My good friend rescued this young man at around 4 months old out of a back country town in Langlade County. He was emaciated and was left tied in a backyard in the sun when his owners moved out. He was found unresponsive, but they were able to save him. Thank God! Flash forward 6 months later and we now have a very handsome, very smart, very huge, and very sweet 10 month old boy that has just been fully vaccinated, neutered and a 4DX test. He did test positive for Lyme and is currently being treated for it. She has named him Levi, which he knows well and listens excellent off leash. He does have a prey drive for small critters, so we recommend no cats. He is just a giant goofy lab mix puppy that loves to play and greet everyone he meets. Levi has a TON of potential and with a dedicated parent, he is going to be an absolutely amazing companion. Please help us find this precious soul a wonderful home! ❤️

Watch Out for Birch Sugar in Foods❗

If you see the ingredient “birch sugar” on a food label, keep it out of your pet’s reach. ❌ This ingredient is the same thing as xylitol, a sugar alcohol sweetener that’s toxic to pets. If consumed, xylitol can lead to a sudden release of insulin, followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia), triggering vomiting, loss of consciousness and seizures in dogs (cats appear less sensitive). 🆘🐕

Xylitol may also be referred to as “birch sap” or “wood sugar,” so keep an eye out for these ingredients on labels as well.

Read today’s free pet health blog to learn more about the dangers of xylitol to pets.

Here are more products that contains xylitol: https://bit.ly/3M8TgN4

Beware of Products That Contain “Birch Sugar” (aka XYLITOL) ⚠️

Xylitol (or "birch sugar") is a natural sweetener that is highly toxic to pets and can be found in a wide range of health and beauty products, lots of “healthy” human snack foods, over-the-counter drugs and supplements, and prescription medications. Make sure to check labels in products for this ingredient, and if they do contain xylitol, keep them out of your pet’s reach at all costs❗

🚫 A Warning to Pet Parents This 🚫

Macadamia nuts are the only nuts pets should steer clear of, as they can cause profound GI upset if ingested even in very small amounts. Other types of raw, unsalted nuts are safe for pets – they don’t contain any toxins that affect pets – but are still listed on many websites as “foods pets should avoid” because they can be a choking hazard (so chop all nuts into tiny, bite-sized pieces before using as training treats 👍). And remember, no macadamias for pets.

10 Reasons Not to Use a Retractable Leash:

1. The length of retractable leashes, some of which can extend up to 26 feet, allows dogs to get far enough away from their people that a situation can quickly turn dangerous, especially since retractable leashes often break or malfunction. A dog on a retractable leash may be able to run into traffic or make unwanted contact with other dogs or people.

2. It is very difficult to get control of a bad situation when your dog is on a retractable leash. It's much easier to regain control and protect a dog at the end of a six-foot standard flat leash than it is if the dog is 20 or so feet away at the end of what amounts to a thin, and unreliable, string. You cannot guide your dog away from an aggressive dog with a retractable lead.

3. The thin cord of a retractable leash CAN break easily, especially when a more powerful dog is on the other end of it. If a dog takes off at full speed, the cord can snap. That puts the dog and whatever he may be chasing in danger. Also the cord can snap back and injure the person at the other end.

4. If the person walking a dog on a retractable leash gets tangled up in the cord, or grabs it in an attempt to reel in their dog, it can result in burns, cuts, and more severe injuries. In addition, many people have been pulled off their feet by a dog that reaches the end of the leash and keeps going. This can result in bruises, scrapes, broken bones, and worse.

5. Retractable leashes can damage your dog's neck and throat. When your dog gets to the end of the leash, it can snap your dog's neck back, causing damage to their trachea and neck vertebrae, and even causing spine injuries.

6. The handles of retractable leashes are bulky and can be easily pulled out of human hands when a dog runs out of line and tries to keep going, or startles and pulls away, resulting in a runaway dog.

7. Along those same lines, if the leash is pulled out of your hands, the sound of a bulky dropped retractable leash handle may scare the dog into running. The clunky handle is then "chasing" the dog, clanking, scraping, and bouncing behind it, and if the leash is retracting as they run, they can't escape it, creating fear and anxiety.

8. Retractable leashes, like most retractable devices, have a tendency to malfunction over time, either refusing to extend, refusing to retract, or snapping.

9. Locks on retractable leashes are far from foolproof. If they temporarily get stuck at the wrong time (for example, when a child or strange dog is walking by), you may be putting your dog, or someone else, at risk.

10. Retractable leashes teach your dog to keep their distance from their human on walks and they encourage them to pull because they learn that pulling extends the lead. They can also learn that quick jerks can rip the handle from your hand, giving them freedom to run.

While many people believe that retractable leashes give a dog more freedom, the dangers are far greater than any perceived advantage. Use a nice sturdy flat leash instead and keep your babies safe!
