THANK YOU!! We have the best guardians!

Oh WOW! If you’re out in this area, please keep your eyes open for these dogs who have possibly been dumped.

UPDATE (Aug 1 @ 10:30pm): Last reported sighting at RR 290 and Township 284 at appx 2:30pm on July 31. Map in comments. We are unsure if this pup may still be at large. Please continue to keep an eye out and notify those in the area.

1 more Shiba was turned into Carstairs Vet this morning. They were found by a property owner south of the race track near Township Road 300.

UPDATE (Aug 1 @ 8am): ASPCA has taken over the case and will be looking after placements for the dogs as an investigation is reportedly underway. KCS Animal Rescue in Airdrie is caring for 3 of the dogs. Due to the seriousness of the situation, we are not privy to any more details at this time.

Correction: This update was corrected as it incorrectly stated that ASPCA would be taking all the dogs into custody.

We have not heard of any more sightings within the last 24 hours. As no one is certain how many dogs were released to begin with, it is impossible to say how many, if any, are still at large. Please continue to keep your eyes open and notify people in the area.

————————-

We are actively following a suspected dumping case of several Shiba Inu in the Crossfield/Carstairs area. 10 Shibas are now confirmed caught and are in the care of Carstairs Vet or a local rescue. There is possibly still a handful of Shibas still at large (the vet estimates 13-15 were dumped based on reports of sightings by locals). The Shibas who have been caught are reportedly in poor condition. So far, all sighted/caught have been black and tan. Some are quite small in stature (possibly puppies or mixed breed). Local bylaw and SPCA have been notified and are beginning an investigation.

Please help keep an eye out for these loose Shibas and share with anyone living or traveling through the area indicated in the map. Caught Shibas can be brought to Carstairs Vet or KCS Animal Rescue but please do not chase. These dogs are very scared.

Please DM us with reports of sightings so we can notify contacts in the area and arrange for volunteers to go out to search.

So many initiatives today for Jasper!

Did you know that 80% of pet owners are unaware of the dangers of extreme weather conditions for their pets? Heat and smoke can be really hard on our furry family members.
Here's how you can ensure your furry friend's safety this summer.

As pet owners, we want to include our pets in all our summer activities, but it's crucial to ensure these activities are age-appropriate and safe from extreme weather conditions. Pets can suffer from heatstroke, dehydration, respiratory issues and even burn their paws on hot pavement. Always provide plenty of water, seek shade, and avoid peak sun hours. When planning activities, consider your pet's age and physical condition. Puppies and senior pets may not handle the heat or smoke as well as younger, more active animals. For more tips and to find products that keep your pet cool, safe and happy, visit our store.

Keep Your Pets Hydrated: National Pet Hydration Awareness Month

July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month, an essential reminder to ensure our pets stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. It’s going to be another hot week and dehydration can lead to serious health issues, so here’s how to keep your pets hydrated and healthy:

Always Provide Fresh Water

Ensure your pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times. Refill their bowls regularly throughout the day.

Use Water Fountains

Pet water fountains encourage drinking by keeping the water fresh and moving. They are especially great for cats who prefer running water.

Monitor for Dehydration

Watch for signs of dehydration such as dry gums, lethargy, and reduced skin elasticity. If you notice any of these signs, provide water immediately and consult your vet if needed.

Hydrating Foods

Incorporate wet foods or hydrating treats into your pet’s diet. These can help supplement their water intake. Bone broth is perfect for adding extra moisture into their diet.

Cool Environments

Keep your pets in cool, shaded areas during the hottest parts of the day to prevent overheating and dehydration.

Visit Pet Planet Beddington for a variety of hydration solutions, hydrating treats, and more.

Protect Your Pets: National Lost Pet Prevention Month

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, a crucial time to focus on keeping our beloved pets safe and secure. Losing a pet can be a heartbreaking experience, but with the right precautions, we can minimize the risks. Here’s how you can ensure your furry friends stay safe:

Microchip Your Pets
A microchip is a reliable way to ensure your pet can be identified if they get lost. It’s a simple, painless procedure that can be done by your vet.

Secure Your Home and Yard
Make sure your fences and gates are secure. Regularly check for any potential escape routes your pet might find.

Proper Identification
Ensure your pet wears a collar with an up-to-date ID tag at all times. Include your phone number and address for easy contact. It's easy - we can engrave one while you wait!

Leash and Supervise
Always keep your pets on a leash when outside and supervise them during outdoor activities.

Training and Recall
Invest time in training your pet to respond to recall commands. A well-trained pet is less likely to wander off.

Visit Pet Planet Beddington for all your pet safety needs. We offer a range of ID tags, collars, and leashes to keep your pets secure.
