Check out this FREE summit!

Have you ever felt like you’re not doing enough for your dog? Life gets busy, and after a long, stressful day, it’s only natural to want to unwind with your family and your dog.

That’s a wonderful way to end the day, but sometimes we can’t help but feel a little overwhelmed—or even guilty—that we’re not meeting all of our dog’s needs. While they may get the basics and more, there are times when we just don’t have the energy or resources to give them everything they deserve.

That’s where the FREE 11-day virtual Dog Enrichment Summit comes in! Starting Tuesday, January 21st, this event features over 20 world-class speakers specializing in creative and practical ways to enrich your dog’s life.

Here’s a sneak peek at just some of the simple, fun activities you’ll learn about:

Hoopers

Hunting & nose games

Leash tugs

Sensory gardens

Freework

Rally, herding, or tricks

Enrichment games

Brain games, training, & fitness

Play enrichment

Interactive toys

Canicross

Control Unleashed

These activities don’t require a lot of time, money, or effort to set up, and you’ll enjoy them just as much as your dog—a true win-win! There will also be presentations on reactivity, prey drive, trauma, and aggression that you won’t want to miss.

This summit is designed to help you fill the enrichment gap, offering easy, actionable ideas that will make every moment with your dog meaningful.

Don’t miss out—join us for this FREE summit and discover how to add more joy and fulfillment to your dog’s life.

We can’t wait to see you there! Register now: https://summit.enrichdogs.com/ayoka

Will there be daycare tomorrow? Probably not if roads are bad. I’d rather everyone stay safe!
Boarding dogs, I will be out at the kennel for drop offs.
Stay safe all!

"WILL THERE BE SCHOOL TOMORROW??"

The forecast indicates that wind speeds will increase to 70 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching 100 km/h tomorrow morning, creating near-zero visibility due to blowing snow.

ECCC says that these conditions will make travel "**nearly impossible**"

It's rare that they put out wording that strong but it is also a warning that should be taken seriously. The Weather Centre of Manitoba cannot decide if schools close or at the least, buses don't run outside city limits but we urge administrations in the warned area to make a decision sooner rather than later in this case.

🎄12 DANGERS OF CHRISTMAS🎄

DAY 4: TOXIC CHRISTMAS PLANTS 🪴

There are several Christmas plants that can be toxic to pets. Here are some common ones to be aware of:

1. Poinsettias: While not as toxic as once believed, they can still cause mild irritation to the mouth and stomach, leading to vomiting.

2. Holly: The berries can be toxic and may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested.

3. Mistletoe: Both the leaves and berries are toxic and can lead to gastrointestinal upset and even more severe symptoms.

4. Christmas Cactus: While generally considered non-toxic, it can still cause mild digestive upset if eaten.

5. Amaryllis: This plant can cause significant gastrointestinal upset and other symptoms if ingested.

To keep your pets safe, it’s best to avoid having these plants in your home or ensure they are placed out of reach. Always consult with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has ingested any toxic plants.

🎄12 DANGERS OF CHRISTMAS🎄

DAY 2: ANTI-FREEZE TOXICITY❄️

Antifreeze is highly toxic to cats, primarily because it contains ethylene glycol, which has a sweet taste that can attract them. Even a small amount can lead to severe health issues, including kidney failure.

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning in cats can include vomiting, lethargy, increased thirst, and seizures. If you suspect your cat has ingested antifreeze, it's crucial to seek veterinary help immediately, as prompt treatment can be lifesaving. Always ensure that antifreeze is stored securely and cleaned up spills to prevent accidental ingestion.

Okay, I’m a little late to the show but I’m going to share these anyways!

🎄12 DANGERS OF CHRISTMAS🎄

DAY 1: CHOCOLATE TOXICITY🍫

Chocolate can be very toxic to dogs, especially around Christmas when there might be more chocolate treats around. It's important to keep any chocolate products well out of your dog's reach.

If a dog ingests chocolate, it can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid breathing, and even seizures, depending on the amount consumed and the type of chocolate.

If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, it’s best to contact us immediately for advice. Make sure to keep an eye on your pup during the festive season!🐶

Please consider fostering!

📢 Meet Kipper and Sonny – Urgent Foster Homes Needed! 🏡

These two sweet souls are in desperate need of foster homes after the sudden passing of their owner. They’re currently in a boarding facility, but they deserve the comfort and love of a home. Can you help?

💙 Sonny is just 8 months old and would adapt well to any loving home.
💗Kipper is 5 years old and prefers a quiet, country home with no small kids or other pets.

Both are used to country living and would thrive in rural settings. They are absolutely lovely and ready to bring so much joy to the right foster homes.

If you can open your heart and home to Sonny, Kipper, or both, please reach out! Let’s help them transition from this difficult time into a brighter future.

🐾 Please share to spread the word!
