The process can get fairly quick, if your puppy is responding appropriately and happily, or it normally takes a half hour or longer if your dog is showing signs of discomfort. Behaviors that may be see in a daycare dog work dog introduction skills, fluid play between dogs with lots of movement and changing position, knowing when to “back off” if another dog provides sign that your dog is too much in his “bubble” together with appropriate warning behaviors from your dog to tell another that they is uncomfortable, without relying on to aggression. It is also important that your dog respond to his name when called (you would be amazed at how many don’t!), come when termed, and respond to this “off” or “leave it” commands if staff has to extricate him from some sort of potentially dangerous situation. Incompatible behavior includes overt aggression towards other dogs and staff, too much guarding of particular toys, or sometimes being way too submissive or intimidated by a large pack. In this latter cases, your dog may very well be approved for daycare, but caring staff will probably tell you that he may like a smaller group or individual play with staff rather than large group setting… daycare is supposed to be fun and not tense!
Once the staff is fairly confident that your fur-kid provides good doggie play manners and is having a great time, they will remove the leash out of your pet and continue to help closely monitor his off-leash behavior closely through the entire test period and the remainder of his first morning. Most facilities that stick to recommended doggie daycare pointers (see Pet Care Services Association Standards and Practices) can have a rule that a dog is always on probation, meaning that if his behavior changes after a while and he becomes aggressive towards other dogs or staff that they may be removed from the program for the safety off.
So, why do some dogs prosper in some daycare settings not in others? Much such as people, different dogs may respond differently to one another, to different staff members and various program settings and composition. Some combinations of dogs (for whatever reason) are just season fit for each other. Just because your dog doesn’t be wise in a certain program on a certain day does not means that he cannot participate with another program… or even the identical program on a different day of the week with different dogs. Well-trained staff who understand dog behavior, breed characteristics and pack dynamics ought to be tell you if your pet dog might do better in a different group, different center, or with a different number of dogs… or if he really is not a good candidate for group play influenced by fear or insecurity, aggression, or the fact that he would just rather get with people than some other canines!
You are going on vacation and you have decided that you don’t wish to take your best friend. You decide to leave him for a dog boarding kennel with Portland. When you call all over you find out you might want to get your dog golf shots. Why do you want to be your dog shots? It’s because of their protection, since they is going to be around lots of other dogs. There are typically three shots that the kennel or boarding center requires, which are bordetella, DHLPP, together with Rabies.
The Bordetella vaccination protects your pet dog from kennel cough. This vaccination can be provided in two forms it’s either given by an injection or it can also be given by squirting the vaccine in the nose of the pet. Bordetella is an airborne condition. In general, even if you not taking your dog to a kennel it is best to vaccinate your dog from kennel cough if she or he is often around other dogs.
The DHLPP vaccine is a mix of many vaccines. This vaccination is due to an injection to your dog. The D stands with regard to canine distemper, H is short for infectious hepatitis, L stands for leptospirosis, P stands with regard to Para influenza virus, and also the Second P stand with regard to parvovirus. Sometimes the vaccine also has an vaccine for the corona virus. Distemper is a highly fatal virus and it is highly contagious. This is why it is so crucial for you to vaccinate your dog from this virus. Hepatitis is also a virus that will attack the organs to your dog, and once a dog contracts hepatitis there is no treatment. Leptospirosis is a infection and can also affect humans. The disease is best prevented by a vaccine, but if you pet catches the disease it can also be treated with antibiotics. The Para influenza virus is the dog flu and may be mistaken as kennel cough. The Para influenza virus is in addition highly contagious. Parvoviurs is another highly contagious disease that involves vomiting and diarrhea. Dogs can usually get treated by replacing the fluid that dogs are losing with the help of a veterinarian.
Rabies is also a virus, which is very deadly. Normally, neither humans nor dogs survive the illness. When you vaccinate your puppy from rabies your not only protecting him, but you are protecting other dogs and people in case your dog would ever come into contact with a rabid animal.
So before you go on vacation and drop your dogs off with dog boarding run in Portland make sure they have all their own vaccinations. This will ensure your puppy will have a safe time in the dog kennel or boarding kennel in Portland. If a kennel does not require shots, you should walk away. If you take your dog to a kennel this way you could get a potentially fatal condition. Have a great vacation and ensure you board your dog or leave him at a doggy day care in Portland or kennel that will need shots.


Dog owners can get 20% off high value treats pet owners have said are so ‘perfect’ their pooches ‘never refuse’ them. Many dog lovers know Crufts is the ultimate place to find bargains for your dog, but even though this year’s event has ended, there are still some great deals to be found.
Forthglade – available in Sainsbury’s stores and online – has revealed a little-known discount code that gives shoppers money off their first order. By entering ‘PC20NC’ at checkout, customers can get 20% off food and treats – including one particular pack that has been highly praised by dog lovers, The Mirror reports.
The Natural Soft Bite Treats With Salmon from the Devon-based brand is their top-rated product, earning a near-perfect 4.8 star rating from over 200 reviews. These grain-free salmon treats are perfect for teaching your dog new tricks, rewarding them on walks or just because they’re adorable.
They’re also said to be ‘perfect for even the most sensitive of tummies’, while their soft texture and scored heart shape make them easy to break in half. This is ideal for those who might struggle with strength in their hands like older owners.
It also means the treats last longer, especially if you have a smaller dog. All of the treats are also suitable from two months of age, meaning you can start teaching your new furry friend commands like ‘sit, stay and paw’ from the day they arrive home.
“My dogs’ favourite treats, they adore the soft bites!” said one shopper. “Always great to have in your pocket for when out on a walk and if you don’t want them to have a whole one you can break them in half. We love our Forthglade treats!”
Another added: “One of Luna’s very favourite things; we’ve even had to put some behind the counter at her favourite shop so her friends on the staff can treat her when she visits.”
A third wrote: “Easily broken to use as training treats. I think they must taste great because he never refuses.”
One said they were fabulous for her older dog who struggles to chew kibble in their golden years, commenting: “Would highly recommend I have an elderly dog who has to have moist food so these are excellent, I also have a two year old who will do anything for a treat.”
The treats usually cost £1.99 for a 90g pouch, but with the discount they’re just £1.59. The best way to save money is to buy in bulk, as shoppers can get eight packs for just £11.15 with the discount.
Some pet owners are really hoping Forthglade will make bigger packs of their dog biscuits. They say, “My dog loves these and they are definitely a high value treat. It’s great that you can break them up easily into smaller pieces to make them last longer, but I wish they came in bigger bags. You can buy multiple packs for a discount, but bigger bags would save on packaging!”
Another popular brand, Pooch and Mutt, are also holding a discount on their site, too, where owners can get 12 per cent off with the code MARCH12. And included in the offer is their newly-launched Easter meaty treats, which were so popular last year that they sold out. Meanwhile at Amazon, those looking to stock up can pick up four packs of the Denzel’s rewards for £12 in a variety of flavours.

