From this one little kitten, the Cornish Rex breed was developed.\nCornish Rex are noted for their marcel (wavy) coats, long legs, and large ears. They are intelligent, affectionate companions. These cats are high-energy athletes, capable of fast speeds and high jumps. They remain kitten-like and playful throughout their lives.\nCornish Rex are not hypo-allergenic cats. Some people who are allergic to cats are able to live with a Cornish Rex with fewer allergic reactions than they would experience with another breed. All cats produce dander and saliva, the agents which cause allergic reactions - Cornish Rex simply have less of these allergens than most other cats.\nKallibunker, the first Cornish Rex, was born on a farm in Cornwall, England, in 1950. He was the only curly coated kitten born in a litter of five to a barn cat named Serena. Outcrossing to other breeds, including Siamese, enlarged and strengthened the Cornish Rex gene pool and resulted in a variety of color and pattern possibilities including tabby, bicolor, smoke, solid, pointed and particolor. In the United States, CFA, the world's largest cat registry, no longer allows outcrossing to other breeds. Cornish Rex in the United States tend to be smaller and finer boned than Cornish Rex in Europe.\nCornish Rex have been called the greyhound of the feline world. The body is slender with an arched back and a \"tuck-up\" at the waist. The Cornish Rex has large ears set high on an egg shaped head. The eyes are oval in shape; the chin is strong. The Cornish Rex has a distinct Roman nose with a high, prominent bridge. Long slender legs, fine boning , dainty oval paws and a long whippy tail complete the style of this racy, active cat. The Cornish Rex coat is the most striking feature of the breed; it ripples with marcel waves and feels as soft as powder.\nCornish Rex are affectionate and intelligent. Because they love interacting with people, they make wonderful companions. They are high-energy athletes, capable of fast speeds and high jumps, remaining playful and kitten-like throughout their lives. Cornish Rex should be indoors only cats. Given proper care and diet they are healthy and hearty, with a life span that can be well past 15 years.\nPeople who are allergic to cats will most likely be allergic to a Cornish Rex. Dander and the protein in the cat's saliva cause allergic reactions. Cornish Rex have less hair than most other cats and they produce less dander. Since they don't need to groom themselves as much as other cats, their coats have less of the protein found in the saliva. A few people with allergies to cats can tolerate a Cornish Rex, experiencing minor discomfort.\nBeaconwood Sweet Designer Eyes\nGC Ridgway Save The Last Dance For Me", "domain": "pet"}

During that time, she treated our fur baby Stella as if she were her own. Aisha has an amazing ability to make Stella comfortable, understands her quirks, and treated her with the utmost love and care. She is an excellent communicator, extremely reliable, and even takes amazing pictures! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have her in our lives. We recently moved, and our one concern with moving was if we could ever find a sitter as wonderful as Aisha. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the BEST for their pets!\nCrystal M. / Stella\nAisha was a wonderful dog walker for our puppy Jorge. Whenever I was out with Jorge and we came across Aisha in the neighborhood, it would be Aisha that would catch if something got into Jorge’s mouth while we were saying hello. She is highly attentive to a dog’s needs and it’s evident that she truly cares for her furry charges. She also took wonderful pictures during her walks with Jorge and gave a detailed report on what happened. Jorge loved seeing her and we would highly recommend her services.\nSharon P. / Jorge\nI am absolutely devastated that Aisha will be leaving Jersey City. Our puppy LOVES her and responds so well to her. She is so kind, responsible, and AMAZING with dogs. We hired her for our outdoor wedding, to \"dogsit\" during the ceremony and reception. Our family and friends were in awe of how wonderful she was with our \"talkative and energetic\" best friend. We will miss you so much!!!!\nNicole S. / Ohana\nAisha is absolutely wonderful. I got my first dog Lena as a puppy right before the pandemic and I had no clue what I was doing. My 5 pound new puppy was so unhappy on walks in the rain and snow and cold that I could hardly get her half a block in a half hour most of the time. But after just a few walks with Aisha she was so much happier and more comfortable outside. Aisha also watched Lena in my apartment for a long weekend and Lena has been totally obsessed with her ever since. Obviously I trust her completely with my pet - she is as loving and cautious as I am with Lena, she was reliable and responsive during planning and also while I was away. She always sent pictures and updates - I never needed to ask or nag her. I know Lena had a good time because every time we've seen Aisha since Lena has lost her mind with excitement. Aisha is also a really great person - she is friendly, warm and open, the kind of person who makes you feel immediately comfortable. On top of all that, Aisha takes totally amazing pictures - some of my best pics of Lena as a puppy are from her time with Aisha. She not only captures the moment but Lena's whole personality. I would recommend her to everyone and especially to anyone who wants their pet in the care of someone who will take as much joy in taking care of your pet as you do.\nWhitney S. / Luna\nFor years, Aisha came over to walk Pixel - rain or shine, snow or sleet. With a smile and a calm demeanor, she established a routine and we came to depend on seeing her every week. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.\nArmando A. / Pixel\nAisha is the best and my favorite dogwalker. She gives each client and their pet careful and loving individual attention. She is thorough with her communication. I was use to companies who hire walkers I never met and couldn’t communicate directly with who was with my dog. Aisha is the opposite. I could always get in touch with her, I knew who was caring for my dog and she gave me details of the walks when necessary. I am spoiled to have her. Colorado is lucky to be getting her. I might have to move to Colorado just for my pup Charlie!\nJennie O. / Charlie\nAisha and PoshPups JC are the absolute best. Aisha is friendly, reliable, excellent at communication, and I would trust her with my dog Henry any day. Henry absolutely loves her. She walked him from the time he was 5 months old and I credit her completely with how well he walks now (no pulling!). When he was very young and learning how to walk without pulling she would send videos of things they were working on during their walks. You also get a map after the walk of where they went and how long they were out. A bonus is that she takes super cute photos and posts really cute instagrams. Some of the best photos of Henry are from Aisha ❤️. Highly recommend!\nChase C. / Henry\nAisha has been walking our rescue pup for a year and a half and there aren't enough words to describe how much we all love and trust her.\nOur dog can be challenging (not great with new people, hesitant to leave our house, can be nervous around other dogs or loud noises) and Aisha handles her incredibly well. Recently, we've had to implement new training exercises and Aisha is fantastic about helping us in our home and on walks.\nOn top of how well she handles our pup, Aisha is easy to work with, extremely responsive and accommodating to schedules, sends great updates & photos from walks, and is always on time & dependable.\nWe trust her completely and couldn't ask for a better walking companion for our pup!\nKristen K. / Sadie\nAisha from PoshPups JC is a pleasure to work with! She is incredibly patient with our very anxious scared labradoodle and so clearly loves what she does and the dogs she works with! Aisha is totally reliable and responsive, she's accommodated lots of last minute requests and changes without complaint. She not only walks our pup weekly, she has also dog sat in our home. We trust her completely and felt totally at ease knowing our dog was safe at home with Aisha and getting lots of good exercise and cuddles! I love the ease of the app she uses and getting updates and pictures after each walk. Definitely recommend working with PoshPups!!!\nStephanie A. / Cali\nWe couldn’t be happier to have found PoshPups when we moved to Jersey City. Our pup is fully obsessed with Aisha and gets so excited when she hears her at the door. Aisha is incredibly responsive and flexible and has always worked with us when our schedules surprised us. It’s great to be able to easily text with her about scheduling. We want our dog to be socialized with other dogs and Aisha found her some pack-pals. You will LOVE working with PoshPups!\nMeredith S. / Esquire\nAisha is the absolute best!! She’s been looking after both of our dogs for more than a year and cares for them as if they’re her own. She takes exceptional care of our senior dog and is a huge help with our puppy. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for an amazing dog walker in JC!!!\nPaul L. / Koda & Ike\nAisha is great at what she does, which is to say she’s great at caring for dogs and she’s great at assuring people that their dogs are in good hands. She’s provided several overnight care stays with my anxious dog while my wife and I travelled. Aisha frequently sent photos and updates on how Ruby was faring. She also left our apartment clean and in great condition, with a happy dog to greet us. We unreservedly recommend Aisha.\nKevin R. / Ruby\nAisha has been walking our little Chloe for almost 3 years now. She first started as our temporary dog walker whenever our regular one was on vacation. Aisha was so good it made the most sense to make her as our regular dog walker. She loves our Chloe as her own and takes really good care of her.\nAisha has become a friend and family to us. Our family loves her and we are very sad to see her go. However, we’re excited for her next chapter in Colorado. We are so lucky to have her and I am sure many of the pet parents in Jersey City would agree. Chloe would be missing her morning and afternoon walks with Aisha. The pet parents would definitely miss the warm conversations with her! All the best, Aisha!\nLowell R. / Chloe\nWe have been using PoshPups JC for over a year and I could not recommend Aisha and her business more highly! Aisha is always quick to respond, extremely professional and most importantly, I trust her with my dog and the keys to my home without reservation. I was recently walking in the neighborhood with my dog and we bumped into her unexpectedly- he was so excited and happy to see her he immediately started jumping around and crying. That kind of reaction speaks for itself! Aisha has never cancelled on us and the platform she uses to send pictures, walk updates and make payments is extremely user friendly and convenient. We love Aisha- thank you Posh Pups JC!\nDana M. / Charlie\nAisha, has been watching my pup since I brought him home at 4 months. (He’s now turning 3) She has cared for him, while we vacationed and traveled for work. Every time she walks or stays with him it’s always hassle free and very accommodating.\nShe is not only amazing with dogs, but what a kind soul!\nSarina V. / Cash\nAisha has been wonderful with my sweet, older, slow moving and epileptic Rottweiler mix. She’s patient and careful with him and I feel much better knowing she is coming to look after him.\nLena S. / Niko\nAisha is wonderful! Our dogs Marley loves her. She always takes him on really nice walks and sends us pictures.\nKristina L. / Marley\nAisha did a great job keeping us informed of Boomer's stay throughout the week. She took him on hikes and to the dog park daily.\nTaylor N. / Boomer\nAisha took amazing care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They went for multiple hikes during our long weekend trip and our dog came back happy and tired. Would absolutely recommend Aisha for your sitting/boarding needs!\nJustin S. / Eloise (Lou)\nAisha is a Blessing. She took such great care of my 2 pups. My Sara is nervous and can be difficult but I was given constant updates, photos and lots of communication to keep me at ease. Sara would not sleep alone so Aisha slept on the sofa next to her. She walked and hiked with them and they came home VERY tired. I highly recommend Aisha and will use her wonderful service whenever I travel. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my babies. Wish I could give you more than 5 stars!\nJoely K. / Carlos & Sara\nFrom start to finish Aisha was super professional. Beautiful home with lots of room and she is very welcoming and friendly. Lots of great photo updates that help put your mind at ease while your away from your pet. Highly recommended and I would trust her with my pup any day of the week.\nJustin L. / Pepper\nAisha is amazing with our puppy, Myki! We know he’s in good hands with her, with lots of hikes, walks, and play time! When we picked him up from a weekend at her place he ran back to her to say goodbye 💕We’ll be back whenever we need a place we trust for Myki!\nMandy K. / Myki\nAisha filled in for our usual dog walker for a few days and we had a great experience. Very friendly, punctual, and took good care of our pup. We'll book again. Perk: she takes great photos too!\nIlya K. / Lucy\nAisha is AMAZING! She took such great care of our Hudson and we definitely recommend her. We were afraid to leave Hudson overnight, but Aisha erased all our fears. She's a consummate professional and remained communicative throughout our trip. She even sent us photos and a status update every night!\nCatherine F. / Hudson\nAisha was amazing with our 4 month old puppy! She not only took great care of her, but offered some helpful tips. Lady loved her and will definitely see her again soon!\nAshley P. / Lady\nAisha is great. Prompt, communicative, and great with my pooch. Definitely recommend. Have used this app a lot and in two cities and she’s the absolute best!\nGregory J. / Bubbles\nAisha took care of our cat, Fairy, while we were away. She is super sweet and cared so much for our baby! Always gave us detailed updates and sent lots of photos!\nWe could tell Fairy definitely loved her.\nThank you so much!!\nOr B. / Fairy\nAisha is amazing!! She kept us updated during our 5 day trip and when we returned the dogs were relaxed and happy. I will definitely book her again!\nMichelle B. / Nilla & Benny\nAisha was wonderful with our two pups (who can sometimes be a lot to handle on the leash) and is always available for last minute walks. Highly recommend!\nRuby J. / Dutch & Edith\nI highly recommend Aisha. As someone who fosters special needs / behaviors animals, it is so reassuring to have someone so good and professional with my dogs. She is ridiculously punctual and easy to communicate with, and very accommodating! I feel at ease knowing they are in her capable care.\nMolly M. / Buster\nWe love Aisha! She is such a wonderful caretaker to our feisty little dog, Oliver. We have a terrier who has had trouble with walkers in the past. Even when he would act up with Aisha, she patiently worked with us and him until he was completely comfortable. Oliver loves taking walks and cuddling with Aisha whenever she comes. We also use Aisha for a few overnights and we always feel so relaxed knowing that she is there to take care of our pup! Aisha is extremely professional and flexible and we love working with her!\nBlaze P. / Oliver\nAisha was so amazing with our babies. She implemented some training for our male frenchie who likes to pull and took great care of our senior dog, picking him up so he doesn’t hurt himself walking up and down the stairs. I highly recommend her, she is super accommodating, reliable, prompt and friendly. :) She even helped us out last minute.\nRaquel M. / Celia & Lavoe\nAisha is the most professional , kind and reliable dog walker we have had the pleasure to work with for the last year and half. She treated Bentley like he was her own , was always on time and we never had to worry about him when we went off to work. She also watched him for an entire week and when we got back Bentley was so well taken care of and so was our home... she was a wonderful sitter! Highly recommend !\nDavid I. / Bentley\nAisha was so accommodating to me, my pup and our schedules. She is very kind and took wonderful care of my 1 year old puppy. She provided lots of photos everyday with her updates, which I really appreciated. It was my first time using a pet-sitter who stayed in my home but she made me feel very comfortable and I would absolutely trust Aisha with my puppy any time. Mowgli (my pup) seemed to love her from the beginning; and he was always smiling in all of the picture updates, so I know he was very happy in her company. She even cleaned my apartment before she left. Highly recommend Aisha to anyone looking for pet-sitting or a walker!\nAmanda S. / Mowgli\nWe've had an excellent experience with Poshpups JC. Aisha is a great person and our goldendoodle loves her! We get adorable pictures from all of their walks, and we're always confident that he's getting a great midday romp around the neighborhood. Aisha has been super flexible and very dependable for our little guy. She's super easy to communicate with and always responsive.\nRico & Steven / Barrel\nAisha is an incredible professional who caters to the needs of her clients! She is knowledgeable about the level of care required for the unique needs of our beloved family pets, and she provides it on a daily basis. We are thankful to have found her and value her as a member of the family whom we trust and respect!", "domain": "pet"}

Every pet care professional should have insurance, dont just ask the question, ask to see it. If they are hesitant or refuse then they are best kept away from.\n- What training do you have? Just because your pet care professionals have \"owned dogs their entire life\" doesn't mean they are suitably trained or qualified to care for your dog. Many people have owned cars the majority of their lives too, it doesn't mean they understand them. Ask to see proof of your pet care professionals qualifications or continued professional development (CPD).\n- Have you handled my dogs specific issue before? If your dog has any special needs, ask your pet care professional to speak about their experience dealing with the issue. If they don’t have direct experience, ask them how they would handle a theoretical scenario.\n- How many dogs do you walk at a time? This is an important question and one you must ask. The more dogs in the group, the less attention on your dog. This number should not be more than 5 at an absolute maximum.\n- Can I see your testimonials and recommendations ? Testimonials, recommendations and references are key when looking for the right pet care professional.\nPlease remember that no pet care professional worth trusting your dog with will mind any of these questions.", "domain": "pet"}

There are a lot of devices and apps out there to help us keep track of our family’s fitness, but what about our furry family members? Do we even need to monitor our dogs’ fitness and activity levels? The truth is, our favorite four-legged companions can suffer from the same fitness related illnesses as we can, from obesity and arthritis, to heart disease and respiratory issues. In fact, 60% of dogs is the U.S. are overweight or obese, which can decrease their life expectancy up to 2.5 years. Making sure they get the right amount of exercise each day, along with the balanced diet they need, and keeping an eye on any troubling lifestyle habits, can maintain our puppies’ health and keep them with us for as many years as possible. Fortunately, Whistle Labs makes several fitness tracking devices for all breeds of dogs, and their latest model is the Whistle FIT, a discreet collar attachment that will monitor activity, which kinds of activity, nutrition, sleep, and present it all to you in helpful charts that can be shared with your vet. I got a hands-on experience with this device, and the accompanying app, with the help of a happy dog named Parker, and his owners, Alyssa and Amanda. Let’s take a look at all of its cool features.\nThe Whistle FIT device itself, which retails for $79.95, is very easy to set up and use. Just charge it via USB, connect to the app with Bluetooth, loop it onto your dog’s collar or harness (up to 1″ wide), and you’re ready to go. The battery will last for around 15 days, and takes about 2 hours to recharge, so once it’s on your dog, you don’t need to think about it again for 2 weeks. Small and lightweight, measuring just 1.5″ x 1.6″ x 0.4″, and weighing only 0.5 oz., your dog won’t be thinking about it either. Parker didn’t even notice that it was on his collar. The device is shock resistant and waterproof, so it’ll be durable even with very rambunctious puppies. The internal sensor is a 3-axis accelerometer, and detects different types of movement, from walk and running, to licking and scratching. When movements are detected, the data is sent to the app.\nThe Whistle app, which can be used with the Whistle FIT as well as their other devices, is easy to use, and allows you to see your dog’s activity by the hour, day, week, and so on. When you first download the app, you’ll need to connect the device via Bluetooth, then set up your account. A subscription plan is required, but if you sign up for a year at once ($35.40), it comes out to only $2.95 per month. Next, fill in your dog’s personal data, like breed, age, weight, activity level, and overall health. You can set a daily activity goal, like 30 minutes of exercise, either from your own preferences or recommended by the app, based on your dog’s statistics. You can also schedule helpful reminders, like when to give your dog medication, or take him to the groomer. There’s a food portion calculator too, where you can input which brand of food you normally buy, with 3,000 types of dog food in their database. The app will access the nutritional information for that brand, keep track of how many calories your dog is burning each day through his sensed movement, and give you portion control recommendations based on his individual ideal balanced diet. Through colorful graphs, and daily stats screens, you’ll be able to monitor your dog’s calories burned, distance traveled, minutes active, and what sort of movements he engaged in. You’ll get notified when he achieves his daily activity goal, or if concerning behaviors like scratching have increased or decreased, or his sleep cycle has changed. You’ll have access to a weekly and monthly wellness report, which can be shared with your vet if necessary.\nThe app bases all of its movement detection metrics, portion control, and health reports on a 3-year long study, called the Pet Insight Project, that took information from 60,000 dogs, spanning 900 breeds. This wealth of data allows the app the match up your dog’s individual movement measurements to his specific breed’s typical behaviors, allowing it to accurately identify the difference between scratching and walking, for instance, or track how far he’s run based on his breed’s average stride distance. Between the extensive data collected from this study, and the 50 samples of your dog’s movement that the FIT takes each second, you’ll be getting the best information for your unique dog available.\nMy reviewers enjoyed being able to see what Parker got up to when they weren’t at home, especially while one was out of town, and to see when he reached his activity goal for the day. One of them is a runner, so getting Parker’s steps in wasn’t difficult, but finding out how many calories he burned was a new bonus. They were a little surprised to see how much sleep he was getting when they were at work, though he has hit middle age. Humorously, they weren’t at all surprised that his scratching elevated throughout the week, as he’s overdue for his bath! They thought this app would be ideal for a dog owner who travels a lot, or regularly employs a dog walker or pet sitter, so that they can make sure their dog is getting the proper care in their absence. Also, since you can add multiple phones to the same account, a pet sitter could also be alerted to any health changes, and be able to contact a vet themselves. They thought this would be a particularly great device for older dogs, or those with health issues, who need closer monitoring. For a healthy dog like Parker, maintaining his optimum fitness and giving them added insights is the main function. One thing the FIT doesn’t do, which my reviewers thought would be a great addition, is if it could detect when a dog is drinking from his bowl, so you can make sure your pup is staying properly hydrated.\nThank you to my reviewers, and of course to Parker too! I’d definitely recommend the Whistle FIT to anyone who wants some insight into their dog’s daily behaviors, fitness, and overall health.

