It’s always hard when one of my clients loses their beloved fur baby- but what’s even harder is when you have to put down one of your own. Buckeye has been a member of our family since he was 8 weeks old, he’s been such an awesome, loving, cuddly boy. He’s grown up with my kids. He will be greatly missed

Spring showers have brought outdoor plants into bloom. If you have pets (or are planning to adopt one soon), please be mindful of which plants may be toxic to your pet. You can have a beautiful array of colorful plants AND a healthy pet by choosing wisely!

As we start heading into warmer months, this is always good to remember.

Dont leave those fur babies in the car!

Please don’t leave your furbabies in the car!

Dogs Usually Wear Colors For A Reason

When most people see a dog, they tend to pay more attention to the pooch itself than a collar or other accessory on the pup, but it turns out that sometimes what a dog is wearing is incredible important - especially if it is red.

A red collar, bandana or even a red leash could be a pet owner's way of warning anyone around them. So what does it mean? Well most people understand red to signify "stop," and that's what it means with dogs too. Veterinarian Dr. Brian Evans told Reader's Digest, "Red is the signal that this pet is aggressive and needs space from both people and other animals. These are pets that have been known to snap or bite at passersby, attack other dogs, or lunge at people. These pets may be perfectly fine at home with their owner but become overly protective of them when they are out."

This might come as a surprise to many people, even to dog owners, but using colors on pups as a way to communicate to others has been going on for some time in professional settings. The National Association of Canine Scent Work is a big fan of it, with one animal behavior consultant explaining, "The red bandana simply warns others to give the dog distance, yet allows the person and dog to participate in relative safety."

So what do you do if you see a dog in red? Well it doesn't always mean to stay away, but regardless of what color a pooch has on, you should always ask the owner permission to pet their dog.

There are other colors to be aware of too. Yellow means that pets can be nervous and, because of that, unpredictable. Like a traffic light, it means that you should slow down and be cautious around them, but there is no need to outright stop. Also like a traffic light, green means that the dog is approachable, but you should still ask for permission from their owner. Orange signifies that a dog doesn't interact well with other animals, and blue typically means that the pooch is a working dog, service animal or in training and shouldn't be touched for those reasons

🌈Such a sad week here at camp. We have lost three beloved members of our family. It is with a heavy heart this week we say goodbye to Lady, Dexter, and Chompsky. 💔
