Finding Quality Pet Care at Affordable Prices…

W

ith the current economic environment on the decline many pet owners are feeling the economic pinch when it comes to pet health care and medical expenses. Advances in veterinary medicine over the past thirty years have allowed veterinarians access to sophisticated diagnostic tools, and to perform sophisticated surgical procedures. “In today’s economic environment, it is important not only to recognize the medical needs of the pet, but also to recognize the financial feasibility of the pet owner,” says Dr. Goldstein of Beltway Surgical Referral. Referral veterinarians such as Dr. Goldstein generally receive an additional four years of training after eight years of veterinary and undergraduate school in their specific field.

P.O. Box 1073 Dr. Gary M. Goldstein, D.V.M., M.S. sees the same type of problems over and over on a regular basis.

Trap-Neuter-Return: The Best Approach for Feral Cats

by Alley Cat Allies

C

ats have lived outdoors alongside humans for 10,000 years. They can thrive in every landscape, from the inner city to rural farmlands. Feral cats are members of the domestic cat species, but are not socialized to people. They live in groups called “colonies,” and unless they’re neutered, the colonies grow. But what if there were no new kittens?

TNR involves humanely trapping outdoor cats and taking them to a veterinarian to be vaccinated and neutered

Alley Cat Allies endorses Trap-NeuterReturn (TNR) for feral cats. TNR involves humanely trapping outdoor cats and taking them to a veterinarian to be vaccinated and neutered. Cats who are friendly toward humans and young kittens are adopted to good homes. Adult feral cats are ‘eartipped’ for identification—while under anesthesia, the tip of their left ear is clipped. They are then returned to their original colony site.

The colony’s population stabilizes—no more kittens!

Hundreds of communities have embraced TNR. A new Alley Cat Allies Law & Policy Brief shows a tenfold increase in the number of local governments that have adopted pro-TNR policies within just the last decade.

“Local governments are moving toward TNR because it works,” said Becky Robinson, president and co-founder of Alley Cat Allies. “For nearly 100 years the default system has been to catch and kill outdoor cats—an approach that is not only cruel but also highly ineffective, because when one set of cats is removed from a colony others move in. TNR is the only humane and effective method proven to stabilize and reduce cat populations.”

To Collar or Not to Collar

by Margot Woods, Master Trainer, Applewoods Dog Training

O

nce was the time when all thoughtful, well-meaning, caring dog owners understood the reasons why putting a collar on their dog just made good sense. After all, there weren’t so many choices then. You chose to put a leather buckle collar on your dog and hung tags that gave name and maybe an address, showed proof of a rabies vaccination and maybe proof of you having paid a county dog tax. You chose to put a choke chain on your dog when it came time to get serious about training. When you chose to do that training, you quickly learned the difference between a collar that fit correctly and one that was too big. Sadly, many times the collar meant to help, meant to teach, meant to give more meaning to a life was responsible for taking that very life.

Let’s take a look at a four different size chain collars. All are slip or choke collars. One will be great for training and the others will be killers. Can you guess which one is the real training collar?

In this picture, our model is not exactly thrilled with having to sport four different collars, most of which do not fit. Let’s number the collars starting with the one closest to her head. We have a total of four. Have you taken a guess yet? If so, did you say that number four was the correct fit? How about number two, is it the correct fit? Maybe a trick has been pulled on you and none of the four collars is correct for training.

Look a bit closer. It should be easier now that there are only two collars to choose from in this picture. The lower collar is what we so often see these days when a dog shows up for class wearing a chain collar. It is so big it actually could qualify as a necklace.

While it is very easy to put on or take off due to its size, it is also very dangerous. Sanity could very easily get a rear foot caught under this collar and end up with a broken leg. She could get it snagged on any number of things and end up slowly choking to death. This is NOT a good collar for any pet dog at any time.

www.petloverscompanion.com • 703.780.4400

The upper collar is a good fit. It is still large enough to put on and take off without much effort on the owner’s part. It is snug enough to reduce the danger of either a catching a foot or it being snagged by some protruding object. It is of a strong enough gauge chain to withstand normal training collar wear and tear without breaking. It is a good choice for communication and therefore, training.

This picture shows the training collar Sanity wears on a daily basis. It is the same length as the properly fitted chain collar in the second picture; however, it is of a finer gauge and so really doesn’t make a good training collar for training a beginner.

