Yeast infections in dogs, huh? Super fun. Well, you can chill, because I've got some home remedies that may help manage your pup's discomfort. But remember, these remedies are not a substitute for proper veterinary care, so don't skimp on booking that appointment. Now, let's dive into the world of ye**ty trouble.

First things first, let's understand what yeast is. It's a funky fungus that loves warm and moist environments. In dogs, the most common culprit is Malassezia pachydermatis. This yeast is naturally present on the skin of all dogs, but sometimes it goes rogue and starts multiplying like crazy. Usually, there's an underlying reason for this overgrowth – think allergies, oily skin, or immune disorders. It's like a party for yeast, but not a jolly one.

Yeast infections can show up on your furry friend's skin or ears, or sometimes both at once. Good news, though – they're not contagious to humans or other animals. So, keep calm and don't start itching yourself.

Now, how can you spot these sneaky infections? Well, your dog might be scratching like there's no tomorrow, smelling a bit funky, or displaying redness and scaling in the ears. It's not a pretty sight, trust me.

So, what can you do to address the discomfort? Here are some home remedies, but remember, consult with a vet for the real deal:

1. Keep things clean and dry: Yeast thrives in moist environments, so make sure to towel dry your pup after baths or walks in the rain. No damp fur parties allowed!

2. Modify the diet: Some pups benefit from a low-carb, grain-free diet. It's like putting yeast on a diet – less fuel for the troublemakers. But usually yeast infections are caused by environmental allergies, not necessarily grain, so don't just go grain-free without chatting with your Vet about proper nutrition. You can always opt to add some coconut oil or fish oil to your pup's diet and this helps too.

3. Antifungal shampoos: Look for shampoos specifically designed to combat yeast infections. Lather up and rinse away those pesky fungi.

4. Ear cleaning: Gently clean your dog's ears with a vet-recommended solution. But be cautious, you don't want to end up with a grumpy pup.

5. Apple cider vinegar rinse: Dilute some apple cider vinegar in water, and use it as a final rinse after bathing. It's like a tangy spa treatment for your pup.

Stay vigilant, keep those doggies comfy, and keep that Dorito-smell away!

*trigger warning* if you're squeamish, don't read lol

Back at the Vet! Now, it's Zuma's turn. She's had chronic allergies since she was a pup that cause small skin cysts, itchy paws, and ear infections, so we treat her with benadryl, anti-fungal/anti-yeast wipes on her paws, clean her ears regularly, and give her a full grooming every weekend to keep her healthy and happy. Well, the darn pup got a cyst that got massive since last w‍eekend and she bit it last night, and blood went everywhere. Cleaned it out and wrapped her tail to stop the bleeding over night. 🤦‍♀️

‼️Countdown is ticking away until the property is in probate and these pups have no where to go! ‼️

Loca and Lenna were such sweet pups to hang out with for a few hours last Monday! Lenna LOVES to play in water and has her own kiddy pools to splash in. I would love to see her with a family that gets her own indestructible stock tank to play in! 😆 And Loca, he's such a chill dude, happy to hang out nearby his humans and keep watch over everyone. ❤️

Share this post and let's find Lenna and Loca a foster or forever family! Tag someone you know that loves dogs! 🥰

🚨 URGENT: Lenna and Loca need your help! 🚨

Meet Lenna, a loving 2-year-old girl, and Loca, an experienced 5yr old working pup, who's looking for their forever home ASAP. Their temporary guardians can no longer keep them due to their owner passing away, and now the property is in probate and will be sold in a few weeks. Time has run out!

Lenna's story is one of resilience and hope. She's a bit shy at first, but once she warms up to you, she's a bundle of joy and affection, who truly needs companionship of humans and her pack! She's a unique mix of Spanish Mastiff, Pyrenean Mastiff, Great Pyrenees, and Akbash, weighing around 100 lbs.

Lenna has shown a natural inclination to be a guardian dog, but she needs some training to reach her full potential. We're looking for someone experienced in training, especially using positive reinforcement techniques, to help her on this journey.

