Pets In The City Magazine

Last year’s strut was so much fun… let’s do it again!

June 2013

SaLt LaKe CIty, SatuRday, SeptembeR 21, 2013

And after all of the work is done, we’ll celebrate in another Strut Your Mutt festival in your honor.

There will be more food, games, activities, entertainment, and of course, the community dog walk.

Liberty park 600 e 900 S, SaLt Lak e city, ut 84105 Last year, thousands raised funds during Strut Your Mutt to help bring about a time of No More Homeless Pets®. The result? Almost $1.3 million went to help save the lives of dogs and cats in our nation’s shelters (Not just mutts — feline friends benefited, too) Inspired by your success, we’ve made the goal even bigger this year — $1.5 million! That’s why we need to start recruiting now. Homeless pets need you to strut for local groups as well as for Best Friends. Because the more funds raised, the more pets will be saved not just in your community, but around the country.

One community, one strut at a time, brings us closer to No More Homeless Pets®.

Surf’s Up Dog! Heidi Gertsch

Pack your bags! Summer

is here, and most of us and our pets are itching for a vacation.

EXPERT ADVICE

HEARTWORM DISEASE

Lynn A. McCarron, DVM, Diplomate ABVP

HEARTWORM DISEASE IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL DISEASE IN DOGS. Adult heartworms live in the heart and pulmonary arteries of infected animals and produce millions of young (microfilaria) that live in the bloodstream. The worms can be approximately the size of a piece of spaghetti. Dogs may be infected with as few as three or four worms, or as many as 300. Heartworms are not contagious until they pass to another animal through a mosquito bite.

The female mosquito bites the heartworm-infected dog and ingests the microfilariae during a blood meal. The infected mosquito then bites another dog and the infected larvae are passed on. When fully developed, the infective larvae enter the bloodstream and move to the heart and vessels, where they grow to maturity and start reproducing more microfilaria.

Pets In The City Magazine

It takes a number of years before dogs show signs of infection.

Consequently, the disease is diagnosed mostly in four to eight year old dogs. However, we can start testing for it as soon as dogs reach around one year of age. We generally don’t test for heartworm in puppies, as the young worms (larvae) take up to seven months to mature following an infected mosquito bite.

What do heartworms do to the dog?

Heartworms cause disease by clogging the heart and major vessels leading from the heart, which can decrease the blood supply to other organs of the body, particularly the lungs, liver, and kidneys. Heart failure is often the end result.

6

June 2013

Most dogs do not show any signs of the disease for several years.

Unfortunately, by the time signs are seen, the disease is well advanced.

The most obvious signs are: a cough, shortness of breath, weakness, listlessness, and loss of stamina. All of these signs are most noticeable following exercise, when some dogs may even faint.

Often the damage done to the heart is permanent.

How are dogs treated for heartworms?

Treating heartworms can be expensive and dangerous to your dog, which is why we recommend PREVENTION year round (with warmer temperatures some mosquitoes are surviving the winter). The drug we currently use to treat heartworms does not appear to have toxic side effects, unlike some of the old treatments, however it can still be dangerous if the treatment is not followed through step by step. We are able to successfully treat more than 95% of dogs with heartworms.

Complete rest is essential after treatment: This is often the most difficult part of treatment for both the owner and the dog. Strict exercise restriction is necessary for at least one month following treatment. As the adult worms die, they break up and are carried to the lungs, where they lodge in the small blood vessels and are eventually reabsorbed by the body. This can be a dangerous period, so it is absolutely essential that the dog be kept quiet and not be allowed to exercise for one month following treatment.

Prevention: Preventing heartworm disease is much easier and safer than treating it.

Many medications are available that prevent heartworm disease from developing in your dog, including once monthly chewable pills and topical liquids. Since prevention is not 100% we recommend an annual heartworm test, as part of your dog’s regular checkup, which allows early detection of the disease before symptoms have been noticed.

Can my cat get heartworm disease?

Cats may become infected with heartworm disease, although it’s not too common, and symptoms include coughing, vomiting, and even sudden death. Unfortunately, the disease is much more difficult to diagnose in cats and more difficult to treat. Ask your veterinarian if they recommend monthly heartworm prevention for your cat.

Can I get heartworm disease?

