Dear Reader, When I moved here to Bakersfield in 2010, one of my first concerns was finding a veterinarian for my aging little dog. And next, finding out where the nearest supplies and groomers might be, and good places to take her to walk. Later, as I started my dog walking and pet sitting business, I found that my team and I were often asked for recommendations about all things pet-related. And from these experiences, the idea for the 2014 Bakersfield Whole Earth Pets Directory was born. The Directory is a team effort - Linda Toelle, Neel Sannappa and I did the research. Linda Toelle also took the cover photograph of the “Welcome to Bakersfield” sign. And we have tried to catch the information about all things pet related, but I am certain in this fast paced time we live in, we have probably missed a few. If we missed your petrelated service or pet-friendly business, I apologize – and encourage you to complete the form on page 4 to be included in next year’s Directory. We hope that you will find this a useful reference, and we welcome your suggestions, ideas and feedback. If you would like to distribute copies of the Directory, please contact us. We are committed to providing accurate and helpful information for our pets and yours. Sincerely, Natalia Corres, Owner of Whole Earth Pets

Can’t Get Your Dog To Stop Chewing? Dogs chew for a variety of reasons. The main ones are teething, boredom, and separation anxiety. Puppies between four to six months of age chew because they are teething and chewing helps to ease their gum discomfort. You must provide your puppy with appropriate items to chew, and confine him to areas where there are no tempting objects such as sneakers, socks, children’s toys, or any other household objects. Using a crate or baby gates are good ways to keep your puppy confined and keep the puppy safe from harmful items to chew, as well as protect your home from an eager puppy’s teeth! It is unfair to expect your puppy to know what he cannot chew if you allow him free run of your house and access to all of your personal items. If you use a crate make sure that you give your puppy some safe, durable chew toys to chew on while he is in his crate. Excellent examples of chew toys for your puppy are Nylabones, sterilized bones, durable, hollow rubber toys like Kongs stuffed with a little bit of peanut butter, biscuits, yogurt, or other food items that are good for your puppy. If you have a puppy that is an aggressive chewer, avoid items such as rawhide or cow hooves. Dogs with powerful jaws can break up large bits of these items and swallow them, causing stomach obstructions and possible surgery to remove them.
8
Puppies experience pain in their gums as they lose their baby teeth and their adult teeth come in. You can give them ice cubes to chew on, which will help numb the painful feeling in their gums and jaw. You can also make “chicksicles” by putting some chicken broth in your ice cube tray. Teach your puppy what toys are appropriate for him to chew on. When the puppy attempts to chew on something unacceptable, remove the object from the puppy’s mouth, and then give the puppy an acceptable toy to chew on. Praise the puppy when he starts to chew on the acceptable toy. You can use the same technique with an adult dog that you have just adopted. You can also teach your dog a “leave it” command to let go of objects, and it can be particularly useful when you walk your dog outside, as many dogs will tend to pick up less than desirable objects on the street like cigarette butts and trash. Adult dogs who are bored will chew to give themselves something to do during the day when you are not at home, or in the evenings when you are home and not interacting with the dog. Exercising your dog regularly can assist with ending destructive chewing, as a tired dog is a happy dog. Giving your dog an outlet to expend his pent-up energy is an excellent way to eliminate destructive behaviors, as a wellexercised dog will most likely want to relax and sleep in your home instead of finding things to chew on to work out his frustrations.
9
There are some excellent toys as well to provide your dog with mental stimulation when you are not home. Invest in some durable “dog puzzles”, such as the Buster Cube and the Kong. A Buster Cube is a hollow cube that you can fill with kibble or other treats, and the dog must figure out how to roll the cube around to get the treats. You can even feed your dog his or her breakfast in this way, as it will take the dog quite some time to get all the kibble out and help him to expend energy in a positive, fun way. Kongs are another toy that you can stuff with food and provide to your dog while you are either not at home, or preoccupied with household tasks. An expertly packed Kong full of food can be a challenging task for your dog and provide exercise for the dog’s gums and jaws as well.

