Massage is not only beneficial for humans but also for our furry friends. Dogs can benefit from regular massages as it helps improve their overall well-being and can provide relief from various conditions. In this article, we will explore the art of dog massage and learn how to give your canine companion a relaxing and therapeutic massage in the comfort of your own home.
Understanding Dog Massage
Dog massage is a gentle and therapeutic practice that involves manipulating the muscles and soft tissues of a dog’s body. It is based on the same principles as human massage, promoting relaxation, stress relief, improved circulation, and enhanced joint mobility. Dog massage can also help alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve overall flexibility.
Benefits of Dog Massage
Regular massage sessions for your dog can have numerous benefits. Some of the key advantages of dog massage include:
- Relaxation and stress relief: Massage helps calm anxious dogs and promotes a sense of relaxation.
- Improved circulation: Massage stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs.
- Enhanced joint mobility: Massage can improve flexibility and range of motion in your dog’s joints.
- Pain relief: Massaging sore or tense muscles can help alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Bonding and trust-building: Massage creates a deep bond between you and your dog, strengthening your relationship.
- Pre- and post-exercise warm-up: Massage can prepare your dog’s muscles before physical activity and aid in post-workout recovery.
Preparing for the Massage
Before starting a dog massage session, it is important to create a calm and comfortable environment. Follow these steps to prepare for a successful massage:
- Choose a quiet and peaceful area: Find a quiet room or a secluded spot where you and your dog can relax without distractions.
- Gather the necessary supplies: Get a soft blanket or mat for your dog to lie on during the massage. Have some treats nearby as rewards for good behavior.
- Calm yourself: Dogs are highly intuitive and can sense your emotions. Take a few deep breaths and calm yourself before beginning the massage.
Techniques for Dog Massage
When massaging your dog, it’s essential to use gentle and soothing techniques. Here are some effective massage techniques to try:
- Effleurage: This technique involves long, sweeping strokes with gentle pressure, starting from the neck and moving towards the tail.
- Petrissage: Use kneading motions with your hands to gently squeeze and lift the muscles. This technique can help release tension.
- Circular motions: Use your fingertips to make small circular motions on specific areas, such as the shoulders or hips, to promote relaxation.
- Stretching: Gently stretch your dog’s limbs by extending and flexing them. Be careful not to apply too much force.
It’s important to vary your strokes during the massage to provide a comprehensive experience. Use a combination of the following strokes:
- Long, sweeping strokes: Glide your hands along the length of your dog’s body, from head to tail.
- Circular strokes: Make circular motions on specific areas, focusing on muscle groups that may be tense or sore.
- Kneading strokes: Gently knead the muscles using your fingertips or the palm of your hand. This technique can help release tension and knots.
- Gentle pressure: Apply light pressure on sensitive areas and gradually increase it if your dog seems comfortable.
Areas to Focus On
When massaging your dog, pay attention to these key areas:
- Neck and shoulders: Dogs often carry tension in these areas. Use gentle strokes and circular motions to alleviate any discomfort.
- Back and spine: Massage along the spine using long, sweeping strokes. Be cautious around the tail area, as some dogs may be sensitive there.
- Hips and hind legs: Pay extra attention to these areas, as they can benefit from massage, especially in older dogs or those with joint issues.
- Paws and legs: Massage each leg, paying attention to the paw pads and in between the toes. This can be particularly soothing for active dogs.
Signs of Discomfort
While massaging your dog, it’s important to observe their body language and reactions. Look for signs of discomfort, such as:
- Flinching or tensing: If your dog flinches or tenses up during a particular stroke or in a specific area, adjust your technique or move on to another area.
- Growling or snapping: If your dog displays aggressive behavior during the massage, stop immediately and consult a professional dog masseuse or veterinarian.
- Licking or yawning excessively: These can be signs of stress or discomfort. Take a break and reassess your approach.
Creating a Relaxing Environment
To create a soothing environment during the massage, consider the following tips:
- Play calming music: Soft, instrumental music can help relax both you and your dog during the massage.
- Use aromatherapy: Some dogs respond well to calming scents like lavender or chamomile. However, make sure to use pet-safe essential oils diluted appropriately.
- Dim the lights: Dimming the lights can create a tranquil atmosphere and help your dog feel more relaxed.
Frequency and Duration
The frequency and duration of dog massages may vary depending on your dog’s age, health, and individual needs. Start with shorter sessions of around 10-15 minutes and gradually increase the duration as your dog becomes more comfortable. Aim for at least one massage session per week to maintain the benefits.
Professional Dog Massage
If you are unsure about massaging your dog yourself or if your dog has specific health issues, consider seeking the assistance of a professional dog masseuse. They are trained in various techniques and can tailor the massage to suit your dog’s specific needs.
When massaging your dog, keep the following safety precautions in mind:
- Avoid sensitive areas: Stay away from wounds, surgical incisions, or any painful or inflamed areas.
- Watch for allergies: If you decide to use massage oils, make sure they are safe for dogs and do a patch test first to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
- Consult your vet: If your dog has any underlying health conditions or if you are unsure about any aspect of dog massage, consult your veterinarian before starting.
Massaging your dog can be an excellent way to bond with them while providing numerous physical and emotional benefits. Following the techniques and guidelines outlined in this article can give your furry friend a relaxing and enjoyable massage experience at home.
How often should I massage my dog?
- Answer: It is recommended to massage your dog at least once a week, but you can increase the frequency if your dog enjoys it.
Can I use any massage oil on my dog?
- Answer: It’s best to use pet-safe massage oils or consult your veterinarian for recommendations to avoid any potential allergic reactions.
What if my dog doesn’t like being massaged?
- Answer: Not all dogs may enjoy massage initially. Start slowly and observe their reactions. If your dog shows discomfort or resistance, consult a professional dog masseuse.
Can I massage my dog after a meal?
- Answer: It’s best to wait at least an hour after your dog has eaten before giving them a massage to avoid any potential discomfort.
Are there any breeds that should not be massaged?
- Answer: Most dog breeds can benefit from massage. However, if your dog has any specific health conditions, it’s advisable to consult your veterinarian before starting a massage routine.