Humans can potentially get infected if they are bitten by a mosquito that is carrying heartworm. However, human infections are very rare, as humans are not a natural host for the heartworm.

Do I have to worry about heartworm disease in Utah?

Canine heartworm disease occurs all over the world. In the United States, it was once limited to the south and southeast regions. However, the disease is spreading and is now found in most regions of the United States and Canada, particularly where mosquitoes are prevalent. In 2011, there were 85 reported cases of heartworm disease of dogs in Utah.

Dr. Lynn McCarron is the owner of the University Veterinary Hospital and Diagnostic Center. Originally from Ohio, she has been practicing in the 9th and 9th district for more than twenty years, is a board certified Veterinary Practitioner in canine and feline practice, and a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

EXPERT ADVICE

Foxtails: A Summer Health Hazard Laura McLain, DVM

Foxtails are small grass seed heads, so named

because they are spiky like the tail of a fox.

Various kinds of grasses have foxtail-shaped seed heads, but in the Salt Lake City area the most common is cheatgrass, also called June grass or downy brome. According to Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative, cheatgrass is one of the big culprits behind the extensive wildfires we’ve had in the last few years. But for our pets, cheatgrass represents another risk: embedded foxtails.

We usually see foxtails beginning to be a problem for pets in late May or early June, when the cheatgrass plants dry up and disperse their seed heads. The foxtails are barbed so that if they get into a pet’s body, they burrow in and won’t come back out.

Depending on the body part that the foxtail hits, we see various symptoms. Foxtails are nasty, and can get into pretty much any body part, but most commonly we see them in the eyes, ears, and paws.

In the eyes, the foxtail gets behind the third

In the paws,

the most common place for the foxtails to burrow is on the top surface of the paw between two toes, causing pain, redness, and swelling. Pets may not want to bear weight on the paw, and are usually licking incessantly at the area. Often you can see a tiny hole in the skin where the foxtail burrowed in, with watery or bloody oozing. If your veterinarian suspects a foxtail in the paw, he will likely recommend sedation for surgical exploration. Because the foxtail is barbed, it can burrow quite deeply into the paw or can migrate up the leg.

Some pets seem to be “foxtail magnets.” I had two Norwich Terriers, Calum and Harry. Calum had wiry hair that repelled foxtails, but Harry had silkier fur that attracted every foxtail he walked near. I checked his paws every summer day but some still got past me; several times I had to sedate him to surgically remove foxtails that had burrowed into his paws.

To prevent foxtails from bothering your pets, perform a foxtail check every day. Look between the toes, around the eyes and ears, and around the anus and genitals. Shaving longhaired pets (especially the feet of furry dogs like poodles) can help—both by making it less likely for the foxtail to lodge in the fur, and by making it easier for you to see and remove a foxtail before it starts burrowing. If you have cheatgrass in your yard, remove the plants or use a herbicide early in the season, before the plants have a chance to spread seeds.

eyelid (the smooth fleshy eyelid at the inside corner of the eye in dogs and cats). As you can imagine, this causes a lot of pain and inflammation. The eye is red and swollen, with a watery or mucusy discharge, and the pet is squinting and rubbing at the eye. The foxtail can scratch the cornea (the clear part at the front of the eye), causing a corneal ulcer, which is very painful. If your veterinarian is suspicious of a foxtail in your pet’s eye, he will use an anesthetic drop to numb the eye, allowing him to pull the eyelid forward to look for the foxtail. After the foxtail is removed, antibiotic eye drops are usually needed.

IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT, FLAP YOUR EARS Chanté McCoy

Do animals have feelings?

How you answer this question likely determines how you treat them.

Is there a way to know? Personally, the “truth” seems obvious, gleaned from observation alone: animals are emotional beings with unique personalities. Fortunately, scientists are increasingly on board with more than anecdotal evidence. Psychological phenomenon can be observed and measured (in hormone levels, which are correlated with human emotions), and evidence is mounting in favor of rich, in-depth emotions experienced by our fellow creatures, who are self-aware, feel a range of emotions, develop family bonds, and act altruistically at times.

Family Bonds and Social Relationships Elephants, orangutans, wolves, horses, and chickens are just a few known to have complex familial relations, even with extended family.

