It’s a rivalry as old as time—dog vs. mail carrier. Each year, over 5,300 USPS mail carriers are involved in dog attacks, and this number is even higher when you add in other delivery services such as UPS, FedEx, and Amazon. Training with positive reinforcement and socializing with visitors helps reduce these incidents. https://pbxx.it/DxBEGi

Are any of these toxins around your pets?
Make sure flavored medications are out of pets' reach, and chemicals are safely stored.

Keeping the house warm and cozy by cooking in the oven is fantastic for this weather. Make sure to keep ingredients like onions, chives, garlic and leek away from pets as well as dough.

While we do not have any reported cases of feline H5N1 in Indiana, make sure you are familiar with the symptoms and stay vigalent. Barn cats are more at risk due to exposure. Since any bird can carry the disease, it is best to keep cats strictly indoors. Besides, it's really cold outside anyway. For updates and further information, visit the CDC website.

If you need yet another reason not to feed your pet raw food, here's another reason.
Raw foods have been confirmed to be contaminated and the source of infection for household pets with avian influenza H5N1 (bird flu). Both raw milk and raw pet food diets have been found as the source in several cases.
Bird flu can develop as a severe illness that can include neurologic signs, respiratory signs, or liver disease that can rapidly lead to death. It can affect many species, including birds, cattle, cats, and even humans.
Overall, there have been 66 confirmed cases of bird flu involving humans across 10 states, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. California has the highest number of cases with 37.
To avoid potential issues, make sure all food is properly cooked or pasteurized to eliminate disease transmission. Do not allow swimming in or drinking from any water source that has deceased animals in or around it like ducks or cats. Keep any avian pets indoors and prevent wildlife from coming around by using owl figures or fake snakes around the avian pet housing areas.
For more information, visit the CDC website.
