Tutti and Tigger really liked the modeling session with their capes. We’ve had another great year here at Greater Cincinnati Pet Pages. We continue to learn about new pet businesses and events and enjoy sharing them with you. Pet Pages began in Florida with the mission “To bring about the betterment of the animal community through education and awareness.” One of the ways that we in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas want to accomplish that is to encourage everyone to consider the “adoption option” when increasing their pet families. There are many wonderful shelters and rescue organizations listed in this magazine with loving animals looking for a “forever home.” All of the humane societies, shelters, and rescues are listed in the front, under adoption, so it is easy to find your new best friend. We continue to learn about programs to help pets and their families that are looking for people who share their mission. (See Volunteer Opportunities.) We also consider it important to provide information about healthier choices for your pet. We encourage you to consider natural alternatives to lawn care, health care, and pet food. 4 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Karen Tutti Tigger Derek This publication would not have been possible without all of the wonderful people who helped us with appointments, distribution, proofreading, printing and, of course, our partners who are advertising with us.

Many of us dread getting injections, and we worry about our pets getting hurt by them, too. So the idea of deliberately putting multiple needles into our pets may seem a bit scary. Acupuncture is the technique of placing small, thin needles into specific locations on the body to effect a specific response. Most pets tolerate the acupuncture treatments well, and many even enjoy it. The placement of these needles elicits a change in hormones in the body and the brain that can bring pain relief and relaxation. We use acupuncture in veterinary medicine for a variety of reasons - pain relief, neurologic issues, to help stimulate appetite to name a few. Acupuncture has its roots in ancient eastern medicine techniques, but has been refined to modern day standards. There is an increasing body of evidence of the actual physical changes that happen when the needles are placed at the traditional sites - these sites are frequently located near nerves or vessels. The needles stimulate these nerve or vessel bundles to effect the changes we want to see. Needles may also be placed directly into muscles that are tense and painful, allowing a better flow of blood and oxygen into the area, which allows the muscle fibers to relax and decreases pain. Acupuncture, massage, and other alternative therapies are great tools to have in our arsenal of veterinary medicine. They work best when combined with a proper diagnosis and when taking into consideration the pet’s health and lifestyle. This is holistic medicine at its basis - consider the whole patient and create a plan to maintain balance and health. Dr. Smith is a veterinarian.

I will heal their wounds, their diseases, their broken bones. I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve. I will feed them and give them a warm place to sleep. I will spay and neuter them, vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them. I will treat them and honor them. I will buy them toys, blankets, balls, and teach them to play. I will speak softly to them. I will try to teach them not to fear, not to cry, and not to hate. I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears, while gently trying to stroke their fear, their pain, and their scars away. I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them. I will socialize them, potty train them, teach them to be obedient, show them dignity, and hold their paws, and stroke their ears if they have endured too much, and walk them over the Rainbow Bridge, BUT most of all I will teach them LOVE. —Author Unknown 8 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Adoption-Rescues/Animal Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary www.AngelsRestAnimalSanctuary.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Crooker’s Critters Animal Rescue www.Petfi nder.com/shelters/OH858.html __________________________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Rescue Efforts for Animals in Many Counties www.DREAM4pets.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Fourgotten Paws Animal Rescue www.FourgottenPaws.com __________________________________________________________________________________ HART Animal Rescue www.RescueAHart.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Kyle’s New Hope Animal Rescue www.NewHopeAnimalRescue.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue www.LouiesLegacy.org/home __________________________________________________________________________________ Maverick’s Mission Rescue www.CanineCosmetologyGrooming.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Pampered Pets Animal Rescue www.PamperedPetsAnimalRescue.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Paws & Claws Animal Rescue Inc. http://pawsclawsanimalrescue.weebly.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Peppermint Pig Animal Rescue/Thrift & Gift 8255 Beechmont Ave., Cinci .. www.PeppermintPig.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Rescue Our Shelter Animals & Strays (ROSAS) www.Rosas.RescueGroups.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP) www.adoptastray.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Save Our Strays (SOS) www.SaveOurStrays.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Three Sisters Pet Rescue www.ThreeSisters.Petfi nder.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Wags and Whiskers Rescue www.WR.Petfinder.com Adoption-Rescues/Bird Greater Cincinnati Bird Club www.GCBClub.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Miami Valley Bird Club and Rescue www.teclogin.com/mvbc __________________________________________________________________________________ Northern Kentucky Parrot Rescue www.kyparrotrescue.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Ohio Bird Rescue Goups www.Bird.RescueShelter.com/Ohio __________________________________________________________________________________ Parrot Alert, lost, stolen, and found parrot reporting www.ParrotAlert.org __________________________________________________________________________________ Wings Over the Rainbow Parrot Rescue & Sanctuary https://sites.google.com/site/wingsotr Please support our partners — Say you saw it in Pet Pages www.GreaterCincinnatiPetPages.com Adoption 9 Adoption-Rescues/Breed Specific Kentucky Dachshund Rescue www.KentuckyDachshundRescue.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Dachshund Rescue of Ohio www.DachshundRescueofOhio.com __________________________________________________________________________________ Ohio Dachshund Rescue http://dachshund.rescueme.org/Ohio __________________________________________________________________________________ Alice, the “LOVE” Cat Alice was adopted on October 31, 2012 from Animal Friends Humane Society.

