IDENTIFY THE PET

Pets should wear some form of identification, which will differ based on the animal.

For example, a dog can wear a collar and a name tag. A homing pigeon or other bird may have a numbered ankle band. Many pet owners choose to microchip their pets.

These small devices are implanted under the skin and can be read by a special electronic wand. If you microchip your pet, it is essential to keep your contact information associated with the chip updated.

USE A LEASH OR CARRIER

When the pet is taken out of the house, he or she should be leashed or secured in an animal carrier. Many pets have a strong prey instinct and love to chase animals. Keeping pets close by can keep them from getting lost or injured.

County shelter offers more than just animal control

BY THE DAVIESS COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER

T

he Daviess County Animal Shelter began in 1982, on Kentucky 54, due in no small part to the generosity of Dr. Carl Henry. In 2004, the shelter was moved to its current location on Kentucky 81.

The shelter is an open-admission, county government-operated facility, and is also under contract to take in McLean County animals. As such, no domestic animal, regardless of its health or temperament, will be turned away for admission, so long as the owner is a Daviess or McLean county resident. The shelter is under the direction of the Daviess County Fiscal Court, and a portion of county taxes are allotted for the daily operations and maintenance of the facility. Stray dogs are held for five days, giving the owner time to contact the shelter and reclaim their pet. After this time, the dogs are offered for adoption, sent to rescue groups or humanely euthanized. Euthanasia is a sad fact of operating an animal control facility, as 4,000 or more animals come through the doors each year in Daviess County. However, this shelter has one of the lowest euthanasia rates in the country for an open-admissions facility! Since 2009, the euthanasia rate has been below 20 percent each year, compared to almost 95 percent previously.

WANT TO FIND OUT MORE? For more information about the Daviess County animal shelter, visit www.daviessky.org to view adoptable animals and applications.

The responsibility of the shelter is to enforce animal control laws. On a daily basis, the animal control officers patrol the city and county, responding to citizen complaints, investigating animal abuse, and impounding stray animals.

Citations are issued for numerous violations, including failing to provide proof of the rabies vaccination and county license. All county ordinances can be found online at www.daviessky. gov. These ordinances include (but are not limited to) issues pertaining to animals running at large, proper containment of female dogs in heat, proper housing, food, water and medical care, inspections for kennel license and breeder license.

However, the Daviess County Animal Shelter is more than just animal control.

To continue lowering euthanasia rates, the

shelter actively promotes spaying and neutering of animals. Grants are obtained yearly to fund the SNAP program, which offers low-cost spay neuter surgeries to those who meet low income requirements. Persons reclaiming their pet are encouraged to accept the spay/neuter alternative program. Additionally, a small network of dedicated volunteers regularly transports animals to rescue groups and spend their spare time assisting the shelter staff in caring for the animals.

These volunteers walk dogs, socialize cats, bathe animals, clean kennels and spend time showing each animal undivided love and affection!

Be sure to visit the website www.daviessky.org to view adoptable animals. The shelter currently has free vouchers for those wishing to adopt cats and female pit bulls (prospective adopters must be considered low income or receive some type of government assistance to qualify).

There are numerous ways you can help your local animal shelter. Spay, neuter, volunteer, donate, foster, adopt; and be the voice for animals in your county. Please, report suspected animal abuse and neglect to the shelter at (270) 685-8275 (your call can be kept anonymous). We need the community’s eyes and ears to help keep the animals safe.

Navigating aging with senior pets

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Spunky pups and curious kittens draw the attention of people eager to welcome new pets into their families. As pets begin to age, owners of senior animals may find that they struggle with their pets’ emergent needs in this stage of life.

Senior pets may experience dementia, mood changes, inactivity, pain, and incontinence. But thanks to improved veterinary care and dietary habits, pets can live longer than ever — and remain comfortable well into their senior years.

Cats and dogs are generally considered geriatric at the age of seven, offers the American Veterinary Medical Foundation. Even so, many pets go on to live 12 to 15 years, which can be the equivalent of age 75 to 85 in humans. Geriatric pets are susceptible to the same conditions seen in older people, including cancer, diabetes, weakness, senility, joint or bone diseases, and heart disease. It is essential to keep an open dialogue with a veterinarian to discuss any potential health issues aging pets may encounter.

According to veterinary behaviorist Nicholas Dodman, coauthor of “Good Old Dog: Expert Advice for Keeping Your Aging Dog Healthy, Happy and Comfortable,” pet owners must realize that older pets are less able to thermoregulate, so they’re more sensitive to extreme temperature changes. Pets may need blankets or sweaters. They also may need to spend more time indoors when the weather is harsh.