A nice tow truck driver saw her dragging herself down the shoulder and stopped to help. He found an emaciated, scared, badly injured dog staring pleadingly into his eyes. He scooped her up and took her home. Unfortunately, it was late Friday night and there was no one to call for help. In the morning, the nice man started the search for someone to help this poor dog he had named Lucy. Her hind leg looked as if it had been caught in an animal trap. Most of the skin was missing and she was cut to the bone with a terrible infection already set in. After hours spent on the phone begging rescues, humane societies, and veterinarians to help Lucy, without any offers of assistance, the driver had almost given up. He tried the last number on his list- the CPR Fund. Upon hearing Lucy’s story, a volunteer was on the way to pick Lucy up. Upon arriving, the volunteer was greeted by the sweetest little dog she had ever met. Although Lucy was 15 pounds underweight and walking on only three legs, she managed to bounce over to her new foster mom and give her a big kiss. Lucy was taken to the vet, who predicted Lucy’s leg would have to be amputated. The damage and infection were so severe, it was doubtful the leg could be saved. But the severity of the infection and Lucy’s malnutrition made it impossible to perform the surgery right away. Lucy had to get stronger first. She went home with her new foster mom to wait. That was the best thing that could have happened to Lucy! Although she required daily wound care and lots of groceries, Lucy was a pleasure to be around. Always happy no matter how bad her physical condition was, she greeted everyone- humans, dogs, cats- with a big kiss and wagging tail. After a month of daily wound care and three square meals a day, Lucy went back to the vet. She had gained 18 pounds and her leg was healing beautifully. The vet could not believe the improvement in Lucy’s condition. It was decided the leg would not have to be amputated after all! Lucy had cheated fate again. After a few more months of TLC, Lucy was adopted by a loving family who spoil her rotten. This dog didn’t stand a chance as a stray and would surely have been euthanized if taken to an animal control facility. Without a foster home, Lucy would not be here and her family would not have the dog they adore.\nThank you for choosing to become a CPR Fund foster parent. With your help, we hope to decrease the number of adoptable dogs euthanized in northwest Indiana and Chicagoland shelters. Fostering is a very rewarding experience but it is also hard work. This manual is meant to outline what you, as a foster parent, can expect from the CPR Fund and what we in turn expect from you.\nThe CPR Fund foster program was initiated in 2003 by a group of EMT’s and Paramedics who recognized the need for vast improvements in the way northwest Indiana deals with its unwanted pet population. With the cooperation of local animal control agencies, humane societies, and veterinarians, the CPR Fund started rescuing dogs scheduled for euthanasia, placing them in foster care, providing all necessary vet care, and finding them a permanent, loving home. Over the years, some of the faces have changed but the mission remains the same- ending the needless euthanasia of adoptable dogs through education and example. It would seem that the easiest way to list your responsibilities as a foster parent is to run through a typical fostering experience as an example. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a typical fostering experience. Each dog is different. Each foster family is different. But these differences are what make the program so successful. Outlined below are some general guidelines to help you through the fostering experience. Please use your judgment, ask questions, and have fun!\nThe CPR Fund is a very laid back, open-minded group that encourages its volunteers to exercise their own judgement in many situations. However,, in order for the foster program to run smoothly, we have set forth some guidelines regarding the roles and responsibilities of both the organization and the foster family. These are by no means steadfast rules, as each animal’s needs (as well as each family’s abilities) will dictate the course taken for each dog. This manual is meant to be used as a reference to answer some common questions encountered during rescue work.\nBecause rescuing is a dynamic endeavor, these policies will be amended as needed. Suggestions are always welcome. Although the CPR Fund has a Board of Directors in place, it is very rare that any issue is put to a vote. This is a cooperative effort and every volunteer’s ideas and opinions are valued. Please feel free to share your thoughts freely, knowing they will be respected. Finally, please be aware that the majority of the communication within CPR Fund is done via email. PLEASE check your email regularly as that is where you will find any rescue-related news, requests for more information on your foster and adoption applications.\nChoosing Your Foster\nThe CPR Fund encourages you to take part in choosing your own foster. When you signed up, you provided us with ages, sizes, and numbers of dogs you are willing to accept. Our volunteers will contact you when a dog fitting your specifications needs rescue. We do our best to gather as much information about the dog’s size, health status, and temperament as possible prior to contacting you. We also use the ASPCA’s SAFER assessment when possible. There is more information about this assessment in Appendix V of this handbook. Please be aware that some information comes second-hand from an animal control officer or shelter worker and may not be completely accurate. What one person considers a “medium-sized” dog may be a large dog to you. A “puppy” may be 6 months old. When possible, we encourage you to visit the shelter yourself, or with an experienced volunteer if you are new to rescue, and meet the dog prior to accepting him or her. However, we occasionally work with shelters several hours away, making it impossible to do so. The decision is yours. Once you have agreed to take a dog, he is your responsibility. If, when the dog arrives, you determine he is not what you had in mind, there may not be another foster home available to take him. He will remain your responsibility until other arrangements can be made. This could take a day, a week, or a month. If you have very specific limitations on what you are willing to foster please let us know and you will only be asked to take dogs you can meet prior to acceptance.\nAlso, please be aware that some dogs are adopted more quickly than others. An eight-week old Golden Retriever puppy will most likely be adopted within a week of arriving at your home. A four-year-old Pit Bull might hang around for MANY, MANY months. This is something to consider when choosing a foster dog. Again, once you have accepted the dog he is your responsibility until another foster home opens up or he is adopted, regardless of how long it takes.\nFinally, please understand that the majority of our rescues come from places where they are not being properly cared for. They are often sick, scared, malnourished and in generally poor condition. Part of being a foster parent is a willingness to deal with the complications that go along with this general state of neglect. They may have worms. They may have an upper respiratory infection. This means they will have a runny nose and cough. Many will be scared to death of you. You may have to administer medication, work on socialization and teach these throwaway dogs what love is all about. While this may seem like a daunting task, it’s not as tough as one might think. Most of it is second nature for animal lovers and the change seen in these dogs after just a few days of proper care is amazing. And, as always, if you need help just ask!\nBringing Your Foster Home\nPlease keep in mind that (in most cases) we have no idea what may have happened to your foster dog prior to rescue. We do know he has been stuck in doggie jail for who knows how long. We know he looks at you as a stranger who may or may not hurt him. And we know he is terrified. Guaranteed.\nYou should expect that your new dog will need some time to adjust to his new family. His entire existence has just changed. He does not know that this is his new home. Suddenly he has to deal with a new schedule, a new home environment, a new communication style, new people, new animals if you already have pets . . . The list goes on and on. During this adjustment period your foster dog may exhibit behavior that he normally would not. He may be on his best behavior for the first few days and then start to show some negative behaviors. He may show negative behaviors immediately. He may not show them at all. Behaviors commonly seen in a stressed dog include having house-training accidents, making serious efforts to escape (including bolting out the door), jumping fences, digging under fences, attempting to avoid interactions with his new owners and excessive barking are common. They may also have decreased appetite or an upset stomach. As your dog gets more and more comfortable in his new home you should see these behaviors less and less. Just remember that dogs are individuals so be prepared for anything.\nIt can be a long process but there are a few things you can do to make the transition easier.\nDuring the first two or three days try not to be too demanding of him. Avoid excessive stimulation in any form- noise, movement, even talking to or petting your new dog may be overwhelming at first. Give him this time to unwind.\nDevelop a daily routine. Feed and let him out in the yard at the same time every day. If you are leash walking, try to walk him at a specific hour. You can also regiment what time he wakes up and what him he is put to bed. By establishing a pattern your dog will know what to expect and that will decrease his anxiety.\nIf you are having a large group of people, very small children or anyone who is afraid of dogs come to your house, keep your foster in his crate so he doesn’t become overwhelmed. He still considers you to be a stranger. Exposing him to large, noisy groups or small, unpredictable children will increase his anxiety and may trigger some undesirable behaviors.\nUse the crate. It is the policy of the CPR Fund that ALL dogs are crate-trained. There are several benefits to both you and your foster. First, you can leave home without worrying about the dog destroying your furniture or other belongings or getting into something that may harm him. Second, although you may see the crate as being a prison, your dog sees it as his own room. Dogs have a “den instinct.” The crate satisfies this instinct, providing him with a safe, secure place all his own. Finally, crating makes house-training much easier. Most dogs will not eliminate where they sleep when at all possible. Crating your dog when you are unable to directly supervise him will make the task of potty-training much easier. Just remember, a young puppy can only “hold it” for about 4 hours. If you are going to leave your puppy home alone for longer than a few hours, you should expect to find a mess when you return. However, as the puppy grows older, he will develop control over his bowels and bladder and be able to hold it for longer periods until he is eventually able to wait a normal eight-hour work day.\nTo facilitate crate training, establish the crate as your foster dog’s “safe zone.” Put the crate in an area away from commotion and if your dog starts getting overwhelmed, calmly lead him to his crate. Always feed and give treats in the crate so he associates it with positive experiences. You can also put a high-value toy or special treat inside to encourage him to go in. This also keeps him busy, making him less likely to feel anxious. Eventually your dog will learn that if he is scared, anxious or just wants to be alone he can go to his crate and be safe. More information on crate training can be found in the next section. If you need help with crating your new dog, just ask. We want your dog to associate his crate with safety and security. If being put in the crate is a traumatic experience, we are defeating the purpose.\nBasically, in order to ease your foster’s transition try to avoid anything that may further stress him or her.. And please give your new dog time and space to fully decompress for the first two weeks, minimum. Some dogs may need more, some less. You will know he is adjusting to his new world when he no longer appears to be constantly on edge. He will also begin to not only seek but also enjoy your attention. Once these new, confident behaviors are well-established you can consider introducing him to any resident pets.\nIf at any time you feel your foster dog is a danger in any way, contact Steph IMMEDIATELY to discuss the situation and devise a solution. If you, another person or an animal is harmed and your foster dog is involved in any way, regardless of the circumstances, first seek immediate medical attention for the injured party/parties if necessary. Then contact Steph regarding the proper procedure to follow. Each state, county, city and town have specific policies and procedures so where the incident occurred will dictate where we go from here. The CPR Fund follows all state and local regulations pertaining to animals. There are no exceptions.\nIntroducing your resident dog to a foster dog can be very challenging and should not be attempted until your foster dog appears comfortable and well- adjusted in his new home. For the first two weeks dogs should not be allowed in direct contact. Keep one dog crated while the other is free and alternate them regularly. Doing so allows the dogs to see and smell each other. It also allows each dog to study the other’s behavior, mannerisms and general attitude. And both dogs remain safe should a conflict arise because the crate keeps them physically separated. Once the dogs seem comfortable around each other you can start the introduction process. Each introduction is different so always be alert and look for signs of distress in either dog whether it is their first meeting or their 50th. There are many techniques used to introduce a foster dog to resident pets. The process we follow can be found at the end of this handbook in Appendix IV- “Recommendations for Dog Introductions.” Again, these are just guidelines. You should tailor the steps to fit your particular dogs’ needs. And if you need help, just ask.\nCommon Shelter Illnesses\nMost animal control facilities and many humane societies are under-funded, under-staffed and over-burdened with unwanted animals. And while most facilities do the best they can with what they have, often it isn’t enough. There are several conditions common in shelter situations that you may have to treat in your foster dog. This section covers the most common illnesses in shelter dogs. The next section outlines at-home treatment options for them.\nLack of Dirt Disease: Because most of our fosters were living in sub-standard conditions prior to rescue, they generally develop what one foster mom has named “Lack of Dirt Disease.” Once the dog is removed from the filthy environment, given clean water and good food on a regular basis and treated for intestinal parasites, the system goes into a sort of “shock.” This usually entails a few days of diarrhea or a few weeks of a runny nose and cough, possibly both. This condition is more common in puppies than adult dogs but almost all of the dogs have it to some degree. Because the diarrhea is usually caused by intestinal parasites and/or the stress of the shelter, a dose of worming medication and a change of environment clears most cases up within a few days. The runny nose and cough* usually hang on a little longer. Because the condition is generally viral, antibiotics do not help. We have adopted a “wait and see” approach with this condition. If there is no improvement within 3-5 days, a course of antibiotics is started to decrease the likelihood of a secondary infection. There should be considerable improvement within seven days. This is nothing to panic about; they ALL get it. As long as the dog is still eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and playing chances are the illness is bothering you more than it is bothering the dog. If there is no improvement within seven days or the dog’s condition deteriorates, contact Steph to discuss the situation.\n*NOTE: As of January 2016, Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) is still not in control of the Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) outbreak. Any dog that comes from this facility has, at the very least, been exposed to the virus. Some of the dogs are tested but others are not. Regardless of testing or symptoms, ALL DOGS FROM THIS FACILITY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FLU-POSITIVE AND EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS! For this reason, any dog pulled from CACC needs to be in strict quarantine for 2-3 weeks. During this time they should not be allowed to interact with any other animals under any circumstances. You should also wash your hands frequently to minimize the risk of taking the virus with you everywhere you ago. This virus is EXTREMELY contagious and very dangerous, sometimes rapidly progressing into pneumonia. Before any dog is pulled from CACC, you will have to discuss the situation with Steph to ensure the rescue is equipped to deal with any potential problems. As of this update there are vaccines available for both strains of the CIV virus. We strongly encourage the owners of any dog that frequently encounters dogs outside the home to talk to their veterinarian about the pros and cons of these vaccinations. For more information on CIV you can visit https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/CanineIn... or talk to your veterinarian.\nKennel Cough : Kennel cough is actually a generic term for several diseases of the respiratory tract that cause a dry, hacking cough. It is very similar to a cold in humans and is transmitted in much the same way, by coming in contact with an infected individual. All of your current pets should be vaccinated against kennel cough prior to the arrival of your first foster dog. The disease has an incubation period of 2 to 14 days. This means the dog starts to develop symptoms 2 to 14 days after exposure. In general, the illness resolves on its own. We feel that it is best not to treat this condition with antibiotics since it is almost always self-limiting and the organism that causes kennel cough is a normal inhabitant of the upper airways. Treatment may lead to antibiotic-resistance problems, which makes it more difficult to treat the most serious potential complication, pneumonia. Although, a simple case of kennel cough progressing to pneumonia is very rare. You can give Robitussin DM to help with the symptoms if absolutely necessary, keeping in mind that the coughing is beneficial because it helps expel infected mucous from the lungs. If your foster does not show improvement within seven days, the symptoms get worse or the dog stops eating/drinking/playing/pooping, contact Steph or Jill to schedule a vet appointment.\nWorms: Worms is a general term used to encompass several different species of parasites. Shelter dogs often have any or all of the following: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Roundworms are long and white and described as looking like spaghetti. Hookworms are very small and require microscopic examination of a stool sample. Whipworms are also very small and require a fecal examination. Tapeworms are flat and obviously segmented. As the tapeworm grows, some of the segments are shed and may be seen caught in the hair around the anus or in their feces. They look like grains of rice. Most worm infestations cause diarrhea (perhaps with blood,) weight loss, dry hair, general poor appearance and vomiting (perhaps with worms in the vomit- YUCK!) However, some infestations cause few or no symptoms. Because of this, we assume all our dogs have all of the above and are treated accordingly. They receive Drontal Plus the day they arrive and a second dose two to three weeks later, if needed. To keep your personal pets from getting worms, you should try to keep your fosters in an isolated area when using the bathroom and keep the feces picked up. Also, Heartguard Plus will prevent infestation of most kinds of worms. For this reason, it is imperative that your personal pets are on Heartguard year-round.\nCoccidia: Coccidia is an intestinal infection found in puppies less than 6 months of age and, most commonly, in puppies less than 12 weeks. The disease also occurs in immunosuppressed adults or animals who are stressed (i.e. noisy shelter, change in environment.) The incubation period for coccidia is about two weeks. The most common symptom of coccidia is diarrhea. Because most cases are mild, treatment is often unnecessary. Again, as long as the dog is eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and playing he is most likely fine. If the diarrhea seems excessive or continues for several days, isolate the puppy from other animals and contact Steph or Jill. As with worms, the best way to keep your personal pets from developing coccidia is to keep your fosters in an isolated area when using the bathroom and properly dispose of their feces.\nParvo Virus : This is a bad one. We don’t see it all that often because the disease is usually fatal when left untreated and the dog dies at the shelter before rescue is even contacted. Parvo is most common in puppies under 12 weeks of age although it is possible for an adult dog to contract the virus. The disease has an incubation period of five to fourteen days. Your foster may seem fine for a week and then suddenly fall gravely ill. Dogs with parvo act like they are in extreme pain. Early symptoms are depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, high fever and severe, foul-smelling diarrhea. Feces can be either grayish or liquid and bloody. It also has an extremely foul smell distinct to this illness. Rapid dehydration is a danger and dogs may continue to vomit and have diarrhea until they die, usually about three days after the onset of symptoms. Others may recover without complications and have no long-term problems. Puppies can die suddenly of shock as early as two days into the illness. This is not just a little diarrhea or upset stomach. The dog will look extremely sick. If you have any concerns that your foster may have Parvo, immediately separate him from any other pets and call Steph or Jill. Your dog will need veterinary care immediately. To prevent your pets from getting Parvo, they will be vaccinated against it prior to the arrival of your first foster. Again, Parvo is very rare in adult dogs and should not endanger your personal pets in any way.\nBecause most of these illnesses have an incubation period of about 10 days, we require you to keep your dog in foster care for at least 10 days prior to adoption. Although this does not guarantee the dog will not develop one of these diseases, it does make it less likely.\nThese are just the most common problems we see in the shelter dogs and is by no means a comprehensive list. If your dog is exhibiting signs and symptoms of any of the above, check the document entitled “Quick Fixes for Common Problems” at the end of this text and contact the CPR Fund. We will evaluate the problem and get you the appropriate treatment. For conditions we cannot treat ourselves, you’ll need to take your foster to the vet.\nThe CPR Fund works with the following veterinary clinics:\nAnimal Care Center in Chicago, IL\nAnimal Care Center in St. John, IN\nAnti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, IL\nArbor View Animal Hospital in Valparaiso, IN\nPAWS in Chicago, IL\nRoselle Animal Hospital in Schaumburg, IL\nSpay IL in Lisle, IL\nVCA Forest South Animal Hospital in University Park, IL\nWe also utilize Premier Veterinary Group for any dog that needs specialized care not available at one of our regular veterinary offices. They have multiple locations in the Chicagoland area. For exact addresses, phone numbers, policies and procedures for each clinic please see the vet list at the end of this handbook. These clinics give us a rescue discount, allowing us to remain financially viable. We do not use any other veterinary clinics. The staff at these clinics is very familiar with our organization, volunteers and procedures. Your foster dog will have as much of his age-appropriate vetting done as possible prior to coming to your home. However, if the dog is ill or is very young, he may still require shots, worming, heartworm test, etc. A CPR Fund volunteer will let you know if your dog requires further veterinary care. We will also give you a schedule showing what is still needed and when it needs to be done.\nIf your dog needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian, contact Steph or Jill to obtain a Permission to Treat (PTT) Form. EACH CLINIC HAS ITS OWN FORM AND WILL NOT SEE THE DOG IF YOU DO NOT BRING THE CORRECT FORM*. If it is an emergency situation- i.e. the dog has been hit by a car, poisoned, having an allergic reaction, etc.- don’t call, just go. Please go to the clinic that is closest to your home or, if the emergency occurs after “normal” business hours, go to Forest South or one of the Animal Care Center locations. They are open late on weekdays and have hours on Saturday and Sunday. If you are bringing an emergency case to one of these clinics, please do your best to call ahead (to the clinic, Steph or Jill) so staff can prepare to care for your dog. All of our vets are very good about “squeezing us in,” taking emergency cases, and boarding our particularly ill fosters. For non-emergency cases, once you receive the PTT you can go to the vet at your convenience. Both Animal Care Center locations and Forest South/VCA are walk-in clinics so you do not need an appointment. For all other clinics you will need to call and make an appointment. Please note, Westchester is almost always running behind schedule so if you are taking your dog there, be prepared to wait. You will be responsible for taking your dog to the vet** unless other arrangements have been made. Because most of the CPR Fund’s volunteers work full-time and have other commitments, we do not have the resources to provide transportation in every case. Also, you will be able to describe your dog’s problem more accurately, ask questions and understand the treatment plan if you are there. Whatever charges are incurred during the vet visit are billed to the CPR Fund. You will be given any necessary medication, follow-up instructions, etc. Please e-mail Jill with this information so it can be entered into the dog’s medical record. * PLEASE NOTE: You must take a Permission to Treat Form to ALL vet visits. ** If your dog needs to see a vet and you are unable to get him there in a reasonable amount of time, contact Steph and she will try and find a way to arrange transport.\nAll CPR Fund’s dogs are required to be spayed or neutered. There are no exceptions, ever. We work with vets that will do surgery on dogs as young as 8 weeks of age (in certain cases) but we prefer to wait until the dog is between 10 and 12 weeks old. As with any vet appointment, it is your responsibility to ensure your dog makes it to his scheduled surgery appointment. Your dog should not have anything to eat or drink after 9 p.m. the night before surgery. Surgery schedules, drop off/pick-up times and other clinic information can be found in Appendix I on page 18 of this handbook.\nIf you are unable to accommodate this schedule, you will have to make other arrangements. Often times, you will be able to drop your dog off the night before at another foster home and they will transport your dog to the appointment and pick him up after surgery. Then you can retrieve your dog from that foster when your schedule allows. As always, if you need help arranging transport, just ask.\nPrior to surgery, your dog should be up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives. Refer to the vaccination schedule at the back of this manual or contact Steph or Jill if you have any doubts as to whether your dog requires any updates. He should also be in generally good health- no open sores, fleas, obvious signs of illness, etc. A little cough is okay but please don’t bring an obviously ill dog to be altered. The vet will not do the surgery and you will have wasted your time. Again, your dog should have nothing to eat or drink after 9 p.m. the night before surgery.\nFollowing the surgery, you may give a little food and water the first night. Do not feed a full meal or copious amounts of water- your dog will vomit. Return to a normal feeding schedule in the morning. Monitor the incision closely for any redness, swelling, discharge, change in temperature or anything else out of the ordinary. In some cases, the inner incision is closed with absorbable sutures and the outer with glue. Although the glue is quite strong, it can give way if the dog is licking or overly active. Keep the dog calm the first few days after surgery. If he is licking/scratching the incision, contact the CPR Fund for an E-collar. You can also take an old T-shirt and put it on the dog “backwards” with the tail through the neck opening and the hind legs in the armholes. Tie the waist of the shirt snugly around the dog’s abdomen. Besides keeping the dog from licking, it provides you with quite a laugh.\nSome veterinarians include the cost of antibiotics and/or pain medicine in the price of the surgery and will send medication home with you. Others give these medications via injection before your dog leaves. Most dogs recover quickly without medication but if you feel your dog needs pain control and/or antibiotics, contact Steph or Jill to discuss the situation. We keep both medications on hand so do not buy them from the vet. Use both as prescribed. In our experience, the males rarely require pain medication at all and the younger females are back to normal within two days. The adult females generally require several days’ worth of rest and pain medication to fully recover. Still, each dog is different. Use your judgment or contact the CPR Fund or veterinarian for advice.\nPublicizing Your Foster\nOnce your foster gets a chance to “settle in “ and appears to be happy and healthy, it is time to get him posted on the CPR Fund website, Petfinder, Facebook and the many other websites we use to promote adoption. Please take photos of your foster enjoying their new home life. PICTURES ARE THE FIRST THING TO CATCH THE EYE OF A POTENTIAL ADOPTER so please get the best pictures possible. There are over 200,000 adoptable pets listed on Petfinder alone. You need great pictures to make your dog stand out and get noticed. Seriously, this cannot be stressed enough. Natural sunlight provides the best lighting so pictures taken outdoors are ideal. Also, take pictures of your foster during various activities. Nobody wants to see 12 pictures of the same dog sleeping on the couch. If you need help getting good pictures consider contacting Barbara or Jill for more tips. Both are excellent photographers.\nAlso, take note of your dog’s likes/dislikes, habits, behavior and other pertinent information. Some examples: Is he good with other dogs/cats/kids? Is he housebroken/crate-trained? What is his activity level? List any commands your dog already knows or if he has graduated from an obedience class. Finally, include anything cute or “special “about your particular foster. This gives him a bit of personality and helps separate him from every other dog listed.\nIf you need help writing a bio, visit www.petfinder.com to see thousands of examples.\nEmail/text copies of all paperwork you received from the shelter, pictures and biography information to Steph@cprfund.com so she can enter your foster into the system and get him posted to the various websites. And please CC Barbara@cprfund.com on these emails as she handles the CPR Fund Facebook page. Your foster will then be put onto the various websites. Most CPR Fund adoptions originate from our website, Facebook, Petfinder.com, etc so it is very important you do your best when submitting your dog’s information.\nNow comes the fun part- finding your foster a forever family! As a foster parent, you know your dog better than anyone. For this reason, we encourage all foster families to choose their own adopters. If you are uncomfortable with this arrangement, please let us know and we will assign another volunteer to handle your dog’s adoption.\nThe most important thing to remember when evaluating an adoption application is that just because the prospective parents will provide a good home does not mean it is the right home for your dog. For example, the prospective family may have a glowing vet reference and are wonderful people. But, they are in their late seventies and live in a one-bedroom apartment. If they were applying for an 8-week-old Lab puppy they would be denied. If they were applying for a three year old Chihuahua they would be approved. Please remember that we are looking for permanent, appropriate homes for our fosters.\nBecause every dog is different, every adoption is different. However, there are a few hard and fast rules: - No CPR Fund dog is to be adopted as an “outside dog” - All dogs are to be kept indoors as part of the family. - No large or very active breeds are to be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also suggest a fenced yard. - No dogs will be adopted for breeding, scientific experimentation, hunting, guard/attack use, or any purpose other than companionship. - We do not adopt animals as presents or gifts without the potential adopter’s knowledge and approved application - No Pit Bull or Pit Bull mix will be adopted to any person who lives in a community with breed-specific legislation (BSL) in place. Again, if you have a bad feeling about an adoption but can’t put your finger on why- don’t do the adoption. Trust your gut! The CPR Fund is a private rescue and has the right to refuse any adoption for any reason. If you would not have this family over to your home for dinner, don’t give them your dog. And, if you have any questions just ask!\nBesides word of mouth, our adoptions come from two main sources: the internet and events. The internet is a fabulous tool to help find your dog a forever family. Besides the numerous sites we post the dogs for you, you can use your own Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. to promote your foster dog and CPR Fund in general. Obviously we ask that any posts pertaining to the group are not offensive, foul or inflammatory. We are all adults working toward one goal so hopefully that goes without saying.\nThere are various events scheduled throughout the year. There may be an Adoption Day at Petsmart, a donation drive outside a store or even a large event with many other rescues. If you have an idea for an adoption event please feel free to share. We are always looking for new and interesting ways to showcase our adoptables. It is your responsibility to make sure your foster gets to these events. If you are unable to accompany your dog, you can send an email to the group to see if another volunteer can help. We do sometimes have volunteers who can’t foster but are willing to help transport and/or handle the dog during the event. Participation in these events is ESSENTIAL and STRONGLY encouraged. These Adoption Days are advertised and potential adopters expect to see our available dogs. Events also help by spreading the word about our organization and by bringing in much-needed donations. Dates and times of upcoming events are always posted on the CPR Fund website, Facebook and via email so please check these regularly.\nAfter your dog is posted, you will start receiving emails asking for more information on the dog as well as adoption applications.\nThere are three phases of approving an application. First, if the applicant has other pets, call their vet for a reference. Current pets should be up-to-date on vaccinations, altered, and current on heartworm preventative. Also, make sure they do not have other pets not listed on the application. Feel free to ask the staff questions about the adopters. Do they have a history of “getting rid of” pets? Are their current pets in good condition when they are brought in for appointments? Is there any other pertinent information that should be considered? Occasionally a vet’s office will refuse to answer any questions without the applicant giving them permission to share. If that happens, contact the applicant and explain the situation. If they have nothing to hide they should have no problem allowing their vet to speak with you.\nSecond, if they have a landlord, contact them. Be sure to ask specifics. If the landlord says, “Yes, they can have a dog” be sure to ask if there is a weight/size limit, breed restrictions, or an increase in rent or security deposit for the tenant. Also, ask if the prospective adopter is a responsible person. Some, not all, landlords are more than happy to tell you the tenant stays out until all hours of the night, never pays rent on time or has frequent visits from the police. Again, use your judgment.\nIf the first two checks go well, the final step is to interview the family. Be sure to ask a lot of questions. And notice if they don’t ask any. This is the part where you need to trust your instincts. If you don’t have a good feeling about the adoption, don’t do it. Again, refer to this manual or contact us for guidance.\nIf your foster happens to be a Pit Bull or Pit Bull mix, you will also need to call the animal control, police department, humane society or whatever municipal body oversees animal ordinances and find out if there is any breed-specific legislation (BSL) where the applicant lives. THIS STEP IS VITAL. Some communities have enacted laws that force bully breed owners to take out enormous homeowner’s insurance policies, muzzle their dogs when in public, install a six foot privacy fence and all sorts of other rules and restrictions. Some communities have outright banned Pit Bulls. Under no circumstances will a bully breed be adopted to a family living in a BSL community. Period.\nPit Bull fosters are also encouraged to send potential adopters a copy of “So You Want to Own a Pit Bull” which is included in the back of this handbook.\nFinally, schedule a home visit. This will be exactly like the visit that was done at your home prior to you becoming a foster parent. We are not judging people on the way they live. We simply want to ensure our dogs are being adopted into safe homes. Again, if the applicant has nothing to hide, allowing a home visit shouldn’t be an issue. This is another time when you should trust your gut. If something seems off it probably is. And obviously, if the place is filthy, has other animals (or children) that do not appear to be cared for or anything else that sets off an alarm, politely conclude the visit and deny the application via email to eliminate any possible safety issues. Then report the situation to Steph so the proper people can be notified.\nOccasionally you will receive an application from someone wanting to adopt a dog to be kept outside, used for guard work or for another use deemed unacceptable by the CPR Fund. Our dogs are to be kept as INDOOR COMPANION ANIMALS ONLY. Applications requesting dogs for any other purpose are summarily denied, regardless of how nice the people may be. Every once in a while someone will try to wiggle their way around this policy. The person will submit a new application for different dog and leave off whatever it was that got them denied. Since there is only one person receiving and distributing the applications, the same person would receive this second application and most likely remember the previous application’s denial. The adoption application screener is very good at her job so very few applications get past her but, be aware, it could happen. We have also had cases where the applicant slipped up and mentioned something about having been denied by CPR Fund in the past. If that happens, try to get as much information as possible and contact Steph. Also contact Steph if the applicant shares any information that may need the attention of law enforcement, animal control, etc. Perhaps they tell you their previous dog froze to death while living outside in Chicago in January. Maybe one died of heartworm infestation, which is medical neglect. Basically, anything that concerns you should be discussed with Steph. Neglect and cruelty cases MUST be reported.\nOnce you have chosen a forever family for your foster, set up a meeting place to pick up the adoption fee and give the dog to them. The CPR Fund accepts cash or check only. If they want to pay with a credit card they can do so via Paypal at email@example.com. If they choose this option be sure to check with Steph to make sure the fee has been paid before you release the dog. Your meeting place can be a local park, Petco/Petsmart, your home or wherever is convenient and where you feel safe. Be sure to bring your dog’s shot records/rabies tag (if you have them), microchip information, CPR Fund business cards, any chronic medication the dog may be taking and anything else that should go home with the dog. Regarding medications, CPR Fund will not adopt out a dog that is currently being medicated for a curable condition (i.e. upper respiratory infection, intestinal parasites, etc.) The adopter will have to wait until the course of treatment is completed. Under no circumstances should a visibly ill dog be sent home.\nInform the adopter that their new dog comes with a free 30 day Shelter Care pet insurance policy. If they would like to keep the insurance beyond the 30 days they will need to contact Shelter Care directly and set it up with them as we are not affiliated with and have no control over the Shelter Care company.\nAlso educate the adopter regarding the microchip. The microchip is, and always will be, registered to the CPR Fund. But by logging on to the 24 Pet Watch website the new owner will be able to add his or her own information as well. Please emphasize the importance of registering the chip. Approximately 80% of dogs who are lost are never reunited with their families- that’s why we’re so busy! By registering the chip, the numbers are reversed- over 80% of dogs with a registered microchip are reunited with their owners.\nLet the adopter know that within a day or two of the adoption they will receive an email containing their new dog’s medical record, microchip registration instructions and details on redeeming their free 30 day Shelter Care insurance policy. Tell them that if they do not receive this information within a few days they should contact the rescue. Also, you might want to suggest they check their spam folder and to be on the lookout for an email with a subject line mentioning their new pet- often times people think it is junk mail and just delete it.\nFinally, discuss what will happen if the adoption does not work out. If they make a decision to return the dog within seven days of the adoption we will take the dog back and refund the fee. After seven days we will still take the dog back but the fee will not be refunded. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THEY TO GIVE THE DOG TO ANYONE EXCEPT A CPR FUND VOLUNTEER. We have had adopters dump their dogs at the pound, vets’ offices or be found running at large by the police. We are able to track each dog and where it belongs through the microchip so if the dog finds itself in any of these situations it is very unlikely that we will not find out about it. And when we do we will enforce any possible penalties associated with their actions.\nAnswer any questions the adopter may have and give them a CPR Fund business card so they have the rescue’s contact information. Have them sign the adoption agreement. Collect the fee. And that’s it.\nADOPTION COMPLETED! See, wasn’t that easy?\n_____ Inform Steph that your foster has gone home\n_____ Forward a copy of the Adoption Application you received in your email to\nSteph@cprfund.com. Do this as soon as possible. As soon as an adoption is entered\ninto our system, Shelter Care insurance starts the clock on the insurance policy so this\nis very time-sensitive.\n_____ Send adoption fee and signed agreement to the address below. Please do your best to\nmail it in a timely manner. We use the adoption fee from one dog to pay for the vetting\nof the next one. If the adopter paid with PayPal you still need to mail the agreement.\nChecks are to be mailed to*: CPR Fund PO BOX 303 Lowell, IN 46356\n_____ If you are planning to continue fostering you may keep all supplies given to you by\nCPR Fund. If not, all items must be returned to the rescue.\nYou have just finished reading the bare bones of foster care. Although fostering can be very demanding of both your time and patience, the rewards are immeasurable. As stated, there is no “typical” foster case. Each dog is as individual as a fingerprint. It may take some time for you to find your niche but, once you do, you’ll be very glad you did. And again, if you have ANY questions, comments or suggestions we are here for you.\nAppendix I: CPR Fund Veterinarians\nAnimal Care Center of Chicago - NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED*\n1248 W.