Our Poway residents are really enjoying watching our puppies grow. The pups are now 9 weeks old and growing fast. Nurturing the two young dogs has really been an activity of love for our Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients. From the moment the puppies come in the door you can see the change in our residents demeanor. We have to almost pry them away from our seniors with Memory Impairments when it is time for them to go back home. Providing care and love for the pups really give our seniors a sense of purpose. One of our residents said “I love these pups, they need more help than I do, and that makes me feel useful” The smiles and love the puppies and residents share is truly priceless!!

Border Terriersare medium sized
members of the Terrier Group, although still quite a small dog; they are valued
for their good nature and gameness. They are bred as working animals but their
adaptability and intelligence makes them active family companions. Each Border Terrier is an individual, and knows it.
The Border Terrier requires only small amounts of food. They are not fussy
eaters but have a good appetite and will become overweight if overfed or not
regularly exercised. On average they cost about £8.50 each a week to feed on
quality dry food (which I thoroughly recommend - prices UK Jan 2015).
They are generally a fit and healthy dog with few genetic dis-orders (over-bite and under-bite in the lower jaw are most common) so veterinary expenses are usually
low. Professional grooming will be required (circa £40 each time depending on
location and ability of groomer), unless you learn to hand strip (see my book). And in
between strips they do lose hair. I recommend a routine comb through of the coat at least every week.
Puppy prices can vary considerably from around £350 to £850, depending on the
pedigree of the dog. Some very good pedigree Border Terriers with Champion
parents and an excellent lineage may cost much more. Please make sure when you buy a puppy that you see the Mother and please do not buy from a puppy farm.
The Border Terrier is a fairly long lived breed and can expect to reach 15
years or more. Litter sizes can vary from 2 to 8, but the normal is 4 or 5.
Borders have characteristic otter-like heads. with harsh, dense coats with
close undercoats. They are primarily working dogs and look it. They are strong,
active, keen of eye and all terrier (which means they are courageous and will
dig; especially after rabbits and ground vermin that disappear down holes).
The Border Terrier first appeared in the 18th century and has changed very
little since. They were used as working terriers in the English / Scottish Borders
hunting foxes which preyed on livestock. Their appearance was never of great
concern to their owners but their ability to go to ground after a Fox was, so
they were bred to have strong jaws, to be well boned but not heavy and to have
a chest with sufficient capacity but narrow enough to allow them to get back
out of any earth hole they entered. Their extra length of leg enabled them to follow
a horse over fairly long distances and they had to be there when when they were
needed. During their history they were known as the Reedwater Terriers and the
Coquetdale Terriers but nowadays are referred to only as Border Terriers. They
are still working terriers in the countryside but in urban areas are mainly
family companions. Bitches are regarded as better working dogs. Both sexes are
very good river swimmers.
Border Terriers are a complex mix of many other terriers and it is possible
that far back even working Collies "had a look in." It should
therefore not be surprising to see so many different variants all called Border
Terriers. In the same litter there will often be a mix of colours. A good Blue
and Tan will look very different from the more common Wheaten or Tan variants
while red wheatens are quite rare. It is this tremendous range of different
types of terrier along with a mix of "other dogs" that gives the
Border Terrier its character and spirit.
They are very intelligent and trainable; but they are independent dogs so
require firmness and patience in their training which should start early. If
cuddled, fussed and over fondled as puppies they will become very
"soppy" with their owners as they reach adulthood and overly defensive when
outside the home environment. The head of the Border should be broad with a
short, strong muzzle (and as mentioned before a bit Otter like). The mouth
should have a scissor bite (overshot or undershot bottom jaws can occur and
maybe problematical). The nose should preferably be black but liver or flesh
coloured ones are tolerable. The eyes should be dark with a keen expression and
the ears small, v-shaped and dropping forward, close to the cheek (although
some may have slightly longer ears). The neck should be of moderate length and
the body should be deep, narrow and fairly long. The legs are moderately long,
not heavily-boned and feet are small with thick pads. The tail should be not
too long, set high and carried gaily and happily. The coat is harsh and dense
with a close undercoat and the skin must be thick. The preferred colours for
the show-ring are red, wheaten, grizzle and tan or blue and tan.
I can tell you that the Border Terrier is an affectionate, fun-loving dog. They
are brave, adaptable and good with people, especially with old people and children. They are often used as "Well Being" dogs used to visit care homes and hospices. They are
reliably easygoing but have independent natures and like to make their own decisions.
They love to chase Rabbits, Squirrels, birds etc. but will live in harmony with
other household pets if the other pets are there first. Do not try and introduce Cats or Rabbits once a Border Terrier has arrived at your home because your trusted friend will display his hunting and killing instincts which supported by his territorial defence instinct will turn him / her into a murderer. They are equally at home in the town or country and as
you may have guessed are very adaptable. Puppies may go through a shy phase in
their new homes and it is particularly important to ensure that they are
adequately socialised with humans and other animals especially dogs, (but not
over fondled - see above) as soon as possible after they arrive home and
continuously until they are adults.
If you intend taking your new baby in the car as an adult, take your new baby
out every other day for short trips. There will be accidents to start with so
be prepared (baby wipes and small food bags are excellent - and I recommend you
keep some in the car all the time even when your friend is grown-up).
Borders mostly have quite long coats if left to grow naturally. The short coat
is only maintained by weekly stripping (or 'rolling') which can be quite time
consuming and there is a technique involved. A specialist groomer is required
until this has been learnt (see my book). A puppy can be left unstripped until the coat is
'blown', usually at about 6 to 7 months of age for a tan or wheaten and about 8 to 9 months for a blue & tan, but it will then need a full hand strip. Clippers
must not be used on the first strip as the under coat will grow quicker than the outer and you will have taught the the coat to be fluffy and soft (still recoverable but over a period of 18 months). The Border Terrier coat becomes "mature" around the age of three. A full strip by hand can take 2/3
hours. Eyes, ears and teeth should be checked regularly and check your friends
"undercarriage" and legs once in awhile for ticks, cuts and scratches; bad cuts should be seen by a vet straight away. If you let "him" loose in the
country side be warned that his hunting instinct will take over on sight or smell of
catchable prey - this will on every occasion override your command until the
chase is over (quickly with rabbits - longer with foxes and birds): you've been warned. As part of this warning, Border Terriers no matter how old or wise they become, never learn that roads are dangerous places and will chase a Cat across a road without fear. They can be obedience trained but their hunt instinct is strong in the face of prey.
The Border Terrier comes in a variety of colours including red, wheaten,
grizzle and tan, or blue and tan; and is a moderate coat shedder. As I've said
previously Border Terriers do need hand stripping (or clipping for older dogs - see my book) at least twice a year and in
between they will shed hair so you will need a pet hair vacuum cleaner.
It seems there are a few
warnings, but this should not deter you, simply recognise his basic
character and instincts, help shape his personality and love and look after him. You'll never
have a better friend or a more loyal companion.