One thing, though, on which I stand firm, is the absence of a litter box in the house. I relegated the nasty thing to the garage when my children were toddlers and it has never returned. The cats seem to appreciate the convenience when they are outside or it’s snowing. I’m grateful I need not deal with lingering odor.
That being said, the cats still need a place to sleep where the litter box is available. Garages tend to be cold, drafty places with cement floors and walls that are often not insulated. Not an amiable place to snooze. My husband, though, is a soft-hearted individual who would probably give up his bed for a suffering animal. He devised a cathouse where comfort reigns supreme.
When our dishwasher died, he removed all the outer adornments, including the motor, and kept the inner plastic shell. He then inverted the boxlike structure, turning the hole where the motor had been, outward. He added a light socket to the top of the old appliance, wired it for electricity, and screwed a bulb into the opening. To keep the cat off the cement floor, he lined the bottom with an old foam pad and discarded towels. The light keeps the interior just warm enough to be cozy. The cat disappears inside, the only evidence he’s there is a pair of ears that poke out when we open the garage door.
This morning, it seems, we opened the garage a little early for a Saturday. The cat’s ears poked out of his nest, then retreated. The furry feline didn’t emerge for another hour, this being his morning to sleep in. As his butler and maid, we honored his wishes and kept the noise down.
To quote a once popular movie, “Cats rule.”


A woman was eaten by her 20 cats after she collapsed at her home and was not discovered by police for two weeks.
Police were alerted by one of the woman’s employees who said she could not contact her boss.
When police arrived at the home in Bataysk, Rostov region, Russia, they found the partially eaten remains of the woman with the hungry cats surrounding her.
Police believe she had been dead for two weeks as they probed her decomposing remains.
“The cats were left alone on their own for two weeks, there was no food, so what else to eat?” said one animal rescue expert who cared for some of the surviving cats.
“It’s understandable right? They ate what there was.”
The cats have now been given to new owners for just £29 each.
Studies have found that cat owners who die at home risk being eaten alive by their hungry pets.


We all love our pets. They are part of the family.
When Lukas (founder of M.O.B. RAW) adopted a 7 month old bulldog named Biggie, he made sure that Biggie received the same love and treatment as if he was one of his own. As Biggie grew older, he began to suffer from cysts that would develop between his toes. These cysts would become inflamed to the size and colour of strawberries! Lukas started a daily ritual of soaking Biggie’s paws in a solution that yielded zero results. On top of that, Biggie also developed a yeast infection on the underside of his paws. Lukas tried to do what he could to remedy the situation by changing Biggie’s diet with a higher grade and costly kibble. Yet, the problem persisted. At the recommendation of his Veterinarian, Lukas started Biggie on medication which helped alleviate some of Biggie’s ailments but at a very high cost.
Taking a closer look into how a dog’s diet can affect their health, Lukas looked into raw dog food as a permanent and inexpensive solution for Biggie’s condition. Within two days of starting the raw dog food diet, Biggie’s coat was noticeably smoother and shinier. In two weeks, his cysts and inflammation had noticeably diminished!
As a result, Lukas and Biggie no longer needed to rely on expensive kibble and medication to treat Biggie’s condition. All thanks to eating RAW!

Dogs In Truck Beds
PSA: Keep Dogs Out Of Truck Beds - 100,000 Die Annually
Putting your pets in the truck bed is almost always a bad idea - even when they're strapped in.
Dogs riding along with their owner in a truck bed is something you often see. While it may sound like a good idea to transport your dog for shorter distances, putting our four-footers in truck beds is a huge mistake.
American Humane is now reporting that more than 100,000 pets, mostly dogs, die each year because they’re not safely secured in a truck bed.
Pets are extremely vulnerable in the bed of a truck, especially because there’s no real reliable method to strap them down and secure them to the truck. In other words, keep your pets inside of the vehicle at all costs.
Aside from human accidents, sometimes canines also have the urge to jump out of the truck bed, with disastrous or fatal injuries as a result.
“The dog could see something and jump,” representative Steve Scherer from Quincy Animal Control told KHQA. “Most dogs are smart enough not to, though, but I would worry about getting in an accident – the dog’s going to be a projectile then. I would also worry about a dog being tethered in the back of a truck because it could jump over the side of a bed and hang itself.”
Having your pets in the back of the truck can also be dangerous for reasons you wouldn’t expect at first, such as the force of wind at higher speeds.
The wind can put so much pressure on a pup’s lungs resulting in breathing issues. And at these higher speeds, there’s a high likelihood of something hitting the dog in the eyes, ears or nose such as bugs or small pebbles.
If you have a loyal four-footer, you probably already know that they love to soak in the smells around them and often stick their heads out of a moving car. That’s alright if they’re firmly strapped in inside of the van, but it’s a huge risk out in the open.
Another important factor is the weather. Even though the air will feel fresh and cool down, an extremely hot summer day will still heat the metal of the truck bed, often resulting in burns or even a heat stroke.
Leashing your pet in the truck bed often isn’t an option either.
There have been many reports of first responders and veterinarians of pets that were strangled by their leash in the truck bed. When the car is tossed in a crash or an accident, pets are completely helpless.
And if there’s absolutely no other option and you have to transport your dog in the truck bed, make sure it’s protected against all possible circumstances. It’s ideal to put the four-footer inside of a crate or cage, so it won’t have to deal with the wind or extreme weather situations. A leash or safety harness on its own is not secure enough and won’t protect against wind or weather.
The other important thing to keep in mind is to secure the cage very tightly to one of the walls. Make sure it can’t slide anywhere in case you have to make a sharp turn or need to brake unexpectedly.
What does the law say?
There isn’t a national law that prohibits people from transporting dogs or other pets in a truck bed, but there are five states where the situation is addressed or where it’s illegal. The states of Connecticut, New Hampshire, California, Massachusetts and Rhode Island have such specific laws in place.
In short, it’s illegal in these areas to transport pets in truck beds unless the animals are completely secured in a cage and cross-tethered so pets can’t fall out of the truck while driving. If you’re caught, you’ll have to pay fines up to $50, and they can even increase to $200 if it’s a repeated offense.
In any case – don’t transport your dogs loosely in the back of the truck, keep it safe!

