HOLISTIC & NATURAL HOW TO CHOOSE TOP QUALITY DOG AND CAT TREATS

by Cheryl Larson, Pet Journal Columnist clarson@petjournalmidwest.com We all love to give our pets treats, it is rewarding to you both, when you share tasty tidbits. Not to mention, pets being trained deserve to be paid for getting it “right” and for good manners. We expect to be paid for our work, why shouldn’t our pets enjoy a reward as well.

Teaching your dog (or cat) to come isn’t difficult when they know a bit of chicken breast awaits them!

The ingredients in the treats you choose determine if the treat is healthy and therefore good for your pet. You may think it’s a treat, so why should it be healthy? Simply, dogs and cats love the food carnivores should eat, so healthy and fantastic are the same thing! The important reason you want a healthy treat is mainly because of the toxic treats originating in China (chicken breast, sweet potato, duck breast) are causing vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and kidney failure.

Unfortunately these treats are being allowed back on the market mainly due to the fact that the exact problem with them cannot be identified. The

FDA stand on this matter is that treats are not necessary.

Many companies’ treats use chemicals to keep them soft, sugar and/or m.s.g. to make them addictive and other undesirable practices in manufacturing. Carnivores also do not need carbohydrates and grains.

Biscuit, cookie and cracker type treats are not necessary. Grain free biscuits use potato, sweet potato, carrot and other starches that are also unnecessary. A few of these treats a day can un-do grain-free diets and weight loss programs.

Dogs beg for ‘people’ food for a reason – they need real food and love it! So, let’s give them healthy real treats! Meat can be dehydrated, baked or boiled. Choose a variety of proteins, variety is half the fun!

An easy liver recipe would be: Simmer liver in boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain in toweling, and then bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

by Seth Minaker, Pet Journal Columist sminaker@petjournalmidwest.com Hello Readers, happy Spring!

Although it’s technically been Spring since March 20th, the temperatures are just starting to rise, the snow is melting, life is appearing, and it FEELS like Spring. As we head out of Winter, we are all glad to put its troubles behind us. However, Spring brings its own set of difficulties, especially if you’re a pet owner.

With that in mind, I searched and found some great products I think will help.

PetSafe Freedom Patio (Top Left): A lot of cats and dogs have the ability to go outside alone, with a fenced in or safe yard to roam around. It’s nice for the pets, but can be a bother for owners constantly letting the pet in and out. Pet doors are an option, but can be much work to install, semi-permanent, and many houses don’t have a spot to put one. PetSafe has a solution!

Freedom Patio is a pet door panel that installs directly into your patio door track, while still allowing the patio door to be used. No cutting holes or damaging walls! Keeps heat and cold out with its heavy duty construction and UltraSeal flap.

It’s also aesthetically pleasing with its aluminum frame and tempered glass. Installs in minutes to virtually any patio door. Starting at $184.95

When it gets dirty and loses its stickiness, simply wash with your regular laundry, line dry, and reuse over and over again! One glove only $9.99 or $14.99 for a Pair.

Spotless Paw (Top Right): Spring temps are here, melting the snow and revealing the earth - a welcome sight and an incentive to get outdoors.

However, that means dirty, muddy, and gross paws tracking their filth throughout our houses, in our cars, and on our clothes. Spotless Paw stops the problem at its source - your dog’s paw! Although there are many creative tools out there to clean dogs paws, sometimes the simplest ones work the best. Spotless Paw is a dual sided microfiber glove that allows you to easily clean your pet’s whole paw, even tricky spots like between the toes. Adsorbs 600% its weight and washer/dryer safe for $19.95.

FURminator Waterless deShedding (Bottom Left): From using this product myself on our dog, I can say without a doubt, it WORKS! FURminator is known for their high quality deShedding brushes, but a little known product is their deShedding spray. The spray deodorizes, conditions and reduces shedding drastically, without bathing. Formulated completely from natural ingredients, it’s designed to moisturize and strengthen the coat to reduce shedding. Using on our dog not only helps with his shedding, but conditions his coat to a soft, beautiful shine. He also smells much better! Not greasy at all, for dogs or cats. Made in the U.S.A. 8.5oz, $8.99.

much more each day. Many owners at this time of year have problems with their dog’s constant licking and chewing of their paws, some even to the point of causing themselves harm.