· Why Pets - I’ve always been a photographer that liked to take photographs of things exactly as they are. I don’t like things posed or fake. Animals by their nature are completely devoid of pretense and will never pretend to be something they aren’t. This allows me to have so much more fun during a shoot. With animals the direction comes from the opposite side. The animals tend to direct things via their playfulness.
· Are there pets you won’t photograph - Nope! All pets are welcome weather they are furry, feathery, slimy or scaly. Even non-animal critters such as spiders are fine as long as I don’t have to touch them! I also have no problem with any breed of dog; I am a huge supporter of animal rights and stand firmly against breed specific legislation.
· Do you photograph people too - Yes and no. If your cat wants to sit next to you and be petted I will happily capture the interaction between you. If you and your dog like to play with sticks and Frisbees, fun time makes for good picture time. If your dog decides to take a break and sit on your lap I'll make sure to snap pictures of that too. At the heart of things, I'm here to try to capture pictures of your pet in its most natural state. That may include interaction with the owner but pet will always be the focus.
· You are called Off Leash Photography but I see leashes in some photos. - I do like capturing dogs off leash. However if we are doing a session in a public place I think it's important to follow leash laws. If the session is in a backyard, dog park or other controlled closed environment, I say take the leash off! Let them run free and be themselves. I do bring 15’and 30’ training leashes with me to parks so they still can run around. If desired, we can work on removing the leash in photographs that are purchased for prints.
· What if my pets are shy? - That’s fine! After a few years of volunteering at a shelter I have become very used to shy dogs and cats. I will always come prepared with high value treats and spend some time getting them to get used to me. We will work at their pace and make sure the animal is comfortable. I’ve had great success with shy and fearful animals and sometimes they become the best models!
· What if my pet is crazy and doesn’t know any tricks.- Great! We will get along perfectly! Since I don’t believe in posing it is great if they are hyper/crazy/untrained it really can lead to some wonderful and hilarious photos.
· Can I dress my animal? - Sure! Do you have cute sweaters, ties, hats, or lobster costume? Any clothing is welcome and encouraged as long as your pet is used to being dressed up.
· Is there anything else I should bring?- You don't need to bring anything, other than yourself and your pet. I’ll cover treats, water, leashes, toys, or anything else we may need. That said; if you have something specific you would like your animal photographed with you are highly encouraged to bring them. All of our pets have a favorite toy that we can’t imagine them without or; something that makes them uniquely them.


Think it is just too selfish to leave your dog housed at a local kennel while you frolic under the beautiful skies or lounge by the beach in Miami, Florida? Then you are likely part of a growing number of people who are owned by their dogs instead of owning a dog yourself - and that's perfectly okay. You can take your furry friend with you and show him the sights and sounds of Miami - and this carries over to even those travelers who plan to fly to Miami. You can find cheap Miami flights that are pet-friendly and many of them will allow you to have "man's best friend" in the cabin during the flight.
You want to book your cheap Miami flight with a pet-friendly airline - and not all airlines have policies that are lenient and show your pet as much respect as you do. Let's run down the top airlines where you can find a cheap Miami flight that caters not only to your needs, but to those of your pet as well.
- U.S. Airways and American West. These two airlines will allow your smaller pooch (less than twenty pounds, including the weight of a kennel to hold the pet) to accompany you in the cabin. The kennel must be small enough to fit under you seat, however, and they will only allow three pets on each plane at a time between all flyers. This means that you'll need to book your reservation and let them know of your plans to bring your pet along well in advance to ensure that you are one of the three travelers who can bring their pet on that particular flight. If you're flying into the country, keep in mind that these airlines do not allow pets on international flights.
- Alaska Airlines and Horizon Airlines. On an Alaska Airlines or Horizon airlines flight, your pet may ride in the cargo hold during the warm months of the year only. Flights originating in Nevada and Hawaii may not fly to Miami with pets in the cargo hold, however, and all pets must be accompanied by a health certificate that was obtained from your vet within the past thirty days.
- United Airlines. United requires that flights that will be carrying pets are reserved at least seven days in advance and that the pet has a valid health certificate. Short-nosed dogs are not allowed on United Airlines flights in the summer months.
- American Airlines. American Airlines allows small dogs in the cabin, and larger dogs in the cargo hold. The dog and its kennel can weigh no more than one-hundred pounds to ride in the cargo hold.
- Continental Airlines. Continental will allow small dogs up to ten pounds to travel with you on your Miami cheap flight - in the cabin.
Keep in mind when you decide to take your pampered pooch along on your trip to Miami, there are fees associated with all airlines when you bring your pet. These fees can cost as much or more than your own ticket and range from $75 each way (Southwest) to $369 for a cargo ride on Continental Airlines. When traveling with your pet, be sure to leave some doggie treats or kibble in the dog's kennel for the ride, or, if you're traveling with your pet beneath your seat, keep a few treats in your carryon to stave off hunger until your cheap Miami flight arrives. For dogs that ride as cargo, you'll check your dog when you touch down in Miami much like you would your other luggage - and you can bet that he'll be glad to see you!

