It's hot out there! ☀ As we enter into the long weekend, and have been experiencing high temperatures, please remember to keep your dogs cool and out of the heat. While we know you want them to partake in the summer fun, we want them to remain safe as well. Here are a few tips for dealing with the heat:
❗️Walk dogs early in the morning or in the evening, avoiding peak sun hours.
❗️Keep walks short and always have water available.
❗️Find activities where they can cool down like swimming, or frozen treats.
❗️Provide them with indoor enrichment, like food puzzles or games.
❗️Do NOT leave them in the car, even if only for a few moments.
❗️When in doubt, leave them at home.

🐶 What does normal growth and development look like?

Puppies grow quickly, maturing to adulthood by the time they are 10-12 months of age for small and medium sized breeds and 18-24 months for large and giant breeds.

Growth rates for puppies vary by breed and involve a complex process of interactions among genetics, nutrition, and the environment. Proper nutrition is critical to the health and development of puppies, regardless of breed, and it directly influences their immune system and body composition. The nutrient density of food and the amount of food fed can mean the difference between optimal growth and maximal growth.

🐱 What does normal growth and development look like?

Kittens grow quickly, maturing to adulthood by the time they are 10-12 months of age. Their growth rate slows as they approach 80% of adult size at about 30 weeks of age, and they reach adult body size at about 40 weeks of age.

Growth rates for kittens vary by breed and involve a complex process of interactions among genetics, nutrition, and the environment. Proper nutrition is critical to the health and development of kittens, regardless of breed, and it directly influences their immune system and body composition. The nutrient density of food and the amount of food fed can mean the difference between optimal growth and maximal growth.

🐾💖 One of the most beautiful things about pets is their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. Whether you're coming home after a long day at work or simply lounging on the couch, pets are always there by your side, ready to offer comfort, companionship, and a listening ear. Their presence brings a sense of warmth and security to our lives, reminding us that we're never alone as long as we have our furry friends by our side.

🐾 Attention Pet Parents! 🐾

Planning a trip to the U.S. with your furry companion? 🐶✈️

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated their travel rules for dogs, effective August 1, 2024, and it might affect your plans. It is very important to make sure you’re up-to-date on these new regulations before you leave by checking out the full list of requirements on the CDC website.

Here's a quick look at the rules that have been updated:
• Dogs must be at least 6 months of age at the time of entry or return to the U.S.
• Dogs must have an implanted International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-compatible microchip.
• Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival, or they may be required to undergo isolation, veterinary examinations and additional testing, at the importer’s expense, to determine if the dog has a contagious disease.
• Owners must have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt that includes all current information, including the correct port of entry where the dog is arriving.

To learn more about the many specific details that accompany each new requirement, click the link below.

🐶 Why are noses important to dogs?

The canine nose does more than smell the roses. While humans primarily depend on their vision, dogs use both sight and smell to assess their surroundings and communicate. People spend more time interpreting visual data than olfactory information. Dogs are just the opposite.

Dogs devote lots of brain power to interpreting smells. They have more than 100 million sensory receptor sites in the nasal cavity compared to 6 million in people, and the area of the canine brain devoted to analyzing odors is about 40 times larger than the comparable part of the human brain. In fact, it has been estimated that dogs can smell anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 times better than people.

🐶 Why do dogs have wet noses?

The canine nose works best when it is damp. The wet outer nose and mucus-covered nasal canal efficiently capture scent particles. Moisture is so important to the canine sense of smell, that dogs will lick their noses when they become dry. Smart canines do not want to miss out on important information due to a dry nose!

We hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! ☀️

Especially our hard working blood donors. We had some of our positive donors stock up our blood bank; Ranger, Roxy, and Phoenix did such a great job. We also had a few negative donors come in; the infamous Fred and Barney were perfect as always.
We also got to congratulate two new donors on their very first donation; Wendel a negative blood type, and River, a positive.
What a great looking bunch of pups!