Usually the reason they do this is their paws are irritated from being worn down, wet, etc.

Licking is the dog’s solution but it just makes things worse. Paw+ is a specially formulated liquid that targets common irritations. Its deep cleansing abilities will provide relief and help moisturize to further protect the health of your dog’s paws. 22oz, $17.99.

SwiPets (Top Center): As most cat owners know, their cats shed in Spring... a lot. Cleaning and vacuuming can only do so much to remove it, as there is always hair stuck in hard to reach places. Some materials also attract hair to which it clings like magnets. SwiPets is a new product with a new way to Doggles Insect Shield (Bottom clean up hair!

ZOO NEWS SPRING AND WILDLIFE REHAB

by Lori Bankson, Pet Journal Contributor Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary Here in Animal Care at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, I typically start these articles with “the snow is finally leaving after a long winter.”

Well, talk about a long winter — this has been crazy! A typical winter for Animal Care includes maintaining cages, cleaning empty rooms, and gathering supplies for the spring. So far for 2014, we’ve admitted over 150 animals, most due to weather related situations— thin Goldeneye and Merganser Ducks not able to find open water to get fish, frostbitten pelicans and opossums not built for the extreme cold, owls hit by cars while hunting for food, and young animals having a hard time trying to hunt or find food due to the deep snow cover.

These critters are doing well but are waiting to get back outside, which means the Animal Care staff cannot wait for warmer temps and Spring to get these critters back to the wild where they belong!

What can you do to help Wildlife Rehab at WLS and the soon to arrive baby animals in Spring?

• Volunteer to help in Animal Care or with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Program at WLS! Our staff and volunteers have been great pitching in and helping out, but we can always use a few hands

to help tube thin ducks, fold laundry, open Critter Counter, enter data, or clean cages.

Baby birds sometimes do fall out of the nest before it is time to learn to fly. If the nest is intact in the tree or bush with other youngsters and the baby does not look injured, please try to put that baby bird back into the nest for Mom to care for! Birds do not have a sense of smell, so don’t worry about touching the youngster.

If an eastern cottontail rabbit nest is discovered but you are not sure if Mom is returning to the nest, place pieces of yarn in a tic-tac-toe position and leave the nest either overnight or for 12 hours.

Upon returning, if Mom has been there, the yarn will be disturbed.

You can also sprinkle flour around the nest to look for footprints!

Young rabbits stay in the nest until 13 days old, so if you can avoid a nest, Mom cares for the youngsters best — just make sure if you fence it off, Mom can still have access to her young ones.

A rabbit on its own is the size of a woman’s fist with bright eyes and thick fur —

they care for themselves even though they seem small!

Fawns that are found in tall grass, quietly lying down are waiting for Mom to return --- she grazes away from the youngster so predators do not find the fawn. If a fawn is walking around, bleating or calling, looks weak or is cold, then the fawn most likely needs help from a wildlife rehabilitator like WLS. If you find a baby animal, consult the great handout in the Honker to try to get the baby bird or mammal back with its Mom, or to a Wildlife Rehabilitator, including WLS, as soon as possible.

If any native Wisconsin wildlife seems ill or injured, call us at WLS for advice to get that animal the help it needs as soon as possible.

If you are outside the Green Bay area, we can help you find a rehabber that is closer to you.

With this busy, busy winter, supplies like smelt, bleach, baby food, dishsoap, laundry detergent, and duck grower have been used up in a few weeks when it should have

lasted for months. Consider helping this donation and volunteer based program with a donation or supplies or funds to help us purchase necessary supplies to help every animal that comes through the doors of WLS to get back into the wild.

As always, WLS truly appreciate all your support! Spring will be here soon and we hope to see you all at WLS enjoying nature, wildlife, and all the Wisconsin outdoors has to offer. Thanks for helping us feed our ducks and geese and for bringing in to WLS 5,192 orphaned, ill, and injured wildlife to become Wild Again in 2013!

