From the Publisher Hello everyone, I am so excited to bring you the next edition of the Northern Virginia Pet Lovers Companion for so many reasons. First, it’s my inaugural edition as Publisher and I am thrilled to share the labor of love that we have produced for you and your furry friends. Second, now that Pet Lovers Companion is part of the NOVADog Magazine (novadogmagazine.com) family, I am excited to join the communities together. Next—I am enthused to pool resources to continue the mission of both publications to educate and inform the pet-loving population on being great pet owners.

Equally important to our mission is working tirelessly to support non-profits and animal welfare organizations to improve the lives of abused and homeless animals. There are so many opportunities to engage and so many wonderful events coming up, I hope to meet you at an upcoming event. I am excited to get to know all of the amazing and wonderful readers of Pet Lovers Companion.

One of the first things we did to help establish the community was to launch a new Facebook page for Pet Lovers Companion—please like the page so you can be the first to know about the giveaways and contests we hold and also learn about fun events in the community. It’s an active way to engage with us and other pet lovers—and it’s quick and easy to do— like us today AND become a regular visitor! www.facebook.com/ PetLoversCompanion and if you are a dog-lover, like NOVADog’s page too: www.facebook.com/ novadog.

On a personal level, I am excited to be jumping into the pet industry with both feet. I feel

that bringing these two publications together is an important step for the DC Metro pet industry and together they provide the region with comprehensive, information and valuable resources. And let’s face it, the pet industry is just plain awesome. The people are great, the animals are amazing and when you put that together, amazing things will happen and I am looking forward to taking the journey together!

There are some great articles within the pages you are about to explore and some fantastic resources for your use. Thank you for your continued support. I would absolutely love to hear from you about what you would like to see included next year and what you found useful. Please let the establishments you frequent know that you heard about them in the Pet Lovers Companion so we can continue to grow and develop our community.

I am looking forward to a great year and hope you are too. Please reach out—come to an event, drop an email and join us on Facebook! See you soon.

Dog Parks Continue to Grow

hese parks provide a wonderful opportunity for dogs to exercise and socialize with T other canines. Some dog parks are private and for members only with fees and strict enforcement of park rules. Private parks are rare. Most are the result of grassroots move-

ments and rely largely on users to adhere to rules, clean up after the dogs, and keep the peace by removing aggressive animals. Without the screening required by private parks, there is no way of knowing if all park participants are properly socialized and are current on vaccinations.

Most parks operate smoothly. Some parks provide space for dogs to run off leash while others set the stage for positive interaction among pets and people.

Note: Some parks may not be completely fenced. Usage may be limited to residents of the particular area.

Obesity and the Exotic/Avian Pet

By Meredith Davis, DVM Caring Hands Animal Hospital

Fortunately, there are things that can be done to turn the tide on obesity in our pets.

A

t different points during the year, many of us resolve to shed some extra pounds. The weeks after holiday feasts or long vacations are a great time to get motivated and moving, as well as pick the right foods to make us healthy. The same can be said for our pets.

Obesity is not a disease limited to humans, as I see many different animal species come in to the clinic carrying some extra weight. There are many health concerns related to carrying extra ounces or pounds.

Overweight body conditions can: lead to reduced energy and playfulness; predispose pets to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and heart disease; exacerbate signs of arthritis in the older pets; lead to foot sores and pressure sores on feet from carrying the extra weight; and in some pets make it hard to groom and stay clean. One of the worst cases of obesity I have seen

Heart Murmurs in Dogs and Cats

By Chesapeake Veterinary Cardiology Associates What is a heart murmur? A heart murmur is an abnormal noise in your pet’s heart heard with a stethoscope. The noise is a swishing sound in the midst of the normal lub-dub of the heartbeat. It is often unnerving for people to learn that their pet may have heart disease. The primary care veterinarian will typically refer the patient to a cardiologist upon suspicion of heart disease for a few reasons. As with people, pets with cardiac disease show greatly improved quality of life and longevity when treated early on by both a primary care veterinarian and a veterinary cardiologist.

Secondly, most veterinarians convey to families the risk of performing procedures requiring sedation or anesthesia on patients

who have cardiac abnormalities.

Importance of Accurate Diagnosis.

Most heart murmurs indicate underlying cardiac disease. There are many types of heart disease in pets. Some are acquired (occurring later in life), and some are congenital (present at birth). Although pets don’t typically have coronary artery disease like people do, they can have many other types of heart disease.

Examples of these include conditions such as arrhythmias; abnormalities in the heart valves, chambers or vessels; or changes in the ability for the heart muscle to serve adequately as a pump.

