Your Pet's Second Best Friend Pet Sitting

04/29/2024

I just have to rant, Shelby our dog torn her nail and ripped the nail but still holding on with her toe meat showing, I am calling vets around Falcon area to see if they can get her in. I am on lunch so I figured I can drop her off and get her after they sedate and fix the toe.

My vet is in a meeting from 12-2pm. So I call around
Tender care in emergency surgery for 4 hours okay, no problem, I’ll try someone else, I call Animal hospital of falcon, literally on the phone I ask, my dog torn her nail can I get in today to be seen, the receptionist answer back “No” umm excuse me? no?
How about sorry we don’t have room today or my doctors is in an emergency right now, okay I’ll understand the real big emergencies but “ NO “and then I just hung straight up.
Horrible customer service, I can’t believe I was told that, I would NEVER say that to someone. Ever. End of rant

My vet will see her at 3pm and unfortunately I had to call off the rest of the day to get this sorted with my dogs nail.
But who does that type verbiage in a business.

When dogs have digestive issues, you might think of giving them rice, but it’s not the best choice.

Rice lacks essential fiber and nutrients needed for recovery and carries risks like arsenic contamination, which can lead to serious health issues.

Rice is also high in carbohydrates, increasing the risk of diabetes—now affecting 1 in 300 dogs.

Nutritionally, rice offers little value, lacking in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients crucial for a dog’s diet. Furthermore, substituting meat with rice in dog food reduces the intake of essential amino acids like taurine, necessary for their health.

Dogs have thrived for millennia on meats and specific plant materials, not on processed grains like rice.

Choosing alternatives that align with their natural dietary needs is crucial for their wellbeing. For more insights on why rice might not be the right choice for your dog.

We love bananas for our pups!

This fruit is one of the most popular in the world, and for good reason. It's rich in antioxidants, prebiotics and phytochemicals. When it comes to offering it to pets, the greener it is the better.

This is a 🚨DSA 🚨

Multitasking is hard enough, and with a leash in your hand things can get even more complicated. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to your dog while on a walk, instead of texting, talking, or doom scrolling at the same time.

Focusing on your dog and being aware of your surroundings while on a stroll can help with training, dog safety, and human safety. Without distractions you’ll be prepared for anything that might cross your path (squirrels and skateboards and toddlers, oh my!), notice anything your dog might want to eat off the street before it’s too late, and most enjoyably, have some quality bonding time. And. you'll do it all while soaking in those adorable glances they give you because they’re having the best walk ever with their favorite person ever 🐕🧡

To learn more about why focused walks rule, read our Digest article: https://thefarmersdog.visitlink.me/szEhmC

We're heartbroken we couldn't help Bunny 💔

Many of you will remember Bunny from a Facebook post we did several days ago. We're sad to report that she passed before we could help her.

Bunny was 3 years old.
Her passing was a direct result of human greed. Those short legs and smushed noses that have become all the rage lately are bred into dogs at the cost of their health and well-being. Most dogs bred to look like Bunny lead very short lives. At just 3 years old, after her body was used to produce countless puppies, Bunny was slated to join Ho-Bo Care as a hospice case due to her breathing and bleeding problems. When Bunny then presented with pyometra which is fatal unless surgically treated, her little body just couldn't withstand the needed surgery. She was let go.

Pyometra is 100% preventable. Spaying your dog is all it takes. But Bunny's future and well being were rarely considered or valued in her short life.

Please. On behalf of Bunny and the thousands of dogs just like her, spay and neuter your pets. Do not support cruel breeding practices. Rescue a dog that needs you.

Thank you to the doggy warriors at Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region for showing Bunny so much love and compassion.

Run pain free Bunny 🌈

The holy grail of longevity foods, protecting your dog like a suit of armour.🫐

Blueberries are an awesome source of prebiotic fiber and are chock-full of polyphenols. Studies have found that blueberries delay the aging process by promoting the repair of DNA strands.🧬 Diets supplemented with this blue antioxidant powerhouse can potentially sustain the body’s antioxidant levels and protect against oxidative damage💥, making them one of our top recommendations you can share from your refrigerator!

We use a lot of frozen blueberries as training treats, when fresh blueberries aren’t in season. But be forewarned: more than one blueberry for every two pounds of body weight a day (i.e., five blueberries for a ten-pound dog) can lead to completely benign dark blue p**p, so feed a few, then move on to other Longevity Foods as healthy rewards.
