Mothers are awesome. They're caring, loving and can do everything for the little ones. And I'm not only talking about amazing women, but also about all the mothers of the animal kingdom.

Pet Proof Cleaning.
Trying to keep your home clean, but your fur-babies seem to have different ideas?
Having your fur-baby is a lot like having a child; with all the good that comes with them, comes a little dirty too. Their fur sheds on furniture, they have oopsies on the floors, and sometimes there’s a reason why in cartoons they are called flea bags…
so to help you out – here are some tips to keep your home clean and happy at the same time.
• Cover your couches (and other furniture) with a thin blanket that could be removed and washed easily.
• Take the fur-babies in for a little spa time and ask for them to be de-shed once a month. This will take off all the loose hairs that would generally fall off as they wonder about (causing all the hair in the house).
• Potty train them from a young age. Also consider buying some puppy training pads and a litter tray (if you have a cat), in case they are left home alone while you may be at work. Installing a cat flap for smaller dogs and cats work very effectively as well, this will give them access to your garden all the time.
• De-worm your pets every 3 months (if you have an outdoor cat and if they go for walks often) to 6 months (if they do not get out much). Keep in mind that worms can be transmitted from your fur-babies to you.
• Also treat them for ticks and fleas regularly. A spot-on treatment should be done monthly.
• Lastly – to keep the fur-babies from destroying your and their home, buy them toys for when you are not around to lavish them with love. Paying attention to your pets and giving them lots of love (and toys) will keep them stimulated and far away from chewing furniture.

WHY SHOULD I TREAT MY CAT FOR TICKS AND FLEAS IF IT NEVER GOSE OUTSIDE?
Your cat doesn't need to go outside to be at risk for fleas and ticks. Cats can be exposed to fleas and ticks from dogs within the household. However, even cats without dog siblings can be at risk. You can carry fleas inside on your clothes and shoes – and the larvae and pupae can hide within your home for weeks before hopping on your cat. If you live in an apartment complex, fleas can move from one apartment to the next. And, certain ticks are now known to survive indoors throughout their lifecycles,

so they can come in with you from outside, and hang around to attach to your pet.

Calling all Miniature Schnauzers in Gauteng - FREE Clinical Trial (Jhb 15 & 16 July)

Certain breeds have genetic diseases – and the Mini Schnauzer is no exception. Some individuals have a defect in the SPNK1 gene, which means that sometime after the age of 1, the liver is no longer able to pull triglycerides, a type of fat, out of the blood.
Levels of TG get higher and higher, and in time, can cause:
· Pancreatitis – a life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas
· Diabetes – a metabolic disorder of insulin and glucose
· Arteriosclerosis – clots and narrowing of blood vessels in the skin and brain in particular

In one study, 1 in 3 American schnauzers had elevated triglycerides; in dogs 9 years or older, 75% had high TG! Generally, this condition has been managed with special low-fat diets or medications, but we are uncertain as to what works best.

For this reason, Dr. Anthony Zambelli at Inanda Veterinary Hospital & Specialist Referrals in KZN is running a FREE clinical trial, supported by IDEXX Laboratories and Champion Petfoods. Purebred mini schnauzers get a free blood TG and pancreas blood test. Positive dogs are randomised to either start with 4 weeks of low-fat diet OR 4 weeks of TG-lowering medication; they are then retested and switched to the alternate (meds or food) for four weeks.

With this we hope to establish: (a) what proportion of SOUTH AFRICAN schnauzers are positive, and (b) which works best – foods or meds.

Dr. Zambelli will be visiting Fourways Vet Hospital to continue the trial in Johannesburg.