The EPA’s spokesperson discussed that inspite of the basic safety concerns, the corporation hasn’t obtained any new issues about Seresto collars till a few months as soon as they had been first signed up. As the firm has brought actions to ensure that Seresto is safe for domestic pets, some owners are concerned that this collar might be hazardous for their household pets.


Do you have a dog aboard? Thinking of taking one with you on trips or long-term cruising?
Two years into our cruising, we adopted Paz — and consider her to be the best thing that came out of our years aboard Que Tal. And while The Boat Galley isn’t really about cruising with dogs, a number of the articles I’ve written do touch on topics related to having a dog on board. I’ve listed these below — the one that seems to get the most interest is Training a Dog to Be a “Boat Dog”, which refers to teaching them to use a piece of carpet on the bow instead of needing to go ashore when nature calls.
Additionally, as I find other resources for boating with a dog, I’m adding them in a list. If you know of other web sites, books, helpful products or anything else that should be added, please put a note in the comments below — comments come to me as an e-mail — and I’ll add items to the list so that others can benefit.

No, I don’t own these — I wouldn’t recommend the books we did pick up along the way. These have been recommended by other “cruising dog families” and also get high reviews on Amazon. Links are to Amazon, unless otherwise noted.
- The First Aid Companion for Dogs & Cats — highly recommended by a couple of friends, particularly for its use of things that you’re likely to have on board, a list of human medications that can and can’t be used on your pet, and what should be in your pet’s first aid kit.

Warning: like many other “marine” products, some of these items aren’t cheap! The only special item we bought for Paz was a life jacket (other than always using a harness instead of a collar that could potentially break her neck).
For a larger dog, however, the ladder or ramp could mean the difference between being able to cruise and not, as they could also be used to get the dog in/out of the dinghy.
- Paws Aboard! A number of innovative products such as a boat ladder for dogs that I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Tough to fix: Local animal shelters struggle to spay and neuter pets
The Oneida County Humane Society is packed with pets.
It houses roomfuls of kittens and dozens of dogs, with more animals coming in all the time.
“We have a shelter full right now,” says the Oneida County Humane Society’s director, Amanda Haydon. “We have been maintaining between 100 and 130 animals, which is more than previous years. Our kitten season has been almost all year long so far.”
To address an overpopulation of pets, humane societies like the one in Oneida County spay and neuter all of the animals that come into its care before placing them up for adoption.
But a Northwoods vet clinic that spayed and neutered pets at discounted prices closed earlier this summer because it couldn’t find a new veterinarian.
The closure has left local humane societies to face a problem that’s two-fold: they’re dealing with an overpopulation of pets, and they’re struggling to get those pets fixed before giving them up for adoption.
Fixing pets in northern Wisconsin used to be pretty easy. Humane societies across the region partnered with a clinic called The Fix Is In.
“For the last couple of years, The Fix Is In has really stepped up and been able to take in between 20 and 40 of our animals and get them spayed and neutered,” Haydon says. “The faster that we can get that done, the faster they can go into homes.”
But The Fix Is In closed in June. The clinic couldn’t find a replacement when its veterinarian left — a symptom of a nationwide veterinarian shortage.
Now, humane societies in the Northwoods have to rely on local veterinarians to spay and neuter their animals. But those vets are already busy caring for more animals in the aftermath of the pandemic pet boom.
This means getting animals at humane societies fixed is taking much longer. That slows down the adoption process so that pets end up staying at the shelter for longer periods of time.
Haydon says the Oneida County Humane Society is up for this challenge right now.
“We’re just going to have to pivot a little bit and get a little bit more creative, maybe utilize fosters more until the surgeries can be done,” she says.
But she worries what will happen as more Northwoods veterinarians retire and fewer come in to take their place.

Well if by groom, you mean cover their body in saliva and swallow their own hair, then yes! Unfortunately, their saliva does not contain any magical enzymes, shampoo, a comb, or nail clipper. So cats often suffer from matted coats, dandruff, grease and oils, litterbox odor and leavings, long sharp claws, fleas, hairballs,and shedding hair EVERYWHERE. We want to help your cat and you!
How can grooming help my cat?
- Reduces hairballs because of reduced shedding
- Reduce shedding from a real wet bath and hand blow dry ( no leaving your cat behind a fan or heat dryer for hours in a kennel to dry here!)
- No more mats and tangles with regular maintenance- you wouldn't let your own hair tangle all year and shave it off annually would you?
- Remove pelted, painful matting
- Clean and remoisturize skin and coat, reducing dandruff and dander
- Keep him cool and comfortable with a lion trim or plush cut
- Never again battle him to comb out shed hair or dangerously cut out mats with scissors
- Keep sharp claws from growing into pads,or cutting into furniture or skin
- All animals, if not introduced to bathing and grooming at a young age, are fearful of the new experience. With time and gentle handling, they can come to accept and even enjoy that which is unfamiliar to them
- If your cat shows signs of stress, fear, and will not relax, rest assured we will stop immediately
- One way to calm the most aggressive cat is to put him in the tub and gentle soak his feet and belly. Oddly enough, this can take them out of fight mode and calm them!
- Sometimes cats do have a 10-20 second mini freakout when we first turn on the water and apply it to them. We let them work through this fear, realize they are not in danger, and MOST cats calm and relax under the warm water and the massage while soaping.
- Show cats are bathed sometimes weekly, your cat is really no different, except he is the champion of your home,not the show ring. Bathing in cat safe shampoos will not dry out skin and coat, in fact, it can dramatically improve coat condition! See photos for examples
- Most groomers in the Twin Cities do a dry bath, wiping them with a wet towel or putting powder in their hair and brushing it out. This would be unacceptable for dogs or humans, so why do cats get shortchanged? Real water baths with soap are the ONLY way to degrease and clean a cat, just like a dog or human.
- Training and knowledge is everything, there is an art to calmly and safely bathing a cat, and we learned it at the national cat groomers institute.
- Wet bathing removes grease,oil, litter, feces,fleas, dandruff, and dirt. Dry bathing or just shaving the coat off can't do any of these things


Sadly there comes a time in our pets lives when we need to say goodbye.
I have had a lot of experience over the years helping pet owners come to terms with the passing of their beloved companions but as a pet owner myself it doesn’t get any easier.
One of my many reasons for starting ‘Caterpillar Keepsakes’ was to be able to offer an affordable alternative to pet owners. Something that not only looked beautiful but could be worn close to the heart and treasured forever.

