WELL-BEING WEDNESDAY #3 As the holidays approach, you will want to be aware of things that can be harmful to dogs:
1. Real Christmas trees - pine needles can irritate your dogs stomach but the biggest culprit is the preservative some companies use on the trees. It can collect in the water used to keep your tree fresh.
2. Poinsettias, Holly and Mistletoe - common live plant decor
3. Chocolate, Hot Cocoa, Alcohol
4. Pan drippings, cooked bones and fats from meats
5. Grapes, raisins, onions, garlic and leeks
6. XYLITOL - an artificial sweetener used in most candies

Be safe out there!!!

One more reason we do not use or recommend the "gentle leader or other harnesses that come across the dogs face.

Here is the vascular system in a canine head. This highlights the enormous amount of blood flow in the dogs nose. This blood flow serves many purposes, fuels the scent chambers, aids in temperature regulation, allows dogs to effectively track, but this also makes the dogs nose incredibly sensitive to touch. This is the main reason you should not use face harnesses. There are plenty of tools designed to communicate with dogs that do not put pressure on one of their most sensitive features.

Update: Trevor was adopted!

Come meet Trevor. Please consider adopting this sweet old guy who is nearly 12 years old. He was dropped off basically because he can’t do stairs anymore. 😢 He’s gentle and likes slow walks. He will be forever grateful to not have to spend his final journey in a shelter.

Motley is a well-loved, 2-1/2 yrs old, 85 lbs, Labradoodle who was rescued in Montana and is now living in Colorado with his human who is having to work 12-13 hrs days. Being home alone for long hours all week is not healthy for this social dog who also enjoys the company of other dogs and cats.
