<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j72BfeHgcD0/WjrXhd9h2tI/AAAAAAAAEFQ/JpT_1BcTlxsasrVWi3VggDaKmcIyCRs8QCLcBGAs/s1600/pexels-photo-46024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1600" height="235" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j72BfeHgcD0/WjrXhd9h2tI/AAAAAAAAEFQ/JpT_1BcTlxsasrVWi3VggDaKmcIyCRs8QCLcBGAs/s400/pexels-photo-46024.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You’ve been anticipating the big day. You’ve spent time
preparing for it. Getting the right bed, toys, and maybe some soft blankets. Letting
your current household residents know it’s happening. It’s time to bring them home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No, it’s not a new baby. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s a new cat or dog. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The problem is, you need to introduce the new pet and the
pet you already have, and that can be tricky. Sometimes, pets will take to
each other easily, but often, they will understandably be scared, wary and even
jealous of each other. It can be a little trickier introducing dogs and cats to
each other too, especially if they’ve never seen the other type of animal
before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CA5RddrW8MA/WjrfHANPp4I/AAAAAAAAEFo/3xgnEbsAaMsO-5wXWePUvNi1LwtooBFxACLcBGAs/s1600/pexels-photo-93825.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1083" data-original-width="1600" height="216" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CA5RddrW8MA/WjrfHANPp4I/AAAAAAAAEFo/3xgnEbsAaMsO-5wXWePUvNi1LwtooBFxACLcBGAs/s320/pexels-photo-93825.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You’ll want to make sure to consider both animals’
personalities, and plan accordingly. You don’t want them disliking and fighting
with each other (though sometimes it will be expected). If you have an
aggressive dog, you may want to skip the idea of getting a cat, but an
easygoing, friendly dog might welcome a new kitten. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps introduce your dog or cat to a friend’s dog
or cat first, to see how they react, before deciding what new pet to bring into
your own home. Once you bring the new animal home, rotate who has freedom in
the house; one day the cat, the next day, the dog. This way they can learn to share
the home with each other and have some time to explore on their own too. You’ll
also want to keep them separated when no humans are home to keep an eye on
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have any questions or problems, you may want to
consider consulting a veterinarian or an animal behavioral specialist, because
you don’t want stressed out animals. The goal is finding a way to have a happy
home.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1t4Pc-z2UnM/WiF2310_myI/AAAAAAAAEEg/ud8VaJoPUiIjUs4eV5EnmfGAH_DS41YoQCLcBGAs/s1600/muzzle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1t4Pc-z2UnM/WiF2310_myI/AAAAAAAAEEg/ud8VaJoPUiIjUs4eV5EnmfGAH_DS41YoQCLcBGAs/s320/muzzle.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Human beings often make time to work out at a gym or go for
a run. Some love it and some do it grudgingly. Most people know that some kind
of exercise is important for our bodies, whether or not they follow through
with it. As with many of the topics we’ve written about, this is another
similarity between humans and our pets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Throughout history, many dogs have been bred to be working
dogs, such as hunting, herding, or protecting. As this is less common but we
still have certain breeds of dogs that will need more exercise
than others (though all need some). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

all set. This isn’t the case. Just because someone has a home gym or buys the
next exciting exercise equipment from an infomercial doesn’t mean they use it,
right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order for your dog to get the exercise he or she needs,
he or she will need an exercise buddy! Yes, just like some people have
accountability partners to go to the gym, your dog needs you or a family member
to encourage and assist them with their exercise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes, we <i>think
</i>we know some facts about cats, but it turns out that those facts are
actually myths. Even the most ardent cat-lover isn’t immune to believing them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first myth that most people probably believe is that
cats should drink milk. While it’s true they may love the taste of it, and some
are even more partial to whipped cream, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it
is good for them. They are can possibly be lactose intolerant, just like
many humans. You’ll need to <a href="https://www.morrisanimalinn.com/news/cats-people-food-go-together/">find
another treat</a> for them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they hate water. While they may not enjoy swimming, cats are actually
fascinated by water, especially running water. They may prefer drinking out of
