pet safety for fall & beyond by cody mitzelfelt

1 HSCI Paw Prints – Winter 2019

Fall and Winter can bring a lot of changes to many homes, and that’s why it’s important to make sure that any adjustments you make cater to your furry friends as well! Whether getting your car ready with antifreeze or girding up your home against encroaching pests, it’s vital to place these heavily-toxic chemicals where you’re sure pets can’t get to. If leaving out traps or poisons for pests, be very mindful of the placement and how curious your animals can be – with pets who can get into anything, you should maybe consider looking into pet-safe pest solutions. Stay wary of holiday treats as well - even a single misplaced chocolate or raisin could have dire effects on your four-legged best friend. Table scraps are often terrible for pets as well, especially high-fat foods, cooked bones, food with garlic or onions, cranberries, raisins, chocolates, grapes, uncooked dough, some nuts (including macadamia and walnuts), coffee, and anything containing the artificial sweetener xylitol. Some holiday decorations can hold unique and life-threatening temptations to pets as well. Tinsel, while pretty, can pose a big problem

As the leaves fall off trees and shrubs, you also need to attend to branches that poke into your yard. Bare branches can pose dangers to pets as they run, endangering their eyes, mouths, and other sensitive parts of their bodies, so just give those stray twigs a trim and rest a little easier, while your furry friend gets some well-deserved yard time! With days getting shorter, and temperatures getting colder, accommodations do have to be made for

your pets’ routines as well. Reflective clothing and walking gear should be used this time of year for both your pet’s safety and your own, as morning and evening walks often take place in the dark, and motorists need to be aware of any pedestrians (or pawdestrians) that may be around. Depending on the weather and your pet’s fur, booties, sweaters, and other warm gear may be advisable, not just as a fashion statement, but as valuable protection against the elements. Let’s all do our best this Fall and Winter to not only stay warm, but stay safe too!

PET SAFETY FOR FALL & BEYOND By Cody Mitzelfelt

for many animals, but this goes beyond the occasional annoyance of holiday playtime. Remnants of tinsel are often eaten by pets, potentially leading to serious intestinal blockages that may cause death in severe, unnoticed cases. Holly plants, poinsettias, mistletoe, amaryllis, and lilies are also toxic to pets as well, so opt for silk or plastic versions when you can. Now for yard work: any homeowner knows that Fall can be one of the most intense yardwork seasons, but what some pet-owners may be unaware of is that there can be some additional outdoor chores to be aware of. Berries, mushrooms, seeds, pits, fruits, and leaves should all be cleaned out of your yard, as some can potentially poison pets or at least cause digestive issues.

With Fall and Winter well under way, its time to make sure your home, yourself, and your pets are all set for the coming months.

ALPHA•NOTESIt’s hard to believe, but the holidays are here again. Sometimes, it seems like fall keeps getting shorter and shorter with fewer nice

days to leisurely walk the dog before winter hits. Thank you to all who came out to our 9th annual auction and gala at the end of September. We hope you liked the new and different format, along with the entertainment. It was a great night to socialize and raise funds for the many needy pets in McLean County. Since it is the holiday season, don’t forget to check out the wonderful cookie trays that we have available. As always, we are blessed to have a talented group of bakers providing these trays to you for purchase. Also, we will also be conducting our Home For the Holidays campaign to raise funds for general and medical care for our many shelter pets. This has become a valuable fundraiser for us and, as always, we thank you for your generosity.Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It’s a DIY Holiday!

by Cody Mitzelfelt

Most people can agree that food is the best part of the holidays – and most pet owners can agree that one of the most unfair parts of the holi-days is not being able to share that food with their most loyal and furry family members! That’s why we’ve pulled together some great holiday DIY recipes, so dogs and cats can enjoy holiday treats almost as much as you.

Cats: Holiday Tuna Cookies (from pawesomecats.com) Total Time: 10-15 mins prep + 10-12 mins cooking = 20-27 mins totalServings: 30-40 treats Ingredients: • 1 cup canned tuna in oil• 1 cup rice or oat flour• 1 egg• 1 tablespoon dried catnip• Extra virgin olive oil (if needed)• Baking sheet Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F Step 2: Drain tuna and mix with rice/oat flour, egg, and catnip until thoroughly combined – if mixture is dry, add olive oil Step 3: Roll dough into ½ tea-spoon sized balls, place on baking sheet, and flatten with a spoon. If desired, use a commercial stencil to press holiday shapes into top of biscuitStep 4: Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes until dry and slightly gold-en.

TRAINER TALK A Two-Way Street by Bob Ryder

It’s music to my ears when clients tell me, “It’s really we humans who need the training.” Of course we do train dogs for the skills needed to get along peacefully in human society. But if humans don’t understand how their dogs process information and adjust their own behavior, nothing is going to change after I leave.

The human perspective needed for living peacefully with dogs begins with acknowledging that dogs are inherently high-maintenance. This isn’t a flaw or a deficit, just a by-product of evolution. Much of what we adore about dogs coincides with their dependence on us to provide for virtually all their needs.

As they evolved from wolves, dogs became increasingly attuned to living near, understanding, and cooperating with prehistoric humans. Now dogs range from tiny teacup breeds like Yorkshire Terriers and Pomeranians to enormous Mastiffs and Great Danes. They can run agility courses, sniff out bombs, drugs, cancer, and household pests, warn us of danger, chase and subdue criminals, find lost possessions and people, assist with chores, herd cattle, and provide emotional support – just for starters!

Of all animals, none can relate with humans nearly as well as dogs. Even our closest primate relatives (such as chimpanzees and bonobos) can’t communicate with us at the same level of fluency as dogs can. The trade off for this glorious set of skills is that dogs need a generous amount of our time and attention, LOTS of physical and mental exercise, and opportunities to do “dog activities” like sniffing, chasing, digging, romping, problem solving, and bonding with people and other dogs – all the dog-type stuff that provides a sense of control over their environment and a chance just to be themselves.

These requirements aren’t optional, and our dogs’ efforts to obtain them aren’t rebellious or attempts to usurp “alpha status.” Adopting a dog is a decision to enter into a high maintenance relationship that requires a LOT of time and effort on our parts. Sure, it can be tiring and even challenging at times, but that’s the nature of rewarding relationships, and the rewards to be had from a thoughtful, committed relationship with our dogs are priceless!
