improve.
If this is not enough, I can support you and your pet with a variety of alternative healing techniques:
- Shamanic Healing
- Quantum Healing
- Energetic Straightening
- Systemic Constellations
- Healing Hands
- or Access Bars (only for humans)
My aspiration is to create a harmonious relationship between human and animal and I would be very happy if you would confide in me to help you and your animal.
The animals of the world need our help.
“We are not only responsible for what we are doing, but also for what we are not doing.”

When disastrous situations are not safe for you, they REALLY are not safe for your pets. Your four-legged friends need an emergency kit just as much as you do. Yes, they are furry and cannot call the fire department in an emergency, but they are a member of your family and should be safeguarded as one during a crisis.
These steps can help you prep your furry friends for when SHTF:
- Evacuation Plan
If you need to evacuate, so do your pets. You simply cannot leave them behind. You know that sad and pathetic face they give you when you leave them home alone? Imagine that face, but amplified ten-fold accompanied by whimpering and howling.
- Emergency Kit Items
There are certain items that need to be in your pet’s emergency kit. They might beg you to put a few extra bacon strips in, but extra snacks should not be a top priority. Aside from food and water, these are the items that should be an absolute priority for your pet’s emergency kit:
- Information about pet-friendly hotels
- Contact numbers for your veterinarian, local animal hospitals/shelters, and any relief agencies in your area.
- Records of their vaccines
- Any routine medications they take
- Flea and tick medications
- Heartworm medications
- Train Your Dog For Survival
Prepping your dog and training your dog for survival are two completely different things. Teaching your dog tricks can greatly improve both your own and your dog’s survival. Side note: By tricks we don’t mean fetch, roll over, or play dead. Although the last one could come in handy. By tricks, we mean things like: search and rescue, stay, kennel training, and defense.
- Pet Waste Sanitation Supplies
Right now you are probably thinking, “Why do I need to have waste supplies for my pet? They go to the bathroom outside.” Yes, this seems like a luxury, but what if you were trapped in a bunker for days on end? Your animal will not have the luxury of going to the bathroom outside. Pet waste bags and doggie septic tanks are a clean and convenient way to get rid of your animal’s waste while hunkering down indoors.

Feeding your platys the right amount and type of food is crucial to their health and well-being. But how often should you feed them? Here’s a comprehensive feeding schedule that will help you provide the best nutrition for your fish.
Understanding the Nutritional Needs of Platys.
Before creating a feeding schedule for your platys, it’s important to understand their nutritional needs. Platys are omnivores, meaning they eat both plant and animal matter. They require a balanced diet that includes protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. In the wild, they feed on algae, small insects, and crustaceans. In captivity, they can be fed a variety of foods including flakes, pellets, frozen or live foods, and vegetables. It’s important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.
Feeding Frequency for Adult Platys.
Adult platys should be fed twice a day, with small portions each time. Overfeeding can lead to health problems such as obesity and digestive issues. It’s important to monitor their feeding habits and adjust the amount of food accordingly. If they are not finishing their food within a few minutes, reduce the amount given. It’s also recommended to fast them once a week to allow their digestive system to rest. Remember to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.
Feeding Frequency for Juvenile Platys.
Juvenile platys should be fed more frequently than adult platys, as they are still growing and require more nutrients. It’s recommended to feed them three to four times a day, with small portions each time. As they grow, you can gradually reduce the feeding frequency to twice a day. It’s important to monitor their growth and adjust their feeding schedule accordingly. Remember to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
Types of Food to Feed Platys.
Platys are omnivores and require a varied diet to maintain optimal health. They can be fed a combination of commercial fish food, live or frozen foods, and vegetables. Commercial fish food should make up the bulk of their diet, with options such as flakes, pellets, and granules. Live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia can be offered as a treat once or twice a week. Vegetables such as blanched spinach, zucchini, and peas can also be added to their diet for added nutrition.
Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Diet for Your Platys.
Maintaining a healthy diet for your platys is crucial for their overall health and well-being. In addition to providing a varied diet, it’s important to feed them small amounts multiple times a day rather than one large feeding. This helps prevent overfeeding and reduces the risk of digestive issues. It’s also important to remove any uneaten food from the tank after feeding to maintain water quality. By following these tips, you can ensure your platys are getting the nutrition they need for optimal health.