Please remember the CPR Fund volunteers are not veterinarians. These are treatments that, in our experience, have been successful in treating some of the more minor ailments we see in our fosters. These are only recommendations and are not meant to replace the advice of a licensed veterinarian. Please use common sense when applying this information to your foster dog’s situation. When in doubt, ask!\nAllergies/Hives/Itching: Many dogs have allergies to substances common in their environment- fleas, pollen, food, etc. If you notice your dog scratching excessively, first check him for fleas. If you notice live fleas or “flea dirt” immediately give him a flea bath and apply Frontline once the dog is dry. If no fleas are seen or you note a minor case of hives administer Benadryl (diphenhydramine) as follows: Less than 30 pounds- ½ tablet* or 12.5 mg 30 to 50 pounds- 1 tablet* or 25 mg Greater than 50 pounds- 2 tablets* or 50 mg *Liquid Benadryl is also acceptable ** PLEASE NOTE: A severe allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis, is a medical emergency. Anaphylaxis is a severe, whole-body allergic reaction which can be fatal. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, abnormal (high-pitched) breathing sounds, rapid or weak pulse, blueness of the skin (including the lips or nail beds), fainting, hives and generalized itching, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain or cramping, skin redness, nasal congestion, cough. YOUR DOG WILL LOOK AND ACT VERY SICK! If you suspect your dog is having an anaphylactic reaction immediately give two Benadryl and head for the vet! Also note: Benadryl may make your dog sleepy so avoid using it with Valerian or Dramamine.", "domain": "pet"}

I figure I owe him a tribute on the first anniversary of his death.\nFirst, to explain the elephant marker on his grave. The only toy he came to us with was an elephant and we were told it was a favorite of his. We replaced the elephant over the years, but they always remained his favorite. We had two in the house when he died and we buried him with one and we kept one that Madeline has in her menagerie of stuffed animals on her bed. We thought an elephant marking his final resting spot was appropriate and that he would have loved it.\nWe found Wicket through a Shih Tzu rescue organization in Chicago. We actually had gone to their event to see another dog, but came to find out that that dog already had someone just waiting to take him home. So we started looking around at the other dogs and found one scratching at his cage and making all sorts of noise with an underbite. I loved him from the minute I saw him. He was already seven years old and had endured some trauma in his life once he left the people who had had him since he was a puppy. He was named Kokomo at that time and we knew we would have to change that. We asked to spend time with him and he instantly sat in my lap and never left it for close to ten years.\nWe had issues in the beginning as he chased our cats everywhere and had a hard time warming up to Brian. But we got through it and he ended up being a wonderful dog. We had many adventures together, including welcoming a new little being into our home when we had Madeline. Wicket could be ornery with a lot of people, but he was rarely that way with me. I seriously worried about how he would handle Madeline, but he loved her and showered her with kisses, just like he did to everyone. For an older dog, he was extremely patient with Madeline and she loved him.\nHis last year was hard. He had been taking medicine for a heart problem for many years, but I think the years of hardship finally caught up to him. He always loved his walks, but in that last year, he stopped his walks all together. He just slept on the couch most days, instead of playing and running around the house. Having a toddler made it hard to give him the attention he needed and deserved and I still beat myself up about that. I just have to hope that he knows how much I loved him. He was my first baby. A few days before we put him down, he was barely able to breathe and I think he was mostly gone already. He looked up at me, gave me one last lick and then basically left us. He wasn't himself after that and I knew we had to let him go. I knew that he had held on as long as he did for us and now we needed to let him go and stop his suffering. We had someone come to the house so he was surrounded by all his things and was at peace as he had always hated the vet. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.\nI could fill pages with stories about Wicket. He was a loving, cranky, licky, stubborn, joyous and playful dog. I have so many wonderful memories of him and with him. For those that have never had a dog, it is hard to explain what they mean to you as a family member. Dogs just want to be with you, simply put. They don't judge you, they don't expect you to act a certain way or look a certain way. They just love you. That was what Wicket was for me. And it is hard to replace that once it is gone. I will miss him for a very long time and I certainly won't forget him. Until I see you again, Wicket...", "domain": "pet"}

Growing up, I had miniature poodles as pets and aspired, since the 7th grade, to have my own show dogs. When Karl and I were married, in 1974, my miniature poodle, Happy, was in our wedding party. Now, I am living my poodle dreams, having finished ten champions in 2001. Since then in 2006, I am listed as the # 2 breeder in the US for CHampion Toy Poodles, and in 2008 as # 1 breeder in the US for CHampion Miniature Poodles as stated in the Poodle Variety Magazine. In December 2017 was honored to become an AKC Breeder of Merit 'Platinum' for Poodles!\nAll of our poodles are raised and bred, with love, in our home. My breeding dogs are personally selected and genetically tested to produce the healthiest possible pups with the best temperament and trainability. Because our poodles are our children, it is imperative that I place each dog into the very best home - for it. We don't put a square peg into a round hole; we want our pups to have forever families. Health and temperament are first and foremost in our breeding goals.\nOver the years, ASH'S-MYSTICAL POODLES has proudly placed pups in working-dog homes and our poodles are represented in agility, search and rescue and serve as handicapped assistance dogs, as well as loving - and much loved - family members.\nWhen you receive your poodle pup, remember: he/she will love you unconditionally; please, treat them they same way. The more time, attention and love given to your pup, the stronger the bond. The stronger the bond, the more you will realize that poodles are not just another dog, they are the closest thing to a human with four-legs that you will find. Training time is an investment in your future happiness.\nTo put a little Magic in your life, get a poodle. But beware: MPS (Multiple Poodle Syndrome) is very contagious. Perhaps, like many of our clients and friends, you'll find that one is not enough.\nNow, here are some tips, and some lists, to help you get ready for the new pup.\nWelcome to our family\nThere's no better feeling than knowing a new puppy will soon be on its way into your heart and into your home. If you've had a puppy before, you realize that preparation is the key to making the transition from breeder's home to your home easy. And, if this is your maiden voyage, our booklet, Welcoming Home Your New Puppy, given to every puppy owner, will be a more thorough resource guide for you. That booklet explains, in more detail, many of the points that are only briefly mentioned here, as well as brand new ones.\nHowever, you will need to have a few things on hand before the puppy arrives, as well as preparing yourself and your family mentally. A game plan will make the transition smooth - - for both you and the pup.\nHere are some points to discuss within your family so that everyone can agree on a routine for raising your newest family member.\nMentally planning for the pup\n- One adult in the household must accept the ultimate responsibility for the pup. This includes feeding, elimination, making scheduled vet and grooming appointments and checking to insure other household members are, in fact, doing their puppy chores in a timely and reliable manner.\n- Housebreaking is often easier using a crate, and it can also provide a safe \"den\" for the puppy. Dogs are social animals and want to be with their people. Discuss the best place to place the crate, like a wide hallway or family room. You may also move the crate into the bedroom of the main caregiver upon retiring, until the pup adjusts to its new home and is sleeping throughout the night.\n- Never crate a pup longer than three or four hours without planning a break for relieving itself, getting a drink of water and having a snack. Playtime is also important. If you must leave your dog unattended for a longer period of time, decide if you will gate the kitchen or use a well-vented laundry room. Perhaps a friend or neighbor can drop in for a mid-day puppy break while you are at work, just until your puppy is used to its new home environment. And during this adjustment period, plan ahead, in case you must work overtime, too.\n- Routine makes puppy raising easier. Decide where and when the puppy will be fed, watered and taken outdoors to relieve itself. Routine gives your new pup a sense of security and helps with housebreaking and training.\n- Learning basic obedience can be a fun and educational way to spend time with your dog. Check into private instructors or group classes. Dogs need to know the rules, which every member of the family should follow fairly and consistently.\n- Every pup needs to be socialized with people of both sexes and all ages. Plan activities that will socialize your pup with other animal and environments, while not overwhelming the newest family member. Read the article on our web site on Early Puppy Socialization to become familiar with the \"do's and don'ts.\"\n- Find a veterinarian. You may wish to visit several clinics in your area that have been recommended by friends and family members. Look for a knowledgeable, friendly staff and clean environment. Make certain you understand the importance of the puppy's inoculation schedule before you begin training and socialization. Never take your puppy outside your home until your veterinarian gives you an OK. Diseases, such as Parvo, can overwhelm a young pup. Read the article on our web site on Canine Parvo Virus; it may save your dog's life.\n- Find a groomer. Again, visit several shops in your area that have been recommended. Ask your veterinarian if he has a preference, too. You want your poodle to look forward to being groomed. Using an understanding groomer is the best way to gain your pup's trust and avoid future problems with bathing and clipping. Start the pup off with a patient, gentle person who will maximize the experience and help the pup learn that going to the groomer is fun.\n- Build a support system. Keep a list of people you can call for information, ideas and help. Of course, your breeder and veterinarian will be included. Others to include are your feed store, groomer, poison control center and emergency veterinary hospital that is open nights and weekends.\nShopping List for the New Pup\nThe basic shopping list for your new pup may include these items:\n- Food - check with Marie to determine the proper sized kibble\n- A few cartons of plain yogurt to mix in, by the teaspoon, with dry kibble for the first few days to ease any digestive problems and stress diarrhea\n- Bowls - at least 2 water bowls and 1 food dish\n- Pooper-scooper and plastic bag(s) or separate trash for dog droppings\n- A foldable water dish or a non-spill bowl is great for later outings\n- Crate - all of the pups come with a crate, so please check with Marie before purchasing\n- Crate pan or crate pad - or both - sized to your crate (really is not necessary to begin with, an old towel or t-shirt that smells like you works great). But if you want to get an open wire crate for future or to use in a family area best to get one that will work when the pup is an adult and divide off as a puppy; check with Marie\n- Baby gate(s) - if you must confine the pup to a kitchen or laundry room\n- Exercise pen - if your yard is not securely fenced, or if a very small pup may escape under a fence or gate, you will need a secure area for the pup to play and another for it to relieve itself. You may also construct secure areas with mesh or plastic wire and a few fence posts. Be careful that the pup cannot catch its head in the fencing material.\nNote: The best rule is never let a new pup go outdoors alone. Initially, you must be with it to direct it to the proper place to relieve itself, and then to praise, praise, praise. During outdoor playtime, the pup must be supervised. If you have a swimming pool - create a safe haven away from the pool, just as you would for a toddler.\n- Leash - leather is easiest on your hands and recommended for training\n- Retractable leash - for when the pup is older and wants to explore on walks\n- All pups come with a collar and a leash, make certain to have an ID TAG\n- Toys that are size appropriate for your pup. Pups enjoy a variety of textures:\n- Plush toys - with nothing the pup can remove and swallow or choke on\n- Kong toy - great for teething and for playing\n- Booda bones, cow's ears, beef tendons, Tracheas\n- Bully Sticks (either beef or buffalo) from the US, Argentina, or Brazil\n- American made large, knotted rawhide bones (if you want to use rawhide but not recommended)\n- Hard rubber ball, Frisbee and tug - - for outdoor playtime\n- NO chopped or formed bones - they splinter\n- NO stick type rawhide - they can jam into the throat of the pup or dog\n- NO pigs ears, rolls, snouts - they are too greasy for the puppy and your\n- NO old shoes or old socks or other household objects\nNote: Throw out all small pieces to prevent the pup from swallowing them whole and either choking or having an intestinal obstruction.\n- Large stuffed animal (puppy proofed) for the pup to cuddle when in the crate or its bed in the kitchen or laundry room. And, place this cuddly-toy in the crate with the pup when you move it into your room at night, too.\n- Bitter apple spray - to keep the pup from chewing inappropriately\n- A white vinegar and water solution 50-50, in a spray bottle - accidents will happen\n- Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo or a very gentle conditioning shampoo for the pup\n- Baby-sized toothbrush and canine active enzyme toothpaste, purchased from your vet; using toothpaste for people is dangerous for your pet\n- Slicker brush, pin brush, greyhound comb (metal comb) and nail clippers\n- A pair of long-nose hair-pullers or hemostats (without locks), ear powder, cotton balls and rubbing alcohol to properly maintain the poodle's ears\nNote: Do not attempt to remove the hair from inside the ear until your vet tech, veterinarian or groomer has shown you the proper method. To avoid a lifetime of fear and anxiety in your poodle, have a professional introduce you and the pup to this procedure.\nHelpful household items to have on hand are\nWhether you are picking your pup up at the airport, or driving it all the way home in a car, here are some items to have on hand for the initial journey\nPlease remember: Your pup may be nervous and stressed. It has been through many new experiences in a very short time. This is the first time it has been away from the only home it has known. How would you feel in the same situation?\n- Plain white paper towels\n- Water for \"washing\" any messes\n- Zip lock bags to contain the \"mess\" and those used paper towels\n- Old sheet to spread across the seat area - and a clean one, just in case\n- 3 or 4 large plastic garbage bags to use under the sheet or to contain a soiled sheet\n- A second person - - if you are driving - - to deal with the puppy; better yet, let them drive so that you and the pup can begin bonding immediately\n- Bottled water for the puppy to drink - and a bowl\n- A chew or soft toy - - to divert the pup's attention\n- A tape/CD of soft music to soothe the pup - no heavy metal on this trip, please\n- A light collar will be on the puppy when it arrives; and a leash will be on top of the kennel\n- Leave other pets at home, as well as small children, so that the trip can be as soothing as possible for the pup\nBe patient and stay calm. This is not the time to begin training or scolding. Expect the worse, so no matter what happens, you are mentally, and physically, prepared to nurture the pup and offer it comfort, understanding and love.\nA few words of common advice: pups are pups; they aren't human children. Training that is fair and consistent leads to a much happier pet. The Internet is a wonderful tool for research, but please remember not to believe or do everything that you read there. It is important that you check with your breeder, first. You may also find information on a variety of subjects. However, please check with your breeder or veterinary health care provider before using ANY diets, supplements or products that you hear about on bulletin boards or in chat rooms. I do NOT recommend a raw diet. Please go to this web site and read the information carefully: www.mybluedog.com/rawmeat.html\nHaving a new puppy in the family is wonderful. Quickly, your pup will come to understand the routine you've carefully planned. In a short time, the pup will be ready to explore its world and begin learning obedience commands. As the months fly by, you'll wake up one morning to notice that the adorable pup is now a beautiful, confident and loving adult dog. Of course, this is when many clients decide to add a second poodle to their home. Other clients decide to get two pups at the same time, to keep each other company. As long as you have the time to train both pups, and socialize them individually, as well as together, this is fine.\nWelcome to our family. We enjoy receiving stories about our pups, and pictures, too. We're happy to answer questions and have a network of nutritional, health care and behavioral resources to share, if needed. I'm always ready to help you enhance your poodle experience or to offer tips and advice.\nTaking time to plan for your new pup's arrival is essential to your overall success. I hope you've found this information, and our more extensive booklet, Welcoming Home Your New Puppy, helpful. The time, training and love you invest now will pay off handsomely in the future. You're poodle will gladly provide you with unconditional love for many years to come.\nBest wishes to you and your pup,\nAsh's Mystical Poodles", "domain": "pet"}

Front Street will also work with people who find lost pets to help locate the owner.\n“If an animal is healthy, we always ask the finder if they would be willing to hold onto the pet and search for the owner,” said Ryan Hinderman, the shelter’s customer service manager. “By doing so, the finder can use many strategies that the shelter can’t, such as walking the animal around the neighborhood and posting on Craigslist, Nextdoor and social media sites. These animals are often reunited with their families without ever needing to impact the shelter’s kennel space or experience the stress of the shelter environment.”\nFront Street continues to have animals available for adoption.

Too much popularity can compromise the health and temperament of any given breed--think Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers, etc.--and in order to make money selling puppies, one is required to own many bitches and to breed them every single season. As a \"hobby breeder,\" I breed only 1-2 litters per year. My emphasis is on the show ring, but in most cases not all pups in a litter are of show quality. This means that puppies destined to be household companions exist from birth, and are raised to be sound in temperament and body so they can provide years of loving companionship to their human families.\nBeing a breeder is a serious responsibility. The challenges are many: to raise a healthy, socialized, happy bitch; to find a stud dog who is equally good; to whelp and raise sound, social puppies. This requires researching pedigrees, understanding how genetics work, evaluating the bitch for her strengths and weaknesses as well as evaluating potential stud dogs, doing dietary homework, and being prepared for complicated pregnancies and whelpings which may require veterinary intercession and substantial expense. Another challenge is evaluating the puppies as show and pet prospects, sorting out their individual personalities, and socializing them.\nThe toughest challenge, however, is evaluating potential homes. When one has invested so much time and love in bringing a litter into the world and raising it for several months, one must be sure the puppies are going into the very best homes. Responsible, reputable breeders evaluate the potential homes just as they evaluate the puppies, and try to make the perfect match. Puppies are not peas in a pod, but develop individual personalities as they mature. Some are extremely outgoing and thus are more appropriate for an active family, while others will do better in quieter homes. This is why it's vital for a prospective owner to answer a series of questions about the lifestyle the dog will encounter. But puppy buyers should feel equally comfortable asking questions about a breeder's experience, philosophies, lifestyle, and goals.\nPuppy mills, pet shops, and high-volume commercial breeders and brokers breed and/or sell puppies strictly for profit, not because they love them, and not because they wish the best for the welfare of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed. Reputable breeders refuse to sell their pups as breeding stock to such operations. For this reason, responsible hobby breeders are very careful qualifying potential puppy buyers, often have questionnaires, and provide contracts spelling out ownership terms for people who wish to purchase breeding prospects.\nNone of my puppies or older dogs, including retired champions, will be sold as breeding stock except in the following cases:\n--To individuals known to me or to other reputable breeders, and who have experience in exhibition and/or breeding; or\n--To newcomers who are committed to first achieving a championship on their dog or bitch, who will conduct health tests prior to breeding, and who will initially work closely with me to learn the breed so they may develop their own physically and temperamentally sound breeding program.\nI welcome Cardigan Welsh Corgi newcomers to the world of exhibition and breeding, and am happy to assist them in any way. But the welfare of this wonderful breed should always come before any desire for awards and recognition.", "domain": "pet"}

Many of You already know our girl, Holly.\nHolly, a Golden Retriever/ Little River (Nova Scotia) Duck Toller who come to Briden Farm in April, 2021. She’s 8 years old, lived most of her life inside with Seniors. While she adjusted well to Farm Life, and gets along well with everyone here, she’d rather be inside than out. She’s exactly what I wanted, except for her desire to remain inside, and her choosing my Better Half to be her Pet, and not Me! We love each other, but she’s just not really “My Dog”.\nSo, we needed, another Dog, one that will be happier to be outside, especially when I’m out working, and perhaps a pup we can train to help even more around the Farm. That said, just yesterday, Holly helped me herd a chicken from one area to another while Rocky bounced around and tried to figure things out! It’s quite a thing to see, when using mostly hand signals, a dog responds and works to help you in such a way. That said, after we were done, she was done for the day! “I did my job, now I’m going in the house”, seems to be her motto!\nSo, along come Rocky, our Golden Labrador Retriever who is about 8 months old, as compared to Holly at 8 years. It’s taken some time, but the two dogs are starting to spend more time together, with both starting to enjoy their time together. However, Tis Gris, our 17 year old cat, is not quite sure! Although she rules over the Dogs!\nRocky, who is pictured at the top of this Post, is definitely my Dog, or perhaps I’m His! He stays on his mat when in the house, and comes to me to check in about every 20 minutes or so. He enjoys it outside, and enjoys spending time with me outside and stays with me, and checks in regularly when I’m outside working, He’s very responsive to my hand and sound signals. I give voice commands when needed, but have always mainly employed hand and sound signals when training and handling dogs. Since he’s a big boy, but only 8 months old, he’s sometimes rambunctious, but very loving and his gentleness will come with age. For me, he’s the Dog I’ve been missing! There’s something very intrinsic to having a dog who loves and trusts you and whom you can count on when you need them.\nSo, now, when you come visit us at Briden Farm, you will probably be met by our two Dogs, Holly and My Boy Rocky! We await your visit, and remember friends and family are always welcome! ;).", "domain": "pet"}

Installs easily into any door or wall!\nInstalls easily into your exterior door or wall.\nIf you are going to cut a hole into your door or wall shouldn't the pet door look great and provide an energy efficient seal? Our Pet Doors are the most energy efficient pet doors on the market and are easy to install.\nDoor can be locked from the interior for security.\nDoor Mount vs. Wall MountDoor Mount\nDoor-mounted doggie doors are what most people imagine when they think of a dog door. The main advantage of this traditional style of dog door is that it is fairly easy to install. If you look at our installation videos, you can see that anyone with some modest home improvement skills can install a Freedom Pet Pass door-mounted dog door.\nThe main drawback of a door-mounted door is that it lacks the flexibility offered by a wall-mounted unit. Door-mounted units are limited in their location to exterior doors. They also cannot accommodate many of the pet-friendly situations that wall mounts can. The final slight drawback is that a door-mounted dog door is slightly more expensive than a comparable wall mount ? though installation costs for a wall mount can easily overwhelm that difference.\nAdvantages of door mounting include:\nEasiest type of installation\nDogs typically accustomed to location\nDisadvantages of door mounting include:\nLimited choice of location in house (exterior doors only)\nLimited options for where pet is let outside\nSlightly more expensive than wall mount\nOur door mount installs into standard exterior doors measuring 1 3/4\" thick. Trim and locking security panel included.\n1\" thick rigid vinyl security door mount frame with flap system completely assembled\n1 3/4\" self framing rigid vinyl door mount trim\nDurable acrylic security door with knob and locking pin\nTrim Mount Screws\nInstallation tips, training tips, and warranty\nMany people don't realize that wall-mounted dog doors are even an option. However, wall-mounted doggie doors can open up a world of possibilities because you are not limited to human doorways for where your pets come and go. Wall mount doors give your dogs their own entrance and exit that can be customized to meet their and your needs. They easily accommodate ramps and steps. They also allow for limiting your dog's access on one side or the other of the door, a crate on the inside, a fenced-in area on the outside, you are only limited by your imagination!\nThe main disadvantage of wall mounting versus door mounting is the skill level required to safely cut and finish an opening in your home's wall. Some fairly serious home improvement skills are needed to install and trim out a wall mount door. We don't provide detailed instructions for wall mounted doors because every wall and house are unique. If you can't immediately visualize how you would install a wall-mounted doggie door, you should probably budget for having a professional do the installation.\nAdvantages of wall mounting include:\nFlexibility where the pet door is located\nOption to put ramp and/or steps for pet\nAbility to limit access to specific areas of house and/or outdoors\nNailing flange included\nDisadvantages of wall mounting include:\nProfessional installation recommended.\nWall Mount includes an optional nailing flange to assist with installation.\nHere are some benefits of having a pet door according to industry experts:\nPet can go outdoors to \"use the facilities\". It is very uncomfortable for your pet to hold it for extended periods of time.\nHelps keep your pet active enabling him to stay fit and trim exercising outside throughout the day.\nThe outdoors provides your pet with mental stimulation which helps keep your pet alert.\nReduces problem behavior resulting from boredom.\nBoredom results in problem behaviors such as compulsive chewing of objects in your home.\nFreedom can improve pet confidence and attitude.\nProvides for an emergency escape for your pet from danger inside such as a fire or dangerous intruder, and from danger outside such as unpredictable weather.\nAllows your pet to check on unusual noises.\nAllows your pet to scare off intruders.\nNo more scratches on your doors or walls.\nFewer accidents indoors.\nFewer walks are necessary because your pet will exercise outdoors when your gone.\nNo more opening doors for your pet.\nLess likely to need expensive kennel services.\nMany experts agree that pet doors are actually good for your pet. Pet doors give your pet self- esteem by giving him freedom to move about the house and outdoors as he pleases. It also assists in overcoming common behavioral issues such as housebreaking, destructive chewing, excessive barking, and clawing and scratching furniture.\nRough Opening vs. Pet Opening\nWhen ordering and installing, you need to be aware of the difference between the pet opening and the rough opening.\nThe rough opening is the hole in the wall or human door that needs to be cut to allow for installation of the pet door. The rough opening has to be larger than the pet opening in order to accommodate the entire pet door assembly.\nThe pet opening is the area in the pet door that is available for your dog to pass through. This area should be large enough for your dog to comfortably enter and exit without crouching or jumping. Details on the best process for determining the appropriate pet door size are below.\nInterior View with Locking Security Door Panel (included with all models)\nCorrectly Sizing Your Pet Door\nGetting a pet door of the correct size is important for the comfort and health of your pet. The more comfortably your dog can pass through a door, the easier it will be for them to use it now and in the future. You want your dog to be able to pass through the door without jumping, crouching, or bumping its back.\nUnfortunately, you cannot correctly size a door just by using your dog’s breed or weight. Variations in heights and stepping ability make it impossible to ensure a correct fit. The best way to size your pet door is with the cardboard cutout test outlined below. This will make sure that you have a perfectly-sized door for your dog. Remember, dogs tend to get bigger and less nimble as they age, so you want them to be able to get through the door comfortably without squeezing.\nCardboard Cutout Test\n1.This sizing method requires a big piece of corrugated cardboard. Start with the pet opening size you think is most appropriate for the pet in mind.\n2.Cutout either the 6x10, 9x13 or 11x17 pet opening rectangle out of the cardboard up high and fold it at the bottom so that when the piece of cardboard is placed in a doorway, the top of the hole of the rectangle is approximately one inch to an inch and a half higher than your pet, at the withers or shoulders.\n3.Step on the folded end of the cardboard, and invite your pet through the opening. Watch for clearance high and low.\n4.If the size of the cutout you try is inappropriate, change to the next size up or down as required. Remember, it is always better to err on the side of being too large.\nHow to Install Our Pet Door into a Door\nOur pet door installation expert shows step by step how to install a Freedom Pet Pass pet door into a raised panel door. The same instructions apply to flat panel doors.\nShort Edited Video Previewing of all 5 installation steps.\nThe Freedom Pet Pass comes with a two piece window lite frame that holds our pet door into your home door.

Trim the interior and exterior of home to match the existing decor for a fantastic custom look.\nStep #1. Adding support block and cross member inside wall cavity.\nThis side simulates the exterior side of a residential wall where our large wall mount pet door will be applied. Remember to factor in height off the ground, location of utilities, and location of wall studs.\nAdding a horizontal cross member at the top of the rough cut opening secures the exterior and interior wall covering. The cross member also provides a surface to attach the pet door frame.\nDraw a line locating the upper edge of cross member on both sides of the wall studs.\nPlace the bottom of the support block on the line and screw into place. Repeat this step on the opposite wall stud.\nScrew cross member into the bottom of the support blocks.\nStep #2 for Large Wall Mounted Pet Doors.\nAdditional blocking may be required if raising height of pet door application to accommodate pet.\nApply upper and lower support blocks and cross members to accommodate the necessary height of the pet door application.\nStep #2 for Small Wall Mounted Pet Doors.\nAdditional blocking will be required when installing small wall mounted pet doors because the pet door frame is more narrow the wall studs in residential homes.\nSimply add the blocking to the wall cavity as shown.\nStep #3.

If you are not the do it yourself home owner, we suggest hiring a reputable contractor, window installer, or qualified handyman to provide you with this service. Our dog door allows the dog door installer to use their building experience and knowledge effectively for a custom application.\nHow to I determine the correct size for my dog?\nDetermine the proper height and width of your dog door pet flap opening by simulating pet door width and height at home. Do this with adhesive tape, tape measure, and an interior or exterior door. Have your largest pet pass through an interior door that is open just wide enough for it to pass through. Measure that distance and choose a door pet flap opening slightly wider than that distance. Wedge the door open to that inside width then place adhesive tape across the opening from the exterior door to door jam slightly higher than your dogs back to simulate the height of the pet flap opening. Measure down the corresponding height of the pet flap opening and place a second piece of adhesive tape across the door to the jam at the bottom to simulate the bottom of the pet flap opening. If your largest and smallest pet easily passes through the box you simulated you will verify the pet door size necessary and the installation height. Doing this will help you determine what pet door size your pet requires and approximately where to install your pet door with regards to your application.\nIs the dog door easy to install?\nYes!

