Can you see it?!

It's subtle, but Sage was telling me a lot in how she held and moved her body.

Getting old doesn't mean that pain should go untreated just because it's "normal." Sage is turning 13yo in November, and she deserves to live as pain-free as possible (as do we all!).

The top video shows Sage out on a walk with two pain medications on board - the bottom video shows her after switching to a new pain medication. If a dog isn't responsive to one medication, trying another could produce the results they need to live comfortably. (I can think of about a dozen examples of exactly this in myself, how about you?!)

Also notice... failure to respond to the initial medications ‼️did not mean she wasn't in pain‼️ It just meant that it was not the right drug for her body and condition.

Pain can also lead to problems that are dismissed as "behaviour problems" and dealt with as such, when the solution really lies in diagnostics and treatments for the pain and what under-lies it. 📣Training will never resolve a medical issue. 📣

How about a new pencil box for your dog?

What, she's not going back to school in September?!

Coming up September 11th, we've got:
6pm Loose Leash Walking Program

8:15pm Agility Level One

Hop on over to the website to book your spot!

Does a walk even count if you don't have dead spiders and foliage stuck to you by the end of it?!

A big congratulations to on their 30th anniversary (and accompanying party!) - what an accomplishment!

Thank you for good company this afternoon... and Sage says thanks for the pats and, of course, the cookies in the gift bags! 😋

Do you do regular health checks on your dog?

I was just looking around in Briar's mouth, as part of a casual and routine health check.

Can you tell what's missing from these pictures...??! (And yes, that is a little underbite!)

I looked back in my camera roll to see if I could pin point when this happened, which gave me a good idea that it happened in the last week or so! (See, those ten thousand photos of your dog WILL come in handy one day!)

Luckily she has a routine vet visit coming up shortly!

If you haven't gotten your dogs out for a quick walk EARLY... Here's your permission to stay home in the AC!

Very large and very hairy dogs are at risk, as are very young, old, and brachycephalic (short nosed) dogs. Heat stroke can hit quickly and it can be deadly!

Keep your dogs (and yourself!) safe over the next couple days, and put together some frozen food stuffed toys for your dog to work on!
