It’s November, and winter has arrived in full force already this year. Everyone is doing all they can to stay warm. And our news stations run constant stories about making sure homeless Utah residents stay warm.

I have a question for you, what about Utah’s homeless shelter pets, they are cold too?

I bet you have never thought about keeping Utah's homeless pet population warm. Shelters can get very cold this time of year, and these pets could really use your help to stay warm. Consider making some donations to your local shelter: Old Towels and blankets – Those shelter floors can get very cold; your old towels and blankets can be just what a homeless pet needs to stay warm.

Unused pet beds – If you’re like me, you have 3 or 4 of these laying around. Don’t throw them out, wash them up and donate them to your local shelter.

Food – When it is cold outside, more animals call the shelter home, meaning the shelter needs more food to meet demand. Donate unopened bagged and canned pet food. Fun fact, many shelters love donations of xylitol free Peanut Butter to use as a treat for their animals.

Laundry detergent – Shelters need to keep those blankets and beds clean, and laundry detergent is expensive, this is a great way to help.

Cash donations – of course, the shelters can use monetary donations to take care of homeless pets and pay operational costs.

This winter don’t forget about the homeless pets in your local shelter. Donate what you can to the shelter or, maybe you could just adopt a new friend for your family this Holiday season.

Ticks Ticks are also relatively uncommon in Salt Lake City. Ticks are commonly seen in the spring and fall in the foothills. Because ticks are known to transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, so it is best to prevent ticks. Ticks are visible to the eye and are mostly seen in folds of the body, in the ears, around the neck, and between the toes.

By Dr. Jessica Zelnick University Veterinary Hospital & Diagnostic Center There aren’t many things in life that can make your skin crawl other than parasites. Here is a brief rundown on the most common external parasites that your dog or cat may have for you to be aware of.

Fleas Luckily, here in Salt Lake City, fleas are uncommon. Fleas do not like our dry, arid environment. This being said, I have seen fleas on pets after a wet springtime, coming in contact with another animal who has fleas, and traveling to flea endemic areas. My own dog even had a flea on him after a spring trip to St. George. Fleas are very transmissible from pet to pet.

Fleas are black and visible to the eye, measuring ~ 2-3 mm in size. They are commonly seen on a dog’s back near the tail, or on their belly where they have less hair. Fleas can be treated with medicated baths, topical or oral medication.

Removal of ticks is important to prevent transmission of infectious disease to your pet. Ticks can be removed by using tweezers and gently plucking them from your pet’s skin, being careful to avoid crushing it.

Consult with your veterinarian about testing for tick-borne diseases if your pet has a history of ticks.

Lice Lice are very common in Salt Lake City and very contagious. Lice are species-specific, meaning dog lice can only be transmitted to other dogs.

People cannot give their lice to their dog and vice versa. Lice make a pet very itchy. Dogs that frequent daycare, dog parks or groomers are at a high risk of contracting lice. They can usually be seen on the face around the eyes and ear. They are small ~ 2-3 mm and can be white or brown in color.

Treatment involves medicated bath and topical or oral treatment with common flea and tick preventatives.

Treatment involves a thorough ear cleaning and medication.

Mites Demodectic Mange Mites are mites that are not highly contagious and are usually passed on from a mother to her puppies. This means that these mites are typically found in dogs less than six months old. Demodectic mites are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These mites can cause hair loss, redness around the mouth and eyes, and patches of scaly skin.

Pets with Demodex are not itchy. A diagnosis of Demodex Mange by a veterinarian is determined by a skin scraping and viewing it under a microscope.

Sarcoptic mange mites can affect all animals at any time of the year.

They are highly contagious, even to people, and can be transmitted through close contact with an infected pet or its bedding. Signs of sarcoptic mange include intense itching, hair loss, scabs, or a skin rash. These mites are too small to be visualized without a skin scraping by a veterinarian and viewing it under a microscope.

Cheyletiella is a mite that causes white dander from flaky skin and is very contagious by direct contact. These mites are most common in young dogs and cats. They are tiny in size, so a microscope is necessary for accurate identification.

Being able to recognize the signs and symptoms of external parasites is important to seek the correct treatment recommended by your veterinarian.

Prompt treatment will decrease your pet’s discomfort, prevent disease transmission, prevent spread to other animals or people, as well as preserve the cleanliness of your household. Talking to your veterinarian about signs and symptoms you have noticed will ensure the most effective and safe treatment for your pet.