I am pleased that this form of exercise is becoming a mainstream option for our canine companions. Swimming is an ideal form of exercise for chronic conditions, pre-operative conditioning, post-operative recovery, obesity, athletic conditioning and general fitness in dogs. For dogs who have difficulty weight bearing due to illness, injury or obesity, swimming is an excellent way for them to use their muscles without putting stress on damaged or weak muscles or painful joints. The warm water promotes circulation to an injured area while at the same time increasing muscle and joint flexibility. Swimming also provides an excellent cardiovascular workout. Water creates resistance which limits the rate at which a dog’s limbs can move through the water. Due to this resistance a five-minute workout may be equivalent to running five miles on land. In addition to providing numerous physical benefits, swimming can also provide emotional benefits. I have worked with many shelter dogs who have gained confidence and trust after embarking on a swim program. When dogs lose their ability to walk due to illness or injury, the weightlessness of swimming can give them the freedom to move freely and restore their confidence. Watching a disabled dog swim with exhilaration after a toy is a beautiful thing. It is very important to check with your veterinarian before beginning a swim program for your dog.

Since then I have learned there are a lot of pet owners sending and receiving messages from /to their pets. Over the past few years I have had the good fortune to work with many of them and with other animal communicators in the Greater Cincinnati area and in other parts of the country. One thing has become very clear to me. Not all communicators work the same way even though the results are amazingly similar. There is no single way to exchange information with animals. Whichever method works for you is the one you should use. You may actually be getting bits and pieces of information in several different ways. When I touch an animal I “see” little flashes of the animals thoughts in my mind. All thoughts come to me very quickly. These picture flashes are only seen for a few seconds. I try to interpret the thought pictures that I see from an animal into my words. I do not hear words from the animals. I only see things from the animal’s point of view. That may not be the owner’s point of view. For instance an animal might show me that a person poked him/ her with something sharp. It hurt. What the animal does not understand is that it was a Veterinarian giving a necessary medical injection. The animal only understands it was an unpleasant experience. My friend Gail, from Indiana, sees pictures in vivid color. She is a very gifted communicator I am always amazed at the descriptions she is able to give while working with animals. She will talk about a green toy or a yellow blanket. I see things in black, white and shades of gray. Katie, a young woman that I have worked with from Columbus, Ohio, talks about what the animal feels and thinks when she communicates. When she works with an animal she does not “see” pictures at all. Instead she tunes in on the emotions, feelings and thoughts. Tiffany, a communicator from Texas, has recently started working with animals other than her own. She feels physical pain so intensely that she will often leave a session in great personal discomfort. That is not unusual. I have also had it happen to me. After a person has a little more experience it becomes easier to recognize the pain the animal is experiencing, describe it to the animals owner and then let it go from your own (the communicator’s) body. I have been told that the way a person thinks when pondering a matter has a lot to do with the kind of animal communication style that will be easiest for them. I tend to just stare into space-not focusing on anything at all when I am working. When concentrating on a subject, if the person looks upward they tend to be a visual/sight person. If a person looks straight ahead while thinking they tend to have a more verbal/auditory communication style. They will talk about what kind of sounds animals hear around them. When people ponder a matter and look in a downward direction they tend to communicate about feelings/emotions. My point is “there is no single way” to communicate with animals. Whatever method works for you is the one you should practice. Trust your intuition regardless of how you are receiving it. No two people work exactly alike. Try communicating with your animals. It is easy and fun. It is also a good experience for you and your pet. You just may learn some things your didn’t know before.

Walk your dog around the park on the outside of the fence. Let the dogs that are inside come over to the fence to sniff and greet. If your dog sniffs back and appears friendly, it may be ready to join in the activities inside. If your dog barks and lunges violently at those inside the fence, he is not ready to enter the park. When you enter the first gate, remove the leash. The other dogs who are already inside the park will come running to see who is arriving. This is the Greeting Committee. Your dog may be eager to enter or hesitant to get into a pack of unknown dogs. It takes about ten minutes for a new dog to become accustomed to the dog park. Initially, your dog may have his tail held in a defensive posture, curved down between his hind legs. He may lie down or try to get into a corner as the dogs hover around and sniff him. Pet your dog and give him comforting words. Your dog may run away from and be followed or playfully chased by the Greeting Committee. Stay close by in case your dog wants to come over to you for protection. Once your dog realizes that there are no threats inside the park, you should see your dog’s tail rise to the “I am having a good time” position. Be sure to introduce yourself to the other humans in the park. Ask for any helpful hints. Keep an eye on your dog so you can adhere to the number one rule of the Dog Park: Scoop Your Poop! Just as with any park, there are rules. Most dog parks are not supervised; and dog park attendees should not hesitate to use their cell phones to call the authorities if they feel their or their dog’s safety or health are in danger. Each person is responsible for the actions of his or her dog. Make your first visit a short one, perhaps only thirty minutes. Leave on a positive note. Leave at a time when your dog is having fun, is not too tired, and really doesn’t want to go. Taken from the Boone County Dog Park website.