ASK SCRAPPY!

by Scrappy, Pet Journal Columnist and Mascot askcrappy@petjournalmidwest.com Hi, Hi, Hi!! It’s April and it looks like spring is finally here and that deserves a happy double bark from me, “Bark Bark” (I really shouldn’t bark aloud since it makes my family think all those monsters in the basement have finally decided to come up for dinner). Though this is a cautious bark frenzy since I’ll never be completely sure the frozen menace has completely disappeared until every last little flake has finally melted. I mean, it did snow little over a week ago. Though, I’ve gotta see the positive and that is, it’s not snowing now. The birds are singing, the bunnies are singing, even the cats are singing (not as soothing to the ear, but, come on, they’re cats!) and all is right with the world.

The yard has been surprisingly bunny free the last couple of weeks.

I’m assuming this is due to the bunnies working overtime preparing for the Easter festivities. You know, weaving baskets, painting eggs, planning delivery schedules, and so on. I recently received a press release from the bunnies stating their rules and regulations regarding Easter and what our parents need to do to keep us safe during this holiday. Easter is pretty much like any other holiday when it comes to precautions. Keep decorations out of our reach. This is especially true of small, dangly decorations which will drive kitties absolutely

nuts. What’s up with that? I find a something interesting and I’ll bat it with a paw a few times and forget about it. Not so with cats. They see something they want; it will become their mission in life to get their little paws on it. No amount of yelling or squirting them with a water bottle (El Gato Diablo, you know who I’m talking about! I’ve heard tales of your terror) will dissuade them from their goal. In this situation, avoid anything small enough to fit in kitty’s mouth. Unless you have a pet tiger, this will still give you plenty of decorating options. As for food, your choices are very simple, no human treats. I know some people disagree with this, but it’s better safe than sorry. Though, there is one Easter staple that is perfectly safe for both kitties and puppies and those are hard boiled eggs.

BEoiling the eggs removes any concerns regarding salmonella poising or vitamin absorption issues found with raw eggs. So, if you want to give your little buddy a nice Easter treat, set aside a couple of undyed eggs to be served during your Easter dinner. Just make sure the eggs are completely cooled and chopped up. You can even fine grind up the shells to sprinkle over their food for a great source of calcium and protein. Though, like all treats, moderation is the key and shouldn’t be fed in lieu of their regular food. If you have any concerns, it’s always best

PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT AREA RESCUES AND SHELTERS

Hi! My name is Baby and I am an adorable Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix in need of a forever home.

I am a sweet girl who is well mannered and loves life.

I am a quiet girl who is not a barker and would do well in a household that is able to give me rules and boundaries as well as plenty of love. I do have an independent side and love settling down with a good toy as well as a good snuggle with a person. I am only 4 years old, spayed, housetrained, current on my vaccinations, microchipped, and very sweet! I could be all yours for a low adoption fee of $180. I hope to meet you soon! Oconto Area Humane Society, www.ocontoareahumane.org.

Scooter is a 22 year old diva who adores to be doted over!

She has had a very leisurely type of life... has never been saddle trained... to our knowledge... however she is so far very accepting of a saddle and is well started. She was a pasture ornament... (a very beautiful one at that!) her whole life with the same owner. The owners moved cross country and could not take her with them. She is sound, healthy and moves like a horse half her age!!

She stands about 14.1 hh and is a very lovely and elegant Polish Arab. Scooter spent all her years with a gelding who recently passed... so she is very used to and desires to be with at least one other horse. Applications can be downloaded off our website www.rescuehorses.org.

Please email any questions to rescue. horses@yahoo.com.

Hi, I’m Smokey!

I’m a super relaxed girl and love rolling over to get pet, but first I need a person who is willing to love me and pet me and take me home. I’ve never had a forever home that I can call my own, so I can’t wait to have a family. I also love open laps and a cozy napping spot. I love all people, even some cats and dogs, and I can’t wait to meet the person who has room in their home, and their heart, for a gentle girl like me. Maybe that person is you? www.giveshelter.org

Aren’t I just the most handsome boy you’ve ever met?

