Tips for a Pet Friendly Valentine's Day

As Valentine’s Day approaches, you may be thinking about giving—or getting—the perfect gift. But did you know that the traditional tokens of affection—roses, chocolates, and other candies—can be harmful for the four-legged loves of your life?

Here are some tips on having a loving and safe Valentine’s Day:

- Please take caution with roses or other blooms containing thorns, which could prove harmful to pets if played with, bitten, stepped on or swallowed. Pet's can develop serious infections from thorn punctures. Also, many varieties of lilies are highly toxic to cats.

- In any form ranging from one-ounce baking squares to hand-dipped truffles, chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both methylxanthines that can cause stimulation of the central nervous system, an increase in heart rate and tremors. Clinical signs—vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, hyperactivity, and increased thirst, urination and heart rate—can be seen with the ingestion of as little as two ounces of baking chocolate by a 10-pound dog.

- Another potential hazard is gum or candy sweetened with the sugar substitute xylitol, which can cause a fairly sudden drop in blood sugar (known as hypoglycemia), resulting in depression, loss of coordination and seizures. If you suspect your dog may have eaten products containing any of these harmful ingredients, please seek veterinary treatment immediately.

- Lastly, it may seem very tempting to give your loved one a new puppy or kitten for Valentine’s Day—they sure are cute and cuddly! But bringing a new companion animal into your home is a big decision. If giving a new pet is #1 on your list, why not adopt from your local shelter or take a trip to the shelter together? You might just make another love match.

Been a While

Well, we were a bit busy over the holidays and have neglected our dogster page. Now that things have slowed down (a bit too much) we will be checking in with our dogster friends more often.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and has a wonderful New Year!

Woof!

As a fan of Cesar, I want to help spread the word about Cesar's New Holiday Packs! With these gift packs, you save up to $55 on the regular price. There are 5 different gift packs to choose from.

Dog Rescue and Adoption Meeting

We will be having our November meeting for the Fort Worth Under Dogs on November 4th at 2pm. We will discuss which non-profit dog organization to sponsor this holiday season.

Your dogs are welcome to since our meeting will be held at Hound Around Daycare in Fort Worth. Our dogs can play while we chat away.

If you would like more information please go to this link:

Hope to see some of my dogster pals there.

Halloween Safety for Our Pups

From Krista Mifflin,
Your Guide to Dogs

Halloween is almost here. And with it comes hundreds of ghouls, goblins, and superheroes, all holding out tempting bags of goodies full of treats and potential chew toys. Is it any wonder that dogs view Halloween as smorgasbord of possibilities?

While sharing their trick or treating booty with their best furry pal may seem like a natural conclusion to a night of revelry to children, I do advise that parents step in and curtail this part of the process. Both chocolate and raisins have serious effects on dogs, from mild to severe, and potentially fatal.

In addition to the treat hazards, not every dog will enjoy this ghoulish knight ... I mean night.

Costumes designed to alter the appearance of their favourite humans can be frightening to dogs.
And forty little ghouls and boys knocking on your door over the span of an hour in the evening darkness can make even the most the stout-hearted flee for cover, or worse, incite him into a play-time frenzy that can be scarey for the trick-or-treaters. A loudly barking, over-excited dog might scare off all the costumed children that would otherwise knock on your door.

Putting your pets outside for the evening can also be asking for trouble. Kids who would otherwise be afraid of the consequences may take advantage of the anonymity of costuming to tease animals, or release them into the streets, causing harm to the dogs or worse, other Halloween revellers. A scared and frightened dog may feel cornered, and react with teeth bared, causing much grief for his owner, himself, and whoever has him cornered.

If your Oscar is the type to let you dress him up, please remember to never leave a dog unsupervised in a costume. Make sure that all elastics are accounted for, and loose fitting. A dog that gnaws on his costume can also end up with bowel obstructions and could possibly choke on any small parts. A costume can cause tangling in trees and bushes, so please be careful and watch your pet closely.

Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.

We won't be able to adopt a shelter dog but we will be taking donations to our local shelter this entire month. My favorite thing to take to the shelter are fleece blankets. Walmart has them for under $4 and the dogs love to lay on them. I wish we could adopt all the dogs that need help.