They are social, maintaining and negotiating relationships, and developing life-long bonds. Social animals have to problem solve by virtue of living with others, including reciprocation, cooperation, and even manipulation. Social bonds are so important that animals will endanger themselves to maintain them, such as meerkats staying with sick and dying relatives, despite imminent danger.

Pets In The City Magazine

Cattle have complex social dynamics, preferably among herds of about 100, in which they choose leaders based on intelligence and good social skills. Orcas imitate, teach, and have unique cultures Their depth of feeling may amongst stable matrilineal even surpass our own. To quote social groups.

When Elephants Weep, “elephants may feel grief more profoundly

Emotions than we do, and dogs certainly Emotions are most notable have a greater capacity for among social animals, friendships than we do.” including mammals, birds, and fish. Animals have to navigate the emotional states of others, not merely go through life by thoughtless instinct. Emotions are social glue.

Felines growl when annoyed or angry. In fear, cattle go to extraordinary lengths to fight for their lives.

Many also appear to fall in love, preferring the company of one companion whom they affectionately touch, often staying loyal for life.

Once one dies, the other may die soon after (unlike humans who are only 1.4 times more likely to die upon the death of a mate), or simply not reattach again to another. Chemically, they have elevated levels of oxytocin, the hormone that affects romantic and maternal bonding.

At loss of an offspring or companion, they grieve. Grief can be so consuming that an animal no longer eats and dies. Animals struggle to save the dead, particularly infants, sometimes standing guard over the deceased for days. Coyotes, elephants, and primates are among those noted for expressing pain at loss. Many tales of grief-stricken dogs exist too. On dairy farms, cows frantically call for their babes who are removed for veal or beef.

Altruism Animals can be cooperative, compassionate, and empathetic. Bonobo monkeys will share food with strange bonobos, even when they could choose to keep it for themselves. Rats will free restrained cage mates, even if it means sharing beloved chocolate. Dogs often adopt orphaned animals, including other species. Dolphins will support injured animals (including humans), swimming with them for hours and pushing them to the surface, so they can breathe. Bats will regurgitate food for sick or unlucky bats unable to find food for themselves.

Animals express various emotions, from jealousy, affection, anger, and happiness to despair and grief. They engage in play for pure joy, raising **** their dopamine levels as we do. They express their emotional states via changes in facial expression, body language, and vocalizations, responses It shouldn’t be surprising that animals are emotional beings. Even if one supposes their emotional experiences are different from ours, it’s still involving higher brain centers in the cerebral cortex. evident they feel and want to be with family.

Birds, for example, emit soft notes like lullabies as they tend their As for me, I’m happy to have scientific evidence that my dogs nestlings, harsh calls to intimidate enemies, and mournful cries when care back and I’m not just projecting emotions onto them.

PoshPaws’s summer arrivals are here! Go check them out!

Mara Marini

Hello Pets in the City Magazine readers! My name is Monroe—yes, after Marilyn Monroe.

Summer is here! My favorite time of year! Luckily, I live in Los Angeles, and it is summer nearly year round, but for those four-pawed friends just starting to enjoy the warm summer weather, I want to share some of my favorite summer outfits and accessories with you.

Waiting for my mum to hurry up and get her makeup done in my pretty Hawaiian dress! (Mum got this one for me in Hawaii, but Utah pet boutique, PoshPaws, has some excellent summer dresses too!)

I loooove the sun and I sunbathe any chance I get! When it is really hot out, I know not to wear anything—my fur is more than enough! But, if I have some shade or it isn’t a scorching hot day, I love my summer dresses.

Utah’s local pet boutique, PoshPaws, has some excellent outfits to add to your summer collection.

Here’s me modeling some summer dresses too!

To me, summer is all about fun, bright, light clothes and accessories. I’ve even been known to rock a lei every now and then!

If it is just way too hot for clothes or even a lei, but you still want to add some pizzazz to your pooch—paint our paws! OPI has Puppy Paw-lish specifically made for us and there are quite a few new puppy polish brands on the market now too.

Matching manicures!

Hula time!

Your furry companion loves to be outside just as much as you! Here in California, we have some fun pet friendly beaches, but Utah has some beautiful outdoor parks and pools that would be a fun outing for you and your companion. (For a list of pet friendly parks in Utah see page 31.)