Thank you so much! \" --Beth\n\"I wanted to share -- I love the pet door I ordered. The door is so much better than the one I had before (2 see-thru flaps with magnets at the bottom).

I'm recommending it to several others I know who have thought about installing a dog door!\n\" --Sherry W.\n\"You guys are fantastic. We always make sure to spread the word about your doggy doors anytime we hear of someone looking into one or questioning one.

Thanks!\" --Todd F.\n\"Last year I purchased the Large Dog Door for the wall, and was really impressed with the attention I received that enabled me to make choices and have it sent to Australia. After xmas I managed to get some time and installed the door myself. What a great product, no more drafts coming into my home, my dogs quickly adapted and used the door and even better, this door my large Lab cannot crash her way through. Thanks again for your professionalism and assistance.\" --Lydia S., Melbourne Australia\n\"Minus 30 degree celsius and no breeze gets through and no frost on the inside of the flap, I think that is impressive.\" --Alberta, Canada\n\"Writing this from Loveland Colorado! Want you to know that you have an excellent pet door. We have installed one at our house in town and it does NOT leak outside air. Fact of the matter is that the temperature on the room side is the same as the room be it winter or summer! We have NEVER found it other than perfectly closed and sealed. Our cat has made a game of going in and out. It is installed on the north side of the house which is the coldest side. We are planning on installing a second one at our mountain house on the west side, the side that the winds hit us on from the Big Thompson Canyon. We have absolute confidence in this product for that high wind application. We have hurricane force winds here in the Colorado mountains and have personally experienced over 100 mph winds. The old double flap cat door is not at all adequate and lacks the insulating properties of your pet door. When the wind storms come we had to stuff foam in the old door but after we installed your pet door we could forget about having to do that! Freedom for us and freedom for the cat. So if you are considering purchasing this product just do it! It is quality through and through and is built to last and protect your home from heat, cold and wind.\"\" --Maryann from Loveland, CO\n\"Thank you very much for nice product and service. The door is already installed and dog is using it right away.\" --Igor K.\n\"I usually don?t write letters about products, but in this case I had to. I have had dog doors for 30 years and have never been so pleased with a product. I recently purchased your large door for my pack and I mean pack, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Boxer, Labrador, and Boston Terrier. As I live in the country, in Alberta Canada, I have always had problems with weather as in wind and the bugs in the summer and cold as well as wind in the winter with all the previous doors. Not with this one. My husband has nicknamed your door, ?Fort Knox?. It is absolutely air tight and looks great. I can?t say enough good things about it and is worth every penny. It is so nice to purchase an item online, get great customer service as well as the product as advertised. I?ve recommended your door to everyone that I know who needs a pet door. Thanks so much!\" --Mary P.\n\"This door is great. It only took 10 min of treat training and a few days of reminding. It's framed Inside and out to fit in our 1920's craftsman house, fits right in. Love it!\" --Max\n\"We moved to a new house and had to leave your pet door there...I ordered another for the new house and finished the install today. Once again, thanks so much. Your dog doors are, hands down, the best made and the easiest to install. The one we left at the old house was as good as new (even though it was 3 or 4 years old) and had been used by 2 to 4 dogs for years (german shorthair pointers). This time the door is on the windward side of the house but having experience with your doors, I know it will not be affected by the wind and rain. I recommend your doors whenever possible. Thanks again.\" --Tim T., Waterford, VA\n\"I did a lot of research before I purchased a wall entry door, and I couldn't be happier with it. With winter coming on, my biggest concern was air leakage. After installing it and seeing how well it sealed, my only worry came from my dog, who can be a little timid (I did just open up a large hole in an exterior wall after all!). It took some retaining and encouragement, but now she uses it on her own without a problem. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for a terrific product, and one that's not made in China at that!\" --Chris A., Port Townsend, WA\n\"We had one of your dog doors in our house in Minnesota and it was truly awesome (it actually was one of the features that helped sell the house!)...we have moved to Utah, and need another dog door!\" --Trish P.\n\"I just wanted to let you know that your pet door withstood the wrath of hurricane Irene. That door didn't move at all. My canopy on the back porch was bent like a toothpick so the winds were pretty fierce out there. IF you ever need a reference for this door just tell them to call me. It is FANTASTIC! You are a genius to invent this weather proof doggie door. My 7 lb yorkie can get through this with no problem. Thanks again for such a great product. It is worth every cent and more.\" --Mary Ellen R., Holtwood, PA\n\"We've had the petdoor installed for some months now. It took our Corgi a little week to get used to it, but now he runs in and out without trouble. The door is all worth the money and there is no draught or anything to complain about :-) Our dog is happy and we feel good when he is home alone, because we know he can run freely in and out. Thank you for a first class product and a good supplement to a happy dog life.\"\" --Rasmus and Anne D., Denmark\n\"Well, my wife and I have waited 5 weeks to write a review for your pet door. We couldn't take the cold air dumping into our walkout basement anymore. Tried 4 or 5 other doors that claim no leakage, or closes with wind pounding on it with no luck. Stumbled upon your pet door in search of the best...and let us tell you, WE FOUND IT!!! This door has to be seen and used to understand how great it is. It's still hard to believe how well it works. Now we keep the pet door open all day long without cold air or critters getting in.....and our 2 Cavaliers love the freedom! We've had below zero degree weather with 40 mph winds pounding on it, and it closes every time with absolutely no leakage, really! It's such a nice pet door, that we put in a whole new door because it was nicer than our 32\" door. As the other reviews state, it's really that good and worth the price. You won't regret it one single bit.....Don't hesitate, wish we did this first time around. Thanks to your help we got it right this time!\" --Jerry T., New York\n\"As custom green homebuilders in Oregon, quality, high performance components are critical to what we do. Early discussions with our most recent customers made two things very apparent: they wanted a new home built with extreme energy efficiency in mind?an incredibly low energy home built to the Passive House Standard (www.passivehouse.us), but one that also held a place for their dog Pippen and had his needs in mind as well. Our initial research turned up a few options, but only one that had actually been tested for airtightness?your pet door! We decided to give it a shot, knowing that to meet the strict Passive House certification requirements we would have to reach extremely low levels of air infiltration on our blower door test. Initially we planned to do our own testing on just the pet door before committing ourselves and cutting a hole in the door to the backyard. However, upon opening up the freshly shipped package, it became quite apparent that the quality of construction and tenacity of the air seal were both very, very high. We installed the pet door without hesitation, and suffice it to say, the pet door did not disappoint--we exceeded the Passive House airtightness requirements by a factor of three! Now, while the homeowners appreciate the incredible comfort and efficiency of their new home, Pippen is happily enjoying his access to backyard freedom.\" \" --Blake B.\n\"Thanks for answering my questions and giving me helpful suggestions. The door is in the wall and all trim is 100% installed and finish applied; only remaining item is to camouflage the entrance with a dog house (tight spot). The door is mounted on the west side of the house and the afternoon summer sun is directly on this wall; I can tell the difference in insulation and air leakage over the small door that was replaced. Thanks again for the help.\" --Kurt F., Idaho\n\"This door works better than any others I've seen on the market. After 1 year of use I continue to be impressed with the airtight seal it creates. If there's a more energy efficient pet door out there, I certainly haven't seen it.\" --Ryan S., Ohio; Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine\n\"My 2 boys, both 70lb labrador retrievers, love the dog door. So do I beacuse the flap is really flexbile and seals shut by itself and it never leaks anything into my home, not even wind gust blow it open. The previous dog door I owned was made of metal, aluminum I think, and it was very loud when it closed. Sounded like someone slamming a screen door. Leaked like a son of a gun too. Water leaked inside when it rained. I pitched the the old dog door and the door it was installed into. I bought a really nice paneled door. The videos on the website showed me how to install it even though I payed a professional to do it. Awesome dog door. You will see this dog door in every pet store someday!!\" --Mark K.\n\"This is the third pet door I've purchased and it will be the last. I looked around forever for a dog door to replace the drafty one installed by the previous owners of our house we just purchased. While Anchorage is not as cold as interior Alaska we regularly have low temps in excess of minus 20. I was a little hesitant at fist to order online and because the door was a little higher than the ones at the big box stores. But, your pet door is MONSTER Good. I keep the garage at 60 degrees for the dogs and it stayed at 60 degrees all winter, even at 20 below! I even measured the temperature near the door expecting it to be lower than ambient--it was exactly the same, 60 degrees. This door ROCKS! By the way...I ordered the wrong size door and you exchanged it, no questions asked. Don't waste your money on any other door. You will be sorry!\" --Randy R., Alaska\n\"I just got my new dog door installed today and it is magnificent. After years of a dog door that blew more wind into the house than you could believe, despite putting new magnets and trying everything we could to make it work, I finally have a dog door that keeps my bedroom warm and toasty. Last week it was freezing in here, and today it is super warm (I have a woodstove in the next room, but with the old dog door, it didn't have a chance). I worried when I ordered yours that it would not work any better than the old one, but the high quality is immediately clear just on seeing the door, and now that it is in the door, I am so grateful that you figured out how to make a dog door that actually stays closed. And my dog immediately learned how to use it even though it is a bit different looking from the old one. I don't have a digital camera so I can't post photos, but if anyone has an outside door that has panels in the lower half, my handyperson figured out a great way to install it and I'm sure he'd be willing to share that with anyone else. I actually was so blown away by how good it was, that I wanted to write this review so others who discover your door via the web will know it's as good as you promised. Thanks so much!\" --Pat B.\n\"After arriving yesterday, my door is installed and works flawlessly. No air infiltration, quieter and the design is better than anything else on the market. After installing this one today, I counted the number of dog doors I have installed in my life [7 counting one I put in our barn and a total of 4 different brands] and your pet door was the easiest to install. I did remove my house door to make the cut but reinstalled to fit the dog door into the door. I'm also not convinced that your door is more expensive when you factor in heat loss of other brands, and the number of replacement flaps that I typically have had to install (on average, 2 a year). I have three German Shorthairs and the door seems to be no challenge at all. I was worried since they can see through the old door but not your door. Please use me as a reference. I own my own company so I know feedback is important and also nice to hear. Anyway, just wanted to report back and let you know how happy I am. Sorry to be so longwinded but my old dog door has frustrated me for years. Thank you.\" --Tim T., West Virginia\n\"We are Nemo and Dora from Italy........we would like to thank you very much for the door you company developed.....now we can go out of the kitchen and back without bothering our owners......they worked hard because the door's kitchen low wooden frame was to high.....so they made two platforms to solve the problem. also, now the temperature in the kitchen keeps even all the time and we don't feel guilty as before when they have to open the door to allow as go out and in and the air inside got so cold!! We are very happy now, thanks to your company and to our owners .........we hope the next year will be great for you and a lot of Dogs like as will enjoy your fantastic product! Sorry for our English..... we tried our best.....we know how to bark only in Italian!!\" --Nemo and Dora, Italy\n\"We have used your pet door for since January 2008. It is still in excellent condition! This is our third dog door within the past 4 years. The other brand doors only lasted less than a year. The flaps would tear and warp due to the extensive use in my kennel. We have about 25 dogs that use this door on any given day. Thank you for such a great product!\" --Kristine F., Michigan, Owner, Kay bee's K-9 dog training academy\n\"I hope you remember me from Singapore. I had previously purchase 2 sets of your pet doors from you sometime in June (wall-mounted and door mounted each). We are finally done with our renovations (it is ALOT of work!!) and have the pet doors finally installed. Our 3 dogs (2 mini schnauzers and a husky) took a couple of days to get used to the door but this is much better than our previous one where the flap did not close properly and we were always leaking air conditioning. We used to keep the bedroom door open so that the dogs could access to the outside when they needed to go. We don?t have to do that anymore. Our bedroom is now cooler and the air conditioning doesn?t have to work so hard; and we get our privacy while the dogs get theirs when needed. Inastallation was easy and was well worth it.\" --Randy S., Singapore\n\"The dog door is great and my pets and I are so happy with it. My two dogs love their freedom. I rescued one of my dogs and he was very badly mistreated so he suffered from seperation anxiety and barked all day when I was at work. With the dog door I can leave him in the house where he feels safe and secure and my neighbours are alot happier now the barking has stopped. It was a big Job putting it in, my walls are 16\" thick, but well worth it. I finished the tunnel with tiles so it looks great and is easy to wipe clean. Thanks again really great invention so happy with it.\" --Rachel, Ireland\n\"Previous metal door/glass frame combinations allowed wind and rain to enter all year round and inside cold air was generated due to the metal door and glass construction. After a year of extensive use, the canvas fabric has not deteriorated and the canvas flap is easy to clean and maintain. Thanks\" --Gary S., Michigan\n\"I was out of work when I bought this door... so I shopped long and hard. Almost bought a competetors brand at more than twice the price until I googled the manufacturer and got all kinds of bad feed back. I sent the feed back to the company and never heard from them again! You on the other hand... nurtured me along for about 4 weeks, answering yet another question.. and another before making the sale for a med size doggy door. I have two 60 pound dogs. Your door is GREAT! It's REALLY weather proof as far as keeping cold out. I can feel the difference in air temp when the dogs go in and out in the early morning. It took about 1/2 hour and 1/2 box of Cheeze Its to get the bolder dog completely comfortable to walk up the ramp and out the door. (The ramp was the real problem for them not the door.) I rightly guessed that when the older dog saw the younger do it he would follow right behind. This door is something I am very, very happy with! I have literally spent over 12,000 dollars in the last 5 years for a dog walker. So what a bargain to get this Fabulous design, the door is functionality superb. Happy in ILLINOIS\" --Tim C.\n\"My wife and I love our new Doggy Door. We don't have to stop what we are doing to let our dog in and out. Another great thing is no bugs are being let in the house. We have had many compliments on our new Doggy Door. The other night a friend stopped over and was very impressed with the looks of it and that it was magnetic. The construction and materials is very good. We would reccomend this to any who has a dog. Thank you very much for the Doggy Door\" --Bill K.\n\"We love this dog door! It's the best we have ever used. Thanks\" --Sally A.\n\"Your company was more than helpful when I originally had a problem with my old pet flap opening in strong winds. They were very interested in helping solve the problem. Now with the very strong winds the flaps stay closed. I have three dogs that can pass through without any difficulty. I would highly recommend this dog door. The door is energy efficient and very durable, believe me I know we have very active dogs that are in and out constantly. I have had other dog doors over the years this is by far the best one\" --Susan, New Jersey\n\"Great product I would recomend this door over any others I've seen or tried to date.\"\n\"You may remember me as I am the customer that has the chew happy collies. I wanted to let you know that I am happy with the pet door you sold to me and that with four other brands I tried I was not satisfied.\" --Jim G., Massachusetts\n\"I was a little skeptical when I ordered this pet door. But when I received it, I was wowed, it is really high quality! My husband installed it with little to no issues and it does exactly what it says and is shown in the videos. The strong magnets seal the inside in and the outside out. And my dogs very easily figured out how to use it, too. Good purchase!\"\n\"I will save 55 dollars a week in dog walking money!!\" --Kathleen, Chicago\n\"Received the dog door today....I am impressed with the quality!!!! I am excited to be able to install and see the difference or I should say feel the difference because we can see the difference already. Thanks!!\" --Cherry B., Wyoming\n\"I purchased your product around December 8th and it arrived within a few days. I installed it on December 13 and on December 14 we temperatures of -15 degrees which was a record low for Denver. I was impressed on how well your product kept the cold out. Thank you.\" --Gary, Colorado\n\"Without a doubt best dog door going, never a draft gets through and not even frost on the inside at temps down to -40F, amazing for a one piece flap. Bugs can't get through either!!\" --Jeff F., Alberta Canada", "domain": "pet"}

It was a hard decision to make, especially after having her in our lives for nearly 18 years. That’s 90% of our relationship and the entirety of our adulthood!\nShe’s been the picture of health her whole life, but these past years she has declined so much. She can no longer do her normal cat things and there’s little that seems to bring her joy anymore so, to preserve her dignity and stop her pain, we have decided it is time to say goodbye.\nMy wife likes to say that getting her is what made us into a family. She was the first thing outside of ourselves that we felt jointly responsible for. I was scared to get her at first. Kittens can be a handful, but she was a good cat from the very start.\nOf course, she did the normal kitten things in the beginning, but to a minor extent and for only a small duration. She used to steal my hair ties out of the bathroom drawers while I was at work and push them under the refrigerator. At night she would pounce on my feet or try to sleep on my chest. We had a parakeet that she tried to eat once, and a guinea pig she terrorized often, but that was about it.\nHer greatest quality, in my eyes, was her harsh selectivity in what other people or animals she would accept or even acknowledge. She has never been a social cat. She hated every dog we ever owned and could not stand to have another cat in the house. She hid when other people came over, especially from children, and would often hiss or scratch when approached.\nThere is another side to her, though. Every once in a while, she would pick a random friend or family member of ours to welcome into the fold, typically someone who had no interest in her or any other cat. Whenever she picked someone to love on, I always felt that they must be a good person, and the fact that she was always so loving and affectionate with me made me feel like there was something she sensed in me that was good and worth trusting too.\nThat is what I will remember most about her: how she made me feel special. I will remember how she loved to sit on my lap or sleep on my chest with her head in my neck. We could lay that way for hours and whatever I was sad or stressed about would seem so far away and small, so very unimportant. I will remember that there is more to love, to living, and to being than we humans have limited ourselves to.\nSophia certainly wasn’t the pet we were looking for when we set out to make our little family, but she was definitely the one we needed and I have always known that she chose us more than the other way around.\nThere are no words to express how much she will be missed.", "domain": "pet"}

While some pets enjoy the festivities, the strange sights and sounds may frighten others. Cats usually hide, but dogs may run away in fear – or run after trick-or-treaters in excitement.\nHere are some tips to help your pet enjoy Halloween too:\n- Choose pet costumes with care, making sure they won’t restrict movement or vision and that there are no small pieces your pet can swallow. Introduce the costume a few days in advance so she gets used to it. Canine Company professional dog trainers recommend offering a treat and praise to help with the process.\n- Don’t force your pet to wear a costume if he isn’t comfortable. Instead, give your pet some Halloween flair with stencils and pet-safe paints or can create a Mohawk or punk hairdo with colored styling gels. A cute seasonal bandana is another option.\n- Bring pets indoors before dusk. Pets left alone outside – especially black cats –may fall victim to tricksters. Some pets become anxious at the children’s shouts and the constantly ringing doorbell. If your pet seems nervous, confine him to a room away from the activity.\n- Keep your dog on leash to prevent him from dashing out an open door. If you have an Invisible Fence system, you won’t need a leash, but be sure he is wearing his collar so he stays safely in the yard. If you take her trick-or-treating, be sure she is wearing identification tags in case she runs off in fear or in pursuit of other children.\n- Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate is toxic for dogs: so is xylitol, the artificial sweetener used in many candies and gums. It’s best to have pet-safe treats in your pocket or close at hand to distract pets from candy.\nsource: Canine Company\nLatest posts by Families Online Magazine (see all)\n- Best Snacks for Your Memorial Day Road Trip - May 22, 2018\n- $28,000 Annual Healthcare Costsfor American Families - May 22, 2018\n- What Parents Can do to Keep Graduation Parties Fun and Safe - May 22, 2018", "domain": "pet"}

From that time on, we’ve been his.\nTechnically though, Gannon wasn’t ours; he belonged to our son and daughter-in-law. But we often joked that Grammy and Grampa had “joint custody” because we walked him three times a week and looked after him when his owners had to work long hours or went away on vacation. Our house became his second home.\nMalamutes, as any owner will tell you, are strong, highly intelligent, independent and fairly pig-headed animals. They will obey an order if they feel like it, or if there’s food involved. They are also loving and friendly—some would say indiscriminately friendly. Malamutes generally adore people, so don’t ever get a Malamute as a guard dog. As the books say, “They’ll wag their tails, welcome the intruder into the house, and show him where the silver is kept.” They mostly don’t bark, although they can if they need to.\nGannon was a big dog. I could pat him without even bending over, and I loved to play with his soft, silky ears. Like most Malamutes, he was quite the conversationalist. If he felt that a conversation needed to include him, he would start up with his trademark Malamute “woo woo” to let us know that he was here too, thank you very much.\nGannon wasn’t much crazy about other dogs, but he loved humans, all of whom were his friends. He especially loved his four-person pack. As he grew into old age, he liked to have at least some of his peeps close by, and he would often round the two of us up if we were in opposite ends of the house, so that we were together, the way he liked it.\nToday our beloved four-footed friend took his last breath in the loving arms of his two pack leaders, with us, the two other members of his pack, standing close by to see him off.\nGodspeed, Bubby. You were much loved. Safe home.", "domain": "pet"}

Pets take so little from us but give unconditional love in return. As an owner of a dog and also his/ her best friend and care taker, we must provide them with unconditional care and love they deserve. But at times we fall short of doing so as we don’t realize how to really do so. So here we have a few tips, tricks and hacks that will do just the same!\nTake a look at these hacks and help out your pooch in the best and easiest way possible.\nUpset Tummy: If your dogs is suffering from digestive problems (if you have figured out that it isn’t a serious condition), try this quick and easy homemade formula. Cook a homemade meal of base chicken and rice to help your furry friend get rid of an upset tummy. Vets have recommended this for years.\n*Garnish is also subjective to your little friend’s preference!:P*\nStinky Carpet: If your pooch has done the deed on your carpet or on the floor, there’s no saying “no” to the unbearable stench and stains. Soak up the urine with a paper towel, spray the stain with a mixture of half vinegar and half baking soda solution and let it soak in for 10 minutes. Then, absorb the excess moisture with a paper towel, sprinkle the spot with baking soda and let it dry. Remember to keep pets away, as baking soda is toxic to dogs. Once dry, vacuum it up.\nA Bit of Drama: How often does your dog run away when you let him loose in the open? You try catching him but all that happens is he runs faster. Try this hack instead-Act. Yes, a bit of drama like you are hurt and lying down, your pet will come running to check on you. Bang on, you can bag an Oscar even if you’re a terrible actor. (And imagine how cute that would be?! – Major feeler alert!)\nFresh Breath: Does your dog’s bad breath turn you away from him? Simply add a bit of parsley to their food. Parsley is full of vitamins and will help in eliminating bad mouth odour.\nPet Hair: Only a pet owner knows what a pet peeve shedding can be. Since we can’t control natural coat shedding, we can clean it easily. All you got to do is wear a rubber glove, wet it and run your hand on the upholstery. No hair there or anywhere! Voila!\nTurmeric is the Key: Recent studies have proved that turmeric has healing properties, can eliminate pain and even reduce inflammation. All these benefits can also help out our four-legged friends. PS: Turmeric is also a blood thinner and can hence react with medicines. Always consult your vet before using it.\nBeat the Heat: Dogs love to be taken out for a walk but did you know that their paws are equally sensitive as human’s skin? If you can’t walk barefoot on a hot surface, so can’t your dogs! Always walk them early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s comparatively cooler.\nPool Party: Even dogs love pool parties! All you have to do is set up a small tub(inflatable or plastic) full of water and a few chunks of ice and get him splashing! This is an easy way of relieving him on hot, sultry days! And so much fun! You could take really cute pictures of him splashing about!\nTry out these superb hacks to make your pooch happier and yourself a proud owner!", "domain": "pet"}

Heinrich Law combines savvy strategy coupled genuine care. You can stop reading attorney Yelp reviews now. You have found the best.\nHave you been severely bitten or mauled by a dog? Were you knocked down and injured by an out-of-control dog while walking through your neighborhood or in a park?\nDog owners in California are strictly liable for your harms and losses if their dog bites you. This means they are responsible for your injuries regardless of whether they knew or had reason to believe the dog was dangerous.\nDog owners in California are liable for your injuries if their dog knocks you down and you can prove the owner was negligent. Dog owners who allow their out-of-control dogs to freely roam neighborhoods and parks off leash and knock people down will likely be held responsible for the injuries caused by such an event.\nIf you have been severely injured because of a dog bite, dog attack, or knock down, we know what it takes to obtain full compensation for all the harms and damages you have suffered.\nWorking with your medical providers and experts, we will prove the full value of your case by demonstrating the true nature of your injuries and the impact they have on your life.\nThe first step is to schedule a free consultation so that we can learn what happened and figure out how we can help you.\nLet us use our expertise to advise you on your best course of action.\nOur client was viciously bitten in the face by a rescue dog after being invited into an acquaintance’s home. The dog’s owners accepted responsibility, but their homeowner’s insurance company initially refused to fully compensate Ms. Kelly for her injuries and damages. Heinrich Law was forced to file a lawsuit after which we worked with an experienced plastic surgeon who examined our client, reviewed her entire medical file, and then rendered opinions regarding the severity of Ms. Kelly’s injuries and residual scarring.\nThe matter eventually went to mediation where Heinrich Law negotiated a settlement for $875,000, one of the largest settlements on record in California for a dog bite to the face.\nLEARN HOW WE WON\nOur client was walking her small dog in her neighborhood when an out-of-control dog escaped from a nearby yard and attacked her dog. As our client struggled to protect her dog, the escaped dog, a large German Shepard, knocked Ms. Vesterfelt down causing her to break her hip. Heinrich Law located and interviewed witnesses throughout the neighborhood to establish that the dog had a history of escaping and creating significant risk of injury to those it encountered. This investigation enabled us to prove that the owners of the dog were negligent and should be held liable for out client’s injuries.\nHeinrich Law settled the claim for $300,000 before a lawsuit had to be filed.\nIf you have been seriously injured by a dog – whether a dog bite or knockdown – please call us.

