Earth-Friendly Ways to Welcome Babies, Pets

Bringing a new member of the family home–be it a baby or pet–is sure to result in many happy smiles, giggles and messes. Whether it's your child eating spaghetti for the first time or your puppy trailing in mud after a rainy day, joyful moments with your little loved ones create memories and clean-ups. Babies and pets have other things in common: their precious paws touch just about everything, and whatever they can reach might end up in their mouths. So around these curious cuties it's a good idea to clean with naturally derived cleaners. Tackling the to-dos that come along with these new additions is also a good time to adopt other green habits that will help preserve pretty places for them to explore and enjoy as they grow. The good news is that there are easy and effective sustainability solutions that will allow you to focus on enjoying - and cleaning up after–your family without extra effort. ● Save money: Adding another person or pet to the household also adds a lot of

costs. Be friendly to your wallet and the earth by purchasing previously loved, gently used toys and clothes. ● Save time: With all the added duties that come from babies and pets there's very little time to make homemade cleaners. As an alternative, head to your local Target for a naturally derived cleaner like Green Works All-Purpose Cleaner, which shockingly powers through grease, grime and dirt from the cooktop to the countertop. ● Filter for good: Water is important for babies and pets alike. Whether you're using it to make formula as an alternative to breast feeding or simply providing your pet with a drink, using

a water filter is an easy way to get clean, clear and great-tasting water from any tap. ● Make it convenient: Clean hands are always important, but especially when dealing with new babies and pets. Keep eco-friendly hand soap near the kitchen sink and in bathrooms for family and guests to wash their hands before holding the baby or after playing with pets. Green Works Hand Soap, found at Target, is free of parabens and phthalates and gently cleans while stimulating the senses with an invigorating scent. ● Don't double up: Newborn skin is very sensitive. For this reason, new parents tend to buy a separate laundry detergent to wash their baby's clothes. Instead of buying two detergents, switch to an effective, naturally derived detergent, stain remover and bleach for the entire family. To find more information on green cleaners and tips visit www.GreenWorksCleaners.com, and to find a full selection of products, visit your local Target store.

Easing into Exercise After sitting around all winter, it is not a good idea to jump right into a full exercise regimen full speed ahead. The best approach to get your pet ready for more activities outside is a gradual introduction into exercise. A game of fetch is a perfect way to get your pet up and moving. The Chuckit! Launcher and Locator Sound Ball provides an easy way for your pet to increase their stamina, with the added entertainment of retrieving a ball that emits an audible pulse sound every few seconds to help pet parents and dogs locate the ball in any terrain after launch.

RingChaser is a great option to satisfy their instincts. Again, short bursts of chasing and retrieving are a fun way to get your pup back into shape. It's also critical to choose the best time of day to exercise - and noon is not it. The best time to enjoy your pet's company is early in the morning or early in the evening. Keep in mind that in the evening after the sun is down, the pavement can still be pretty warm, as it retains heat for quite a while. Where possible, try to exercise on a grassy or dirt surface to avoid burning or irritating their paws.

pet. For longer excursions, or for hotter climates, wet a bandana and place it in the freezer the night before so it will remain nice and cool a little longer. Also, make regular stops in a shady area to allow both of you to catch your breath. Indoor dogs and cats also need to escape from the heat. Make sure the house isn't kept too warm. Keep at least one room cooler by leaving the shades or drapes closed. Enough has been written about pets and parked cars, so I'm sure you are all aware of that potential deadly hazard. Don't do it, not even in the shade or "only for a few minutes." Enough said.