Every SATURDAY between 11:00 and 16:00 we will be at a piazza in Rome and we will have 4-5 adoptable dogs with us, and we will assist people who are interested in adopting one of our animals into a permanent home.
All animals in our care will be tested for common diseases, assessed behaviorally, provided with necessary medical care, vaccinated, and sterilized (unless dangerous for an animal) before they are adopted into permanent homes. All animals attending the adoption event will be healthy. We will make every effort to get the animals into their permanent homes as quickly as possible so that we may save another 4-5 lives.
Because of our consistent weekend visibility, many animals that would otherwise go unnoticed in a kennel or shelter will be adopted into a loving family. This is good for the dog that is adopted, for the family that can be enriched by the presence of an animal, for the State which saves costs of maintaining abandoned animals, and for kennels and shelters to reduce overcrowding of animals.
The difference between our adoption concept and shelter “adoption events” is our visibility is consistent– and our assiduous presence in public squares, will help us to build a relationship of familiarity in which people will be able to get to know us and our animals, which will lead to adoptions.
This concept is proven effective in America and has a very high success rate of adoption: “I know. I was living in Los Angeles and went to buy groceries one Saturday morning and I saw some people and about 10 dogs on the grass of the nearby bank. I stopped to see what they were doing and learned that the dogs were up for adoption. Well…. I went home with 2 grocery bags and a 10-year-old dog! That morning I didn’t wake up knowing that I was going to adopt a dog but the visibility of seeing them gave me the chance to think about adoption. One of the volunteers came with me to my house and approved of my situation and my little Pomeranian spent the rest of her life with me,” recounts Lynne Maraschiello, president.
People who would never step foot into a kennel or shelter may adopt one of or animals. By limiting our adoptions to 4-5 animals at a time, we will take care to ensure that we do not exceed our humane capacity. Our goal this year is to place 50 animals in permanent homes.
We will begin our weekend adoptions in Piazza Adriana, at Castel Sant’Angelo, in Prati.
In the future, we will add other locations in Parioli, Circo Massimo in Aventino, and EUR, and hold weekend adoption events in these locations as well, with an additional 4-5 animals. Plus, we will expand into other cities.
Volunteers are always welcome to help out with our adoption events!
We must transport our dogs to our weekend events.
We also need to bring supplies, chairs, cages, blankets, water bowls and food.