They make us feel good, spiritually, mentally, and physically. And this isn’t just a feeling either, it is something that has been scientifically proven. It seems, therefore, that when we look after an animal, the animal also looks after us, which is a great gift they give us.\nWhat Science Says:\nThere has been a lot of research into the benefits of having a pet. It is now known that:\n– People with pets have a longer average lifespan.\n– Pet owners experience far less loneliness.\n– Pet owners enjoy greater overall health than those without pets.\n– People who have pets experience lower levels of stress, and better capabilities of dealing with stress.\n– Owning an animal has a positive impact on our fitness, immune system, moods, cholesterol, and blood pressure.\n– People who have pets have lower health care expenses overall.\nIt is obvious therefore: owning a pet is better for your quality of life.\nHow to Find a Pet:\nIf this has convinced you that it is time to have a pet was added to your family, you need to think about where to get one from. While it may be tempting to get a baby animal, because it is so cute and because you can put your own stamp on it, the sad reality is also that there are thousands of cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals in pet shelters, simply waiting for a loving home.\nA visit to your local pet shelters will enable you to choose a fish, cat, critter, reptile, rabbit, dog, or any other animal. It is possible that those animals had previously lived in homes where they were neglected or abused. This means that, sometimes, it will take someone quite special to look after them, as they may have behavioral and emotional issues. However, the pet shelters are aware of this, and they will make sure that you are able to give a loving home to an animal that is just right for your needs.\nMost pet shelters now also have websites. Here, you can see all the animals that are currently available for adoption. It will list their name and age, where they have come from, and who they would be suitable for. If you spot an animal that you believe will make the perfect addition to your family, do take the time to research its particular breed so that you know what to expect. Also visit the shelter to see the animal in real life and make sure you speak to the staff there, discussing what you have already learned and whether there are other things you need to know about the animal as well. In so doing, you will also show the shelter’s staff that you are really serious about adopting an animal. You must demonstrate that you understand the commitment you are making, or they will not allow you to adopt the animal. After all, they have already been through enough without having to go through more abandonment.\nIf you are accepted as an adopter, you have to prepare your home for the arrival of your new companion. If the animal is free rather than caged, such as a cat or a dog, you need to make sure that you have enough space for your new pet. It has to be able to move about, after all. If you are adopting a dog, then you should also research your local dog walking areas. Pet shelters will also ask you to confirm that nobody in your household is allergic to the particular animal you are planning to adopt. Remember, as well, that you will have responsibility over the animal for many more years. Dogs can live as long as 15 years and cats even longer, and you have to be ready for that. This also means being financially ready for them. Animals don’t cost a lot, but you do have to buy their bedding, toys, and food.\nIndeed, before you bring your new member of the family home, make sure that your home is fully prepared. The animal will be quite scared and nervous about going to new surroundings, particularly if it has been abandoned before. Hence, make sure that everything in your home is calm and quiet before you bring it in. Do also make sure that you have the animal’s own space ready, whether that is a dog bed for a dog, a cat basket for a cat, or a cage for a critter or bird. Everything should be set up and ready, so that your new pet can get to know its new surroundings in a relaxed, comfortable, and calm way.\nDo one last check of all your supplies as well. Make sure the food is there and ready, that the toys are easy to find, and that your pet has some comforting products as well. For instance, a dog may like to have a soft toy in its bed, and cats may want to have a post with the ability to sit up a certain height. When your pet arrives, give it all the time it needs to get used to its new surroundings. If your new animal is a dog, try to make sure that it has been to the toilet before it arrives, so you don’t have to take it out for a walk almost immediately after bringing it home.\nLet each member of your family get to know the animal, and build their own special bond with your nee pet. If you have children, make sure that they understand the importance of being calm and gentle, particularly with soft animals such as critters, cats, and dogs. The animal is going to be an integral part of your family for a long time yet, and children in particular can build very strong bonds with it if it is supported in doing so properly. Most of all, make sure that everybody enjoys the company of the new member of your family.", "domain": "pet"}

Unfortunately, they also share our health problems, and can suffer from many of the same diseases and conditions we do. Whilst it is possible to give some types of human medicines to pets, it is not possible to do it with therapeutic antibodies – the pet immune systems would reject them. What this means is that there are all of these conditions, such as cancer, allergy, arthritis, and many more, that we can successfully treat in people but where our pets are suffering needlessly.\nPetMedix is taking the experience of its founding team, and decades of human clinical research, to build platforms that can develop fully species-specific, naturally-generated therapeutic antibodies. We will use these platforms to develop our own veterinary medicines to target some of the most important underserved clinical areas, which not only would have critical healthcare impact, but also represent excellent market opportunities.\nPetMedix are proud to have been voted ‘Best Start-Up 2019’ in the Animal Pharm Awards and ‘One to Watch’ in the Nature Spinoff Awards 2020.", "domain": "pet"}

The magical, multi-colored cottages and adjacent buildings are where the late Nate Benderson’s dream of a dog and cat adoption center came to fruition. It is also home to 1,330 volunteers, of which 250 are active. The volunteers are comprised of the adoption team, dog walkers and transporters, who assist with kitchen and laundry duties and handle puppy care.\nThe goal at Nate’s is to simplify the pet adoption process and not intimidate future owners. The process is working. In 2017, 1,238 dogs and 548 cats have been adopted. For Jeopardy enthusiasts, the most popular pet name is Bella; the breed is Labrador Retriever; and the hardest task when new dogs and cats arrive is coming up with unique names for them.\nAsked what people really want, Executive Director Dari Oglesby laughs and quickly states a well-known mantra around Nate’s, “under 20 pounds, hypoallergenic, housetrained, likes kids and other dogs.” Nate’s has 28,000 Facebook followers, 83 percent are women and some live in the United Kingdom and Canada.\nNate’s is a safe place for animals who would have otherwise been euthanized because of overcrowding in open admission shelters in areas such as Manatee, Sarasota, DeSoto, and Highland Animal Services. Many future pets arrive from a humane society in Thomasville, Georgia. The shelter in that location sadly has a 90 percent euthanasia rate. Volunteers from Nate’s travel to Gainesville, Florida to rescue these animals. All animals who are brought to Nate’s are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, tested for parasites and species specific diseases, treated with flea and heart worm prevention, and microchipped.\nIf you are interested in adoption, the costs are much less to adopt at Nate’s than in retail pet stores.\nKaren Slomba, Assistant Executive Director at Nate’s, says “the most common misconception about store bought dogs is that they are healthy. People think if they are spending a lot of money, they’re getting a better dog.”\nAdoption prices are $300 for a puppy, $200 for an adult dog, which is over four months to six years, and $100 for a senior dog, ages seven years plus.\nThere is a “Senior For Senior Program” for owner’s over 65, who can adopt senior dogs for $50. The price includes a leash, collar and heart worm prevention. The owner must have a willing and able family member who will adopt the pet in the event of the owner’s demise. A grant from Designing Daughters, a local charity, underwrites this program.\nAdditionally a program, “Pets For Vets” helps veterans find companion pets and is free of charge. It includes the crate, leash and collar. There is training through Petco and it’s underwritten by the Manatee Community Foundation.\nIf you are interested in adoption, here’s how the process works:\nFFirst, you tour Nate’s and select your pet; as you’re being shown the animals, you’ll be interviewed in a conversational setting. The goal will be to match the best pet for your lifestyle; you’ll fill out an application with reference checks; your landlord will be called to be sure there are no pet restrictions in your lease. A veterinarian will be contacted to arrange any care that is needed. Finally, if you have another dog a “meet and greet” will be scheduled to rule out any jealousy issues between the pets. If everything goes well, the entire adoption can be done in one day.\nThis holiday season, Nate’s elves will deliver adopted puppies for Christmas. Please call Nate’s for more information on this program, email [email protected].", "domain": "pet"}

When we bring in a new foster dog, they always get a new name. Dogs don’t have any special affinity for their names and they can easily learn to respond to a new one. In the past, most of my foster dogs have been named after places I have lived. Seneca, Slater, Manhattan, Verona, etc. But sometimes, a special foster dog deserves a special name. A name that really fits.\nIn the 4 ½ years that I’ve been fostering, I���ve had several puppies/dogs that had health problems. Heartworms, bacterial skin infections, mange, respiratory issues, retinal tear, etc. All of them have been somewhat sad cases but recently I agreed to foster a dog with one of the most obvious and disturbing medical issues I’ve seen.\nOn October 25, 2016, I drove to a county animal shelter here in Texas to evaluate a dog that they would only release to rescue because he was in need of medical care. The Animal Control Officer (ACO) took me back to the kennels and there I saw one of the most pitiful looking Australian Shepherd I’ve ever come across. Underweight, dirty, and stinky. But what was most disturbing was that he was dragging around an immense tumor! How does an owner not get something like that taken care of? No way this boy was a stray. He could barely walk with that on his foot. He had obviously been dumped by his owners. And yet, he was as happy a dog as I’ve seen. Many Australian Shepherds don’t have a tail. They have what we loving refer to as a “nubbin”. And his was twitching so hard his whole butt was moving. There was no question he was going to come into the rescue program. No matter what it cost to remove that “parasitic twin” attached to him. The ACO had to carry him into the office where I needed to complete paperwork. He laid him down on a towel near the desk and he just laid there watching people coming and going and wagging his nubbin. At one point, I had to go out to the car to get some additional paperwork and when I came back in, he stood up and came to greet me like I was his best friend and he knew I was going to help him. When he got to me, he lifted his paw with the tumor—like he was showing me his “boo boo”. At that moment, I knew he needed a special name.\nWhat would be a good name for a dog that was so happy and glad to be getting taken care of by a total stranger? Grateful? Lucky? Thankful? How about just Thanks? YES! But that was kind of awkward. Maybe in another language? Gracias? XieXie? Danke? Merci? Hmmm, I spent 17 years working for Nokia….how about Kiitos? I liked it! The other members of the rescue thought it was perfect! And that is how a Texas stray dog became known as Kiitos.\nToday, Kiitos is minus the 2 lb (~1 kg) non-cancerous tumor that was attached to the side of his leg and which the veterinarian felt he had been carrying around for several years. Luckily it was not attached to his paw. While it took several weeks for the incision to heal and there will probably never be hair on that area, he is walking perfectly and is running and playing like it was never there. He still shows everyone where his “boo boo” was by lifting that paw for them to see. He isn’t over all of his medical issues yet as he does have heartworms that need to be treated but he is a truly sweet boy that has the potential to be a therapy dog as he is calm, well mannered, and loves everyone he meets. He has tugged at the hearts of many generous donors and now there are thousands more people who know what “kiitos” means.", "domain": "pet"}

Is he or she a night-on-the-town sort, or more of a humble hound? There’s nothing better than allowing a pup’s personality to shine wherever it is he or she truly lights up.\nRolling around in a grassy field, splashing through water, or exploring urban landscapes with your dog as the star attraction will easily be a “best-day-ever” in the life of your constant companion. There’s no rules and no demands…your faithful friend decides how he or she would like to be portrayed.\nUnique and interesting locations are custom-tailored to make your best buddy shine. An abundance of sloppy kisses and wagging tails are included (and expected!) in every adventure.\nIf you’re looking for a photographer who focuses an entire business on creating stunning pet portraits, you’ve come to the right place.\nMy name is Barb Hays and I’ve been wild about animals…all of them…my entire life. You can be sure I’ll be wild about your pup too.\nWith me, you’ll find a true professional with years of experience with every type of dog, from happy and bouncy to shy and sensitive, and everything in between. I haven’t yet met a pup that hasn’t been a bonafide supermodel. Your devious dachshund, your hyper husky, or your comedic cocker spaniel will be a perfect fit for professional photos and beautiful artwork you’ll be proud to display in your home.\nWhen I’m not hanging around with my own menagerie, I’m usually outside hiking, biking, kayaking or tracking down birds and other wildlife to photograph. I readily admit, I’m a bit of a beer snob too.\nEvery pet is truly a work of art and your pet is too. If you’re ready to have an amazing and unforgettable experience, let’s get your session scheduled!\nWhere does the name “Windhound” come from?\nI met my first Afghan hound as a young girl and I’ve been enchanted with these whimsical and elegant sighthounds since. These high-speed athletes run like the wind; thus, they are sometimes called Windhounds.\nI’ve adopted many Afghan hounds over the years, while also providing temporary foster care for numerous rescued Afghans and greyhounds as they awaited their new homes. I love all dogs, whether mixes or purebreds, but my heart belongs to the mysterious and ancient breeds known as the Windhounds. It seems fitting to pay homage to these wonderful dogs who have given me so much joy to honor their lives and memories through my photography business.\nWhy choose me as your pet photographer?\nSpeaking their language.\nNo matter how laid back, wild, unruly or just plain silly, I’ve interacted with all kinds of animals during my 25+ year career in the animal sheltering field, so there isn’t much they can conjure up that will surprise me. Understanding unique personalities and behaviors will bring out the very best in your pet using only positive reinforcement…and a whole bunch of noisemakers, toys and tasty treats.\nThere’s no pressure.\nOur time together is meant to be fun for you and your pet. While we’ll have a general plan in mind, your dog will dictate how we go about each session. If your pup needs frequent breaks to burn off energy, I’ll bring out the tennis ball. If he or she is more of a low-key type, we’ll find a quiet spot and have a good ear-scratching session. This is their time to shine, so they’ll be the ultimate architect and we’ll adapt to them.\nCapturing their individual charm is just the beginning. You’ll benefit from professional camera equipment and post-processing software to make your pet look his or her best. In the post-processing phase of our session, leashes and other distractions will be removed and every image will be individually fine-tuned. Finishing it all off with the highest quality artwork available, your images will bring a smile for decades to come.\nYou’ll get years of experience.\nYou’re hiring a pet photographer with a degree in Animal Science and a degree in Psychology/Animal Behavior. Knowing what makes animals tick certainly comes in handy with pet photography. I’ve also photographed thousands of shelter animals of all species over many years. There is nothing better than knowing a deserving animal found the next love of their life because of a high-quality image.\nYour satisfaction is my highest priority.\nThis isn’t a weekend hobby or side hustle for me; it’s my full-time profession.

And in addition examine the way they react to their competitors.\nWhat is Pet Lovers Centre?\nPet Lovers Centre (PLC) is Singapore's biggest dog or cat retail and service string. It was wide open as a home hobby business in 1973. In 1995, the next era of Ng family got over, and the business enterprise grew quickly as they have extend their business not only Singapore and also Malaysia. PLC is well known for their capability to offer its customer \"widest and freshest range, coupled with fast and warm service\". They will be the only pet string being awarded for the \"Trust SG certification for the entire year\" and also an Associate person in Worldwide Family pet Industry Connection. In 2008, it became a franchise-able brand.\nBackground of Pet Lovers Centre\nIn 1973, both brothers, David Ng and Robert Ng, have the same interest for dogs because they were raised in a plantation with a myriad of pets and family pets. At the point of time, the pet ownership had not been popular as compare to today, dog or cat shop hardly can be seen on the road, as leftover food were consider proper meals for pets. After that, the two brothers shared a typical dream to open up Singapore's first shop that offered everything a pet should need. It started off with the wholesaling and from then on change to retailing as the demand for dog or cat related retail service was expand and there have been lack of choice in the market. And this switching of business was a success.\nAfter much time and money being spent, they finally open up their first shop at Shaw Centre along Scotts Highway. They also determine to begin their own Research & Development. Such as for example, \"turning car cushions into pet cat basket, home carpet into scuff pad for cats\". This technology allow the shop to be first in transfer dried out dog food, first to sell anti flea and tick hair shampoo, first to sell nutritional supplement for pets and first to provide dry food to provide to Singapore's authorities and army dog products.\nMission and Center Values\nPet Lovers Centre objective is to provide their quality care and attention to their customer by displaying their care and attention and concern with their customer needs and also good ease of access.

And previous years, the foundation arrived with a tagline\"Pets, people and out globe\" to pets. They donate food for animal shelter in Singapore. The building blocks work with the animal shelters such as Noah's Ark, SPCA and ASD. And this past year when economic perspective is bleak, they organise \"Dog Food Drive\". They actually collected over 2000kg of dog food for SPCA and Noah's Ark. And just lately, they organise and charity preview of the movie, \"Hachiko - A dog's story\", and elevated sixteen thousand us dollars for the ASD and Noah's Ark. Presently, they are working by using an eco task and working with Salvation Military to help the animal shelter. Furthermore, their stores got these house brand products \"Burp!\" and \"Trustie\" and their exclusive imports products, the sales of the merchandise will be contribute to Pet lovers foundation's beneficiaries.\nLocation of Stores\nPet fans Centre has develop their business to Malaysia and Singapore. There are 32 stores in Singapore and 8 stores in Malaysia. In Singapore, the stores are located near to the MRT stop or shopping malls. This allows customer to access to the destination easily. For instance: VivoCity, Singapore's most significant retail and lifestyle vacation spot, customer can actually take bus, MRT, Taxi or autos to the shopping mall. And they can even shop around the shopping mall once they have shop at your pet Lovers Centre. So this permit the customer not only able to purchase their pet products, they also could purchase other things from other retailers. And they won't believe that trip had been wasted to visit down.\nIn Singapore, there are 5 Pet Lovers Centre's wall plug contain the grooming facilities. They could bring their pets to the EastPoint mall, Holland town, Serangoon Gardens, Toa Payoh Central or Vivocity for wild hair grooming. And those groomers are higher level of expertise proficiency and professionalism as they are being trained by the PLC Animal Arts Academy. They train skills in a intensifying manner which helps them to build up the building blocks, learning basic skills of handling and grooming dogs and cats, attaining new techniques as they learn advance skills. Lately, they provide new services to your pet owner. It is the \"just a shower\" for puppies only. This is to allow the owners have an alternative solution choice to really bring their household pets for a bathtub rather than carrying it out themselves.\nThere are veterinary Treatment centers located at Vivocity and Holland Town. They also came out with a system for the owner to ask for an advice, view or recommendation through online. So owner can in fact enter their website and consult the veterinary through online before bringing their pet to a veterinarian. And they'll reply the post at the earliest opportunity to solve owner's problem. That is to allow the owner get an idea whether their domestic pets are behaving normally or it does really need a medical care. So this enables owners to save lots of assessment cost if their dog or cat were perfectly alright.\nPLC has dog training at their stores. They work together with the Waggie's dog training institution, Doggie Move forward dog training college and Dog Listener consultancy. They might schedule their category at different venue of Singapore. And owners are given a selection to choose which classes they might like their dog to travel for training. Along with the place usually will be at Vivo city 3rd floor. Yet another way owner could do is consult the instructors through online on basic training. This would allow them to have better advice, thoughts and opinions and recommendation from the trainer. So rather than bring canines to training institution, they could actually coach their pups themselves.\nThey provide home delivery. So owner could purchase bulky item such as dog food, dog cage plus more. Or owner could also online order goods. If goods are being purchase above $50, there exists free of charge for delivery. The delivery calls for 3 to 4 4 business days to process. There's a call receive from other Customer Service Official to verify the requests and time of delivery. So when goods appear, goods can be exchanges within 7 business days from the night out of purchase.\nThey also provide membership greeting card for those pet addicts to get profit. For instance, 15% discount on birthday month, 5% discount on regular-priced product, makes loyalty indicate redeem items. To use the free regular membership card, customer has to purchase above $100 in one receipt. If not, customer has to pay $5 for request fees for bare minimum purchase of $50 solo receipts or gathered receipts in four weeks. And this account could last for just one year, subsequent time renewal of membership fees will be $2. Customer could check their point and redeem item through their website. With this account, members will have a tendency to visit their stores and buy more items from them, in order that they could collect point. With the idea, customers could actually redeem pet's food, pet's shampoo, pet's solution or supplement, accessories and surprise vouchers.\nThe price of the products was placed at an acceptable and affordable price. And they do have make of product that could not within other dog or cat stores. Despite the fact that there are some product that are sold higher price than other dog or cat stores, but customer still choose to buy their product as the quality and service was that. They are willing to pay higher price as they wish to get good quality of food.\nS. W. O. T analysis\nThey provide the customer their finest service with a smile from it. This demonstrates they appreciated each of these customers. They willingly to help customers and fixed their problem. They would like to gain the trust from the customer. So they allow exchange of products within 7 days. This will allow customer to get good impress of these business. They'll constantly delivering latest product for customer. That is to prevent them from reselling expired food plus more variety to choose. They not only aim for people around town or city, they also focus on people who live at HDB. This allows them to visitors to happen to be their stores handily. Every month, they certainly have campaign item, this is to entice more customer to buy their product.\nThey have quite limited types of products compare to other pet shop. And not every store has the same products. As some of the shop size is small, so they cannot actually bring in many different types of products. So, the majority of products will be accessible at the pet safari mega stores only.\nService and Quality of the product that Pet Lover Centre provides to each of these customer are useful. This would permit the customer have rely upon their product and ready to go to the stores again. And this enables the client to recommend more pet enthusiasts to drop by their stores. They are doing organise outdoor event and dog or cat contest. This also really helps to promote responsible pet ownerships and also allow owner and domestic pets to enjoy and have fun. And permit customer to know that all this event are in reality organize by your pet Enthusiasts Centre.\nThere are a great deal of pet shops in Singapore. They are simply actually Pet Fans competitor. For the reason that they are doing sell dog or cat products, and their products are for sale at lower price. And they do have their own home brand product. So they might miss out with customer because of that. As the majority of the people wouldn't normally wish to pay too much on products, all they want is their pet eating healthy food.\nInterview of the Pet Owner\nComments: I prefer to buy pet's product from Family pet Lovers Centre. It is because their foods are fresh. As the day of expiry is either one or two 2 time later. THEREFORE I feel safe to permit my pet to consume their food and snack. There was once, I went to other Family pet Shop to get pet food. I observe that the expiry time was just a few month away. Not only that, tiny opening and insect are available on the product packaging which will make me feel so unsafe and quality of food was kind of bad, which give me an awful impression of the stores. So from that point in time, I favor to buy products from Family pet Lovers Centre. Despite the fact that the price was just a little expensive from other stores, it's more worthwhile.\nAlthough the price of the merchandise are slightly more expensive, but there is a lot of promotion going on throughout the year. So whenever there is promotion on the particular product that my dog or cat loves it, I would like to acquire it bulk and there is a free delivery to my house. So it's worthy of buying it and I do not need to carry those things all the way back home. Incidentally, Pet Lovers Centre can be found almost all the shopping malls and it's located near MRT stop too. It had been as convenient as compare to other dog or cat stores. So whenever I stop by to that retail center, I'll always drop by the stores to check on their promotion. As well as the service was excellent, their advice was very clear.\nBeing a member, there are so benefits. During birthday months, you can find 15% discount on the things. Sometime you might even receive free gift idea from them. Tips are given to all or any members; I've attempted to redeem items through online. It was great. They even deliver it to my home. What a good service they provide to all participants. So Pet Lovers Centre is a good choice for all pet enthusiasts.\nPets Lovers Centre has being displaying their finest in providing good service and good quality with their customer. Their marketing strategies had been proven and recognise, this allow them to develop in Singapore and Malaysia. They continue to keep the member up to date with the latest information or promotion through email, E-zine or even typically the most popular cultural network, Facebook.

Ebro Ingredients has a unique access to rice and broken rice due to its presence in the Ebro Foods Group. Rice is milled by the Group in different parts of the world and therefore we can offer an unlimited amount of rice, broken rice and rice flours of different qualities to our customers. Our native rice flours are ideal for extruded feed and pet food, but we also produce pregelatinized rice flours that are very suitable for liquid products or for cold pressed pet food.\nEbro Ingredients also offers yellow pea and fava bean concentrates obtained by air classification technology. The following 100% natural and sustainable fractions are obtained from yellow pea and fava bean; 55 to 75% protein concentrates, starch concentrates, and fiber fractions.\nPea starch is a popular product for feed and pet food applications due to its nutritional composition, digestibility, water binding capacity, thickening and gelling properties, and economic value. Pea starch can be used among others in grain free pet food, extruded products, and high meat dog and cat food. Finally, another interesting application is the replacement of potato or potato flakes by pea starch.\nPea proteins have been used in pet food for many years, and there is a growing interest in their use. Traditionally, pea protein is used to increase the protein quality and content due to its high digestibility. Lately, a second driver is the rapid growth of grain free pet foods. Our protein concentrates are 100% native thus enhancing binding making it therefore a valuable ingredient for pet food.\nContact us and learn all about our solutions for Animal nutrition & pet food.\nOryzaGEL and PisumGEL\nEbro Ingredients precooked rice flour, OryzaGEL, and precooked pea starch concentrate, PisumGEL, are excellent ingredients for preparing cold pressed pet food. Not only do they contain valuable nutrients like carbohydrates and protein, they also create a great texture and they function as a binder.\nCold pressed pet food is becoming more and more popular, but its production process is a challenge because such products are cold pressed and do not undergo any heat step. All ingredients used, therefore, should be ready-to-eat and precooked. With OryzaGEL and PisumGEL this challenge can be easily overcome.\nInterested in knowing more?", "domain": "pet"}

The aquamarine of\nthe gulf is a fitting background for the gorgeous jewel red of Calisa's world famous red poodles.\nPuppies born here have found wonderful homes in places far away as Australia, Japan, S. Korea, Mexico,\nColombia , Honduras, Puerto Rico, France, Italy, Switzerland, and all over the United States and\nCanada. Puppies born in our home have grown up to be top show dogs and major producers, earn\nobedience degrees, perform in plays and dance troupes, become therapy dogs and agility enthusiasts,\nand best of all, become beloved family members.\nTemperament is our first and foremost consideration at Calisa Poodles. Calisa Poodles are \"people dogs\"\nto which anyone who has lived with one can attest. We select, breed, and raise ours with temperament\nour top priority. Poodles live to be with their people, and nothing is more flattering than a Calisa\nPoodle. Whether you are absent for one hour or six, a warm welcome is assured. After all, you are the\nmost important thing in his or her life. Here again, our attention to, and expertise in selecting\nfor temperament gives the owner of a Calisa Poodle an advantage. Our ideal temperament is that of the\npoodle who plays actively when encouraged on the floor, but is perfectly content to be on the laps of\nhis own people. We have found that this temperament best serves a Calisa Poodle whether destined to be\na champion of the show ring or of the home. Variations in temperament can provide the basis for\nselection for different situations. We also have the nonstop cuddlers and the even more adventurous\nindividuals. Whether male or female, each Calisa Poodle is a definite individual, and we are aware of\nhis/her unique personality. Both Calisa boys and girls make equally wonderful companions- the\nindividual's own personality should take precedence over a preference for one sex or the other.\nEvery Calisa Poodle has been examined by our veterinarian and is accompanied by a veterinarian health\ncertificate. An individual complete written health record with all inoculations is included. Every\nCalisa puppy is treated as if he will be a permanent resident in our own home and every recommended\nvaccination is given. This means that a Calisa puppy generally has had more shots at any given age\nthan a poodle purchased elsewhere. Full instructions for continuing this program of protection are\nnoted for you and your veterinarian's convenience.\nHere at Calisa Poodles we have been actively checking our poodles, all colors, for hereditary eye\nproblems since 1977. Our poodles are certified by one of the most esteemed diplomates of the American\nCollege of Veterinary Ophthalmologists.\nWe feed the highest quality premium diet available. By providing the best diet, you are assured of the\nbest possible nutritional start for your poodle. It is important that a puppy remains on this food\nat first, and changed only gradually to another if necessary. Therefore, we provide some of this food\nwith the puppy, in addition to a written guide to feeding and care for the new puppy owner.\nThis extra care is also reflected in our shipping arrangements. We always choose the best flight and\nthe most direct route. Hand delivery to major airports is an option sometimes available.\nCalisa Poodles is dedicated to breeding the most outstanding poodles available to the show minded,\nserious fancier/breeder, and obedience exhibitor. We are known worldwide for our red poodles. We are\nproud that CALISA POODLES:\nWe also raise, show and finish outstanding champion poodles in the other colors.

Generations of\nchampions and producers result in a poodle that is top quality and is capable of producing it, too.\nA poodle exclusively for companion enjoys this very same quality, and has always been placed in an\napproved home with a spay/neuter agreement since 1977.\nIn selecting a Calisa Poodle, you are acquiring the years of selective breeding in the background as\nwell. Calisa Poodles offers puppies, adults, and occasionally selected champions out of champions and\nTop Producers. Calisa Poodles concentrates on toys. Occasionally, we do have small to full size\nminiatures (11\"-14\" at the shoulder). These are particularly appropriate for homes with small\nchildren, and are well suited for longer walks. We prefer to show the smaller toys; therefore we\noften have the very tiny ones popularly known as \"teacups\" or \"pocket toys.\" Since there is no\nestablished standard for \"teacups\", we consider that it will be one if we feel the puppy will grow to\nno more than 81/2\" at the shoulder. The little ones are amazing for their intelligence in incredibly\nminute packages. At Calisa we keep these tiny ones longer in order to ensure that they are healthy,\nthat they have the best possible start in life, and that they are truly tiny. When choosing the size,\nbone structure and build are important factors as well as height.\nRegardless of size or destination, all Calisa Poodles are given EXTRA special attention to ensure\nthat each one will be the real \"people dog\" your poodle should become.

