FINDING THE RIGHT BOARDING FOR YOUR PETS!
S
electing a dog day care for your companion is similar to choosing a nursery school for your child. You are seeking a safe, clean, enriching environment. You want good communication; social groups appropriate to the physical and mental development of your family member; and a professional staff dedicated to animals in general and your dog in particular. A good day care is proud of its facility, willing to give you a tour, and have you meet their staff. Don’t be concerned if an appointment is required, an excellent day care follows a schedule. Schedules are comforting to animals. After a few days your pet will know when it is play time, nap time, snack time, and time to go home. Nap time gives your dog a chance to rest, recharge, and prepare for the second round of play. Your tour appointment will probably avoid nap time and occur during one of the play sessions. You will get to see the facility at its busiest.
Look around. Do things appear to be running smoothly? Do the play yards, kennels and isles look and smell clean? Are the groups appropriate in size, age, and play style? Do the staff members sound happy and respectful when they speak to the animals and each other? Does the staff welcome questions? One important question to ask is, “How will my dog be introduced to their playgroup.” The answer should describe a plan of slow, one on one introduction, and then gradual incorporation into the larger group. This process can take up to two hours and should be intensely supervised. Don’t be
surprised if your day care charges an evaluation fee, evaluations require an experienced staff member’s undivided attention. You should receive a verbal or written report from the evaluation staff describing how your dog did, highlighting any areas of concern. If your dog is not invited back, don’t be insulted. Not all dogs want to have dog friends. A great day care is willing to lose business if it means all of the dogs in their care are safe and happy. A clean facility, with sufficient space for play, rest, and safe movement of dogs in and out of the kennel area is just part of the equation. A dedicated, professional, staff is the heart and soul of any dog day care business. Dogs are always learning. Everyone who picks up your dog’s leash, speaks to them, or touches them is teaching your dog something. You need to be sure they are learning good things. An excellent day care invests in their employee’s education to ensure an understanding of health issues, canine body language, training, behavior, and group management. They should be proud of their training program and willingly allow you to speak to long-term kennel staff about educational requirements.An excellent animal day care is not an island, but part of the local animal community. Ask the owner and staff members about their pets, they should light up and show you pictures. Do they belong to any groups or local animal welfare organizations? Do they maintain good relationships with local veterinarians, certified trainers, and other animal professionals? Your day care staff should be personally and professionally connected to the animal community and able to offer suggestions on where to get high quality food and supplies, great grooming, positive professional training and traditional and holistic veterinarian care. Finally, trust your instincts. If it feels right, it probably is, if it feels wrong, walk away. Every dog and their family is unique, and the best day care isn’t the one with the fanciest stationary or the best marketing plan, it is the one that cares about you and your dog.

Brushing M
ost dogs enjoy being brushed, and sessions will strengthen the bond with your dog while maintaining a healthy coat. A dog’s minimum brushing needs depend on hair type. Choose the right tools and follow these guidelines. Long-haired dogs usually require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling of hair. Medium-haired dogs may be prone to matting and tangles and should be brushed at least weekly. Short-haired dogs can typically go up to a month in-between brushing. Regardless of hair type, you can brush your dog daily - especially if he enjoys it. More frequent brushing during shedding season can help prevent hair build-up and excess shedding. Consider products like the FURminator deShedding tool or the Bamboo Shedding Blade.
Nail Trimming N
ail trims are often detested by dogs and owners alike. Most dogs dislike even having their paws handled and know how much it hurts when nails are cut too short. Dog owners are often uncomfortable with the process for fear of hurting their dogs. Dogs will develop an aversion to nail trimming once they experience pain from it. The best way to avoid this is to learn how to trim nails correctly and exercise caution. Ideally, a veterinary technician, vet, or groomer should teach you how to trim your dog’s nails. Most dogs need monthly nail trims, but your dog may need more or less depending on the rate of growth. An alternative to nail trimming is the use of a rotary tool to file down nails. Consider the Peticure Grooming Tool for this task.
Grooming Basics GROOMING TIPS TAILSSPIN PET CARE DIRECTORY 2014 – 2015
Bath Time B
ath time does not mean fun to most dogs and owners. It may bring forth an image of a wet dog running from the tub, dripping all over the house. Bathing does not have to be this way if your dog can get used to it. He may not like the bath, but he’ll be easier to manage. Learn how to bathe your dog properly and make the experience as positive as you can for you and your dog. Most dogs should be bathed monthly, but bathing as often as once a week is not considered harmful. Always use a soap-free shampoo that is intended for dogs. Depending on the condition of your dog’s skin and coat, your veterinarian may recommend a specific shampoo. In this case, be sure to follow your veterinarian’s instructions about bathing.
TailsSpin Pet Care Directory 2014 — 2015
Ear Cleaning Y
our dog’s ears can be a haven for bacteria and yeast if not kept clean. Some dogs can go their whole lives without ear problems, and the only routine ear cleaning needed is during the monthly bath. Other dogs have chronic ear disease and require multiple cleanings a day. Ear problems can often be traced back to genetics. Dogs with floppy ears or long hair tend to be predisposed to ear problems because the ear canal simply does not have as much air exposure. Many ear problems are a sign of allergies. If your dog has excess debris or foul odor in his ears, your veterinarian will likely prescribe special ear cleaners and medications. If your dog’s ears are relatively healthy, you can help keep them that way with proper ear care. Sourced from dogs.about.com

Why Adopt a Pet from a Shelter?
C You
Bef or
s ive
One of the most rewarding aspects of adopting a shelter pet is the simple fact that you’re saving a life and giving a deserving animal a new home. It feels great to help an animal in need, and after living in a shelter, your new pet will be especially appreciative of the wonderful life you’re going to give him. But that’s not all—your adoption fee will benefit other animals, too. By adopting a pet, you can support the shelter’s good work in your community and help care for many homeless pets.

L
Prepare a list of questions to ask Shelter staff members sometimes have access to information about a dog’s past, and they can often provide insight into a dog’s personality. Before you head to the shelter, make a list of questions to ask about the dogs you’re interested in: What do you know about this dog’s history? Where did he come from? Was he surrendered by a guardian, found as a stray or transferred from another shelter?
Sh
an
S p l ave e H
e
o to t G u he Yo
What have you noticed about him since he’s been at the shelter? How would you describe his personality and behavior? Does he like other dogs? Does he like children? How is he with cats? Is he easy to walk on a leash? What do the volunteers think of him? Is he affectionate, aloof, calm, energetic, fearful, shy, outgoing? Ask any and all questions that are relevant to your particular needs.
