Some still don't get it

Crate training is a great idea for dog owners of all ages. Crates are useful tools for puppies, safe havens for senior dogs, and lifesavers for emergencies.

I wish people would stop thinking posting ear cropped puppies is a race to the finish line. Cropping is a big commitment and takes as long as it takes.

WATER INTOXICATION:
YOUR DOG NEEDS YOU TO READ THIS

Water intoxication can happen rather quickly when playing ball with your dog in the water. Some dogs will swallow large quantities of water while they play, especially when the dogs are diving with an open mouth.

Here's what happens on the inside. Drinking too much brings electrolyte levels dangerously low and leads to thinning of the blood plasma and leading to swelling of the brain and other organs. Symptoms include lethargy, bloating, vomiting, dilated pupils,lack of coordination, glazed eyes and excessive salivation. If unresolved, this can lead to a breathing crisis. The dog may lose consciousness or suffer seizures.

So limit the amount of time your dog plays 'fetch' in the water. A few minutes won't hurt, but after that, continue the ball game on land. We have seen pets during this heat wave perish from water intoxication.

Puppy Shots 💉

The maternal immunity will protect the newborn during the first few weeks of life. This immunity will start to decline with time, usually reaching a low point at 6-12 weeks of age.

Vacc|in|ations given when the maternal antibody is HIGH will not produce immunization of the puppy or kitten; they will only serve to "poke" an immature immune system.

One study showed that only 60% of puppies were able to respond to a vacc|ine at 16 weeks, but 95% could be immunized at 18 weeks. If puppies were kept in a safe environment and had good maternal protection (based on having a mother with good titers before breeding), waiting until 16 to 18 weeks to immunize would be ideal.

🩺 Dr. Judy Tip: only give one shot at a time!
➡️ Give parvo by itself, then 2-3 weeks later, give distemper by itself.
➡️Run titers one month later to make sure the puppy produced immunity against the viruses.
➡️I wait until 6-12 months for Rabies.

IS YOUR DOG’S COAT DRY & DULL? SHE MAY BE MISSING THIS IMPORTANT BRAIN-PROTECTING FAT FROM THEIR DIET!🥑🐶

Often a poor or dull hair coat is a sign of insufficient healthy fat or consumption of low-quality fats. Including raw, unprocessed fats in your pet’s diet is important for general health. One type of these “good” fats are monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), also known as omega-9s or “oleic acid”. Avocados are chock-full of oleic acid (also found in olive oil 🫒), and also loaded with folate, and vitamins B and E, all of which help support healthy skin. Adding a small amount of avocado to your dog’s diet is a good way to provide them with the healthy fats needed to maintain healthy skin and coat, but studies show may also help protect and improve brain function!🧠

Research finds MUFAs help protect a group of brain cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes are not only important for normal brain function, they also help repair and regenerate nerve cells that have been damaged due to toxins or inflammation. In a 2012 animal study, MUFA’s improved the brain’s ability to control muscles in animals that had impaired mobility due to damaged astrocytes. In addition, these cells play a key role in driving the master circadian clock in the brain. Protecting these brain cells is vital for your dog’s nervous system and circadian rhythm (the sleep-wake cycle).☀️🌑

This green fruit also boasts significant amounts of vitamin C and potassium, plus a lot of pre-biotic fiber for a healthy gut! And emerging research shows that avocados, rich in the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, also benefits eye and joint health. With a whole list of health benefits, it’s clear why this fruit is considered one of the most powerful superfoods!

How avocados got a bad rap with pets:
1. the pits are choking hazard: don’t offer whole avocados to dogs
2. the skin and pit of avocados contain a substance called persin that can cause GI upset for your whole family (2 and 4 legged), so don’t feed your family these parts these inedible parts. Avocado flesh is safe and healthy for you and your dog (click the link in the comments👇 to read the latest safety study and watch our FB live about the topic).

👉HOW TO FEED: Remove the pit, skin and stem. Mix a small amount of avocado flesh in with your dog’s food, use the cubed fruit as training treats, or smear a wedge the size of an orange slice approximately 1 ounce (40 calories), for every 40 pounds of pooch onto a lick mat daily.