Summary: CAPS has been gathering consumer complaints for the puppy mill of Joyce Stoltzfus in Peach Bottom, PA (Lancaster County) for many years.
The worst puppy mills, according to Williams and Humane Society investigators, pen up young females and force them to mate from their first day in heat. That means churning out litters twice a year, maybe for up to seven years, and often with some unhealthy results, said Bob Reder, who conducted undercover puppy mill probes for the Humane Society throughout the 1990s.

Ori was given to us a few days after her brother, Rengar. We really didn’t expect to raise two cats, but it felt awful to think that a brother cannot live with his sister. So…we just let it be. She is very different from her brother, super energetic and friendly. She will wake you up if she feels hungry, but she stopped doing this as she matured. She shares everything with her brother, and sometimes she will even give up her own share of food for him. She likes to keep herself very clean and tidy.


Our First Rescues!
Asia is our first rescue dog. She was found at a corrupt shelter that was eventually shutdown for selling the dogs and cats to slaughterhouses. We rescued her just in time. In only 3 months of her life she suffered from mange, malnutrition, a motorbike accident, and neglect. She was found sitting in a hard wire cage, emaciated with loss of muscle, and struggling to stand. Two months of rehabilitation and just $25 was able to give Asia a new start to a happy, healthy life.


How Do Female Cats Spray?
Many people assume that only male cats spray, but female cats can spray too. In fact, spraying is a common behavior for both male and female cats. However, female cats are less likely to spray than male cats. Understanding why female cats spray and how to prevent it can help you keep your home clean and your cat happy.
What is spraying?
Spraying is when a cat releases a small amount of urine on vertical surfaces, such as walls or furniture. Unlike urination, which is done in a litter box or other designated area, spraying is a form of communication. Cats spray to mark their territory, communicate with other cats, and express their emotions.
Why do female cats spray?
Female cats spray for many of the same reasons that male cats spray. They may spray to mark their territory or communicate with other cats. However, female cats are more likely to spray when they are stressed or anxious. Common triggers for spraying in female cats include:
- Competition for resources, such as food or litter boxes
- Changes in the household, such as a new pet or a move to a new home
- Medical issues, such as urinary tract infections or bladder stones
- Behavioral issues, such as anxiety or aggression
How can you prevent female cats from spraying?
If your female cat is spraying, there are several things you can do to prevent the behavior:
- Spay your cat: Spaying your cat can help reduce the likelihood of spraying. Female cats that are not spayed are more likely to spray, especially if they are in heat.
- Provide enough resources: Make sure your cat has access to enough food, water, and litter boxes. Competition for resources can trigger spraying.
- Reduce stress: Try to reduce stress in your cat’s environment. Provide hiding places, playtime, and other sources of stimulation to help your cat feel more relaxed.
- Consult with a veterinarian: If your cat continues to spray despite your efforts, consult with a veterinarian. Medical issues, such as a urinary tract infection, could be causing the behavior.
What should you do if your female cat sprays?
If your female cat sprays, there are several things you can do to clean up the mess:
- Use an enzyme cleaner: Regular household cleaners may not remove the odor of cat urine. Use an enzyme cleaner specifically designed for cat urine to remove the smell.
- Clean the area thoroughly: Use warm water and soap to clean the area where your cat sprayed. If the area has been soiled repeatedly, you may need to replace the carpet or furniture.
- Prevent future spraying: Try to identify the cause of your cat’s spraying and take steps to prevent it from happening again. Consult with a veterinarian or cat behaviorist if necessary.
Female cats can spray for many of the same reasons that male cats spray. Understanding why your cat is spraying and taking steps to prevent the behavior can help keep your home clean and your cat happy. If you are unsure why your cat is spraying, consult with a veterinarian or cat behaviorist for advice.