Ear mites Ear mites are common in outdoor cats and kittens. They are very contagious and very itchy. Your pet may contract ear mites by coming in close contact with an infected pet or its bedding. Signs that your pet may have ear mites include excessive scratching at the ears or head shaking. A brown or black discharge coming from the ear may be seen. Ear mites are brown and very small, so they can only be diagnosed by examining under a microscope.

ASK AN ANIMAL LAWYER

Neglected animal in my neighborhood

I know an Ohio woman who called to get help for a neighbor’s dog who was kept tied up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without any human interaction. When she called animal control, she was told that if the animal had food, water, and shelter — even if it was just a plastic crate — there was nothing the agency could do. Undeterred, the woman networked with local and national animal protection groups, met with her city legislators, and ultimately successfully lobbied the city to enact meaningful restrictions on tethering.

What should I do?

Clearly, changing the law requires a bit more work than making a phone call, but it’s worth it. It might seem daunting, but you’re likely to find significant support from the larger community. Few people want to see an animal suffer, they just need someone to lead the way. You could be that person. Find tips on how to pass a local law at aldf.org/advocacy. Thank you for speaking up for animals in need.

I

By Elizabeth Holtz - Animal Legal Defense Fund t’s heartbreaking to witness an animal in pain. You might feel powerless, but there are steps you can take to protect her. First of all, if the animal’s life is in immediate danger, call the police or 911 right away. If the animal’s life is not in danger, but you suspect neglect, consider these suggestions.

Something similar happened in Baltimore last year after an elderly dog named Oscar died in 20-degree weather. Neighbors had told authorities that the dog was being neglected for months, but nothing was done. After Oscar’s death, public outrage prompted the Baltimore County Council to pass Oscar’s Law. The new law requires companion animals be brought inside within 30 minutes when it’s below 32 degrees, above 90 degrees, or if the National Weather Service declares an emergency.

Reach out and try to have a conversation with the animal’s guardian.

For whatever reason, perhaps the person doesn’t recognize that the animal doesn’t have adequate shelter or food. You could offer assistance by building a better shelter or dropping off some dog food. Find out if the person is open to placing the animal with another family better able to care for her.

Sometimes people end up with unwanted animals — perhaps their child left for college or they inherited a dog from a deceased relative — and end up treating them more like a plant that needs to be watered occasionally rather than a living being that needs love just as much as food. In these situations, the person might be very grateful for your assistance.

I recognize that this is a tough conversation to have and may not ultimately be productive. In that case, or if you suspect the animal is suffering from abuse as well as neglect, alert law enforcement and your local humane society. You should be prepared with documentation to back up your report. Keep a detailed journal with dates, locations, and specific incidents. Providing additional photographic and video evidence is also helpful.

If you’re not getting anywhere with local authorities, consider going public, especially if the situation involves a large number of animals — for example, you suspect the person is a backyard breeder. Sometimes drawing attention to a situation through social media or traditional media will make an agency reconsider investigating. Working with a local animal rescue group is also a great idea — both to bring more attention to the animal’s plight and to brainstorm other ways of helping her.

In some cases, you may have to fight to change your city’s laws. I’ve met more than a few people who were inspired by an animal in their neighborhood to lobby their local legislators. The reality is that it’s still legal in some parts of the country to keep an animal chained up 24 hours a day or not provide her a shelter that will keep her warm in the winter.

TOP K9 Training Club

Tracking, Obedience and Protection

By Sarah Tyler If you’re a dog owner, you’ve probably had days where you felt like your dog is the smartest dog on the planet… and then you’ve probably had days where you watched your dog chase her tail for twenty minutes. As fur parents, we love our pups, but understanding their full potential may be a bit of a reach for most of us. This isn’t the case for a local, specialized trainer, Jerry Barth.

Jerry Barth is the Director of a local training club called TOP K9, which is an acronym for Tracking Obedience Protection. TOP K9 focuses on training surrounding, you guessed it, tracking, obedience, and protection.

Barth has a colorful background spanning back forty-two years ago. He started training with his first dog, a Pit Bull named Buster. He went to basic obedience training classes and had no idea what he was doing, but he got a feel for it and really enjoyed it. Later, while looking into stimulating activities to pursue with his German Shepard, Rufus, he was introduced to the sport of Schutzhund. Schutzhund was founded in Germany in the early 1900s as a program to test German Shepherds against breed standards for intelligence and utility.

