Instances like this, along with the fact that resistant strains of bacteria are developing at increasingly rapid rates and outpacing the introduction of new antibiotics, has caused public health officials and the pet care community to actively address the issue of responsible use of antibiotics in companion animals. “Recognizing that antibiotic resistant germs are a growing and serious health risk to both humans and animals, last year PIJAC committed to work with the pet care community to create best management practices to combat AMR as part of our participation in the

IT'S OK TO INTRODUCE THE PACIFIER
BEFORE 30 DAYS
Ah, the pacifier. All the books say that babies get nipple confusion and not to give them a pacifier for one month. I learned all my mom friends had introduced a pacifier after day two…while in the hospital. I’m so rule–abiding, I waited for one month —but regret not starting sooner! All those long nights…why didn’t someone tell me it was ok to start earlier?!

Walking dogs this way before allowing for close introductions gives dogs lots of time for polite “long-distance” sniffing as they walk. It provides them with exercise and direction, and it is something we do for as long as it takes both dogs to
ADDITIONAL TIP
When orchestrating new dog introductions in this manner, set excited dogs up for success by exercising them first, independently, for as long as it takes to cool their jets. Dogs much prefer meeting calm individuals to excitable ones.
