Large &
Giant Breed Puppy
This formula is designed for those puppies
that will reach 50 pounds or more as an
adult. Its triple meat protein source builds
good solid muscle, providing optimum calcium
and phosphorus. In addition, there are
slightly fewer calories so that puppies
dont gain too much weight before their
bodies are ready to support it.

THIS is why you do not walk your dogs on asphalt or concrete
in the summer. If you see someone walking their dogs on
asphalt or concrete, PLEASE educated them and get the pet to
cooler ground. Original post was from Pet Ambulance Victoria
This should be sent to all the veterinarians including the specialists!

DOG PARK ALERT
We have received two notices.
(1) Nails wrapped in cheese at dog parks in Chicago and
Massachusetts (see pic). (2) from some friends that in
Augusta Maine dog park, antifreeze is being found in doggie
water bowls. Please beware and be careful and PLEASE SHARE
and spread the word

Ever wonder where puppy mill dogs come from? Here's an
example. Many get cooked alive in the sun and freeze to
death in the winter. If you purchase your dog from a pet
store, I can guarantee your "AKC" certified dog came from a
place like this. This one is even better than the ones
I saw in Iowa and Missouri!

Do you recognize she is a Yorkie?
Please do not purchase your pet from a Pet shop, Backyard
breeder or Commercial Puppy Mill.

BLOAT

Click chart to view larger version |
This is a real
combination of symptoms that spells out EMERGENCY. These are the classic
symptoms of a condition referred to as "bloat" - a dog that is pacing,
restless and has unproductive attempts to vomit.
This is a common problem in large breed
deep-chested dogs but can also occur in smaller dogs.
Basically what happens is this - the
stomach twists causing the blood supply to the stomach to be compromised
then leads to tissue death. As tissues are damaged, toxins are released
and a sequence of events occurs that if left untreated, leads to death.
If you ever notice these symptoms in
your dog, call your local veterinarian or emergency clinic as soon as
possible.
This is a condition that is fairly
common and often occurs in the evening or nighttime hours. It is also a
very expensive condition to treat.

Dealing with Excessive Barking
The first step to stopping barking is to understand why it is
happening. Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons, including
anxiety, boredom and/or loneliness. Sometimes they bark just
because it feels good. Luckily, most dogs will respond to
one or other intervention to curtail their barking. Whether you
simply bring an outdoor dog inside or take the time to apply
behavior-modification techniques, you can cause a dog to be less
of a nuisance and to be more socially acceptable. |
Removing Skunk Odor
|
|
No need for the tomato juice. Use a mixture of 10 parts hydrogen
peroxide to 1 part baking soda. Add a dash of degreasing
dishwashing soap and pour into a spray bottle. Spray liberally
over dry coat and allow to air dry. Avoid eyes. Works on other
objects, too! |

How to Get Rid of Fleas.
Kill fleas on your cat, dog and in your house
|
How do I
get rid of fleas in my home?
Treating the flea problem.
Do you have a flea problem? Are
there fleas in your carpet, fleas in
your yard, fleas on your pets, fleas
in your bed?

Getting rid of fleas on
your cat or dog alone does not
tackle the overall flea problem.
During the flea cycle only about 5%
of fleas are actually living on your
dog or cat. The other 95% of fleas
(in one stage or another) are living
in your house or yard. That is why
it is so important to kill the fleas
in your house and on your cat or dog
at the same time.
For example:
If you wash your cat or dog today
with a flea rinse and you kill 30
fleas that are living on your pet,
that means that there are still
approximately 570 fleas developing
in your house.
(see
the flea cycle chart)
This is a Do It Yourself method for
killing fleas, there is no need to
call in the pest exterminator. If
you have a flea problem or
infestation then you must
DECLARE WAR and KILL ALL FLEAS IN
YOUR HOUSE AND YARD AND ON YOUR PETS
Once
you have decided to declare this war
and kill the fleas in your house,
you need to set aside a couple of
hours to enter into the battle zone.
Fleas do not have to be a part of
pet ownership. Years ago it was
assumed that all cats and dogs had
fleas but this is just not true
today. Flea control has advanced so
much that no pet should ever have to
suffer one single flea again.
Getting the initial control over
fleas is not an easy five minute job
but once you have control then
maintenance will be easy. Don't get
disheartened if it seems that you
get a fresh flea infestation a week
or two after using the following
flea control method. It is explained
to you in this article why this
often happens. It has to do with
with the flea pupae being impervious
to insecticides.
Let's get on with the job of
getting rid of fleas in your house
and on your cats or dogs.
Battle Stations
How do I
break the flea life cycle?
It is important to treat all of your
pets and your house on the same day.
It is pointless to treat your house
and not your pet, it is also
pointless to treat you pet and not
your house. This is the only way you
will get total flea control.
STEP 1
- Vacuum
Your vacuum
cleaner is your number one weapon in
the war
Your first step is to vacuum vacuum
vacuum! Vacuum your entire house
paying particular attention to
corners, dark crevices, under
furniture, under beds, pet beds,
rugs and especially around skirting
boards. Put the nozzle attachment on
your vacuum cleaner and thoroughly
vacuum around all baseboards and
edges of fixtures.
The
vibrations from vacuuming also
stimulates the fleas to emerge from
their cocoons and thus they will be
exposed to the insecticide that will
be used
This
is what you are vacuuming up even
though you can't see them:
EGGS
Fleas
that are living on your cat or dog
lay eggs. The eggs drop off your pet
and land on your carpet or floor.
LARVAE
The
eggs hatch and become larvae. These
little worm like creature have hair
like bristles that enable them to
move around. They avoid the light
and move to crevices, corners, under
furniture, in cracks between floor
boards and along skirting boards.
PUPAE

After a while the larvae pupate.
This means that they spin a cocoon
around themselves and begin a
change. In the cocoon they are
changing into adult fleas. It is
just like a caterpillar which spins
a cocoon and then emerges as a
butterfly.
The more of the pupae you vacuum up
the better the outcome. The cocoon
surrounding the developing flea is
water tight and impervious to
insecticides.
When you have finished vacuuming
dispose of the vacuum bag completely
if you have disposable bags in your
vacuum cleaner.
STEP 2 - Spray Insecticide

Flea Treatment For your
House & Yard

for illustration purposes

When
choosing an insecticide read
the label. Look for the
ingredient IGR
(Insect Growth Regulator)
IGR is the most important
part of the whole flea
control process. |