Over time, it has progressed into a sport including all breeds of dogs. The program is extremely difficult, and few dogs are up to the standards. The areas of focus cover mental stability, trainability, endurance, structural efficiencies, tracking, and scent abilities, willingness to work and courage.

Jerry Barth

Schutzhund training is standardized around the world, so no matter where Jerry visited for competitions or training, he found instant camaraderie. His competitions took him to Chile, Argentina, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Hungary, and across the U.S. It’s even how he met his wife. He was living, training and competing in Belgium when a woman trainer for another dog sport came into his club to pick up uniforms for the World Championship. She had eighteen Malinois at the time. Coincidentally Jerry also had a Malinois, and this gave them even more in common. Now this power couple in the dog sport community lives here in Utah.

Training a dog for Schutzhund takes a long time, as it is quite demanding. “Each dog is different. Malinois mature pretty fast and can be ready to go at 15 months. Rottweilers can take 3 years. Schutzhund requires the dog to look super happy. The ears need to be up and the tail wagging, so it's important not to push the dog too fast. With a puppy I try to teach them everything asap. The more they know, the more they can know, but it's important to be able to read the dog and change course when they aren't ready for a certain exercise.”

Cynthia and Jerry Barth 12 | PETS IN THE CITY

Jerry not only trains dogs for Schutzhund, but he also focuses on personal dog training courses in basic and advanced obedience, tracking, and personal protection. If you’re looking for someone to help take your pup to the next level in their training, Jerry is your guy. Check out his training club at topk9utah. com PETSINTHECITYMAGAZINE.COM

I’ve Come A Long Way! Floki’s New Job

the trainer, is really helping my Mom show me how to act right, although, I am a Terrier, so I don’t always listen the best yet. In my first class, I learned how to sit, stand, down, and how to walk on a leash.

By: Debbie Townsend Hello there, let me introduce myself, I’m Floki. I am a welsh terrier, who has recently been adopted as the new mascot of The Animal Park Marketplace.

I’ve had quite an adventurous journey for my first 3 months.

I was born in Gainesville, Florida, July 19, 2019, to the breeders Kathryn & Ti, under the Kennel Kalein T’s. Their love of the Welsh Terrier breed is quite apparent, with their involvement in the AKC welshterrier.org group, with their grooming and showing their own Welsh Terrier, Layla, but mainly the time and attention they gave me during my first 8 weeks of life. I had people young and old come and spend time with me and calling me by my name, Floki, so when my new owners JJ & Debbie came to pick me up, I already knew the name they had chosen for me.

After I left with my new parents, I enjoyed watching the sunrise with new owners JJ & Debbie, at Jax’s Beach. I loved running on the beach, on my leash, and dipping my paws into the ocean. It was so much fun, and it wore me out so much I actually slept all night, but I think I am a water dog for sure!

After spending 2 days in Florida, on the beach, and getting loves from everyone who would pass me by, it was time to fly home to Utah. My new owners had an abundance of treats/chews and toys to keep me occupied on the flight home. The Jacksonville, FL airport takes excellent care of all our puppies, as we pass through its doors. Before getting on the plane, we went to the pet station where I was able to stretch my paws and pee. Once on the plane I slid under the seat in front of new owners and fell deep asleep. I don’t think anyone else on the plane knew I was on board; I was quiet as a mouse if I do say myself.

Since I have arrived home in Utah, I have had a visit to Animal Care Veterinary Hospital in Roy, Utah. I meet a very nice man named Dr. Wynn Palmer, who, according to my new parents is Veterinarian. Dr. Palmer gave me a clean bill of health and even some canned cheese, but don’t tell my parents.

He said he was going to give me a shot with a needle, but I didn’t even feel it at all, so I am not sure if he actually did. I have also started my puppy training class at The Animal Park Lodging in Ogden. Shelly, 14 | PETS IN THE CITY

JJ Townsend Last Sunday, my parents and my older brother Ozbourne were taking me to the Brickyard Dog Park to stretch my paws, but they needed some fuel to keep up with me, so the stopped by Our Kitchen Café in North Salt Lake. It is a super busy place, probably because the service is wonderful, and the food is delicious, so says my parents!! Check them out next time your craving breakfast!

Since arriving at my new home, I’m a very busy puppy. Typically, Monday thru Friday, I go to work with my Dad, J.J., at The Animal Park Marketplace in Bountiful.

