SILLY SEASON SAFETY KIT
Part 4 - Etiquette for Pets in Public

We all love having experiences and making new memories with our dogs, and we are privileged to live in a very pet friendly area. However, there have been many incidents where the fun has been ruined for everyone.

Here are some of our top tips to ensure everyone stays safe and has fun when we have our pets in public.

1) Leash, leash, leash - yes, we are tired of hearing it, but this still remains the best way to ensure the safety of our pets and people. Consistent breaking of leash laws leading to public incidents, may eventually mean that the local government will not allow pets in certain public areas at all.

2) Keep your distance. Dogs that are intimidated or fearful can respond unpredictably. If you see a dog approaching from the front, try to create a bit of space (even if you are not also walking with a dog).

3) Always ask before petting. Even dogs that look friendly can get a fright when approached. Teach your children this too.

4) Respect the owner's requests. If a dog owner asks you to leash or recall your dog, or asks you to keep your distance, respect their request without judgment. It doesn't always mean that the dog is vicious or aggressive - there are many reasons why an owner might request space.

5) Pick up after your dog. This one doesn't need an explanation - don't be gross.

6) If you know your dog is reactive, avoid busy areas during peak times. As much as reactive dogs also deserve to go for their walks and have people respect their space, you should also practice some wisdom when deciding where and when to take them.

7) If people verbalize that they are fearful or don't like dogs, respect them and direct your dog away from them. Public spaces are for everyone, and a little respect and understanding goes a long way.

8) Make sure your dogs are clean and well-trained before taking them to restaurants. We appreciate that the restaurants in our area are pet friendly - let's not make them regret that decision.

9) Destigmatize muzzles. In our opinion, every dog, even the friendliest ones, should be muzzle trained. This will eliminate stress when your dog is ever in a situation where they need to be muzzled (think vet visits, groomers, or just walking in a public place with peace of mind). And do not judge an owner if their dog is muzzled in public - it doesn't mean the dog is aggressive, it just means the owner is responsible.

10) Ensure all your pet's vaccinations, deworming and tick and flea preventives are up to date before taking them out into the public. This will not only keep your pet safe, but also prevent them from spreading diseases to other pets and humans.

SILLY SEASON SAFETY KIT
Part 3 - Anxiety and phobias

Whether we like it or not, the festive season is often associated with fireworks, firecrackers and loud parties at the neighbour's house. These events can cause anxiety and stress in our animals. In severe cases, phobias can develop.

The management of stress in animals is multi-modal - in other words, there is no magic pill, and the problem needs to be addressed from multiple angles.

Some over-the-counter options that can help with milder cases, or can be used as an effective adjunct to other therapies, are CalmEze, Anxitane, Adaptil (dogs), Feliway (cats), Pet Remedy sprays and Royal Canin Calm and Hill's c/d stress food.

Behaviour and environmental modification and training is the most important thing we can to help longstanding anxiety and behaviour problems. Our friends at Pet-i-Ket Dog Daycare Training & Kennels , Endless Pawsibilities Dog Training and Just Dogs are experts in this field.

Severe anxiety disorders and phobias may require prescription medications in addition to training and over-the-counter treatments. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective options available, but you will always need a consultation with a veterinarian first before prescription behaviour modification medicines can be given.

If you think your pets will require some help with their anxiety and fear during the festive season, be sure to contact us.
