Some dogs bark excessively because they're anxious or fearful. In these cases, it's important to address the underlying issue to help prevent the barking. Consider working with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist to help identify the source of your dog's anxiety or fear. They can help you develop a training plan that will address the problem and reduce your dog's barking.

🐭🐾 Pet owners, be aware of the dangers of rodenticides!

🚫 These products are highly toxic to domestic animals and can cause internal bleeding in cats and dogs if ingested. Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, but they can also harm pets.

👀 Look out for symptoms such as lethargy and pale gums and contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison.

💊 This situation is highly treatable if caught early, so be proactive to protect your furry friends.🙏

Did you know that dogs communicate primarily through body posture and facial expression? It's important to observe their entire body, not just one isolated part, to interpret their non-verbal messages accurately. Consider the context, including their environment and recent events, before drawing any conclusions.

🦟 Ticks are more resilient than we think, and they can emerge from hiding any time the temperature climbs above freezing—even in winter! Pets are at an ever-increasing risk for Lyme disease.

Because only a single tick bite can transmit Lyme disease, we recommend continuous parasite prevention for year-round protection and peace of mind. Learn how to protect your pet and yourself from this debilitating condition by contacting us at (303) 985-7112.

Stay informed, stay safe, and keep your pet healthy! 🐾

🐾 Is your pet at a healthy weight? The body condition score chart is a more accurate tool than just looking at the number on the scale. Keep these points in mind when evaluating your pet's body condition:

😽🐶 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.

😽🐶 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.

😽🐶 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.

😽🐶 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.

😽🐶 On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Consult with our team to ensure your pet is at a healthy weight.

Teaching your dog to bark on command might seem like the opposite of what you want, but it can be a helpful step in training them to be quiet.

Let it out — First, find a stimulus that makes your dog bark naturally. It could be a knock on the door, a doorbell sound, or someone saying “Speak.” When your dog barks, reward them with praise and a treat.

Hold it in — Next, wait for a pause in the barking, say “Quiet” or another cue you choose, and offer a treat when your dog stops barking. Gradually increase the amount of time between barks before you give the “Quiet” cue.

Put it all together — Finally, practice the “Speak” and “Quiet” cues together until your dog can bark and then stop on command. This will give you more control over your dog’s barking and help them understand when it’s appropriate to bark and when they should be quiet.

🐶🦷🍪

Did you know that dental treats for dogs are a great way to improve your pup’s oral health? Here are some reasons why:

1️⃣ Dental treats are made specifically to remove plaque buildup and clean your dog’s mouth.

2️⃣ They often contain ingredients that freshen breath and help maintain your pet's oral hygiene.

3️⃣ Dental treats come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, making it easy to find one your furry friend loves.

4️⃣ They are generally much more appreciated by our dogs than traditional toothbrushes or wipes.

Make sure to choose dental treats that are appropriate for your dog's size and needs. As always, talk to your vet about what dental care routine is best for your furry friend. Happy chewing! 🐾🦷

When interpreting your dog’s body language, it’s important to pay attention to subtle cues as well as overt signals. For instance, a slight shift in weight or a barely visible change in ear position can be important indicators of your dog’s emotional state. Learning to recognize these smaller cues can help you better understand your dog’s needs and desires.

Does your pup ever seem like they're not quite getting what you're saying? 🤔

Communication with dogs is more than just words! Try using your body language to speak to your furry friend. Approach them with your body angled away and avoid reaching out. Instead, let them come to you when they're ready, and keep your body relaxed and calm. These calming signals will show your pup that you're listening and help them feel safe and understood. 🐶🐾

Is your dog getting enough physical exercise? Just like people, dogs need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. If your dog is barking excessively, it may be a sign that they need more physical activity. Try increasing your daily walks or hikes, or take up jogging or biking with your furry friend. A tired dog is a contented dog, and a contented dog is less likely to bark.
