Brachycephalic dogs, which have short, flat noses and elongated skulls (like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus), are at risk of heat-related issues because their anatomy makes it harder for them to cool down. They have less efficient respiratory systems and struggle with effective panting, which is their primary method of heat dissipation. In hot weather, they are more susceptible to overheating, heatstroke, and respiratory distress. To keep them safe, it's best to avoid walks during hot weather and ensure they stay cool with plenty of water and shade.

Feeding bread causes permanent damage to ducks and geese. They develop angel wing. They can not migrate or fly to avoid predators. PLEASE DO NOT FEED BREAD to ducks and geese. Cracked corn, corn, peas, mealworms, romaine lettuce, watermelon, grapes CUT into pieces, cantaloupe……are a few good options!

I just received word that one of my long time client cats, Partly Cloudy, has recently shed this mortal coil. He was a handsome, and very mouthy, ginger boy. He joins his sister, Son Of A Preacher Man, on the far side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Rest in peace, Partly. We all miss you.

Trimming black or thick claws on cats and dogs requires a bit of caution and attention to detail since you can't see the quick (the blood vessel inside the nail) as easily as in lighter-colored claws.
I prefer to stop at the green tick in the diagram and dremel a little further, but definately do not head to the yellow or red tick if you are a beginner 🤗

Here are some tips and tricks for trimming your own pets claws:

Use Proper Lighting: Ensure you have good lighting when trimming. A bright light source ie: a torch can help you see the quick through the nail if it's translucent.

Take Small Steps: Trim small bits of the nail at a time to reduce the risk of cutting the quick. This is especially important with black claws where the quick is not easily visible.

Look for Visual Cues: Some black claws may have a lighter or translucent tip if you look underneath the claw, where you can see the quick.

Be Prepared: Have styptic powder or cornflour on hand in case you accidentally cut the quick. Dabbing the powder on to the tip of the claw will help stop any bleeding quickly.

Have Patience: If your pet is anxious or resistant, take breaks and reward them for good behaviour. It may take a few sessions to trim all nails comfortably. You don't have to trim them all at once!

Seek Professional Help: If you're unsure or uncomfortable trimming your pet's nails, consider having a professional groomer or veterinarian demonstrate the process.

Practice Regularly: Regular trimming helps keep the quick shorter and encourages the quick to recede, making future trims easier.

By following these tips and being cautious, you can safely trim black claws in cats and dogs without causing discomfort or injury.

Apparently, snacks are for taunting your brother and not for eating. I gave both Walter the Aussie and Cal the black lab milk bones ten minutes ago as I type this. Cal ate his immediately; Walter has been parading around with his still in his mouth. And it’s driving Cal nuts. Cal is pacing about the yard, and Walter chases him with his milk bone still in his mouth.
