Happy Tuesday! 🐾
We’ve done a lot of topics that discuss dogs, so this Tuesday we are discussing cats!

Has anyone wondered what that saggy, soft flap of skin under a cat’s belly is?
It’s their Primordial Pouch and all cats have it, even Lions and Tigers. The pouch runs the length of a cat’s underside and it’s a mix of skin, fat, and fur. All cats are born with one and it develops around 6 months to a year. Some believe that only spayed or neutered cats have these pouches but that’s simply a myth. Many believe that the Primordial Pouch gives a cat a couple advantages.
Protection- the fatty cushion provides protection to a cat’s internal abdominal organs from fights or injuries.
Flexibility- it helps the cat cover more ground with each stride such as escaping predators or chasing prey. It helps the cat extend their bodies allowing to leap, wiggle, and twist without injury.
Energy- some believe that the pouch acts as a fat reserve used for energy when meals are unavailable, or provide more room when a cat over eats.
Even some believe it helps regulate a cat’s body temperature.
The size of the Primordial Pouch can vary with breed, a healthy lean cat can still have a large pouch. Such as a Bengal cat, it’s often a breed standard to have a larger Primordial pouch. Age can play a role in the size as well. Just like humans, cats tend to lose muscle mass and skin elasticity as they age. This excess skin can often be similar to the excess skin on their necks or what some call the scruff (which is what mother’s use to transport kittens at a young age).
Some may think that because their cat has a bigger pouch it must mean they are overweight. That is the exact opposite, a thinner cat’s pouch may appear more prominent than an overweight cat’s pouch. There are some characteristics to identify your cat’s Primordial Pouch.
- [ ] Swings when walking
- [ ] Feels loose and floppy
- [ ] Visible waist indentation when viewed from afar
The stomach of an overweight cat will be firmer and be round in shape. If you do have concern for your cat’s weight, you can always contact your vet to learn a way to get your cat to lose weight. But just know a loose, floppy pouch that swings as your cat walks doesn’t always mean you have an overweight or unhealthy cat.

🐾We’ve been busy! Therefore with all the craziness out of the way, here is Talk About It Tuesday: Dog Socialization! 🐾

Some people think puppy socialization only means introducing your dog to other dogs, but it actually means a lot more than that.
Introducing your puppy to new people, experiences, and places will be a lifelong process, but it’s best to start young.
Expose your puppy to just about anything and everything such as:
•People of different races, genders, and ages
•People with or without disabilities
•Different animal species ( Cats, Chickens, or other household animals)
•New places, sounds, and smells
Now it can be a lot for a young puppy to handle, but your dog’s brain is actually capable of processing and accepting all the experiences between 3-14 weeks old.
3-14 weeks old can be called the puppy socialization period and this is when you should aim to expose your puppy to as many different positive experiences as possible.
A strong key word is positive. Avoid any frightening experiences, because this can make such a negative impact on your dog. Puppy’s minds are very impressionable so an encounter with an aggressive dog or negative vet appointment can leave the pup with a fear of other dogs or people. Do not hesitate to remove them from the situation in which they could appear afraid or anxious. Take your pup approaching new things with curiosity more than fear.
Puppies or even dogs who miss out on these experiences tend to be more anxious, after 14 weeks their brain becomes more inflexible when it comes to how they understand things. As dogs get older they become more wary of new things.
Some dogs can be born more timid and fearful, but if you expose them to new things, they are less likely to freak out. The main goal is to make sure your dog stays comfortable in new situations or experiences, such as walks, car rides, extracurricular games, friends’ homes.
Some may ask, what’s the best way to socialize a puppy?
It’s best to work through steps, again the goal is to create positive experiences.
- [ ] Your attitude can affect how your pup sees certain experiences(smile, give treats, offer praise) these can help your pup see the positive in a situation
- [ ] Puppy proof- puppy proofing your home and letting your pup sniff and explore leads to more positive interactions with mail-carriers or passing by bikers
- [ ] Get them used to touch- such as touching paws/belly, mouth(teeth), petting in different spots and or sitting positions. This helps teach your pup that your touches are kind and loving no matter how it’s approached. This can also help vet and grooming experiences.
- [ ] Make sure to not overwhelm your pup. Keep each experience about 10-15 mins long. It’s a common mistake that too much happens too fast too soon.
- [ ] Don’t force your pup, it can be frightening and will achieve the opposite in what you want to achieve
- [ ] Avoid unsafe interactions- unvaccinated pups can pick up something even just walking along the street.
- [ ] Try one-on-one puppy play dates before group settings, this helps puppies learn other dogs’ cues and/or body language.
This crucial stage of development can determine the future behavior of your dog. Training can help a dog channel energy in an appropriate manner helping to reduce unwanted behaviors. Where you get your pup from is important as well. Ask lots of questions if you purchase from a breeder to ensure the puppy has had a proper start to life. The saying “old dogs can’t learn new tricks” is not true. It may take a little more effort, but an older dog can be socialized.

