Just a thought (and some common sense)....

Now that the warmer weather is here, please keep in mind there are many owners with EV (electric vehicles) on the road now.

If you encounter a scenario where you notice a pet inside the vehicle on a hot day -- Please DO NOT break glass/window, check by touching the glass (windows/windshield) to determine if the interior temperature is cool/cold compared to outside temps.

EV don't emit any "engine" noises so it can appear as the vehicle is off, while the actual A/C may actually be turned on!

Last thing you want to do is break the glass, startle the dog and it jumps out and runs away due to being frightened by the breakage!

If the vehicle isn't an EV and its hot inside, and the pet appears to be in duress -- immediately look for help or contact local authorities to assist further

Truth About Pet Food

Lead can pass through the pores of the skin so not only are pets being exposed to lead—if you handle the food, so are you. RESEARCH THE BRANDS YOU FEED.

There are a number of ways we can help nature out, and one is very very simple.... please cut your plastic rings from milk cartons as well as six pack holders. Animals cannot break through the man made plastic and often die slow, miserable deaths.

Just a friendly reminder, no need to re-vaccinate so soon!

Titer testing is very effective, and will show you just how well protected your fur-baby is (even after many years surpassed after initial vaccination).

SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST?

Definitely longer than a year!

According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Schultz, Ph.D. – “ Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions.”

What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)?

Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds:

“Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001).

Severe and fatal adverse reactions include:

•Susceptibility to infections.

•Neurological disorders and encephalitis.

•Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression.

•Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001)”

SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST?

According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): “Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter”

Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz:

Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines:

Distemper- 7 years by challenge
Parvovirus – 7 years by challenge
Adenovirus – 7 years by challenge
Canine rabies – 3 years by challenge

The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems!

What’s a titer test?

A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.

It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination.

Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE!

According to Dr. Dodds:

“Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance.”

Toronto West End Residents!

ATTENTION WEST END RESIDENTS!! There have been sightings of rat poison in the Stanley Park area over the past 24 hours! Two dogs have apparently been confirmed to have ingested, and shown signs of toxicity, secondary to rat poison ingestion! Please keep your dogs on leash, and watch for anything strange in the area.

Rat poison can come in different forms, and the photo attached is just an example. If you think your pet has ingested a toxin, please bring them to the closest vet clinic ASAP. If you have rat poison, or other toxic items in your home, be sure to place them in areas where pets cannot access them. If you think your pet has ingested a toxin in your home, call poison control and provide them with all known information about the substance immediately.

Champion Petfoods Comments on Nestlé Acquisition Speculation

It is very strange that Champion Petfoods, (makers of Orijen/Acana pet foods), still have not confirmed or denied acquisition by Nestle Purina. I believe this is due to the consumer backlash that would occur should the majority of shares change to Purina. They must be keeping it under wraps.

The fact that this was news in July of 2018, with no clear answer leads me to believe something did happen. Orijen/Acana are no longer a safe kibble brand.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Nestlé SA is seeking to purchase Champion Petfoods for more than billion.

Dozens of U.S. dogs dead after being groomed at PetSmart, but link unclear

Please do not groom your dog at PetSmart

Over the past decade 47 dogs have died across the U.S. during grooming, or within days of showing signs of ill health after grooming, at the nation's leading pet retailer, a New Jersey news organization reports, though what the numbers mean is uncertain.

Lawsuit filed against Champion Pet Food - Acana and Orijen

If allegations are true, there are officially no safe kibble manufacturers at all. This is truly unfortunate.

Consumers in Minnesota, California and Florida are suing Champion Pet Food for "False Advertising", violations of "feed law", and numerous other charges. The lawsuit includes results of heavy metal testing and includes results that this dry dog food contains BPA - a chemical typically not associated