the bathroom faucet to their water dish, and even enjoy sitting on the edge of
the tub while you take a bath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the saddest myths is the idea that cats shouldn’t
be in homes with pregnant women or babies, because of fears of contracting toxoplasmosis
or the cat “stealing” the baby’s breath. Toxoplasmosis can be a risk, but it’s
a risk not only from cat litter, but also potentially raw meat or digging in
the garden. This is a great time to give someone else in the household the
opportunity to learn a new chore of cleaning out the litter box. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

You’ve noticed some little things, lately. Maybe they're not
jumping up on the couch or bed with you like they used to. Maybe they can’t hear
you when you call their name. Maybe your pet seem a little confused or anxious.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We like to think our pets will be around forever, because
the thought of them getting older and dying is too hard, but the truth of the
matter is that our pets, like us, do age. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaUDB2sgfrQ/WgCVclm_42I/AAAAAAAAECU/Ofd9jB6TzacQECaLLCPIM3h11zwJvSUrgCLcBGAs/s1600/dogss%2B013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1209" data-original-width="1600" height="241" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaUDB2sgfrQ/WgCVclm_42I/AAAAAAAAECU/Ofd9jB6TzacQECaLLCPIM3h11zwJvSUrgCLcBGAs/s320/dogss%2B013.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aging can happen before we are ready or aware of it, because
dogs don’t live as long as humans, and different breeds will age sooner or
later than other breeds. Larger dogs will age more quickly than smaller dogs,
but most might be considered “<a href="https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/Senior-Pets.aspx">senior</a>”
around the age of seven, with some being considered senior as young as age
five. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because your dog may not outwardly look old, you may not
realize that underneath all that fur, there may be medical issues such as
arthritis, heart, kidney, or liver disease. These are all common for senior
pets, and an exam by your veterinarian can diagnose them and help you
understand how to best care for their health. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
If your dog is aging and needs a little extra love and care,
well, then that’s okay. They are not only your companion, but you are theirs
too.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sound of a can opener opening a can of tuna can make the
cats come running. The smell of the chicken resting on the kitchen counter can
make cats think it’s for them, and look at you like you’re in the wrong when
you chase them off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People food is often a special treat for them, but there are
foods other than the usual fish and chicken that cats may like too. Cats’
tastes can be as varied as anyone’s tastes, and they can try new foods (just remember
to always check with your veterinarian about dietary changes). Every once in a
while, cats will like strange food items such as Doritos or lollipops. They will try
to get at them when you are eating them but those will <i>not</i> be vet-approved. On the <a href="http://www.pawculture.com/pet-wellness/nutrition/15-human-foods-that-are-safe-for-cats/">healthier</a>
side, cats may like <a href="http://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/evr_multi_healthy_snacks">treats</a>
such as: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Green Beans</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Sweet Potatoes</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Plain low-fat yogurt</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Spinach</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Blueberries</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you choose to try any of these foods as a treat for your
cat, and your vet approves, make sure they are cut into small enough pieces so
they don’t choke, and make sure that anything cooked is baked or steamed. These
foods shouldn’t replace your cat’s meals, but instead should be given
sparingly. They </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">can</i><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> replace packaged
treats. You will also need to make sure your cat doesn’t have any bad reactions
to them, so check for digestive or behavioral changes. If the food agrees with
your cat, it might help them stay healthy, boost their immune system, and
maintain their weight. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At Morris Animal Inn there are some healthy treats for your cats such as mahi mahi, lobster c<span style="background-color: white;">o</span><span style="background-color: white;">nso</span><span style="background-color: white;">mmé and other catch o' the day snacks. <a href="https://www.morrisanimalinn.com/cat-boarding/activities-pampering/">Ask about it when you make your next reservation for your favorite feline's lodging stay. </a></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You’ve heard that sound of your dog chewing or licking their paws. You always thought it was a little weird sounding and probably kind of
