Do you like to go on long walks with your dog? Be aware that your dog may encounter wild animals like bats, raccoons, foxes, and more that can still carry the rabies virus. That’s one of the reasons it’s so important to vaccinate against rabies.

Long walks or not, it's essential for your health and theirs that they're up-to-date on all vaccines.

Updates to CDC’s August 1 dog importation rule: If you are bringing a dog into the US from a dog rabies-free or low-risk country, you now only need to fill out the simple CDC Dog Import Form. Other forms are no longer needed. The requirements for dogs arriving from high-risk countries have not changed, and these dogs are still required to have additional documents.

Meal Enrichment for Cats:

Cats can retain many behaviours of their wild ancestors. As predators, they have strength, agility, speed and keen senses to catch prey effectively. Owners can help their feline friends express these natural skills during mealtimes. Food enrichment provides physical and behavioral well-being for the cat and enjoyment for the family.
Using the following tools to feed part of the daily meal or special treats. Many diets, including prescription diets, can be enhanced with wet or dry foods.

1. Wet food can be smeared since cats lick up their meals:
- Spread food onto a silicone potholder to provide nooks and crannies for extra licking. Place the potholder on the floor or hang it on a wall
- Commercial feeders can be purchased online or at pet stores that enable canned food feedings

2. Dry food can be placed in puzzles that cats bat, push and move about to get the food to fall out:
- Fold toilet paper tubes stuffed with kibble for pushing, swatting and chewing
- Many commercial puzzles available for small dogs work well for cats. Put lots of kibble in the puzzle to help novice cats be successful

3. Hide and seek because cats use the sense of smell to find food:
- Scatter kibble on cat trees, shelves, behind plants and couches. Start with easy hides in a small room and increase the search difficulty as the cat improves
- Filled puzzle feeders can be hidden within a room or house to encourage the cat to find them

4. Interactive games build a better bond:
- Let your cat watch you fill the puzzle and sit with them while they work
- Clicker training is a great way to feed meals and teach healthcare behaviours

Safety Tips:
- Supervise pet interactions when using these in a multi-pet household
-Observe your cat during food enrichment to be sure they don’t get stuck, injured or become frustrated
-Small meals in feeders prevent gulping and may lessen vomiting
