Alright guys! There is a little puppy name Beau, he is not even six months old…and he has a grade 6 heart murmur. And by six, I mean grade 6 out of 6. Keep in mind, Beau is just a Pomeranian, a Pomeranian with a serious heart condition. It is hard enough to imagine any pet going through something like this, especially so small and so very young. His owners have taken him to the best- he’s been seen at UCDavis, and now unless he gets surgery in the next few months, he won’t make it. He needs the equivalent of an angioplasty, and those costs puppies about $3,000. So, why don’t we walk for a little puppies health? I’m ready, are you?

***If you donate at the Dog Walk for Health this upcoming October 26th, all of the proceeds will be directly given to Beau’s family for the surgery.

Pool exercise for older pets

doggersize — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:50:36 +0000

When you have an older pet, you have to think about hip displasia, tired bones, and lack of exercise because they tend to grow tired much easier as they grow older. To help your pet move those tired muscles, you can do slow exercise in the pool. I always recommend teaching your pets how to swim, especially if you have a pool. That way, you will know if your pet falls into the pool while you aren’t home, that they know how to at least get to the side and get out safely. For your older pets, just holding their stomachs while they slowly paddle can really be exercise. It can help them get the workout they need while not forcing them to run fast or do things that younger dogs can do. If you feel like you can’t do this yourself or need help, contact me!

Thank you to everyone who went to the “Dog Walk For Health,” we had a great turnout!! All in all, we had about 40-45 people !And quite a lot of great energetic dogs! The healthy treats (as voted for earlier on doggersize,) peanut butter banana madness, were a hug hit! I’m baking orders for treats right now at a low price, so email me!! Everyone enjoyed the walk so much that they want to do it more than once a year, so more plans for dog walks to follow. Don’t worry, we’re thinkin September! Keep posted for more great dog summer tips!!

Thanks!!

Easy Exercise for you, fun for your pet!

Alright you active people!! Get your bikes, get your dogs, get set………….GO!!! Now, I am one for ensuring that your pet has enough exercise each day to get tired…the kind of tired that makes them sleep and not bug you throughout the night!! One way to do this is to go biking with your dog. Of course, this goes for the well trained dogs, and I really recommend using a harness in replacement of a leash for this exercise to lessen the chances of your dog getting choked or hurt during the bike ride. As long as you are comfortable on a bike, your dog is comfortable with a harness and a lead, you both are in for a fun healthy afternoon!….or morning, with this heat! Of course, don’t try this if your dog has not been properly leash trained, and of course, make sure that you are bike trained!! I find, with any workout, variety is the spice!!

any other suggestions you have, tried and true?Let me know!! Comment me!