Keeping Cool and Staying Hydrated What we love so much about our dogs is how loyal they are and how much they want to please us. This can be a problem when it comes to potential overexertion, as they will keep going just to be with us, even though they may be overheating. Moreover, many dogs and cats can overheat from lying around the house or backyard as well. When leaving pets outside during the spring or summer, make sure that shade and fresh water are always available. There are many devices available that can provide water automatically or on-demand, like the Petmate Replendish Waterer, which provides a constant flow of fresh water throughout the day for pets even when the pet parent isn't home. If you're out and about with your pet, consider the Replendish To-Go Water bottle that conveniently includes a travel bowl for your

Limitless Possibilities, While on a Leash You and your pet are finally enjoying the great outdoors, and the fun activities with Fido are endless. Our pet nation has a huge population, and it's important to be a good citizen. Remember to respect other pets' "space" and boundaries, and don't assume every dog is dying to play with yours. Wherever you and your pet decide to roam, be mindful of the local leash laws. You don't want to turn a fun outing into an emergency room visit for you or anyone else. If you're heading off to a park or hiking area, make sure you have everything you need for your trek. Travel treats and water bottles are always a good idea to keep with (Continued on page 16)

Understanding and Treating Food Intolerances in Pets

f your four-legged friend is exhibiting some unusual symptoms, there’s a chance a food sensitivity may be the culprit. Even for pets that don’t have a full-blown food allergy, food intolerance can create problems that are easily remedied with a change in diet. “The length of time a pet has been on a food does not seem to affect the risk of developing adverse food reactions,” said Dr. Jennifer Adolphe, PhD, a companion animal nutritionist and registered dietitian. “A pet can react to a food after just one feeding, or after many months or years on the same food. Just like people, every pet is different, so the degree of sensitivity to an ingredient can vary.”

Knowing the warning signs is the first step toward understanding whether your pet is suffering from a food-related intolerance.

Cats with food intolerances may show symptoms such as: ● Vomiting and diarrhea ● Bloating and related symptoms, such as gas ● Skin irritation, which is typically rare in cats

→

Dogs may display these symptoms if they are suffering from sensitivities to certain foods: ● Excessive paw licking or chewing with paws often turning red as a result ● Chronic or recurrent ear infections ● Visible fur loss ● Itching and rashes, especially around the dog’s face, feet, ears, forelegs or armpits ● Vomiting and diarrhea

If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, it could be a sign he or she has a food intolerance. First, consult with your veterinarian to rule out any health conditions. Once your pet receives a clean bill of health, switching the food your pet eats may help alleviate his or her symptoms.

Home-Cooked Elimination Diets An elimination diet is a specialized diet that is fed to pets and excludes all suspect ingredients. Once a diet is found that resolves the symptoms, a pet is then fed potentially aggravating ingredients to see if symptoms reappear. If they do, an adverse food reaction is confirmed. The elimination diet will need to be closely monitored by a veterinary professional and followed for approximately 6-8 weeks to determine success.

Limited Ingredient Diets A limited ingredient diet (LID) offers a single source of meat protein with as few additional ingredients as possible to meet the nutritional requirements of your pet. Options like GO! Solutions recipes from Petcurean are formulated especially for pets with specific dietary needs and food sensitivities, and carefully prepared with premium-quality meat proteins, unique carbs and essential omega oils. To determine whether a limited ingredient recipe will work for your foodsensitive pet, you should eliminate all treats and other food sources. You may notice immediate improvements, but your pet should stay on the new food for 8-12 weeks to ensure it is the right choice.

It may take some trial and error to find a food that works for a food-sensitive pet, but patience and persistence can help your pet live a happy and healthy life. Learn more about food options for pets with special dietary needs at Petcureango.com.

Coprophagia (dogs eating poop) is a behavior problem. I recently found, what looked like, a half-munched poo while I was cleaning up our dog area. I decided to not inspect it too closely and figured I was imagining what “could have been” until I caught our six-month old puppy, Jax, shoving his nose up Chloe’s --- and trying to eat her poo as it was coming out. Absurd! Right? Nasty! But, apparently, this can be a common behavior, especially in puppies.

It’s important for Jax and all dogs to know that poop is okay—just not to eat. We don’t want them thinking that going poop is a bad thing, so they feel they should eat away any evidence! What to do: 1. Reinforce good pooping behavior. 2. Discourage Coprophagia. 3. Buy them healthy treats to munch on.