You would think that after all this time in history, one might think that dog training would become easier or even almost second nature to humans. However humans have a tendency to fall into bad habits themselves and can ruin a relationship between the dog and the owner. usually small mistakes do not have much on a resilient dog, however more serious mistakes can cause many years of stress and heartache, not to mention frustration. This article is therefore aimed at pointing out the top 10 mistakes that dog owners make, which could be improved upon with some helpful tips. This points are strictly to do with training technique and do not take into account socialization or exercise.
1. You are not training your dog enough
Most of us are teaching basic behaviours and routines to our dogs. However when the relationship stabilizes, we quite often allow our dogs to go on auto-pilot mode. Consequently, response times for important key behaviours can get worse. Quite often a dog won’t even respond. This degradation is a result of a lack of practice; if you play tennis only once a year, you’re going to be terrible at it, right?
So instead of “training and forgetting,” keep your dog’s develped behaviours sharp by working them now and then randomly and regularly, several times a day. Try different commands ike “Sit” for dinner, “down” at the dog park, “wait” at doors; be unpredictable and spontaneous. Then, every month, teach a new additional behaviour, a trick will help to keep your pet’s mind and motivation up. The larger your pet’s skill set of behaviours, the smarter he/she gets, and the more important you become.
2.You are repeating commands too often
This is a common issue, especially among new owners with challenging puppys. The dog owner has taught a behaviour such as “sit” however, due to distractions, confusion, or bad technique on the dog’s part, the pet doesn’t respond. The dog owner then asks repeatedly until and after the sixth or seventh attempt the dog finally halfheartedly sits down. This stalling becomes a learned behaviour, and one that is very hard to break.
This often happends with behaviours that have not been fully proofed, or with a that dog doesn’t particularly like to perform. For instance, headstrong dogs, hate to lie down, because it is an admission of deference. Timid dogs also try to resist lying down, a position they might feel too unsafe.
When we teach “sit” I do so as if it’s a fun trick; we treat the reward at first, praise, then work it into other locations, reducing the treat rewards along the way while increasing praise. We make sitting, coming, or lying down when called the greatest things to do.
Once you are happy and sure a dog knows a particular behaviour, ask only once! If the dog ignores you, it is either because you haven’t taught it properly, or the puppy is distracted or simply rebellious. Take your dog to a quiet spot and ask again; if he/she still doesn’t respond, go back to basics and re-teach, and avoid the mistake of asking too many times, or of making the behaviour appear to be dreary or unbeneficial. If you suspect your puppy is simply blowing you off, do not be afraid to show your disappointment. Do this by saying in a convincing tone: “No; sit.”
Another tip; after asking once without response, try waiting a moment, then while looking your dog square in the eye and moving in a bit closer. Mostly this will be enough to get your dog to listen. Then you should praise!
3. Your training sessions run too short or too long
Trying to teach new behaviours to a dog is a process of evolution, not revolution. The secret here is in knowing that it is usually going to take multiple sessions to perfect a new behaviour.
The time you spend on a training session should reflect some positive results. As soon as you attain some obvious level of success, you should reward and then quit. Do not carry on and on, as you will likely bore your dog, and actually force him/her to be conditioned to become disinterested in the new behaviour. Also, don’t end a session until there is some evidence of success, even if it is a moment of focus or an attempt by your dog to try to perform. Remember that ten one-minute sessions in a day will always trump one ten-minute session.
4. Your dog’s obedience behaviours are not generalized to varying conditions
If you teach Fluffy to “sit” in the quiet of your family room, that’s the only place she will reliably sit. It’s a mistake that many owners make; failing to generalize the new behaviour in different areas with varying conditions and levels of distraction will ensure spotty obedience at best.
To generalize a behaviour, first teach it at home with no distractions. Then, gradually increase distractions: turn the television on or have another person sit nearby. Once that’s perfected, move out into the yard. Then add another person or dog. Gradually move on to busier environments until Fluffy will perform consistently, even on the corner of a busy city street. Only then will the behaviour be “proofed.” This generalizing is especially vital when teaching the recall command, a behaviour that might one day save your dog’s life.
5. You rely too much on treats and not enough on praise, esteem, and celebrity
Treats are a great way to initiate a behaviour or to reinforce that behaviour intermittently later on. But liberal use of treats can often work against you. There can develop in the dog’s mind such a fixation on food that the desired behaviour itself becomes compromised and focus on the owner diffused. Think of it: you’ll rarely see hunting, agility, Frisbee, or law enforcement dogs being offered food rewards during training or job performance. Why? Because it would break focus and interfere with actual performance. Instead, other muses are found, including praise and, perhaps, brief play with a favourite toy. Most of all, reward for these dogs comes from the joy of the job itself.
By all means, initiate new behaviours with treats. But once Fido learns the behaviour, replace treats with praise, play, toy interludes, or whatever else he likes. Remember that unpredictable treat rewards work to sharpen a behaviour, while frequent, expected rewards slow performance and focus. Also, understand that you are a reward as well; you responding happily to something your dog has done will work better than a treat, and have the added effect of upping your “celebrity quotient.”
6. You use too much emotion
Excessive emotion can put the brakes on Fluffy’s ability to learn. Train with force, anger, or irritation and you’ll intimidate her and turn training sessions into inquisitions. Likewise, train with hyperbolic energy, piercing squeals of delight, and over-the-top displays of forced elation, and you will stoke her energy levels far beyond what is needed to focus and learn.
I tell students to adopt a sense of “calm indifference”—a demeanor suggesting competence, and a sense of easy authority. A laid-back, loving, mentoring kind of energy that calms a dog, and fills it with confidence. If your dog goofs up, instead of flying off the handle, back off, and try again. Likewise, if she gets something right, instead of erupting with shrill pomp, just calmly praise her, smile, then move on. She will gradually imprint on this relaxed attitude and reflect it.
7. You are reactive, not proactive
Dog training is a lot like the beautiful martial art of Tai Chi, with equal parts physical and philosophical. It takes timing, technique, and stamina, as well as a devotion to understanding the canine mind. It is not a skill that can be learned by watching one half-hour television show or from reading a few books. It takes time.
As a result, many dog owners have not yet mastered the timing and insight needed to train as capably as they might like. Like someone playing chess for the first time, they react to their opponent’s moves instead of planning their own.
When you simply react to Fido’s misbehaviours, you lose the opportunity to teach. Instead, practice your technique; anticipate his reactions ahead of time, becoming more proactive in the process. For example, if trying to quell a barking issue, instead of waiting for the barks to start, catch Fido right before his brain says “bark,” and distract it into some other, more acceptable, behaviour. Know that whatever stimulus is causing the barking needs to be either eliminated or redefined as a “good thing” in the dog’s head. This takes experience and a proactive role on your part.
8. You are inconsistent
Dogs need to feel that their mentors and providers are consistent in behaviour and in rule setting. If you vary training technique too much, especially in the beginning, you’ll diminish your dog’s ability to learn. For instance, if one day you stay patient with a stubborn dog, but the next day lose your cool, she won’t be able to predict how you’ll react at any given moment. This breaks confidence and trust. Instead, stick to a consistent methodology and be unswerving regarding what is suitable behaviour. For instance, if Fluffy isn’t allowed on the bed, but you let it happen two times out of ten, that’s inconsistent. Set rules and stick to them.
9. You lack confidence
Loss of confidence is a weakness, and I think that, as natural predators, dogs can sense it instinctively. It’s why frightened people get bitten more often than calmer individuals.
Show a lack of confidence and Fido will exploit it. That’s not a condemnation of your pet; it’s just a dog’s nature. To avoid this, simply work him more and attain some training successes. Attending a class with him can work wonders to increase your confidence, as can you spending time with other dogs. Try trading dogs with a friend every so often for the different experience. Take your dog into different venues, and push yourself and your dog to learn more. Practice!
10. You don’t train to the individual dog
Every dog has a distinct personality and behavioural profile. Though breed helps determine this, the individual dog’s character must be understood before training can succeed. As a trainer, you must determine what methods will work best with your dog.
For example, most retrievers are very sociable and can handle lots of people or dogs around them. But try this with a Chow Chow or Shiba Inu, and you may be in for a surprise. Likewise, a dog with a high food drive will respond to treats, while a dog with a low food drive may require a different muse. A shy dog will fare poorly with a robust training technique, whereas a swashbuckling dog might not even hear the gentle appeals coming from a trainer with a less hardy style. Think timid Toy Poodle versus rowdy Rottweiler.
If you have a shy dog, plan on showing a saint’s patience. Train peacefully, with little distractions at first. Train to the dog’s limitations, but plan to gradually sneak in social situations to desensitize and build confidence. If your dog is a big, bulldozing lummox, be just as big, just as hearty. Know that this dog can be challenged more than that timid dog. And know that, because of its size and strength, you simply must achieve control over it, especially in social situations. For dogs in between, reason out a training strategy based upon personality, size, age, energy, breed, and history.
If you stick to these basic guidelines, you’ll slowly redefine yourself as the resident trainer, and not just your dog’s concierge. Practice, succeed, be confident, and have fun with your protégé!