Lucinda Craig Vaccination in both human medicine and veterinary medicine has eliminated or controlled many dangerous diseases, but, as in everything, vaccination is not entirely risk free. Your pet can have a reaction to a vaccine. Vaccination can have unpredictable effects on the immune system. While these risks are real, they are rare, and the results of a widespread disease outbreak would be devastating. For your pets, there are several essential vaccinations which prevent contagious and deadly diseases. Before widespread vaccination, distemper virus killed many dogs. Fifty percent of infected dogs die from the disease, and there is no known treatment. Age is not protective; older unvaccinated dogs are as likely to get distemper as puppies. Canine parvovirus is a highly infection gastrointestinal virus. Puppies are more susceptible than adult dogs. Vaccination is very effective in preventing this disease and should be started as young as six to eight weeks. Feline panleukopenia is the feline version of parvovirus. It is often called feline distemper, but it is not related to canine distemper. This is a highly infectious disease that is usually fatal in kittens. Vaccination prevents this disease, and all young cats should be vaccinated. Rabies is a disease that affects most mammals, including humans. In this country it is rare in our domestic animal species and very rare in humans, but common in wildlife. Worldwide rabies kills 55,000 people annually and 15 million people receive post exposure vaccination. Vaccinating your pet protects your family and all Americans from this deadly disease.

We want to offer a comfortable life for our cats and dogs. One very important aspect of care is to provide effective pain management for our pets when they feel discomfort. Mounting evidence supports the use of alternative modalities to effectively manage pain. The “healing hands” of acupuncture and veterinary spinal manipulation therapy (aka “animal chiropractic” in human terms) are being practiced on animals to aid in pain management. Likewise, holistic veterinarians are equipped with a large arsenal of medications to combat pain in their patients ranging from nutraceutical supplements and homeopathic remedies to Chinese herbal formulas. Herbal medicine has been practiced for millenia across the globe. Herbs have healing powers that are capable of balancing the physical dimensions of animals by promoting the free flow of energy and resolving stagnation. Herbal formulas are prepared for pets suffering from musculoskeletal injuries due to an acute trauma like a sprain or back injury or a chronic discomfort such as arthritis. Acupuncture is another modality utilized to relieve acute or chronic pain in pets. Acupuncture balances the energy by redirecting its flow and, thereby, assisting the body to heal. It is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improved function. General conditions treated by acupuncture include: arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms, stroke, and muscular pain. “Animal Chiropractic” (aka Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy/VSMT) corrects misalignments in the spine, restoring motion to the spine and proper nerve and muscle function. Pets may become misaligned during a trauma, over-exertion, or just the normal “wear and tear” of everyday life. Correcting the misalignments by performing an adjustment will allow the body to work at full function and heal itself. With acupuncture and VSMT, a simple acute problem, such as a sprain, may require fewer treatments, whereas more severe or chronic ailments may require repeat sessions. As with any medical condition facing your pet, your holistic or integrative veterinarian is your best ally in identifying and managing your pet’s pain. Pain management requires a team effort, with the end goal of a happier and healthier companion.

The vaccine issue has become quite controversial over the past several years which, in my opinion, is more due to the American Veterinary Medical Association than the small animal practitioners. So, why would this be true if vaccines are safe and necessary? And if they are not necessary, why do so many veterinarians require vaccines be given every one to three years? If you are a responsible dog /cat caregiver, you obviously want the best medical care/advice for your loved one. Because information is easy to obtain in today’s world, be it true or false, accurate or misleading, a person should do homework in order to ensure he/she is receiving true and accurate information in the subject being investigated. Antibody levels to disease pathogens (viruses) are acquired in one of two ways: 1) natural exposure, i.e. natural immunity, and 2) purposeful exposure (vaccination), i.e. passive immunity. If vaccines are given, it should be when the immune system is prepared to develop an antibody response (protection); for pups and kittens this would be at the 8, 12,and 16 week age levels. Let’s assume vaccines were given at these ages, or natural exposure without death occurred -- how would one know if the animal in question was protected? Your veterinarian can determine this with a simple blood test called a titer, which can be done in the hospital or sent out to a local laboratory. This test will measure antibody response indicating a positive (good-protection) or negative (not protected) level. Because there are multiple vaccines available, and not all are necessary, according to the American Animal Hospital Association, the caregiver must be aware of which are recommended (these are called CORE vaccines) and those which are not required. Interestingly, the rabies vaccination is the only vaccine required by law, but it is also the vaccine that causes the greatest number of adverse reactions. Consider also that running titers for rabies does not validate the animal is protected, but the same titer result is used to prove immunization status when transporting dogs/cats out of the continental USA. In my opinion, vaccinations are important when given at the proper time, but over-vaccination can lead to autostimulation against the body’s own DNA. This has been proven to lead to cancerous tumors at the injection site, as well as clinical problems associated with the thyroid, heart, red blood cells, and connective tissues. In conclusion, think about vaccines as a positive protection, but realize that over-doing stimulation may bring about inflammatory reactions that end up being chronic problems for your pet. Titer evaluation may be the answer to keeping the vaccines to a minimum and your loved one’s health at a maximum. Dr. R.E. Neubauer, owns and operates Mount Health Animal Hospital. R.E.