Milly the maltese cross
Having been through the heart wrenching experience of watching Milly being forced into an animal box, with a ruptured disc, and then shaken out at the other end, I couldn’t face having my pet experience that again.
The Milly Box was inspired totally by my compassion for my dog and I’m sure that all of you animal lovers and pet owners feel exactly the same about your pet.
PHOTOGRAPH OF MILLY BOX PROTOTYPE
I came up with the idea of the Milly Box to change the lives of sick and injured pets and animals everywhere, preventing further injury, reducing stress and preventing further pain.
Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to help me out too. So I added retractable wheels and a retractable handle, making The Milly Box easy to pull along rather than lift. I have to look after my back as well you know!
Anyway, I hope you agree with me, that the Milly Box will make all of our lives easier.
I look forward to speaking with you on social media, sharing pet stories and experiences with you and working together to bring the Milly Box to life.
Thank you for supporting myself and Milly, and I look forward to updating you on our progress soon!

One of the most serious health issues for any rabbit is something called GI stasis. What that stands for is Gastrointestinal stasis and what it means is your bunny’s intestines have stopped working properly causing him to lose his appetite.
In many animals, while not eating for 12 hours or more can be serious, in a rabbit it is life-threatening. As soon as a rabbit stops eating, the muscles around his intestines begin to seize up and the food stops moving through them. When this happens to even a very healthy rabbit, death can occur in less than a day, which is why it is so important to take care of a rabbit suffering from GI stasis and get him eating properly again.
Recently, one of my rabbit’s began to suffer from GI stasis, a rabbit I had owned for seven years and who had never had a serious health issue before. Knowing what this could mean for his long-term survival, I immediately jumped into action and got started on getting him a cure.
Syringe feed water – Rabbits that have GI stasis can become dehydrated very quickly as, due to the pain they are feeling in their stomach, they often simply stop drinking water. Once this happens, it’s a vicious cycle downwards, often ending soon after in death. That is why it’s vital to get some liquid into his stomach, even if it means delaying going to the vet for 30 minutes while you do.
As I keep various plastic syringes on hand, the minute I realized my rabbit wasn’t eating or drinking I grabbed one of these and filled a bowl of water adding a few teaspoons of fresh pineapple juice to it for flavor. While some vets don’t think pineapple juice has any impact on helping break up a GI stasis blockage or getting the stomach moving again, other vets do and recommend you use it
I’ve had excellent luck with it in the past with other rabbits so I always add a few teaspoons to any water I’m about to feed my bunny, and it hasn’t let me down yet.
Then it’s just a case of either tipping him on his back to get easy access to his mouth and slowly dropping the water and pineapple mix into his mouth, or doing it while he’s standing. All my rabbits have long hair, so it’s a nightmare to syringe feed water or food when they’re standing as I can’t find their mouths through all that fur. Tip them on their backs, however, and I’ve syringe fed that water in three minutes flat with hardly a drop lost.
Just be sure you syringe feed your rabbit water (or food) slowly and do so from the side of his mouth and not the front as, if you’re not careful he could aspirate it and, once in his lungs, more problems could set in.
With any of my rabbits who are not eating or drinking, I syringe feed them this water and pineapple juice mix every two hours up until I go to bed. I then leave a bowl in their cage with more of the mix in it, so they can drink it during the night.
Go to the vet – If the water and pineapple juice doesn’t get your rabbit’s stomach moving again, it’s time to visit the vet. That’s because he needs to start eating food but you shouldn’t syringe feed him anything other than water until you know if there is an intestinal blockage or not, as force feeding him could make him much worse.
Get to your vet, tell her what’s wrong including when your bunny last pooped, what shape his poops were and if they were hard or soft. This will go a long way to help her figure out what’s wrong with him, along with an x-ray she should hopefully do next.
After an x-ray and an exam, your vet should be able to tell you what is wrong with your bunny and prescribe medications to make him start feeling better. Mine usually prescribes Cisapride to get his intestine working again, Simethicone to get rid of the pain my rabbit is feeling from the excess gas trapped in his intestines, and Meloxicam another pain killer.
She also always gives me a supply of Oxbow Critical Care, an emergency food replacement you just mix with water, put in a syringe and then syringe feed him just like you did with the water.
A vet familiar with rabbits is vital (exotic animal vet) – While a rabbit might not be classified as an ‘exotic animal’ in the west, they are in Thailand where I live, and a vet that specializes in their care is an exotic animal vet. Make sure you either find one of these in your town or a vet who is at least familiar with the treatment of rabbits, as so many vets really have no idea how a sick rabbit should be treated and often misdiagnose a GI stasis, which can be fatal.
The vet I go to in Bangkok is at a university veterinary teaching hospital, she specializes in exotic animals and she is excellent. She can tell immediately when something is wrong with one of my rabbits, orders an x-ray to confirm her diagnosis, and already has her list of medications written up ready to go before the results are back from the x-ray lab. She hasn’t been wrong yet.
Follow your vet’s instructions to the letter – One your vet has confirmed your rabbit is suffering from GI stasis, she should give you various medicines and detailed instructions of how often to use each medicine throughout the day. Follow these instructions to the letter as, if you don’t and your rabbit becomes even more dehydrated or doesn’t get enough food, he will die.
Tummy massage – Finally, after I have followed my vet’s instructions and given my rabbit all the liquids, medication and Critical Care he needs, I then flip him onto his back and massage his stomach for 15-30 minutes, depending on how long he will let me.
Massage acts along with the medications and gets the intestines moving again, resulting in the painful gas being expelled from it and, eventually, your rabbit being able to poop again. Three or four times a day, in fact, can work wonders.
Once you see his poop habits are just about back to normal, remember to keep an eye on him to make sure they stay that way, and you have just managed to pull your rabbit through a life-threatening GI stasis and back to health and normality. Good for you.


