All the best pet care: The Threat Of The Bulge Is Always Lurking

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-threat-of-bulge-is-always-lurking.html

The Threat Of The Bulge Is Always Lurking. One big danger with obesity is that it is a gradual change. Your dog is adding on the fat slowly and you have time to adjust to what you're seeing. You know the case of the frog in boiling water, right? That's why objective measures. Of your dog's body condition are so important. Or at least the eyes of somebody who gets to see your dog only once in a while. There are situations when you need to watch out more than usually. Particularly applies with Cookie.

All the best pet care: Staying On Top Of The Ears: Cookie Is Not Impressed

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/10/staying-on-top-of-ears-cookie-is-not.html

Staying On Top Of The Ears: Cookie Is Not Impressed. Seems to be fine for good. While she was in for her vaccination, the vet checked the foot and the rest of her thoroughly. Everything is good, except her ears. Regardless of the cause, though, it is important to stay on top of it and prevent potential further problems. Excess wax is a breeding ground for infections. The doctor's orders were daily cleaning until all clear, then as needed or once a week. To clean them properly, the ears need to be flooded.

All the best pet care: And So It Begins Again(?) Our First Health-Related Heart Attack With Cookie

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/08/and-so-it-begins-again-our-first-health.html

And So It Begins Again(? Our First Health-Related Heart Attack With Cookie. We went to meet Cookie on the way to Jasmine's ranch. Since the guys got along very well, we proceeded on our trip with an extra passenger. Cookie seemed quite excited about her adventure and not once she looked upset about being taken away from all she knew. The first day she spent so wound up, she didn't slow down until dinner. When Cookie got up she was fully lame on her rear left leg. What were we looking at? There WAS the ir...

All the best pet care: C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Chews For Dogs CAN Be A Choking Hazzard

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/08/cet-oral-hygiene-chews-for-dogs-can-be.html

CET Oral Hygiene Chews For Dogs CAN Be A Choking Hazzard. Since we are still working on Cookie getting used to having her teeth brushed. I decided to help maintain them with C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs. The enzymatic action, together with an abrasive texture is supposed to be effective in helping keep teeth clean when brushing is not possible. Personally, I am not a fan of any hide chews but I decided to make an exception. The guys like them well enough, so that part was not an issue.

All the best pet care: Early Winter Safety: Exploring New Territories

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2014/11/early-winter-safety-exploring-new.html

Early Winter Safety: Exploring New Territories. To the West of our property there is a large swamp. Well, thanks to busy beavers it's really a lake. Which is great, normally, as it serves as a natural boundary for most part of the year. Now, with the cold weather, the swamp is frozen. Frozen enough to appear solid but not enough to trust it. Before, when Cookie went on her hunting trips. The other day, both Cookie and JD went chasing something and ended up on the other side of the swamp. Until the lake f...

All the best pet care: From The End Of A Lead Line To Casa Jasmine: Meet Cookie, Our New Adoptee

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/08/from-end-of-lead-line-to-casa-jasmine.html

From The End Of A Lead Line To Casa Jasmine: Meet Cookie, Our New Adoptee. I knew we were going to adopt a dog at some point but no, I wasn't ready to do so yet. I thought we needed a good long break. And then the urge came to start looking. I felt that Jasmine wanted me to do this and and I felt strongly it was the best way to honor her memory. Our search had some sad moments, I might get to that at another time. And then we found this sweet little girl, needing a home. She is kind of "half wild", with ...

All the best pet care: Creative Solutions And An Incidental Product Review

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/09/creative-solutions-and-incidental.html

Creative Solutions And An Incidental Product Review. For her unhappy foot. Cookie got antibiotics and we were to do 20 minute foot soaks in Epsom salt, twice a day. Sometimes things are easier said than done. Administering the medication was easy, Cookie does accept pills hidden in food. We utilize the method recommended by Dr. Marty Becker, of using three treats, with only the middle one hiding the pill. Cheese did the job just fine and the whole experience was enjoyed. What were we to do? We figured th...

All the best pet care: Putting The Easy Back Into Walking

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/11/putting-easy-back-into-walking.html

Putting The Easy Back Into Walking. Cookie's transition to civilization. Includes learning how to walk on the leash. She doesn't quite understand that flying in the air at the end of it does not qualify. The very first thing we did was the exchange her collar for a harness. To keep he neck safe. We fit her in Jasmine's shoulder harness the first day we got Cookie. Shoulder harness does it's job to protect the neck but doesn't do anything for walking nicely on the leash. Then there is the question how wel...

All the best pet care: Cookie Meets The Electric Horse Fence And Her First Chiropractic Adjustment

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2013/11/cookie-meets-electric-horse-fence-and.html

Cookie Meets The Electric Horse Fence And Her First Chiropractic Adjustment. The other weekend, Cookie got acquainted with the electric fence around the horse run. She was not impressed! There are several runs at the horse farm, which are used depending on the season. Except Winter time, the horses are at the back of the property and the runs up front are empty and the fences are off. With the Winter coming, the horses got moved. A kick from the fence is better than a kick from a horse. Getting Cookie to...

All the best pet care: Cookie's Plantar Paw Pad Injury

http://allthebestpetcare.blogspot.com/2014/12/cookie-plantar-paw-pad-injury.html

Cookies Plantar Paw Pad Injury. We've been exploring include neighboring fields which are open and far enough from the swamp. They are surrounded by woods and we walk both at the edge of the field and venture into the woods. The bandaged footsie isn't slowing Cookie down any. Within the field is a wooded spot with nicely grown trees where Cookie loves to hunt for squirrels. The other day, as we were on our way home, we noticed red spots in the snow. Somebody cut their foot on something? I love antibiotic...
