So, you want to take a puppy Hovawart. You should know that the impressive appearance of Hovawart is not its main advantage, and that the destination of the breed carrying the duty. Are you ready to live next to a dog that does not agree to be just another cute, fluffy friend, but will periodically show you its character and dictate the terms of cohabitation? Are you ready at least 3 hours a day to devote to outdoors activities, doing the walking for your dog? Would you like to spend a lot of time training your friend? If the answer to these and many other questions is positive, then you are ready to take responsibility for growing and training of Hovawart.
The main problem of Hovawart is its beautiful appearance. It is not probably a coincidence that many “uneducated” dog dog-fanciers often confuse our beautiful pale-yellow Hoviks with Golden Retriever. And any owner of Hovawart tell you that between Hovawart and Golden Retriever is one big difference – it is not golden. Hovawart character does not meet his charming appearance, but who said that the owners of Hovawarts love them just for appearence? I myself pfirst of all love in Hovawart his independence and self-sustaining. This is a winner and leader, this is your friend, but not a servant.
Those dog lovers who want an obedient, sweet, reliable companion must look toward other species. Hovawart will be courteous, kind, and obedient, but only in case if his muster would make quite a lot of effort, will be consistent and be able to devote to his education a lot of time in the beginning. This dog is not for the ever-busy people. But the result will justify your efforts, the more time you can devote Hovik, the faster and closer your relationship will become, the better you will understand each other, so attached to you will become your friend.
Thus, doubts and disputes in the family are already behind, you have decided on a puppy Hovawart. Congratulations! Terms of our associates has become even greater. Whom to take: a girl or a boy? The issue requires further discussion. As a happy owner of a boy and a girl, I want to share my thoughts on the matter.
Hovic girls and boys, differ not only in appearance, but also in character and behavior. Of course girls are smaller than boys, their weight will not exceed 35 kg (my bitch is quite large, but at the same time weighs about 33 kg.) Boys are higher and weigh to 40-45 kg. To keep in place such a joy, if it rushed somewhere to save all humanity at once, is rather difficult. Boys are straightforward and immediately make it clear what they want and where “pricked” his skis. Girls are good policies like real women, are ready to ” to throw dust in your eyes ” and with completely innocent look mess things up. Females are more demanding and capricious, confident, and at the same time sensitive. Slyness of Hovik girls knows no boundaries, and as a rule, it refer to the admissible limits of their actions and behavior that are defined by muster. Even the most docile Hovik periodically can pretend that somehow it not hear the commands of the owner. Her whole appearance said: ” Somewhat I can hear you bad, probably a master has voice problems.” The girls interact well with other dogs, they are not so dominant, they respect the authority of senior dogs and did not always aspire to be leaders in the company, though willing to be them. Their desire to be the first is more a whim rather than a serious bid for supremacy. As a rule, girls are easier to train, they are more flexible. The things that the boys understand at the fifth attempt, the girls are ready to execute at the first. But in the same time boys work better and are more temperamental, they often have abetter developed game and hunting instinct. The boy will work in any case: whether you like it or not. Our task is to give him the opportunity to realize their instincts to maximize benefits to you and minimalize “victims” quantety from the rest of society. And do not try to make a teddy bear of him, we must learn to manage this beautiful and strong dog. At the same time boys are always spectacular: they are powerful, strong, proud, they have beautiful heads. I would compare them with a medieval lord, who are satisfied with himself and his destiny. If the girl Hovawart is a little princess, the boy Hovawart is a king who persistently tries to explain to all members of the household that he is in charge. He does this with German thoroughness, persistently, with the charming rolling up his brown eyes. Such a king is hard to refuse, and you have to show guts and character as its owner, to resist his charms. More than one year will be spent in order to explain this to the king that the main house is the owner, and then only he. Comparing my Hoviks I can say that the boy is not ashamed to show his affection to the owner and sometimes it happens all too persistent and energetic, he always wants to be close, while still running all the time. Moreover, the speed of commands execution is much higher among boys than among girls who waits each time for the owner to confirm his command. Girls shows periodically their autonomy.
Where do we get Hovawart puppy? Question for the dog of such a rare breed is very relevant. In Ukraine, on October 1, 2009 (according to my data) are no more than 10 Hovawarts. In October, puppies were born in Zaporozhye and, hopefully, most of them will stay with us in Ukraine. Thus, the collective of Hovawarts in Ukraine will grow by another 6 Hoviks. In Ukraine, there are still no monobreed clubs because of the small size of our favorites, but I and my fellow owners of Hovawarts are always happy to give the necessary information, which we have ourselves about new litters of Hovawarts in Ukraine, Russia, or near abroad.
In many countries Hovawart is a very rare breed, and the search for a breeder and litter may require much more effort than the intention to get a dog of more popular and accessible breed.
If a breeder currently have a litter from which he can offer you a puppy, you should find out as much as possible about the parents of the puppy (appearance, behavior, character, etc.). Ask to see photos of puppies ancestors and learn about hereditary diseases. You must also be prepared to answer questions of the breeder about your experiences with Hovawart or any other breed, your social status and the potential possibility to give your puppy a decent accommodation and care, about the purpose of taking a puppy: if you want a puppy “for the family or are planning to put him at the exhibitions, engage in training; etc. At one time, getting our beautiful Olivia and glorious knight Cherokee, we certainly passed such tests with their breeders. And believe me there were many questions. Once you have inquired about the past of the puppy and the breeder has decided that you deserve, to become the owner of one of them, you can proceed directly to choosing a puppy. Sex, color, behavior, ability of a puppy are key factors in choosing a puppy and the breeder will be your aide in the selection.
You should make a decision to take a puppy with all responsibility, with the understanding of what is more suitable to your family and your lifestyle. Attachment of the dogs to the children can not be developed without special training. If the animal will be in an environment that will irritate him, the dog will obey the master out of fear that can lead to aggression. For example, a puppy should never be presented to the child as a gift. In many cases this is a spontaneous decision, and the bustle and noise of the holiday is not a suitable atmosphere for meeting a puppy with its new owners.
Rational and balanced environment, a place specially prepared be the owner for his puppy, will help the puppy to develop a balanced character, of which he is expected. After a short time a puppy can be an ideal family friend, if you gently teach him to obey.
For families who have previously had no experience of living with dogs, it is better to choose a girl, they are easily to manage, they develop maternal instinct, which will bring up an excellent guardian, without any desire for domination inherited by males. Of course, this is a generalization and in each individual case you should also take into account the particular nature of each puppy. It is important clearly understand what you expect from such addition to your family. You want, that your Hovawart would be just a companion and bodyguard for the family, or you want to develop its working qualities. Do you want your pat to take part in the exhibitions? What suits you the best starting from your free time that you can devote to a dog What does more fit to your character?
Once you have answered these questions, the breeder will select a suitable puppy or a few, than you will be able to choose yourself. If you choose from several puppies, very often the decisive factor is the color that best catch the fancy. Now you only have to find a suitable name for your new friend.
You have chosen a Hovawart, it means that you have decided on the characteristics that your dog should have, to be the best to your family and your lifestyle. If you chose a breeder, then you have taken another step forward, you have found a responsible, conscientious person who breeds dogs, and will your assistant, who you can rely on, if you and your puppy will need help.
The funniest days you will begin when the puppy will come at home.
Puppy is practically a small child. A child who is completely helpless in the world of people, and who trusts his master, with a hope that he will help him survive in a world incomprehensible to him. In addition to food, water and shelter, the puppy needs care, protection and love. If you are not ready to give it all, you are not ready to get a dog.
You might think its all is too difficult. You might feel that all your friends who are dog owners do not have so many worries. As soon as your puppy feels better in your house, it quickly becomes part of your lifestyle. In any case, neither to you nor to the puppy will not hurt such thorough preparation for taking a dog. With some patience and perseverance, it is not too difficult to grow from a curious and somewhat disorderly puppy, balanced dog with good manners – a dog that will become your most loyal friend.
TRAINING IN YOUR HOME FOR THE PUPPY PLACE