Meet Cage... He is the latest edition to our family. His story is rather unique and you'll understand how he got his name if you read on.
We have a rabbit problem in our area. They have chewed the wires in our van causing transmission trouble 3 or 4 times now, thus costing a lot of money to repair it! Our neighbors gave us a small animal cage to catch the rabbits and place them elsewhere... We have this cage set up with no bait outside our garage. One snowy morning near the end of December, my husband came in from outside and said we caught a cat in our cage... I, being the cat lover I am, said bring it in let me see! He did and I fell in love with him. We checked with other neighbors and they said it wasn't their cat, therefore, he became our cat. We've have now had the ear mites treated, had him neutered and de-clawed so now he's now a perfect inside kitty! He and Scruffy have issues every now and then, but I think they are learning to co-exist now which is a really good thing.

In this week’s continuing “Spring Safety Series,” our experts here at Caliber Collision discuss staying safe with your slobbery sidekicks. While we love a good spring road trip as much as the next driver, we realize the importance of taking extra precautions to keep both you—and your furry friends—safe on the road.
Paws Down: The Best Safety Tips for Pets
Whether you’re traveling to the vet, the beach, or a cross-country vacation, introducing a few safeguards to your vehicle can keep all passengers, two-legged or four, in top-dog shape.
• Keep Your Ruff Rider in the Rear: Though it may be tempting to let your pet sit in the front seat, there are a lot of reasons not to let them ride shotgun. Between open windows, front windshields and powerful airbags, if you were to make a sharp turn, quick stop or get in an accident, your pet could be severely injured.
Letting your pet in the front is also dangerous because of the added distraction to you as a driver. No matter how well behaved your pet might be, they still have the potential to block your view, take your eyes off the road, or knock into your gear stick while in motion. Regardless of how short a distance you may be traveling, it is always best to keep your pet in the backseat.
• Invest in the Right Equipment: In the same way you wouldn’t drive a car without seatbelts and airbags, you also shouldn’t drive without proper equipment to keep your paw-ssenger safe. You can find harnesses that attach to seatbelts, crates made especially for cars, motion sickness medication and everything in between online or at a local pet store. After a couple of rides with your pet, figure out what added gear they may need to stay secure and satisfied in the car.
• Consider Your Car: If you do find yourself frequently traveling with animals in your ride, consider looking into one of the top-rated autos for pets. When purchasing a car, keep your pooch in mind by considering factors such as backseat space, multi-zone temperature control, tinted windows and easily cleanable interiors.
• Prep Your Pet: If your pet has anxiety about riding in the car, it may be beneficial to spend some time prepping your pet for the road ahead. Consider taking a couple of short trips before heading out on a longer adventure, reward good behavior with treats and take time to tire out your dog with lots of exercise beforehand.
Wherever life (and your pet) takes you, safety is the number one priority. Adventuring with your best furry friend is always fun, but if you find yourself riding ruff on the road, our team at Caliber is here, Restoring the Rhythm of Your Life.®


