Our friends in Reno shared some important information!

Let’s Talk Tularemia: Protecting Pets and People

Tularemia, also known as "rabbit fever," is a serious bacterial disease that can affect both pets and people. It’s most commonly spread through contact with infected wildlife (especially rabbits and rodents), ticks, or contaminated water and soil.

Why it matters: Dogs can contract tularemia by hunting or handling infected animals—or even by drinking from contaminated puddles or creeks. Symptoms in dogs can include fever, lethargy, swollen lymph nodes, and loss of appetite. It can be life-threatening without treatment.

For people, the disease can be transmitted through tick or deer fly bites, handling infected animals, or inhaling dust from contaminated areas. It’s a zoonotic disease, meaning it can pass between animals and humans.

What you can do:

Keep your dog leashed or supervised in areas with high rabbit or rodent activity.

Avoid allowing your dog to sniff or pick up dead wildlife.

Use vet-recommended tick prevention.

Wash hands thoroughly after outdoor activities and handling animals.

See your vet (or doctor) immediately if you notice any symptoms.

Stay informed, stay safe, and let’s keep our adventure dogs thriving.

Please join us in giving a big round of a-paws to our most recent puppy class graduates! Over the past 6 weeks, these pups (and their amazing humans!) have grown, learned, and bonded in the most beautiful ways.

Luna – Recently adopted and already blossoming! Luna came out of her shell and, with her mom’s dedication, built a strong and trusting bond that’s just the beginning of a beautiful journey.

Posey – Doubled in size and tripled in enthusiasm! Posey was always ready to train and proudly graduated with honors!

Emi – From barking through the first class to becoming an obedience rockstar, Emi and her family showed us all what perseverance and progress really look like!

Molly – A superstar from day one! Molly tackled every challenge with a wag and a smile, loving every learning opportunity along the way.

Alex – Rescued from Jamaica and now thriving in her new life! Alex went from nervous to joyful, eager to work with her handler and embrace her fresh start.

We’re so proud of each pup and their people. Watching these teams grow together has been such a joy. Onward to many more adventures and tail wags!

We are excited to be able to offer this Fenzi TEAM class!
With the Fenzi TEAM titling program, you can earn titles by video while working on your dog's foundation skills. It's a great way to find those little holes in your training - and fix them before you ever enter a ring. The skills covered are especially applicable to Rally, Obedience, and Freestyle, but there is something for you if you and your dog do Nose Work, Parkour, Agility, or even just tricks! All sport dogs need to learn how to work in the face of distractions or when you don't have any food on you - two skills covered in this program, and useful for all dogs in real-world situations
The next class starts Wednesday 1/8/2025 @ 5:00 PM
To register for the class: https://dodgerspaws.dogbizpro.com/public/registration/index.aspx?schedule=2686

Join us in celebrating Caro, the new owner of Murphy's Paw in Pleasanton! Caro has been there for about 9 years and is the perfect person to head the next phase of Murphy's Paw!

Hi everyone! My name is Caro and I have worked at Murphy’s Paw for almost 9 years. What started as a job has evolved into my passion, and it has shaped me into the person I am today. Today, I am overjoyed to begin 2025 by announcing that I have taken over as owner of Murphy’s Paw! I am very excited to begin this chapter, and beyond grateful for each step of the journey that led me here.

Dean, the previous owner and the best boss I could’ve asked for, has done nothing but encourage my growth, support my ideas, and believe in me. Thank you Dean. Thank you for giving me the opportunites over the last 9 years that led me to this point.

Murphy’s Paw has always been more than just a business— it’s been a place where connections are made and where the community comes together. None of this would be possible without our customers! I am so thankful for each and every one of you. So many of you have become more than just customers, but rather a cherished part of my everyday life.

Murphy’s Paw will continue being the store you know and love! I have been running it for a good while now, so rest assured nothing crazy will change. I’m excited to keep building on it though, and to get more involved in our community.

Join us on Saturday, January 25th at 4pm to celebrate 🥳 We will have snacks, refreshments, and specials all day!
