♥PETS A GO-GO!
Tips for traveling with Fido and Fluffy
*Be sure your pet is wearing a flat collar with identification tags at all times.
*If your pet doesn’t have a microchip, consider having one implanted.
*Stop for “potty breaks” every two hours.
*Always leash your pet before opening the car door.
*Do not allow pets to ride in the front seat. They are at risk of being thrown into the windshield, can interfere with your ability to drive, or could be injured by an airbag.

♥Icky Things Pets Eat:
This range of this topic is almost endless, as pets have (and will) eat almost anything. Sometimes it is the food we unknowingly give them - either recalled pet food, human foods that are toxic to pets, or medications intended for humans. Other times, they find rat bait, stray strings and socks or other household items that leave us scratching our heads and asking why. Read more at About.com

♥Is "blood work" important for my pet?One of the most common questions I receive from friends about their pet’s veterinary care is one about the necessity of blood work for their pets. Often a veterinarian will request or even require that blood work be performed prior to a surgical procedure or before a prescription can be refilled. Does this sound familiar? Not only veterinarians ask for this information, but your own medical doctor requests the same. Why is it important?

One unneutered male cat and one unspayed
female cat can produce 370,000 kittens per
year. One unneutered male dog and one
unspayed female dog can produce 67,000
puppies per year.
In part, because people do not spay and
neuter their pets, 540 puppies, kittens,
dogs and cats are euthanized EVERY DAY in
the U.S. There simply aren't enough homes
for them all.
"Fixing" your pets is a loving and
compassionate choice that doesn't have to be
costly. Several local shelters and vets
offer low cost or discounted spay and neuter
programmes.

Raw pet food is a controversial topic among pet parents, veterinarians, industry, health
professionals, and government officials. So why feed our domesticated pets a raw diet? Are raw
diets really better than cooked food (canned and kibble)?
Pet Food: Then and Now
The history of commercially prepared pet food is a relatively short one; cooked pet food has
only been available since the mid- 20th century. Prior to that, dogs and cats were fed table scraps or
left to fend for themselves. Cats, and to a lesser extent dogs, would hunt and consume raw prey
whole. Dogs are slightly different and are typically viewed as scavengers living in close association
with humans and eating garbage or any small prey they could catch. While these types of pre-
commercial diets would not be considered complete and balanced according to current AAFCO
guidelines, they were more consistent with the natural diet of our pets’ evolutionary ancestors.
Today, pet parents have access to several brands of commercially prepared raw frozen diets, such as
Nature’s Variety, that provide complete and balanced nutrition in a biologically and physiological
appropriate format.

Lola
UPDATE: Lola went to OSU
Neurology on February 22, 2010 for a
complete exam regarding her spinal
injury. As many of you know Lola was
injured at about 6 weeks with a
severe spinal fracture. After a long
day at OSU, many tests and x-rays,
it was determined that there is
nothing that can be done to make her
walk again. Now we move to Plan B
which is to care for her the best we
can, give lots of support and
monitor her constantly for anything
that would possibly jepordize her
health. The report was a severe
spinal fracture of two vertibrae,
severed spinal cord and a blown disc
which will make it impossible for
surgery. She is a very happy and
otherwise healthy, normal puppy. She
is 12 weeks now and she is expected
to live a full life without the use
of her back legs. She will be in a
wheelchair for the rest of her life
and we anticipate that she will need
at least 8 carts before she is fully
grown. The carts average in cost
from $400.00 to 700.00 each. If you
would like to help with Lola's care,

this precious girl. Thank you so
much for your support. LOLA is on PetPals!
