One of the hardest things about owning dogs is seeing them get old and lose interest in things that used to be so enthusiastic about like mealtime. I think it happens for a lot of reasons, they’re less active, their teeth hurt and I also think eating the same thing for their whole life gets quite boring. My dog is at that age, he’s 14. I’ve always fed him a good dog food but lately he just hasn’t had an appetite for it. For the moment he is eating with great enthusiasm this home made concoction I have come up with so I thought I would share.
1 cup rice
2cups water
2 cups green beans
2 large chopped carrots
2cans skip jack tuna
1 carton Caru stew
1/2 cup Dr. Harvey’s mix
And sometimes I mix cottage cheese into the mix.
Always make sure that the dog isn’t having a medical problem first, but you could always try this too. There are so many things you could put in there, peas, brussel sprouts all kinds of vegetables are good for dogs. I just wanted to share🐶

It’s our annual Christmas dinner /party at Bob Taylor’s Ranch House. I love this time of year. It’s a golden opportunity to let these wonderful people know how much I appreciate each and every one of them. They work hard every day, they are so good and kind to the dogs that come in for grooming, and they try so hard to do things the way that I have taught them. What a great crew! They make Dogs by Cindy a success ❤️

All it takes is patience and lots of praise. You can start out by using one of the toothpastes that are flavored, they have beef, chicken peanut butter etc. start out slow, even if you just get a couple of seconds in, praise the dog like they really just did the best thing ever! They will look forward to their now daily routine in short order! I hope this was helpful.

We se a lot of our older dogs with dental disease. It makes their mouth hurt and can cause medical problems as well. Another thing to consider on the seniors is whether or not the trip to the vet for a dental is worth the anesthesia risk although the veterinarians always do an extensive blood test to know if your dog should or should not have this done.
I have found that it’s very easy to prevent this and it only takes a couple of minutes a day. I use an Oral-B electric toothbrush on my dog after he eats and at age 13 his teeth are doing great. He’s not a natural either, twice they’ve been so bad that I had to have Dr. Wacene clean them for me but now we stay on top of it. I will share a short video of how to do it.

Last weekend home owners found a 5-6 week old female eastern grey squirrel in their yard, crying and walking up to them, dehydrated and malnourished. They brought her in. It was apparent something had happened to mom and after a day or two she had braved her way down to seek help. They were told to please watch and listen for siblings and to call if they found any. The following day another call came, her brother had showed up mid day, very dehydrated and covered in fleas.

Here they are a couple days later, cleaned up, rehydrated, full bellies, and back together.

This is why when you can’t reunite with mom you always make every effort to find them all, and this is why you never separate siblings ❤️
