Reasons why to leave rawhide treats out of your pets Santa sack. Rawhide is by-product from leather. The chemicals involved in processing rawhide is not ideal for our pets to be consuming. Rawhide is normally soaked in chemicals which can include arsenic, mercury, lead, chromium salts, harmful preservatives, flavours & other additives. Also, quite often rawhide is bleached. They are hard for your dog to digest, can cause internal blockages & can be a chocking hazard. Rawhide can be contaminated with bacteria like campylobacter and salmonella. There are many different safer chew treats we can give our dogs.

Heat stroke is extremely dangerous it can lead to multiple organ failure (for every organ that is affected prognosis decreases by 25%)and fatalities. Dogs do not sweat like people do they only have very small sweat glands on their paws and around their nose. They main way to loose heat is through panting. Signs of heat stroke are excessive panting & salivation. Dark red tongue (mucous membranes can be dark red, pale ,purple or blue depending on the stage) struggling to breathe. Vomiting & diarrhoea. Racing heart, dizziness, lethargy & collapsing. Followed by seizure, coma and death. Brachycephalic breeds (the flatter the face the worse ) are much more likely to suffer from heat stroke due to restrictive air flow making it harder to cool themselves. Obese and large breed dogs also have a higher risk. Also some medical conditions can put dogs at higher risk. How to treat heat stroke 1. Remove you dog from heat 2. Slowly lower your dogs body temp, don’t use ice baths this cools their body to quick and can put them in shock, organ failure and also causes construction of blood vessels (which lowers their cooling ability) wet them down with hose or bucket, don’t wrap with wet towel as this traps heat. 3. Use a fan/air con to blow over damp skin 4. Offer water 5. Apply alcohol to foot pads 6. Vet as soon as possible. The vet can put them on IV fluids and oxygen therapy & possibly blood/plasma transfusion. They may do blood tests to check the severity and organ function. Despite looking good on the outside, there could be a lot of internal problems going on with organ damage, blood clotting & even brain swelling. Main causes of heat stroke are walking in the heat, dogs being left in the car/house/garage when to hot. Any temp above 19 degrees has potential to cause heat stroke. Here at Aroha iti Frenchies we keep our furbabies cool by Clamshell Paddling pools are great, cooling mats/vests, water play, big heavy water bowls that cannot be knocked over (ice in
