Little history trivia: the Chenoa Veterinary Clinic was built on this location in 1981 by Dr. Delmar Schleder. The original practice was a small square building near the locker plant closer to downtown where the road made a Y by the railroad tracks. Dr. Albright joined the staff in 1985 and eventually bought the practice. Still in business today and added a haul-in equine/large animal building in 1997.

Interesting!

A study conducted in 2018 by Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, found that women who sleep alongside their dogs tend to experience better sleep quality than those who share a bed with a human partner. Surveying 962 adult women across the United States, the research highlighted that dogs were less likely to interrupt sleep and often provided a greater sense of safety and comfort.

Dogs generally maintain consistent sleep patterns and are less likely to snore or move around unpredictably during the night. Many women also reported feeling more secure with a dog in bed, which may reduce anxiety and contribute to more restful sleep. In comparison, human partners were more frequently cited as sources of disturbance due to movement, noise and inconsistent sleep habits.

The study suggests that for women who value uninterrupted sleep and nighttime reassurance, sharing the bed with a dog may be more beneficial than sleeping next to a human companion.🤎🖤🩶

Read labels and ask questions! I just recently discovered "natural flavors" were added to some alfalfa hay cubes I purchased.............nope. Changed brands!

⚠1 & 2 - Ammonium Propionate (buffered propionic acid) & Propionic Acid (more corrosive) are organic acids and the most common main ingredients in hay preservatives. Propionic acid was 1st registered as a pesticide in the early 1970’s. In a chronic feeding study using propionic acid, the high dose rats had hyperplasia, ulcers and other effects in the forestomach. Both can cause skin irritation, serious eye irritation, and respiratory irritation. Classified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) but is not authorized as a food additive in Europe.

⚠3 - Propylene Glycol is used in antifreeze and is classified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) for use as a direct food additive. It is prohibited for use in food for cats due to links to Heinz body anemia. Possible adverse reactions are: skin and digestive tract irritation, allergic reactions, potentially toxic to the kidneys and liver, neurological symptoms, cardiovascular problems, respiratory issues, potentially bio accumulative.

⚠4 - Ammonium Hydroxide is a colorless liquid chemical solution. It forms when ammonia dissolves in water and is found in many industrial products and cleaners. Some of these are flooring st*****rs, brick cleaners, and cements. Ammonium hydroxide is poisonous. FDA regulations classify ammonium hydroxide as safe (“generally recognized as safe” or GRAS) at certain levels. Potential adverse reactions are skin irritation, serious eye irritation and respiratory irritation.

⚠5 - Food Dyes: Green No. 3, Yellow No. 5 and Blue No. 1 are commonly added to hay preservatives to present a fresh green appearance and improve marketability. These are carcinogenic.