Drying off after a fun day in the sun.

Bike riding is a really fun way for us to get some sun and fun too! If we are small enough, we fit perfectly into a dog basket. If we’ve never ridden in one before, please let us get used to the basket before you take us on our first ride.

I love this cycling outfit from PoshPaws! I am going to have to ask my mum to get me one!

As much as I love June, occasionally it comes along with some gloom. I’m not a big fan of the rain, but some of my furry friends love it! PoshPaws has cute raincoats for those drizzly days.

Watch for my next column in the July issue of PICM and become a fan on our Facebook page to keep up on the latest pet-related news.

Little Country Mouse in the Big City – Part 2 James Maughan

To read Part 1 of this story go to http://petsinthecitymagazine. com/online-edition-by-month/

Jeffrey the mouse was amazed at how quickly things moved in the city. Just like back on the train, his eyes couldn’t keep up with everything flying around him. Every kind of animal Jeffrey had ever met, and even some he hadn’t, was busy getting from one place to another, or building something, or selling something, or buying something. He even saw a hippopotamus (which he had never even heard of, but Quincey explained) happily directing traffic.

Paws risen in retreat, he muttered, shoulder, “Whoever’s in charge is “Yo, I’m just feelin’ out the felines! whoever takes charge!”

Summer Pet Safety Elizabeth Cornwall and Megan Waller After a long cold winter, summer is finally approaching, and we will find ourselves outdoors a lot more basking in the warmth. With all the summer fun, there are also new dangers of which pet owners should be aware. In order for our companion animals and for us to have a fun and safe summer, precautionary measures must be taken to keep our beloved furry friends from harm.

Toxins and Poisons

The following is a list from the ASPCA of common summertime toxins and poisons you, your family, and your companion animals need to avoid ingesting or chewing: Summertime Toxins Animal Toxins- toads, snakes, spiders, insects, and scorpions Blue-green algae in ponds Citronella candles Cocoa Mulch Compost pile fertilizers Flea products Some outdoor plants and plants bulbs Swimming pool treatment supplies Fly baits containing methomyl Slug and snail bait containing metaldehyde Common Household Toxins Medications – both prescription and over-the-counter Fabric softener sheets Moth balls Post-1982 pennies (high zinc concentration)

Don’t panic Collect all toxic/poisonous materials involved (including items vomited or chewed) Do not perform any first aide unless directed to do so by a veterinarian Find an available veterinarian and go in immediately

Hot Cars

Each year thousands of dogs across the U.S. die from being left in hot cars.

Unfortunately, a portion of those deaths take place in Utah. We may have bitter cold winters, but we also have brutally hot summers. The average Salt Lake valley high summer temperatures are: June 82.2°F July 90.6°F August 88.7°F However, on an average of five days per year, the temperature will exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This combined with the direct rays of the sun can create an oven-like atmosphere in your car.

“Yeah, Tony’s, later,” Sonya said, nodding toward Quincey.

Quincey, who had wandered over to the beverage cooler in the corner glanced over and raised an offhanded paw.

“Who’s your little pack rat?” the raccoon asked, picking his teeth with a claw and raising his snout at Jeffrey.

They approached the counter where a crazy-eyed marmot, decked in a vest suitable for braving the rapids of the Colorado River, narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.

“What do you want?” he stated.

Sonya, at the head of the party said, “I want whatever the boss brought to the table!”

The marmot harrumphed and with narrow eyes lofted “Special!” to the kitchen.

Quincey stepped around Jeffrey and said “Same!” and retreated.

The marmot repeated, “Special.” He noticed Jeffrey clinging to Sonya “I’m not a rat – I’m a mouse!” and with a sickly smile asked, “What Jeffrey declared from behind Sonya’s do you want?” haunches.

Jeffrey, with what could be Sonya just shrugged and smiled. The considered super-animal strength raccoon nudged Sonya and grinned puffed up his chest and shouted, at the mouse.

is a precious momma kitty who gave birth to four beautiful kittens.

