🥶It's getting cold out there🥶 We took some time today to ask some of our team some of their best advice for pet owners during this cold snap! Here is what they had to say:

-If it is too cold for you, it is too cold for them. Bring them inside. ~Rachel

-Don't leave a pet in a freezing cold car, and keep your pets indoors. ~Alyssa

-If you have horses, make sure to have a tank heater to keep their water thawed, preventing dehydration and further complications like Colic. ~Dr. Foust

-Protect and maintain their paws! ~Rosemary

-Blankets, bedding, etc. can all become wet with snow. Make sure especially if any of this is outside that it is being kept dry! ~Robin

-If your pet is holding up their paws, or chewing at the snow stuck between their toes, it is time to come inside. ~Delaney

- If you have active dogs like I do, the extreme cold can be tough to keep them from getting bored. My favorite way to combat that is indoor DIY enrichment treats! Something as simple as their favorite dog-friendly foods (we do pumpkin, plain yogurt, kibble, bananas and water) mixed together in a muffin tin - freeze for an hour or two and then let them enjoy a tasty puzzle treat that'll keep them busy for a little longer than usual treats! Scent-driven dogs might also enjoy kibble or favorite treats rolled and tied up in a towel for another fun indoor puzzle treat! ~Lara

-If you do have out door pets, make sure they have shelter that is dry and insulated, and to check their water regularly. ~Amanda

Every year, pet owners inquire about the safety of poinsettias in their household. While not extremely toxic, poinsettia consumption can cause issues in the digestive system of your animal. Take precautions and introduce all new plants to your home responsibly.

Gertrude "Trudy" Brown Albrecht, considered the guardian of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed in America.

While the earliest recorded Cavaliers arrived in the States in the 1940s, most attribute the breed's first true foothold here to 1952, when Albrecht's sister-in-law Sally Lyons Brown received a black and tan puppy from a friend in England. One proved not enough and through the less than dozen East Coast breeders at the time, Brown soon established an active nucleus of Cavalier fanciers among her friends and family in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. She founded the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club USA in 1954.

After eight dutiful years as president of the club, building a stud book for the breed as yet unrecognized by the AKC, Brown passed the torch to Albrecht, who stepped handedly into her role as the new guiding spirit of the Cavalier -- often hosting specialties on her own Kentucky farm -- until her death in 1983.

OREGON: Several of our friends have affected dogs, some dogs fighting for their lives after visiting Oregon 2 weeks ago for our annual Golden National Specialty Show.

My Pet buyers: Never let your dog sniff another dog at the vet clinic, on a walk, at a park etc.🙄 That is so unnecessary and not safe for your dog ever. That’s how these diseases and viruses get passed around. Please at least keep your dogs away from other dogs for awhile.

I already read on the doggy daycare forums canine cough has already started going around for the season. This is more severe.

I had 4 that I showed in Albany OR, a 5th to the health clinics. My dogs were fully vaccinated, bordatella, the older dogs also for Canine Flu, and in April I had canine cough (or something) go through after boarding at the vet clinic while traveling. Luckily during the show as well as after 10 days from returning home I have heard zero coughing, I also quarantine dogs after shows (which everyone should be doing) which helps.

To those of you showing in Orlando tomorrow, Central Florida Kennel Club is dedicating their show to Julian Prager.

Take a moment to honor him.

If you don't know who Julian was, he was the Chairman of the Board of the National Animal Interest Alliance, and a delegate to the AKC.

As a retired attorney, he dedicated his retirement years to supporting and protecting your rights as breeders and dog owners. He was a regulatory genius and is missed everyday by his colleagues and friends.

Julian was very kind with help when I called him before lobbying against anti-dog breeding/dog owning bills at hearings in Montana.
