Hello all. I know that we are all distraught and heartbroken dogs that have become sick and for those that have lost their lives to what seems to be a commercial diet issue. We must keep sharing and making others aware so that we can save as many precious lives as possible.

I wanted to share my case from Monday of Farrah, a 1 year old mixed breed dog, who presented to the ER Sunday night for symptoms of anaphylactic shock including acute collapse, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and pale gums.

Her guardians had switched her diet to a kibble called The Source because they thought it was a better brand than they were feeding. After her first meal she started to show mild symptoms and then she was fed a second meal and the symptoms progressed to life-threatening.

She required 24 hours of intensive care, IV fluid resuscitation, epinephrine, and a plasma transfusion. Her liver values were elevated indicating a toxic insult and her coagulation times were off the charts. Thankfully she responded to treatment and is back home with her guardians. She still has mild symptoms and I have instructed her guardian to continue her detox using denamarin, NHV Immuno for dogs, NHV detoxification kit and NHV Yucca for dogs.

Tips to help you and your four-legged friend have a fantastic and safe Labor Day celebration.

1. Keep Your Dog Hydrated
As the Labor Day weekend often brings warm weather, it's crucial to keep your dog well-hydrated.

2. Provide Shade and Rest Breaks
Dogs can easily overheat in hot weather, so it's essential to provide them with shade and regular rest breaks.

3. Use Sunscreen for Dogs
Just like humans, dogs can get sunburned, especially if they have light-colored fur or exposed skin. Check out my blog on summer heat hazards for more about sunburn in dogs.

4. Choose Dog-Friendly Activities
Opt for activities that your dog will enjoy, such as hiking, a game of fetch, or a leisurely stroll in the park. Keep their well-being and comfort in mind throughout the day. Check out my blog on hiking with dogs for helpful info.

5. Secure Your Dog at Barbecues
Labor Day often involves delicious barbecues and cookouts, but it's crucial to keep your dog away from hot grills, open flames, and potentially harmful foods.

6. Be Mindful of Fireworks
Many Labor Day celebrations end with a fireworks display, which can be distressing for some dogs due to the loud noises and bright lights. Check out my blog on fireworks and dogs.

7. Update Identification
With the hustle and bustle of Labor Day activities, it's wise to double-check that your dog's identification tags are up to date. In case your dog becomes separated from you, having accurate contact information is essential.

8. Create a safe space indoors where your dog can retreat if they become anxious or overwhelmed by the festivities.

9. Pack a Bag of must-haves if you plan to be out and about including:

While it may seem like a great opportunity for some socialization and to spend some quality time with your four-legged friend...

A parade is not a fun place for your dog. Here’s why:

1- Lots of very loud noises. There will likely be fireworks, large honking fire trucks, etc. This can trigger even the most balanced dog.

2- Crowds and Chaos- the energy of the rushing crowds and the loads of people squeezed in together is a lot for a dog to handle. Just writing it gives me heart palpitations...so imagine how your dog feels.

3-The heat- the high temperatures of a summer parade can lead to heat stroke. The hot concrete can lead to burned paw pads.

Instead of subjecting your dog to the stress of the parade, take a nice long walk in the early morning hours together. Then let him stay home in the AC while you subject yourself to the brouhaha of a parade🤗.

Or in my case, skip the parades and hang out by the pool with your dogs!

The term LEADER has been given a negative connotation in the dog training space.

Some feel "to lead" is to suppress, dominate and use negative reinforcement.

This is not type of leadership I have ever known to be successful.

As a veterinarian I have always led my staff with respect, guidance, positive reinforcement, encouragement, by example and with clear expectations.

That is also how I lead my dogs to their full potential.

Leadership is a great thing as long as you don't abuse it.

Be the leader your dog needs you to be by:
-Earning trust first
-Focusing on bond building
-Making your expectations clear
-Being consistent
-Putting in the hard work
-Catching issues before they become problems
-Having grace and understanding

Learn the key principles of training before trying to lead your dog.

Purpose is essential for us to feel true happiness in our lives.

Caring for our dogs can give us this sense of purpose.

14/10/2022

Psst… this goes for humans too. Be aware of the energy you are bringing to the room. Be a source of love and light to lift up those around you.

And your dog will appreciate it also!

Have you noticed how sensitive your dog is to your emotions without you even having to say anything?

Hey Rockstar Dog moms!

I wanted to share a bit of advice regarding Cancer in Digs. As many of you know I am currently navigating it with our dog, Joey.
As I go through this with him I hope to help any of you out there who are also going through it.

Navigating a Cancer diagnosis in your Dog

This difficult time requires you to:

👉🏻make important decisions
👉🏻learn all you can about the diagnosis
👉🏻find support to help you through
👉🏻 Faith

Consider an oncology con station to gather information and options

Add a homeopathic vet to the treatment plan. Many will do telehealth consults

Educate yourself on the specific cancer your dog is facing

Once you decide on a course of action :
👉🏻Let it go
👉🏻 Don’t second guess yourself
👉🏻 Do not allow guilt in
👉🏻 Give yourself grace

Be present every day with your dog and cherish the magic moments together. Love on them as hard as you can until you can’t ❤️🙏🏻