However, she developed sores that wouldn’t heal and started losing weight and throwing up. Mercy was slated to be put down because her owner didn’t know what else to do. Thanks to True Hearts Rescue who took her and nursed her back to health, she is doing well. The vet has given her a clean bill of health and said that she was suffering from a bug bite and stress. She is now in foster with Black Dog Walk, and looking for her forever home. She is about 4 years old, spayed, and current on all vaccinations.

HIKING DESTINATIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG Chanté McCoy

Summer has arrived, along with shady trees, alpine wild flowers, and—

Attractions: Views of Salt Lake valley and Great Salt Lake * No mountain bikers * Mostly shady * Elevation gradual with switchbacks

finally—dry trails. If looking for some great outings with your dog, check out these local footpaths in Millcreek Canyon, one of the few dog-friendly canyons accessible from Salt Lake valley.

Dogs are allowed off leash on odd-numbered days. A canyon map is available at the fee station near the mouth of the canyon. The fee station charges $3 usage fee when you leave the canyon.

Remember to take water for you and Fido, a leash, and plastic bags for cleanup. (For tips on hiking with your dog, see the January 2013 issue at www.petsinthecity.com.)

Pipeline Trail (Easy) Elevation:

Trailhead: dependent on trailhead used for access

Total gain: 800 ft. for total trail Length: length dependent on access point and destination. For full length (6.7 miles), start at Elbow Fork trailhead and head west; route will be 13.4 miles roundtrip.

Note: Take a picnic to enjoy at the look-out The trailhead parking lot is just past Millcreek Inn, on the south side of the road.

1. Access the trail at the southwest corner of the lot.

2. At the first trail split, go right.

3. The trail is generally obvious, and new signage (look

for “Desolation Trail”) provides direction at a couple of the

more troublesome spots. If you wander off, you’ll figure it out

within seconds.

4. You’ve arrived when you climb over some rocks toward the

top and suddenly see Salt Lake valley. The rocky outcrop to the

west provides a perch for taking in the views.

5. Return using the same trail.

Dog Lake via Big Water Trail (Moderate) Elevation:

Trailhead: 7540

Highest Point: 8740

Total gain: 1200

Access Points: Rattlesnake, Church Fork, Burch Hollow, or Elbow Fork trailheads. Parking available at all trailheads.

Attractions: Easy rolling trail that follows the north slope of canyon to a city overlook * Popular year-round because of south-facing sun exposure * Interesting remnants of pipeline segments

Length: 3 miles; 6 miles roundtrip Access Point: 9 miles from fee station

Drawbacks: Be wary of mountain bikers rounding curves, especially if your dog is off leash

Pets In The City Magazine

The easiest access point to Pipeline is from Burch Hollow trailhead located 3.5 miles from fee station. I recommend an “introductory” 1.6mile route from this trailhead to where Pipeline intersects with Church Fork trailhead, with mild inclines in between.

1. Start at Burch Hollow trailhead.

2. At the first trail split, go left, continuing west.

3. Follow the well-trodden trail.

4. Stop at the Church Fork intersection, where you

cross over a stream.

5. Return using the same trail.

18

June 2013

City Overlook via Desolation Trail (Moderate) Elevation:

Trailhead: 5790 ft.

Highest Point: 7040 ft.

Total gain: 1,250 ft.

Length: 2.4 miles; 4.8 miles roundtrip Access Point: 2.5 miles from fee station

Attractions: Varied terrain: aspen groves, meadows of wild flowers, lake destination * Elevation gain is spread out Drawbacks: Mountain biker traffic on this popular trail Note: Take a picnic * The top-half of Millcreek Canyon is closed from November 1 through June 30 to vehicle traffic

1. At the trailhead, take the trail to the south by the posted map.

2. At the first branch, go right.

3. After 1/4 mile, at another branch, go left.

4. Go 3/4 mile and stay on trail on right.

5. Follow trail to Dog Lake.

6. Return using the same trail. At intersections, follow arrows for Big Water Trail (versus Upper Big Water or Lower Big Water). However, should you get diverted onto another trails, don’t despair. They all go down and ultimately meet at the trailhead parking lot.

Parking is available directly in front of the adoption center, and a number of parking spaces are available in the rear of the building. Sugarhouse Coffee is located directly south of the building.

S

ugarhouse will officially welcome its newest pet adoption center, run by Best Friends Animal Society–Utah, with a block party on Saturday, July 13, at 11:00 a.m. and everyone is invited!