frustrating not knowing what you could do about it. It's something you never thought to really pay attention to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dogs actually will lick their paws for a variety of reasons,
and cleaning isn’t usually one of them. <a href="https://pets.webmd.com/dogs/guide/dogs-and-compulsive-scratching-licking-and-chewing#1">Some reasons</a> dogs do this is because of: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Injury; </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Habit/Boredom/Anxiety (kind of like humans
biting their nails); </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allergies; </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Parasites; </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pain; </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dry Skin and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hormonal imbalances.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because there are so many </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">reasons for licking paws, it’s
important to take your dog to a vet to have her thoroughly examined. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

run some tests to further see what the cause is so that treatment can be
prescribed. Treatments can range from anti-fungal medication to antibiotics to
special shampoo. Your vet may also recommend trying a new food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Help!<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes, people are loners, and that’s ok. We don’t expect
that we all have to always socialize and get along with everyone all the time,
and we shouldn’t expect it of our dogs, either. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You might have noticed that your dog doesn’t always seem to
get along with other dogs, and you aren’t sure why. There could be a variety of
reasons for this:</span><br />

to be around another human who maybe doesn’t smell so nice)</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Your dog doesn’t want you to pay attention to
another dog</span></li>

there are introverted dogs)</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Regardless of the reason, there is no need to try to change
who your dog is. We have <a href="https://www.morrisanimalinn.com/news/dog-prefer-humans/">Adventure
Playcare</a> so your pet has one-on-one attention with staff. Your dog does not
have to be dog-friendly—just human-friendly. Let us know their personality and
what they like, so that instead of leaving them home when you travel, they can
come visit us. Being able to have activity time while you are away can make any
dog happier and healthier. Don’t worry; your dog will still be excited to see
you when you return</span>. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You’ve been waiting for your vacation for a long time. Your
tickets are purchased, hotel is booked, and packing list is made. There’s one
last errand to run, and that’s getting your pet to Morris Animal Inn. Unfortunately,
timing doesn’t work quite right with your schedule. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was consideration to lodge your pet at places close to your
home or destination. You’ve even heard about airport lodging facilities.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only problem is, you don’t know much about
them, and you really want your pet to be in a place that you know and love.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We’ve made it through July and we’re getting through August.
The days have been long, hot, and humid. Some people refer to this time of year
as the “dog days of summer,” invoking images of dogs lying around panting from
the heat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XkL2-E91Ax4/WZsM3tbCNXI/AAAAAAAAD90/wDVI7S908PgQcW06oJKVInQRNHUxQSt_wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_5714.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="223" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XkL2-E91Ax4/WZsM3tbCNXI/AAAAAAAAD90/wDVI7S908PgQcW06oJKVInQRNHUxQSt_wCLcBGAs/s400/IMG_5714.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even though that’s not the <i>actual</i> reason for the <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/07/150710-dog-days-summer-sirius-star-astronomy-weather-language/">origin</a>
of the term, it <i>is</i> how most people
today understand it, and we know when it’s hot and humid and both dogs and
humans are feeling tired and lazy, it would be really nice to be able to cool
off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most dogs love to swim (though not all do, and not all dogs
are good swimmers) and <a href="http://www.petmd.com/dog/general-health/how-hydrotherapy-and-swimming-can-benefit-dogs">this
type of exercise is great for dogs</a>. It gives them a low-impact aerobic
exercise that is easy on their bones and joints, especially dogs with arthritis.