Dietar y changes may need to be made. Older pets may eat less, but they should be fed high-quality, nutritious foods that help keep their weight in check. Excess weight can put added stress on sensitive joints and may contribute to problems with diabetes.

Allergies can affect everyone — even the

family dog Here’s how to recognize skin and food allergies in your furry friend

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

According to the American Kennel Club, various types of allergies can affect dogs. Skin allergies and food allergies can be ver y unpleasant.

And just like their owners, dogs may be vulnerable to environmental allergens like dust, pollen and mold.

Learning about allergies and how to recognize them in dogs can help pet owners ensure their four-legged friends live as happily and as comfortably as possible.

SKIN ALLERGIES

The most common type of allergic reactions in dogs, skin allergies, also referred to as “allergic dermatitis,” are caused by flea allergy dermatitis, food allergies or environmental allergies. Flea allergy dermatitis is an allergic reaction to flea bites. Dogs may be allergic to flea saliva, which can make them very itchy, particularly at the base of their tails. As dogs scratch their itches, their

skin can become red and inflamed and may scab over.

The AKC notes that itchy skin may also be a byproduct of food allergies or sensitivities to certain foods. In such instances, the most common places dogs will itch are their ears and paws. Itchiness also may be accompanied by gastrointestinal issues.

Dogs that only seem to itch their skin during certain times of the year may be dealing with skin allergies resulting from environmental allergens like dust, pollen and mold. The ears and paws are the most commonly affected areas in these instances, though dogs also may feel itchiness in other areas, such as their wrists, ankles, muzzle, underarms, groin, around their eyes, and in between their toes.

as common as people think. In many instances, food sensitivities are to blame for many symptoms dogs exhibit. If the veterinarian suspects a dog has a food sensitivity, he or she will work with dog owners to identify the ingredient that is causing a reaction. Both food allergies and food sensitivities can trigger gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea and/or vomiting. Skin conditions like hives and facial swelling may be indicative of an allergy.

Itchiness, poor skin and coat, and chronic ear or foot infections are among the symptoms of food sensitivities noted by the AKC. Diagnosing allergies in dogs can be complicated. Veterinarians may first tr y to r ule out other conditions that may be causing symptoms in your dog. If the vet suspects an allergy, he or she may try to confirm this by utilizing an elimination diet that restricts what the dog eats for 12 weeks.

Castlen Dog Park set to open in Owensboro Construction of play area at Legion Park expected to be complete in summer 2019

A

BY JODI KEEN

MESSENGER-INQUIRER

fter years of ideas and negotiations, a public play area for dogs is set to make its debut this year in Owensboro.

Castlen Dog Park — named after Owensboro Dog Park Association founder, local real estate broker and primary donor Steve Castlen — will run about two acres inside Legion Park and allow leash-free exercise and play for small and large breeds.

The run up to the Owensboro City Commission approving the dog park in October proved more drawn out than expected and was often fraught with tension between changing city officials and supporters of the dog park. Originally, a section near Horse Fork Creek was proposed as the

OWENSBORO DOG PARK ASSOCIATION Keep up with developments by following the Owensboro Dog Park Association at www.facebook.com/Owensborodogpark/ .

site for the park. But when talks broke down, Owensboro Parks and Recreation Department director Amanda Rogers helped organizers compile a list of alternative sites to explore. Legion Park was an option, and moving the project within an existing city park paved the way for a successful collaboration.

“We’re very grateful to everyone who’s gone to city commission meetings and written to commissioners and given donations,” Castlen said. “(This project is) citizens working with leaders,” Pattie Martin, one of the three dog park directors, added. “(It shows that) if you want something, you can work together and get it for the benefit of all citizens.”

Funds that the Castlen Dog Park Association has

raised will pay for construction; remaining money will be used to help maintain the facilities. Bids are now open for construction. The site is planned near the Kiwanis pavilion and adjacent to Legion Park’s walking trail. Visitors can unhook their dogs, give them water or pick up a waste sack in the de-leashing area, and then proceed through one of two gated entrances into the park. The play area will be separated into two spaces for small and large breeds, respectively. Castlen said he hopes the park eventually includes a third play area for dogs with special needs and those that need lower-impact play.

Martin says the dog park will benefit more than just the dogs that live in Owensboro. She points out that a dog park can make a positive impact on residents’ mental and physical health. Dogs that are properly exercised exhibit fewer behavioral problems, Martin says, and use of the park could lead to a possible decline in the number of dogs surrendered to local animal shelters because of incompatibility with their owners.

Castlen and Martin say they expect the park to open this summer.

“I didn’t realize it would take so many more people and more time than expected,” Castlen said, “but it will be worth the wait.”