THE MISSION OF BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY

Pets In The City Magazine

The organization’s mission is to bring about a day when there are No More Homeless Pets®. In Utah, their work focuses on increasing adoptions of shelter cats and dogs, creating access to free and low-cost spay/ neuter services, and collaborating with Utah shelters and rescue groups to save the lives of homeless pets. Since 1999, Best Friends has vigorously participated in reducing Utah’s shelter death rate by 51%. Today, thanks to adoption and Spay/neuter campaigns, combined with the development of a statewide coalition of 56 shelters, 26 rescue groups and passionate individuals, 10 Utah communities are now no-kill, and the entire state is on the verge of following suit.

NEW FACILITY

20

June 2013

Just as the no-kill movement has grown, Best Friends has outgrown its current offices, most notably the Pet Adoption Center in Trolley Square. When the historic Smith and Crowne building became available, they jumped at the chance to relocate. Sugarhouse has proven to be a pet-friendly community and the building will allow the group to reach more people. It is also a tight-knit business community that promotes non-profit organizations.

Services available from the Sugarhouse location will include: free and low cost spay/neuter resources, resources to help community cats, pet food for low income families, and of course adoption. The new building will have two large “Kitty Cafes” right up front. These glass-enclosed colonies provide prospective new owners with a convenient view. Kennels for dogs will be prominently displayed in the main lobby as well. Dogs will be brought to the new adoption center daily and meet-and-greet rooms will be available for hopeful new dog owners.

VOLUNTEERS

All animals adopted out are spayed/ neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped.

By doing this, the homeless pet population can eventually be alleviated. Too often, well-meaning individuals seek to ‘adopt’ animals through un-regulated online sources.

Unfortunately, these animals are not usually fixed or end up in a shelter anyway, thereby exacerbating the problem. Best Friends recommends petfinder.com as a legitimate source for online pet adoptions.

Animal foster parenting is always needed and very rewarding. If you are unable to bring a cat into your home, bottle-feeding stations for kittens is a wonderful way to volunteer.

Simply put, the new location will be able to accommodate more animals and people.

It will feature a conference and command center for staff and volunteers. The benefit of this adoption center is that it will be capable of helping all Utah shelters and animal rescue organizations. Many prospective rescue animal owners find shelters a bit stressful.

This location is designed to be a stress free, one stop shop and education center for any that want to stop in.

Best Friends is always looking for volunteers.

For those seeking an opportunity to volunteer, to do an advanced search for the perfect rescue animal, or to just learn more about animal rescue, the new location will feature a research center, with computer kiosks, and other resources. Close proximity to several colleges/universities will provide students with opportunities to serve their communities. Several parks are conveniently located nearby for volunteers and new pet owners.

If you can’t physically volunteer, you can always provide a financial donation through Best Friends Animal Society’s Kitten Nursery Wish List on Amazon.com, or donate online.

If you go to the new adoption center, the friendly staff will be happy to help you get started in your volunteer journey.

Whether you are looking for a new companion, wanting to volunteer, craving a good cup of coffee and some fun animal playtime, or just looking for rescue information, stop by the new pet center. As the staff of Best Friends love to say, “The doggy door is always open!”

Summer Pet Safety Continued...

The Law When animals experience these types of temperatures in a car, they suffer.

This is considered a form of animal abuse. In Utah, law makers have taken action against those who leave their dogs and companion animals in a car unattended. The Utah law states, “It is unlawful for any person to carry or confine any animal in or upon any vehicle in a cruel or inhumane manner, including but not limited to carrying or confining such animal without adequate ventilation or for an unusual length of time.” A person in violation of this law could be charged with a crime, face fines or prison time, and expect possible damage to their car in order to release the animal. If you see a dog or animal confined in a car, contact the local police or animal control.

How You Can Help Because dogs are less adept at cooling off than their caretakers, they are prone to overheating. Heat exhaustion of a dog can lead to heart failure, brain and organ damage, and even death.

