The Benefits of Dog Boots

With winter on its way, the unavoidable bone chilling temperatures are almost here. Our pups suffer just as much as we do in cold weather, so now is a perfect time to them them for winter as well. While dog coats and jackets will keep warm their bodies, don’t forget about your pooch’s paws! We have dog boots, dog socks, and dog slippers guaranteed to keep your dog from getting frosty paws. Dog boots not only protect from the elements, they also protect your dog’s paws from the salt put down to break down ice and snow. This salt can really hurt your fur baby’s feet! It is very acidic and can burn your dog’s paws, leaving sores behind. Dogs can also get sick if they lick the salt left behind on their paws. Dog boots aren't only useful in the cold months; they can protect your pet’s feet year round. In warmer months, pavement can get very hot and burn your pampered pup’s pads. Chemicals used to treat lawns can irritate paws and can make your dog ill if ingested by licking off of feet. Some older dogs have a difficult time walking on hardwood floors. Dog boots can offer the traction they need to get around safely. A good pair of dog boots is an investment in your pet’s health and well being. Dogs can get cold inside as well outside. Dog socks and slippers are a comfortable alternative to dog boots for indoor use. Disposable rubber dog boots offer a more natural feel than traditional dog boots, and are great for both indoor and outdoor use. These will allow your dog to feel the ground under their feet, which provides them a sense of safety and security. These fit similar to a sock and all full paw movement for the utmost comfort.

Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Your Pet

Thanksgiving brings to mind thoughts of family and feasts. While your pooch might delight in the attention from guests and the delicious food aromas, there are many budding hazards lurking for your pup. It can be hard to deny your furry friend a feast of his own, but many of our favorite holiday dishes can be very dangerous to our dogs.

• The turkey is the center of the Thanksgiving dinner. Boneless, skinless turkey is perfectly healthy for your furry friend in sensible portions, but make sure to remove the skin! Brittle turkey bones can break and splinter, puncturing your dog’s stomach. These should never be given to dogs. Do not feed your dog raw or undercooked turkey because it contains salmonella bacteria and could give your dog food poisoning.

• Sage, a common ingredient in traditional Thanksgiving dishes, has essential oils that could upset your dog’s stomach or cause central nervous system depression if consumed in large amounts.

 • Onions are poisonous to dogs and can cause a dangerous type of anemia that might not be detected for days.

 • If bread dough is eaten by your dog, their body heat could cause the dough to rise inside their stomach. This could cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloating.

 • A portion of turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie should be fine for a well behaved pooch, but overindulgence could pose serious problems, such as upset stomach, diarrhea, or even worse – pancreatitis. For these reasons, it’s a good idea to limit the goodies to a minimum.

 • Some dogs can’t pass up a taste of beer or alcohol. Make sure you don’t leave drinks unattended. Alcohol can cause your pet to feel disoriented and nauseous and in large quantities, could cause coma or even death.

 • If you’re baking cakes and cookies, keep your pooch’s nose out of the batter. The raw eggs contain salmonella and could give your dog food poisoning

• Food wrappers, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap can cause intestinal blockages if ingested. Take care to keep tempting garbage out of your pet’s reach!

It’s best to keep your dog on their regular diet at all times, but if you can’t help but including your pampered pooch in the festivities, make sure to limit treats to a minimum. Stuffing a Kong toy with turkey, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy will keep them occupied for hours. If you think your pet has eaten something harmful, call the Animal Poison Control Center Hotline at (888) 426-4435. There is a charge for the call, but it could very well save your pet’s life! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

What Music Do Dogs Really Prefer?

Have you ever pondered what type of music your pooch enjoys? In a recent four month survey, Lori Kogan, a Colorado State University professor, decided to find the answer to this interesting inquiry. During this study which was printed in a recent issue of the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, she played music selections for 117 dogs residing in an animal shelter including classical, heavy metal, and a psychoacoustic selection sold to calm and relax dogs Each music selection was played for 45 minutes and behavioral observations were marked every 5 minutes. Each music selection was then succeeded by a 15 minute period of silence and this acted as the control group of the experiment.

 Out of the selections presented, classical music won by far. Classical music seemed to soothe dogs more than the other options played, even more so than no music at all. The dogs responded to the classical music by sleeping more, which tells us that this type of music has a calming effect on dogs and boosts restful behavior. By contrast, heavy metal seemed to amplify dog’s anxiety and promoted sleeplessness, increased barking, and increased shaking. Surprisingly, the psychoactive music marketed specifically to calm dogs had only a very small calming effect.

 While this may seem like an unnecessary study to some, the results could be very beneficial to dogs living in animal shelters. Relaxed, quiet dogs are far more likely to be adopted than nervous, shaking dogs. Playing classical music is a very cost efficient, feasible method to changing a dog’s environment and to decreasing stressful factors. Kogan plans to do follow up studies exploring the potential for music as a means to soothe animals in veterinary clinics and for surgery recovery.