If you have a dog that is a little out of control For pet Loverz, you may want to consider dog behaviour training. Behavioral training is a form of positive reinforcement that helps your dog learn how to behave in different situations. This could be beneficial in cases where your pet has been diagnosed with anxiety or aggression.
Dog behaviour training does not need to be complicated. You can start by rewarding your dog with praise, treats, or attention when they do the things you want them to do.
Using the appropriate reward can make a huge difference in your dog’s behavior. For instance, you can teach your dog to fetch.
Likewise, you can keep your pet busy with puzzle games. Keeping your dog distracted can help prevent misbehavior.
Another way to prevent your pooch from misbehaving is to take him out of the situation. If you have a dog who whines when he’s begging for food, you can put him in another room while you eat.
Teaching Your Dog Basic Commands: A Beginner’s Guide
You should also pay attention to your dog’s body language. Some dogs may not respond to repeated calls. Putting a treat on his collar may motivate him to come.
In addition to providing rewards, you should also teach your dog the difference between good and bad behavior. This will improve his relationship with you and your family.
There is no end to the list of dog behaviour training techniques you can use. The trick is to use these methods in the proper order.

Be that as it may, there are a few circumstances when a pooch’s dry, warm nose could be of concern.


Boxer Stud Dog Resource
I am carrying on this list at Beth Pariseau's request. I would like to send my thanks to her for the time and contribution she has put into the information below. I hope to be able to provide the same wealth of information she has to others.
DISCLAIMER: This page is intended to be a quick reference to assist in your search for a health-tested stud dog. It is not intended to be the final authority on any dog's test results. Please verify all information for yourselves before using a dog you see listed here.
A NOTE OF CAUTION: This page is intended to be a tool to facilitate the search for a health-tested Boxer stud dog. It's important to remember that experts advise that we cannot safely remove more than 50% of the gene pool for all problems combined. In a breed that begins by removing 20-25% of the gene pool for marking pattern alone, we must be very careful not to be over-zealous in our (commendable) quest for good health. We should guard against narrowing the gene pool to include only those dogs with "perfect" results on the tests we have available. This approach, while well intended, can inadvertently create a genetic bottleneck that will impact the immune system (cancer, allergies, auto-immune thyroiditis, etc.) while we try to improve in other areas. We should be trying to improve our breed's health, but it needs to be prudently over time.
TO ADD YOUR STUD: Send me an email with your dog's health test results as shown below. Dogs must be over 12 months to be listed.
An empty space means I was not provided the information. It should not be taken to mean anything other than that. Stud dog owners: Feel free to email me added information if you would like your dog's information updated.
**UPDATE: This site has been updated to remove the separation of gene testing as some owners choose not to complete both. Any of the sort arrows may be used to filter by the header or you can use the Search field on the top/right to look up a particular dog.

Day 81 - Blue, Yellow & Green Daisies
Stopped by the grocery store in the morning after work to pick up canned cat food and $46 later, we came home with cat food, groceries and these flowers. They just kinda winked at me and said "take me home". They were only $5, so I thought that was a lot of pretty for a little amount!

As I mentioned here in my first blog post, I loved Alicia Silverstone's book, The Kind Diet. HOWEVER, I do disagree with one (rather big) thing: CATS SHOULD NEVER BE FED A VEGAN DIET!!!
ALL cats are "obligate carnivores", which is a fancy term that means MEAT-EATER. That's the final word. Why some cat food company doesn't come out with the proper and natural cat food and sell it to us, I don't know. If I owned a cat food company, I'd make food out of whole birds and mice. (Gasp, animal cruelty!). I don't want to feed myself those things, but I'm not a cat.
What cats DON'T need are exactly what you will find in ALL brands of kibble: grains, starches, flours, vegetables and fruits, and unknown things we'd rather keep that way. The fillers used to make kibble couldn't be worse for your feline friends - even the "gourmet" brands with prices to match. Cats need to get water from the food they eat - more specifically from the muscle tissue. If you see your cat drinking out of the water bowl frequently, check for kidney or thyroid problems.
DO cats get berries in the wild? Yes, if they eat the whole bird; and whatever mice and small rodents eat. But you will never see an outdoor cat nibbling on a corn husk!
So what SHOULD we feed our house cats (in lieu of Vita-Mixing birds and mice)? From what I've read (I can get sources later, if you need them), preferably ORGANIC, CANNED food, with whole sources of meat, not by-products. The brands I have found so far at my local Whole Foods or Co-op are "Organix", "Newman's Own", "Pet Guard", "Evangers", and online at PetFoodDirect.com. I'm not too thrilled that most, if not all of these contain brown rice, but I guess if you're trying to pick the best that you can most of the time, a little brown rice is far better than the other options.
I also will supplement my cat's diet with real chicken. Did a ton of research on that, too, and found two suppliers that are mainstream and produce healthy, happy chicken on farms where they get to live happy chicken lives before being as humanely murdered as one can. "Smart Chicken" is found at Meijer, and "Bell and Evans" is at Whole Foods.
With a little thought and care, our pets can eat as well as we can, but within their species requirements.