There are several important dog camping essentials you should have with your dog before you go on any trip. The first thing that you need to have with you is a dog crate. You do not want to take your dog along with you in the RV so you need to have a place for him to sleep at night like a dog house or an extra bed in your RV. Also make sure that your dog has his favorite toy and treats to keep him occupied while you are away.
Basic Things For Dog
You want to be sure that you are taking along some dog supplies for comfort as well as a bathing area. You do not want your dog to get dirty in the RV or in the outdoors. Be sure that you have a nice dog shampoo and conditioner. To help with bathing, you can buy a dog bath tub or even invest in one if you are a camping enthusiast. You will want to make sure that your dog has a collar that is easy to take off and that it is comfortable for him. If he is hot he does not want to jump into the water but he will get cold very quickly if he is cold.
Bring Along Dog Food
Along with this you will need to bring along dog food and water. If you plan on going far from home you may want to rent a vehicle and buy a couple of days worth of food and water. Also, if you are traveling with your dog overnight you will want to pack plenty of treats and toys just in case he gets bored or hungry out in the wild. If you are on a budget you can always buy a couple of bags of food and water as well.
The first among the dog camping essentials list is of course your dog. If you are going to be camping for a long period of time you will want to bring along food and water for the dog as well as dog supplies. The best idea is to bring along your dog’s favorite toy and keep him company in the RV. That way he will not get bored and he’ll have something to play with while you are away.
Next on the list of dog camping essentials is water. Dogs are prone to heat waves and dehydration so make sure that you have plenty of water to quench your dog’s thirst. You will also want to bring along a water container to fill the water in the containers that you will need. Bring along a supply of shampoo, conditioner, nail clippers and a brush.
On a trip you may need to bring along a first aid kit. You will probably be on a dirt trail, so a first aid kit will not do your pet any good at all so you will need to carry along something more substantial. You should also think about bringing along some pain killers for your dog. Pain killers can help to keep a dog calm in case of an injury. It is important however, that you never leave a dog down in the wilderness.
Another important item to include in your dog’s camping kit is a dog bed. You should choose one that is high off the ground and that will provide some comfort during the nights. A dog bed that is too small could suffocate if he tries to jump into it. When buying a dog bed, don’t forget to get one that will fit in his crate. If you find that buying a dog bed and other camping gear are difficult, you should consider getting a dog camping insurance policy.
Other than the dog food and dog bed another of the most important dog camping essentials is a dog crate. If your dog has been outdoors before you should consider taking him to a dog park where he can meet other dogs. By meeting other dogs your dog will have a camaraderie that will help to eliminate some of his anxiety. Your dog will also be exposed to new people and places and be exposed to some new experiences. A dog’s sense of smell is very acute, so taking him for walks twice a day along with him in his crate will keep him stimulated.

There are many different things that can happen to your horse's eyes, and most of them are an emergency. We have invested in specialized ophthalmology equipment that helps us diagnose eye diseases, and monitor the disease progress better.
There are several conditions that horses get that can cause them to go blind if not treated quickly and appropriately. Typically a horse with an eye problem will have a runny eye and/or be squinting.
The horse's eye sits in a prominent location on the side of its head and is subject to injury. Once the cornea is damaged an infection can set in. This is an emergency. The quicker I can diagnose the ulcer, and get the proper medication started, the easier it will be on your wallet. The longer the infection lingers before treatment the harder it is to eradicate.
Uveitis is an inflammation of the front of the eye and is often a sign that your horse has other health issues. Appaloosa horses have a tendency to get this disease and it is also known as moon blindness. I can diagnose your horse using a device that checks the pressure within the eye.
Glaucoma is caused from inflammation within the eye and can damage structures such as the retina. Glaucoma can come on suddenly when your horse injures its eye. It must be diagnosed and treated rapidly or the horse will lose sight in the eye. If you suspect your horse has any of these problems with its eye, call your veterinarian today!