This is a new behavior in Jax that I have not seen before. It is a behavior I immediately addressed. If your puppy/dog tends to eat poop excessively, please take your poop-eating pup to the vet—it could be a symptom of an underlying medical issue or vitamin/mineral deficiency. And if your pup is not immunized, be sure to get him up to date on his immunizations because diseases can be spread through feces.

Why is My Dog Eating Poop? There’s a few reasons, I’ve learned, why dogs may chew the poo. Here’s a few:

4. Make sure potty pads are changed regularly after use.

Yummy Flavor! Another reason Jax, or any dog, may be eating poo is, well, he likes it. In a case such as this, it will be harder to break him of a poo-eating habit. It can be very hard to stop eating something you think is yummy, even if it’s bad for you. Us humans know this all too well! What to do: 1. Discourage Coprophagia.

Hiding the Evidence

2. Buy them healthy treats to munch on.

Both Jax and Chloe (4 year-old Chi) are trained to either go outside, or inside in their designated area on their “potty pads”. If for some reason they didn’t go where it is acceptable, maybe Jax is hiding any evidence of pooing outside the boundaries. Or maybe he is getting confused as to what is acceptable or not. So, now I have to reinforce his positive pooping behaviors while trying to discourage the poop eating behavior.

3. Clean up any poo immediately so your pup doesn’t have the chance to munch on it.

Doggy Boredom Maybe Jax, or your dog, is bored and wants more attention. Voila! I get attention when I am naughty, so let’s eat poop!! If

this is the problem, there could be an easy fix.

help calm your pet while addressing his Coprophagia.

What to do:

Copycat

1. Spend more quality time with your dog.

Your dog just may be doing what he has seen other dogs do, or doing what a dominant dog is requiring of him. Especially in families with a lot of dogs, it may be hard to find the poop-eating culprit, and other dogs in the family pack just may follow the submissive-leader in the new poop-eating culture.

2. Take them to the dog park more often (at least 1-2 times per week). 3. Buy (or make) them fun new toys to play with. 4. Socialize them with other (non-poop eating) dogs. 5. Discourage Coprophagia.

Stress If your dog is stressed, he may find some comfort in Coprophagia. Of course, that is not what we want for our pups, but nor do we want them to be stressed. So, if stress is the factor, then punishing your pooch for eating his poo will just stress him out more. Find ways to address his poo-eating stress relief that are not going to add to his stress.

Dogs have an order of dominant and submissive roles. Submissive dogs will sometimes eat the poo of their dominant counterparts. If you have a poop-eater leading your family pack and teaching bad manners, here are some things you can try. What to do: 1. Discourage Coprophagia. 2. Make sure poo is cleaned up pronto! If you have a lot of dogs, you may want to invest in a little help until this poop-eating crisis is over.

What to do:

3. Buy them healthy treats to munch on.

1. Make sure your dog has a calm, relaxing home environment.

4. Buy (or make) them fun new toys to play with.

2. Spend quality time with your dog and be sure he is able to run and burn off extra energy.

5. Set up a video camera to see if you can catch the culprit!

3. Clean up any poo immediately so your pup doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the chance to munch on it. 4. Consult your holistic vet on ways to

6. Once you have found the poo-eater, discourage Coprophagia. 7. Socialize them with other (non-poop eating) dogs.

The Reason That Should Not Exist: You Have a Hungry Dog The simple answer to your dog eating his poo or the cat’s poo, may be simply that he is not getting enough healthy foods in his daily diet. He may be lacking a nutritional component. The lack of iron, vitamin B or other vitamins/minerals could possibly lead your dog to eating feces. What to do:

adding MSG to your dog’s food: “The addition of MSG (monosodium glutamate) or MSG containing products (meat tenderizers) to the diet of the animal whose feces is being eaten often helps discourage coprophagia. In multi-pet households, it is probably easier to add MSG to everyone’s diet. Cats may not readily eat MSG-laced food, so if your dog eats cat poop, you may have to be more strategic with the litter box. Your veterinarian can help you with the proper dose of MSG.”

