If you’re planning to bring your furry friend with you during holiday travels this year, The Dog Guy has a few things for you to think about. First, be sure that your destination is dog-friendly. Grandma may have different rules at her house, like no dogs in the living room. Her place may be full of knick-knacks that can easily be knocked over. The best way to address this is to be sure that there’s a safe place to leave your dog when you can’t supervise it. A backyard or dog run is ideal, but a create is always a good option too. It’s also important to know what other guests will be coming or who might stop by. Not everyone may not be as crazy about or comfortable with dogs as you are.
Getting to your destination can sometimes be a challenge, but there are ways to make it easier. Safety is the number one priority when road trippin’ it with Doggie. Gate-like barriers are great for SUVs, harnesses can be convenient for sedans and crates can fit all kinds of cars. The point is that your dog is restrained. If you have to stop suddenly, you don’t want him flying across the car or getting hurt. For anxious travelers, many boutique dog stores, like Sbarkles here in Folsom, carry herbal calming treats. This will help Doggie mellow out before you set off on your adventure. Other accessories like no-spill travel bowls and indestructible toys (we like Kongs) can help make traveling easier for your pooch. Safe travels!

We all love our furry friends and we show it different ways – giving them treats, walking them daily, or allowing them to take up more room on the bed than partners. During training sessions, I’m often asked if you can give your dog too much affection. Well, it really all depends on you and the dog. You may be giving your dog too much affection if you never show leadership. This could lead to behavior or obedience issues. If your dog is generally well-behaved and answers to your commands, then your affection and leadership are probably in balance. Your dog should receive affection every day, however maintaining balance between affection and leadership is very important.

Most important remember to contact your veterinary should you see any of these symptoms:

• Sunken eyes
• Glassy eyes 
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Dry mouth
• Depression

July Tip from the “The Dog Guy”:  Remember if you want your pets to be cool, keep them cool!

• Remember that the food and drink offered to your guests may be poisonous to pets. Simply remember that the snacks enjoyed by your human friends and you should not be a treat for your pet.  Any change of diet, even for one meal, may give your dog severe digestive ailments, cause choking, or cause allergies to flare up.

• Keep your pets on a leash and supervised.  No matter how friendly your pet may be it is better not to excite your pet by having them chase and run around guests at your party/barbecue.  It is particularly safer to not have your pet play chase with the children during a party.  Even, if they do this with their own family’s children.

• Avoid allowing your pet to hang out around the barbecue area or pits; due to hot charcoal, coals, and fire. 

Here are some tips for keeping your dog safe during the hot summer months (younger and older dogs are very sensitive to extreme heat):

• Pets can get overheated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, such as trees, umbrellas (metal) and/or a small play pool (2-4 inches of water).  Keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

• Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. “On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time—even with the windows open—which could lead to a fatal heat stroke.”
