    Episode 09: This Episode I will discuss safety precautions for your pets in the summer, plus areas and ideas to take your pet when enjoying the outdoors. Also I will provide resources for pet owners that are experiencing financial hardship caring for their pet during these times. In Q&A I will answer the question: Why do dogs constantly circle prior to handling their "business". The Feature Pet of the Episode is Cleo. A re-feature of Feature Pet of the Episode. Cleo is a laidback kitty that is still looking for a forever home.

    Q&A:
    Why do Dogs Circle Before They Handle "Business"? 3 Theories:
    1. The wolf Ancestor, circled to pat down the grass making it easier to release and make less of a mess.
    2. They leave behind their pheromones for other dogs.
    3. They align themselves to the magnetic fields of the North-South directional pull.

    Episode 14:  I will discuss the myths of petcare practices. Is it okay to crate my dog? Is it okay to declaw my cat? How about docking my dog's ears? Some of these questions are a bit taboo, but I will answer all of these myths and truths regarding what is the best practice. Q&A: This episode I will answer How old is my dog..really?

    Q&A:
    How to determine a dog's age:
    1st year of a dog= 15 dog years
    2nd year of a dog= 9 more dog years (24)
    After each human year, add about 5 dog years*
         Ex:  -3 years= 29 dog years
                 -4 years=34 dog years
    *This is an approximation estimate

Q&A time; I'll be answering question, Why does my dog bark obsessively? Plus I reveal an exciting partnership with one of our favorite Rescues!
    Here's The Scooper:
    Brewski's Barkhouse, Alexandria, VA

    All the Fluff:
    Raw food for cats and dogs as a first option. Include raw meaty bones for dogs.
    When shopping for store bought food read the label:
    Cats: 52% Crude protein, 46% fat, 2% carbs
    Dogs: Grain free, meat as 1st ingredient, veggies as 2nd, carbs at the bottom of the list, vitamins and amino acids
    *Do not buy food with Corn, animal bi-products, soy, wheat and fillers

    Q&A:
    Use a calm, firm voice. Be patient and consistent. Use the phrase quiet and reward when dog isn't barking. Over time the dog will understand. Exercise your dog regularly. Provide toys, chew toys and puzzles. Provide a dog walker/companion and send dog to dog care a couple days a week to aid with anxiety. Block windows, doors and outdoor sights for dogs to reduce barking. Create a sitting/waiting space for your dog when guests enter your home.