1. Discourage Coprophagia. 2. Buy them healthy, grain free dog food. 3. Consult your vet for suggestions on nutritious dog food and a healthy meal plan. 4. Feed your dog regularly-morning and night, or on demand. 5. If you need help feeding your dog, talk to one of our local pet rescues or your vet.

A Good Pup Mum If your mama recently had a litter of puppies, eating poop is instinctual and completely normal. A mother with pups instinctively eats her pup’s poop to keep her den clean so as not to attract predators with the scent of her babies. What to do: 1. Let them be. She is doing what nature has trained her to do. 2. Enjoy the puppies!!! Another, natural way to address coprophagia, according to Dr. Ken Tudor, a Holistic Vet in Southern California is by

With my two dogs, Chloe is the mildmannered Chihuahua who would never eat her poo (or Jax’s). But Jax (a Jorky), being a puppy and having that Jack Russell in his blood, loves to get into everything, chew on EVERYTHING, and dig for treasures. Unfortunately, his treasures these days are not made of gold. I am definitely keeping a closer eye on him and staying on top of the poo issue (not literally) to ensure both Jax and Chloe have a happy, peaceful, coprophagia-free home.

Simple Ways to Save on Your Pet's Medical Costs

Pet parents know that there's nothing like

INVEST IN PREVENTATIVE CARE

the love of furry family members. Keeping

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is just as applicable to pets as it is to their human caregivers. One of the most important things a pet parent can do to ensure the ongoing health of any animal is to bring them in for annual checkups whether they are experiencing health issues or not.

your pets healthy is a priority because you want them to live as long as possible. However, health care costs for pets are expensive, and if you are dealing with additional expenses such as prescriptions for chronic conditions, it can become a burden to your budget. Fortunately, there are several things pet owners can do proactively to keep pets healthy and save money on health care costs.

During wellness checkups, veterinarians can screen for a variety of health conditions. They provide insight on diseases, age-related concerns, dental health, nutritional considerations and so much more. Plus you're able to provide your pet with important vaccinations.

14 | Paradise Pets Magazine, Ketchikan, AK Vol. 3 Issue 3 ÂŠ 2018 ParadisePetsMag.com

Regular checkups help vets identify problems sooner rather than later, and this can translate to more affordable health care costs to pet parents in the long run.

GET AN INSIDE RX PETS PRESCRIPTION CARD Costs for managing your pet's health can be a bear with pet owners spending more than $8 billion on prescription and overthe-counter medications annually. The Inside Rx Pets program offers savings on commonly prescribed medications such as insulin and antibiotics, as well as seizure, glaucoma and anti-inflammatory drugs. The Inside Rx Pets savings card is not insurance; it is a savings card you can use for certain human medications that may be prescribed for your pet. A complete list of the medications with which you can use the Inside Rx Pet card, as well as pricing information and other details, can be found at https://InsideRx.com/Pets. Benefiting from these discounts is easy for pet parents: If your pet's veterinarian writes a prescription for an applicable medication, simply download the free discount card from the Inside Rx Pets website and present it with the prescription at one of the 40,000 participating pharmacies located across the U.S. that fill prescriptions for animals. These include national chains such as Kroger Family of Pharmacies, CVS and Walgreens (yes, the same pharmacies you go to for your own medications).

EXERCISE AND FOCUS ON NUTRITION Obesity is a growing concern for many pets. Poor nutrition paired with limited exercise causes pets to put on additional weight. This weight can put them at higher risk for health concerns like diabetes, osteoarthritis and ligament injuries. These health concerns not only risk the quality of life for Fluffy or Fido, but also can deeply impact your pocketbook. Pets, just like humans, require exercise and proper nutrition to stay healthy and feel their best. Whether that's letting your rabbit out of the cage to run or going on a walk with your dog, be sure to make regular exercise a part of your fur family's routine. If you're unsure what is appropriate for your pet, call your veterinarian or bring it up at a wellness visit. They'll be delighted you reached out for more information to keep your pet healthy.

