This baby is a 3.5 month old puppy who was found roaming the rez with his littermates, left to fend for themselves.
They have all been rescued by our local Rescue, Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue and Rehabilitation

He probably ate this corn cob out of someone's garbage :(. Sadly dogs cannot pass corn cobs and they do not break down. They require Emergency veterinary surgery to remove.

Cheatgrass and foxtails are two common weeds that can pose a risk to dogs and cats due to grass awns, which are short, barbed bristles on the end of the seed. The plant heads can easily attach to your pet's fur and embed themselves anywhere on your dog or cat from ear canals, eyes, inhaled into the throat and nasal passages and into their lungs, into paw pads and between toes and other more private ‘openings’. Once embedded they cause severe infections, abscesses, and other health issues and require Veterinary removal. They do not disintegrate or decompose. They are dangerous to people as well.
If your dog or cat comes in contact with these plants they will display symptoms of discomfort/pain:
- Head shaking or Head Tilt
- Difficulty breathing
- Sneezing, Coughing, Nostril Discharge
- Scratching
- Licking
- Swelling, Bumps or Visible Wounds
- Squinting and Discharge from the eyes
It is important to be aware of what these grasses look like and try to avoid them. Groom your dogs and cats to ensure early detection and removal. If you have these plants on your property, it's a safety risk therefore very important to remove them before they bloom and are cut down as dry foxtails are especially dangerous.

This is one of the many safety reasons we don't offer off-leash walks.

The weather is gorgeous in the Catio 😻
We love Catios because they offer the best of both worlds, providing all the enrichment of laying in the sun, enjoying the breeze, and bird watching with none of the risk.

On we take an extra moment to feel grateful for how much fuller our lives are when sharing them with dogs 🐾🐶
"Having a dog is much more than just having a pet. There are many dogs out there who need saving, who need a home to be loved and cared for. National Dog Day serves as a reminder that dogs have every right to live a loving, abuse-free life."

Client Testimonial 🐾

"AMAZING pet sitters!!!!! You can truly see how much they love animals. I have always been uneasy leaving our dog with anyone that wasnt family. JaxnJaime Professional Pet Care put all my anxiety at ease. We have cameras in the house to check on him when we are away to see if he gets into something he shouldn't and to see when he starts getting antsy and they didnt even blink an eye about the cameras. They had zero issues with them. On a day where our dog's day was completely fipped upside down and we were stressing about our wedding day, I only glanced at my phone once to see if they were here with our boy and they were. the rest of the night I didnt feel any worry, anxiety or need to have my phone on me to keep checking the cameras. Even when our boy was timid at first unsure of why these people are in our house they remained calm and took the cues from him. Waited for him to be ready to trust them and play.

We can not thank you enough for everything!!!! if you need a pet sitter these are the right people to trust with your fur babies! Would recommend a million times over in a heart beat. I will not stop bragging about their amazing service and their extra touches to make us feel and know he was in good hands. (the Tux was just TOO ADORABLE!!!!)"

Too important not to share again:
If you see your cat Drooling, Vomiting, Hiding, Restlessness/Anxious, Lack of coordination, Tremors/muscle twitching, Seizures, Abnormal breathing, Excessively low or high body temperature please see your Vet immediately.
The majority of flea and tick products use harmful pesticides and/or neurotoxins to destroy the nervous systems of these bugs. When applied to your pet the toxins in these products spread chemicals throughout the whole body of your pet - inside and out. Every time your pet grooms themselves, every time you pet them or give them kisses, you’re both ingesting a bit of that neurotoxin, as well as spreading it around your home.
There are also very particular dangers to be aware of when using flea prevention /treatment on your Cats. Be sure they are specifically meant for Cats - they not only require smaller volume, different strength, but there are ingredients that are Lethal to cats in the medication for dogs.
Dogs and Cats have very different liver metabolisms, therefore many medications that can be used on dogs are Toxic to cats. It is so important to read labels - do your homework and always best talk to your Veterinarian to get the appropriate flea prevention/treatment for your companion animals, not buying over the counter treatments from Hartz, Zodiac and other no-name brands from the dollar store, Walmart, Shoppers or even the pet store.
*Dog flea and tick products contain pyrethrins, a blending of six chemicals that are toxic for cats to ingest (substance in some chrysanthemum flowers). Pyrethrins have a synthetic derivative, permethrin, which is a common ingredient in dog flea and tick products that cannot be used in cat flea medication. Since a cat’s system cannot metabolize the chemical safely, the result is damaging and even lethal side effects on many organ systems, including respiratory, nervous, and gastrointestinal.
*Permethrin is toxic to cats when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, including when grooming a companion dog that has been treated (keep this in mind if buying Advantix over the counter for your dog), walking through moist areas recently treated, or rubbing against surfaces where permethrins have recently been applied.
*Size Matters: Cats weigh less than most dogs, and size matters when it comes to appropriate flea and tick products. The amount and strength/dosage of medication used to protect cats is less than the amount used to protect a typical dog, so cat medications should not be used on dogs either. Products are dosed according to weight, not just species. Don't interchange them or guesstimate.

If a tennis ball is in your basket of dog toys there are a few things to be aware of 🎾
* Avoid the mistake of throwing balls up into the air to be caught by your dogs on the way down or throwing them directly to your dogs for them to catch in their mouths - that intact ball with the addition of speed behind it is a choking hazard. Always throw toys & balls away from your dog to chase and fetch.
(See the first comment below).
* The outer fabric may seem soft, but it is abrasive and works as sandpaper as your dog chews, wearing down your dog's teeth called 'blunting', eventually requiring Veterinary intervention.
* Since many dogs like to shred the outside fabric off and chew through the inner rubber, the ball in pieces is also a choking hazard. The risks include getting lodged in the back of the throat blocking the airway and intestinal blockages that require surgery.
* Tennis balls thrown into and retrieved from swimming pools, hot tubs, interactive fountains, or untreated recreational water from springs, lakes, or rivers are common carriers of Giardia, which can be a zoonotic infection.
* Repeatedly retrieving toys from the water poses a water intoxication risk, from a sandy beach, an impaction risk.
Any toy has the potential to be a choking hazard. As always, supervise your pets during play with toys, put them away when you can't.

ALWAYS go outside with your animal companions to supervise them and ensure their safety. Had that cat not been there and there had been no cameras, that dog would have been posted as LOST/STOLEN

Happiness Overload: Catnip in the Catio 🌱🍃☀️🐈
Added bonus, Catnip is a natural mosquito repellant, therefore a great addition to the Catio!
Catnip, or nepeta cataria, is an herbaceous perennial. The active ingredient in catnip is an essential oil called nepetalactone. It’s thought to mimic feline pheromones, which cause a euphoric reaction in cats. All cats need a daily dose of exercise to help keep their weight on track and avoid health problems - having a Catio + Catnip increases activity levels and enrichment. Win-Win 🐾