Loca is a wise 5-year-old LGD who excels at protecting and nurturing livestock, including horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. Like many LGDs, Loca can be a bit reserved around strangers, but once he's introduced and knows you're a friend, he's your loyal companion who loves to hangout and chill nearby. His experience as a guardian makes him incredibly trustworthy when it comes to the safety of your farm animals, and he is content with staying out in the fields with the livestock with occasional snuggles by his humans.

Loca's only little quirk is that he's a bit of a fence jumper, so a secure yard or farm space is a must. If you've got the right setup, Loca could be the guardian your animals have been waiting for.

This is not a situation Lenna or Loca, and their temporary guardians expected, but we're willing to work with anyone who can potentially foster them. Rogue Redwing Farm & Guardian Dog Rescue will provide ongoing support, training, and resources to both Lenna and Loca, and their foster family. Together, we can ensure they get the care and love they both deserve.

Both pups have been working hard on their leash-walking skills and have shown great progress. Each are up spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. With the right family, they could be incredible additions. 🏡🐾

If you can open your heart and home to Lenna and Loca, or if you're interested in fostering, please reach out to us immediately. Let's work together to secure them a safe and loving future. Time is of the essence! 💕🐶

So important to remember!
18/10/2023

So important to remember!

When we seek help for our dog's behaviour we tend to focus on stopping something unwanted.

Our aim is to make that behaviour go away.

But there's much more to it than that.

Dogs act how they do based on their feelings and their motivations.

They can’t tell us what either of those things are unless we know their language.

Unless we identify what they need.

Then work out another way to meet that need for them.

Ethically, we can't dive in to make the dog stop doing something.

We must start by watching and listening.

Learning from the dog.

Asking the following questions.

Who needs a fluffy snuggly girl like Honey?? She's adoptable and needs a home as soon as possible, looking for a family or farm experienced with the breed, and ideally looking for a farm for this girl! Honey would do great with space to roam as well as having a family for companionship. Sharing for her owner who reached out, link below.

Honey LOVES snuggles + is a great family dog!

Honey is about a year old and like any pup needs training and guidance to feel secure and confident, and with proper training + socialization, this will probably reduce her current need to bark. However, she is an LGD breed, a Great Pyrenees, and an Anatolian Shepherd, so barking comes with the dog. We can utilize many techniques to help her, and I will be providing training + support to her foster family or adopted family to help with the transition.

First weekend away from home since we took in Macy. Had a few rough patches but thankfully we have some great friends help take care of them while gone. ❤️

Poor girl, we found that she has another trauma trigger, and it's undoubtedly from her abandoned and chased while on the run. She just needed some space, then reassurance and reconnection. She was all smiles and hopped right over when we got home. 🥰

Do you know the difference between a feral and a stray cat? facts:

Feral cats are the same species of cats as our pet cats, but are not socialized to humans or the domestic environment. AKA They behave like wild animals. Stray cats are socialized domestic cats who don't - or don't appear - to have human pawrents.

Have you ever seen a community cat have an ear that's partially cut? That's known as ear-tipping in the rescue world where TNR (trap-neuter-return) is used as a humane way to control feral cat populations.

Dogs resource guard for a variety of reasons --- think about the situations that your dog resource guards. Are they resource guarding a favorite toy, or food or a comfy bed? Trauma and deprivation can cause this, and it's important to remember that your dog is fearful of not having their basic needs meet. Just like with people who have trauma and have been deprived of stability, housing, food, etc.

Because Zuma is our OG farm dog, and I love her derpy goofy self. 😍 As long as she's with me, she's happy to go anywhere and do anything, whether that's being a fluffy couch potato or hanging with me outside while I work. also, love how trainable Berners are (if you put the time in! just like any dog). 🐾

Big, powerful, and built for hard work, the Bernese Mountain Dog is also strikingly beautiful and blessed with a sweet, affectionate nature.

Why do you love the breed?

Join the webinar-- Dogs & Toddlers!

Dogs need space when enjoying their meals or yummy treats.

Unsteady and unpredictable toddlers and children should not have access to their dog while they’re eating. Using a gate or having a dining station in a separated room will allow safety and stress free dining for your pup.

Having this space set up for your dog if you’re having a gathering at your house with adults, is still just as important as if you were setting up for toddlers and babies in your home. It applies to us adults too!

