❤️❤️❤️Let's talk Heartworms! ❤️❤️❤️

* Did you know Heartworm disease is a serious, and potentially fatal, disease in pets? It is caused by footlong worms that live in the heart and lungs.

* Did you know dogs are the natural host for heartworms, which means heartworms live inside the dog, mature, mate, and produce offspring?

* Did you know mosquitos play an essential role in the heartworm lifecycle?

* Did you know heartworm disease has now been diagnosed in all 50 states? Parts of Mississippi has over 100 cases per clinic, YEARLY!

* Did you know heartworms can be PREVENTED?! THEY CAN!! There are several different preventions available for your dog and your veterinarian can recommend, and prescribe, the prevention that best fits your lifestyle and needs.

* Here is a list of some available heartworm preventions. Please remember they are prescription only. It is extremely important to maintain the client/patient/veterinarian relationship to ensure your pets receive the best care possible!

This is Aston. He was neutered yesterday. Hates the cone of shame so much that they had to come up with a better solution. Pants. 13/10 (follow .devil on Instagram)

Do we train children with obedience? No. Do we expect human children to be perfectly behaved 100% of them time? No. Do we expect them to never have a tantrum when they're told no, are tired, or cry because they're afraid at the doctor's office? Of course not. Do we shame parents for a crying child? No. Do we offer unsolicited parenting advice while their child is face down in the middle of the grocery store? No, (and if you do you probably shouldn't.) We teach children life skills be integrated into our adult world, giving them tools for communication and understanding when they might just need a break. We teach children manners, not obedience.

This expectation that dogs should have robotic performance for commands is a construct left over from the now debunked dominance theory. When dominance theory was en vogue, people wanted to prove they were in charge of their dog, so barked commands and the dog was expected to perform. It was a relationship based on fear, not trust and love. Do what I ask or be punished. Not, do what I ask because you are opting in and this is a cooperative relationship.

I might preach a little too much about spaying and neutering pets...

Admit it, caring for your pet can make you happy too. Science is working on why.

Hahaha! It's all fun and games until it's time to find homes for all the puppies.

Better to spay and neuter your pets, my friends!

BE A PARENT NOT A PIMP
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~
Most of us want to take our pup out-and-about with us; from the countryside walks to brunch at the local café or pub. We will plan to go on holiday, stay in hotels or visit friends, perhaps go to classes, a dog show or the local garden fête.

To ensure these outings are as pleasant an experience for your dog as they are for you we need to begin to familiarise the youngster with these anticipated but unnatural environments.

A familiarisation protocol should ensure that a puppy has the time to assess, observe, and become familiar with, the weird and wonderful life that will be their future. If you rush this and the pup becomes fearful of people at the cafe, then this shared outing may never be on your dream list.

Do not rely on putting it right or fixing this associated anxiety at a later date. “Become familiar with” should never involve anxiety, it should always be gradual, never extreme and the pup should always have the right to say “no thanks”.