22

June 2013

Pets In The City Magazine

Watch for signs of overheating: Lethargy Restlessness Heavy panting Excessive thirst Lack of appetite Rapid shallow breathing Dark red or purple tongue Extremely high body temperature Lack of coordination Vomiting

If you see any of these symptoms, immediately get the dog into a cooler area and gradually lower his body temperature by providing drinking water and applying cool compresses to the head, neck, and belly or soak him in cool, not cold, water. Due to the seriousness of heat exhaustion, immediately seek professional veterinarian care for the dog.

Useful tips to help your dog beat the summer heat: When taking your dog out for a walk or hike go during the cooler hours of the day, like the early morning or late evening.

Whether you’re being active or just lounging in the backyard with your dog, always have plenty of fresh cold water available.

When outdoors make sure to have a shady spot for your dog to cool off.

Adding a kiddie pool for your dog to play in or a cool damp towel for your dog to lay on while in the shade is a fun and effective way to keep your dog cool.

Dogs can get sunburned, especially pale and shorthaired dogs. Keeping your dog appropriately groomed will help protect him from the sun and also help keep him cool. It can be beneficial to use a sunscreen specifically for animals on your dog’s nose and tips of his ears.

A dog’s paws are easily burned on outside surfaces, like asphalt and cement.

Test outside surfaces with your hand, if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog.

Never leave your dog unattended in a car or small enclosure that can lead to heat exhaustion and suffering.

The Pets in the City Magazine staff would like all our readers to be informed about the risks that can come with summer. We hope you all have fun with your families, friends, and companion animals in our warm Utah summer months while still staying safe.

The Importance of Proper Bird Grooming Know the DOs and DON’Ts of grooming to keep your bird happy and healthy RonaLeigh Wheelwright and Jennafer Martin Healthy beaks and nails allow your bird

to eat, play, and get around well. In the wild, Mother Nature supplies elements like tree branches to help birds groom naturally. But in our homes, it’s up to us to ensure our feathered friends maintain healthy beaks and nails.

Rubar, a playful Bare-Eyed Cockatoo, was trained to stick out her wings on command to help her wheelchair-bound human companion trim them. Not all parrots are this cooperative, but when you know the DOs and DON’Ts of bird grooming, you’ll keep your companion bird healthy and happy.

DO… …know what a healthy beak looks like.

It should be free from peeling, discoloring, or growths; the upper and lower beaks aligning easily; and it looks mostly smooth and even.

Pets In The City Magazine

…ensure your bird has the right perches in her cage. Natural perches provide the

best contour for your bird to wear her nails and beak against through daily activity. Manmade perches are often too smooth (i.e., dowel perches) or too tough (i.e., sandpaper perches) to provide healthy grooming. Because they can be harmful, avoid using cement perches unless you consult with a veterinarian first. …take your bird to the same reputable groomer regularly. Going to the same

June 2013

groomer allows for a long-term relationship wherein the groomer is familiar with your bird’s normal health range and can point out concerns that may call for a visit with your vet.

DON’T…

24

…allow your bird’s beak or nails to get too long. If you notice your bird’s nails

catching on your shirt or her beak is uneven, take her to a groomer before it becomes a hindrance for her. Watch for repeated beak overgrowth, which can be a sign of liver disease; take your bird to a qualified avian vet for diagnosis if you notice this.

Don’t wait too

long to trim your bird’s nails so she can perch without pain.

…trim your bird’s beak at home. While

they are certainly tough, beaks are also very sensitive, containing many nerve endings and blood vessels. It takes a great deal of training and know-how to perform precision trimming for a beak without doing damage. Even slight fractures in the beak can cause bleeding and be painful for your bird. Make sure a qualified vet or groomer trims your bird’s beak for best results.

Do keep nails trimmed to keep your bird healthy and active.

…trim your bird’s nails too short. The

ideal length of a bird’s nails is just beyond the blood vessel, or “quick,” in each nail. It’s often hard to see where that is, however, trimming nails through the quick can lead to pain and bleeding for your feathered friend. Take your bird to a qualified groomer or vet to ensure a pain-free trim. …wait to get your bird groomed. Just like

waiting too long to trim our fingernails can lead painful hangnails and breaks, waiting too long to groom your bird can lead to painful injuries. Make sure regular appointments with your vet or qualified groomer are on your calendar to keep your feathered friend in good shape.

