March is National Poison Prevention Month
Xylitol
What is Xylitol?
In our quest to satisfy our sweet tooth with a safe sugar substitute, many manufacturers are using Xylitol in their products. It is a naturally produced sugar alcohol.. Our human body manufactures up to 15 grams daily during normal metabolism. Xylitol is made from corncobs or trees and it has been found in trace amounts in many of the fruits and vegetables we eat. It's delicious; contains a third of the calories as table sugar; has no after taste, and it helps in reducing plaque on the teeth.
What is the danger of Xylitol?
It seems like a great product - except if you are a dog or cat. As this wonder product is used more and more in everyday human products and foods, we run the risk of poisoning our pets without knowing. Xylitol interferes with the way insulin is release in the dog or cat's body. Ingesting as little as 0.1g xylitol per kg of weight may cause hypoglycemia within 30 to 60 minutes. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and can cause liver toxicity, liver damage, and ultimately liver failure. Considering the many different products that contain this artificial sweetener, the risk of ingestion in multiple small amounts poses an extreme danger.
What products contain Xylitol?
- Packaged Goods and Baking Mixes - It can be found in sugar free Jell-O, puddings, cake mixes, cookie and muffin mixes, ice cream and yogurt.
- Candy and Gums - Sugar free gums, mints, gummy bears, chocolate and other sugar free treats may contain Xylitol.
- Staple Foods - Sugar free jams, syrups, condiments, honey and most importantly sugar free peanut butters and nut butters.
- Dental Products, Vitamins, Medicines and Beauty Products - Never use human dental products on your pet's teeth or give them over the counter medicine containing Xylitol.
Call your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet has ingested Xylitol.

Asian Fusion Grooming Style
by Brooke Bezio, Groomer
There's a new grooming style that's taking the world by storm. It's called Asian Fusion. This grooming style originated in Asia, but it is being modified by groomers all over the world. Asian Fusion grooming is a creative grooming style that forgets all the breed specific rules, and goes for that perfect teddy bear cut. This creative version of dog grooming allows you to try crazy things like bell bottom legs, big poufy heads and excessively round muzzles.
Although this style is very cool looking, it does take a lot of maintenance. It is ideal for a client that is on a regular grooming schedule. Keep in mind that some hair types and breeds may not be ideal for this style. It works best with curly haired dogs, but there have also been some really fun styles on Yorkies, Maltese and even Schnauzers.
This groom style is new here at Golrusk. We think it rocks! If you get a chance take a moment to look up some Asian Fusion grooming online and see the amazing styles other dogs and groomers have created. If you are interested in trying something different and creative, let us know during check in and we can see if your pooch is a candidate! We think you will love it!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!
(At least it felt like it when I wrote this)
By Tina Norton, Director of Training
With the great weather we have been having as of late, a lot of people are getting out and about with their dogs. This is great to see but please realize your dogs will need to be reconditioned just as you do, to be able to go running with you or even just playing outside for extended periods. Paddington likes the treadmill to stay in shape.
You may have stayed in condition over the winter by using a treadmill to run on. Did you have your dog on it also to stay in shape as your running partner??? If not don't expect them to be able to run as far as they did at the end of the season last year. You will have to gradually bring them back up to that pace.
Start slow and build up their endurance again, just as you would for yourself. Better safe than sorry!!
Classes
With spring and summer just around the corner, now is a great time to get your pups back into class and refresh their manners! Classes can help to teach you how to get your dog where you would like them to be. In class we work on Basic commands like Sit, Down, Stay, Go to Mat, Meet and Greets and of course Loose Leash Walking.
If you can't do group classes at night we do also offer private lesson at Golrusk East during the day. Just call and schedule a consultation today to get started!!!
Did you know???????
The average dog can understand, well, upwards of about a 165 different words and that's pretty good. And that's an average dog.

SIX REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BOARD AT GOLRUSK
Whether you are going on spring break or an Easter vacation to visit family, here are seven reasons why you should board your pet at Golrusk Pet Care Center.
- Safety - Your dogs and cats can be great escape artists. They can bolt through a door opened by an unsuspecting person in a flash. The design of the Golrusk facility makes it very unlikely that your pet would escape into the streets. Your pet is supervised and unable to get into things that may be harmful to them.
- Medicine - Our trained staff will follow your instructions to be sure your pet has the right medicine dosage at the proper time.
- Professional Attention - In the event of an emergency, our trained staff will contact you or your emergency contact and get your pet the proper medical attention as quickly as possible. We monitor intake and output as well as activity levels.
- Proper Diet - At Golrusk, we allow a schedule of any combination of morning, noon, and evening feedings. Special diets are not a problem. We follow your feeding instructions. Bring your pet's food from home or we provide a choice of two kinds of premium food at no extra charge.
- Outdoor Breaks and Exercise - Your dog is given multiple outdoor breaks during daytime hours. During this time, they are given ample room and time to stretch and move as well as take care of their business. Playtime is available by purchasing our All About Me time. This one on one session with our staff member allows your pet to enjoy a fun playtime or just get some extra love time. For the safety of the pets, we do not allow pets to interact with strange pets during potty breaks or All About Me time. We offer our Fun Camp program for those dogs that have been screened at our facility for interactive play.
- Unexpected Delays - The best laid plans can go wrong. Car troubles, airport delays, whatever the reason you can't get home on time, you can be assured your pet will be safe and cared for at Golrusk Pet Care Center.
- Because we believe Pets are Family!