Arff - start by forming the yellow dough into a ball. Push the ball onto the plastic dog feet base prong, then add the plastic dog face on top of the dough. In the blink of an eye you have created your very own banana-scented dog buddy! Vary the dough ball from round, squat, elongated, whatever shape you want. And try using other colors and scents!
If the dough dries out, simply add a little water to the dough to become pliable again.


Adopting Labrador retrievers from an animal shelter comes with some pros and cons. But you can not neglect the fact that you are saving two lives by adopting Lab from an animal shelter. The first one you are saving the life of the dog that you adopt, and by doing this, you can create some space for another dog who needs that space in the shelter. You are surprised to know that there are an estimated 3.9 million dogs that enter US animal shelters each year.
When you adopt a Labrador Retriever from an animal shelter, you will save a life. The cost of a Labrador is very cheap, and the cost of housetraining is also minimized. The only disadvantage is you can’t find the history of your Lab and may face difficulties to find a purebred of Lab.
In this blog, you will know the pros and cons of adopting Labrador from animal shelters.
1. You are saving the life of your Labrador:
You are shocked to know that each year, it is estimated that more than one million adoptable dogs are euthanized in the United States, including every breed of the dog. Think of yourself; if more dogs and other pets come into animal shelters and the ratio of adoption of dogs are significantly less, there are high possibilities the space for every pet will not be enough. When you adopt a Labrador or other pet through an animal shelter, you can save many pets’ lives by creating more space for another animal who might desperately need it. It can be reduced if many people will be interested in getting Labrador or others from an animal shelter.
By adopting a Labrador retriever from an animal shelter, you make room for others and directly give more pets a second chance. The cost of your adoption also helps those shelters to improve and better care for the animals they take in. You can also weaken the pet overpopulation cycle. Many shelters euthanize unwanted pets after a specific period, and this is because the shelter cannot afford to keep every pet they receive due to lack of space and resources.
2. The cost of a Labrador is very cheap:
The cost of a Labrador retriever from an animal shelter is quite reasonable. You can easily afford it. The fee is also cheap for spraying or neutering, which is virtually all shelters require they’ll release an animal for adoption. For most animal shelters, the cost of spray or neuter and the first vaccinations is already included in the adoption price, and you don’t have to pay extra for this purpose. It can you some of the up-front costs of adding a new member to your family.
Suggestion for you: Why are labrador retrievers so expensive?
3. Minimize the cost of house training:
When you are adopting a Labrador retriever from an animal shelter, you automatically minimize the cost of house training of your Labrador. Adult labs are terrific, and they are already housetrained, and they easily do some basic things like they can sit or stay. It can also be beneficial in the way you won’t have to deal with the puppy phase, which means less of that youthful energy such as biting, chewing, clawing, etc.
Many adult Labrador retrievers have lived in a home previously before placed in the animal shelter. So they are already potty trained. You don’t have to think about it. Some may even have more advanced levels of house training. You don’t need to housetrain your Lab again.