This is a disease that usually strikes the family with little warning. Once most owners are aware that their pet is ill, the condition is quite advanced and serious.
Cardiomyopathy means heart (cardio) muscle (myo) disease (pathy).
Veterinarians divide cardiomyopathy in cats into three types:
In the first, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, the walls of the pet's heart balloon out, causing an enlarged, rounded, thin-walled weakened heart.
In the second form, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, the heart retains it classic shape but the walls of the heart thicken, reducing this muscle’s ability to pump blood.
The third type is called Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. In this form, scarring of the heart muscles prevent normal pumping action. The signs of all three forms in cats are similar and are ultimately due to a lack of oxygen supply to cells throughout the pet's body.
What Causes Cardiomyopathy ?
We do not know what causes most cases of cardiomyopathy in cats. But we do know a few of the factors that seem to make the disease more likely to occur.
Cardiomyopathy was a relatively common disease in cats fed generic cat foods or dog food. These foods were sometimes deficient in an essential amino acid of cats, taurine. A deficiency in this amino acid was discovered to be the cause of heart failure in these cats. When this link was found, most cat food manufacturers added taurine to their diets or periodically analyzed it to be sure there was sufficient taurine in it.
Another known association with cardiomyopathy in cats is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is quite common in older cats and becoming more so. In this disease, the pet’s metabolic rate increases due to over-secretion of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine. The number of cases hyperthyroidism in cats has increased significantly in the last 25 years. Some experts think that hyperthyroidism in cats is more common in cats feed tuna or fish-based diets and those fed a variety of canned diets marketed in “pop-top” or “peel-back” cans or the chemicals coating these cans. Others believe that increased iodine in commercial cat food is the cause. (ref) Still others blame the modern home environment. But nothing has been scientifically proven.
When a cat's thyroid is overactive, the pet's blood pressure and the workload on its heart muscle increase. This can cause cardiac enlargement or heart muscle thickening.
We also suspect that prior viral infections, genetics or the lack of antioxidants may predispose the pet to heart failure.
Cardiomyopathy seems to be an inherited disease in Maine Coon and American Shorthair cats. It appears to also be more common in Persians cats than ordinary domestic shorthair cats. More male than female cats develop the disease.
What Symptoms Might I See In My Cat ?
Although dogs and humans often develop a moist cough when the heart looses its efficiency, cats rarely cough with this disease. Instead, they are often brought to veterinarians due to listlessness, rapid labored respiration, poor appetite and loss of body condition. At first glance these cats may look plump. But they are bony over their back and loins and what appears to be a plump tummy is actually an enlarged liver with fluid accumulation in the abdomen (see the blood tests). These signs signify that the disease is already quite advanced.
On the microscopic level, failing hearts that no longer pump sufficient blood, allow the liquid portion of the blood (serum) to leak into the smallest chambers of the lungs (the alveoli and bronchioles) where oxygen and waste CO2 exchange should be occurring. This is called pulmonary edema. When this fluid seeps out and surrounds the lungs themselves it is called plural effusion. Both conditions make respiration difficult and are quite uncomfortable.
The sluggish flow of blood through damaged hearts commonly results in another serious problem, the formation of blood clots blocking major arteries. These clots form in stagnant blood pooling within the enlarged left atrium of the heart and then move out into the peripheral circulation. A common place for these clots (saddle thrombi) to lodge is the bifurcation (where it divides) of the primary artery of the abdomen called the descending aorta. The portion of the aorta that becomes blocked is the portion supplying the rear legs and tail. When circulation to the rear legs and tail is interrupted, the muscles of the legs and tail become limp because they are starved of oxygen. This condition mimics spinal cord damage and paralysis. When I examine these cats I note that the femoral pulse within the rear legs is weak or absent and the limbs are cold to the touch. Although the clots usually dissolve slowly and limb function returns the underlying heart problem remains.
The hypertrophic form of cardiomyopathy often results in increased blood pressure or hypertension (systolic blood pressure exceeds 160mm Hg). Smaller blood vessels may burst under increased pressure particularly vessels within the retina of the eye. This can lead to retinal detachment and sudden blindness. To reduce the blood pressure anti-hypertensive drugs should be used. A number of agents called calcium channel blockers are available for treatment of hypertension and cardiac failure although many of these are not specifically licensed for cats. Examples of two drugs commonly used are benazepril (Fortekor®, Lotensin) and amlodipine ( Istin®, NORVASC).
How Do Veterinarians Diagnose Cardiomyopathy ?
Any combination of signs I have discussed can lead us to suspect cardiomyopathy in your cat. Cats suffering from this disease are usually over the age of five. A firm diagnosis requires at a minimum a chest X-ray, echocardiography or ultrasound image of the heart. An EKG (electrocardiogram) can also be diagnostic. An elevated free T-4 level will diagnose the presence of hyperthyroidism - a common finding in older cats with heart problems.
When veterinarians can not decide if the cat has sudden (acute) cardiomyopathy or a slower, progressive heart failure (Congestive Heart Failure, CHF), a 2010 study found that a lab test (NT-proANP) can be useful in deciding. You can read the report here.
What Treatments Are Available For My Cat ?
Where no underlying cause is found, I treat the cat with a class of medications called ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme) that improve cardiac function (enalapril, Enacard), and diuretics to remove pooled fluids (furosemide, Lasix). Low salt diets may also be helpful. The calcium channel blockers I mentioned previously help the heart muscle relax and fill more completely.
Beta-blocking drugs (atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol) are sometimes used to slow the heart rate down in cases where the heart rate is excessively fast so there is no time for filling to occur.
Although not yet approved for use in cats in 2012, Vetmedin works by increasing the amount of calcium available to the heart muscle and also lowers vascular resistance and blood pressure (increased blood vessel diameter or vasodilatation). In doing so, the pet’s heart needs to do less work. Studies show that it appears to help the hearts of cats as well as the dogs for which it is an approved use. (ref)
Vetmedin increases blood calcium levels. The more calcium that is present, the stronger are the heart’s contractions. The Drug was originally used in human medicine about 10 years ago. At the time, it was thought that it might offer hope to people with heart conditions similar to your pet’s. It did increase the force of human heart contractions, but it sometimes made the hearts pump too forcefully. Dogs and cats do not develop coronary artery disease as humans do. But human hearts with blocked or occluded coronary arteries became starved for oxygen when on this drug. This led to heart attacks and angina (chest pain). Because dog and cat hearts differ from human hearts in this respect it is permissible to use pimobendan in pets. It should be given about an hour before meals with half the dose given before breakfast and half before supper. An occasional pet will experience vomiting on this drug.
Digoxin, which acts to slow heart rate and also to improve the force of heart contractions, is often prescribed in cases of dialative cardiomyopathy when other drugs are no longer sufficient. I no longer use it because of its strong side effects and disappointing results.
Very cautious use of aspirin in cats can decrease the likelihood of clots (thromboemboli). Cats should never receive over 60 milligrams of aspirin in a forty-eight hour period and their blood chemistry, clotting and bleeding time must be closely monitored.
Some veterinarians physically remove excess fluid from the chest of cats in heart failure. I rarely do this because the fluid rapidly reoccurs and important proteins are lost when the fluid is siphoned off. Instead I try to rely on oral diuretics to remove excess fluids.
the disease will slowly worsen in your pet - despite treatment.
Some cats remain stable for years while others deteriorate more
rapidly. In general cats with thromboembolic disease, and those
with heart failure which does not respond well to ACE inhibitors
or calcium channel blockers have a bleaker outlook. Cats are quite
successful in hiding the early stages of heart failure from their
owners so many cats are not brought to my attention until the disease
is in its later stages.
In cases where a taurine deficiency is suspected, taurine should be supplemented (about 250mg twice a day). Fat cats should be put on a diet program. A low salt diet may also be helpful.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is another form of heart muscle disease. This form can be a later stage of hypertrophic disease or it may be the primary entity. Unfortunately, restrictive cardiomyopathy is quite refractory to the treatments I have outlined. Cats with this condition tend to have a very distended left atrium and are at a high risk of development of blood clots and heart failure.
Cats suffer from a number of heart conditions. The most common two are disease of the left atrio-ventricular valve (mitral valve insufficiency) and a generalized enlargement, and weakening of the heart called dilative cardiomyopathy.
What Other Drugs Might Help ?
This is another angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE inhibitor) drug. Benazepril is similar in it’s effect to enalapril (Enacard) and some vets prefer it. Forticor is used to increase the efficiency with which failing hearts pump blood and is also used to treat high blood pressure in pets. In the liver, the drug is metabolized to benazeprilat, the active compound. The dose of Forticor is best divided into two daily doses. It can be given with or without food. It is also effective in lowering blood pressure (hypertension) in cats with kidney failure.
When the maximum dose of furosemide diuretic is not sufficient to eliminate fluid buildup in the tummy (ascites) and lungs (pulmonary edema) of your pet, another diuretic, such as spirolactone, can be added to the medications your pet receives. You need to be patient - it takes 2-4 days for the full effect of the drug to be reached. Spirolactone can increase the toxicity and effect of digoxin so your pet’s digitoxin dose may need to be lowered. It can also cause an increase in serum potassium, which can be dangerous. To monitor potassium, a blood sample should be taken and measured for serum electrolytes and kidney function on the 3rd or 4th day, the 7th day and periodically there after.
Are There Some Medications It Might Be Best To Avoid ?
Perhaps corticosteroids given orally or by injection. (ref)
How Much Longer Will My Cat Live ?
Unfortunately, cats do not tend to survive as long as dogs or humans do when they develop the signs of a cardiac problem. In a study I referred to earlier (ref) ; of 164 Massachusetts cat diagnosed with this problem, the average additional life span, with intensive treatment, was 151 days.