So, stop by and see me and use the coupon code below to pick up some treats/toys. If you need any suggestions, I can lead you to my favorites.

Celebrity Animal Advocate Michelle Harris

By April Northstrom Alexandra Paul, Patricia DeLeon, Michelle Harris Alive & Well TV Host Michelle Harris has always loved helping people and animals. Her nationally syndicated television series, Alive & Well, helps people look and feel their best! As an advocate for animals, Michelle is also the founder and member of Animal Angels. This nonprofit organization was formed along with Alexandra Paul, most notably known from the television show Baywatch, singer Taylor Hasselhoff¸ and former Miss Panama, Patricia DeLeon. Together they help educate, rescue and be advocates for animals.

Pets in The City spoke with Michelle about her advocacy for animals and her commitment to living a plant-based lifestyle.

Hazelnut Cranberry Roast en Croute by Field Roast, and Worthington Turkey Roast.

Question: What other dishes do you serve for the holidays?

MH: “A favorite dish of mine is roasted green beans with roasted onion and garlic in balsamic vinegar. I also have traditional favorites such as sweet potatoes baked with brown sugar and of course, dairy-free pumpkin pie!”

Question: Can you tell our readers more about your advocacy group, Animal Angels?

Question: “Tell us about your television series, Alive & Well” MH: “I feel so fortunate to be able to host and be one of the producers of such an amazing show! We get to help people feel better and look better—everyone deserves that in their life. We talk about beauty, nutrition, wellness, healthy, eating well, and more. We also try and keep it really fun for our viewers!”

Question: Can you tell our readers about your commitment to a plantbased diet and lifestyle?

MH: “Yes. I went vegetarian at 14, and I am completely plant-based now.

It’s been so beneficial for my health, weight management and how I feel. It’s been amazing and one of the best choices I have made in my life. It keeps me healthy and helps our planet and animals at the same time!”

Question: Thanksgiving is around the corner. What do you recommend for people who may want to have a plant-based dinner or share plant-based dishes?

MH: “It’s become so much easier to have a plant-based Thanksgiving.

Instead of a turkey, try one of the amazing turkey substitutes! They are so delicious and easy to prepare. Just heat and serve. One of my favorites is Gardein Holiday Roast, which comes complete with dressing in the center.

Other options include Trader Joe’s Turkeyless Stuffed Roast, 16 | PETS IN THE CITY

Michelle Harris, Kerri Kasem, Alexandra Paul PETSINTHECITYMAGAZINE.COM

MH: “Animal Angels was formed because [we] wanted to have a larger platform to get out the message regarding animal issues. There is strength in numbers, so it just made sense we would come together and work as a group. We do things together, such as adoption events, education, rescue, fundraising, and more! We also still have the work we do as individuals. For example, I have done a great deal of wildlife rescue and have house rabbits, so I end up doing a lot of rescue of dumped rabbits. They can be very difficult to catch!

Taylor does a great deal of work in adoption. Alexandra was named “Vegan of the Year” by the nonprofit Last Chance for Animals, and Patricia has done anti-bullfighting campaigns for PETA.” Michelle and her Animal Angels team have been working tirelessly to advocate for animals throughout California and beyond. They recently started their own “Animal Angels” podcast on Pet Life Radio in order to share pet stories, information about animal adoption, and to educate the public about animal advocacy efforts. Future plans call for larger-scale public service announcements.

Michelle notes, “California is our home and is also the first state to make it illegal to sell fur! It’s very exciting! We have joined forces with Animal Defenders International (ADI) and are working on an event to promote furfree fashion, but it’s still in the early stages.”

Green beans are a wonderfully versatile vegetable. French green beans are best in this recipe if you can find them. Otherwise, you can use regular green beans, but they may take a bit longer to cook.

1 package French green beans 5 cloves garlic ½ of a sweet onion cut into strips Balsamic vinegar to taste 2 TBS olive oil Pinch of sea salt Heat oven to 400 degrees. Clean green beans and rinse. Place in a bowl. Toss with 1 TBS olive oil, until the beans are evenly coated. Use remaining 1 TBS of olive oil to coat the baking pan. Cut the garlic cloves in half and place in bowl. Slice onion into strips and add to the bowl. Toss so all the ingredients are covered with olive oil. Add a pinch of sea salt. Place on pan and roast in oven for 15 to 20 minutes until beans begin to soften. Remove from oven and toss with 2 TBS balsamic vinegar. Serve.