4. Able to return if not a good match for your home:
You can take the Labrador back if it’s not a good match for your home. It is one of the best advantages of adopting a Lab from animal shelters. Most animal shelters give a temperament evaluation before placing the Lab. The member of the staff from the animal shelter can advise you of a personality that would best fit your family,
Disadvantages of adopting Labrador Retriever from an animal shelter:
Sadly, there are some significant disadvantages to adopting a Labrador retriever from an animal shelter.
1. History may be unknown of a Lab:
This is the first cons of adopting a Lab from an animal shelter because when you don’t know your dog’s past, you probably miss the half-truth of your Labrador retriever. Just like humans, Labrador or any dog breed has a good or bad history. They also have a good time and a bad time.
Labrador or any other dog breed reacts differently when going through traumatic situations based on their personality. Many shelter Labs come from bad past times. Labrador can not easily forget good or bad times that happen in the past. Some Labrador Retrievers may require extra patience to bring them out of their shell.
2. Get confused to find purebred of Lab:
The second cons are you can not easily figure out which one is the exact breed of Labrador Retriever. If you don’t know the characteristics of a purebred Labrador Retriever, the chances are you will end up getting mixed-breed Labrador. Don’t take mixed Labrador breed as lightly. Mixed breed Labradors are just as intelligent, capable, and beautiful as purebreds.
3. Health issue:
It may also be challenging to assess the Lab’s health when adopting Labrador Retriever from an animal shelter, primarily related to chronic disorders and inherited diseases such as hip dysplasia. The dog’s temperament may be hard to evaluate in the shelter environment accurately.
Having some cons can not affect the benefits you can get from adopting a Lab from animal shelters. You can free to choose whether you should adopt a Labrador Retriever from animal shelters or not. You can also not neglect the fact that thousands of dogs, including Labradors, are successfully adopted from animal shelters each year. If you know how to check purebred of Labrador and if you can find the right Labrador as an animal shelter, the outcomes or rewards will be great for you as well as for your Labrador. All the best!


Whenever Russell Hartstein’s psoriasis flares up, count on his 6-year-old German shepherd, Koa, to try to lick the dry patches on his elbows.
“He always seems attuned and curious about people, is very affectionate and observant,” says Hartstein, who is tuned into such things himself as a certified dog trainer.
Harstein has had psoriasis since childhood. Koa isn’t his first dog to lick, smell, and stare at skin patches with “what seemed like curiosity and interest.”
People with psoriasis will tell you that Koa is not a rare breed. It’s not uncommon for dogs to react strongly to psoriasis flare-ups in their human families.
But why? What is it about psoriasis that draws some dogs’ attention?
Experts aren’t sure. Some think dogs, with their keen sense of smell, are drawn to a unique odor coming from psoriasis patches. Others believe dogs like to lick that area as a healing gesture.
This Canine Attention Isn’t Always Welcome
It can be hard to turn away a friendly dog’s licks. But if you have psoriasis, and especially if you get sores during flare-ups, that’s the safe thing to do.
“Dogs and cats have a lot of in their mouths, so any amount licking could lead to … infection,” says Deborah Silverstein, DVM, a professor of emergency and critical care at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in Philadelphia.
What about your dog’s health? If you haven’t put medication on your skin, your dog should be fine if he or she licks psoriasis patches.
But the ingredients in some psoriasis ointments and creams can cause kidney damage and other serious health problems in dogs if they lick up enough medication, Silverstein says.
Other Conditions Dogs Notice
It’s not just psoriasis. Some research shows dogs may be drawn to, or even predict, symptoms of other conditions, including:
- Low blood sugar in people with diabetes
- Melanoma and other kinds of cancer
But this isn’t for sure. More research is needed.
“Part of the challenge is that we don’t know exactly what dogs are picking up on” when they react to human medical conditions, says Evan MacLean, PhD, director of the Arizona Canine Cognition Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
One possibility is that the changes in your body caused by psoriasis, skin cancer, etc. trigger a unique scent that you can’t sense but your dog can.
Dogs mainly experience the world through their sense of smell. That “gives them a different perspective and a unique ability to notice changes … too subtle for us to recognize,” says Melissa Singletary, DVM, PhD, assistant director of the Canine Performance Sciences program at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama.
Dogs also can be quick to spot and react to subtle changes in your behavior or physical appearance when you deal with a flare-up of a medical condition, Singletary says.
What about pairing a person with a chronic medical condition with a service dog who reacts to symptoms?
“It takes a very specific assessment to make sure that you have the right disease, coupled with the right dog, coupled with the right person,” says Raelynn Farnsworth, DVM, interim associate dean for clinical programs at Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman, WA.
Dog Diagnosis? Not Yet
Someday, could dogs be trained to screen people for certain health conditions? That might not be such a far-fetched idea.
Dogs have a “tremendous ability to smell chemicals on so many different levels,” which already helps authorities with bomb and drug detection, Hartstein points out.
And don’t forget “the sensitivity of a dog to very subtle behavioral changes in a person,” Singletary says.
One medical journal article by a dermatologist describes a woman whose dog repeatedly sniffed at, and was upset by, a mole on her back. That woman sought medical attention and was diagnosed with melanoma.
Still, even the smartest dog can’t diagnose anything. So if your dog reacts differently and strongly to something on your body, you might want to consult a doctor — who will put the best of human medicine to work.