You should prepare a place for the puppy as carefully as you chose a pat. Preparation of the house depends on how much freedom you are going to give your dog. Whatever you decide, you should make sure that the puppy will have a place that he can have only for himself.
Remember that when you bring a puppy into your house, this becomes his house too. He should feel welcome in a new and strange place for him. The adjustment usually does not take much time, but the stress caused by unexpected removing to a new location, can injure the puppy.
Imagine what would feel in such situation a little kid, a puppy feels just the same. And it will depend on you how the puppy will get used to the new place.
If you have an unpredictable life, with frequent changes of regime, it can be a problem for the puppy. A puppy requires regular feeding at the same time, constant communication, familiarity with other people, education, and most important regular exercise, at a certain time. When the puppy grows, he can better bear the changes in meal times and walks.
WHAT SHOULD ACQUIRE
Place to sleep
A soft place to sleep in the form of bedding or mini sofa will help the dog to feel himself at home. Earlier Hovawart primitive ancestors used the leaves and sticks to arrange a place, your puppy will want to create their own cave in his place. Although your puppy is far away from his primitive ancestors, the instinct to create a “cave” had stayed.
Toys are needed for a dog of any age, but especially for little curious puppy. Puppies are little children, and what child does not like toys. Toys that he can chew, give pleasure, both to a puppy and to the owner – the puppy will enjoy playing with their favorite toys, and the owner – the fact that his pet is not chewing the expensive shoes or a new leather sofa. Puppies love to chew, chew is practically their physiological need, when the teeth cut and grow everything looks so appetizing. All of your assets, starting from kitchen towels and ending with oriental carpets – have no value for a puppy who is teething. When a small Hovawart is teething, everything seems equally delicious.
Puppies at this period can be given only the most solid toys. Breeders recommend abandon toys that are stuffed with something, because they are spoiled almost immediately. During a play puppy can swallow the stuffing of a toy, which is inedible.
Also very popular are squeaking toys, but they also should not be given to Hovawart. Squeaking toy can be used as an aid in training, but not as toy for the puppy that he an swallow squeaking element. Closely monitor the toys your puppy use, and immediately dispose those that look too chewed up, they can be dangerous.
Be careful with the natural bone, which can be split into small sharp pieces. Just be careful with rawhide skin, which breaks into small pieces and can easily be swallowed, as well as creating a mess on your carpet.
Soft fabric leash is probably the best option. Soft leash is very light, it’s good for the young Hovawart, who only gets used to walk on a leash. For daily use a security fabric leash is the best option for the puppy.
When the puppy grows up, the leash should be replaced with thicker and durable. Also you should have a flexible leash. Such leash gives s possibility to regulate the length that will give the dog a fairly large area for a stroll or, conversely, will keep him close to you.
Your puppy must be accustomed to wear a collar on the street constantly, as soon as you attach to it an identification card or keychain. Lightweight fabric collar is a good choice. Make sure that it leans fairly closely and the puppy will not be able to withdraw it, but at the same time, it is not strangling a puppy. You should be able to stick your finger between the collar and the neck of a pup. Puppies need time to get used to wear the collar, but with time he stop even to notice it. Tight collar can be used for dog training, but it is not recommended to use for Hovawart. This breed is better trained on the basis of rewards than restrictions.
Collar with a buckle: a standard version for everyday use. Just make sure can be regulated for the growing puppy. Check the size every day. It may be small after one night. Such a collar can be made of leather or fabric. Attach an identification card to the collar. Tight collar: set up for training. With this collar you can control the pressure on the neck of a dog, the dog immediately stops any action, as soon as he begins to feel himself uncomfortable because of the collar.
DISHES FOR FOOD
Your puppy will need two bowls – one for food and one for water. You can purchase two sets of bowls, one for use at home and one for use outside, to feed the dog, where he spends his time. The most frequent choice – is a polished steel bowl or a strong plastic bowl. Plastic bowls dog can chew, steel is not likely to give your pet such desire.
To prevent overeating and overweighting of your puppy, you should clearly set the standards for the size of bowls for food and water selected for your pet. It is important that the bowl would be located at a comfortable height for the puppy, while taking food or water puppy can do it without bending over a bowl, but standing in a comfortable position. Then the risk that in the process of eating puppy will swallow a lot of air is lower, because it can lead to a bloating.
Until the moment when the puppy is fully adapted to his new lifestyle, you have to clean very often. Unpleasant surprises can occur in the process of inurement the puppy to the toilet, because the puppy does not understand where he can do it. Anything you can do to prepare yourself to clean up immediately, as soon as it is needed. It would be nice to stock up special absorbent diapers for puppies or absorbent baby diapers, as well as safe cleaning products. The duration of inurement to the toilet is individual for each puppy. But basically, at the age of 6-7 months all the puppies are ready to do his toilet in the street only on the condition that you will be able to go outside at least 3 times a day.
Other requirements of a puppy
All said above was a necessary foundation for a comfortable stay of a puppy in your house. Once you cope with the basic needs, you will see that besides them there are a lot of other things that are required, namely, the care for a puppy, protection against fleas and ticks, children’s caps to ensure that the puppy would not got into those places where he may get injured. A set of these items may vary depending on where you live. But you should always have all that is necessary to feed the puppy and ensure his health, both physical and spiritual in the new house.
Small can and can not in the life of a puppy
Buying a puppy you should ask the breeder how has he fed the puppy and in the beginning follow the same feeding schedule and the same menu. You should start feeding the puppy with the food that he used to have by a breeder, the breeder should give you food for a few days, to use in the beginning. You should not be too actively involved in the process of feeding, otherwise you risk to spoil your puppy, you do not need to feed the puppy, he should be able to eat herself.
From the first day teach the puppy that some things are possible, and the others are strictly forbidden impossible. For example, the puppy will want to inspect the bathroom and other rooms where the animals should not come. When this happens you should tell strict “No” to the puppy and remove him from the room. If the puppy try it once more, he should be again removed out of the room the puppy will quickly understand the ban.
Of course, you should never leave a puppy unattended in the street, but a puppy can be released to frolic in a private yard, where you are convinced in his safety.
Carefully examine your lawn and yard, before you bring the puppy home. Many plants have leaves, stems, flowers, which are toxic and poisonous, and you can not protect a puppy from their study. Therefore you should limit access of your puppy to them.
First visit to the Veterinary
You have chosen a puppy, your home and family ready for its reception. All that’s left to do is pick up the puppy home. But it is not so simple.
Still you need to plan your puppy’s first visit to the vet. Perhaps the breeder will be able to recommend you to someone who has experience of working with Hovawart or similar breeds, you may be familiar with other dog owners, who may recommend a good specialist. In any case, you should arrange a visit in the first days after you picked a puppy home.
The first visit will consist of a comprehensive inspection that would verify that the puppy has no ailments that may be invisible to you. Also veterinarian will develop a schedule of vaccinations for the puppy, the breeder will tell you what immunizations have already been made, and the veterinarian will do the rest.
MEETING the family
Everybody will be delighted by the appearance of a puppy, everyone wants to play with him and to cuddle, but it’s better that the acquaintance will not happen so fast, not to overwhelm your puppy. He’s already confused. He was separated from his family and the breeder for the first time, and a trip to your house – is his first trip in the car. The last thing you want the puppy to feel depressed, and active examination may only scare him. We should not think that any contact is not desirable at this point, because at this time forms the bound of a puppy with his family. Mild treatment and gentle words will help to soothe the puppy, so you should leave him for some time alone that he could safely explore the territory (of course under your supervision).
As soon as the pup got to know his new family, he must be given time, that he could calmly consider the territory. Puppy may revolve around family members or independently explore the surroundings. Gradually, all family members should spend time with a puppy, dropping to the floor, to be on a par with a puppy, letting him sniff their hands and gently patting him. A little puppy definitely needs human attention and touch, in this way forms the attachment by the puppy to the family.
Choose a puppy from a few sweet snouts is not easy. To choose a puppy with appropriate for you temperament is important, because all the puppies have their own personality, some of them may pass you by the character more or less. Mobile, independent puppy suit people with older children, shy puppy will not produce a lot of noise and destruction. Breeder knows the puppies better than anyone and will help you to decide.
Good luck to you and your little Hovik!


