As we enjoy a reprieve from the rain, we'll mention that with our incredibly soggy weather, we've been seeing a lot of dogs with "hot spots' on their necks. We typically see these during the Summer as well when dogs go swimming and a cloth type collar holds moisture against the skin. One thing which can help a lot is using a collar like the one pictured below. The coating on it prevents--or at least decreases--moisture being trapped against the skin. You can also find places to order them with a brass ID plate attached. Hunting dog supply places online are one option

Make it easier to see your dog at night and other low light situations with the Cabela's® Reflective Dog Collar. Made of a durable nylon webbing with a special coating to resist mildew, bacteria,...

We all know that puppies love to chew. Making sure that they chew on appropriate items and that they're safe while doing so can be a challenge. Miles has been known to try to bite off more than he can chew. So, Rachel wisely puts his bully sticks and other safe natural chews in a chewy holder and supervises him while he has chewy time

It's porcupine season! 🏞️ This is the time of year we start seeing an increase in dogs getting quilled by porcupines. No, porcupines don't shoot their quills at dogs. Instead, porcupines back into & swipe their tails at curious dogs who get too close, resulting in a muzzle full of quills!

If this does happen to your pup, please do NOT attempt to remove the quills yourself! You can push the quills deeper, break them and cause migration, miss a few, or get bitten by your dog. Quills are painful and require removal by a veterinarian. Prevention: leash up in & around wooded areas from dusk to dawn when porcupines are most active!

I think loads of folks know about the awesome work being done by Grammy Rose in Acton. One of my friends is currently fostering a litter of nine week old puppies for The Grateful Dog and asked me to help spread the word that they are in our area. Along with her kids, my friend is hard at work getting these puppies socialized and loved in a home environment