Slithering into Bakersfield’s Heart
Fauna for the Future is an exciting club reaching out to everyone with a passion for reptiles. We pride ourselves in having members who are dedicated to the education, conservation and rehabilitation of all herpetological species. Members and other interested individuals gather every second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm at the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History, 2018 Chester Avenue, for regular meetings in a supportive and encouraging environment. We regularly have great guest speakers, and provide simple training on how to properly care for our animals. Membership is open to all ages and all who have an interest in herpetology are welcome to join. Fauna for the Future also offers rescue and adoption services which emphasize placing unwanted or neglected reptiles in new “forever homes�. You can help us with this endeavor by donating new or gently used items for the reptiles, lizards and amphibians which we may be required to house from time to time. Your involvement with Fauna for the Future will connect you with other like-minded individuals and provide you the opportunity to participate in organized local community events. You can share your knowledge and enthusiasm with others while at the same time help promote responsible ownership. We have already made a positive impact in the lives of people of all ages, from small children to grandparents, who would have otherwise never had an encounter with reptiles but for us.
43
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Kern County’s Premier Reptile Expo! The two-day event will take place on June 28-29, 2014 at the Kern County Fairgrounds and will feature reptiles, reptiles, and you guessed it ... more reptiles. There will also be food items for your pets such as crickets, mice and rats (both live and frozen), meal worms and pelleted food as well as a great variety of supplies, enclosures, tanks, bedding, toys and decorative items on display. We are in the process of scheduling events throughout the day and there will be a special reptile show by one of our local sponsors, Roaming Reptiles. We really need help with volunteers and organizations to sponsor the event or provide in-kind donations.

What you should have in your Emergency Kit One of the key elements for disaster preparedness is the Emergency Kit. The best container for assembling your Emergency Kit is a plastic storage box with a tight-fitting, waterproof lid. Here is a list of supplies that you will want to consider:
A copy of your Emergency Disaster Plan Road maps and street guides Animal first aid brochure or book Extra leashes, collars and harnesses Dog stakes and cables Muzzles Gloves: Heavy and disposable rubber gloves Can opener Utensils (spoon, etc.) Pet first aid kit and generic pet medicines Extra food for dogs and cats Bottled water Food and water dishes Small litter boxes Kitty litter Pet safe shampoo Flea spray Paper and cloth towels Blankets Plastic sheeting or tarp Pocket knife Scissors Flashlight 48
Portable radio Extra batteries Assorted plastic bags Fire extinguisher Disinfectant or bleach
Keep your Emergency Kit in a convenient location. Don’t put yourself in the position to be searching for it in the basement or attic when you need it. In addition to the animal care supplies listed above, you’ll want to have a written list of any personal items that you would want to have on hand. It also wouldn’t hurt to have a copy of the latest vaccination and licensing records tucked into your kit.

Did You Know? Contact Dermatitis from Mulch Although a dog may not be allergic to mulch, it might be allergic to the chemicals used to keep the mulch from decaying or to prevent insect infestation. These chemicals may cause contact dermatitis--irritation associated with allergies--which may in turn cause pusfilled bumps to form on the dog's paws and stomach.

Did You Know? Cedar and Pine Mulch Cedar mulch and pine mulch are nontoxic to dogs if used in their natural condition. If purchasing colored mulch, be certain that the dye is harmless to dogs or it will irritate the dog's skin or stomach if ingested. And some cats can develop skin allergies to cedar, losing their hair where the cedar touches their skin most frequently (kitties sunning themselves often lose the hair on their chest and tummies).

Did You Know? SPAYING AND NEUTERING Health Benefits for Your Pet Spaying your female and neutering your male pet will benefit them in a number of ways. Spayed females have fewer instances of breast cancer, and infections and cancer of the uterus is eliminated completely. Neutered males suffer far fewer prostate problems and are clear of any risk of developing testicular cancer. Social Benefits for Your Pet Spayed and neutered animals are generally less aggressive and have fewer tendencies to snap or bite. They also have far less tendency to wander to seek out a mate. This preoccupation could lead to them getting lost or being struck by a car if they have not been sterilized. Your female pet will no longer experience heat cycles and that will help keep unwanted and often aggressive males away.