Dogs Getting Plastic Surgery Became A New Trend In South Korea, The World Is Baffling
We know there are many celebrities who undergo cosmetic surgery to look ravishing and make a mark in the entertainment industry, but we have not often heard about animals going under the knife. According to Chosun Ilbo, one of South Korea’s biggest newspapers, some people in South Korea are apparently getting cosmetic surgery for their pets in an attempt to make them, especially dogs, look more cute. Chosun Ilbo reports that it’s mostly dogs getting plastic surgery, with popular procedures including tail shortening to make the animal, ahem, cuter and ear trimming to make them pointier as well as procedures humans get like straightening wrinkles, double eyelid surgery, removing stomach stretch marks, removing fat, and even botox. Yes, dog botox. "Plastic surgery for pets in the past were for medical reasons but the result also brought better looking dogs, so there is a growing customer base getting a plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons on their dogs," an unnamed veterinarian said. Another vet, named Dr. Yoon, said that cosmetic surgery for dogs was “medically safe” and that it was “the owner’s right” to make their pet beautiful. However, many netizens have come forward to express their dislike on the increasing number of dog cosmetic surgeries in the country. Then, what do you think? Welcome to share your opinions with us!

At the end of April 2010 we added a new member to the Adelgreene clan. Her name is Olive and she is a beautiful little tabby.
Susie had been wanting to get a kitten pretty much since moved in together, but I have always had allergies to cats. Earlier this year, Susie's sister found her perfect feline companion in Olive's brother and, after a few weeks of knowing that there was a runt kitten that needed a home I broke down and called the owner.
What I did not do was tell Susie that we were getting a kitten. I told her that I had a surprise for her and, for some reason, she assumed that I had gotten her a bicycle so I knew that she had no idea.
We went to meet Olive together. She was such a cute little furr-ball!
It took her a few days to come to terms with her new home, but we were happy to find out that she was already litter trained. The other thing that we learned very quickly was that she is very affectionate. She loves to play and she loves to cuddle.
The odd thing was that she didn't purr. It was probably three days before we heard her purring for the first time. It wasn't for me, and it wasn't for Susie. It was for Lacey, who was cleaning her thoroughly. By the time she was done, Olive was soaked through and through ... She looked just like a gremlin.
Olive is the bravest animal I have ever met. She has no fear of dogs or people, and absolutely no fear of heights. The first time she climbed up on our screen door I was shocked, but now it's common to find her walking along a one inch railing around our balcony. Of course, it scares the hell out of us.
The other day Susie was looking for Olive and it turns out that she was sitting on top of the air conditioner on the outside of our kitchen on the third floor of our stacked townhouse. There's barely enough room for her to fit through the gap but, sure enough, there she was sitting 40 feet in the air as comfortable as can be.
She loves to sit in front of computer screens. I'm not sure if it's the warmth, or if it's just her picking a place where she knows that she will be the centre of attention, but she keeps walking on laptop keyboards. Somehow she always manages to step on "Return" and "Tab" over and over, which means that she has renamed almost everything on both of our desktops at least once.
At first I was sure it was the heat, but now she climbs on my chest every time I lay down on my back with my iPad in my hands as well. I'm almost convinced that she's sitting where she'll get the most attention.
I know that there is no way a cat could possibly understand how to work a computer. The very thought seems a ridiculous notion. The weird thing is that I don't understand how a cat could possibly find and play Jason Mraz on iTunes on several different machines. I even deleted Jason Mraz from my library entirely and she managed to start a movie that I had never seen before that had Jason Mraz singing the opening credits.
Now, Olive is almost 2 years old and she is already a little bigger than her mother, who we met when we picked her up. We're hoping that she doesn't grow much more ... She's perfect right now.