By Steven Stratemeyer, D.V.M. If your dog is terrified of thunderstorms, then Evendale-Blue Ash Pet Hospital can help! For many dogs, thunderstorms can be a scary experience. During the storms, the dog might shake and pant excessively, try to hide somewhere, and even not want to eat. If your dog is behaving this way during storms, we should see the dog for an appointment and design a specific plan to help. The purpose of this plan is to help control and desensitize the dog to the noise heard during the storms. This plan may include medication, which will decrease the dog’s anxiety while you teach him what to do during the storm. One thing we try to do is teach the dog to go to a safe place for treats. Then when a storm comes, you can take the dog to the safe place where he feels comfortable. The worst thing you can do is punish the dog for his behavior because he will associate the storms with the punishment and can make the behavior worse during the next storm. In addition, you do not want to pet or console the dog while it is shaking or hiding because that rewards the dog’s behavior of being scared. When trying to make things better for the dog, sometimes we are making them worse. The best thing we can do is to prevent the scared behavior. We need to act as if thunderstorms are no big deal. As the owner, we need to be the leader in the household because the dog will look to you to see what behavior is appropriate. If the dog sees you as calm, he then will be calm as well.

Pet lovers will not be surprised to find that the number one dog name in America is Buddy, which means “close friend.” Pets are our best friends. Below are some names that mean “friend” that are not as well-known. You may want to consider them when you name your next pet. Top 10 Reasons to License Your Dog #10. It’s a FREE RIDE HOME for your best friend #9. It’s a cheap insurance policy and the purr-fect gift. #8. It tells everyone that your dog is not a stray and anyone can look up the owner. #7. It’s a legal I.D. and proof of ownership. #6. Licensed dogs are held at the shelter for 14 days instead of 3. #5. It’s a phone call home for a dog that can’t tell us where he lives. #4. Registrations help us notify dog owners in case of disease outbreaks. #3. License fees help stray, homeless, and injured dogs. #2. Veterinarian help is available if your dog is found seriously injured and we can’t reach you. And the number one reason to license you dog is that it’s the law and nobody wants a $100 ticket.

Many of the pets I care for have now become senior Pet-izen’s™ and require a little more TLC. Old age for our pets is considered a condition and not an illness. It happens over time until one day we realize our furry friend just isn’t the same. They may begin to take more time getting up to go for a walk or take more time eating their favorite food. Some of the signs of old age are: incontinence, change in appetite, excessive panting, stiffness in the joints, loss of hearing or sight, sleeping more, decrease in activity, change in behavior, difficulty chewing, ulcers, lumps or masses, increased water consumption, change in weight, difficulty getting up, bad or foul smelling breath or intolerance to changes in temperatures (Pet Tech Inc.) Once a pet reaches the age of seven they are at a higher risk for these age related conditions and should be seen by a veterinarian for a preventative geriatric health screening. Lab tests can sometimes pick up irregularities long before symptoms begin. It’s best to keep a journal as your pet ages. This can help your veterinarian determine if the signs you are seeing are just due to your pet’s natural aging process or perhaps there is some other underlying medical issue. The top 3 “old age” conditions are kidney failure, diabetes and thyroid imbalance. These conditions can be treated with medication, however by the time kidney problems show up on a blood test there is a good chance that they have lost about 75% of their kidney function. Good dental health is just as important for senior pets as it is for younger ones. Poor dental health can lead to such problems as change in appetite, difficulty chewing, foul smelling breath and weight loss. It’s a good idea to begin a regimen of cleaning your pets’ teeth on a regular basis beginning at an early age. Dental cleanings can be done at any age as long as your pet has no underlying medical issues. Excessive panting, stiffness in the joints, decrease in activity, difficulty in getting up can all be signs of arthritis. A good rule of thumb is that if your pet is having trouble going upstairs the problem is most likely with his/her hips, if they are having difficulty going downstairs it’s most likely a problem with their shoulders. Pain from arthritis can also cause a change in behavior. Whether old or young taking care of our pets is our responsibility. Providing them with a well balanced diet, fresh air, sunshine, exercise, supplements, regular dental cleanings and annual wellness checks AND learning pet first aid is just part of being a caring, conscientious, responsible and loving pet owner. We owe it to our pets who give us their unconditional love!

