I'm Shannon, and my journey in the world of dogs has spanned over a quarter of a century. With a heart full of devotion and a wealth of experience, I've dedicated my life to nurturing, rescuing, and advocating for our beloved furry companions.

🐾 A Lifelong Canine Journey

For more than 25 years, I've been immersed in the world of dogs, wearing multiple hats that define my love and commitment. Fro

m the breathtaking Siberian Huskies and majestic Alaskan Malamutes I've bred and raised, to the incredible journey of rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need, every pawprint has shaped my understanding of unconditional love.

🌱 Holistic Care as a Way of Life

Over two decades ago, I embarked on a quest to discover holistic approaches to dog care. The wellness of our loyal companions extends beyond the physical realm, and my dedication to studying and implementing holistic practices reflects my unwavering commitment to their overall well-being. Through a harmonious blend of natural remedies, balanced nutrition, and mindful living, I've witnessed dogs not just surviving, but thriving.

🤝 Rescuing Hope, One Dog at a Time

My heart beats for special needs dogs, and rescue has been a significant chapter in my journey. These remarkable souls inspire me every day, teaching me the true meaning of resilience and compassion. Their challenges don't define them; their spirit does. Through love, patience, and holistic care, I've seen miracles unfold.

🏠 From Pet-Sitter to Soul-Healer

For over 13 years, I ran a pet-sitting business dedicated to end-of-life and special needs care. These furry friends became family, and each moment spent was a privilege. I've cradled them through their golden years, offering comfort and companionship, because every dog deserves a life filled with dignity and joy.

Navigating Canine Heart Medications: The Power of Informed Choices 💊🐾

Hello, wonderful dog-loving community! Today, let's dive into a topic close to our hearts—literally—the health of our furry friends' hearts and the crucial role we play in making informed decisions about their medications.

Why Research Matters 🔍
Our dogs, like us, can face cardiac challenges, and understanding their medications is key to providing the best care. Researching canine heart medications empowers us as pet parents to have insightful discussions with our dog's cardiologist. Knowledge is a powerful tool, and when we're armed with it, we can actively participate in shaping the treatment plan for our furry companions.

The Importance of Dialogue with the Cardiologist -
Engaging in open, informed conversations with our dog's cardiologist is akin to co-authoring a personalized health story. Share your research, ask questions, and discuss the available options. A collaborative approach ensures that the chosen medications align with your dog's unique needs and lifestyle. After all, who knows your pup better than you do?

Key Considerations in Canine Heart Medications .....

Understanding the Medication: Dive into the specifics of your dog's prescribed medications. Know the names, dosages, and potential side effects. This knowledge will empower you to recognize and address any changes in your pup's well-being promptly.

Exploring Alternatives: In most cases, there will be multiple medications or treatment approaches available. Researching these options can help you make informed decisions about what might be the best fit for your dog's individual circumstances.

Lifestyle Impact: Consider the daily routine and lifestyle implications of the medications. Are there specific times of the day that work better for you? These factors can influence adherence and overall treatment success.

Sharing Experiences and Wisdom-
We'd love to hear about your experiences, insights, and any tips you might have for fellow pet parents. Your shared wisdom could be a beacon of support for someone going through a similar journey.

Our Collective Journey of Canine Care 🚀🐾
At Dog Ananda, we believe in the strength of our community. Together, let's continue to learn, grow, and advocate for the well-being of our canine companions.

Here's to informed choices and healthy, happy hearts! 💖🐾

🐾 Forever in Our Hearts: Cherishing Every Moment with Our Furry Friends 🐾

Hey there, fellow dog lovers,

Have you ever noticed that no matter how many years we get to spend with our beloved four-legged companions, it never feels like enough? 💔🐶 Time seems to slip through our fingers, leaving us with treasured memories and a heartache that speaks to the deep bonds we share.

From the moment they paw their way into our lives, our dogs become family. They're there for the joyous moments, the silly antics, the quiet evenings, and even the not-so-perfect days. They teach us about unconditional love, boundless loyalty, and the purest form of friendship.

As the years go by, we watch them grow, change, and leave their pawprints on our hearts. And when the time comes for them to cross the rainbow bridge, we're left with a void that only their presence could fill.

But here's the beautiful truth: even though their physical presence may no longer be with us, the love, the memories, and the lessons they've taught us remain. Every wag of the tail, every wet nose nuzzle, and every playful bark lives on in our hearts.

So let's take a moment to honor and remember all the furry companions who have graced our lives. They may be gone, but their impact is everlasting. Share a photo or a memory of your furry friend in the comments below, and let's celebrate the immeasurable love they've brought into our lives.

Here's to the dogs who have taught us that no matter how many years we get, their love is forever etched in our souls. 🌈🐾

🐾 Sharing a Lesson from the Heart: Understanding Syncope and Canine Heart Disease 🐾

Hey, dog-loving community! 🌟 Today, I want to talk about something that I myself have been battling with my own dogs.

I wanted to shed some light on syncope and canine heart disease from my own experience. Please note that I'm not a veterinarian, but I hope my insights can help fellow dog parents navigate these matters with a bit more understanding.

Syncope, or sudden fainting, can be a concerning experience when it happens to your dog. It's essential to remember that there can be various causes for syncope, and one of them is canine heart disease. This condition can impact the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, which in turn can lead to episodes of fainting.

As a dog owner, recognizing the signs is crucial. Keep an eye out for unusual lethargy, difficulty breathing, or even collapsing episodes. Remember, each dog is unique, so any sudden changes in behavior should be taken seriously.

