ALL DOG OWNERS: Beware of Benadryl!!
Please read and share!
A fellow groomer’s experience

For three days I’ve been trying to figure out what went wrong with my dog and why she reacted to the Benadryl the way she did.. with the help of Dr. Brown from Fedore Vet Clinic we realized the liquid gelcaps Benadryl that I gave her had ingredients that are toxic to dogs.
You’ve all heard that people say artificial sweeteners are bad and are fatal for them, well the Benadryl allergy liquid gelcaps have this in them....
Please share so other owners are aware that the Benadryl allergy liquid gelcaps cannot be given to dogs!!!
Please share.
Xylitol
A Common Artificial Sweetener Is Poisoning Dogs. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in everything from toothpaste to peanut butter to sugar-free gum. And, it turns out, it's poison for dogs. The FDA just dropped a new warning that, while it's just fine for people, the sweetener has proven fatal for dogs
Found in gum, peanut butter, jams, pop AND Benadryl Gel Caps!!
It's killing dogs but there is no warnings on labels.
It's up to the dog community to spread the wo

Many people think shaving their dogs will help keep them cool through the hot summer months. However this is a huge mistake for most dogs, and shaving a double coated dog like a golden retriever actually interferes with the dog’s cooling process.

Shaving their fur can cause the dog to overheat, making them susceptible to heat stroke and has no real impact on cooling the dog down, in fact it can actually increase a dog’s body temperature and expose them to damage from the sun’s radiation. Double coated dogs have a soft, inner coat of hair close to the skin that serves as an insulating layer, by allowing more or less air to be trapped between the surface of the skin and the outer surface of the coat, it helps to keep them cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.

Dogs will naturally shed a lot of the under layer and what remains will help capture air between the two coat layers, allowing the dog to regulate body temperature. When a dog’s core temperature is heated, blood vessel expansion helps bring the blood closer to the surface of the skin, which then releases heat into the air space. The outer coat, or guard hair, remains to protect the dog from sunburn, insect bites and decreases skin cancer risk.

Think Brush, Thin, Trim. Your dog will naturally shed a portion of their undercoat so help remove the hair through regular brushing to eliminate the dead hair, prevent matting and allow for better air circulation in his coat. Make sure to get past the guard hairs with a good deshedder brush. Keep dog’s legs and stomach trimmed of very long hair to enhance cooling. Dogs also release heat through the sweat glands in their paws. Keep the paws trimmed of excess fur in order to help the heat evaporate and aid in keeping the dog cool.

When the temperatures increase this summer:
● Make sure there is access to plentiful water and shade. Dogs rely on panting as
their primary temperature regulator and therefore lose body fluid through
respiration.
● Always check the temperature of the concrete before going on walks
● Exercise in the coolest parts of the day.
● Never leave a dog unattended in a vehicle in the summer, even for just a few
minutes.
