How to keep your pet healthy during the Holidays!
Everyone knows its hard enough to keep your pet from begging at the dinner table. It gets pretty much impossible to control when you have a dozen of your family and friends at your house for Thanksgiving dinner, giving your cute little dog just one little treat. Firstly, tell your guests that table scraps are off limits. Thats really all that you can do when you have guests. At home make sure to enforce the “no table scraps” policy, and have healthy treats on hand for your pet so that you aren’t tempted to give your pet people food. Also, keeping your pet outside or in the garage during family meals would really eliminate the temptation for both parties. Just by following these easy tips you will be keeping your pet healthy enough to be around for next year’s holidays!

Adoption is always the best option!
The pound is overcrowded, and people are still going to a breeder to get their pet (s)?? In times like these, with foreclosure pets being such an issue, its important to keep our eyes on what is important. Every time you adopt a pet, you are literally saving its life. Can you think of a better gift? The promise of a warm home, some long overdue attention, and healthy food…these things aren’t outrageous demands or needs. Lets see what we can do as a community to ensure that these pets are being adopted, and not put down simply because they couldn’t find an owner fast enough. The only way to guarantee that this happens is to take part in the cause, volunteer, tell your friends and family that are looking for pets to adopt, etc. Word of mouth is something that should never be underestimated. Now get out there, and get involved, and save a pets life!
Brush those teeth!
Come on guys! You brush yours, right? Well, start early when your pet is young, and you can save yourself some serious vet bills! Not to mention that anesthesia can have harmful side affects, just like it does for people! There are doggie tooth brushes and doggie toothpaste (make sure you ONLY use the kind that is intended for animals!PLEASE!) in any pet store or vet hospital! If you need help trying to get your pet to even let them near your mouth, message me! I can help!
Lets Adopt!
Hey ya’ll! Its time! Its time to really start thinking about taking the plunge and adopting a pet! With our community going through such a huge economic decline, we all know that houses are being foreclosed on and that pets are being left behind. This post goes out there to those people who aren’t necessarily looking for a puppy, and have a big back yard and are open to older pets! Please, please, adopt before going to a breeder! There are so many avenues you can go through to adopt a local pet, such as the pound, the spca, and local rescue groups! If you are interested, please contact me and I will give you any details that you need! Foreclosed pets are pets too!!!!