We lost our pet after a routine annual vaccination
On April 11th, 2021, we lost our precious Cavalier King Charles — Cookie. She was 4 years, 8 months old. Cookie had her routine annual vaccination on March 11th, 2021. She went into an IMHA (immune-mediated hemolytic anemia) state on Mar 13th, 2021, requiring an urgent blood transfusion. She was on the road to recovery until April 7th, 2021, when she started vomiting repeatedly. Her white blood cell count began dropping to dangerously low levels in the following days and on April 11th, 2021, Cookie passed at our home. The inability of her immune system to fend off a lung infection was the likely final cause of death. From this experience, we learned that pets are routinely over-vaccinated which increases their chances of experiencing negative, and at times, fatal side effects triggered by the vaccine.
I’ve broken up this essay into 3 parts:
- The story
- The research
- What to do moving forward
Disclaimer: I am by no means attempting to provide any professional recommendations. All that is shared in this article is solely a reflection of my experience and the research of a layperson.
Cookie went in for a health check-up and her annual routine vaccination (6 in 1 dog vaccine). We had been informed that it was due at her previous visit. Prior to her vaccination appointment, she had the sniffles and seemed agitated but was otherwise drinking and eating well. Two weeks prior, she had some weight loss but a blood test came up normal. On the day of vaccination, her body temperature was found to be high. She was set aside for 30 minutes to see if it would go down. We were informed, by the vet, that dogs can register a higher body temperature during stressful events like visiting the vet. We left Cookie at the vet for monitoring and when we returned, we were told that her temperature had gone down, and they had proceeded with the vaccination.
All had seemed well until two days later when we noticed that her pee pad was fully soaked in dark brown fluid, and she had begun refusing food. She had bloody diarrhea in the past and fearing it was a repeat, we brought her in to the vet. At that point, we found that she was urinating blood.
Her blood test indicated her Hematocrit (HCT) count was severely below normal levels. She had lost a lot of blood and needed an urgent blood transfusion. The vet suspected it was a vaccination-triggered immune mediated anemia. In other words, the vaccination was causing her body to attack and destroy its own red blood cells.
Finding a dog blood donor is not easy. That’s part of the broken system. However, that deserves a post entirely on its own and that would be for another day. The TL: DR version is that there are no dog blood banks in Malaysia and for the matter, our neighboring country of Singapore. Pet parents are responsible for finding a compatible donor and these are often desperate pleas sent out to friends and family. Another option is broadcasting on social media like Facebook. The only known dog blood database in Malaysia, Dogtorteoh, was only established a month before in March of 2021. Not even the veterinarian hospitals have a readily available database to share; let alone blood for emergencies.
After frantically making calls to everyone in our circle who had a pet dog, a friend’s Rottweiler stepped in to donate blood for Cookie. The transfusion went well. Cookie did not show signs of rejecting the donated blood and we thought the worst was over. She was discharged from the hospital after a few days of monitoring and was prescribed Prednisolone, a corticosteroid to suppress the inflammation associated with allergic responses. That was to continue for the next couple of weeks. Bi-weekly blood tests showed growth in her red blood cell counts, inching towards normality but not quite there yet.
Unfortunately, on Apr 7th, Cookie started vomiting repeatedly. The blood test this time showed not only her red blood cells were plummeting, but her white blood cells were also as well. The vet suspected she was not reacting well to her injection of Azathioprine, an immunosuppressive medication typically used to stop the immune system from attacking itself. Unfortunately, it comes with the potential side effects of bone marrow suppression.
The next couple of days nothing seemed to be effective in reversing the bone marrow suppression. Her blood test results remained concerning. At this juncture, we had the choice of injecting her with a drug called Filgrastim or feeding her another drug called Impromune. Filgrastim is a riskier bet as it’s a human drug used to boost white blood cell count in cancer patients and rarely used in veterinary practice. The vet had to procure it from a human hospital. Impromune, on the other hand, is an orally administered drug more frequently used by vets. As it happened, Impromune was out of stock and we had to take our chances with Filgrastim. It was given to Cookie when she was not responding to any other treatments.
Unfortunately, Filgrastim did not work for Cookie. On Apr 10th around 10:35 PM, we received the call no pet parents ever want to receive. Cookie was in critical condition and we should be prepared for the worst. It was time to have family members come by to say our goodbyes. Cookie was brought back to the comfort of her home, and she took her last breath after a few minutes of struggle on Apr 11th, 2021, just past midnight.
A deadly reaction from vaccination is supposedly a rare occurrence. For the majority of the time, getting your pet vaccinated is the responsible thing to do because there are other concerns and diseases such as rabies, parvovirus etc. that pose legitimate health and safety concerns for your pet, yourself, and your community.
The problem is that our pets are routinely prescribed vaccinations even when they do not need them. They are thereby having increased chances of mounting an immune response to it through repeated exposure. Our pets are over-vaccinated (also known as vaccinosis). Pets are commonly advised by veterinarians to get an annual vaccination. However, since 2003 the American Animal Hospital Associations (AAHA) started recommending dogs not be given the core vaccines more often than every three years. According to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), a single dose is likely to be enough for a lifetime of immunity. At the minimum, studies have indicated that protection is likely much longer between 7 to 9 years and it is recommended that core vaccines are given every 3- 7 years.
Digging deeper into the reading materials available, there is “no evidence that annual boosters are necessary, except in rabies endemic” and giving adult boosters more often will not increase the amount of protection but may introduce unnecessary antigens and excipients, increasing the risk of adverse events like vaccinosis.
This naturally begs the question — why are vets still routinely recommending annual vaccinations? Some believe pet pharma is propelling a system that serves their bottom line. Nonetheless, the reality is never straightforward. The truth is that many animal lives have been protected because of vaccination and for the majority of the time, the pet is fine. One would imagine that a typical vet would veer on the safer side by doing what his or her colleagues in the rest of the world have been doing. And, unfortunately, when it is widely and routinely practiced, the chances of a fatal reaction increase. Coupled with a few self-serving actions from the pet care industry, the system is one that propels the continued prescription of annual vaccination when they are not needed.
What to do moving forward?
Throughout the process, we sought a second opinion from vets available for consultation on PetCoach. We learned that there is a possibility that something was indeed already brewing for Cookie given her pre-vaccination symptoms. The timing of the vaccination may have opened a whole can of worms.
Where would we be today if Cookie did not go in for the vaccination this year but instead 2 years later following the 3-year recommendation? Where would we be today if more vets recognized that annual vaccinations are not required and if something is amiss to break from the standard norm and postpone the vaccination?
Knowing what we know now, there are a few things that will change for us when it comes to vaccinating our pets
- Look for signs of distress and illness in the pet in the weeks leading up to the scheduled vaccination and take it extremely seriously. Any sneezing, discharge in the nose and watery eyes, loss of appetite and energy, or out of ordinary behavior should be communicated to the vet, demand tests, and communicate that no vaccination should be administered without consent.
- Get a titer test before vaccination is administered. An antibody titer test measures the number of antibodies remaining in the pet’s blood. You may still go ahead with the vaccination but doing the test will give you the choice to delay or refuse the booster shot if the amount of antibody, in the pet’s blood, is still found to be high.
- Continue bringing pets to the vet for annual general health check-ups but refuse the recommendation for annual vaccination before any tests are done to ascertain the pet is truly in need of a booster shot.
You’re My Favorite Hello and Hardest Goodbye
Losing a pet is incredibly painful. Cookie is my first pet dog and I have always jokingly told people that she’s my firstborn and my human child will be second. I didn’t even like dogs before Cookie and grew up afraid of them. But Cookie changed everything for me. I depended on Cookie as much as she has on me, if not more. She cheered me up whenever I was upset. Her snuggles relaxed me and I always felt immense joy when we went out on our walks together. I was prepared to battle old-age sickness with Cookie, but I would not have, in a million years, imagined she would be gone so soon. Her short time with us feels like watching a great movie. However, that movie has now ended and I’m only left with scenes from the movie as memories.
There’s a quote from the American author, Dean Koontz, who sums up how I feel — “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.” Cookie is no longer physically with us, but she will always live on in our hearts. It is my hope that no other pet parent will have to go through what we did and that more pet parents would be aware of the risks and choices they have around routine vaccination of their beloved pet. If you are a pet parent who has gone through a similar situation, my heart goes out to you, and know that I am grieving alongside you.