It can also help dogs who are recovering from surgery. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This time of year is great for humans to head to the local
pool, lake, or beach. Unfortunately, sometimes those places have those pesky
“no dogs allowed” signs posted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What’s a dog to do?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Go to Morris Animal Inn, of course. We have a heated pool
with nine jets and we provide life jackets for all swimmers. We have two types
of sessions: our Splish Splash session, which can be scheduled as an activity while lodging, attending daycare or grooming (it includes a post-swim blow dry!) or our Poolside Daycare, for those dogs who
just can’t get enough of the water and want to hang out there all day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes, we like to pamper ourselves. Whether it’s a
regular appointment or a weekend away at a spa, we like to get our hair and
nails done. It helps us feel relaxed and gives us a good outlook on life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We look and feel better when we care for ourselves, and the
same goes for our dogs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our pets need regular grooming in order to not only keep
them looking good, but to keep them healthy too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the common, regular grooming that dogs should have
are: trimmed toenails, taking care of matted fur, cleaning their ears, regular
bathing and teeth brushing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because our pets can’t talk to us to communicate, keeping
them groomed well can help us to identify any problems they may have and
prevent problems as well. For example, ear cleaning can help prevent ear
infections, and a good blow dry can prevent matted fur, which helps more air
get to the dog’s skin. You’ll also be able to be aware of any skin
abnormalities if your dog’s fur is groomed well. Regular teeth brushing can not
only help with bad breath, but can help to prevent future problems with a dog’s
heart and kidneys that can occur if infections are not found and treated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While these are just a few of the ways grooming can be
beneficial to a dog’s health, it’s important to learn more about how to keep
your dog healthy. Ask your vet or pet groomer if there’s anything specific to
your breed or size of dog that you should consider. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The traditional wedding march with the bride walking down
the aisle is still a staple at many weddings, but what’s new at weddings is the
inclusion of pets in the ceremony.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You know what it’s like to feel sick. You ate the wrong
thing, or have a virus that wreaks havoc on your intestines.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Did you know your dog or cat can feel the same way? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our pet kids are important to us, but they can’t always tell
us when they are sick. We need to be tuned in to their normal behavior and
habits in order to know when something is “off” with them. When in doubt, call
your veterinarian and take your canine or feline in for a checkup. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Giardia is a parasite that can live in your pet’s intestines.
It usually happens more in puppies than older dogs, but can happen to any dog or cat.
This parasite is picked up by drinking water or something else that has been
contaminated with feces. If they have this parasite and becomes sick from it,
the disease is called <i>giardiasis</i>,
resulting in diarrhea, weight loss, poor condition and potentially death if not treated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If your pet does have giardiasis, your vet will probably
prescribe medication and a follow-up appointment will be necessary. When the
medication is finished, you’ll want to take the following precautions:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Bathe & rinse your pet (wear gloves & do
the hind end last)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Disinfect food bowls and toys</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Steam clean upholstery and carpeting</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">·<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Disinfect hard surfaces</span></span></li>
</ul>
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because a dog is
contagious while they have Giardia, even as they are going through treatment,
you will want to limit your pet’s contact with other dogs and humans. If your pet attends a group play environment such as dog daycare or dog parks it may be
necessary to keep them home for a few weeks so other dogs are not at risk. </span><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You’ll also want to make sure your other pets, if you have
them, do not also have the parasite.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With proper diagnosis and treatment, your dog or cat should be
feeling better in a couple of weeks and can resume all social activities. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pets are part of the family. But does that mean all family
members should share the same bed?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.akc.org/content/dog-care/articles/rover-move-over-akc-offers-tips-on-sleeping-with-your-pet/">AKC
found</a> that 21% of dog owners let their dogs sleep with them to help keep
them warm. They also learned that those who do let their dogs sleep with them
have less room in bed for themselves because the dog takes up more space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While it can be fun and comforting to cuddle with your pet,
if your dog is taking up more space than you are, you might not be getting as
good a night’s sleep as you should. You also need to be sure that your dog isn’t
carrying any fleas or ticks, or that a small dog won’t be injured. Train your dog early on whether you want them to sleep with you or not ... otherwise they just might start telling you where YOU are going to sleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you decide against letting your dog sleep with you, you
can teach your dog to stay off and go to their own bed. This will take some time,
patience, and plenty of treats. You’ll need to lure your dog to his bed into a
down position, give the bed a name, such as bed, and reward the dog when he
lies down. You can get the <a href="http://www.akc.org/content/dog-training/articles/teaching-your-dog-to-go-to-his-bed/">detailed
instructions</a> from the AKC. This can be helpful in keeping your dog off of
other furniture, as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Make sure though, that your dog’s bed is special for him,
comfortable, and warm, with some great toys, so that he’ll want to go there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Grilled hot dogs and hamburgers. Potato chips. Cold drinks.
Red, white and blue décor. You’ve been busy getting ready for a long 4<sup>th</sup>
of July weekend, but in all the food and event planning, you may have forgotten
one thing: your dog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While we humans love seeing fireworks explode in the sky and
their bright colors trickle down, our pets are not always so happy about them.