I am such a good boy but I do need time to get used to a new home. Once I feel comfortable, I just want to be with you. I am looking for a special family to care for and love me. I would prefer a home with children over the age of 10. Come in today and ask for me - Richard! Washington Co. Humane Society, www.washingtoncountyhumane.org.

Godiva is a sweet, beautiful, shiny black bunny. When Godiva arrived we noticed her eye looked quite strange. Our vet said it is a side effect of a bunny disease that she got from her mom. She is not actively sick but it may affect her immune system later down the line. Also she needs to live alone due to the possibility of spreading it to another bunny.

Godiva does need eye drops everyday but she is a very easy patient. Godiva loves her free range play-times and is doing incredibly well with her litter box.

Godiva’s foster home is socializing her with kids and other animals and she is doing great with everyone! Please contact K&R Small Animal Sanctuary @ kr_ small_animal_sanctuary@yahoo.com

AVIAN CORNER APRIL STATEWIDE BIRDING REPORT from WI DNR, reprinted with permission Spring bird migration finally hit Wisconsin in earnest last week, especially in the southern half of the state. Early-season short distance migrants were well-represented there, including eastern phoebe, tree swallow, yellow-bellied sapsucker, fox sparrow, hermit thrush, winter wren, purple finch, golden-crowned kinglet, and other songbirds. Waterfowl have really moved in as well, including the full diversity of dabbling ducks and plenty of divers on larger water bodies. Large numbers of greater white-fronted geese were found this week in flooded fields, along with a smattering of snow and Ross’s geese among flocks of Canadas. Tundra swans made their initial push as well, particularly across the eastern tier from Green Bay southward, while sightings of trumpeter swans continue to increase statewide.

Shorebirds in the south included the expected killdeer, greater and lesser yellowlegs, pectoral sandpiper, Wilson’s snipe and American woodcock.

Amazingly, seven Baird’s sandpipers were found at three different locations on April 2, marking the earliest known state

records of this Great Plains migrant by twelve days! Another plains species - the Franklin’s gull - was seen in several southern Wisconsin locations as well. Other arrivals in the south included common loons and rusty blackbirds, the latter a sharply declining boreal nesting species. To help battle those declines, sightings of rusty blackbirds should be reported to the 2014 Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz.

Spring has been much slower to come to the north, where deep ice and snow cover persists. American robin, red-winged blackbird, common grackle, sandhill crane, eastern meadowlark, dark-eyed junco, northern flicker, great blue heron and a few species of ducks have been found all the way north to Lake Superior, but in general numbers of most of these species have been very low. Golden eagle migration has peaked while nearly 300 bald eagles were tallied during migration on Sunday in northern Bayfield County.

The first redtailed and sharp-shinned hawks, American kestrels, and peregrine falcons have also returned to the north. Finally, some nesting activity

is well underway as many great horned owls already have nestlings, some perhaps even near fledging.

Bald eagles are on eggs, peregrines are staking out nest sites and the first Eastern bluebird nests have been found by volunteer monitors. The next two months are prime time for birdwatching as each successive warm front brings a new wave of migrants into the state. Get out and enjoy, being sure to report your sightings to ebird.org/wi/.

LOCAL NEWS Pet Amnesty Day to Raise Awareness of Pet Release as a Pathway for Invasive Species Press Release Submitted by East Central Regional Planning Commission.

3/24/2014 - The idea of releasing a pet you can no longer care for into the wild is often romanticized. The newly released pet is free from the confines of the artificial environment it used to inhabit and is now able to roam the habitats as nature intended. This optimistic view of pet release often leads owners to believe that releasing a pet into the wild is the best and most convenient option for their pet.

REPTILE CORNER GREEN IGUANAS

by Dr. Michael Wenninger, Pet Journal Contributor Green iguanas are found from Southern Mexico, through Central America, and to the southern aspect of Brazil. There are introduced populations present in southern Florida and parts of Texas as well.