Money raised for shelter during boating event
The Humane Society of Warren County held a Waggin’ for Dragons boat race Saturday to raise money for the shelter.
Lavenda Denney, executive director for The Humane Society of Warren County, said teams had to raise at least $2,000 to participate in the event, with 16 teams competing Saturday.
Teams raced 40-foot canoes decorated with dragon heads and tails along the Shenandoah River. The race was held at the boat landing at the Front Royal Golf Course.
Denney said the proceeds will benefit the shelter by:
• Providing emergency veterinary care to animals that suffered neglect and abuse.
• Purchasing medications to help homeless animals in need of treatment for conditions, such as skin disorders, upper respiratory infections and eye infections.
• Providing homeless animals with food, bedding and toys during their stay in emergency shelters.
• Making much-needed repairs to the animal shelter to ensure appropriate housing for homeless animals
• Ensuring shelter dogs enjoy shelter dog play group sessions that allow them ample time outside of the kennels and to socialize with other dogs.
• Educating the community on the importance of spay and neuter procedures and ensuring a reduction in the number of unwanted litters surrendered to the shelter.
• Promoting the Hand In Paw (Helping People and Pets in Crisis) assistance fund that provides aid to those in the community that would otherwise be forced to relinquish their pet.
Denney added that this was the third year the shelter has put this event together.

3 Tips For Setting Up A Fish Aquarium After It's Been In Storage
Fortunately, most fish aquariums hold up pretty well in storage, especially if you break them down properly before storing them and keep them in a heated unit. In order to come out of storage unscathed, glass aquariums should only be stored after they are completely dry. They should also be stored empty - placing things inside the aquarium can apply pressure to the seams of the aquarium - and wrapped up so they won't get broken. If you did all of this before you stored your aquarium, you likely won't run into any problems setting it back up. Following are three tips for setting up an aquarium after it's been in storage.
Clean It Thoroughly
When you bring your aquarium out of storage, it will probably have white, crusty-looking stains on the inside of it. These are hard water stains and can be cleaned. The first thing you should remember about cleaning an aquarium is that you should never use soap or cleaning agents of any kind. Since many sponges have chemicals and cleaning agents built in, always purchase your cleaning sponge from a pet store. Dip the sponge in vinegar or a solution of salt and water to clean out the inside of the tank. Once you scrub it out, be sure to rinse it thoroughly to remove all odors and residue.
Check for Leaks
Fill up your tank to capacity and let it sit for several days to check for leaks. If your tank has shifted or developed a leak while in storage, you can fix it with aquarium sealant. First you have to remove all of the old sealant in the affected area with a razor blade. Clean and dry the area as described above. Use nontoxic, 100 percent silicone to seal the area. Let the sealant cure for at least 24 hours.
Cycle It Again
All of the beneficial bacteria that keeps your tank healthy cannot survive in storage. For this reason, you will have to cycle your tank after you set it up and fill it with water. The cycle must be complete before you add any fish. Cycling involves placing an ammonia source in the aquarium that mimics the waste produced by fish. You can use fish food, a piece of shrimp or pure ammonia. The ammonia will provide food for the bacteria you need. It can take several weeks to properly cycle an aquarium.
It isn't that difficult to set up an aquarium after it has been in storage. However, you have to be patient. While you may want to get fish as quickly as possible, you have to first create a clean, healthy environment for them.

