Did you think about safety this morning as you walked your dog to the bus stop with the kids?

Was this a first time for a dog that's new to your family? Is this your first year going to school or riding the bus? A new neighborhood? Lots of sounds, lots of movement, new kids who may not have good skills with dogs?

Keep an eye on your dog at all times and be sure he's ready for this new type of inclusion in your family life!

Parents without dogs -- you need to teach your children about interacting with dogs too. What do you do if the dog is not leashed?

Dana Brigman; The Well Oiled K9 and The K9 Coach Carolinas is available for neighborhood meetings to talk about pet safety around children and bite prevention. Just call us to schedule

Be safe and have a great school year!

Welcome to summer!

Welcome to the Season of Fire (TCVM)

As the summer solstice graces us with the longest day of the year, it's the perfect time to celebrate the Season of Fire in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). This vibrant season is all about warmth, energy, and the heart. Here's how you can harness the power of Fire to enhance your dog's well-being:

Energy Boost: Just like the sun, our dogs thrive on energy during this season. Ensure they get plenty of outdoor exercise to keep their spirits high and their bodies strong.

Heart Health: Fire is connected to the heart in TCVM. Incorporate heart-healthy foods like lean meats, fish, and leafy greens into your dog's diet to support cardiovascular health.

Hydration: The heat can be intense, so keep your furry friend well-hydrated. Fresh, clean water is a must, and you can also offer cooling treats like frozen bone broth or cucumber slices.

Emotional Balance: The Fire element also governs joy and emotional well-being. Spend quality time with your dog, engaging in activities they love to keep their heart and soul happy.

Cooling Herbs: Balance the heat with cooling herbs like mint, chamomile, and dandelion. These can help prevent overheating and maintain your dog's equilibrium.

This is why training a structured heel and “go through” command is so important (elevators ans automatic doors)

And why you put down the dang phone and stop recording when your dog needs help.

Good info! Join me in continuing to keep your pet as health as possible!

Many of you have these dates set as a reminder on your calendar for the dreaded Flea and Tick products AND your HW prevention.

Couple of things you need to know.

You don't need Flea and Tick products -- especially those combo products. Please take a few minutes and read https://welloiledk9.com/health/fleas-and-ticks -- it will also take you to some ideas on how to fight fleas and ticks naturally.

But a couple of notes if you continue to use them.
❌ Don't pair them with any other products. That is to say: do not dose F/T meds on the same day with your HW meds. Do Not use the combo products -- it's too much toxin going in at one time!

❌ Don't use them if your pet has any side effects -- lethargy, diarrhea, loss of appetite/vomiting, rashes, and irritation are all side effects and have the possibility of intensifying with each dose.

❌ Perhaps you see this as a scare tactic -- but do your own research. We see dogs everyday with severe reactions to these medications. Allergies, Behavior Changes, Auto-Immune, Seizures, and even death following the most recent dose.

✅ Give your dog a dose of Milk Thistle following your F/T medications for at least 2-3 days up to 7 -- increase the amount if your dog is on an ongoing maintenance dose.

✅ Separate your F/T and HW meds by 2 weeks.

✅Try the alternative scheduling for your heartworm meds. Details are available in a downloadable protocol on my website. It's easy. My schedule with my dogs is every 8 weeks. Many of my clients are more comfortable with 6 weeks as they get started

✅ Even better -- go natural. I will teach you how to do this with confidence.
✅ Fresh Food Diets help deter fleas and ticks naturally. A little added garlic help deter them! Yes, Your dog can have garlic. Doses are on my website!

✅ Rosemary and geraniums in the garden help as well! You can add Diatomaceous Earth to your shrubs and grasses, and spray the yard with cedarwood oil.

✅If you feel you must use something on the dog -- try essential oils! It's easy to make a spray you both can use for an affordable price.

I have all of these things documented on my website, products on my amazon store, etc. Please start there with your research -- and give it a try. Be brave! It works.

Check it out!

Because dogs often have cat friends at home.

Many of my certification programs -- Nutrition, Raindrop, Aromatherapy, Homeopathy, Reiki, Animal Communications, CBD, etc include care for cats.

As I have never had a cat (allergic), they just are not my area of expertise. But I can guide my clients with feline furries at home on the use of many remedies for their cat as well.