Ideally, a dog food is between 20-25% protein. Most reviews favor the higher end of the scale, 24-25%, excluding puppy formulas and grain-free foods, which are higher. The food should be free from corn and wheat. These are not “bad” ingredients, but they have been known to cause allergic reactions; itching, scratching, and hot spots. Corn and wheat are also less expensive ingredients, and you will generally pay more for products that do not contain them. Look for dog foods that contain natural products and no chemical preservatives. Better quality foods contain a diverse array of ingredients and address different aspects of nutritional support. Choosing the right product will keep pets healthy, which has real financial benefits. Americans currently spend more than $13 billion a year taking their pets to the veterinarian. Our pets are subject to many of the same diseases we encounter; obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pres- sure, and organ diseases. Letting your dog become overweight can take two years off his lifespan, and current research shows that more than half of all dogs and cats are overweight or obese. Diabetes in cats and dogs is rising faster than diabetes rates in humans! Just like humans, so much of this can be prevented by proper nutrition, appropriate feeding, and exercise. Our pets cannot make these decisions, so it is important for us as pet owners to make the most informed decisions on behalf of our pets. In addition to great products, we at Nature’s Select of Dayton and Southwestern Ohio are proud to provide knowledgeable people to assist you with issues and changes during your pet’s life. We encourage you to contact us and let us help you with your pet’s nutritional well being. Made in the U.S.A. products with personalized and caring customer services is our mission. Alan Schrager owns Nature’s Select of Dayton and Southwestern Ohio.

Grooming 42 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Why Mobile? By Nancy Holland Mobile grooming services are quite popular among busy pet owners who don’t have the time, equipment or the ability to groom their pets themselves. In addition to the care from a trained professional, this service offers the convenience of “at-your-door” pet grooming for individuals juggling hectic schedules, homebound seniors, service dogs that need to stay close to home, and a range of other pet owners who don’t want their pets exposed to other animals, or the added anxiety of traveling to a traditional groomer. No matter the breed, routine grooming not only keeps your pet looking and feeling great, but more importantly, it enhances your dog’s health, comfort and social acceptance. Save time, money & gas - Under the traditional groomer scenario, the pet owner drops off the pet early in the day and typically will receive a call when finished – a process that can take most of the day or the added inconvenience of waiting at a shop until finished. Client convenience – In order to accommodate the lifestyle and schedule of the owner, it is not necessary to be home; access to the pet is all that is needed. Mobile grooming salons are self-contained so there is no hook-up to your water or electricity. No need to transport a dirty, shedding pet in the car, to a shop, or taking the chance of the pet becoming car sick. Pricing for this personalized service tends to be higher because of traveling to you which pet owners are happy to pay, for this added convenience. Stress-free - Leaving home can be stressful enough, but knowing that the majority of the day will be spent in a cage waiting to be groomed, surrounded by other pets unable to play or investigate the environment, pets can become agitated, upset, and physically sick. By not riding in a vehicle to an unfamiliar location and being left at a shop, the stress is greatly reduced. This in turn, provides caring for a calmer, more relaxed pet, resulting in a more enjoyable grooming experience which pet owners appreciate. Depending on the pet, grooming sessions on an average will take approximately 1 - 2 hours. One-on-one attention – Mobile pet stylists are able to focus more on the task, at hand, of grooming without the interruptions. They pride themselves on being able to provide the individual attention the pet deserves, as well as providing peace of mind for the pet owner. Typically, the same stylist will groom the pet at each visit which increases the pet’s comfort level creating a bond between the pet and the stylist. As with all service providers, simply finding a talented, reputable stylist requires doing some homework. Currently, there are no licensing requirements to ensure that the stylist has a certain amount of training, experience, and education. This is why it’s important to choose your stylist carefully by doing some research i.e. veterinarian referrals, searching online, personal recommendations before hiring any service provider. Nancy Holland, professional pet stylist and Owner of wag ‘n detail®, is currently servicing parts of SW Ohio, SE Indiana, and Northern KY. She is a graduate of the NASH Academy of Animal Arts - well-known throughout the US for turning out highly skilled, sought-after pet stylists who are highly respected in the grooming industry. She attends continuing education seminars, trade shows, and competitive grooming competitions around the country.