They also share the reminder that the disease incidence is becoming endemic in new areas.\nIf your dog plays in wooded areas, once in a while he’ll probably pick up a tick or two. Yes, even if you use prevention. No matter what you use for prevention … even the toxic, carcinogenic pharmaceutical products aren’t 100% tick proof.\nThe good news is that most tick-borne diseases aren’t transmitted immediately. So, if you get ticks off your dog within 24 to 36 hours of a tick bite, he’s unlikely to get infected.\nBut that means it’s really important to check your dog for ticks and remove them quickly.\nBut before we talk about the do’s and don’ts of tick removal, let’s look at the tick diseases your dog might be exposed to.\nTick Diseases In Dogs\nAre ticks common where you live?\nHere’s how to find out …\n- The most common diseases ticks can pass on to dogs\n- Which ticks carry those diseases\n- Geographic areas where these ticks live\nThis is an emerging disease that’s quite rare but worth mentioning because it’s not spread by a tick bite, but by dogs eating infected ticks …\nAmerican canine hepatozoonosis (ACH)\n(Hepatozoon canis, Hepatozoon americanum)\n- This can happen when a dog removes ticks off his own body, or if he eats prey that has ticks.\n- It can be a highly debilitating disease. So it’s especially important to remove ticks from your dog before he does it himself!\n- ACH exists in the south-central and southeastern US\nIs There Tick Disease Where You Live?\nTo check the incidence of tick disease near you, go to the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC). They have nice interactive maps for the US and Canada on their website.\nThese maps show the prevalence for Lyme disease, erlichiosis and anaplasmosis for 2019 … You can also find maps for Canada.\nAs you view this data, keep in mind that the big pharmaceutical companies sponsor this CAPC website. You know, the companies who make money when you buy their tick products!\nRemoving Ticks From Your Dog\nThe first rule is to get ticks off your dog quickly.\nSo let’s take a look at some DOs and DON’Ts to keep in mind.\nDO … remove ticks within 24 to 36 hours of a bite.\nIf your dog’s out every day in areas with ticks, then you need to check him every day. Otherwise, check him when he’s been in the woods or any tick-infested area.\nTIP: Some dogs may “show” you where they have a tick. Watch your dog to see if he’s scratching or biting at himself repeatedly in one place.\nDO … check him thoroughly all over.\nTicks especially like to hang out in places like …\n- His groin\n- Between his toes\n- In or around his ears\n- Around the anal area\n- His tail and eyelids\nTIP: If you have a long-haired or double-coated dog, use a dog hair dryer to blow his coat around. The hairs will part so you can see his skin and spot any ticks lurking there. You can also use your own hairdryer on a very cool setting so you don’t burn your dog.\nIf You Find A Tick On Your Dog\nDO … use tweezers:\n- Part your dog’s hair around the tick with your fingers.\n- Place the tweezers around the tick, as close as you can get to the skin.\n- Don’t twist or jerk the tick.\n- Pull gently upwards with steady hands. Add pressure until the tick lets you pull it away from the skin.\n- Clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, iodine, or soap and water.\n- Dispose of the tick by killing it in alcohol … or flush it down the toilet.\n- If you’re concerned about tick disease, save the tick in alcohol for testing.\nDO … use a tick removal gadget.\nThere are several on the market. I like the Tick Key and I keep one in a few rooms of my house so it’s close at hand when I find a tick on my dog. You can also keep it on your key ring.\n- Place the large opening of the Tick Key over the tick as close to the skin as you can\n- Slide the Tick Key until the tick is in the narrow slot at the end\n- Keep sliding the tick key in the same direction, along the skin\n- The tick will come out including the head and mouth parts in all\n- Clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, iodine or soap, and water\n- You can kill the tick by putting it in alcohol, or wrap it in tape and flush it down the toilet\n- If you’re concerned your dog may have contracted tick disease, save the tick in alcohol for testing\n- DON’T … remove ticks with your fingers (though I must admit I do sometimes). If you do this too, use a tissue or paper towel. Disinfect your hands afterward with soap and water. You don’t really want tick saliva or blood on your fingers. And don’t forget to clean the bite area on your dog.\n- DON’T … squish or crush a tick. This can force infected body fluids through the tick’s mouth. It increases the risk of infection for you and your dog.\n- DON’T … worry if the mouthpart of the tick stays in your dog’s skin. It can happen sometimes when they’re really well embedded. It’s a bit like having a splinter and it will fall out in a few days.\n- DON’T … put things like nail polish, vaseline or repellents on the tick to try to suffocate or kill it. This can cause the tick to vomit into your dog, increasing the possibility of infection.\n- DON’T … burn the tick with a lighted cigarette or hot match. These can also cause vomiting.\n- DON’T … throw the tick in your trashcan or sink. They can easily crawl back out.\nHow Long Can Ticks Survive Without A Host?\nI’ve often wondered about this because I’ve sometimes dropped a tick after removing it … so I looked it up.\nNow I’ll be a lot less worried that there’s a tick wandering around my house looking for someone to bite.\nThis is what I found out about deer ticks and most other hard ticks – the ones that usually carry disease.\n- They can dry out and die very quickly if humidity is less than 90%.\n- Most won’t survive 24 hours and will often die within 8 hours.\n- On moist clothing in a laundry hamper they might survive 2 or 3 days, or longer if they’ve recently had a blood meal.\nBut what if you bring ticks home on your clothes?\nWell, here’s what a study by the University of Vermont found. Putting your clothes in the dryer for 5 minutes on high heat will kill ticks.\nIf you wash your clothes first, the water temperature needs to be above 115°F to kill them.\nIf a tick survives the wash cycle, put the clothes in the dryer. Dry for 70 minutes on low heat or 50 minutes on high heat.\nThis study used Blacklegged (deer) ticks … so other ticks may respond differently.\nOf course, keeping ticks off your dog in the first place is the best strategy. But it’s always worthwhile taking the time to check him regularly for ticks.\nIf you remove them promptly, the likelihood of your dog getting a tick-borne disease is very low.\nNow, before I go …\nHere are some quick tips to help keep the ticks off your dog in the first place:\nKeeping Ticks Off Your Dog\nThere are many chemical tick preventives that can harm your dog.\nThese include spot-ons and sprays or collars that repel insects. They include brands your vet may prescribe like …\nThese pesticides are toxic and can all cause risky side effects in your dog.\nThere are also some new oral flea and tick preventives. You give them monthly or every three months. The brand names are Nexgard, Bravecto, and Simparica.\nYou might think it sounds very convenient to just give your dog a tasty chew every month or so … but they’re very risky.\nThese drugs circulate in your dog’s bloodstream. Once in the blood, they work by attacking the nervous system of the insect to kill it.\nThis means they can also be dangerous for your dog.\nThe side effects include …\nOnce these drugs are in your dog’s bloodstream, they’ll be there for several weeks or even months.\nSo if your dog has an adverse reaction, you can’t get it out of his system!\nIt’s much safer to avoid these side effects by using organic and natural tick repellents.\n3 Natural Solutions\n1. Stopping Ticks With Food\n- Garlic – Garlic helps repel fleas and ticks as the odor comes through your dog’s skin. Don’t think garlic is toxic to your dog! It’s a healthy addition to your dog’s diet. The key is to feed the right dose – about 1/3 tsp of fresh chopped garlic per 10 lbs of your dog’s body weight.\n- Apple Cider Vinegar – Give your dog 1/2 tsp per day per 25 lbs of body weight. Add it to your dog’s food or water bowl. The apple cider vinegar adds acidity to your dog’s blood. This makes him less appealing to ticks – and fleas too!\n[Related: Garlic For Dogs: Poison Or Medicine?]\n2. Topical Tick Preventives\nHerbal Flea And Tick Powder\nHerbal Flea And Tick Collars\nYou can make your own herbal flea and tick collar by …\n- Mixing 2 Tbsp of almond oil with 2 drops of rose geranium essential oil or palo santo essential oil.\n- Dab a few drops on your dog’s collar or a bandana.\n- Remove the collar or bandana when your dog comes indoors.\n- Reapply the essential oil to the collar or bandana weekly.\nThere are also several herbal or essential oil tick collars you can buy.\nAvoid any products containing essential oils of wintergreen, pennyroyal, and clove. These oils are dangerous for your dog and should not be used for any reason.\nMake your own tick shampoo …\n- Mix several drops of palo santo essential oil with your favorite organic lavender shampoo.\n- Let the suds sit on your dog for 20 minutes, then rinse.\nThis will kill any existing ticks … and help repel new ones.\nMake your own citrus repellent …\n- Cut a lemon into quarters and put them into a pint jar.\n- Cover with boiling water. Let it steep overnight.\n- In the morning, pour the liquid into a spray bottle.\n- Mist your dog (be careful around his eyes and nose).\nTIP: For best results, pay special attention to these areas …\n- behind his ears\n- around his head\n- the base of his tail\n- his armpits\nDiatomaceous Earth (DE)\nDE is a fine white powder. It’s the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic creatures called diatoms.\n- Buy food grade diatomaceous earth.\n- Sprinkle a small amount on your dog, starting at the tail.\n- Hold back the coat so you get the powder on his skin.\n- The powder will pierce the protective structures of ticks.\n- They will dehydrate and die.\nIt’s safe for your dog but can be drying to his skin. So don’t over-use it, and be careful not to get it in his eyes, nose or mouth.\n3. For Your Yard\nIf ticks live in your yard, you can take steps to get rid of them.\nNematodes feed on tick larvae. This breaks their life cycle and kills off the parasite. The beneficial nematodes are microscopic, worm-like organisms that live in soil. They eat many kinds of garden pests as well as fleas and ticks.\nYou can buy them online at places like Arbico Organics or Amazon. They come ready to use. Add water as directed on the package. Spray them throughout your yard using a hose sprayer or a watering can.\nUse food-grade DE and sprinkle it around your yard. The powder is lethal to ticks and fleas but safe for pets and humans. And it won’t hurt beneficial earthworms either. It also contains minerals that are good for your garden.\nLet your dog be a dog and don’t worry! There are many ways to protect your dog from ticks.\nTicks don’t always have to be scary! Remember to check your dog for ticks.\nOh … and don’t forget to check yourself as well!", "domain": "pet"}

The genus encompasses 75 described species of fish, all of whom are native to the slow-moving waters of Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, among others. The average pet store visitor is most likely to encounter the domesticated betta splendens, but all of these fish share a fascinating evolutionary advantage: the labyrinth organ. This organ allows bettas (as well as their cousins, the gourami) to breathe oxygen directly from the air above the surface of the water.\nFor reasons that I won’t go into in great detail, I choose not to breed or support the sale of domestic bettas within the hobby. The two domestic splendens that I have owned since getting serious about the hobby were rescue fish, and managing their health since bringing them home has been an ongoing struggle.

Large indoor and outdoor play areas offer plenty of room to make new fur-friends, and human Pack Leaders provide constant supervision, safety, and love.\nWhy Dog Daycare?\nDaycare gives your dog a chance to have fun with his four-legged pals while you’re off doing important human stuff. Well-socialized dogs are more likely to get along with other dogs and people, and you can feel comfortable taking them out or having company because you know they’ll behave.\nEven the best dog can have an accident if you ask him to hold it for too long. As your dog ages, it may become difficult for him to wait for you to get home for his potty break. Puppies need more frequent breaks as well (see our Puppy Playschool page), while their tiny systems work up toward being able to hold it for longer periods of time. Arranging for daycare on those long workdays (plus the monster commutes) means you can save your road rage for another time, because you don’t have to be in a frenzy to get home and let the dog out to potty.\nNew puppy? Young puppies participate in Puppy Playschool from age 8 weeks to 16 weeks, where they receive extra supervision and special playgroups! Click here for rates and details!\nThings to Know About Daycare:\n— All dogs must be up to date on the following vaccinations: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella. We also highly recommend vaccinating against canine influenza.\n— Vaccinations must be administered by a licensed veterinarian and proof of vaccines must be provided prior to admittance to daycare.\n— Dogs are required to be spayed or neutered past the age of 8 months to participate in daycare.\n— We maintain a three strikes and you’re out rule for behavioral issues at daycare. Parents will be notified by pack leaders each time an incident occurs. Depending on the severity of the incident, we reserve the right to expel a dog from daycare at any time for behavior that is not appropriate for off-leash playgroups.\n— Dogs are required to be up to date on flea and tick prevention. Flea/tick collars ARE allowed, however, they are considered a hazard and may get chewed off or damaged during the course of regular play. Hounds Hideaway is not responsible for replacing damaged or destroyed flea/tick collars.\nClick Location name below to view Rates\nAre reservations required?\nOnly for your dog’s first visit (see next question about getting started). Once your dog is an established client, you can bring him in for daycare without a reservation.\nHow do I get my dog started in daycare?\nClick here to complete our registration forms online! From there, you’re ready to schedule your dog’s first day of daycare with us. On their first day, we ask that you drop your dog off with us between 6:30 and 9am, and pick up between 2:30 and 6:30, so we have plenty of time to integrate him into playgroups at whatever pace he’s comfortable with. Profiles require one-on-one time with our human Pack Leaders, so reservations are required. New furry clients are accepted Monday through Thursday and spots are limited on each day to ensure your dog and his Pack Leader are not rushed in their introductions to all the new activity. We’ll spend time getting to know your dog, and will introduce him to our own pack dogs slowly throughout the day. Based on his play style and interactions with dogs, he’ll be integrated into playgroups that are most compatible with what he prefers. Keep in mind that dogs who show signs of aggression toward people or other guests will not be approved to participate in group play.\n- What are the requirements for participating in dog daycare?\nAll dogs must be up to date on vaccinations for Rabies (1 or 3 year), Bordetella (every 6 months), and DHLPP. If your dog is nearing his due date for vaccines, please remember that Bordetella vaccines must be given at least 48 hours before arriving at Hounds’ Hideaway. The following are also required for dog daycare participants: – puppies must be at least 16 weeks old* (and have at least 3 rounds of boosters and a negative fecal exam) – *puppies age 8-16 weeks can participate in Puppy Playschool – click here for details. – dogs must be spayed or neutered by age 8 months – must be on flea/tick prevention and be flea-free upon arrival\n- I just got a puppy. When can he start daycare?\nCongrats! Call us to make arrangements. We offer a modified Puppy Program for little ones that are not quite old enough or ready to participate in regular daycare. Socialization is critical for your young puppy, and daycare is THE best way to start him off on the right paw!\n- What is the policy for half days?\nDue to the setup of our playgroups and lobby hours, half days are required to fall either during our morning hours (6:30a-11:30a) or our afternoon hours (2:30-6:30p).\n- Do I need to bring food for my dog?\nNo. If your dog has a specific diet that requires him to eat more often or is a very young puppy, you may bring food from home and we are happy to feed your dog midday if requested.\n- Why is my dog so tired after he comes to daycare?\nRest easy, this is totally normal. Starting dog daycare is like asking a human couch potato to hop up and run a 5k! Dogs at home are used to sleeping most of the day, but in daycare it’s all about mental and physical exercise. That said, if we notice that your dog seems to be overly tired during the day, he’ll get a nice nap break in a private suite to help him catch up. You’ll probably also notice your dog drinks a lot of water after a play day. The pups always have access to as much water as they like, but they play a lot during daycare and may still need to rehydrate more than usual.\n- Are the dogs supervised when they play in groups?\nYes. Constantly. By a highly-trained-human.\n- What are the pickup and drop-off hours for daycare?\nMonday through Friday 6:30am-11:30am and 2:30pm-6:30pm, and Saturday 8am-5pm. The blacked out periods are set aside for the dogs’ nap time and human shift changes, and NO pickups and drop offs are allowed during these times. There is no daycare on Sundays, but we are open from 10-12 and 3-5 for boarding pick up and drop-offs.\n- Are there any risks I need to be aware of before letting my dog play in dog daycare?\nYep. Most of the time, they are things that have nothing to do with us humans. A few examples: > Dogs playing together may nicely get carried away but still be poked or cut by a long nail or an accidental bite. > A playful puppy may get too far into another dog’s personal space, causing the older dog to snap back out of reaction (not aggression). > A pair of dogs might play chase and jump off a platform or toy and sprain an ankle.\n- What are the requirements for participating in dog daycare?\nREADY TO JOIN THE PACK?\nClick here to complete our New Client Registration Forms, and then you’re ready to schedule your dog’s first day! We ask that the dog be left with us for a Full Day on their first visit, in order to give us plenty of time to integrate them into the playgroups at whatever pace they are comfortable with. It is very important that this process not be rushed, so as to give your dog a great experience and first impression to pack play. This time also helps our Pack Leaders get to know your dog and determine which playgroups he will enjoy most. Think of it as a meet and greet! Advance bookings are required for the first day, and drop-offs are scheduled between 6:30am-9am Monday to Thursday. Once your dog is “in,” he can come anytime you like! Keep in mind that dogs who show aggression toward humans or other dogs will not be admitted to daycare. The safety of our people and your dogs are our highest priority!\nAfter playing all day with friends, it’s likely your dog will be pretty worn out! If he goes home and crashes on the couch until the next day, don’t worry! Dogs normally sleep 18-20 hours a day, so even he isn’t actively playing at daycare the whole day, he’s still awake a lot more than he is at home, and being tired after all that stimulation is okay! Our pet parents like to say their dogs are “Hideawasted” and love to share pics of their pups in full hangover mode!", "domain": "pet"}

I received my Bachelors degree in Developmental Psychology from The College of New Jersey and I earned my Masters Degree in Applied Psychology focusing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from Rider University. Behavior Analysis is the scientific study of principles of learning and behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis is a systematic approach used to examine behavior and reliably related environmental variables in order to use behavioral techniques to bring about a desired change in behavior.\nI use reinforcement based techniques to teach new behaviors as well as to decrease problem behaviors. This is achieved by teaching positive replacement behaviors for the problem behaviors. These changes in behavior are brought about using shaping techniques and differential reinforcement (positive reinforcement of appropriate behaviors combined with withholding of reinforcement for inappropriate behaviors).\nI use fear-free, reinforcement based training and follow LIMA guidelines for the least-intrusive, minimally aversive methods of achieving behavior change.

Courtney has done a wonderful job with our puppy, Maggie. Now our puppy is calmer and has learned how to appropriately greet people and walk on leash.

Courtney is an awesome dog trainer! She is reliable and makes extra efforts to ensure the well being of all her clients. On top of all the great things Pawsome Behavior has to offer, Courtney is a wonderful person who truly has a passion for what she does!\nWren, Isla's Mom\nCourtney has a been a HUGE help in guiding my partner and I with the addition of another pup.

The photo here is of her last visit to Galveston, which was yesterday. She loved the beach, it was her favorite place, so we took her for one last visit. As you can see, we had the beach to ourselves, down by San Luis Pass, and Weagle strolled in the surf and chuffed at some birds, and had her own Sausage McMuffin as a treat.\nWeagle was an extraordinary being. She came into our lives as a tiny puppy, adopted from the Houston SPCA after Houston was devastated by storm damage and flooding from Tropical Storm Allison. We knew there would be a lot of dogs hitting the shelters after the storm, and we knew we had to help save at least one.\nWhen we got to the shelter, there were two of cutest little black-and-brown puppies in a crate together, litter-mates. The sign said they were six weeks old, and that they were Rottweiler/Labrador crosses. We picked one to bring home, and she fit in my cupped palms, and was the calmest, sweetest dog we had ever met. That changed dramatically once we got her de-wormed and her true nature as a smart, protective, complex, loving, vigilant, fiercely loyal family member was revealed.\nWe gave her the name of Princess Buttercup (from the film The Princess Bride), and as she grew her face (and howl) began to look very much like a beagle, so we started referring to her by the nickname of Rottweagle (combination of Rottweiler and Beagle), which was quickly shortened to Weagle, and became her permanent name. We never did figure out her ancestry.\nI wrote more about her protective and loving nature two years ago, which you can read here: http://www.cleverdonkey.com/1385-wonderful-weagle/.\nWas she perfect? No, but who is? She barked too much, although it was with the best intentions, as she always wanted us to be aware of any real-or-perceived dangers, and we never could convince her the postman wasn’t dangerous (as far as we knew). She did not enjoy rambunctious puppies, although she tolerated them with extraordinary displays of benign disdain. She never fully accepted that she was not part of the committee of humans that ran the household, and although she was never actively mutinous, she did sometimes comply to requests with melodramatic resignation and doggy eye-rolling.\nBut she was a great soul, and highly intelligent. We recently watched an episode of Nova ScienceNow, where they asked the question, ‘How Smart Are Animals?‘, and they showed some of the astonishing levels of intelligence demonstrated by dogs (and dolphins and octopuses and parrots). And while it was a very interesting program, it wasn’t all that surprising to us, because Weagle was damn smart. Smartness is not always convenient in a pet, because intelligence means that the dog will take", "domain": "pet"}

Especially if you're a dog owner who lets your four-legged friend snuggle on the sofa. But that doesn't have to mean you have to give up a cozy and stylish sofa. A dog friendly sofa with removable and washable covers can be the perfect solution for you.\nWhy a dog friendly sofa is important\nThere are several reasons why a dog friendly sofa with removable and washable covers is a wise choice. Here are some of the most important points:\nProtection from dirt and hair\nOne of the biggest problems with setting up with pets is the dirt and hair they can leave behind. A modular sofa with removable and washable covers can help you overcome this challenge. You can simply remove the cover and wash it in the washing machine to get rid of dirt and hair.\nBut did you know that the type of coat your dog has can also play a role? Dogs with short hair like Dalmatians or Boxers may leave less hair on your sofa than dogs with longer fur like Golden Retrievers or Huskies. It is therefore important to also consider your dog's breed when choosing the right sofa.\nAnother benefit of dog-friendly sofa covers is that they can help reduce allergens like pet dander, pollen and dust mites. This is especially important if you or a family member suffers from pet dander allergies.\nHowever, there are other ways to reduce allergies, such as regular vacuuming and cleaning your sofa. Regular cleaning can help reduce the buildup of allergens in your home.\nDurability and comfort\nA Sofa with removable and washable covers can also be a durable and comfortable piece of furniture. The removable covers can help protect the sofa from wear and tear, while providing great seating comfort.\nHowever, if you have a particularly energetic pet, your sofa may wear out faster than expected. In this case, it may be worth investing in a sofa with durable and scratch-resistant materials like leather or microfiber. In this case, we recommend our Velare fabric, which is sturdy, hard-wearing but still pleasantly soft.\nAnd did you know that there are also special sofas for dogs? These are usually smaller and have special padding to suit your dog's needs. So if you have a particularly pampered pet, a dog sofa might be a good choice.\nThe advantages of removable and washable covers\nNow that you understand the benefits of a dog-friendly sofa, let's also take a closer look at the benefits of removable and washable covers:\nRemovable covers are easy to clean and maintain. They can be washed in the washing machine, so you can quickly and easily remove dirt and stains.\nIt's especially important to keep your sofa clean if you have pets. Pet hair and dirt can accumulate quickly and make the sofa unsightly. Using removable covers you can clean your sofa quickly and easily to keep it clean and hygienic.\nAnother advantage of removable covers is design flexibility. You can easily change the covers to change the look of your sofa or adapt it to your changing interior design needs. For easy changing, our Replacement Covers are ideal.\nFor example, if you move into a new apartment or want to redesign your living room, you can simply change the cover instead of having to buy a new sofa. This will save you time and money and give you the freedom to customize your interior according to your wishes.\nRemovable slipcovers can also be cost effective. You can replace the cover instead of having to buy a new sofa. This is especially useful if you have a family with children or pets and often stains and damages your decorative items.\nIf you have a removable cover, you can simply replace it when it gets worn or damaged. This is much more cost effective than having to buy a new sofa. You can also buy different covers to give your sofa a new look without having to spend a lot of money. The Replacement Covers come in various colors and fabrics.\nIn summary, removable and washable covers offer many advantages. They are easy to clean, flexible in design, and cost effective. So if you're looking for a sofa that's both dog-friendly and easy to clean, you should definitely consider a sofa with removable and washable covers.\nYou can find out how this works in our article \"Removable and washable sofa covers - how does it work?\" read.\nMaterials for dog friendly sofa covers\nThere are several materials that can be used to make dog-friendly sofa covers. Here are some of the most common materials:\nMicrofiber is a soft and durable material that is easy to clean. It can also be easily dyed in different colors and patterns.\nMicrofiber is a synthetic material made of very fine fibers. It is very soft and comfortable to touch. Microfiber sofa covers are therefore very comfortable and provide a pleasant seating experience. In addition, microfiber is very durable and resistant to wear and tear. It is also very easy to clean, as dirt and stains can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth.\nFaux leather is a material that is very durable and resistant to scratches and stains. It is also very easy to clean, which makes it a great choice for pet owners.\nFaux leather sofa covers look like real leather, but they are made of synthetic materials. As a result, they are much less expensive than real leather, but just as durable and long-lasting. Faux leather sofa covers are also very easy to clean and can be simply wiped with a damp cloth. They are therefore an excellent choice for pet owners who want a durable and easy to clean sofa cover.\nOutdoor fabrics are also a good option for dog-friendly sofa covers. These fabrics are durable and resistant to dirt and moisture.\nOutdoor fabrics are usually used for garden furniture and other outdoor applications. Therefore, they are highly resistant to dirt, moisture and UV rays. Outdoor sofa covers are therefore an excellent choice for pet owners looking for a sofa cover that is durable and easy to maintain. These fabrics are also available in a variety of colors and patterns, so you can be sure to find a sofa cover that matches your home.\nTips for choosing the perfect sofa for dog owners\nWhen you're looking for the perfect dog-friendly sofa, consider the following tips:\nSize and shape of the sofa\nMake sure the sofa is large enough to comfortably accommodate you and your dog. It should also have a suitable shape so that your dog can sleep and stretch out on it comfortably.\nA sofa is an important part of the living room and should be not only practical, but also stylish. Choose a sofa that fits your living room decor and at the same time meets the needs of your dog.\nStability and robustness\nA dog-friendly sofa should be sturdy and stable to withstand your dog's jumping and climbing actions. Make sure there are no loose parts or delicate areas that your dog could chew or scratch.\nIf you have a puppy that hasn't yet learned to keep his teeth off your sofa, consider choosing a sofa with a durable surface, such as our Velare fabric.\nAdditional protective measures\nAdditional protective measures like sprays and covers can help keep your sofa clean and free from damage. Also, consider giving your dog its own bed or mat to protect the sofa.\nIf your dog spends a lot of time on the sofa, it's important to clean it regularly. Use a vacuum to remove hair and dirt, and wash the covers when they get dirty.\nComfortable and attractive living room decor doesn't have to suffer from having pets. A dog-friendly sofa with removable and washable covers can be a smart way to make your home more pet-friendly without sacrificing your aesthetics. By following our tips and advice when choosing your sofa, you can be sure that you and your dog will enjoy many cozy evenings on the sofa.\nAnother important factor when choosing a dog-friendly sofa is the materials used. Leather or vinyl covers can be easily cleaned and are more resistant to scratches and stains than fabric covers. However, if you prefer a fabric sofa, choose a durable fabric like microfiber or canvas.\nIt's also important to make sure the sofa is free of harmful chemicals that could harm your dog.\nIn addition to being functional and durable, a dog-friendly sofa should also be comfortable. Make sure it has adequate padding and a comfortable seat depth. If your dog likes to sleep on the sofa, you can also consider a pull-out couch or sofa bed.\nA dog-friendly sofa can be a great addition to your home, as long as you make the right considerations when choosing it. With these tips, you can ensure that you and your dog can spend many cozy hours on your sofa.", "domain": "pet"}