Read what Dr Karin has to say about communicating with your dog!
Often I hear a dog owner say, “If only they could speak!” And then I want to answer: “But they do speak! You’re just not listening!”
We as humans are a verbal species. We would love for our doggy friends to reply in words we can easily understand. But English is a second language for them. Their first language is body talk – a language communication skill in which they generally say (show), quite clearly, exactly what they mean. Our problem is that we as humans tend to mostly listen with our ears, rather than our eyes, and therefore miss so much of what they say.
Your dog talks to you in three specific ways: with behaviour, with body language and by voice. Hone your observational skills to decode your dog’s messages. Then respond with clear signals in order to communicate most effectively. Body language is the bridge to communicating with your dog. The more you learn about your dog’s subtle body language messages, the better you’ll be at reading them – and then also at intervening appropriately. It’s important to not only focus on just one piece of the message. The various parts of a dog’s body work together to tell the complete story; unless you read them all and interpret them in context, you’ll miss important elements. Because dog communication is a constant flow of information, it’s sometimes difficult to pick out small signals until you’ve become an educated observer.
Dogs tell us when they feel stressed. If you are aware of your dog’s stress-related body signals, you can help him in situations that could escalate to unwanted behaviours and aggression. Many dog bites occur because owners fail to recognize and respond to their dogs’ stress signals. There are many other reasons why it’s important to recognise anxiety: stress can impact negatively impact on a dog’s health; dogs learn poorly when stressed; dogs respond poorly to cues when stressed; and negative classical conditioning can occur as a result of stress.
The smart, aware owner or trainer is always on the alert for signs that a dog is stressed, so she can alleviate tension when it occurs. In many cases the intensity of the stressful stimulus can be decreased by increasing the distance between the dog and the stressor, be it a child, another dog, uniforms, men with beards, harsh verbal corrections, shock collars etc. And If possible, the stressor should be removed from the dog’s environment entirely.
For those stressors that can’t be eliminated, a program of conditioning and desensitization can change a dog’s association with a stressor from negative to positive. Another strategy is to teach the dog a new operant response to the stressor – for example, teaching your dog that the scary sound of the telephone means “Run to your bed to get a tasty treat.”
Any observant person knows that dogs also offer a lot of happy communications. Behaviours such as jumping up, pawing, nudging, barking, and mouthing are often about happy excitement and
attention-seeking. Look for the signals that tell you your dog is happy and use these positive influences or behaviours in further training.
Our Online Course – Introduction to Dog Psychology and Training
If you’ve longed to know what’s going on in your dog’s heart and mind, and to communicate back, our course is a good starting point to find ways to connect. Learn to read what your dog is saying to you, and speak to your dog in a language your dog can understand. You will learn about canine psychology, senses, dog training, dog obedience, solving behavioural disorders, and much more.
Our course is suitable for students and dog owners, and anyone wanting to learn more about dogs and their behaviour and training.
Your dog is talking. And he speaks to you all the time. Remember to listen with your eyes.


Moving can be tough, but it can also be tough on our furry friends. Even if sometimes it can feel like our pets can understand exactly what weâ€™re talking about, moving day can be confusing and overwhelming for them. If you have dogs, cats, fish, or anything in between, these simple tips from an expert moving company in Granite Bay can help you make your moving process go smoothly for both you and your pets.
1. Pack a day of moving bag
Just like we mentioned in our day-of moving checklist blog post, packing a day-of moving bag is important. But packing a bag for your pet is also a key piece to having a smooth trip with your four-legged friend. Consider packing a ziploc bag of food, kitty litter, their favorite toys, grooming tools, and their bed. It might be a few days before your new home really feels like home, but you can help make the transition a little easier on your pets by having all of their favorite things close by.
2. Choose a safe place for your pets to stay while moving
If you have anxious or aggressive pets, it is probably best to have your pets stay with someone they know while you move. Moving can be noisy and having strangers inside your home isnâ€™t always easy for pets. Taking your pets to a friend or familyâ€™s house before the move can help avoid any extra anxiety for them. If your pets are pretty easy going, closing your pets into a quiet room while the movers do their job usually works well. But, most of the time, keeping your pets outside of your home is best for everyone.
3. Pet proof your home before they arrive
If you choose to take your pet to a friend or familyâ€™s home while you move, itâ€™s a good idea to pet proof your new home before you pick them up again. Make sure you remove any electrical cords that might be left out and to secure all of the screens in the windows. Finally, do a sweep around your new house looking for any pest-control poison traps or any other potentially dangerous items for your pets.
4. Adjust to one room first
Once you bring your pets into your home, have them adjust to one room first. Try moving in some of their favorite toys and have things as set up as possible. This will allow your pets to adjust to any new smells, sounds, and sights before having access to the entire house.
5. Final tips
Other things to remember while youâ€™re moving with pets is to find a new vet and have your old vet send over any important information to them. Also, remember to update their tags or microchip information to represent your new address and phone number. Finally, keep a close eye on your pets during the first few weeks because if they get out, itâ€™s possible theyâ€™ll get lost.
Moving with pets doesnâ€™t come with a one-size-fits-all solution, but we hope these tips for moving in Granite Bay with your pets can help make the experience a little better for you and your furry friends.

At both Moon Creek Veterinary Clinic and Hull Veterinary Clinic we offer an array of surgeries for your dog or cat. Our veterinarians have performed thousands of companion animal surgeries in their many years of experience. If you have any questions about a possible surgery your dog or cat may need, give us a call!
Canine and Feline Spays & Neuters
A ovariohysterectomy otherwise known as a spay consists of the removal of the ovaries and uterus. A neuter consists of the removal of the testicles. These are both same day surgeries at Moon Creek and Hull Veterinary Clinics which means your pet will go home the same day as the surgery was performed.
Pain medication will be administered post surgery and will also be sent home with the owner to give.
It is important to monitor your animal's incision for the first week after their spay or neuter.
Limiting things such as jumping, licking of the area, and rough-housing for the first 3-4 days is essential to the incisions healing process.
The removing of a feline's claws is a process known as declawing. Our clinic's require your feline stays overnight for observation after the declawing. We offer both front claw removals and all four claw removals.
Pain medication will be administered post surgery
You can expect tenderness related to the procedure for the first 1-2 weeks.
Replace the litter in the litter box with shredded paper for at least 5 days.
Limiting things such as licking of the area and rough-housing for the first 3-4 days is essential to the healing process.
Other surgeries offered
Hernias are not uncommon in young dogs/puppies. We offer Umbilical and Inguinal hernia repairs. This is a simple same day surgery at our clinics.
Cherry Eye's happen when a tear duct in your dog's third eye lid becomes inflamed. While it may not be painful to your dog, it can be irritating and cause sight issues. This is a simple same day surgery offered at both of our clinics.
Ear Hematoma's are a swelling of the ear flap. An accumulation of blood builds up in the ear flap and can be very irritating for your canine. This is a same day surgery that is offered at both of our clinics.
We offer consultations and x-rays when your dog or cat swallows something they aren't supposed to. Foreign bodies can be detrimental to your furry friends if not caught and treated. We offer this service at Moon Creek Veterinary Clinic.