Lawn Care and Your Pets By Joe Doscher A quick glance at the label on any Lawn Care Chemical product tells us that we shouldn’t breathe them, get them on our skin, or ingest them. So we take the proper precautions to avoid their ill effects. Unfortunately, we often forget about their potential effects on our pets. Our pets run, play, roll, and dig where lawn chemicals are applied. So if we use lawn chemicals, it could put pets at serious risk. Pesticides are lawn chemical products that are designed to kill lawn pests. The most common pesticides used on lawns are insecticides and herbicides. Both types are bad for pets. Insecticides usually work by interfering with an insect’s nervous system. This kills the insect shortly after contact. Under normal circumstances, insecticides do not kill humans or animals, but they can have detrimental effects on their nervous systems. Humans are usually careful not to have prolonged contact with these chemicals. But pets are oblivious to their presence, and therefore more likely to suffer ill effects. Herbicides are used to kill unwanted plants. Those usually used on lawns are designed to kill weeds but leave grass and foliage unharmed. A frequent ingredient in herbicides is 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). 2,4-D was one of the main ingredients in Agent Orange, an herbicide used during the Vietnam War that has caused health problems in veterans. Studies have shown that 2,4-D can enter the systems of dogs, and it is believed to be associated with the development of malignant lymphoma. Today, homeowners have a wide range of natural, or “Bio Rational” products that are just as effective as their chemical counterparts. These include Milky Spore and beneficial nematodes for grub and other insect control. What’s more, proper use of fertilizers can improved turf density, outcompeting weeds for space in your lawn and minimizing lawn disease. Joe Doscher operates Planet Green Organic Lawn Care.

Professor Pup says, “If none are spayed or neutered, a female dog, her mate, and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years!” United Pet Fund “Empowering all those who help needy animals!” United Pet Fund was founded in 2010 as a nonpro it organization with the express purpose of ‘Helping Where Needed’ for Animal Care and Service Organizations (ACSOs). With that philosophy, we have provided: Scholarship funds for ACSO volunteers to attend continuing education conferences; Handyman services for assistance in the repair and maintenance of shelters; Pet Health Days event in underserved areas such as Over the Rhine; Emergency funds when needed for unexpected predicaments; and Nonproϔit leadership management seminars/ webinars, along with helpful shelter/ rescue-topics seminars, to the ACSO volunteers and leadership. UPF will follow the creed of the ancient Chinese proverb that states, ‘Give a man a ish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to ish, and you feed him for a lifetime.’ We look to give a ‘HAND UP, and NOT A HANDOUT’. Currently we are working on becoming a national resource and support organization for the smaller ‘mom-and-pop’ ACSOs. UPF will become a Nonpro it ACSOMember Services Organization that will provide basic business services needed by all nonpro its to become successful. Eventually, with the economic advantage that comes with having large numbers of members, it will allow us to offer access to discounted business services for our members, including, but not limited to, products and services that are needed by all nonpro it animal service and care organizations: Legal and Accounting, Insurance, Public Relations, IT services, Credit/Financing Services, Pet Products (including food and health supplies), Webinar-based training in Nonpro it leadership and management skills, as well as Animal Behavior and Health needs. The list can go on, but we have a place to start. With all these in one location, and with a central organization that understands the needs of the smaller ACSOs, the animals served by these organizations will be the ones that will bene it in the end.

Are There Animals In Heaven? (All Biblical quotations in this article are from the New Revised Standard Version.) Animal lovers believe that heaven will reunite them with beloved pets. Many passages in the Bible confirm God’s love and concern for all of His creation. Genesis 1:25 “God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.” God included every living creature in His covenant with Noah after the flood, Genesis 9:16. God told Jonah of His concern for the people and animals in Nineveh, Jonah 4:11. God delighted in telling Job of the beauty and majesty of His creatures and how He cares for them, Job 38:39 – 39:30. Nathan used an example of a pet lamb to show David that he had sinned. 2 Samuel 12: 3, “but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. He brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his meager fare, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.” There are two witnesses recorded in the Bible who saw animals in heaven. Peter, in Acts 10:10-12 and John in Revelation 5:13. King Solomon, known for his great wisdom, wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:14, “I know that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe before Him.” Verses 19-20, “For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.” He wrote in Ecclesiastes 12:7, “and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath returns to God who gave it.” Isaiah was given a glimpse of the new heavens and new earth to come. Isaiah 65: 25, “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; but the serpent – its food shall be dust! They shall not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain.” The Psalms are full of references to God deserving praise from all living creatures because he created and cares for them. In Psalm 50:10-11, God said, “For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine.” Psalm 100: 1 “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.” Psalm 104:24&30, “O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures…30When you send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the ground.” King David wrote in Psalm 145:9 “The Lord is good to all, and His compassion is over all that he has made.” Psalms 148:5 “Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created.” Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!” Many of the events in Jesus’ life were shared with animals: His birth, Luke 2: 7, “And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn”; after His baptism, Mark 1: 12-13, “And the Spirit immediately drove Him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on Him”; and on Palm Sunday when he rode into town on a donkey, Matthew 21: 5, “Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your King is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Throughout the Bible animals have been included in God’s plans for His creation. This includes the life to come. Co-Authored by Karen Conklin, Layperson, Zion Lutheran Church, Hamilton, Ohio; The Reverend Craig F. Lewis, St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Marion, Ohio.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. ––Unknown Pet Hospice: It’s about time By Tammy Wynn Perhaps one of the most heart wrenching struggles a pet parent faces with a terminally ill pet is determining, “when is it time?” It is a struggle because there is no definitive, black and white answer to this frequently asked question. It is subjective. But it is more than that. It also stirs up ethical, moral and spiritual questions. It is complex. I’ve developed a tool to help my clients wrestle with this question in a more structured way. If the question is, “When is it time to send my pet to the rainbow bridge?” the scale uses an easy acronym of RAINBOW to help the pet parent assess quality and better answer the question. Are there changes in: Routine, Attitude, Incontinence, Nutrition, Breathing, Obvious Pain, Walking? Hospice is a philosophy that embraces the notion of living…really living until you die. That is also the goal of pet hospice. The RAINBOW Scale© helps the pet parent assess the quality of their pet’s life. Are they really living? They may not be living like they did when they were puppies or kitties, but age is not a disease. With age comes maturity and stability. When we assess the quality of a pet’s life, we want to do so in an age appropriate way. With age the pet will slow down naturally, and sleep more. Having a safe, secure environment to rest in, is one of the great gifts a pet parent can provide a beloved aging pet.