Is this a drug for the felines? What does catnip do to cats? If you have the same questions in your mind, then this is the right article for you.\nIn simple words, the catnip is a herb. Cats are very fond of this. This herb activates the happy receptors in the cat’s brain. And the feline starts to enjoy the moment by rolling, rubbing, flipping, and meowing out. Eventually, the pet zones out.\nAre you curious to know more about the catnip? Then dig into the article. You will get to know about the effects and the true sides of the catnip.\nWhat is catnip?\nI have mentioned earlier that catnip is a herb, and it is indeed. The scientific name of this plant is Nepeta Cataria. The active chemical ingredient in this catnip is called nepetalactone.\nThis nepetalactone stays in the microscopic bulbs of the plant. The nepetalactone releases in the air if the bulbs get ruptured. That is why cats chew the seed pods and leave to get more of the chemical. This herb is mostly found at the roadsides of Europe and Asia.\nWhat does catnip look like? Many owners, especially the new ones, wonder about this question. The catnip is a green plant with gray shades. The leaves of this plant are heart-shaped. Both the leaves and the thick stems are covered in fuzzy hairs.\nWhat does catnip do to cats?\nCatnip is a wonder herb that has a different effect on different animals. Even you will be surprised to know that the catnip works differently for each cat. It means every cat has his way to react to the catnip.\nSo, what does catnip do to cats? And if each cat has his own way to deal with catnip, how can we so surely discuss its effect? Well, scientists have observed many cats before and after ingesting catnip. From the statistical data, they came to a point, and that is what I will share with you.\nWhenever a cat smells catnip, it behaves similarly to the queen in season or female cat in heat. Even though the nepetalactone activates the sexual factors, they do not respond to those much. Instead, the cats start rubbing the body and head on everything. In most cases, the felines jump and roll in the bowl of catnip.\nThe cat will continuously roll around, meow in a loud voice, and salivate. The cat suddenly becomes very excited to see his toys and plays with them. The feline will flip around for a period and then will get zoned out. All this time, he will make a meow or growling voice at the same time.\nSome cats exhibit different behaviors after consuming or inhaling catnip. They stretch and drool a lot. The felines may kick around and will chew things.\nYou can ask why the cats do not involve in mating even after taking catnip. Actually, we still do not know the answer. But in maximum cases, the felines do not have sexual contact though the catnip activates the sexual feeling.\nHow long does catnip last?\nYou must be curious to know how long the catnip effect lasts. Well, usually, the cat will stay in a happy and weird behavior for 10 minutes. But it will take 30 minutes to 2 hours for the feline to reset its mood. Generally, the cat falls asleep within 1 hour of eating catnip.\nResponding to the catnip is in a cat’s heredity. Statistics show that about 70 to 80 percent of cats exhibit the same behavior after eating or smelling catnip.\nHow does catnip work?\nNepetalactone, the catnip’s volatile oil, attracts and triggers the response of a feline. But how does the catnip work?\nGenerally, when a cat kicks, smells, chew, or rubs the catnip leaves, the oil gets released. After that, it enters the feline’s nasal tissue and binds to the protein receptors. These receptors stimulate sensory neurons.\nEventually, the neuron cells provoke a response in the olfactory bulb. This bulb projects several brain functions and controls a cat’s hunger and emotion. So, when your cat inhales or eats the catnip, and information flows from the olfactory bulb to the master gland. And the cat starts reacting differently.\nRemember, the reaction of a feline who has consumed catnip will differ from the one who has just inhaled the smell. Also, the more the cat will consume or inhale the catnip, the deeper reaction you will get from him.\nIt might seem that a cat can devour as much catnip you provide. But that is not the case. After a while, the feline will stop consuming or smelling the herb. Even he will completely ignore the catnip for 1 to 2 hours.\nHow to use catnip for cats\nThe cat owners use the catnip for various reasons. The main purpose is obviously to encourage cats to play and explore more. But do you know you can use this herb to train your cat?\nYes, that is right. You can place a little catnip in the scratching post to encourage the cat to scratch. However, if the cat is not entering into the carrier, place a little catnip inside to create a positive environment. Moreover, some vets and cat owners use catnips to relax and calm the cat.\nCatnips are quite popular, and you will find it in various forms. For example, dried catnips, catnip toys, solid catnip balls, live catnip plant, catnip spray, catnip bubbles, etc. You can use any category but do not overuse the herb on the cat.\nIs catnip good for cats?\nAfter reading all these benefits and amazing facts about catnip, you may be thinking either it is safe for the cat or not. There is no evidence that the catnip causes harm to the cats. But yes, limit the use. If the cat consumes a lot of catnip, it will upset his tummy. And he will vomit or suffer from diarrhea.\nWhat does catnip do to cats? I hope you have got your answer. Catnips are safe for your cats as long as he does not consume a lot.", "domain": "pet"}

Perhaps in hopes of getting that puppy or hamster they have wanted. Here are some pet saving tips and ideas for you to consider if a pet is in your future.\nBefore buying a pet, research how much it will cost to care for. Take into account the cost of food, medical expenses, toys, accessories, and training time.\nSmaller pets such as mice and hamsters are much less expensive to keep than larger pets like dogs. They also require less attention.\nConsider adopting a pet from the local animal shelter rather than purchasing from a pet store or breeder.\nMake your own pet toys. Pets are like babies. They're more likely to enjoy the box the toy came in than the toy itself. You've got plenty of interesting, entertaining, and chewable items lying around the house already.\nConsider purchasing and installing pet doors. This will reduce the cost of heating your house in winter and cooling it in summer as you won't have to open and close the door for your pet each time he must go out.\nCompare prices on pet food. Most brand names come with basically the same ingredients, but their prices can vary greatly. Comparison shopping can save you a significant amount of money. Purchasing food in bulk, when possible, at warehouse and discount pet stores can save you money. Be sure to compare these prices against sales at local stores that can sometimes be even better. Consider making your own pet food. There are a number of books that have recipes you can find at your local library, or you can go online into many pet specific sites and discussion groups to learn how to do this. Always feed your pet the correct amount of food. Overfeeding pets is common, which not only costs extra in terms of money for food, but also in health and vet costs.\nGet the proper treatments, shots, and vaccinations for your pet when they are recommended. Failing to do so will likely cost you hundreds of dollars in later medical expenses. When pet ailments occur, take care of them right away to help prevent costlier treatment in the long run. Vet prices can vary quite dramatically. Take the time to call and compare local vet prices. Choosing your vet solely on the lowest prices, however, should be avoided. You want a vet that you can trust with your pet's life if an emergency situation does come about. The best way to find a trustworthy vet at a reasonable price is to ask your friends and neighbors who have pets. If your pet is a former stray, let your vet know. Some give discounts when treating former stray animals.\nLearn to groom your pet yourself. Your local library or the Internet will have information on how to properly groom your pet. Although certain pets need special grooming care, most pets you can groom yourself and save the expense of paying a professional.\nYou can't put a price on the joy a pet can bring, but a few of these tips can help you save.", "domain": "pet"}

Obesity associated with overeating may lead to various physical illnesses in pets, including heart, kidney and liver problems. Additional stress on joints from excessive weight leads to structural instability and arthritis. Contrary to popular opinion, most pets do not self-regulate the quantity of food they consume. A pet can gain weight when it is fed more than it needs. Overeating in pets is often associated with overfeeding by their owners. This often happens after neutering if food intake is not reduced or if food is always available.\nTo control your pet's weight:\nFeed a well-balanced diet that is appropriate for your pet's\nOnly feed your pet at its regular mealtimes.\nRemove the uneaten portion when your pet walks away from its food bowl.\nAvoid snacks or treats between meals.\nBe sure your pet has some type of daily exercise.\nIf, despite your efforts, your pet is still overweight, it may be necessary to further reduce the amount of food it eats and increase its exercise. Your veterinarian can offer advice on your pet's weight-reduction program. Excessive appetite may be of medical concern and should be evaluated. A pet with internal parasites or an overly active thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), for example, may be hungrier than usual and may not lose condition in the early stages of disease. Apparent weight gain may occur even without excessive food intake. This may be a consequence of other physical disorders, such as undiagnosed tumors or an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Consult your veterinarian about any weight gain or loss accompanying a change in your pet's eating habits. Certain foods can cause medical problems in some pets. Dietary intolerance, or food hypersensitivity, is a form of allergy that may result in skin problems (rashes, itchiness, hair loss) or digestive ailments (vomiting, diarrhea). Behavioral changes may also be associated with certain foods. Irritability and agitation may appear in pets allergic to certain foods. This resembles mood changes in people with allergic responses to a variety of allergens. Some foods appear to promote increased levels of excitement and general arousal. For example, overactivity may be related to high-protein diets. Give your veterinarian the opportunity to evaluate your pet and advise you regarding any health concerns.\nRefusal of Pet Food\nA decreased appetite is often the first sign of an underlying medical problem. Report this to your veterinarian without delay. A healthy pet may learn, however, that finicky eating is an effective way to gain its owner's attention. Many pets learn that if they refuse to eat commercial pet food, their owner will feed them \"people\" food. This may be more true of pet dogs than cats, who are naturally more selective about what they eat. Pets rely on their sense of smell to distinguish what they eat. This survival mechanism is so strong in cats that they will not eat what they cannot smell. A cat with congested nasal passages must be closely monitored until it recovers. Anorexia nervosa, the self-imposed denial of food in order to reduce weight, does not exist in pets. Anxiety-induced anorexia, however, associated with the anxiety caused by social isolation, for example, is relatively common. Pets boarded in kennels may initially refuse food during a period of adjustment. Most of these soon resume eating and require no further encouragement. Some pets become so depressed during periods of separation or confinement that they completely refuse food. This may be avoided if the pet's regular food is provided during boarding. A pet that has not eaten after 2 days must be examined by a veterinarian. If no medical problem is detected, medications that decrease anxiety or increase appetite may be necessary. Some pets avoid eating if eating is associated with negative experiences. For example, aggressive encounters between pets near feeding areas may cause a pet to avoid that location or food. Unless this is corrected by resolving the conflict between pets or changing the location of food, a dog or cat may go hungry. Your pet's appetite is heightened by your presence and praise. If you are often absent and your pet is fed only when you are at home, the pet may be forced to choose between socializing with you and eating. The pet may prefer social interaction to food when these are in conflict.\nPets quickly learn that various types of attention-seeking behavior can result in a food treat from an indulgent owner. A pet's desire for attention, such as for social interaction or exercise, can be misinterpreted as a sign of hunger. To discourage a pet that begs for food or refuses to eat pet food, all household members must completely discontinue rewarding attention-seeking behavior with treats or attention. If these treats are not totally withdrawn, begging will continue and may even accelerate. You must be consistent and dedicated to controlling your own behavior that may contribute to objectionable patterns in your pet. Food is not a substitute for love and attention. Most pets resume eating their own food when they learn that they will no longer be given table scraps. This may take several days, but your pet will certainly not starve in this time. To gradually reintroduce your pet to commercial pet food, mix table scraps with the pet food. Over several weeks, gradually reduce the content of \"people\" food toward a diet consisting exclusively of pet food. In the absence of underlying physical problems, overeating is occasionally associated with emotional causes. Such psychogenic polyphagia may coincide with a stressful event in the pet's life. Introduction of a new pet or anxiety associated with boarding can bring a sudden and transitional elevation in appetite. The problem may be escalated by unintentionally rewarding the pet with additional helpings of food or more attention while it eats. The cause of the pet's emotional upheaval must be controlled. It should be distracted from eating by using other activities, such as exercise.\nAvoidance of Specific Foods\nPets have preferences for the type of food they eat. Some prefer dry food (kibble) over semi-moist or canned food, while others show no preference. Some pets dislike beef, for example, and eat only chicken-based foods. Your pet may learn to avoid a particular food if it perceives a bad taste or becomes ill after eating that food. Owners of hunting dogs may purposely bait the body of a prey animal with foul-tasting substances or with chemicals that induce nausea to discourage its consumption.\nAggression at Mealtime\nAnxiety and general arousal in anticipation of mealtimes can result in agitated or aggressive behavior directed toward a pet's owner or another pet. Agitation just before mealtime can take the form of nipping at the owner or simply jumping or running. Some dogs yawn, scratch or lick themselves, while others chase their tail or dig. Such behavior does not indicate that the pet was deprived of food early in life. It may be seen in pets that have never known starvation and may be absent in pets that have experienced real hunger. Irritable aggression because of low blood sugar can be amplified by the excitement just before feeding. Competition between pets over food may also be expressed as outbursts of aggression. Perhaps the most common type of aggression associated with food is guarding behavior. This is a special type of aggression seen in animals that are defending a valued object, in this case, food. To curb aggressive or agitated behavior associated with feeding, the triggering factors must be controlled. If the antagonist is a dog that steals food from a cat, for example, feed the cat on an elevated surface out of the dog's reach. Pets that become aggressive toward each other should be fed separately and kept apart until their respective portions are consumed. This may require feeding them at opposite ends of the room or in different parts of the home, or feeding one outdoors while the other eats indoors. It may be helpful to increase the number of daily meals by dividing the total daily portion. This may alleviate the anxiety at mealtime by distributing it more evenly over multiple feedings. Feeding time is an opportunity to instruct your dog on appropriate behavior. Make your dog earn its food by requiring it to obey a simple command, such as \"sit.\" This obedience practice sets a tone of calm and controlled behavior at mealtime. A dog that is uncontrollably and inappropriately excited must be taught an acceptable alternative behavior.\nVomiting Associated With Anxiety\nHealthy cats and dogs may vomit relatively often. A pet may vomit digested food or regurgitate (\"upchuck\") undigested food soon after consuming a meal if it becomes anxious during or after eating. Some pets express anxiety by becoming aggressive before feeding. Other pets express anxiety at mealtime by regurgitating the meal soon after eating. It may be helpful to feed smaller portions at more frequent intervals. Place the food dish in a quiet location to give a nervous or shy pet more privacy. If vomiting occurs very often, produces blood clots or traces of blood, or is associated with any other change, such as lethargy or diarrhea, consult your veterinarian without delay.", "domain": "pet"}

Otter Creek breeds, trains and hunts English Cockers imported from the UK, home to some of the finest field bred cockers anywhere in the world, as well as field bred English Cockers. Our foundation stems from dogs sourced directly from the finest lines in the UK and from field champion dogs that have demonstrated superior abilities in the field and loyal companionship at home.\nAt Otter Creek, our Cockers are hunted every day of the season. All of our Sires and Dams have proven themselves, their biddability, and their pedigree over thousands of birds. While Otter Creek is known for its accommodations, wing shooting, culinary production, and attention to detail, our dog work is the highlight for many of our guests and the primary subject of conversation at the days end.\nIn addition to English Cockers, we also have puppies available from litters of our hunting stock Brittany Spaniels, German Shorthairs and Elhew Pointers. Pointing dogs and flushing dogs are a way of life at Otter Creek Farm. Our selective breeding program is committed to bring out the best in the field or as a loving pet and companion for your home. Otter Creek will occasionally breed outside of the Otter Creek Kennel if an exceptional pairing opportunity presents itself. Our desire is to to deliver the same Otter Creek top shelf experience from our Kennels that we are known for as a lodge.\nWe take great satisfaction in seeing our pups come back to Otter Creek with their proud owners who use them to flush and retrieve birds at Otter Creek. Since then Otter Creek has worked with Dan and several other breeders and trainers to import and acquire dogs that have generations of excellence in the field. Otter Creek produces several litters per year. Many of our dogs go to hunting homes, but just as many go to homes where they are a beloved family pet.\nWe work hard have to ensure our Cockers will be the best dog you will ever have in the field and a cherished part of the family in your home. Otter Creek has three choices for acquiring one of our dogs: 8 week old Puppies, Conditioned Puppies, Seasoned Dogs for the field and home. Puppies — We generally have puppies available throughout the year and have multiple colors available with our litters.\nPlease see our Upcoming Littters. Generally our pups are reserved prior to being born. If you would like to be on our wait list, please contact us. All of the puppies are born and raised in a climate controlled area separate from all other dogs.\nAt 3 weeks the puppies and mom are moved to elevated kennels. This keeps the puppies as clean as possible which does 2 things: 1 Lowers disease and parasite possibilities 2 makes crate training later in life a lot easier as it is the same principle as crate training.\nConditioned puppies are exposed to exceptional socialization in and around the home Potty trained and crate trained. Pups are taught Here, Sit and Kennel commands; learned to walked on a leash using a slip lead; and will have begun place board training. They will also be introduced to birds and retrieve introduction for dogs that will be going to hunting homes. You pick him out and we train him.\nWe are often asked whether the Cocker will still bond with its new owner after being with us for its formative years.View More Pictures.

One of my dogs was having really bad skin issues where he was losing his fur and his skin was dry, flaky, red and itchy. Changing his food didn't work, nor did antibiotics. But, low and behold - Head and Shoulders Shampoo for Dry Scalp did the trick in two baths in one week.\nNow that is all I use on all my dogs and their coat and skin have never had a problem again. I have an English Cocker and when we bought her there were skin issues from the start. She was itching all the time and she was losing her fur. After many trips to the vet, we went to a specialist and she immediately diagnosed her with a parasite.\nEven though the regular vet already said it was not a parasite we did what the specialist said to do. Change the flea treatment to one called \"Revolution\" which included the medicine to kill the parasites.\nIn three weeks, she was back to normal and her hair was growing back and no more itching. It took the specialist seeing her in person to figure out what was wrong.\nWe no longer use Revolution but went back to a regular flea treatment. Proper diet can solve a world of issues. Food sensitivities can cause skin issues. Before using harsh chemicals I try natural remedies such as Coconut oil or essential oils.\nOur Lab has that same problem. We purchased Anit Bacterial tablets from the vet, then after a skin swab it fixed the problem.\nWe changed foods, medicated baths, added salmon oil in the food, probiotics, lime dip wash, etc. Nothing worked our Lab was so misserable, but the tablets worked great. After 5 days we saw a huge difference through the 21 day course. I had a cocker who always scratched and lost the fur on his belly.

One critical aspect of cat care is knowing the risks associated with contagious cat diseases. The great thing about many contagious diseases is that they can be avoided. This is the case with feline leukemia, also known as FeLV. It is a life-threatening disease, but can be prevented by keeping your Bengal cat away from other cats that have the disease.\nWhat is Feline Leukemia? It is a viral infection caused by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). It can severely affect a cat’s immune system. This can lead to serious infections, diseases, and even cancer.\nFeLV belongs to the retrovirus family. Retroviruses are a type of virus that can insert its genetic material into a cat’s DNA, causing long-term effects. This makes it difficult to rid the body of the virus and leads to long-term serious health problems, many of which are fatal.\nHow is Feline Leukemia Transmitted?\nFeline leukemia is transmitted from cat to cat through the following ways:\nGrooming and licking can transmit the virus if one cat is infected and shares saliva with another.\nBite wounds or scratches from an infected cat can give the virus to another cat.\nSharing food and water bowls or litter boxes can also carry the risk of passing the virus.\nInfected mother cats can pass the virus to their kittens during pregnancy, birth, or nursing.\nFeline leukemia is not transmitted through casual contact like air or surfaces. It is necessary for cats to have direct contact with each other or bodily fluids to pass on the virus.\nHow Common is Feline Leukemia?\nAccording to various studies, FeLV affects roughly 2-3% of the healthy cat population. That number can be much higher if cats are living in crowded conditions or go outdoors.\nSigns of Feline Leukemia\nIt is important to recognize the early symptoms of feline leukemia, not only for the ill pet, but also to prevent other cats from catching the virus. Some common warning signals include:\nAppetite and weight loss\nLethargy and weakness\nPale gums which can indicate anemia\nEnlarged lymph nodes\nRespiratory or urinary tract infections that occur over and over\nPersistent diarrhea or vomiting\nGradual decline in coat quality and decreased grooming\nNot all infected cats will show symptoms. Some may be carriers of the virus without displaying any signs. However, if you notice any of these symptoms of Feline Leukemia in your precious kitty, see your veterinarian right away.\nDiagnosis: Feline Leukemia Test\nTesting for feline leukemia is straightforward and can be done in your vet’s office. This test should be performed on all new kittens and cats before exposing them to any other cats. The screening involves a simple blood test. If the results come back positive, additional confirmatory tests may be recommended. There can be false positive feline leukemia tests so these confirmatory tests can be very important.\nCan Cats Survive Feline Leukemia?\nThe prognosis and life expectancy for cats with feline leukemia can vary from cat to cat. Some cats can come into contact with the virus and have a temporary infection that then clears by itself. Others are infected for life. The prognosis for those permanently infected is poor.\nIs Feline Leukemia Treatable?\nThere is no definitive cure for feline leukemia. There are, however, treatment options that concentrate on managing symptoms and keeping an infected cat comfortable. Some available options include:\nImmune system boosters\nAntibiotics to address secondary infections\nChemotherapy for FeLV-related cancers\nNutritional support and change in diet\nRegular veterinary checkups to monitor and address any new symptoms\nThis might include providing supportive care, such as administering fluids, maintaining proper nutrition, and providing medications to alleviate specific symptoms.\nFeline Leukemia: Prevention is Key!\nThe only certain way to prevent your Bengal cat from acquiring Feline Leukemia is to prevent them from coming into contact with the Feline Leukemia Virus. The only way to do that is to prevent them from coming into contact with other cats or their belongings. Keeping cats indoors is highly recommended. If outdoor access is allowed, provide supervision to keep them away from other cats or place them in a secure, enclosed environment. You must prevent wandering and fighting.\nAll new kittens and cats should be immediately tested by a veterinarian prior to taking them to your home if you have other cats there. Infection free cats should be housed separately from infected cats. Food, water bowls, and litter boxes should not be shared.\nUnfortunately, many FeLV-infected cats are not diagnosed until after they have lived with other cats. In such cases, all other cats in the household should be tested for FeLV. Ideally, infected and non-infected cats should then be separated to eliminate the potential for FeLV transmission.\nIf your cat must go outdoors, you should follow the following precautions:\nVaccination: Vaccination is the primary way of protecting your cat from FeLV if the kitty is going to be outdoors. Keeping your Bengal cat inside is the best option. If they do not come into contact with other infected cats, they will not contract Feline Leukemia. The vaccine is not without side effects, some of which can be life-threatening. It is also not 100% effective. Keeping your Bengal indoors or in an outdoor secured area is always the best option.\nRegular checkups: Routine veterinary checkups can help detect FeLV infection early, increasing the chance of successful management.\nFeline leukemia is a serious health concern for all cat parents, including Bengal cats. While the prognosis may vary, recognizing early signs and seeking prompt veterinary intervention can significantly improve your cat's quality of life. Regular testing, vaccination, and responsible pet care practices can help keep your beloved feline friend happy and healthy.", "domain": "pet"}

It is almost always transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites an animal or person. Wildlife accounts for over 90 percent of all reported rabies cases each year in the United States. Raccoons, bats, skunks are responsible for most reported cases, but foxes, coyotes and other smaller mammals may also transmit the disease. The Clinton County Health Department advises that the residents should take the following steps to protect themselves and their pets against rabies:\n- Use caution around all wild animals especially raccoons, skunks and foxes. Talk to children now about not approaching wildlife, and to immediately tell a parent or adult if they see a wild animal.\n- Have pets vaccinated against rabies immediately. New York State law requires that all dogs, cats, and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age. Vaccination is also recommended for livestock with frequent human contact.\n- Report all animals bites to your local health department. It is very important that follow up is done on the biting animal to protect the health of the person bitten. If the biting animal is not available, the person bitten may need rabies vaccinations to prevent the disease.\n- Report all contact with bats, including finding a bat in the same room with a sleeping person, to your local health department.\n- Spaying and neutering your pets decrease undesirable behavior, like aggression and roaming and reduces the number of unwanted animals theta may not property cared for or regularly vaccinated.\n- Secure all garbage containers that will prevent access by wild animals.\n- Do not feed wildlife or stray animals and discourage them from seeking food near your home. Feed pets indoors, leaving food outside will attract strays or wildlife.\n- To prevent the spread of rabies, no one should transport or relocate trapped wild animals.\n- Puppies, kittens and other small pets should not be left outside alone (even in fenced area).\n- If your pet fights with a wild animal, put gloves on before you handle your pet. Call your veterinarian or the local Health Department for advice.\n- If an unvaccinated pet comes in contact with a rabid or suspected animal, the pet must be quarantined for six months or euthanized.\n- Vaccinated pets that come in contact with a rabid or suspected rabid animal must be given a booster rabies vaccination within five days of contact.\nFor more information on rabies, contact the Clinton County Health Department at 518-565-4870 or online at www.clintonhealth.org\nBen Baker is the local Wildlife Services specialist with the USDA representing Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties.