The approximate ages of sexual maturity for dogs are: Are you maybe thinking of buying a Yorkshire Terrier, not sure how to go about it, what questions to ask, how to look after and train your little friend?
This question may be answered vaguely, because there are disabled people that do not want to disclose their disability, with may be invisible. Not all of them do so immediately. Important information if you have children! If there are reactions to the rabies vaccine we pre-treat with antihistamines or corticosteroids and just give the vaccine, because it is required by law and because the risk to the dog of not being vaccinated is high not only from rabies but from the public health laws if it bites someone and isn't properly vaccinated.
Certification requirements for keeping domestic pets, regulations for zoos and pet shops, and penalties for infractions and in c. This really proves the point that has been made here so often. IF the dogs you are viewing "are" well bred, then you should get a pedigree - preferably a 5 generation, showing just how well bred the puppy is.
So, at the present time we are in the process of deciding what vaccine interval we will use for dogs over the next few years. Ellie was so timid, barked all the time, was very slow learning anything and took a while to take to any visitors.
Org, and for books can be an extreme model to extremes. Book your flight, if possible together with your dog and no stop over in any country to avoid stress for your pet and for yourself.
We booster the vaccinations that seemed necessary at one year of age. It is possible that this vaccine confers lifelong immunity once it does work but most veterinarians continue to recommend yearly vaccination for it.
Must I have my dog professionally trained? I have even learnt how to groom them both properly. It is the person with a disabilities choice as to what breed the dog may be.
Vaccinating your pet for rabies may literally save its life for two reasons. Most often, the separation anxiety can be resolved if you know exactly what to do. Responsible breeders will not give Registration papers with a pet quality puppy.
Although far from trying to defend or reinstate this method, I must still say: If you want to prevent this from happening then you must know what to look for so you know when a bitch is in heat: Since this vaccine does not reliably last a year it makes more sense to vaccinate dogs approximately 2 weeks prior to boarding for maximum effectiveness and to repeat the vaccination at 6 month intervals in dogs who are frequently boarded or frequently exposed to other dogs, such as at shows or working events.
What are the things that dogs and cats being kenneled most likely to be exposed to? And are setting themselves up for a lawsuit by the person denied access.
The right diet, exercise and care really make all the difference. You may notice male dogs giving her more attention.
If vaccination for leptospirosis or bordetellosis is necessary for your dogs, these vaccines usually provide protection for less than a year. With the new vaccines available now, it should take three vaccinations spaced about 3 weeks apart to ensure vaccine success in most puppies.Registration isn’t useless, however.
It’s a good starting point for determining your puppy’s background.
If a breeder of a supposed purebred puppy doesn’t have the proper registration papers from a recognized registry, then you should be suspicious. Jan 08, · And it is possible the breeder withheld papers because she sold a pet quality dog and does not consider the dog to be of breeding quality.
I don't know, but either way I'd forget about breeding, there are way too many dogs and pups euthanized every day, just enjoy the dog for the wonderful pet it agronumericus.com: Resolved.
Martin Shkreli’s Blog. My thoughts on biopharma and other topics like my friendship with my best friend mo she is seriously the best and i love her dog ringo i do not compare to him at all. Do realize that not all dogs are dog-park material.
Veterinarians patch up a lot of dogs because owners insist on taking dogs with "issues" into dog parks (and, yes, there are dog-park fatalities, too). May 11, · Best Answer: You can't show a dog in any AKC sanctioned show without his registration papers to show he's purebred. If your dog doesn't have papers, just enjoy him as a pet.
You can still take him to obedience classes, train him for agility or flyball and have fun with him!Status: Resolved. If your dog has spent the entire last 6 months in a rabies-free country (UK, Hawaii, etc) then they can enter with proper documenation with a 10 day quarantine.
From the U.S. or Canada a 10 day or more (up to day quarantine) is mandatory depending on the length of time since the last rabies shot.Download