Because a competent, ethical boarding kennel is an important part of your pet care program, and because the selection of a boarding kennel can be a confusing process, here are a few tips to give your pet a happy and safe boarding experience, and enable you to enjoy your time away from home, content that your pet is receiving the best care possible. ASK YOUR VET - this is the primary method of kennel selection. RECOMMENDATION OF FRIENDS - Satisfied customers are the best recommendation that a kennel can receive. Ask your friends and neighbors about their experiences. CHECK WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU - Ask about a specific kennels’ reputation, and if any complaints have been lodged against them. Another VERY important tip: TOUR THE KENNEL(S) - Everyone has their own yardstick. If visiting several doesn’t make one stand out, call and ask more questions until it becomes obvious which facility is right for you and your pet. Preparing for Boarding: It is often a good idea to make your reservations as early as possible. If you wait until the last minute, you may be disappointed. Make sure that you understand the kennel’s policy regarding immunizations, and discuss this with your veterinarian as well. If bringing medications, special food, or treats you should consider bringing extra in case of a disruption in your schedule. Your kennel may also provide extra services such as play times or walks. They may also do grooming if wanted. Town and Country Kennel and Cattery has been a destination for our 4-footed guests going on 27 years. 10 reasons why you should consider boarding with us: 1. Spacious indoor/outdoor dog runs. 2. Facility is owner occupied. 3. Long-term, loving employees. 4. 5 acre walking area. 5. Recommended by local veterinarians 6. Flexible feed schedules, your food or ours 7. We do boarding and grooming only, our focus is completely on the care of your pet. 8. Reasonable grooming/boarding prices. 9. “Report cards” keep accurate track of your pets’ physical/emotional well-being during their stay. 10. We LOVE dogs and cats!

Dogs…the ultimate fitness motivator! By Billie Mendoza Unlike humans, most dogs like exercising, it’s fun! You know that feeling when you’re comfortably tucked in bed, down comforter cocooning you and you’re tempted to hit that snooze button just one more time. Yeah, it’s hard to get the motivation to rise early for an exercise session. That’s why there are so many articles on HOW to get-and staymotivated. Now, if you’re a dog owner, you also know that patiently pleading stare you get when it’s time to go out. Dogs don’t have “snooze” buttons. For many dogs, exercise is like recess! Remember school days when you were released from the confines of the classroom to the great outdoors? Yes, like kids, dogs love getting fresh air, exploring new sites, sounds, smells, running, agility (think merry-go-rounds and monkey bars) burning extra energy! Try tapping into that childlike excitement. Of course, the benefits of exercise (a.k.a. play) are fact. It keeps you and your pet’s heart healthy, weight in check, bones strong, not to mention many, MANY, other health benefits. Exercising with your dog clears the mind, reduces stress and anxiety, and gives you the time to bond. You’ll notice your energy level increases by minimizing the effects of everyday stressors and helping you sleep better. You will also recognize that regular exercise for your dogs reduces pentup energy levels, making them calmer, better behaved and HEALTHY! Dogs usually don’t mind the weather, either. So when you think it may be too windy, too wet, or mulling some other excuse to procrastinate, just look at your dog’s happy face. It’s hard to resist that kind of encouragement. Let’s just call it “Mutt Motivation!” If you don’t have a furry friend to motivate you, check out all the area’s rescues and shelters to find the perfect exercise partner and most loyal companion.