Robin's Rescue Story

By Cynthia Alex

Hi I’m Robin, have you ever seen a “wild” rabbit that doesn’t really look like a wild rabbit? When I tell people I have pet rabbits, many times, they proceed to tell me about abandoned rabbits living in their neighborhood, mountain canyons, or local parks. Two of my adopted rabbits experienced this fate prior to coming to live with me.

First is Harley, an English Angora with extremely long, soft fur. You would never have known that when I first met him. He had been living in a park for weeks prior to being caught by a volunteer from a local rescue.

He was extremely thin and matted. Six months later, he is neutered, living indoors, and being fed a healthy diet. He is a giant puffball with ears as beautiful as angel wings. To make life even better for Harley, he has a “bunny bud” named Nahla, who was adopted from a local shelter.

Brownie

Brownie is another one of my rabbits who had been abandoned. I was told he was in my neighborhood three months prior to me noticing him.

I decided to try and catch him and thought it would take multiple times to entice him to come to me. Turns out, he was ready to be rescued and was in my arms in less than 30 seconds! His fur was damaged from poor nutrition and the outdoor elements and had an eye infection. In less than 2 months, he is healthy, neutered, litterbox trained, and his new fur is almost grown in. To add to Brownie’s luck, he shares a room with his potential buddy Sugar, an adopted Holland lop.

Harley and Brownie each had a sibling living in the wild with them but couldn’t be rescued. Sadly, since they are also domestic rabbits, they don’t have the instincts to survive in the wild and likely won’t survive long.

Rabbits like Brownie and Harley remind me daily they are sweet, unique creatures that require special care and understanding. To avoid stories like theirs, make sure rabbits are the right pet for you, and remember to adopt, don’t shop.

Cynthia Alex has been a volunteer for several Utah pet volunteer organizations for the last 23 years as an advocate for ending pet overpopulation. During that time she developed a passion for Rabbits, adopting her first pair 22 years ago. Having Rabbits as pets for all these years has taught Cynthia a lot about the care of Rabbits, which she now loves sharing with the Readers of Pets in the City. Cynthia is married with two grown children and would be an empty nester, except for their precious house rabbits, Cooper and Lily.

Q

My kids are very scared of dogs. I want to surprise them with a puppy to help them overcome their fears. –Alfonzo

A

. Although puppies are cute, you want to handle this situation with caution for the benefit of both the puppy and your kids.

Open communication. Instead of surprising your kids with a puppy, I would suggest talking to them about getting a puppy and how a puppy acts (jumping, chewing, etc.). Your children may not want a puppy in their lives.

Open communication is best for all parties involved.

Puppy behavior. All puppies chew, jump up on people, and can be crazy. They will bark, growl, nip, and scratch. These are things to think about before bringing home a puppy, as these normal puppy behaviors can scare your kids. Puppies also don’t come housebroken, and they don’t know how to behave until taught to do so. Puppies need a lot of time and training.

Adopting an Adult. Instead of adopting a puppy, you could consider adopting an adult dog. Make sure to find one that is calm and trained and take your kids to see the dog before adopting them. You can find a dog at your local animal shelter, animal rescue, classified ads or a breeder.

Calm Dogs. Getting your kids around calm, social dogs could help them learn to gain confidence in dogs. Never force the kids to interact with the dog. You can find calm dogs from family members, friends, and neighbors. You can also consider contacting a dog therapy group and ask for their assistance as their dogs should be calm and behaved.

Fostering. When your kids have gained their confidence with dogs, you could consider fostering a puppy or dog through an animal rescue.

This will let you know if the kids are ready to live with a dog without the commitment of ownership. Your family will take care of the dog until a permanent home can be found. If you fall in love with the foster dog, you have first choice to adopt it. If not, you aren’t out anything as the dog will find a home through the rescue group. Talk to the rescue group about how you are looking for a calmer dog and that you are working on your kids' fear of dogs. This way, they can match you up with the correct personality for your family.

SUGAR

Male, 1 year old, Border Collie Mix

At this point he would need a patient, experienced home who could help socialize him. Habee has a heart of gold and learns quickly, but really needs a home who can commit to him. Habee is now 8 years old and is guessed to be mostly Siberian Husky. www.Arcticrescue.com