For people who love animals, trying to balance a pet-friendly home while still achieving the interior design style they desire may seem challenging. With dirty paws, drooling, scratchy claws, and more, pets and beautiful furniture do not always appear to go hand in hand. But they can.
Learning what types of furniture can endure furry friends will help you create a home you will enjoy for years to come. Consider reaching out to Albarado’s Fine Furnishings, your local home furniture store in Lafayette, LA, to help guide you through the process!
Having a pet does not mean you are doomed to a life of unsightly furniture. You can have both. Just like people, pets have their own distinct temperament that affects their behavior. Understanding your pet’s demeanor can be beneficial to select the home furniture that complements your lifestyle while still allowing your pet to have the freedom of the home.
4 Tips for purchasing pet-friendly furniture pieces
- Durable fabric. Select furniture pieces that can withstand your pet’s claws and are easy to clean so that your pet is as comfortable in the home as you are. We have compiled a list of handy tips to help you choose the best fabrics for your furniture.
- Patterns. Patterns are great at camouflaging pet hair in between vacuuming. You can also select colors that are similar to your pet’s fur to help disguise shedding.
- Area rugs. Pet accidents are inevitable and sometimes can be hard to fully remove. Therefore, stains can set in and sometimes have a lingering smell. Purchasing area rugs that can be put in the washer and dryer will make for an easier clean-up.
- Non-fabric furniture. For animals who like to jump on tables or run into things, take into consideration how easy home furniture pieces can be knocked over. Selecting four-legged pieces that are sturdier can help them to stay put.
An estimated 65% of U.S. households are pet owners. If you are an animal lover, coming home to a loyal pet companion is rewarding. Since the majority of concerns pet owners have when shopping for home furniture is regarding seating pieces such as couches, chairs, and ottomans, knowing which fabrics are strong enough to withstand pet damage is crucial.
Best pet-friendly furniture fabrics
- Leather. Genuine 100% leather (not faux or recycled) is the most durable furniture fabric if you have pets because it’s tough and too thick for an animal’s claws to puncture. It is also great for repelling pet odor since dander and smells cannot soak into the leather. Plus, cleanup is easy. Check out our blog post on leather furniture care.
- Microfiber. This is a very durable inexpensive type of fabric. The ultra-fine microfibers are woven tightly to create a strong layer of protection. In addition, it too is easy to clean.
Even though leather and microfiber are both very durable fabrics, it would be wise to check with your local furniture store to see if they offer warranties that specifically protect new furniture from pet damage. In addition, you could discuss the pros and cons of both fabrics to help you make the decision that best fits your style.
Purchasing quality furniture that will last a long time will save you money and make your house feel more like home. To keep your fur baby from attacking or damaging your home furniture, knowing what materials to stay away from is just as important as knowing which ones are best to purchase.
4 Furniture fabrics to avoid for pet owners
- Open weaves. Fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk are especially susceptible to animal claws. These materials will not withstand having furry friends around.
- Tweed. Even though tweed can help to hide pet hair, it can also trap fine hairs between the fibers making it almost impossible to clean.
- Chenille. This durable and soft fabric seems appealing, but its tiny loops make it easy to be destroyed by your pet’s claws. Once the loops are pulled, even just a little, they cannot be fixed.
- Velvet. This soft fabric seems to attract pets and is easy to remove their fur, but not stains. Trying to get out stains will likely ruin the fabric, as will pets roughhousing on it.
Animals serve as a source of comfort and support for all ages. If you are looking to incorporate pet-friendly furniture into your home, contact us at Albarado’s Fine Furnishings today. We offer an array of premium home furniture pieces that maximize space, entertainment, and relaxation. We can help you to create an atmosphere with both you and your pet in mind.
Comfort starts and ends at Albarado’s Fine Furnishings located in Lafayette, LA.