Please, please, please don't let Chief CHEW on them. Those bits could get caught in his intestines and kill him! You wouldn't know the symptoms until way too late.
It is like my friend's dauschhound that ate some tinsel. He had been around it for years and years and never bothered with it. By the time he was ill enough to show symptoms, the run to the vet was too late. She lost her beloved little dog.
It is the same with people giving their dogs those DAMMNED rawhide bones. Two of my friend's basset hounds had to have emergency surgery and almost didn't make it because the rawhide had become caught in their intestine and had to be surgically removed. $300.00 each dog later, they were allowed to go home with the proviso that Betty would get rid of all rawhide 'treats' in the house. The best present to give a dog owner is a "Nylabone", bought at any good pet store. It is all nylon, an inert material and dissolves in the dog's stomach acid when the dog chews on it to keep it's teeth and gums healthy.
Please try to keep the bags away from Chief. I kind of like that guy, my Silver thinks he is as handsome as he is, and Minnie is just over the moon for both Chief and Bert.

P. S. The $300.00 quote was for surgery about ten years ago.
$600.00 for two dogs surgery now days is just for the anaesthesia?
Betty still gets the shakes when she thinks how close she came to losing her best buds back then.
There are specially made 'tunnels' that are plastic bags from the pet stores to make 'crinkly' sounds encased in fabric so the cat can't get to the bag, but still make the 'sound'.
I personally think he likes the 'warmth' radiating back up to his body from the plastic. It would be better to get a hunk of Fleece, cut into a generous square of about 15"x15", doubled over and hem-stitched a couple of times at the edge, into a nice pad for each cat to warm themselves on. Fleece is not that expensive for a good heavy weight fleece to make a cat pad. I have a child's small carry-blankie made by "Boo" (a company no longer available to the general public) and my cats love it. Thanks again for the YouTube flashback in memory.Cait

Chief looks to be a long haired Siamese. Siamese are notorious to love to chew on wool and yarn products. My Siamese Sampson had that habit. The vet's solution was to remove his back teeth, which is guess is the way to stop them from chewing yarn products. I couldn't afford the surgery, so Sampson had to go to a better home than mine. We had many years of 'talking' together though. He knew in the morning when he would talk to me and I fumbled with the coffee pot and said "Sam, give me a couple of minutes to wake up, will you?" He would literally sit at the kitchen table and wait for the coffee to get done, then continue his 'conversation' with me. I hated to give him away, but I simply could not afford the surgery, but know that he went to the best home I could have found him.
He went to two elderly people that lived in an apartment building that had lost their first Siamese when someone let him out of the building. They took wonderfully good and marvelous care of Sam, and loved him as much as I would have until he passed on to the Cat Heaven to be with Jesus....and to wait for us when we got there.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) will accept fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants — no questions asked.
A presentation on invasive species also will be held from 12 to 12:30 p.m. Animal ambassadors will be on hand to meet and learn from, and a photobooth will be available where you can take your picture with a rescued pet.
In some areas, there are no rehoming options for exotic animals such as fish, birds, and reptiles. Some pet owners that are unable to care for their pet may think that releasing the animal is the right thing to do; however, releasing a pet is harmful for the animal and the environment.
JRAAR will host the event with help from several other area organizations including Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance, Winnebago Waterways, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.
This program is possible due to sponsors Animart and Festival Foods.
For more information about the Exotic Pet Surrender Event, email John Moyles of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Moving With Pets Doesn’t Have to be a ‘Cat-astrophe!’
Mary Prenon | May 10, 2017
Buying or selling a home can be stressful enough for humans, but when you enter your four-legged family members into the mix, the fur could really start to fly!
In addition to constantly cleaning up shedding pet hair, home sellers are often at a quandary of where to keep their pets during home showings. Dana Ebbecke, animal behavior counselor at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City, suggests it may be best to keep pets out of the fray during showings.
“There may be many new people coming and going, and it can be quite easy for pets to dart out the door during the commotion,” said Ebbecke. “Putting the pets away in a safe and familiar environment, like a crate with a yummy long-lasting treat, can be the least stressful scenario for both the pet and the potential home buyers. You can also consider sending your pet to daycare or pet sitters for the day, as long as the pet is comfortable in those environments”
As far as “crating” animals, Ebbecke notes if the crate is a comfortable and familiar place for the pet, spending some time in it shouldn’t be stressful for most dogs or cats, as long as it’s not for excessive amounts of time. “Pet parents can break up crate times with a nice walk or fun game to help alleviate boredom or stress,” she added.
Whether you’re selling or buying, chances are you’ll be packing as well. The whole scenario of cleaning out closets, stacking boxes and moving furniture can also have a stressful effect on our furry friends. “Cats, in particular, aren’t big fans of change,” said Ebbecke. “You can help your cats—and skittish dogs—adjust to the moving process by bringing in moving boxes early, and by keeping them in a familiar room that you plan to pack up last.”
On moving day, Ebbecke suggests keeping pets in a quiet room with the door shut, or at a friend’s house, and trying to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. “For cats, it is a good idea to acclimate them to the carrier as far in advance of moving day as possible. Arrange the carrier in a favorite spot and use food, toys, familiar bedding, and catnip to get them comfortable with the carrier,” she said.
In some cases, Ebbecke said, pet owners may want to consider a boarding facility to hold them on moving day. “If the pet is comfortable being boarded or gets boarded in an already familiar environment, that may be the best choice for them. If the pet finds new or loud environments stressful, it may be preferable for the pet to stay in a crate or carrier during the moving process,” she said.
For pets that haven’t spent much time in crates or cars, her recommendation is to get them used to it in the weeks or even months leading up to the move. She suggests to prepare your pets by gradually acclimating them to their crates. First, place their food inside an open crate, and eventually have them eat their meals in the crate with the door shut.
Try carrying your pets around the house in the crate or taking a short drive. You can help your pets develop a positive association with the crate by providing treats and playtime at the conclusion of crate time.
For home buyers, your new house, condo or apartment should be a comfortable place for both you and your furry family. When choosing a new neighborhood, house or apartment, the ASPCA suggests taking a walk or drive around the area to get a feel for the new environment.
Dog owners might want to look for a home with a fenced yard. “Older dogs, puppies and dogs with house training issues will need to go outside often, which might be difficult in an apartment building with lots of stairs or a house without a yard,” said Ebbecke. “For your feline friends, ensure your potential new space allows for plenty of room to build vertically—it’s easy to create a lot of vertical space with shelving, such as kitty blocks on top of furniture”
Pet-proofing the new home is also important. Ebbecke’s ideas include tucking away electrical cords, plugging up any nooks where pets could get stuck, and ensuring that all windows have secure screens. Any poisonous house plants or pest-control poison traps should also be removed.
In addition, she also offers these tips for helping pets to settle into their new surroundings:
• Start by allowing them to adjust to one room—their “home base”—which should include their favorite toys, treats, water and food bowls and litter box for cats.
• When they seem comfortable, gradually introduce them to other rooms in the house, while keeping some doors shut.
• You can relocate your cat’s litter box from the “home base” room to a more permanent location by moving it slowly over time. Try moving the litter box one foot forward each day.
“When you’re moving, all it takes is a little patience,” Ebbecke assured. “Your cat or dog will be king or queen of your new home in no time!”