Following these DOs and DON’Ts of grooming will keep your companion bird’s beak and nails healthy and strong so she can be active and happy. If you have any questions about grooming, don’t hesitate to contact your avian veterinarian.

Don’t let your

bird’s beak get too long, peeled, or cracked.

Do watch for

signs of fracture, such as your bird eating less or slight bleeding from the beak (seen here).

Do get your bird’s

beak trimmed regularly for optimal health.

Fireworks are awe-inspiring—they

symbolize community, patriotism, and everything triumphant about America.

The high-flying colors and soul-rocking explosions reaffirm our commitment to freedom and liberty for all. Unfortunately, animals do not experience fireworks the same as people. Imagine a terrified, 4-year-old beagle whining hysterically, cowering in his crate, flying up and down the stairs, magically squeezing through tiny gaps in the banister, and finally urinating all over the bathroom, hall, and kitchen floors. Imagine what it must be like to be a small animal, witnessing thunderous explosions coming from all directions with no escape. He knows only instinct. At that point, all you can do is fall on your knees and hold your companion tightly while whispering soothingly into his ear. This was my first experience with fireworks and a new dog, and many animals have experiences similar to this during our fun summer festivities. The following information is intended to help our readers, their families, friends, and companion animals avoid these stressful situations.

Utah Fireworks Law

Utah has changed the laws concerning fireworks in the last few years. In order for us to protect our companion animals, and make sure we are following the laws, we need to know when they could possibly be flying high and exploding in the sky. The current law for when fireworks can be discharged in Utah is as follows:

Pets In The City Magazine

Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. (except as noted): • July 1 – July 7 (July 4 hours extended to midnight) • July 21 – 27 (July 24 hours extended to midnight) • December 31 (11 a.m. – 1 a.m. January 1) • Chinese New Year’s Eve (11 a.m. – 1 a.m. the following day)

Tips to Help Your Animals During Fireworks

Protecting our companions during the summer holidays is key to keeping them calm and safe. Most of the steps you can take to help are preventative, so you can still go out and enjoy the fireworks with your family and friends.

The following are tips suggested by Janet Tobiassen Crosby, DVM:

June 2013

• Keep animals home It’s always tempting to bring along your dog(s) or ride your horse to a good vantage point because you think it would be more fun, but the loud noises aren’t usually fun for animals. Keep them home in their familiar environment where there are no other possible dangers.

• Keep animals indoors if possible Close the windows/curtains and turn on the TV or radio to provide some distraction. If it’s a barn, close all doors and shutters and bring in a radio.

Make sure the distraction is soothing, such as classical music, not something

that will induce stress.

• Provide a safe “escape” place Many animals will seek out a small den-like place (such as a crate) if they are fearful or stressed.

Some animals have a crate, bed, or enclosure/ pen that they can call their own. Create that safe place and familiarize your companion animal with it before it’s needed, so they can use it to relax during fireworks.

• Use a leash or carrier If you must be outside with your companion animal, keep them on a leash or in a carrier at all times.

• Practice fire safety Keep all animals away from matches, lighter fuel, open fires, and fireworks, especially ones that are lighted on the ground. Animals may try to sniff (or eat) fireworks. Animals that have hair can easily catch fire if they are too close to the fireworks.

• Take animals for a walk first Make sure animals that will be indoors use the restroom before the fireworks start. For many frightened animals, fireworks may lead to an accident.

• Make sure IDs are current In case your companion animal frantically breaks out and gets away, current ID is a must. A current microchip is another great option for ID. This will help the local authorities reunite the runaways with their families.

Safety tips from the National Council on Fireworks Safety

Let’s face it, fireworks are fun for families and friends during the summer holidays, but they can be extremely dangerous. When you head out into the dark night to set-off fireworks, there are a few tips you should follow to keep your family, friends, companion animals, and yourself safe.

• • • • • • • • •

Use fireworks outdoors only.

Obey the law. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them!

Always have water handy (a hose or buckets of water).

Only use fireworks as intended. Do not try to alter them or combine them.

Never relight a “dud” firework (wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water).

Use commonsense when using fireworks. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the fireworks. The person lighting the fireworks should wear safety glasses.

Alcohol and fireworks do not mix! Have a designated person light fireworks.

Only people over age 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.

Do not ever use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives; they can kill you! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
