When it comes to ticks and tickborne pathogens, who are the 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 and who are the 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬? 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 #𝟏 is the white-footed mouse. 🐭 This common mouse host multiple larvae and nymph ticks throughout the summer months. Through this process, ticks can transmit pathogens to other feeding ticks and also infect the mice which can then infect more ticks. The white-footed mouse is very successful in this process! Continue to follow us as we share ways to help reduce ticks from feeding on mice in your backyard! 🚫

Structure is critical to having a well balanced dog. One small task can be having set meal times for your dogs. Stop the free feeding.

🔴It leads to obesity

🔴if your dog is not eating you may not notice for a few days.

🟢dogs are hunters make them work for their food. Use meal times to train. The food should come from you.

🟢 it is a great way to build a bond with your dog.

If your dog does not finish their meal in 30 minuted pull their food and give it at the next meal.

Stop making excuses for your dogs unwanted behavior.
The ones we hear most often:

He/she is a rescue..thats great but correct your dog.

He/she is a big dog…wonderful, now correct your dog.

He/she is a little dog…and? Correct your dog.

Learn from each and every dog you handle. 🙌🏽

Dogs can be like kids in knowing which “parent” to go to in order to get away with things. When all members of the family are all on the same page and each correct accordingly, the issues diminish.

Relief efforts are in the works and these people are struggling. Its not a good situation for both people and animals! Please help!! We will be collecting items in the salon this week to take down asap!! Items do not need to be new!

Yes, you can correct your dog! No it does not mean you need to abuse your dog. The more boundaries and structure you apply, will show a result in fewer behavioral issues. Be consistent, have short sessions, and have fun!

Hand and verbal cues:

Hand signals are great, but work with your dog on verbal cues before starting with hand signals.
Think about this: what happens if a dog has their back towards you? Such as running towards the road, chasing a squirrel etc. The dog will not see your hands, but with consistency on leash with verbal cues the dog should respond to you when they are not facing you.
Once the dog has a solid and consistent foundation with verbal cues, then you can introduce hand signals.

Adopting a senior pet can be so rewarding! ❤️

Older pets tend to have a calmer temperament

With the teething days behind them, and having grown out of old habits, senior pets are more likely to be easygoing. Many older pets still have lots of energy, only theirs are less overwhelming and destructive.

But there is another way we can bring senior pets into our lives: fostering. This is a wonderful option that removes the financial burden and still gives an aging pet a place to call home, even if it’s temporary. When rescue organizations “pull” an animal from a municipal shelter, it means they’ve agreed to cover the cost of any medical treatment necessary. Then, they endeavor to find foster families to shelter and feed the animals. Fosters play an integral role in extending and saving senior animals’ lives—and if the foster decides they’d like to adopt (lovingly referred to as a “foster fail”), even better.

🌞Whew! It's gonna be hotter than ever this week, please watch out for your critters. Keep everyone inside during the hottest hours of the day, limit walks to early morning or late evening. Place some extra water dishes outside for community cats.

Worried about skipping a walk for that energetic pup? Try indoor enrichment such as snuffle mats, frozen kongs or training a new trick! Exercising those brains can tire them out too!

If your pet is showing any of the signs below, get them to an emergency vet immediately. We've seen cases of heat stroke on days as low as 70°! This heat is no joke and your pet relies on you for their well being 🐱🐶
