Is your pet a fan of pumpkin and cream cheese? Try out this treat recipe!

Pumpkin Cheese Cup Recipe
Ingredients:

For the Cups:

● 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

● 1/2 cup whole rolled oats

● 1 egg, slightly beaten

● 1 cup water

● 1/2 cup all-natural crunchy peanut butter

For the Filling:

● 1/2 cup puréed pumpkin

● 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

Directions:

For the Cups:

● Preheat oven to 350°F.

● Combine wheat flour and oats in a large bowl. Add egg, water and peanut butter and mix well.

● On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness.

● Cut out 24 2-inch circles. Use remaining dough to cut out 24 small garnish cookies (Here’s an idea: Cut the cookies into your dog’s favorite shapes.)

● Spray a mini-muffin pan with oil and lightly dust with flour. Lay circles in the mini-muffin cups and press.

● Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool enough to handle, remove from pan, then let cool completely.

● Store in sealed container until ready to fill with cheese mixture.

For the Filling:

● With a hand mixer, mix pumpkin and cream cheese together until well blended.

● Place cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag with a large-tip opening; you can also use a plastic sandwich bag—snip corner of sandwich baggie to create a 1/2-inch opening.

● Gently squeeze filling into cookie cups. Garnish with a small cookie.

Cold weather walking safety tips!

Gear up for the chill for safe winter dog walks

While some dogs can stay warm sporting only their natural fur coats, others, such as small breeds, senior pets, and those with short haircoats, may need an extra layer to keep the chill at bay.

Time it right for safe winter dog walks

Walk your pup during the sunniest parts of the day and take advantage of the warming solar rays and better visibility.

Mind those paws for safe winter dog walks

After a winter walk, wipe their feet with a warm, damp cloth to remove ice and salt. Another helpful tip for safe winter dog walks—trim your pet’s nails regularly, because long nails can make walking on slippery surfaces difficult.

Know your pup’s limits for safe winter dog walks

While your dog gallivants in winter conditions, monitor them closely for signs they are getting too cold, such as shivering, lifting their paws, whining, and decreased energy. Take them inside to a warm, dry spot as soon as possible. Dry any wet fur, wrap them in a warm towel or blanket, and then contact your veterinarian for further advice.

Did you know??

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, having a furry friend, such as a cat or dog, in late adulthood may have a positive influence on cognitive functioning and reducing cognitive decline. An examination of 18 years’ worth of data representing over 16,500 people aged 50 and over, around 40% of whom had pets, found that:

-dog owners showed a slower decline in memory.

-cat owners showed a slower decline in verbal fluency.

When you add these benefits to the previously studied mental and physical health benefits of having a pet (like stress reduction, improved heart health, and more), there’s little room to argue against the fact that our feline and canine companions are more than earning their daily kibble.

When the winter chill sets in, you can keep your pet active by dashing through the snow or staying cozy on the couch. Try these ideas:

Indoor fetch — When the weather outside is too frightful for play, clear a hallway for indoor games, such as fetch.

Get vertical — Create safe climbing spaces for your cat by clearing the top of your refrigerator or high shelves. You can also install floating shelves around your home, so your feline friend can survey their domain from an elevated spot.

Short but sweet — If you have a pet who is cold-sensitive, such as a small or shorthaired pet or an older furry pal, take short walks and keep them moving to help prevent overexposure to the cold.

Happy National Cat Lovers Month!

According to the American Humane Society, National Cat Lover’s Month is an opportunity to honor the beauty, smarts and sass of our feline friends. Evidence suggests that cats were domesticated more than 9,500 years ago, and according to the American Veterinary Medical Foundation, 25 percent of households are home to a cat. Cats are one of the most popular pets for many reasons – not only are they quiet, independent and usually require less maintenance than other pets, but they are also great companions. Cats can sense when you need comfort and are proven to reduce anxiety and stress levels. People form deep, intimate bonds with these sleek creatures who provide a lifetime of love and affection.

Tragically, cat overpopulation remains an issue, and more than three million cats enter U.S. animal shelters each year. Cats also have higher euthanasia rates than dogs, and approximately 850,000 cats are euthanized each year because they can’t find their forever homes.

If you already have a cat, use this month to give yourself the gift of time with your cat companion. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be hard to carve out time to spend with those you love, so take some extra precious moments with your special furry friend.

Keeping pets away from toxins in the fall:

The use of rat and mouse poisons increases during the fall as temperatures dip and rodents seek a more comfortable environment by moving inside your home. Rodenticides are highly toxic to pets. If your dog or cat eats these toxins, poisoning symptoms can start quickly and the result could be deadly. Try pet-safe options, work with a professional, or keep pets away from areas where rodenticides are used or stored.

It’s a good idea to keep all lawn and garden products, as well as yard and compost waste, in secure containers away from your pet’s reach. Be mindful of toxic plants both indoors and outdoors. Mushrooms — which thrive in wet fall weather — and dead leaves can be very harmful if eaten.

If you believe your pet has ingested a poisonous plant, mushroom, or toxic product, contact an emergency vet ASAP. You can also call the Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661 or ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline at (888) 426-4435 for 24/7 support.

Help prevent allergy issues for your pet by identifying fall allergy triggers and bringing your pet in for treatment if you notice any symptoms.

Parasites like fleas and ticks are still a concern, even after summer is gone. Walking through fallen leaves or playing in piles of raked leaves is one way your pet can pick up ticks. Continue to be diligent about parasite prevention and tick repellent for your furry friend, and check your pet for ticks after spending time outdoors.

Banana Dog Treats Recipe
Ingredients:

● 2–3 bananas

● 3 ½ c. oats

● 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

● Preheat oven to 350ºF

Directions:

● Start by preparing your main ingredients. First, mash your bananas in a large mixing bowl. Also, grind up your cup of oats in a food processor until they become a powder-like consistency.

● Add the oats into the mixing bowl along with ground cinnamon, and even a hint of water or honey if the mixture becomes too dry. Try to avoid having the dough become too sticky or too wet.

● Lastly, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness, and use a dog bone cookie cutter to cut out shapes, and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake them for about 15 minutes.