They are primarily found in tropical regions but can survive in more semi-arid climates as long as food supplies are present. Iguanas are arboreal and prefer a temperature gradient of 75-95 degrees. Male green iguanas can reach sizes of 6’ in length and can weight 1518 pounds. Female iguanas are slightly smaller but can still reach relatively large sizes. As their name suggests, they are generally green although different color mutations (albino, axanthic/blue, red) exist and they can change color to coincide with habitat, temperature, or mood. Iguanas are herbivorous and generally eat plants, flowers, vegetables, and fruits. They will occasionally eat other small animals but these are not thought to represent part of a normal diet.

large size and specialized needs.

The minimum size enclosure for an adult iguana would be 6’ long by 2’ deep by 6’ tall. They do well with a temperature gradient from 7595 degrees. A basking area that is even warmer may be beneficial.

They can be fed a diet of mixed dark greens and vegetables with a small percentage (~5%) of fruits.

Captive diets generally require supplementation with a multivitamin (weekly) and calcium (daily to every other day). They require full spectrum lighting for proper vitamin D metabolism and subsequent calcium utilization. Iguanas should have water available at all times.

Being arboreal, cage furnishings should allow climbing and basking.

With the different color mutations becoming more readily available, iguana popularity is increasing.

Prospective owners must be sure they can provide a proper environment for the 13-15 year lifespan that they can achieve.

Make Mine Chocolate

by Kristin Ahrens, Pet Journal Contributor As Easter quickly approaches, we encourage everyone to think twice before impulsively buying a bunny as a gift for a child in their lives. As we have come to expect, a couple months after Easter most shelters will be flooded with unwanted bunnies.

For some, a bunny seems like a fun gift to add to an Easter basket. The fact is every pet should be a well planned out family decision.

into your home this holiday season, we encourage you to… Adopt Don’t Shop.

There are so many unwanted, wonderful rabbits in shelters all across the country. Please contact one near you to find your next new friend. Most shelters in our area will take care of the spay/neuter surgery before adoption. They will all have had a heath check up. Many of the rabbits will be socialized and litter trained. The staff may even be able to tell you about their personalities as well as how they do with other household pets. Although the baby bunnies available at pet stores are super cute, they do not make great pets for young children.

They have unpredictable, nervous habits and can spook easily. Babies are also messier while they figure out the litter training process.

Like all babies, they love to put things into their mouths and may chew on everything in their path. Adult rabbits are still adorable and are cleaner and more predictable with stable temperaments.

Here are a few rabbit facts to keep in mind before bringing a new bundle into your home this Easter season. Rabbits can live anywhere from 8 to 12 years. They are not low maintenance pets! They require as much work as dogs and cats. They may not need a walk but they still will expect daily social interaction, feeding, and cage cleaning. Rabbits are not always in the mood to cuddle and do not always want to be held. Baby and most dwarf rabbits are quite active and squirmy. If they get frightened, they could scratch you or injure themselves trying to get to safety.

Emergency care from a qualified exotic veterinarian can be costly.

To be great pets and eliminate the • Cost of a real bunny, cage, chance of unwanted babies, rabbits supplies, spay/neuter….$500+ should be spayed and neutered • Cost of a stuffed bunny…$15 which may cost over $100-$200. • Cost of a chocolate bunny…$5 If you do decide to bring a bunny

This Easter we ask everyone to think twice to be sure a bunny is the pet that will work for their family.

If not buy a stuffed bunny or a chocolate bunny instead!

GROOMING YOUR PET

by Rita Day, Pet Journal Columnist rday@petjournalmidwest.com Well it’s getting to be that dreadful time of year for those pesky fleas if you want to keep your babies flea free this year please start treating them now, first with flea soap that you can buy yourself and or take them to your local groomer for a flea bath and then start a preventive treatment (like Frontline or Advantix). Now I know what you’re thinking that stuff is expensive, but how it works, it gets into your pets blood stream and it repels the fleas and ticks before they can infest on your pet which in turn keeps those parasites out of your home. If not treated before flea season starts your home can be in danger of an infestation and then it will not be cheap to get rid of them little buggers (No pun intended).

So remember start preventing the flea problem now and you won’t have any regrets later.