START AN EMERGENCY FUND Choosing between a pet and an unexpected health expense is something no one wants to experience. Being prepared can make a big difference when facing difficult decisions, so it's wise to have savings set aside in case of a rainy day. Some people are starting pet health savings accounts (HSAs) that are similar (Continued on page 16)

themselves to pay for medical expenses. Whether you choose that path or a traditional savings account, when you have an emergency fund you won't have to worry about any unexpected expenses, so you can simply focus on getting your pet well again.

Being proactive is important for keeping your pets healthy for many years. From scheduling annual wellness visits to taking advantage of the Inside Rx Pets discount card, there are many easy actions pet parents can take today to reduce costs so

Regardless of whether you choose to run, romp, hike or trek, spring and summer are great times of year to bond with your pets. I encourage all of you to get outdoors, enjoy the warmth and sunshine, and to include your four-legged kids in your activities. Just remember to play it smart and keep them safe.

Dogs Can Catch the Flu? What Dog Parents Need to Know

id you know that humans are not the only ones who can catch the flu? Unfortunately for man's best friend, dogs are also susceptible to their own version of it.

Dog flu is a year-round illness that can easily spread from dog to dog, but isn't contagious to humans. Spring is a great time for pet parents to talk to their veterinarians about vaccinating their dogs against dog flu, either for the first time or for revaccination, because warmer weather means more time spent outside socializing with other dogs - and more social time can increase a dog's chance of getting sick. "Dog flu is highly contagious and we've seen thousands of cases being reported over the last year," says Kathryn Primm, DVM, co-author of the Pet Parent's Guide to Infectious Disease of Dogs. "The good news is that it's also vaccine preventable.

Dogs can be protected against both strains of dog flu with a single vaccine."

To help pet parents across the country, here are answers to some common questions pet parents have about dog flu. What exactly is dog flu? There are two strains of the canine influenza virus H3N2 and H3N8. H3N2 is relatively new and is responsible for most of the recent cases. Common symptoms of dog flu include high fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, cough, runny nose and, in some cases, pneumonia - which can be life-threatening. â&#x2020;&#x2019;

Paradise Pets Magazine, Ketchikan, AK Vol. 3 Issue 3 ÂŠ 2018 ParadisePetsMag.com | 17

Continued from previous page.

How do dogs get dog flu? Dog flu is highly contagious and can pass between dogs through virus particles in the air, physical contact with other dogs, indirect contact with an infected dog or contact with a person who has interacted with an infected dog. Since dogs have no natural immunity against dog flu, almost all unvaccinated dogs that come in contact with the virus will become sick. Are certain groups of dogs more susceptible to dog flu? Pups that travel with their families or are frequently in contact with other dogs at places like dog parks, doggie daycare, grooming facilities and boarding kennels are at increased risk and should be vaccinated against both strains of dog flu.

Why should I get my dog vaccinated now? Dog flu is not seasonal, it is yearround; but because dogs tend to be more social in the spring in many parts of the country, they are more likely to encounter a contagious dog. Plus, with summer approaching, dogs that will be boarded should finish the dog flu vaccination at least two weeks before the planned date of boarding. Dogs vaccinated for the first time need two vaccinations, two to four weeks apart. Annual revaccination just requires one vaccination.

Can dogs transmit the flu to humans? No. To date, there is no evidence that humans can catch canine influenza virus from dogs. Can I vaccinate my dog against both strains? According to the American Animal Hospital Association, dogs at risk, such as those that are boarded at kennels, attend doggie day care or visit dog parks, should be vaccinated against both strains of dog flu, available in a single vaccine. Dogs should be vaccinated on an annual basis to prevent illness or decrease the severity of symptoms if they do become sick. To find a vet that carries the dog flu vaccination, you can visit dogflu.com and search by your zip code.

How long has this vaccine been available? Bivalent vaccines, which are vaccines that contain both strains of dog flu, were introduced to the market in 2016 and 2017. Millions of dogs have been vaccinated against dog flu. Spring weather is exciting for both pet parents and their dogs - it means it's time to get outside and play. Avoid the risk of dog flu by talking to a veterinarian about vaccination and visiting dogflu.com to find a veterinarian and schedule an appointment for a dog flu vaccination for your pet.