Toxic Household/Common Plants

Lilies are extremely toxic for cats, even a small amount or licking a bit of pollen causes kidney failure/death.
Snake plant or devil’s ivy contain high levels of calcium oxalate crystals which can cause burning to mouth, excessive drooling, and vomiting.
Other toxic houseplants can include Aloe, oleander, hyacinth, chrysanthemum, tulips, daffodils, azaleas, begonia, poinsettias, and spider plants. Most of these can cause burning of the mouth, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, liver damage and/or seizures.
Even though grass is not toxic, when ingested it can cut the intestinal track. This will cause blood in p**p, dogs cannot digest grass therefore they vomit and defecate grass. Cats on the other hand can benefit from eating grass. Some studies have shown that grass can be a natural laxative, and helps break up fur balls in the digestive track. Although eating grass is not harmful, remember if your lawn has been treated with pesticides or other chemicals it then can be harmful.
Always do research on any plant before bringing it into your home, especially if your pet is a chewer. Not only are many plants toxic, certain smells can be toxic as well.
Those who use essential oils be aware that some can be toxic. If exposed to your pet’s fur and they lick it off during grooming, it can cause digestive upset, neurological issues, or other serious concerns. Oils can also irritate your pet’s skin.
If you use essential oils, heavily dilute them to help reduce the impact it can have on your pet. In any case always ask your vet before using certain oils
Harmful to cats:
Ylang Ylang
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon
Lavender
Peppermint
Pine
Citrus
Harmful to dogs:
Tea tree
Juniper
Citrus
Sweet birch
Pine
Ylang Ylang

Some common symptoms of poisoning in pets can be fatigue, difficulty breathing, redness and/or burns on skin, tongue, or gums, and vomiting. While some scents in small quantities may not be harmful for your pets, just remember some can be very harmful.

If your animal has ingested any of these plants or oils or has any symptoms contact your vet immediately.

It’s Talk About It Tuesday!
This week toxic household items and medications for your pet.
Note: Cats are twice as sensitive when it comes to digesting toxic medications, because they lack the enzyme to help digest. All pets metabolize drugs differently and can develop organ failure or GI issues. High concentrations can cause permanent kidney damage, seizures, inability to walk, coma, or death.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen
Cold medications
Herbal supplements
These medications can be dangerous for animals to digest, symptoms can include rapid breathing and/or heart rate, vomiting, seizures, pale gums, excessive salivation, and coughing or vomiting blood. Some toxins can cause instant reactions while others can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours depending on the substance.

Household products such as paint, glue, cleaning products, edible bait products to kill rodents can cause internal bleeding, high calcium levels, brain swelling, and even poison gas production in their stomachs.
When using pesticides, read the label(s) carefully in order to choose a pet safe or non chemical pest control.
Ingesting batteries can cause hyper salivation, oral inflammation, ulcers, and vomiting due to the battery acid exposure.
Anti freeze is very toxic, 2 1/2 tablespoons can kill a medium sized dog in 2-3 days.
Bread dough may seem harmless but will rapidly rise and produce ethanol gas in the stomach.
Sugar or the ingredient name Xylitol can cause liver failure and/or hyperglycemia ( High blood sugar).
Chocolate has caffeine in it which is toxic to dogs.
Some other household things both toxic to cats and dogs can include:
Fabric softener sheets
Limescale remover
De-icing salts
Bleach
To***co products
Compost
Moth balls
Garlic
Grapes/raisins
Avocados
and even tea leaves
A lot of these can show similar symptoms when digested. Vomiting, diarrhea, loss of consciousness, kidney or liver damage, seizures, and excessive drooling.
If you suspect your pet has ingested anything toxic contact your vet immediately, just like we have a poison helpline they have animals helplines as well.

