Great Valentine's Day Dog Treat!

2012-01-30T14:55:00.000-08:00

Pumpkin Pupcakes

Ingredients:

1 can mashed pumpkin (15 oz. – NOT spiced pie filling)
¾ C garbanzo (chickpea) & fava bean flour
½ C dry powdered milk

Mix ingredients together, spoon into mini muffin tins and bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes. These treats are very soft so they are great for older pets or dogs with sensitive teeth. Refrigerate or freeze to preserve.

Pumpkin is packed with vitamins that boost immunity and help fight cancer. It is surprisingly low in calories and high in fiber—great for a low fat, heart-healthy treat and even as a substitute for a portion of your dog’s daily food intake to reduce weight.

Using bean flour is a great substitute for regular wheat flour because it is high in protein and dietary fiber, as well as a good source of iron.

Top Ten Reasons to Adopt an Older Dog*
Housetrained 1. Older dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the difficult stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners and mopping/cleaning up after accidents.
Won't chew inappropriate items
2. Older dogs are not teething puppies, and won't chew your shoes and furniture while growing up.

Focus to learn
3. Older dogs can focus well because they've mellowed. Therefore, they learn quickly.

Know what "no" means
4. Older dogs have learned what "no" means. If they hadn't learned it, they wouldn't have gotten to be "older" dogs.

Settle in with the "pack"
5. Older dogs settle in easily, because they've learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.

Good at giving love
6. Older dogs are good at giving love, once they get into their new, loving home. They are grateful for the second chance they've been given.

WYSIWYG
7. What You See Is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape and personality. Puppies can grow up to be quite different from what they seemed at first.

Instant companions
8. Older dogs are instant companions -- ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do.

Time for yourself
9. Older dogs leave you time for yourself, because they don't make the kinds of demands on your time and attention that puppies and young dogs do.

A good night's sleep
10. Older dogs let you get a good night's sleep because they're accustomed to human schedules and don't generally need nighttime feedings, comforting, or bathroom breaks.

Every year I see pets, especially dogs, left in the car while the owner "runs a quick errand" inside a store or restaurant. The windows are cracked open, the dog will be fine, right?

Heatstroke in Pets - Overexertion as a Cause of Heatstroke in Pets

Dogs cannot sweat to cool down like people. They can sweat a little through their paw pads, but the main way dogs cool down (rather inefficiently) is by panting.

What signs should you watch for so your dog stays co…

It might be easy to look the other way. Stay out of other people's business. The owner must be coming right back to the dog in the car, right? Maybe not. Just how hot is it in there?

Memorial Day fun with your dog!

2011-05-17T20:21:00.001-07:00

Family Fun with your pet at home this Memorial Day

Memorial Day is quickly approaching but there’s plenty of time to plan an awesome weekend with family, friends, and don’t forget your pet companions. With gas prices on the rise there’s no need to travel to far from home to enjoy the start of summer. PetTravel.com has gathered a few fun ideas to make your Memorial weekend memorable.

Enjoy the day at your favorite local park: Parks have many benefits. They’re a great place to enjoy summer weather, they’re usually rather inexpensive and the majority of parks are very pet friendly. Whether you’re grilling, camping, or just having a family get together you can always make the most of local parks. Just be sure to be a responsible pet owner and supervise your pets. With a little work, you can be proud of your pet’s manners in public.

Make a Splash: The ultimate summer activity! What better way to cool down then taking a swim at the pool, beach (just make sure it’s pet friendly) or lake with your pet? If you’ve got a dog that can’t resist the water, you’ll have a happy camper by the end of the day and probably a pretty tired one too. No pet friendly water activities available locally? No problem. Pick up a kiddie pool at a discount store for some inexpensive water fun!

Treat your sweetie: Show your pet how much you care with a trip to the local pet shop or better yet, make some homemade treats for your pet. You can find some excellent recipes all over the internet. Besides the appreciation of making them yourself, they can also be used as obedience tools or rewards after exercise and/or good behavior. Click here for some great recipes!

Bath time fun: Most of us have an extended weekend so let’s get productive. You’ve been meaning to give your dog or cat a bath but have been delaying the inevitable. Well, let’s get it done. Even if you don’t do it yourself, your pet will (eventually) thank you for being clean. Especially if you’re having a party later in the weekend, your pet will be the freshest face making an appearance!

Although Memorial weekend is an excellent way to catch up with friends, family and fun it is also a day to celebrate how proud and lucky we are to be Americans. Please don’t forget to commemorate all the U.S. soldiers (canines included!) who fight, got injured, or lost their lives while in the military service fighting for our freedom.

Dogs Benefit from Nutritional Supplements

Dogs Benefit from the Nutrition of Supplements

(NaturalNews) Dogs can benefit from taking supplements as well as human, and many pet owners are jumping on the doggie nutrition bandwagon. Sales of pet nutritional supplements in the United States increased by seven percent in 2009, according to the Nutrition Business Journal. Sales of human nutritional products increased as well but only by six percent. A few nutrients are known to provide maximum nutrition for dogs, including Omega-3s, glucosamine, antioxidant vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, and digestive enzymes. Pet stores now stock many of these dog supplements.

