It's World Art Day, and to celebrate I want to point you to a recent dog (and cat) centric comic mini series, Man's Best, written by Pornsak Pichetshote, art by Jesse Lonergan & Letters by Jeff Powell. The trade paperback of the complete series is already out, so no waiting for the monthly singles needed (one lucky current client can even ask to borrow the issues).

Pets Athos, Porthos & Lovey have been separated from their human guardian - in space - and need to find their way to safety. Magical art and turbulent relationships between the trio as they adjust to their new roles make for a story that's tough to put down.

Can you believe this is the final edition of Ask a Vet for Muzzle Madness? Last but certainly not least, with expertise in behavior & cooperative care, Dr. Muñoz is one of those vets clients will drive an extra hour just to see. And how handsome did her dog Argos look modeling his The Muzzle Movement Rex?! If you missed it yesterday, check out new puppy Neblina's reel practicing her muzzle training.

Before we wrap up our month of muzzle fun, I want to help bridge the gap between the "Yay muzzle" step and the duration/strap steps. Here's a brief overview of the process. As with each other step, how much to break down each component, as well as the time spent on each will vary from dog to dog. If you're unsure what's right for your dog, check with experienced members of their fear free care team, such as your trainer or vet.

Mighty Mutt Lily, her brother Duke, and their guardians have worked hard to help both dogs enjoy living together. Once they made enough progress in their training, the muzzle allowed them to train closer together, and eventually be able to chill out together for TV time. Let's hear from Lily's mom about their experience!

Mighty Mutt Leale shows off her skills coming to the muzzle to put it on. Sometimes, she sems to get worried or confused if the muzzle is still, so her mom backs up and lets Leale decide when she's ready to put it on.
This is also a favorite game of Good Sit trainer Steph!

Today we're featuring another Mighty Mutt, Leale! She's been re-training with her fancy new upgrade because the extra room to pant will allow her to wear it a bit longer. Let's hear what Leale's mom has to say about their experience.

Many Mighty Mutts I work with also have a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist on their care team. I love teaming up with VBs such as Dr. Sung, because they have a unique area of expertise, given their understanding of both behavior and medicine. I'm very excited to be able to share some of her thoughts with all of you today!

Harley told us what the best muzzle game is. How do we know this was reinforcing? Because she made the game keep going by putting the ball in herself!

Feeding treats through the muzzle can be a bit of an art. In general, treats that are long and thin work best, as well as squeezable treats with narrow dispensers.