While there may be the occasional dog who tries to chase after them, many dogs
are fearful of fireworks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As much as we treat our dogs like family, they are not human
after all, and don’t have the understanding that we do about the temporary
nature of fireworks. Some people think it’s just like a thunderstorm to
dogs, that’s not actually the case. There are weather changes prior to a storm
that can clue a dog in that something different is happening. With fireworks,
it’s very sudden and sporadic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you haven’t acclimated your dog to loud noises when he or
she was a puppy, not all is lost. There are a few things you can try in order to
keep your dog comfortable during fireworks:<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Play loud noises in the days and weeks leading
up to the fireworks.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Act normal with them when they are afraid to
show them they don’t have to stay afraid.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep the dog inside with the TV on to minimize
outside noise.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Play with your dog during the fireworks.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let them go to an area of your home where they
already feel safe and secure.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bring them to Morris Animal Inn for lodging.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whichever you choose, have a safe and happy fourth of July!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A dog well-trained has the freedom to go just about
anywhere; more stores or businesses may allow the dog inside and the dog also
won’t have to be hidden away when company comes to visit. The well-trained dog
knows that <i>you</i> are the leader and
will listen and behave better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">You
are a cat who just caught a toy your person has bought for you. You don’t care
that you are entertainment for them; you just love the thrill of the hunt. And
you know they are happy you aren’t taking this time to knock stuff onto the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Cats have a need to hunt, but with their indoor lifestyle,
amid the cozy blankets and soft places, they often don’t get as much of an
opportunity as they would like to be able to exercise those instincts they
have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The good news is that there are a number of toys—both for
sale and that you can find at home—for cats that will keep them occupied and
interested, such as a wand with feathers, a crumpled paper or foil ball, the
red light of a laser pen (just make sure to not shine it in the cat’s eyes).
Even an empty paper bag after you’ve brought home the groceries is fun for
cats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Remember that there are certain items that are not good for

anything chewable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Another great reason to stimulate your cat with play is
that it is a bonding experience for both of you—and maybe even reduces <i>your</i> boredom as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's usually pretty clear that dogs lick because they like
people; it's their way of being affectionate. There <a href="http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/why-does-my-dog-always-lick-me#0_mm2m3rfj">are
other reasons</a> dogs lick, though, such as prior to feeding from their mom,
asking for a dinner invitation, exploring something, attempting to get
attention, or even a way of playing. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dogs <a href="http://www.akc.org/content/dog-care/articles/why-do-dogs-lick/">may also
lick because</a> they think you taste good! Your taste and scent is familiar to
them, and then if you pet them after they lick you, they are rewarded for it.
However, you should always pay attention if your dog is licking him or herself.
This could signify a medical issue such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, or even allergies.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to <a href="http://www.petmd.com/dog/behavior/why-do-dogs-lick-everything">petmd.com</a>,
licking due to anxiety is similar to nervous habits that humans have such a
biting fingernails or drumming one’s fingers. They interviewed some behavioral
specialists in order to get a better idea about dogs’ nervous licking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dr. Megan Maxwell explains that it can be nervous licking
depending on <i>what</i> and <i>when</i> a dog licks, such as if your dog
always licks something when the doorbell rings or if they consistently lick the
same thing over and over again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regardless of the reason for licking, you might want to keep
a towel handy to wipe up all that slobber.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And no matter how much you love your dog, we don’t recommend
licking him or her back.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Syb6j-o-x-0/WLBU9S3DgaI/AAAAAAAAD1A/5skyupk-Y3MEemHW6r_mlabd9JbjR-C1wCLcB/s1600/kit%2B010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Syb6j-o-x-0/WLBU9S3DgaI/AAAAAAAAD1A/5skyupk-Y3MEemHW6r_mlabd9JbjR-C1wCLcB/s400/kit%2B010.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">We cat owners
know that our cats are intelligent animals, but sometimes we might not be quite
so sure what they are trying to tell us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Does your cat
blink when she’s looking at you? <a href="http://pets.webmd.com/features/cat-body-language">That means she trusts
you</a> enough to close her eyes because she knows she won’t be attacked. She
probably won’t do this if her pupils are very small or very large, though. That
would mean that she’s scared or upset about something. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">You’ll also
know she’s anxious or scared if her tail is tucked down or puffed up—especially
if her ears are flat too. If she’s like this, you may want to leave her alone