Columbia SC animal shelter welcomes emergency adoptions
A local animal shelter is holding an emergency adoption until further notice to help save more pets from euthanasia amid an overcapacity crisis.
Palmetto Lifeline, a nonprofit animal rescue organization in Columbia, said in a press release Tuesday that each of its kennels was full and many dogs were housed in crates.
As such, the organization is on admissions pending, meaning it can no longer save animals from euthanasia in municipal shelters in the Midlands until it finds homes for the animals. animals in her care.
To encourage adoptions, Palmetto Lifeline has significantly reduced adoption fees.
- Dogs 35 pounds and over are now $50.
- Cats are now $50.
- Kittens are now $75 or adopt two for $125.
Palmetto Lifeline’s plea for help comes more than two weeks after Columbia Animal Services announced its shelter was filled to capacity with dogs and urged the public to help through adoption.
According to its website, Columbia Animal Services euthanizes animals. The site notes, however, that animal services are working to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets through “an aggressive neutering program.”
Fostering is also a way to open kennels and help save more lives, says Palmetto Lifeline. The non-profit organization provides food, medical care and supplies to their foster families.
“We were one of the few organizations to stay open during COVID. We have worked with other organizations to achieve an 85% live stream rate in the Midlands,” Denise Wilkinson, CEO of Pawmetto Lifeline, said in the press release. “Please, if you are able to adopt or foster a kitten, dog or cat, step in and help us get closer to our goal of No-Kill status in the Midlands. “
Pawmetto Lifeline is open for adoptions Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with the last meeting at 5:30 p.m. It is recommended that you complete an online adoption application prior to your visit to www.pawmettolifeline.org to reduce wait times.
Visit the pets available for adoption at Columbia Animal Shelter, 127 Humane Lane. Visit www.columbiasc.net/animal-services or call 803-776-PETS (7387) for more information.


The home ranges of four male and five female feral house cats (Felis catus) were studied by radio-telemetry. In the narrow, steep-sided valley the home ranges of cats were linear, with an average length of 6.34 km for males and 3.83 km for females; only large males crossed the river. Females with kittens had small home ranges of 0.84 to 2.0 km. Home ranges of animals of the same sex, including breeding females, overlapped considerably. The social organisation of feral cats at low density differs little from that of higher-density free— ranging domestic cats.

One thing that is going to influence how comfortable you are going to be is the litter training and it is something that you have to be committed to do in the best way possible. You will need to do your best because they will feel comfortable when you are careful about how you’re taking care of them. Litter training is one of the things that you will only to learn more about and it is critical for you to have all the necessary information. The first thing that you need to do is to realize that there are a number of investments that you will have to make in relation to the same.
It comes to doing the litter training for your kitten, you are always able to get a lot of information when you go to specific platforms. The kitten is able to throw litter everywhere and that is why litter training is important and they can also cause a lot of damage for example, scratching. You may have a lot of issues when it comes to cleaning your home because of this. You will want to ensure that you will be able to do the training from very early. The first thing that you need to do is to ensure that you have been able to provide the litter tray.
Litter training can be easy especially if you have other cats that have also been properly trained, they will only need to observe. In addition to that, there are also going to behavior issues depending on what you see. You’ll need to train them very critical about how to use the litter box and you want to ensure that they are very comfortable with that meaning that, you can reward them when they do it properly. In addition to that, it is going to be very important for enforcing the behavior. You also want to ensure that when you’re doing the training, you should not move the litter box around, it should always been one place. Confusing the kitten when doing the training is not good.
From when they are very young, you’ll have to get to understand more about how to make them comfortable in their room where they will spend the most of the time. This is also the best place where you’ll be doing the litter training. If the kitten is tired, ensuring that you are going to slow down will be very critical.