Taylor Mill, KY 41015 matching pets to people’s lifestyles Like us on Facebook "Real Pets Need a Real Pet Shop!" Training With Treats By Jeff King Dogs (and most cats) will do just about anything for their favorite tasty treat. BUT we also know that too many treats can make our best friends over-weight and if we use those favorite treats too often they can lose their appeal. Remember a treat should make our best buddy DO something. Sit, stay, come, go, lie down, play dead, jump through a hoop can all be part of play time. What are the best kinds of training treats? At Pets Plus we find that soft, pliable treats are best. You can tear them into small pieces that hold the pet’s attention. Keeping his attention is critical and if the treat is too big then he won’t learn as quickly. In a quiet area, get your pet’s attention with a piece of the treat. Make sure he sees the treat in your hand and kneel down so you’re on his level. Look at him and continue to give him SMALL pieces for a minute or two. This is called focusing. If he snatches at the treat, curl your fingers and place your hands in your lap for 30-45 seconds Tell your pet in a firm voice “Easy!” Repeat as needed until he gets the idea that taking the treat must be done gently. Start with a simple trick such as “lay down.” Making sure your pet is focused on you, show him the piece of treat and slowly bring it down to the ground while saying in a firm voice “Lay Down!” He will naturally follow your hand with his nose. When he gets to the Lay Down position, give him a small piece of treat. Continue this for 6-8 times in a row. Stand up while holding his attention and repeat the command. If he responds correctly give him a piece of the treat. If not, repeat the process. Training is a process. Continually reinforce what your pet learned before expecting him to learn more. Good Luck!

Training 74 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Pack Structure In a dog pack there are leaders and there are followers. The leaders make sure the pack stays safe, has enough to eat, and has shelter. The leader must consistently provide all the pack’s needs or he or she will be challenged for leadership. Survival is the prime concern of the pack; if the leader isn’t taking care of ALL the pack’s needs there needs to be a new leader. In our homes there is also a pack. Fido doesn’t know he’s a dog or that we’re people. He knows that together we make a pack. We are very good at providing love, food, shelter and entertainment (toys) but we sometimes don’t understand safety, from Fido’s point of view. What happens when Fido doesn’t view us as canine leaders? He challenges us. This challenge can be in many forms. He may bark at everything, even us. He might ignore us when we ask him to come or sit or stay. He might become destructive or have toileting “accidents.” There are numerous ways he may challenge us, but it is usually some form of misbehavior. When Fido is challenging us the pack is unbalanced. Fido doesn’t have the ability to understand our world so he makes mistakes. It’s up to us to understand his world. Once we do, we can usually change Fido’s behavior very quickly. When the pack is in balance there is a more harmonious relationship and there is peace in the home. Isn’t that why you got Fido in the first place?

Please support our partners — Say you saw it in Pet Pages www.GreaterCincinnatiPetPages.com 77 Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when suddenly one stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together… Veterinarians Veterinarians 78 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Veterinarians Albrecht, Jordan, D.V.M.

They filter the toxins out of the body and into the bladder. They can be affected by many different things including age, viruses, parasites, cancer, trauma, poisons and congenital or inherited disorders. These are just some of the things that your veterinarian has to rule out when trying to figure out what is causing the kidneys to have trouble functioning. Pets can show a variety of different signs when it comes to kidney disease. Some of the signs are non-specific and can be seen with other diseases or disorders. The signs, although non-specific, are increased drinking and urination, vomiting, weight loss, lethargy and decreased appetite. Because the signs can be non-specific, your veterinarian may highly recommend blood work and other diagnostics such as a chemistry panel, complete blood count, and urinalysis. He may also recommend, based on the lab work, radiographs and ultrasound. When pets have kidney disease, they can still live a full life but will likely have a diet change and possible medications added into their daily regimen. It all depends on the severity, cause of the kidney disease, how their body responds to the treatments and any other health concerns that may arise. It is extremely important to follow the recommendations from your veterinarian in all cases of dealing with your pet’s health. The success of the treatment may be dependent on how well the recommendations are followed. This article is written in honor and memory of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Tucker, who went to the rainbow bridge when his kidneys failed due to old age.

The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like Mother of Pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?” “This is Heaven, sir,” the man answered. “Wow! Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked. Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.” The man gestured, and the gate began to open. “Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog, “come in, too?” the traveler asked. “I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.” The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book “Excuse me!” he called to the reader. “Do you have any water?” “Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there”. The man pointed to a place that couldn’t be seen from outside the gate. “Come on in.” “How about my friend here?” the traveler gestured to the dog. “There should be a bowl by the pump.” They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them. “What do you call this place?” the traveler asked. “This is Heaven,” he answered. “Well, that’s confusing,” the traveler said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.” “Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s Hell.” “Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?” “No. I can see how you might think so, but we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who’ll leave their best friends behind.” Adoption 86 Ad Rates & Info: 513-520-6077 Kenton County Animal Shelter 859-356-7400 1020 Mary Laidley Dr., Ft.
