To all our wonderful dog parents - there is no naughty list this year - the teacher made sure it was eaten. Take the time to enjoy your puppers, they don't always get to have you to themselves. Have a wonderful Christmas

Forcing your dog to interact during the holidays isn’t socialization, it’s pressure.
Socialization is choice.
It’s exposure with safety.
It’s the ability to disengage.
Dragging a dog back into a loud room because “he needs to get used to it” teaches one thing: that his/her boundaries don’t matter and they lose their trust in you.
And dogs who feel unheard don’t become calmer.
Power breeds become reactive and companion dogs go into shutdown. Opting out gives your dog an alternative to this.
If your dog opts out, respect it.
That choice is regulation and shows you just how smart your dog is.

Another exciting weekend at Windhoek Pet Lodge, from Body Talk and training sessions, to sitting in the doggy yard cuddling the dogs. Thank you so much for hosting us, you made the weekend another one for the books. Jan, Robert, Marie and Petra, can't wait to do this again.
SPCA Windhoek - working with your staff reminds us once again of the selfless dedication and love they have for the animals. They really want to do right by the animals and had wonderful questions. Well done!!

Povidone Iodine—Nature’s Antimicrobial Solution🌱🦠🐾

If paws are bleeding🩸, have sores, or trauma from licking, I recommend using povidone iodine (Betadine™)—a safe, nontoxic solution that’s antifungal (for yeast and dermatophytes ), antibacterial (even against resistant infections ), doesn’t sting, and promotes wound healing .

If the paws are inflamed or have open sores or abrasions, soak them longer, ideally 2 to 5 minutes. This helps effectively address potential sources of infection, reducing the need for oral antibiotics or other drugs.

There's also a 25+ page "SUMMER ITCH GUIDE" filled with paw soaks, ear cleaners, hotspot remedies, and natural ear infection protocols available to download NOW in the Inside Scoop group!

Heat, moisture, and allergens create the perfect storm for itching, licking, and inflammation.👅🔥 Paws are often the first point of contact with allergens, irritants, and moisture ☀️🌳🏖️ - all of which can contribute to or worsen issues like environmental allergies, yeast overgrowth, parasites, and bacterial infections.

On Sunday's episode of the Inside Scoop, we broke down what’s behind these frustrating issues — and exactly how to prevent and treat them using safe, natural remedies for irritated paws, inflamed ears, and chronic skin problems.
