Greetings!
Winter is finally here with a storm predicted for later today. Not sure if we are ready for the white stuff that we have not seen much of this year. Spring Break is just around the corner so it is best to make your reservations now versus waiting. The busiest week is the first week of April. Due to the warm weather, we have heard from groomers that they have seen FLEAS! Therefore, we are requesting that your pet be treated with flea preventative prior to their lodging with us. Thanks, Ann

 Coping with the
Elderly Pet
You may notice your dog getting up more slowly after a nap. Your kitty may not jump up on high surfaces as often as she used to. Your pet may startle when you come up behind him.
As they grow older, pets encounter problems getting around, decreases in eyesight and hearing and other age-related changes.
No matter your pet's age, you should discuss any behavioral or physical changes you notice with your veterinarian first, to rule out an underlying condition.
If it turns out the problems are a natural result of getting older, don't despair. There are many, many things you can do as a pet owner to help your senior dog or cat adjust to the changes brought on by aging and continue to enjoy an excellent quality of life.
The topic of elderly pets is getting a lot of attention these days because companion animals are living longer, and pet parents are interested in keeping their aging four-legged family members happy and healthy in their golden years.
Create a Lifetime of Good Health for Your Pet
One of the best ways to keep your pet in good shape throughout his life is to focus on three aspect of good health: appropriate nutrition; a sound, resilient body; and a balanced, functional immune system.
- Feeding your pet the diet nature intended him to eat builds a foundation for vibrant health. Many pets develop allergies to certain foods mainly corn and grains. Read the ingredients of your pet food. If one of the first five ingredients is corn or some other type of grain you may want to gradually switch to a different food.
- Keeping your companion well-exercised prevents obesity and the health issues it creates in middle-aged and senior pets. Physical activity throughout your dog's or cat's life will also keep her mind stimulated and help prevent or delay cognitive decline.
- A balanced immune system responds appropriately to protect your pet from opportunistic pathogens, but doesn't overreact, creating allergic conditions or an autoimmune disorder. The best way to keep your dog's or cat's immune system strong is to avoid over-vaccinating your pet.
I also recommend that you visit with an Animal Chiropractor or someone involved with Healing Touch for Animals� or energy work. Both treatments can assist your pet in movement and overall health and quality of life.

Helpful Hint
We've all heard the terrifying stories of Coyotes in the suburbs. They hsve become very brazen. Here are a few tips to help you live with them and keep them away from me and my fellow pets: - Run at them, making noise and waving your arms until they are out of sight.
- Never confront a coyote that cannot get away or appears ill.
- Pick up fallen apples. Never feed pets outside or leave food where it is accessible.
- Keep cats inside and never leave dogs outside alone.
- Screen in spaces under decks and eliminate hiding places.
For more information, check out this article that appeared in the Minneapolis Star Tribune on February 13th that addressed the concept of Hazing Coyotes. |