For a dog or cat, an emergency vet visit can cost anywhere from $250.00-$10,000, if hospitalized it may be more. To help prevent your animal getting into these toxic items you can store in a high place, put child locks on cabinet doors, and most importantly research any item you suspect could be toxic to your furry friend.
Next week we will keep the topic of toxic things, and talk about toxic household/ common plants.

ASPCA Animal Poison Control Helpline- 888-426-4435
If you have any concerns on what can be toxic to your pet, you can consult with your vet along with any pest control companies to make sure their pesticides are animal safe.

It’s Talk About It Tuesday!
Did you know there are 3 main paw pad shapes?
There is webbed, hare, and cat.
Webbed paws are connected (like a duck foot) and are normally found in hunting, retrieving, and swimming dogs. Some breeds include Portuguese Waterdog to even a Dachshund.
Hare paws have two longer central toes, this helps with explosive speed. Some breeds include Greyhounds to Samoyeds.
Cat paws are small and round in shape, this helps with balance and agility. Some breeds include Akita to a Doberman.

Have you ever wondered why your dog’s feet smell of corn chips?
It’s a byproduct of yeast and bacteria that your pups wet paws can grow. Wet paws are the best environment for fungal growth. The smell is very common and can even happen to clean paws. Licking of paws is completely normal, but excessive licking can cause fungal growth and can also be a sign of allergies or an injury.
Your dog’s paw pad is unique. Like our fingerprints dog’s paw pads can also be a way to identify your dog.
Paw pads contain sweat glands to help regulate their body temp and have a high concentration of sensory receptors, hence why your dog might be sensitive to pressure, touch, and/or temperature changes. Like us, dogs can be ticklish as well!

Your dog’s pads toughen up as they use them, that’s why a puppy or handicapped dogs can have softer pads. Have you ever noticed the pad above your dog’s paw pads that sits higher up on the leg? It’s called a Carpal pad and it provided traction and stability during movement, it’s kinda like a dog’s big toe.
What type of paw does your pup have?

If you’d like to read more about dog paws and their shape, here is an article! -

Flea and Tick season is upon us as well. Another dreaded thing every owner despises. They can cause illnesses for your household pets and let’s be honest a pain to get rid of.
Fleas transmit diseases such as tapeworms, allergy dermatitis, and even cat scratch fever. They are excellent jumpers, they can jump vertically up to 7 inches and horizontally 13 inches. Adult fleas cannot survive or lay eggs without a blood meal but can live from 2 months to a year without feeding. Flea larvae can infest pet bedding and are more commonly found in these areas . Fleas can lay 20-40 eggs per day for several weeks and prefer warmer temperatures.
A common disease given to dogs by fleas can be anemia and allergy dermatitis. Symptoms can be weakness, fatigue, loss of pink colored gums, hives, hot spots, excessive itching. If you notice any of these symptoms please contact a vet as soon as possible, especially color loss of pink gums. Your pup could be losing too much blood from the flea infestation.
Ticks transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, theileroosis, and anaplasmosis. Although they can’t jump, ticks are good climbers. They spend most of their time off their hosts but can live from a few weeks to 3 years. They can lay thousands of eggs at a time and can survive near freezing temps.
A common disease given to dogs from ticks are Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. Symptoms can be joint swelling, fatigue, loss of appetite, lethargy, and fever. If you notice your pet has any of these, please contact your vet immediately.

Flea and tick treatments will always help prevent these parasites. Consult your vet for advice about a proper product for your dog/cat. Always wash bedding and vacuum daily if you notice fleas on your animal. Vacuuming daily will help reduce larvae population in high traffic areas. Steam cleaning can kill eggs and larval. Bathe pets with a flea shampoo and use a flea comb to comb out any fleas/eggs on your pet.
For ticks keep lawns mowed and edges trimmed, clear away any brush or tall grass. To safely remove a tick use a pointed set of tweezers to grasp the tick by the head. Do not jerk or twist the tick, pull firmly outward. Once tick is removed put in a small container of rubbing alcohol to kill it. Monitor the site for roughly 30 days and if you notice any symptoms stated above bring your pet to the vet. If you do not feel comfortable removing the tick on your own you can contact your vet or local groomer to remove them for you.
If you do any home remedies to prevent fleas and ticks please research if any of the items you use are toxic to your dog or cat.
Happy Wednesday!🐾