Intriguingly, this system is not just present and important in humans, but in other animals, too. This explains why there is a growing market for CBD products for pets, such as these soft chew from Koi CBD.\nYou may be wondering why you cannot just give any CBD product to your dog. While the CBD is the same in products for humans and pets, the other ingredients found in a pet product are veterinarian-formulated. This ensures that they are safe for consumption by your furry friend.\nThe biological systems in dogs are different and more sensitive to those in humans. By giving them products made specifically for pets, you’re just acting in their best interests.\nIngredients used in Koi CBD Soft Chews\nThese chews have a chicken and natural bacon flavor, which has been made entirely with natural ingredients. This product is created with organically-grown hemp, and is non-GMO.\nTrue Spectrum CBD, without THC\nThe hemp extract used in these Koi CBD Soft Chews is True spectrum, and therefore contains all the beneficial properties found in hemp. This means that as well as getting a dose of CBD, your dog may also get some extra help from cannabinoids such as cannabidivarin (CBDV). CBDV is noted for its anti-seizure and anti-nausea qualities.\nHowever, despite having full-spectrum qualities, there is no THC whatsoever in these chews. Some pet products for humans have trace amounts of THC (up to 0.3% in hemp products). But THC is a potent cannabinoid with brain-altering effects. We have much less research on how dogs respond to THC, even in very small doses. That’s why it’s best not to expose them to any THC at all.\nWhy Soft Chews are the best way to give CBD to your dog\nGiving CBD to your dog doesn’t have to be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. Most pet owners will know about the difficulties of getting their cat or dog to keep still and take their medication.\nWith Koi CBD Soft Chews, this problem is taken care of. These pet treats have been designed with only the best ingredients. The chicken and bacon dominates the flavor, and totally covers up the hempy CBD oil. Either add a treat or two in with your pet’s meal, or just give them out separately.\nHow CBD products can improve your pet’s health\nYou can give Koi CBD soft chews to your pet as a treat or dietary supplement, and also as a natural, plant-based treatment for ailments and illnesses that they may be suffering with.\nBefore we get into the details, please remember that these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This article is purely informational, and not intended to help diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical conditions. If your pet is ill, please get medical assistance.\nCBD dog treats for anxiety\nMany dogs endure periods of anxiety at various points in their life. Short bouts of anxiety tend to be due to loud, frightening or unfamiliar noises. Fireworks are notorious with pet owners, and some dogs can get nervous around new people. More serious anxiety can be caused by separation from an owner, or relocating.\nSigns of pet distress can manifest themselves in a few ways. Excessive barking and aggression is often indicative of anxiety, particularly in dogs who do not usually exhibit such behavior. An anxious dog may be found pacing around or panting more than normal. However, if your dog is simply not behaving like their natural self, this could signify a problem.\nKoi CBD Soft Chews help to calm a dog down by resetting the chemistry in their brain. This has the effect of stopping overfiring in the brain, which can cause anxiety. For short-term anxiety, the occasional chew should suffice. However, for long-term benefits, a more regular treatment plan may be needed.\nCBD for dog seizures\nLots of research on CBD’s anti-epileptic and anti-seizure effects has been carried out in humans. It seems that dogs may also benefit from these properties. It is estimated that as many in one and 20 dogs experience seizures. Hence, there is great demand among pet owners for an anti-seizure treatment, and one with few side effects.\nCBD fits the bill. However, it’s important that if you are going to use CBD for such a delicate matter, that you use an authentic product. With Koi CBD’s transparent approach to business, they are a brand that you can put your faith in.\nCBD benefits for dogs in pain\nMany of the conditions that affect humans also affect dogs, with pain one of the most common symptoms experienced. Prolonged pain can have devastating effects on mood and energy levels. Appetite may also decline, and other factors all make for a poorer quality of life.\nCBD is an effective pain-reliever in dogs, making them less sensitive to discomfort. This dampening effect comes from the influence of the ECS in the central nervous system. In addition to general pain, CBD can also help to ease inflammatory conditions in dogs, such as arthritis.\nFinding the right CBD dosage for dogs\nWhen giving CBD to your dog, exercise the same caution that you did when taking it yourself for the first time. Each chew has 2.5mg of CBD, which is a good dose for a smaller dog. With bigger dogs, you can increase the dosage somewhat, but don’t go overboard. As they are much smaller than humans, dogs don’t need as much CBD to get the therapeutic effects.\nAs CBD use becomes more widespread among humans, we can expect the same to happen with our pets. Demand for natural alternatives to pharmaceutical meds is on the increase. And with CBD products like Koi CBD Soft Chews, pet owners have a safe, plant-based solution.", "domain": "pet"}

Their undemanding water conditions and their ease of breeding make them one of the favorite killies among beginners. |\nDifferent varieties of Aplocheilus Lineatus can be observed. The first ones, which are also the ones found in the wild, have a greenish/yellow body with red highlights on the front and the sides of the body. Females have seven dark vertical stripes going from their mid-body to the base of their tail. The second variety is a strain developed in aquarium: Aplocheilus Lineatus Gold (Golden Wonder Killifish). This variety owns much more yellow than its natural cousin. Red highlights can sometimes be found on their fins. The last variety is a mix between the two with a red dominant.\nAplocheilus Lineatus, also sometimes called Striped Panchax or Panchax Lineatus, is a non-annual very hardy killifish. Kept in proper conditions, it can live up to 4 years. In the wild, this fish is found in the still and slow moving waters (streams, reservoirs, rivers) of India and Sri-Lanka. Because it is an avid mosquito eater, it is used to control the mosquito population in India.\nIn captivity, the volume of their tank should be at least 10 gallons. Planted tanks with floating plants are recommended as these fish swim close to the surface. Floating plants are used to hide in. Roots and tall plants can also be added to the tank. Water quality is not really important to raise this fish properly. A somewhat soft and slightly acidic water will do perfectly. Slow moving waters are usually better as it recreates their natural habitat. The tank should be covered as Aplocheilus Lineatus is a great jumper.\nAplocheilus Lineatus diet is not too strict either. Live and dry foods are usually warmly welcomed. It is however better to feed them floating foods as they spend most of their time right under the surface of the water. Live food will help them to develop and keep their best colors. It is also recommended to feed them live food when conditioning them for breeding.\nAplocheilus Lineatus can be kept in specialized as well as community tank. If kept in community, one will be careful not to add it to a tank with smaller fish or fish that could be swallowed by them like small Tetras (neon, cardinals…) as they would eat them easily. Other killifish and bigger fish can be kept in the same tank. Aplocheilus Lineatus is sometimes aggressive towards fish of the same species. In captivity it is recommended to keep them in pair. Several pairs should not be kept together if the tank is not large enough as they will become aggressive towards each others.\nA great website is dedicated to this species with tons of info on how to keep and breed it. Click here to learn more.\n|Breeding: Breeding Aplocheilus Lineatus is easy and can be quite rewarding. Sexual diphormism is obvious. Males are usually much more colorful than their counterparts. They also have longer fins. Natural females are more grayish with seven vertical bars going from their mid-body to the base of their tail. Female Golden wonders are usually grey with gold reflections and no vertical bars. |\nAplocheilus Lineatus are plant spawning fish. They will spawn in community tank but specialized breeding tanks should be used for better results. If trying to spawn them in a community tank, the eggs will often be lost to hungry parents of other tank mates.\nTwo very similar methods can be used to breed Aplocheilus Lineatus in breeding tanks. The first one is to use a small tank (approx 10 gallons) that will not be filled to the surface. Java moss as well as other bushy plants should be provided. Keep the tank cover at all times. No lights or gravel should be added. Water will be soft and slightly acidic and water temperature will average 76F. Condition both the male and the females (1 to 2 ratio) with live foods for several days. After a week or two, introduce both males and females in the established breeding tank. In the morning, the male will start its parade by displaying its best colors to impress the female. The female will then look for a good spot to spawn on (Java Moss). As Everett Talavera explains on his website, the breeding period can last up to 3 weeks with eggs being laid every day (1 to 3 eggs). Eggs must be collected everyday and put in another tank or small recipient (Beta bowl…). The eggs will hatch after 12 to 14 days. Start feeding the newly born fry with artemias or daphnias. The second method involves the exact same conditions except an artificial mop is used instead of the Java Moss. This mop can be created with synthetic yarn. Two mops will be added to the bare tank and the eggs will be removed by the fish keeper every day from the mops. Although the eggs are quite solid, it is recommended to be extremely careful when removing them from the yarn strands. These two methods are explained in details here. The eggs are quite big (1.5 to 2 millimeters).\nSexual maturity is reached after 4 months or 3 inches.\n| || || || || |", "domain": "pet"}

Pet often bark to express their feelings to their human buddy. So, occasionally even a properly behaved dog can beginbarking continually. There are a great deal of factors that might trigger a pet to bark and theirbarking can be very bothersome. Pets often bark to warntheir human companion of a suspicious activity or a suspicious person. Pet dogs may likewise bark due to the fact that they do not trust strange peopleor they are uncomfortable with the presence of odd individuals in their home. Some pets are utilized by their human buddy to warnthem of intruders and any other kinds of risks. However often incessant barking can be extremely irritating and troubling dueto the fact that if your pet dog is barking all through the night, itcan have an negative impact on individuals living in the exact same house as thedog and their next-door neighbors. A pet that is barking continuously cancause a significant boost in the stress levels of individuals in the dog's environment,this can lead to loss of sleep.\nOne of the most popular methods of controlling barkingproblems in pets is using barkcollars. Bark collars is one of the most tender ways of managing constant barking in dogs. It is also an effective way of managing barking issues in canines. A bark collar is likewise an effective method of training a dog, although it is not as extensively used as favorable reinforcement.\nTYPES OF BARK COLLARS\nThere are lots of types of dog collars in the market today,but the 3 most common types of dog collars consist of;\n1. ELECTRIC SHOCK BARK COLLARS COLLARS\nThe electrical shock bark collars are one of the oldest kind of bark collars on the market. They work by providing the pet a mild static electrical power once the vibrations from its vocal cables and barking sounds are found by the sensors of the bark collars. The electrical shock dog collars sends electric existing to canine's muscles whenever he barks. The integrated prongs is typically utilized to deliver the moderate electrical shock which can adjusted in strength inning accordance with the size of the canine and the training requirements. Nevertheless the exact technique that each individual electric shock bark collars works depends upon the model and the producer of the electrical shock bark collar. Most type of electrical shock barkcollars produce a mild electric present when it senses that other the dog is barking.Some people say that the electrical shock bark collarsare vicious because of the mild electriccurrent that is sent to the pet dog's body however it isnot most likely damage your pet dog in any way. Theelectric shock bark collars is frequently utilizedto teach a canine to only bark when it is needed and not just barking ceaselessly. People that are using the electrical shock bark collar for the very first time ought to start with a low level setting and increase it gradually as the scenario needs.\nThe use of electric shock bark collars iscontroversial, but it is extremely effective for managing incessant canine barking as long as the user has sufficientknowledge about it. As well as prevent setting theintensity of the electric shocks too high however rather set it to an strength that is just undesirable sufficient to dissuade the pet from barking. Also some electrical shockbark collars use microphone to sense when the canine isbarking. Some collars however make use of both vibrationsensors and microphones to sense when the dog is barking.\n2. ULTRASONIC BARK COLLARS\nThe ultrasonic bark collars are one of the most popular bark collars in themarket today. This kind of bark collars are used to prevent dogs from barking by utilizingan annoying yet completely safe sound. Ultrasonic bark collars often workby launching a high pitched ultrasonic sound that is stated tobe irritating to discourage the petfrom barking. They are also among the most efficient method of managing a canine's constant barking. The bark collar releases a noise when its microphone senses the pet dog'sbarking that surprises the pet dog without leading to any sort of physical harm. Themicrophones in the ultrasonic bark collars are established to pick up distinct barking, which stops the high pitched ultrasonic noise from inadvertently going off as aresult of other sounds. The high pitched ultrasonic noise given off by the ultrasonic bark collars can not be heard by human beings however they can be heard by pet dogs, and it only lasts for a couple of seconds. Recent research studies have revealed that this type of barkcollars does not have any sort of negative impact on the dog becausethe period of the high pitched ultrasonic noise is managed. Several brands of ultrasonic bark collarshave a favorable tone function that serves asa favorable support when the pet stopsbarking.\n3. CITRONELLA SPRAY BARK COLLARS\nThe citronella spray bark collars work by spraying out citronella unto thedog's snout whenever the pet dog beginsbarking. The citronella spray frequently go for the pet's sense for fast outcomes. The citronella spray barkcollar are created to make the canine link the smell of citronella with barking, so the dog will stopbarking because he does not want smell thecitronella that is typically released as a consequence forbarking. This is typically reliable because the fragrance of citronella is extremely disappointing to canines howeverit is also absolutely safe. Citronella is generally used as an bug sprayby people but it does not trouble humans.\nOnce the pet begins barking, themicrophone will sense the barking and the citronella spray bark collarwill release the harmless citronella aroma. It does not need any human intervention to function and it has no unfavorable impacts on the health of the pet dog, rather it has a relaxing impact on the pet. It likewise make the mostof dogs extreme hatred of organicsolutions. The quantity of citronella launched need to just suffice to stop the dog from barking.\nThe only downsides of using the citronella spray bark collars isthat the fragrance of the citronella might adhereto the canine's body for many minutes or hours insome celebrations.", "domain": "pet"}

This is done using an agreement (or trust) under which you “wear two hats” (as the pet’s owner and as trustee of the trust) and you and your pet become “beneficiaries” of the trust. During your lifetime, as the owner/grantor of the trust you hold beneficial title (ownership rights) to your pet and the trust holds legal title to your pet. You, as trustee, continue to control the care of your pet; when you can no longer care for your pet (for whatever reason), the legal title remains in the trust and your named successor(s), as the “successor trustee(s),” act for your and your pet’s benefit according to your instructions in the trust. Consequently, the continued care of your pet is NOT dependent on your ability to provide such care personally during your lifetime or after you die. You, as the original trustee, and each successor trustee act solely for your and your pet’s benefit (as the beneficiaries of the trust) in accordance with your dictates in the trust, both during your lifetime and after you die.\nIs there any legal difference between them?\nAn unfunded trust has no money set aside to pay for the support of the pet, whereas funded trusts do. Legally, both trusts are equally as enforceable; however, as a practical matter, unless a trustee otherwise has access to your funds to pay the cost of the care (i.e., trustee is also trustee of another living trust covering your other property, your executor/executrix of your will, or your power of attorney where you are incompetent), s/he is not legally required to pay for the care of your pet out of their own pocket except as a volunteer because of their personal affection and connection with you and the pet as beneficiaries of the pet trust. Consequently, there is a chance that an unfunded pet trust simply fails due to no money to sustain it.\nA pet trust can be funded by a lump sum gift in a savings account, a CD or bond investment (e.g., US Savings Bonds), as a beneficiary of an insurance policy, or IRA, retirement or other investment account, and/or as a legacy in your will.\nDo I have to fund the pet Trust at the same time as I sign the form?\nNO, although of course this would be ideal.

Their independent yet affectionate nature has endeared them to countless households. As responsible pet owners, it’s our duty to provide our feline friends with the best possible care throughout their lives. One essential aspect of this care is considering cat insurance. In this article, we will explore the importance of cat insurance for pet owners, helping you understand why it’s crucial and how to select the right plan for your beloved feline companion.\nUnderstanding the Need for Cat Insurance\nJust like dogs, cats can face unexpected health issues and accidents. These may include illnesses, injuries, and routine veterinary care. While we strive to keep our cats safe and healthy, unforeseen circumstances can result in hefty medical bills. Cat insurance serves as a safety net, providing financial assistance when your feline friend needs medical attention. Here are some key reasons why cat insurance is important:\n1. Financial Security\nThe cost of veterinary care has risen significantly in recent years, thanks to advances in medical technology and treatments. While we want the best for our cats, unexpected medical expenses can strain our budgets. Cat insurance offers financial security, ensuring that you can provide your pet with the care they need without worrying about the cost.\n2. Peace of Mind\nKnowing that you have insurance coverage for your cat provides peace of mind. You won’t have to make difficult decisions about your pet’s health based on financial constraints. Instead, you can focus on making the best choices for your cat’s well-being, guided by your veterinarian’s recommendations.\n3. Access to Quality Care\nCat insurance opens doors to quality veterinary care. You won’t have to compromise on the level of treatment your cat receives due to financial constraints. This can be particularly crucial in emergencies or when your cat requires specialized treatments, surgeries, or ongoing medication for chronic conditions.\n4. Coverage for Preventive Care\nMany cat insurance plans include coverage for preventive care, such as vaccinations, wellness exams, dental cleanings, and flea control. These routine check-ups are essential for maintaining your cat’s health and detecting potential issues early. Preventive care can significantly improve your cat’s quality of life and increase their longevity.\nChoosing the Right Cat Insurance Plan\nSelecting the right cat insurance plan is essential to ensure that your pet is adequately covered. Here are some factors to consider:\n1. Coverage Options\nDifferent cat insurance providers offer various coverage options. It’s crucial to review the policy carefully to ensure it aligns with your cat’s specific needs. Look for a plan that covers accidents, illnesses, hereditary and congenital conditions, prescription medications, surgeries, and routine care. Some policies may also include coverage for behavioral therapy.\n2. Age and Pre-Existing Conditions\nMost cat insurance providers have age restrictions for enrolling cats, and they may not cover pre-existing conditions. It’s advisable to research insurance options when your cat is young and healthy to ensure you can secure coverage for their later years. Waiting until your cat is older or has developed health issues may limit your choices and increase premiums.\n3. Cost and Deductibles\nConsider your budget when choosing a cat insurance plan. Compare monthly premiums, deductibles, and reimbursement percentages to find a plan that fits your financial situation. Keep in mind that while lower premiums may be attractive, they might come with higher deductibles or lower coverage limits.\n4. Customer Reviews and Ratings\nResearch the reputation of the insurance provider you’re considering. Read customer reviews and check ratings from trusted sources to get a sense of their track record in terms of customer satisfaction and claims processing. A reputable and responsive insurance company can make a significant difference in your overall experience.\n5. Waiting Periods\nMost cat insurance plans have waiting periods before coverage begins. Make sure you understand these waiting periods, as they can vary between providers and policies. Planning ahead and enrolling your cat early can help ensure coverage when it’s needed.\nThe Role of Wellness Plans\nIn addition to traditional cat insurance, some companies offer wellness plans that focus on preventive care. These plans often cover routine check-ups, vaccinations, dental cleanings, and parasite control. While they may not provide the same level of coverage for accidents and illnesses, wellness plans can be a valuable addition to your cat’s healthcare.\nWellness plans can help you stay proactive in managing your cat’s health throughout their life. Regular check-ups and preventive measures can catch and address potential issues before they become more severe, leading to a healthier and happier pet.\nPreparing for the Unexpected\nWhile we all hope for the best, it’s essential to prepare for unexpected emergencies or accidents involving your cat. Cat insurance can be a lifeline during these critical moments. Here’s how it can help:\n1. Accidents and Injuries\nCats are known for their curiosity and agility, but accidents and injuries can happen to them too. Whether your cat sustains an injury while exploring or gets into an unexpected accident, cat insurance can cover the cost of emergency care, surgeries, and follow-up treatments.\n2. Serious Illnesses\nCats can develop serious illnesses such as cancer, kidney disease, and diabetes. The cost of diagnosing and treating these conditions can be substantial. Cat insurance can ease the financial burden, allowing you to pursue the best possible treatment options for your feline companion.\n3. Chronic Conditions\nSome cats may develop chronic conditions that require ongoing medical care and medication. Cat insurance can provide coverage for the long-term management of these conditions, ensuring that your cat’s health is consistently monitored and treated.\n4. Emergency Surgery\nIn cases where emergency surgery is needed, cat insurance can cover the surgical procedure, anesthesia, hospitalization, and post-operative care. This can save you from facing a significant and unexpected expense.\nAs loving and responsible pet owners, it’s our responsibility to ensure that our cherished cats receive the best possible healthcare throughout their lives. Cat insurance is a valuable tool that provides financial security, peace of mind, and access to quality care for your feline companion. By carefully choosing the right insurance plan, considering wellness options, and preparing for unexpected events, you can give your cat the love and attention they deserve, knowing that their health needs are well taken care of. Remember that a happy and healthy cat is a beloved member of the family, and investing in their well-being is a rewarding choice for both you and your feline friend.", "domain": "pet"}

I haven't said too much because I was afraid I might jinx him. You see, our family has had a tough time with dogs the past year or so. The first one got really sick, the second one ended up attacking another dog when he felt Mike was being threatened (not a bad thing, but not something we could chance again in our neighborhood), the next one was just a little too much to handle (false advertising). We tried to adopt a fourth and completely gave up when she had all sorts of medical things \"pop-up\" once we paid the deposit...amazing how that happens sometimes.\nSo, Bojo was our fifth go 'round in 2009. I love dogs, but I was totally against getting a dog after all the previous tries. I just didn't think I could deal with falling in love with a dog only to lose it in the course of a few weeks. But, Mike was sure that this was the one.\nBojo came to us from another family whose mom had severe allergies. They adopted Bojo as a puppy and tried everything, but her allergies just couldn't be controlled with Bojo in the house. Of course, during that time, Bojo learned basic commands and ate like a horse. When we adopted him, I was amazed at how well behaved he seemed.\nAnd I haven't stopped being amazed. He really is a fabulous dog. He is completely housebroken and crate trained. He knows sit, stay, shake, high-five, lay down and roll over. He doesn't beg for food (but you can tell he's putting a lot of effort into NOT begging...because his whole body shakes when he sees food). He's a great snuggler and an awesome foot warmer.\nAs I mentioned, he ate like a horse in his former home. Now, we're trying to address his love of food :-P. He's on his own little weight watchers regimen of lite dog food and low calorie treats. He seems to be doing pretty well and we've notice that his activity level has actually increased since he arrived.\nBojo is a tri-color beagle. I think his markings are so cute and he's got the best personality. I'm thankful that God helped us find the perfect dog for our family. And, I know that God did that because I am allergic to dogs. Always have been. For whatever reason, my allergies aren't as bad with Bojo.", "domain": "pet"}

We strive to help homeless animals find their new, forever loving homes. We do our very best to assist every pet that comes through our doors.\nAnimal education is another large aspect of our mission. By teaching our community about responsible pet ownership and assisting them with the needs of their pets, we hope to decrease the number of homeless animals in our community.\nThe mission of the Eau Claire County Humane Association is to be a voice for all animals by providing education, resources, and support for the community, compassionate care for homeless animals until they can be placed in forever homes, and coordination with other organizations to promote animal welfare.\nCommunity Involvement to Create Better Lives for Animals\nWe wish to contribute to a better life for animals and to inspire awareness of and compassion for all living beings. We aspire to provide a safe haven, loving attention, nutritious food, meticulous health care, and daily exercise to each and every animal in our care, and to do our best to secure for each of the animals permanent, loving, responsible homes. We shall carefully attempt to match companion animals with caregivers to attain a quality and nurturing lifestyle for both pet and owner.\nMuch of our time and energy goes toward ending the specific problem of pet overpopulation. We will be active in our community educating the children in our schools, bringing the community together with fundraisers and pet-friendly events and ensuring that each pet owner has all the resources and information necessary to care for their pet.\nLearn about volunteer opportunities at ECCHA.\nYou Can Help Save Lives\nWe must rely on donations from our friends and supporters who share our belief that every animal deserves the opportunity to be adopted into a loving home. Because it is difficult to run a shelter based solely on donations, our success depends on you. You CAN make a difference. Your generous support of the Humane Association will help us to feed and care for our local pets until they are adopted into a loving home.\nMake a donation.\nAt the Eau Claire County Humane Association we have an open admission philosophy — we accept every animal regardless of health, age, breed, or temperament. We feel open admission is essential to providing shelter and care to the thousands of animals who otherwise have no safe refuge.\nECCHA is committed to reducing euthanasia. We believe every animal deserves an opportunity. Our goal is to serve animals throughout their lives, and our programs focus on ending homelessness and addressing the needs of animals. We strive to do the greatest good, given limited resources, to help the greatest number of animals. In balancing the welfare of the animals with our responsibility to the public, we recognize not all animals are suitable for adoption.\nWhen the difficult decision is made to end an animal’s life, we believe compassionate euthanasia by injection is the most humane and dignified method. This difficult decision is made ONLY when all other options have been exhausted, including working with other shelters, raising funds to provide for medical care, and utilizing our network of foster homes.\nWorking with all groups, we’ve set our sights on a future where every animal is given a life-long home.\nOur Board and staff are committed to the open admission philosophy, responsibly using our resources to help animals, and finding alternatives to euthanasia.\nView our shelter stats.\nPosition Statement on Declawing Cats\nThe Eau Claire County Humane Association is strongly opposed to declawing cats for the convenience of their owners or to prevent damage to household property. The only circumstances in which the procedure should be considered are those in which all behavioral and environmental alternatives have been fully explored, have proven to be ineffective, and the cat is at risk of euthanasia. Cats' claws play a vital part of in their ability to defend themselves. They use them to capture prey and to settle disputes with or escape from other animals or people who are hurting or threatening them. Furthermore, as part of their daily rituals, cats instinctually pull the claws on their front paws through surfaces that offer resistance. They do this to mark their territory, exercise muscles normally used in hunting, relieve stress and remove worn sheaths from their nails.\nDeclawing of cats, or onychectomy, is the amputation of the last digital bone, including the nail bed and claw, on each front toe. If the surgery is performed correctly and the entire nail bed is removed, the claw cannot regrow. The surgery involves the risk of anesthesia, excessive bleeding and postoperative complications, including infection, and is accompanied by pain that may last from several days to much longer unless appropriate pain control is provided.\nA variety of alternatives exist to manage natural scratching behavior and to prevent injury from cat scratches. These include having a cat's nails trimmed regularly in order to blunt the tips, providing scratching pads, posts and other appealing structures for the cat to use and using behavior modification techniques to induce the cat to use them, using deterrents such as double-sided tape (e.g., Sticky Paws ®) to protect furnishings, and covering the claws with soft temporary pads (e.g., Soft Claws ®). Owners should also be familiar with cat behavior and proper handling techniques to avoid being scratched. Because declawing has not been proven an effective method for improving other behavioral issues, including aggression towards people or other cats, it should never be used as a behavioral remedy or as a preventative measure. Behavior concerns should be discussed with trained behavioral experts, who can recommend techniques that are effective in managing feline behavior issues. Therefore, we believe that is the responsibility of animal welfare advocates to inform individuals of alternative, nonsurgical methods to address destructive clawing, including referral to a veterinarian or animal behaviorist.", "domain": "pet"}

As difficult as it is, focus on what’s in the best interest of your furry family members.\nConsider each person’s ability to properly care for the pets. Who has more time to devote to feeding, exercising, grooming, and playing with them?\nIf one person works long hours away from home, the pets may be better off with the other owner.\nThink about each person’s living situation and how well it suits the animals’ needs. Things like space, access to outdoors, proximity to vet care, and safety are all important. If there are kids involved, assess how the pets interact with each household. Their comfort level matters too.\nDiscuss each other’s willingness to allow visitation. Letting the pets continue to see both owners can make the transition easier and help them feel secure in their new home. Be open to compromise by sharing custody if you’re able.\nDon’t forget that rehoming the pets should always be an absolute last resort. With care, understanding and by prioritizing their wellbeing, you can make this difficult life change as easy as possible for your faithful companions.\nFocusing on the pets, not the people, is the key to an arrangement you can both feel good about.\nLook at Who Takes Care of the Pets\nWhen deciding who gets custody of the pets after divorce, a big factor to consider is who has been primarily responsible for their care.\nIf one person typically handles walking, feeding, bathing or taking the pets to vet appointments, that demonstrates a level of commitment that should be taken into account.\nFor example, if you’re the one who gets up early to walk the dog every morning, or stays home during the day to let them out, you have a good case for being the primary caretaker. Make a list of the daily, weekly and monthly duties for your pets and honestly assess who does what.\nDon’t forget less frequent responsibilities like purchasing food, toys, and other essentials or scheduling annual checkups.\nThe judge will consider this practical division of responsibilities very seriously when determining what living situation will cause the least disruption for the animals. If custody is awarded to the non-primary caretaker, they may require a transitional period where the primary caretaker still helps care for the pets to ensure their needs are met during the adjustment.\nWhen discussing pet custody, try to be reasonable and focus on what’s best for the pets rather than what you want. Be prepared to compromise, as joint or split custody where you share responsibilities may be an option.\nThe wellbeing of your furry family members should be the top priority here. After all, they’re innocent in this whole situation and deserve as much stability and love as possible.\nKeep the pet’s with the children\nWhen deciding who will get custody of the family pet in a divorce, the wellbeing of any children involved should be a top priority.\nKids form strong bonds with their pets, so keeping them together can help provide stability during this difficult transition. Allowing the children to keep their faithful furry friend will give them a source of unconditional love and comfort.\nIf the pet has traditionally acted as an emotional support animal for either spouse or the children, this is an important factor to weigh heavily in the decision making process. The pet’s role in providing mental and emotional support should not be discounted or taken lightly.\nKeeping the pet with those who benefit most from their calming presence may help ease anxiety, stress and upset during and after the divorce.\nArticle by FindLaw: Who gets the dog in Divorce\nOf course, the ability of each spouse to properly care for the pet’s needs is also critical. Things like who typically handles responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, vet care and training should be considered. If one spouse was primarily responsible for these day-to-day duties, they may be in the best position to continue providing a stable environment and high quality of life for the pet.\nIn some cases, shared custody where the pet splits time between two households may be an option. This works best if the spouses live in close proximity and can agree on a harmonious schedule. For the wellbeing of the pet, consistency and minimzing stressful transitions is key.\nIf shared custody won’t work, the next best solution is to choose the home that is in the pet’s best interest based on their needs, environment and the strength of their bond with family members.\nThe most important thing is that the pet feels loved, secure and able to maintain a good quality of life post-divorce. Taking the pet’s happiness and wellbeing into account will help ensure the best outcome for all.\nSo there you have it, some tips to help figure out who gets custody of your furry family members.\nWhile it may not be the most pleasant discussion, approaching it with empathy, honesty and fairness will help ensure the best outcome for your pets’ wellbeing and your future co-pet parenting relationship.\nCompromise when you can, prioritize the animals’ needs, and try to set aside your differences for their sake. Though your marriage didn’t work out, you’ll always share the bond of being their lifelong caretakers. If you get stuck, you could consider using a mediator. But with patience and good faith, you can develop a shared custody solution you both feel good about.\nYour pets gave you unconditional love when you were together, so now it’s your turn to return the favor. Work as a team and you’ll get through this challenging time knowing you did right by your faithful companions.", "domain": "pet"}