Reported off-leash frequency and perception of risk for gastrointestinal parasitism are not associated in owners of urban park-attending dogs: A multifactorial investigation
Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Associations between park use and infections with gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in dogs (Canis familiaris) have been previously observed, suggesting park use may pose risks for infection in dogs, and potentially, in humans. This study was conducted to establish the overall level of perceived risk of parasitism in dogs, the frequency of unleashing dogs in parks, and to determine if dog owners’ risk perceptions of parasite transmission among humans and dogs are associated with the reported frequency of unleashing dogs. From June to September 2010, 635 surveys were administered to dog owners in nine city parks in Calgary, Alberta, by the lead author to explore dog-walking behaviors in parks under differing leashing regulations. From these, a subset of 316 questionnaires were analyzed to examine associations between behavioral and dog demographic factors, risk perception and acceptability of perceived risks of dog and human parasitism, and education regarding parasitism in dogs and humans. Multivariate statistics were conducted using three separate Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) decision trees to model risk perception of dogs becoming parasitized while in the park, risk perception of zoonotic transmission, and off-leash frequency. Predictors included recreational behaviors, dog demographics, risk perception of park-based and zoonotic transmission, education regarding parasites, and leashing regulations (e.g. on-leash, off-leash, or mixed management parks). The perceived risk of park-based transmission was relatively higher than perception of zoonotic transmission and the majority of people unleashed their dogs at least some of the time. Risk perception was not associated with off-leash frequency in dogs and risk perception and off-leash frequency were associated with factors other than each other. The results suggest owners may underestimate the potential risks for parasitism related to some dog-walking behaviours, and are relevant for public and animal health.
Smith, Anya F.; Semeniuk, Christina A.D.; Rock, Melanie J.; and Massolo, Alessandro, "Reported off-leash frequency and perception of risk for gastrointestinal parasitism are not associated in owners of urban park-attending dogs: A multifactorial investigation" (2015).

A rescue dog who self-harms due to a rare syndrome has given a special canine thanks to a Tarvin vet for a big cash boost to the charity which has saved him.
Tri-colour Cocker Spaniel George has Acral Mutilation Syndrome where he chews his hind paws, drawing blood, and at one point, even nibbling away part of a toe and exposing the bone.
He is being loved and looked after in a foster home provided by the Cocker and English Springer Spaniel Rescue (CAESSR) and his ongoing specialist treatment has cost the cause close to £10,000 in the past two years.
The founders of the charity and George’s foster mum took him to meet Senior Small Animal Vet Richard Nolan of Manor Court Veterinary Centre in Church Street, to receive an £800 donation from Willows Veterinary Group which owns the surgery in the centre of Tarvin.
The independently-owned veterinary group, has a network of 25 small animal surgeries, a referral veterinary hospital, two equine centres and a seven-office farm practice located across Cheshire and into the Wirral, North Wales and Staffordshire.
Richard Nolan put forward the cause on behalf of his surgery at the group’s Christmas party where nominated animal charities were put into a hat and two were drawn out to receive half each of the £1,600 charitable donations raised. The other £800 went to Clwyd Special Riding Centre in North Wales.
He said: “I have known Di and Ian Harrison of CAESSR for most of the 30 years I’ve been at this practice and have looked after their own personal pet spaniels.
“I know of the tremendous work they do with the rescue which is why I put CAESSR forward at the Christmas party.
He added: “I’m aware that the treatment George has been having is very expensive so I’m hoping that our donation will make some contribution towards that.”
Di and Ian Harrison of Duddon, near Tarporley, founded CAESSR in 2010 along with John and Pat Powell from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire where the charity has its main kennels. Sadly, Pat lost her battle with cancer a year ago and volunteer Lisa Guthrie now looks after the charity finances. CAESSR now has a network of volunteers all over the UK.
Di Harrison said: “The donation we received from Manor Court is very welcome and I can’t thank them enough for it as we rely entirely on donations to keep going.
She added: “George, who is now around three, came to us in March 2015 as a 10-month-old show type Cocker.
“He was chewing his hind paws and drawing blood – even when his owners were in the home. He had almost eaten away part of one of his toes.
“It was thought he was suffering pins and needles in his feet owing to a slight deformity on his spine. The chewing then became a habit.
“After months of constant bandaging, George is now in a permanent foster home having had behaviorist help and many trips to the vet.”
For the past two years George has been fostered by dog lover Laura Herbert at her home in Hanley, Stoke on Trent.
And she says that looking after him has forced her to make drastic changes in her lifestyle.
“At the time I first started fostering him I’d just been made redundant and had plenty of time to spare for him,” she said.
“Since then I’ve had a full-time job in construction management but I soon discovered that he has so many health problems, including the self-harm syndrome, that I couldn’t keep on doing it, so I gave it up and now work part-time as a barmaid.
“The same is the case for my housemate, Matthew Rogers, who gave up his job as an office manager and now works in a factory. He didn’t even like dogs but now he’d do anything for George.
“We’ve now worked out our work patterns so we can spend as much time as possible with George and we’re also helped by a rota of friends and family.
“He’s relatively okay at the moment with all the medication and other treatment he’s having but if he’s left to his own devices we know he’d start chewing at himself again.”
She added: “People think I’m mad for what I do for George but he’s such a lovely natured, adorable dog you just can’t help yourself wanting to care for him.”