Digestive Enzymes for Dogs
Dogs who eat grass need the addition of digestive enzymes to their diet, according to the holistic vet, Dr. Jackie Obando at Mercy Vet. By adding a powered digestive enzyme to the food, the digestion improves and most grass eating is eliminated. There is nothing wrong with eating a little grass, but it can cause an upset stomach in some pets.

Omega-3 and Fish Oil for Dogs
Adding fish oil to a dog's diet helps them deal with inflammation. For dogs that have allergic dermatitis or food allergies, fish oil is an important nutrient to add to their diet. Dogs that are prone to arthritis can also benefit from the Omega 3s. Any joint problem and even cancers are helped by the addition of fish oil. The recommended dose is 150 mg a day for dogs under 15 pounds, and twice that amount for a medium dog. A large dog can take up to 450 mg a day.

Glucosamine for Dogs
Glucosamine has been shown to help with arthritis and joint conditions in humans, and it benefits pets as well. The daily suggested amount is 1000 mg a day, and this can be divided into two servings and given with each meal.

Coenzyme Q10 for Dogs
As dogs age, they may require Coenzyme Q10 to help with their heart health. The sign of a Co-Q10 deficiency in dogs is dry eyes. Though some other supplements are made specifically for dogs, this nutrient will have to be purchased in a human vitamin store. The dosage is 15 to 60 mg depending on the size of the dog.

Antioxidant Vitamin E
Humans and dogs alike benefit from antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin E. Vitamin E helps maintain a healthy heart, which is important for many inbred, pedigree dogs. Vitamin E also helps with inflammation and cancer prevention in dogs. For a small dog, 200 IU is the daily dose, and up to 400 IU a day is good for a larger dog.

All- Natural Doggie Treats! YUM!

2011-02-21T13:08:00.000-08:00

Thank you so much to GirlA from Petsugar.com for this awesome recipe! Happy Presidents Day!

Our CEO Spuds loves a good all-natural dog recipe....so when he found this recipe this morning he had to share!

All-Natural, Vegan Dog Treats
All-Natural Dog Treat

Ingredients

1-1/2 C whole wheat flour

1-1/2 C white flour

1/2 C organic, all-natural peanut butter

1 C water

2 Tbs oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Using a mixer, combine the water, oil and peanut butter; cream until mixed well. Add the flours one cup at a time. You will have a crumbly mixture.
1. Press together tightly to form a hard ball.
2. I then divided the dough in half so that it’s easier to work with. Just work a little quickly as the other half of the dough will start to get a bit drier. Roll out to a 1/4″ thickness and cut into 3-4″ shapes. I used a pizza cutter to make little squares. Obviously, feel free to make any size or shape that your pup’s little heart desires.
3. This is just half the dough—I ended up with twice this much. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Hopefully, the peanut butter smell in the house isn’t torturing Moe, but at least he gets these all-natural treats to make up for it!

Our Valentines day wish for you!

Chocolate and your pets: The Truth

2011-02-07T14:05:00.000-08:00

We've had a lot of people writing to our resident Vet and asking about Chocolate and their animals. Maybe its because Valentines day is around the corner- or Easter! Either way, we've got answers for you!

CHOCOLATE: THE TRUTH

Q: My boyfriend insists that a small amount of chocolate is safe to give to my Chihuahua. My Chihuahua begs for it and he doesn’t seem to have any problems after he eats chocolate. So, should I allow my boyfriend to continue sharing his M&M’s with my dog?
A: How many times have you heard the saying, "Don't give your dog chocolate it will kill him"? Well, I’m sure you heard this multiple times because it can be true!! The truth is that chocolate contains theobromine, a methylxanthine compound similar to caffeine. Methylxanthines negatively affects the heart and nervous system. The clinical signs can include: Increased heart rate, muscle tremors, vomiting, diarrhea, hyper excitability, etc. In short if sufficient amounts are given, chocolate is toxic and can kill your dog. Furthermore, there is no specific antidote for chocolate poisoning. So even though your dog doesn’t seem to be affected by it, chocolate can be detrimental to your Chihuahua’s health and should be avoided.

Bottom line? Don't feed your beloved pet chocolate!

:)

Love,

Dr Jane. In-house Pet Specialist

Best of LA: Dog-Friendly Brunch

2011-01-29T15:14:00.000-08:00

One of the best things to do in LA on a nice weekend is enjoy a delicious brunch with friends. Luckily, there are a few great spots to eat brunch and bring your lovely furry friend.

1. Toast
This very popular spot on West 3rd provides some great people watching. Mostly draws a younger crowd with the occasional celeb. They'll provide your pooch with cold water bowls and complimentary doggie treats. Just don't forget the over-sized sunglasses!

2. Cat & The Fiddle
Cat & The Fiddle is on busy Sunset Blvd, tucked back behind some trees. Enjoy the nice patio where you can hang out with your dog, friends, and re-hash the fun of the night before. Great for fish-and-chips and sports games.

3.Alcove Cafe
This immensely popular spot is a great place to enjoy Sunday brunch, or take a break and enjoy their huge selection of bakery goods and teas. Housed in two quaint cottages, the Alcove Cafe is perfect if you're craving Red Velvet cake.