It’s Talk About It Tuesday!🐾
It is that season, when the black and white kitties make your pup victim of their horrible smelling spray.
Warning: your dog will still smell of skunk whenever they get wet. Until those skin cells die and fall off, you will be victim to the smell.
Once their coat dries it will be harder to get the smell out, the smell can linger for about 3 weeks or longer depending on how soon you realize your pup had a skunk encounter
The first thing you should check when noticing your pup has been sprayed is Skunk Spray Toxicosis: this could be respiratory issues, temporary blindness, nausea, drooling, vomiting, red irritated eyes, foaming out of the mouth, and in rare cases anemia. If your dog experiences any of these please seek Veterinary care as soon as possible. As some may think, tomato juice actually does not make the smell go away. Try and keep the pup outside so the smell doesn’t get carried into your house.
The secretions from the skunk’s a**l glands contains a mixture of sulfur containing thiols and thioacetates. Thiols are responsible for the odor just like in onions and garlic. Thioacetates turn into thiols when wet. That’s why when your pup gets wet you smell skunk even after a bath.
Always wear gloves when using anything to de skunk your dog. You can mix 3-4 parts 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 part baking soda with a teaspoon or so of dish detergent. Apply the mixture to the dog while it’s still bubbling. Hydrogen peroxide can lighten darker coats to a bronze color.
If you have exhausted all ideas contact a groomer as soon as possible and they may have a stronger shampoo/mixture to use on the dog. Reminder you will still smell skunk anytime the dog gets wet, the smell can stay for weeks or months.

Happy Thursday! 🐾
Now that Spring Break craziness is over, here is part 2 of our last Talk About It Tuesday! If you have any questions on the information given, feel free to comment below!

Once you find out what kind of coat your dog has, it will make it easier to find the right tools to maintain it at home between grooming.

Double Coats
A dog’s undercoat provides insulation in cold weather but it also traps cool air close to the skin during the hotter months. So even though your dog seems hot during the summer, their undercoat is actually keeping them cool. The top coat helps to keep water/snow/dirt off your dog. Hence why when they go outside in the winter the snow just falls right off of them. The only time a double coat dog will be shaved is for a surgery, they have severe matting, or medically for skin allergies and such. Even if you prefer shaving your dog because of all the hair, it will still shed-just shorter and their coat may not grow back the same.
Your dog should be brushed daily to prevent matting or tangles. A slicker brush, greyhound style comb, or grooming rake are going to be the best tools to keep up with your pup’s hair at home! When brushing always brush legs and stomach areas first, as it’s more common to have a tangles or matting in these areas.

Curly coat and Rough coat dogs will also benefit being brushed daily. A slicker brush or Greyhound style comb will be the best tools to use on these coats as well.
Curly coat dogs should be brushed and then a comb through to check for any tangles. You are going to want to push the hair back and brush in the direction of hair growth. Then to fluff up the hair, back brush ( go against the growth).
Rough coat dogs would benefit from a light mist over tangled ares with detangler and then combed over. Push the hair back and brush/comb in the direction of hair growth. Always brush the stomach and legs first to get any tangles out.

Wire haired and Smooth coat dogs will benefit getting brushed weekly. A comb or Rubber-bristle brush will be the best option for these coats. Using a rubber bristle brush will help distribute skin oils through the hair.
Silky coat dogs will benefit from being brushed twice a week. A slicker brush or comb will help brush out any tangles. A silky coat will also benefit from a light misting of detangler/ conditioner before combing through the hair.

Below we will attach what each brush/comb can look like and a video of line brushing which double coat,rough coat, and curly coat dogs will benefit the most from.

Water worsen mats, so be sure your double coated, curly haired, or rough coat dog is dry before brushing.

Happy Wednesday!🐾
We have been very busy this week, Spring Break is upon us and we’ve been getting our facility ready for incoming Boarding! So we are a little late for Talk About It Tuesday but this topic will be in two parts.
Before we talk about how to maintain your dog’s coat at home, let’s discuss the different coat types.
You have short, medium, and long coats. Double coats and single coats. Curly, silky, rough, wire, smooth, and even hairless. It’s best to understand what kind of coat your dog has before attempting any sort of grooming.