Learning how to train your dog to brush his teeth is important. According to statistics by the American Veterinary Dental College, by the age of three, most dogs show some evidence of periodontal disease. What exactly is periodontal disease, and most of all, why is it so important to brush a dog's teeth?
Well, here's a basic explanation. After your dog eats a meal, just as it happens in people, a film of white/yellowish plaque starts to deposit on the surface of his teeth. At this stage, the plaque is easy to remove; indeed, you can even scrape it off with your nail. If not removed within 24 to 36 hours though, the minerals from the dog's saliva will cause the plaque to harden into a substance that is known as tartar.
Now, tartar can no longer be removed easily with your nails or with a toothbrush. It's stuck to the dog's teeth in a similar fashion as coral reef larvae adhere strongly to submerged rocks. At this point, the tartar will need to be mechanically removed by a veterinarian using specialized equipment (like a hand scaler or an ultrasonic scaler). If you fail to have this hardened tartar removed from your dog's teeth, the tartar will keep accumulating in layers and a cascading chain of events will start to take place.
As the tartar accumulates under the gum line, tissue damage will start to take place. The gums will start getting inflamed (gingivitis) and they will bleed and become swollen. Also, the bone and soft tissue surrounding the dog's teeth gets destroyed (periodontitis, literally from Greek meaning "inflammation around the tooth") which progressively leads to loose teeth and potential teeth falling.
Other complications that may occur include tooth root abscesses, development of an oronasal fistula, bone infections, weakening of the jaw bone which may lead in severe cases to fractures, not to mention, potential bacteria traveling from the diseased gums into the bloodstream and reaching vital organs such as the dog's heart, liver, and kidneys.
Now, when going in for a dental cleaning and extractions, dogs will necessitate anesthesia. We all would love it if our dogs could simply lie down on the examination table with their mouths wide open and say "AHHHH". Unfortunately, dogs will not sit still and be collaborative and having all those sharp instruments put in their mouths could turn potentially dangerous for both the operating veterinarian, the staff, and of course, the dog.
A good dental plan should preferably start when a dog is a puppy. If a puppy gets used to having his teeth touched and brushed from an early age, then dental care will be a breeze. However, it seems like this is unlikely to happen in most cases.
I have experienced this first hand. Back when I was working for an animal hospital, I used to dispatch a nice puppy kit to new puppy owners. The package included some toys, potty training booklets, dental chews and a small toothbrush. Once called in for their appointment many owners would take the whole kit and leave the toothbrush behind. Or some others, a few appointments later, would report that they weren't able to train their puppies to have their teeth brushed.
Many dog owners may feel that brushing their dog's teeth may be unnecessary, futile or simply a boring routine. However, those who start a good cleaning plan and keep it up, will be prized when their dogs come out from the vet's office with a clean bill of health.

Fullerton California Westin Hotel
The La Quinta Inn in Buena Park is pet friendly, and the Fullerton California West Hotel in Fullerton, California, just outside Fullerville, CA, is also pet friendly. The Fullnerton California East Hotel in Fullerton, Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California is dog and behave friendly, as well as cat and cat friendly!
Pet trash bags are available and four-legged guests can get treats at the reception. The hotel has a designated pet area and a dog beach within walking distance. There is no residential area where dogs can walk, and there is no pet maintenance area in front of the property, but there are dog beaches within walking distance of the properties, as well as dog parks.
Dogs and cats are allowed, but well-behaved pets may be left unattended in the room and may not be left outside the room. When making a reservation, there is a "Guest" field where you can enter your pets, so you can enter a fee for pets. Dogs and pets are allowed in all rooms, except in the guest rooms and private rooms with at least two pets per guest. Well - pets cannot cause any problems in your room, although they can cause trouble for guests and they may have been left unattended in the guest's room or left outside the room.
If applicable, the fees are usually displayed on-site in the "Owner's Fees" section of the checkout. Contact your host or contact the owner or read the house rules in the listing to learn more about the rules and regulations of your Airbnb property. If applicable, contact the host and read their rules or regulations as set by the host and Airbnb accommodation.
Dogs and cats are allowed, but well-behaved pets may be left unattended in the room. Guests are allowed to pet their pets during quiet hours from 10 pm and until midnight on weekends and holidays.
The old Starwood system seems to be being badly affected at the moment, as many hotels are reflagging to rival brands, which is not unexpected. In other recent reflags, where members were not warned in advance, they had only 12 months. When contracts expire and changes occur, owners are allowed to reassess what is their best course of action, and Marriott seems to be behind many of them. The hotel chain has adopted an asset-light management strategy, but still owns the properties that carry its flag.
I was in Sydney earlier this week and I walked past a Hilton that was about 100 metres from my hotel. I only went to the hotel once in 2012 and I was checking my paperwork, so I only went past it once last year.

Oh hello there! We’re sisters, Coco & Precious! Who are you?! We’re looking for our Forever Home, is it with you? We’ve been staying at the Etobicoke Humane Society for over 3 years now and as much as we love the volunteers at the shelter, we’d really like a home and family of our own. Precious is the sassy, and outgoing one. Me, Coco, I like to cuddle and lounge around. But we get along with just about everyone! We’re a little older, but don’t think that holds us back! We’re just as capable as those little kitties. We’re looking for a special kind of family. Someone who can find space in their hearts for both of us as we are a bonded pair of calico sisters with a few special needs. We eat special food and take our medication everyday, and we do it without complaining (we’re good girls like that)! Please don’t overlook us, the purrfect home would accept us just the way we are! We hope that somewhere out there, there is a family that needs us, just as much as we nee them. Our adoption fees includes: microchip, spaying, and current vaccinations.
To make an appointment to meet us or for more information, please contact the Etobicoke Humane Society at 416.249.6100 or email: Cats@EtobicokeHumaneSociety.com


Laura Sandys met with local animal welfare organisations including the Isle of Thanet RSPCA branch, TAG Pet Rescue, Cats in Crisis and the Thanet Cat Club to discuss their concerns about the rising number of unneutered cats in the area.
Laura said: “Our local animal welfare groups undertake the most superb work in helping to rehome stray/ unwanted cats but are concerned about the increasing numbers of kittens they are seeing being abandoned, and came to me to discuss the growing problem. They told me that this is becoming a serious issue in some areas with an astonishing number of cats being found neglected and left to breed further in certain properties they have visited.
“According to Cats Protection, one unneutered female feline and her descendants can produce 20,000 cats in just five years. A large unneutered cat population poses some real health problems but we also have to think about homes for all these animals- there are thousands already waiting for new homes in rescue centres up and down the country.
“With these local charities seeing larger numbers of abandoned cats, it is clear that we have to do something to stop this trend. I had a very useful meeting with the groups and we will be working together over the coming months to promote the uptake of cat neutering around Thanet. I will also be raising the groups’ concerns in Parliament with the minister responsible for pets. We very much hope that this doesn’t become more of a problem around Christmas with unneutered animals given as presents.”
The RSPCA mobile neutering clinic covering Kent offers cat neutering for just £25 with a free microchip. For more information, call: 01843 826180.