⚠️Even if your dog tolerates their familiar adults taking food, toys, high value treats or bones away DO NOT expect them to behave the same with other dogs, children or unfamiliar adults. How would you feel if a stranger came up to your dining table and took a bite of your food? Uncomfortable, Angry, Scared?

❗Give dogs space! Stay out of their face!
❗Dogs with a Bone....Leave them alone!

If the item is dangerous or needs to be removed, use your head and make an exchange instead! We encourage everyone to teach and practice "leave it" before you need it.

👀Looking for more? Join our Dogs & Toddlers webinar on 10/12 at 7pm EDT to get tips & tricks to help navigate this stage in a fun & safe way for everyone!

Scientific research in animal behavior and child development supports the importance of educating children about appropriate dog interaction. This knowledge not only ensures the safety and well-being of both children and dogs but also contributes to a harmonious and mutually rewarding relationship between them.

Human-Canine Communication Gap: Humans and dogs have different ways of communicating. While humans use verbal language and body cues, dogs primarily rely on body language, vocalizations, and scent. This communication gap can lead to misunderstandings between children and dogs.

Safety Concerns: Children are naturally playful and exuberant, which can be exciting for dogs but also overwhelming. Dogs may perceive loud and erratic movements as chaotic and unpredictable, potentially causing fear or anxiety. This can lead to unintentional scares or even aggressive reactions in dogs.

Understanding Canine Body Language: Teaching children to recognize and respect canine body language is essential. Dogs use various signals such as tail position, ear posture, and facial expressions to convey their feelings. By understanding these cues, children can better interpret a dog's emotions and respond appropriately.

Preventing Accidents: Inappropriate play with dogs can result in accidents, such as bites or scratches. Understanding how to approach and interact with a dog safely reduces the risk of such incidents.

So important!

Canine behavior can be influenced by fear and anxiety, and unfortunately, this can sometimes escalate into aggression. According to a study by Overall (2001), fear and anxiety can play a significant role in how dogs react in certain situations.

🐶 Fear and anxiety can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, lack of socialization, or even genetic factors. Just like humans, dogs can become fearful and anxious, and this can profoundly impact their behavior.

When a dog feels scared or threatened, their natural instinct is to protect themselves. This often manifests as aggression, which can be directed towards other dogs, animals, or even people. It's important to note that aggression is not a characteristic of a "bad" dog but rather a defensive response to perceived danger.

🌟 To address fear and anxiety-related aggression, it's crucial to understand the underlying cause. Working with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist can help identify triggers and develop appropriate strategies for managing and reducing aggressive behavior, and consulting with a Fear-Free veterinarian to rule out any potential medical issues is critical.

🚫 Avoiding situations that trigger fear and anxiety can be helpful, but it's essential to gradually expose the dog to these situations in a controlled and positive manner to help them overcome their fears.

👐 Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are key in dealing with fearful and anxious dogs. By providing a safe and nurturing environment, we can help them build confidence and learn alternative behaviors to aggression. What situation have you and your dog dealt with where they were reactive or anxious?

Science and research makes my nerdy heart happy! This is why I love applied ethology--- science of canine behavior. Want to know something really cool?? Training dogs, observing their behavior, adapting our methods is dang near the same as science-based methodology with trauma-informed parenting! Your pup has the mental capacity of a toddler, so now, before your react to your pups misbehaviors--- think of them as a furry perma-toddler, but one you can actually leave alone at home or in the backyard without CPS getting called on you! By adapting our thinking and expectations, this will drastically change our relationships with our pups, helps build trust, and reinforces better training outcomes.

They sure do. ❤️

Eastern Washington, who needs Bonnie?? 🥰

Eastern Washington, who needs Bonnie?? 🥰

This sweetheart has 1 week to get out of a Utah shelter. Bonnie is about 3-4 years old and loves people. When introduced to other dogs she growls. She doesn’t lunge or bark, just growls. It might be that she prefers to be an only dog or it could be that the shelter is a stressful place and she’s just not comfortable.
She was picked up as a stray along the highway. We don’t know if she’s house trained, if she’s good with cats, other animals or little kids. But we do know she adores the shelter staff.
And we know she deserves to have a wonderful life where she’s loved!! If you’re looking to make a difference and save a life, please consider fostering Bonnie. She doesn’t have much time left so don’t wait!