for a little while and let her calm down. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once she’s
calm, you may see some signs that she’s in a playful or affectionate mood. Her
tail may be straight up, her ears attentive, or she may even let you rub her
belly. If she’s being extra affectionate, she’ll knead her paws on you and rub
her head on you—</span><a href="https://www.cuteness.com/article/cats-body-language-telling" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">marking you
as her territory</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">And, of
course, there’s the “meow.” Cats meow in many different ways, and have learned
to do this in order to communicate with us; they don’t naturally meow with each
other as a form of communication. <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/cats/tips/cat_communication.html">They
also purr, hiss, growl, chirp, or chatter.</a> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">And what cat
owner doesn’t meow back at their cat, regardless of whether or not we
understand what they are saying?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A recent article in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/11/23/your-dog-is-watching-you-very-carefully-and-remembers-what-you-do/?utm_term=.38b09cdaa939"><i>The Washington Post</i></a><i> </i>reports on research findings that dogs
may have episodic-like memory similar to humans. While they can’t actually know what the dogs
are thinking (after all, <i>The Secret Life
of Pets</i> <b>is</b> only a movie), their research shows that dogs can remember what their humans do even if
the dog doesn’t need to know the action.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The study, published by <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.09.057"><i>Current Biology</i></a>, tested the dogs’ memory by first training the
dogs to “do what I do” and then, after the dogs performed correctly, increased
the time between the action and telling them to do it. Two time intervals were
tested: 1 minute and 1 hour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the dogs memory was better after only one minute (60%
of dogs performed the action) and did decrease after an hour, a number of them
(35%) were still able to recall and perform the action they were initially
taught to imitate. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <i>Washington Post</i>
article quotes study author Claudia Fugazza as saying that most dog owners
probably already realize that their dogs have memories. “What is new and
important” she says, “is that dogs can remember events even if those events do
not seem to be important.”<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Many of us have been there--finding that lone gray hair
that signals to us a change. While we humans associate graying hair with
getting older, in dogs, graying hair can signal loneliness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/23/health/stress-dogs-gray-hair/">recent
article on CNN</a>, the anxiety and stress of being alone can contribute to
dogs' fur turning gray prematurely. Dogs who are anxious, according to the
research cited, may whine or bark when left alone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168159116302775?dgcid=raven_sd_via_email">study</a>
that the article reports on even surprised one of the researchers. The <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-dogs-gray-hair-stress-met-20161230-story.html">Chicago
Tribune</a> reports that Northern Illinois University professor Thomas Smith
was skeptical at first, but once the data was collected, he saw how stressed
dogs were prematurely gray. It was also found that female dogs were more likely
to gray than male dogs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The dogs in the study were from the ages of one to four.
Pet owners with dogs in this age range who might be concerned about their dog’s
level of anxiety can check with their veterinarian or a dog trainer to help
alleviate the anxiety. Other suggestions are to not leave the dog alone for so
long each day—Perhaps a dog daycare provider that can provide the dog with care
and attention. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dogs are often not only great companions, but a big part
of a family, and need care just like humans do. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

when they take a stroll? Now you can follow them, without disrupting their
walk. The PawTrack takes positions every six minutes as your cat roams. This information is stored on the cat
tracking collar and uploaded to the server. The information can then be viewed
on any internet-enabled device or computer.
This GPS tracker is able to track multiple cats and can give images on
google maps including street view. You
can also set boundaries for your cat and will be alerted when your cat wanders
outside of these areas. You will receive
alerts when the collar’s battery level has reached critical, so you’ll never
have to worry about not being able to track. </span><a href="http://pawtrack.com/"><span style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248); letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 107%;">http://pawtrack.com/</span></a><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248); letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

phone. You can also use a special accessory that allows your pet to call you.
Pet Chatz makes it seem like the time away from your pets is a little shorter. </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://petchatz.com/">https://petchatz.com/</a></span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.2px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your dog is more friendly with people than other dogs, that's okay. There are many reasons why this could be the case. Perhaps your dog didn't socialize with other dogs at a young age. If this is the case, they could be overwhelmed or afraid of them. OR maybe your dog did socialize with other dogs but the play style was very different than how he/she would like to play. </span></span></div>