Tragically, many pets seem fine until they develop severe heart disease and end up in a crisis

situation. Finding a heart murmur gives you an opportunity to determine the exact problem and allows you to take action early in the course of the disease. Too often, pets end up in heart failure and the emergency room when early diagnosis and treatment could have resulted in longer, healthier lives. A cardiology evaluation when the abnormal sounds are first heard provides the best care and possible outcome for your pet.

performed and interpreted by a board-certified cardiologist or resident allows for noninvasive, immediate means of diagnosing your pet’s condition by an expert who can determine the best treatment. Once the condition is properly diagnosed, treatment can begin.

How is heart disease treated? The vast majority of veterinary cardiac patients are treated on an outpatient basis with medication.

Most pets tolerate this remarkably well with P.O.Box 239, How do we find out what’s wrong? minimal to no side effects. Cardiologists utilize Mount Vernon, VA 22121 The gold standard to assess heart disease is an medications as well as nutritional support in evaluation and echocardiogram (ultrasound of their treatment of heart disease.

Having an echocardiogram lives even with heart disease.

Pets often hide signs of heart disease until the very late stages. Early diagnosis and treatment greatly improves the quality and quantity of life for your pet.

• Display the name and phone number of your vet in a prominent place. Show it to the pet sitter before departing.

• Place out appropriate food and water bowls for your pet’s use. Clean them beforehand.

• Put all pet supplies in a specific area, so the sitter doesn’t have to search for leashes, food, or medications. Let the sitter know where you’ve stored those items.

• If the sitter will be coming in the evening, hook up a timer light so he or she won’t have to walk into a dark house. It will be homier for your pet as well.

• Select a neighbor to keep an eye on your place while you’re gone, and let him or her know that a pet sitter will be coming to your home while you’re away.

• Provide a trusted friend or neighbor with a key to your house in case an emergency or inclement weather delays your pet sitter from making a scheduled visit. Make sure to give ______________________________________ the pet sitter the name and number of your emergency contact.

• If possible, stop by the facility a few days before you leave to familiarize your dog with the new surroundings and to meet the staff that will be caring for him or her.

• Pack any special diet or medications your dog might need during his or her stay, and remind staff about any allergies or phobias your pet may have.

• Most dogs benefit from having familiar blankets and toys during their stay, so be sure to pack those (if the facility allows it).

• Make sure the facility has your contact information and the phone number of your veterinarian on file.

• Hectic packing can trigger feelings of anxiety in your dog, so go about your business as calmly and casually as possible. Gather your pet’s boarding supplies and have them in the car prior to leaving—to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary stress and anxiety.

• When dropping your dog off at the kennel, keep it low key and don’t be overly affectionate or emotional, which could tip your pet off that he or she will be without you for a while. Simply hand the leash over to the staff person, who will offer up a distraction while you quietly slip out the door.

What to Look for in Dog Daycare and Boarding

By Jessica Ward

T

here are plenty of places to board your loved ones when you leave home, or drop them off during long work days.

But how do you select a good provider?

Daycare is a great option for parents who spend long days out of the house. Quality doggie daycare businesses should give pet owners peace of mind knowing that their pups are getting the exercise and socialization they need and desire, all in a safe, secure, and monitored environment.

To gain this socialization and play, one important feature to look for in daycare is a cage-free environment; after all, you want your dog to socialize and play while there (if your dog does not interact well with others, discuss this with the provider). Your dog’s social skills will increase as they learn how to play and interact with other dogs in a safe, fun, and meaningful way. Boredom behaviors caused by lack of activity, or inadequate mental and physical stimulation, can be virtually eliminated. Additionally, when your pup is picked up, you will

have a happy, relaxed dog. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog.

For boarding your dog, facilities can range from simple to luxurious. Some boarding options are completely customizable to keep your dog as happy as possible. Luxury facilities offer amenities like: private, indoor suites in various sizes; individual off-thefloor beds; soft lighting; and (for added relaxation) soothing music played while dogs rest. Whether it’s sharing a suite with a pal, or just having the comfort of a favorite toy or blanket, quality boarding facilities can provide almost anything your dog desires. Even if you don’t choose a luxury facility, all boarding businesses should ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. Facilities should provide clean bedding, cages and runs; safe and secure sleeping arrangements; and the ability to keep your dog alone or with others based on temperament.

Adopt a Rescued Dog

There are several benefits to adopting a rescued dog. Many rescued dogs are mature adults who are housebroken. Adult dogs are past the stage of chewing on your shoes and furniture. They are loyal to the hand that feeds them, shelters them, and loves them. Give a loving pet a second chance – Adopt.

Listed on the following pages are telephone contacts for individual dog breed rescues. If the breed you are looking for is not listed, it may be because the contact for that breed has declined to be in the book or we are not aware of them. Keep in mind when calling these contacts that in many cases you are calling someone’s home. Most of these people are volunteers who donate their time for the love of the breed. Be respectful of the hours you call. Also, be aware that it may take time to get a response to your call.
