is urging animal owners to be vigilant for signs of New World screwworm following recent detections in Texas.

New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae feed on living tissue, causing painful wounds and serious infections. The pest can affect livestock, horses, wildlife, dogs, and cats.

There are currently no confirmed cases in Louisiana, but early detection is critical.

Watch for:
• Wounds that fail to heal
• Bloody or foul-smelling discharge
• Visible maggots in wounds or body openings
• Excessive licking, chewing, or irritation around a wound
• Signs of discomfort, depression, or reduced appetite

If you suspect New World screwworm, contact your veterinarian immediately.

The day it finally “clicks”. Dogs are just like people in the fact that no two are the same. Bruno has made me work for every single win and has been on the long line for almost 4 weeks. Today he’s followed every command given and I couldn’t be more proud of this little guy for his progress.

It’s getting hot in Louisiana🥵

‼️Overheating dogs: what should you look for? The tongue often shows the earliest warning signs.

Most importantly: Know your own dog, it's fitness level, normal recovery times and heat tolerance levels - some breeds cope much better than others🐕

Every dog is different, so watch for changes from their normal behaviour. For example, if your dog often lets its tongue hang out to one side, watch for changes in shape and colour.

Stay cool everyone 🥰

Nala trained with us at Red Dog in February of 2025. This is her first day back and I couldn’t be happier with how her training has been maintained. She will be with us for the next two months while her family is busy with their travels. As always when dogs do extended boarding with us they get some training in as well and we have big plans for sweet Nala girl.

Story time! 🐾
Tillie’s parents first contacted me last year. They had their heart set on obtaining a well bred Boykin.
We first looked into what genetic and OFA testing the Boykin Spaniel Club of America recommended. After checking that the breeder met all of the health testing criteria we discussed what to look for during Volhard testing for their perfect puppy.
Fast forward 5 months and now Tillie is with us at Red Dog receiving a little puppy education. She has been so much fun to work with over the past 3 weeks and I can’t wait to watch her parents continue her training when she returns home.

We love a new addition. Tillie is the newest member of the Red Dog crew. She has a busy and bright future ahead of her.
