Flea Prevention Tips

Here are a few flea prevention tips courtesy of Wholsome Pet.

1. Help prevent fleas indoors by vacuuming your home thoroughly and frequently, paying close attention to corners, cracks, crevices and basements. Dispose of vacuum cleaner bags conscientiously, as adult fleas can escape. Also, choose your pet's friends wisely; avoid animals you suspect may carry fleas. Dog parks are fun, but a move-able feast for fleas!
2. Wash pet bedding in hot, soapy water weekly; this is the most likely site for flea eggs and larvae.
3. Prune foliage and keep grass trimmed short to increase sunlight, as flea larvae cannot survive in hot, dry areas. Remove any piles of yard debris close to your home.

There is so much information on the Internet, but what do you believe as a pet owner? If you are interesting in attending or having Pawsh Pup present a nutritional meeting for your group please contact us by email or phone.

Negative Reinforcement

Does your dog nudge you for attention? 

Use negative reinforcement to decrease the behavior.   Pat Miller, Whole Dog Journal's training editor says when your dog nudges your arm," say “Oops!” and then turn away" (pg. 15).

Miller, P., (July, 2009), Demanding times; Whole Dog Journal, Volume 12.

Canidae Cans

Canidae is one of the last companies to change their case of cans from 24 cans to 12 cans.  Canidae's canned formula however did not change.

Healthier alternatives to Rawhides

Rawhides have been used as a chew for years.  Did you know Rawhides are not digestible? 

Rawhides are often bleached to take away odors and to look more appealing.  If large chunks are swallowed they can expand and possibly cause blockage in the stomach.  Fortunately, there are much healthier altenatives to Rawhides on the market today.

Alternatives include 100% digestible chews such as Bully Sticks, Deer Antlers, Pig Ears, and Bully Tendons. Free Range Bully Sticks are a natural source of glucosamine, odor free, and great for teeth cleaning.  They are made from grass-fed beef which is lower in saturated fat.  Deer Antlers provide essential vitamins and minerals, and are long lasting,  flavorful, and a product of the United States.  Bully Tendons allow for a softer chewing experience for senior dogs.

Keep in mind some of the healthier alternatives when choosing your next dog chew.
