Our hearts go out to those who have been affected by this tragedy. At this point, sources on the ground have indicated that there is already a tremendous influx of physical supplies headed to Southern California. Donating funds will allow these organizations to address immediate and dynamic needs without the logistical challenges of storing and distributing physical items.

If you feel compelled to assist, trusted groups like the ones below are working tirelessly to care for pets affected by the fires. Thank you for being part of a community that cares so deeply for pets.

Brrr...it's cold outside right now ☃️🌨🐾Here are some more with Dr. Judy Jasek to keep your pets safe and warm during the winter months:

❄️If you pet stays outside in the cold, you may need to increase its food a bit! Staying warm takes energy, so if your pet stays outside for longer than potty breaks, consider increasing its food by
10% in the cold weather.

❄️ Don’t over-do in the snow! Most dogs love the snow, but they are working their muscles hard and in a different way. Be sure your dog takes some breaks from hard play and watch for any sign of stiffness or limping 🐾

❄️ Your dog may need some extra joint and anti-inflammatory support such as CBD during the cold weather months. We recommend these brands:

✔️Suzie’s
✔️Ambary Gardens
✔️CBD Dog Health

A lot of the patients that we work with are receiving home treatments for cancer. When travelling or entertaining guests at home, it can be difficult to stay on a treatment schedule!

Here are some tips for modifying the treatment schedule:

1. Missing a few treatments here and there will not disrupt the benefit of the treatment with natural treatments such as herbs, mistletoe, or ozone. Keeping your pet on a good diet and
stress-free is the most important thing!

2. If someone else is caring for your pet and not comfortable giving the treatments, then just give your pet a break. It can actually be good for the body to have a rest and it may respond better when you return to the regular schedule.

3. Avoid vaccinations or other unnecessary medications as much as possible! These can stress your pet’s immune system and delay treatment results.

Here are some more to keep you and your pets safe as you're out-and-about celebrating!

🐾Watch for salted areas, this can be very irritating to the feet! I have seen some dogs have severe allergic reactions to salt when they lick it off and ingest it.

🐾Ice can also be irritating to the pads of the feet. Just the cold is uncomfortable, but there can also be sharp edges to the ice that can bruise the pads.

🐾You will know if the feet are irritated if your pet holds up the paws instead of leaving all 4 on the ground.

🐾 Watch for thin ice! If you pet like to swim, it may be tempted to cross over thin ice to get to open water. This is extremely dangerous, so keep a close eye on your dog when the edges of
lakes and ponds start to freeze.

🐾 Sometimes there is no other option if your pet is seriously injured or sick. We have a page on our website with tips for knowing when it is safe to treat at home and when to go to the ER:

❄️Pets will shiver if they are too cold, so have a coat or sweater for outdoor activity. Don’t leave your pet outside for longer periods of time!

❄️For hardier breeds, they may prefer more outdoor time in the cold weather and actually prefer this to warmer inside temperatures.

❄️Leaving your pet in the car in very cold weather is NOT recommended as they cannot move around to help them stay warm.

❄️Pay attention to how your pet responds to the cold and adjust accordingly!

Happy Pawlidays from Dr. Judy Jasek and the AHA Team 🐾☃️🎄The holidays are stressful for all of us and our pets are no exception. Here are some to keep your furry family happy and healthy during the busy holiday season:

Nutrition Tips:

✔️Be sure to keep you pet on its regular diet as much as possible.
✔️A few extra meat snacks are fine, but too many will throw its diet out of balance.
✔️Always avoid breads and baked goods and limit any starchy items such as potato or rice.
✔️If you have guests over, have plenty of healthy treats available for you pet so they are less likely to feed something inappropriate.

Stress Reducing Tips:

✔️Keep the routine as normal as possible! This includes meal and walk times. You pet is a creature of habit and will feel more stressed if the schedule changes dramatically.
✔️Sometimes pets get less attention when we are busy, but walks and play time are especially important to schedule in!
✔️There are often dog walking services or you can ask a teenager in your area if you are running out of time to spend with your pet.

Friday with Dr. Judy Jasek:

Arthritis care for your pet may require more diagnostics and natural treatment supports. If a pet is not walking on a leg, then an x-ray is a good idea to rule out a more serious injury or cancer.

Be very wary of common pharmaceuticals recommended by veterinarians for pain management! Pharmaceuticals may include Librella, Solensia, or NSAIDS. Dr. Judy Morgan's Naturally Healthy Pets has created some videos that further explain the risks associated with these pharmaceuticals.

There are many natural treatments and supports for your pet with arthritis.

✔️CBD
✔️turmeric
✔️boswellia
✔️Dog Gone Pain
✔️Chinese herbal blends

Here are some from Dr. Judy Jasek to help keep your pets safe and healthy this Thanksgiving 🦃🍂

✔Be sure that your pet does not ingest holiday decorations. Toxic flowers, pinecones, and small decorations can cause choking or intestinal blockages if ingested. Keep your decor pet-friendly to avoid a holiday mishap or ER vet visit!

✔Scented candles and other holiday scents can be irritating to some pets, especially cats. Watch for signs of respiratory congestion, sneezing, coughing, or runny eyes and nose.

✔Have some healthy treats available for your guests to give your pets! This will make it less likely for your pet to sneak something you would rather they don’t have!

✔Provide a quiet place for your pet to relax and decompress from all the holiday bustle! Create a quiet/cozy place with their bed, toys, and water where they can relax as needed.

There is nothing prescription about prescription diets. The diets you get from the vet made by companies such as Hills, Royal Canin, or Purina are often referred to as ‘prescription’ diets. I can assure you that there is nothing prescription about them.

Prove it to yourself, and look at the actual ingredients compared to the typical grocery store or big box pet store brands. You will find very little difference. The difference shows up in the price (much higher for the Rx diets), and the fact that you can only get these products at the vet.

The best diet for your dog and cat is a species appropriate raw diet, regardless of age, breed, or medical condition.

with Dr. Judy Jasek:

Does EMF exposure cause cancer? EMF (electromagnetic frequency) is the frequency emission from electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, routers and other home electronics. These emissions have been found to cause disruptions in the normal electrical balance of healthy cells. This can cause changes in the cells that can lead to the formation of cancer.

ElectroMagnetic Frequencies are a very dangerous and potentially fatal threat in our everyday environment that can affect both you and your pet.

Wednesday Wisdom with Dr. Judy Jasek:

Cancer is a very scary word! No one wants to hear that their pet has this diagnosis. Please remember that your pet will pick up on your emotions, so it is very important to stay positive and allow your pet to enjoy life as much as possible. Don’t let cancer ‘spook’ you into depriving your pet of the life it loves. 🐾