Gerbils are really cute furry little creatures that make great pets because of their gentle affectionate nature, small size and daylight activity. These make excellent pets for beginners because they are not high maintenance. However, they are not suitable for very young children as they are sensitive and fragile. They require careful handling and the formation of a strong bond with their owner. Gerbils are quite hardy and do not require a lot of medical care costs. As with the case of every animal, they do have weaknesses so gerbil owners should be aware of the ailments their pet may develop. This article lists the common health problems gerbils are susceptible towards.
Gerbils might have trouble breathing normally if they develop respiratory illnesses. Symptoms include excessive coughing, labored breathing and a peculiar clicking sound. This is a contagious disease so keep your other gerbils away to avoid spreading the illness among them.
Scent Gland Tumor
The scent gland is a bare oval patch on the underside of an adult gerbil and runs along the midline of the body. Females do not normally use it for marking their territories but males use it often especially if there are many adult males living together. Symptoms of a scent gland tumor include irritation, excessive grooming or scratching, rough patches and bleeding. Females are less susceptible to them and elderly gerbils are at higher risk of developing them. A certified vet needs to examine the animal in case any of these signs are apparent. A surgery is performed to remove the tumor with hardly any risks or after effects.
Gerbils are delicate little creatures and require care by a responsible individual who understand its sensitivity, habits and preferences. Never hold a gerbil by its tail because this will definitely hurt it as the tail is very much part of the rest of its body.
A substandard diet or inadequate hygiene considerations may lead to digestive problems like diarrhea. It is very important to scrub the cage clean every week with warm water and recommended soap along with a safe antiseptic spray. The vet should be consulted in cases of diarrhea so that proper medication may be prescribed. A large variety of pet meds are available online through comparison shopping sites like www.lovemypets.com.
Parasitic creatures like mites may attach themselves to your pet gerbil and live off their host’s fluids. It is important to get quality anti-mite medication recommended by a vet to remedy this problem. It should be powerful and effective but safe to use.
Gerbils are nibblers so they love to gnaw on everything! The trick is to provide them safe wood chips or branches which have not been treated with any sort of chemicals or pesticides. This will prevent overgrowth of your gerbil’s teeth and keep it satisfied and healthy. Any symptoms related to oral care must be reported to a vet immediately.
It is very important to provide a stress free environment to your pet gerbil. It does not tolerate the presence of other rodent species readily. Larger carnivorous pets must be kept away from the gerbil at all times. It must have its private cozy little home where it can roam around under supervision and live happily. It is important to care for your gerbil properly at all times.
Elderly gerbils may get strokes so be very attentive to their needs and behavior. Strokes may result in paralysis. A vet should be consulted for appropriate treatment and care. Gerbils recover quite well from strokes if taken good care of.
Gerbils are very sweet pets and keeping them is very rewarding and simple. Rodent supplies for gerbils are easily available at US pet stores and online petsupermarket websites.


Coffee grinds are not bad for dogs. In fact, they can be beneficial to your dog’s health. Coffee grinds contain antioxidants and caffeine, which can help improve your dog’s circulation, digestion, and energy levels.
However, it is important to moderate the amount of coffee grinds your dog consumes, as too much caffeine can be harmful.
If you’re a coffee drinker, chances are you’ve considered giving your pup a little caffeine boost from time to time. After all, what’s a morning walk without a cup of joe in hand? But before you start sharing your brew with Fido, there are a few things you should know.
First and foremost, coffee grinds are not bad for dogs. In fact, they can actually be quite beneficial! Coffee is rich in antioxidants and can help support your dog’s immune system.
Additionally, the caffeine can give your pup a bit of extra energy (which may come in handy on those early morning walks!). However, it’s important to remember that too much of anything is never a good thing. When it comes to coffee and dogs, moderation is key.
You don’t want to give your pup too much caffeine as it could lead to health problems such as restlessness, panting and an increased heart rate. So, stick to just a few grinds per day and always offer plenty of water along with it. Do you ever share your coffee with your furry friend?
Let us know in the comments below!
How Much Coffee Grounds is Toxic for Dogs?
Your dog may love the smell of coffee, but ingesting even a small amount of coffee grounds can be toxic. Dogs are more sensitive to caffeine than people, and just a small amount can cause health problems. Symptoms of caffeine toxicity in dogs include restlessness, panting, increased heart rate, muscle tremors and seizures.
If your dog ingests coffee grounds, call your veterinarian or animal poison control immediately.
Are Coffee Grounds a Good Deterrent for Dogs?
Coffee grounds are a good deterrent for dogs because they contain caffeine and theobromine, which are both stimulants. Dogs are attracted to the smell of coffee, but the bitter taste deters them from eating it. However, coffee grounds can be harmful to dogs if they eat too much of it.

My Dog Just Ate Used Coffee Grounds
If your dog just ate used coffee grounds, don’t panic! While coffee grounds can be dangerous to humans if ingested, they pose no real threat to dogs. Used coffee grounds are actually quite safe for dogs to eat.
Coffee grounds contain caffeine, which is a stimulant. However, the amount of caffeine in used coffee grounds is very low and not enough to cause any harm to your dog. In fact, eating used coffee grounds can actually be beneficial for your dog.
The caffeine in the Grounds can help perk them up and give them a little boost of energy. So, if your dog happens to snag a handful of used coffee grounds from the trashcan, there’s no need to worry. They’ll be just fine!
Coffee grinds are not bad for dogs, but they should be used in moderation. Dogs can have a small amount of coffee grinds as long as they do not consume too much caffeine.

Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin) Tweet
What is Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin) used for?
Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin) is a topical solution used to treat your dog for ticks, lice, or mites that cause scabies. The medication operates by disabling the pest's nervous system and killing them, after which they may be washed off. It may also be used to treat other conditions recommended by your veterinarian.
How should I use Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin)?
To apply Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin), put the indicated amount onto the affected area of the skin. Allow it to remain on the skin for several hours, letting it penetrate. Next, wash the area of your dog to remove the medication and any dead organisms as it is toxic and unintentional ingestion can cause serious health problems. Examine the hair and skin around the area of application to remove any dead parasites that remain. It is also important to keep the medication away from the eyes, ears, mouth, and any other mucous membranes of the dog. Always ask your veterinarian if you have any questions regarding the medications correct use.
What are the side effects of Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin)?
Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin) is normally well tolerated and will not cause side effects. Some dogs may still encounter unusual symptoms that should be disclosed to your veterinarian immediately. These can range from mild to severe and can require changes to treatment to prevent further problems. Possible side effects include:
Do not use Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin) if your dog has any allergies or any broken or damaged skin.
This medication is only for use on dogs, and is not suitable for use on cats, as it is poisonous to cats.
Strictly follow all instructions provided to you by your veterinarian while using Advantix (Imidacloprid/Permethrin). Optimum and safe dosage can differ based on the dog and the condition being treated.
As this medication may be unsafe for certain dogs, it is essential you always inform your veterinarian if it is pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as if it has any allergies, other illnesses, or ongoing health conditions, and if it is taking any other form of medication, supplements, or herbal products.
Immediately seek emergency medical care if it has an allergic or hypersensitive reaction. Common signs of a reaction include hives, swelling, skin rashes, chest pains, as well as trouble breathing or swallowing.