Double vs single coat.
When a dog has a double coat, it initially is like what it sounds. They have their outer coat along with a shorter undercoat. Dogs of any length can have a double coat. Varieties of Collies typically are double coated. Double coated dogs “blow out “ their coat 2 times a year, typically when seasons change (spring and winter) . Double coat dogs need more frequent grooming in order to prevent mats.
Single coated dogs typically have less “insulation” during the winter, and leave less hair around . But this also makes it easier for a single coat dog to suffer from allergies. Also note that being a single coat dog doesn’t mean they are hypoallergenic.

~Curly coated dogs such as poodles just simply means the dog has tight ringlets or pronounced curls.
~Silky coat dogs have a glossy sheen, their hair almost reminds you of shampoo commercials on tv. Silky coats need frequent brushing to prevent the hair from knotting up and keep their shine.
~Rough coat is really just the texture of the hair. Their hair is coarse and feels harsh. Often wire haired dogs can be classified as having a rough coat due to the harshness as well. Wire haired dogs have the wire like texture to their hair. Their hair is stiff and stands away from their bodies. To maintain a wire coat you can hand strip (which is time consuming) or clip the hair (which can soften coat over time).
~Smooth coated dogs is just like it sounds. The dog has short silky hair that lays close to the body. But a smooth coat can also mean a type of shorter hair in breeds such as smooth and rough collies. The hair is still rough and coarse to touch but it’s just a shorter version.
~Hairless dogs. I know crazy to think there are hairless dogs out there. Because of the lack of fur they tend to suffer allergies a lot more than other dogs. These dogs require special skin routines and can require frequent bathing and a moisturizing dog safe lotion.

If you are unsure about your dog’s coat, feel free to comment their breed and we can try and help figure out their coat type!

It’s Talk About It Tuesday!
Thank you all for suggestions!

Today’s topic is dry skin: what to do, how to help, and try to prevent.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND CANNOT SUBSTITUTE VETERINARY CARE. Consult with your veterinarian if your dog’s itchy/ dry skin persists to get a topical/ medicated cream/shampoo or more information on the dogs condition
First off dry skin, Why can it happen? A number of issues but some can be:
•Allergies
•Bacterial or Fungal infections (yeast)
•Fleas and or mites
•Over bathing
•Digestive issues
•Shampoo not being rinsed off properly after a bath

Some dogs are more susceptible than other these can include:
•Boxer
•Alaskan malamute
•Labrador retriever
•Golden retriever
•Poodle
•Staffordshire bull terrier or West Highland White Terrier

You may notice your dog itching/ licking at their paw pads or other body parts more often some seasons or even when trying a new food. This could cause redness, hair loss, lesions, and even bleeding or swelling. It can be due to allergies or a skin disorder
Some home remedies to try and help reduce itching can include:
•Coconut oil (rubbing into coat and or mixing a little with food)
•Oatmeal baths/ oatmeal paste( oatmeal has some anti-inflammatory properties and soaking your dog for 10-15 minutes can help reduce itching)
•Diluted apple cider vinegar spray (50/50 mixture and NEVER use if dog has sores,broken or raw skin)
•Fish oil (can be applied directly to coat or mixed into their food)
•Even using a Hypoallergenic shampoo or Baby shampoo will be a little gentler on their skin
•Cold water ( it doesn’t matter how applied) the effect doesn’t last long, around 30 minutes or less

Again always consult a veterinarian if your dog’s skin still is dry and or itchy, your pup may need a medication shampoo and or topical cream

Eczema is a term used for “inflamed skin”. There are also two types of Eczema ( Dry and Moist).
•Dry Eczema the skin will appear dry and scaly and is commonly a dietary imbalance, hormonal imbalance, or organic imbalance (such as thyroid issues, kidney disorders, or digestive issues)
•Moist Eczema is usually itchy and so,something oily might relieve the itching but the cause for the itching should be found

Antibiotics are used to control skin infections associated with the dog’s constant scratching, itching can lead to damage in the skin and make it easier for bacteria to grow on the skin.
The use of Antihistamines can be useful in some dogs ( Benadryl) get the proper dosage from your vet for your pup. Some dogs can become drowsy and or “excited” with the use of antihistamines if this is the case don’t use or if drowsy use towards bedtime.

It can take up to 3-5 weeks for a difference to show up, try and use products with zinc as Zinc deficiencies can cause dry, crusty patches or worsen a condition that was there prior.
Again this is information, not a medical diagnosis and will not substitute for veterinary care.