These episodes can be very similar to seizures so it can be difficult to distinguish the difference. Take note as to when it happens, how long the episode lasts, and how long the recovery period is. Having this information can be critical in a correct diagnosis.

My own journey as a multi-dog owner with 2 dogs battling heart disease, seizures, and syncope, has taught me that awareness is key.

I believe that knowledge is our best tool for ensuring our dogs' well-being.

Let's continue to share our experiences and knowledge because together, we can create a community that prioritizes our dogs' happiness and longevity. 🐾❤️

💚 Embracing Our Senior Dogs: Navigating the Arthritis Journey!

Hey there, fellow dog parents! As someone who cherishes the bond we share with our dogs, I wanted to talk about supporting our senior pups through the challenges of arthritis.

🐾 Growing Older, Growing Wiser: Arthritis in Senior Dogs
Just like us, our senior dogs face their own set of hurdles as they age. One of these challenges is arthritis – a condition that affects their joints and can impact their comfort and mobility.

🐾 How Can We Recognize Arthritis?
Keep an eye out for signs that your dog might be dealing with arthritis. Are they finding it harder to jump onto their favorite spot? Maybe even limping occasionally? These signs could hint at joint discomfort.

🐾 Sharing Some Natural Support Tips:

Turmeric Magic: Yep, you read that right! Turmeric, a natural spice, contains curcumin that boasts anti-inflammatory properties. It might help soothe those achy joints.

Green-Lipped Mussel: This natural supplement is like a secret weapon against joint discomfort. It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can help support joint health.

Cozy Comfort Zones: Creating cozy spaces with supportive beds and blankets can help ease the strain on those elderly joints.

🐾 Together, We Make a Difference. With our collective wisdom, we can help them enjoy their golden years to the fullest.

Understanding Canine Heart Disease: A Journey of Challenges and Hope 🐾

Hey friends,

I wanted to share something close to my heart today – the struggles and challenges that come with canine heart disease.

Living with a dog who battles heart disease isn't easy. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and ups and downs. From the initial shock of diagnosis to navigating through the array of medications and lifestyle adjustments, it's a path filled with uncertainties. There's no denying the worry and fear that creeps in, watching our beloved pups wrestle with fatigue, coughing, and other symptoms.

The daily routine changes, too. Our walks become gentler and we have to pay extra attention to their diet. Sometimes it feels like our lives revolve around pill schedules and vet appointments. The unpredictability of this disease keeps us on our toes, reminding us of the fragility of life.

But here's the thing – amidst these challenges, there's also an incredible sense of hope and resilience. The way our dogs continue to wag their tails, show affection, and fight through their difficulties is truly inspiring. They teach us about appreciating each moment and cherishing the time we have together.

Support systems also play a crucial role. Connecting with fellow dog owners who are going through similar experiences has been a lifeline. Sharing stories, tips, and even just lending a listening ear can make a world of difference.

So, to all those out there who are treading this path alongside their own dogs, know that you're not alone. The journey might be tough, but the love, bond, and lessons we gain from our courageous companions are immeasurable.

Let's keep spreading awareness about canine heart disease, supporting one another, and cherishing every moment we have.

Stay strong!❤️

🌱 Exploring Holistic Approaches to Seizure Management 🌱

Dealing with a fur baby who experiences seizures can be a challenging journey. I'd love to share some holistic options that I have found helpful for my own seizure dogs in addition to conventional seizure management.

Homeopathic Belladonna: Belladonna, a plant with potential medicinal properties, has been used in homeopathic remedies for various conditions, including seizures. I always keep this remedy as my go-to when my dogs have a seizure.

Eye Compressions: Gentle eye compressions are a technique that I always use during a seizure episode. Applying light pressure to the closed eyelids helps to stimulate the vagus nerve, which is linked to calming the nervous system. If you're considering this technique, it's crucial to learn the proper method and use it as part of a broader seizure management plan.

CBD Oil: Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is gaining popularity for its potential anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties. I have found positive effects on dog seizure frequency. Make sure to choose a high-quality CBD product specifically formulated for pets.

Stress Reduction: Reducing stress in your pet's environment can be beneficial. Mental stimulation and a peaceful home atmosphere can improve your dog's well-being.

Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants support brain health and reduce inflammation. MCT oil has also been shown to be beneficial in the reduction of seizures.

Remember, every pet is unique, and what works for one might not work for another.

Harnessing the Healing Power of Energy with Our Canine Companions 🌿🐶

As we journey through life, we often forget that energy is all around us, shaping our experiences and interactions. This truth is no less relevant when it comes to our beloved canine friends. 🌟❤️

Our furry companions, with their intuitive nature, are sensitive to the energy that flows through us and the world. Just like us, they respond to the vibrations of love, joy, and calmness. When we connect with our dogs on an energetic level, we're creating a bridge of understanding that goes beyond words.

I've witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of energy work on our canine companions. From calming anxious pups to rejuvenating senior dogs, channeling positive energy can lead to remarkable shifts in behavior and overall well-being.

But it's not just about what we give – it's also about what we receive. Our dogs are masters at sharing their pure and unconditional energy, reminding us of the beauty of living in the present moment.

So let's embrace this beautiful dance of energy exchange with our furry friends. Let's be mindful of the energy we bring into their lives, nurturing a space of love, balance, and harmony.

As you embark on this journey, remember that your dog is your mirror, reflecting the energy you project. Let's make it a reflection of compassion, empathy, and deep connection. 🌈
