The start of a new year gets pet owners thinking about safety for the furry family members.
Have you thought about how easy it is for dogs of any size to get a hold of a bottle of human medicine? Whether it be aspirin, ibuprofen, cough medicine, prescriptions, pills, liquid, capsules, lozenges, the strips that melt in your mouth. How about the packaging of these items? I don’t know about your dog, but all of mine would have a go at it to get into something that tastes good to them or for the challenge of getting into it. Most of the plastic bottles whether over the counter or prescription are not dog proof, but also can damage a dogs mouth teeth gum’s and paws with the sharp edges of the plastic bottles. Also think about the foil packaging that many of the over counter items come in. If your dog counter surfs in the kitchen they can get a hold of the medicines, also bathroom counter tops, nightstands in the bedroom and coffee tables in the living room are all places that one might place pill bottles for a time. Cats also can also aid in your dog getting that bottle by knocking it off the counter tops or night stands. For your pets safety keep all medicines out of their reach. These are just few things to keep in mind. For a full list of poisonous items for your pet’s, check out the ASPCA website. For the misfortune that you would ever need this information, poison control numbers. Some are free and some require a credit card number. You can also check with your pets doctor.

Now that the weather is getting hot, it’s time to rethink how you travel with your dog. Gone is the season that you can leave your dog in the car with windows cracked while you run into the store for a minute. It only takes a warm day and your car will heat up quickly on the inside. Just think on a day that is only 80 degrees outside, your car inside side can climb to 100 degrees in about 10 minutes. in 30 minutes you’re looking at about 120….ouch! Not to mention the color of your car can have an impact on the temperature inside. Yes, you can leave windows open but if the air outside isn’t moving, your dog isn’t getting any “cool breeze”. Also think about when you are taking your dog for a walk, if you put your hand on the cement…it’s HOT to the touch. So yes it’s hot to your dogs paws also. Try to do your walks in early morning or in the evening. Always remember to carry extra water for your dog whether just walking or going for a car ride.
Mydogiscool.com website. There you can purchase a package of cards(very inexpensive) regarding dogs left in cars on hot days. With these cards you can place on windshields of cars where the dog has been left in a potentially dangerous position. These can help educate the owners about leaving their dogs in a hot car. However if you see the dog is suffering don’t hesitate to call 911 or at the very least go in the store and have the owner paged.
Hope this gives you things to think about this summer.

Have you noticed your dog sctaching more? Or chewing at one spot like on their paw, or even strange scabs on the inside tips of thiers ears? All these signs point to allergies. Most likely put them an allergy food such as duck and sweet potato, fish and potato or even a raw diet. After a couple of weeks they’re somewhat better, but still some issues. Try switching brands of allergy food, there are many out there, usually more expensive though. Next, have you given any thought to their treats or chew toys. The simplest best wholesome treat there is, are carrots. Most dogs love them. Next thing to look at is the chew toys, like rawhides, hooves, anything along those lines. These items are usually treated with something that will bring on allergy syptoms. Try taking those items away from your dog for a month and see if any of the syptoms get better. Once you find your dog better, save the rawhide and hooves and such for like an hour a month or special occation. However please check with your vet.