It is just right for a welltrained dog to wear as an everyday training collar.

In dog training, the long-range goal should always be use of the invisible collar.

23

Where is the collar in this picture? The collar you can’t see is actually the very best fit of all.

Putting this sort of collar on your dog requries many hours of work and effort on your part. It means learning what today amounts to a new way of living. Once learned both you and your dog will have years of joy filled days with many happy adventures along the way Once your dog is well trained and wearing this invisible collar, you are free to make use of all sorts of fun, frilly, silly, serous,or practical collars. Your dog will be able to wear any sort of collar that happens to take your fancy. All this and so much more is waiting just around the corner for both of you. All you need do to start the process is to chose a correctly fitting chain slip/training collar. Of course, you will also have to do your homework, but that is another story for another day.

Have a great recall this day and for all those days to come.

Heart Murmurs in Dogs and Cats

By Chesapeake Veterinary Cardiology Associates

The primary care veterinarian will typically refer the patient to a cardiologist upon suspicion of heart disease

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 concerning for people to be informed 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 in veterinary medicine show greatly improved quality of life and longevity when treated early on by both a primary care veterinarian and a 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

pets end up in heart failure and the emergency room when early diagnosis and treatment could have resulted in longer, healthier life.

A cardiology evaluation when the abnormal sounds are first heard provides the best care and possible outcome for your pet.

Most heart murmurs indicate underlying cardiac disease. There are many types of heart disease in pets.

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 minimal to no side effects. Cardiologists utilize medications as well as nutritional support in their treatment of heart disease. Treatment plans are individually tailored to the pet with the goal of enhancing the pet’s quality of life and longevity. With a team of doctors and a loving family, most pets live healthy, happy lives even with heart disease.

When the body is injured, damaged cells slow down and impede the healing process.

Laser therapy works by stimulating the energy generating areas, the mitochondria, of these cells. This allows the injured cells to heal faster. As a result, with laser therapy your pet can recover from damage to bones, ligaments, muscles and skin more quickly than they would otherwise. Laser therapy also reduces inflammation, which in turn reduces pain, improves range of motion, and speeds the healing process.

Laser therapy isn’t just useful for your pet during a traumatic injury or recovery from a medical procedure; it is also an excellent way to improve quality of life for pets suffering from age related joint issues, such as osteoarthritis. Arthritic conditions cause swelling in the joints, impeding your pet’s mobility and making some of the fun things they used

Curling up on your lap and purring may have been one of your cat’s favorite ways to unwind, chasing a disc or ball around the park may have been your dog’s personal version of paradise, but now the motion required leaves them hesitant or completely uninterested in what used to be a common joy.

Regular therapeutic laser treatment can give them, and you, those activities back.

Call Pet Dominion (301)-258-0333 and ask us about our therapeutic laser treatment.

The treatment is quick, noninvasive, and painless. If your pet has been injured, needs to undergo a surgical procedure, or is just experiencing the difficulties that frequently accompany old age, this procedure may benefit them.

“Wellness Yearly Visit” series— Your Pet’s EYE CARE

by Dr. Jo Anne Carey, co-founder of Takoma Park Animal Clinic

T

here are a number of conditions with the eyes that can affect the well-being and safety of your dog or cat. Any pet is susceptible to eye problems but those with flatter faces such as Pugs, Boxers, Persians, and Himalayans are more at risk.

Many dogs have a condition called KCS or “dry eye”. This is a chronic and very serious condition as it can lead to blindness if left untreated. You may see a lot of yellow or sticky discharge on the eyeball and eyelids that is difficult to clean off and comes back frequently. The corneal surface will become dull and dry and then a dark pigment may form. That pigment can lead to total or partial blindness. You must visit your veterinarian when you notice this condition occurring, follow the treatment directions and be very diligent with your home care.

Any pet is susceptible to eye problems but those with flatter faces such as Pugs, Boxers, Persians, and Himalayans are more at risk.

To clean the eyes on a daily basis, I use iLid and Lash gel to soften the crusts around the eye which makes it very easy to remove.

Look for any hairs protruding into the eye.

It is very important to keep hair off of the corneas (surface of the eye). If you cannot safely trim the hair around the eyes, take your pet to the groomer or your veterinar-

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.

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.
