You’ve undoubtedly seen these bumper stickers. This clever slogan was coined in recognition of how much richer the lives of people become when they provide a second chance and forever home to an animal that needs both. You give the gift of a loving, safe home to an animal that needs one and in return you get a lifetime of loyalty and love. The uncondi-tional love you get back from a rescued dog or cat is one of the greatest things you can experience.

As if that isn’t enough, it’s also been proven that there are countless health benefits to pet ownership. Yes, plenty of research has been done and it’s official-ly undeniable that pet parents are healthier and are less stressed than people who don’t own pets.

Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets can increase fitness, lower stress, and bring happiness to their owners. Some of the docu-mented health benefits of having a pet includes:

• Decreased blood pressure• Decreased cholesterol levels• Decreased triglyceride levels• Decreased feelings of loneliness• Increased opportunities for exercise and out-

door activities• Increased opportunities for socialization

Growing up with pets can even minimize the risk of developing allergies. Dog owners in particular tend to be more physically active and thus, have lower risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. If they do happen to already have those conditions, having a dog can help them get more active and decrease their stress levels too.

Owning a dog actually increases opportunities to socialize because the common interest of loving and caring for a dogs brings people together. More social

contact between canine-loving individuals strength-ens socialization within neighborhoods! Every body wins!

Not just dogs, but all kinds of pets can ease and prevent stress.

Here is the well-deserved shout out to felines, who are just as beneficial to your health as dogs. Accord-ing to Dr. Marty Becker DVM and author of Your Dog: The Owner’s Manual, if you have a cat, you’re 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack, and you’re 40 percent less likely to have a cardiovascular incident such as a stroke. So if you don’t already have a cat and want to increase your odds, head on over to the MVFR in Salisbury or MSPCA in Methuen, and the nice folks at either location will happily introduce you to your perfect match.

The love of an animal can even ease physical pain. One study from Loyola University found that people who use pet therapy while recovering from surgery may need significantly less pain medication than those who do not.

There is a reason pets are used in various forms of therapy. We know that pets help senior citizens feel less isolated and help children feel less anxious. People with mental conditions like anxiety and PTSD and people with social awkwardness all benefit from having a pet. This is why the emergence of Emo-tional Support Animals – not to be confused with Service Animals - is growing so much in popularity and recognition. Here is a bit on both.

Service Animals

Under Title III of the federal Americans with Disabili-ties Act (ADA) and virtually all state laws, a service animal is an animal that has been trained to perform specific work or tasks for the benefit of a person with a medical disability. The law requires public accom-modations to allow service animals to accompany their owners anywhere the owners can go.

FYI, restaurants, theatres, stores, health care facilities, airlines, housing providers and other public accom-

modations, are only allowed to ask two questions to determine if an animal is a service animal: (1) Do you need the animal because of a disability? and (2) What work or tasks has this animal been trained to perform? An interesting fact is that there are only two kinds of service animals: dogs and miniature horses.

Emotional Support Animals

Emotional support animals or ESA’s (also called therapy or comfort animals) have not been trained to perform work or tasks. Instead, they provide a benefit just by being present. ESAs can be any com-mon domestic animal including dogs, cats, or ferrets and more. To qualify, the animal must be reasonably well behaved by typical pet standards, and can’t be a nuisance or danger to others. Although they are not service animals, people with ESAs do have certain rights in terms of things like housing and air travel – but they must have a letter from their healthcare provider stating that they are being treated for a disabling condition and that their emotional support animals improve or benefit some component of the disability. To legally be considered an emotional support animal, the pet needs to be prescribed by a licensed mental health professional.

We animal lovers understand that pets save lives in different ways. In addition to the better health and more enriched life that having a pet can bring, animals help their people of any age learn about responsibility, loyalty, empathy, sharing, and uncon-ditional love. Who Rescued

978-465-1322We are a law firm for pet owners based on the Northshore; we travel to all cities and towns in the state and even to some around the country. I already know your question and will answer it in ten lines or less: ‘Why would anyone need a dog lawyer?’

Pet Custody: When your ex-mate decides that she wants to keep the pet after the breakup, you need a dog lawyer.

Dangerous Dogs: When animal control comes knocking to take your dog who may have bitten someone, you need a dog lawyer.

Wrongful Pet Injury and Death: When a groomer, dog walker or veterinarian harmed your cat, dog or horse then of course, you need a dog lawyer.

Service/Support Animals: Not being allowed to have your emotional support animal in your new apart-ment, there’s a lawyer for that now. We argue and battle to redefine the value of a pet and to modern-ize the way our laws and courts address pet owner-ship issues.

Presently we have our paws crossed on a few cases that will be in the news. We are trying to get justice

for Brooklyn the Chihuahua, who was killed when a well know extermination company spread illegal bait traps in her house. We have sued an interna-tional animal health company for Logan the Husky Mix who died from a side-effect from one of their medications that was known to exist but not shared with her owner.

Ben the Golden will be avenged when we make the boarding facility take responsibility for allowing him to be mauled to death under their watch. We have taken on an animal clinic for using chemicals to clean around Lilly the Westie after which she burned her paws, her tongue and her lungs. Soon we will be battling for Bob the Plott hound who was electro-cuted on a sidewalk in Southie.

In all of these cases we have tried to resolve them informally. Some pet businesses just don’t like to be held accountable. They have survived for decades going under the radar believing that since a pet is still considered property, they will not be punished in the purse. Those days are coming to an end. There are more ways than money to compensate pet owners.

At Boston Dog Lawyers the key to our momentum is passion. We are a growing team of lawyers, veteri-narians, trainers, students and pet parents who just want to protect our dogs and cats. Our pets become our routine. Their love for us is predictable and consistent. The language we develop with them is unique and based as much on learned facial expres-sions, eye movements and head nods as it is on words and commands. When someone harms them or tries to take them from us we fight for them not as though they are tables or televisions or cars; we fight for them because they are family members. At Boston Dog Lawyers, when your family is bothered, our family is bothered. Your anger, fear or sadness becomes our anger, fear and sadness. We rely on our passion to convert those emotions into sharp ar-guments and winning strategies. As we amass more followers and supporters, Boston will not only have to make way for ducklings.

What is a Boston Dog Lawyer? By Jeremy Cohen – Pet Attorney with Boston Dog Lawyers

Just like with people, dog’s have different foods they like. However, just like with people, we cannot exist on Doritos and Coke and maintain health. If you pay attention, your dog will tell you what they need, not just what they like. Many people see a dog eating grass and assume it’s sick. Well, in a way that’s true. The dog knows it needs vegetable proteins, amino acids, and fiber. When I see my dogs eating more than their usual amount of grass, I up their vegetable intake (usually dark, leafy greens).

Due to the lack of natural vitamins and miner-als found in today’s food options, I also include a multi-vitamin at mealtime. It is important to note that hypervitaminosis (poisoning due to ingesting EXCESSIVE vitamins) is more common than hypovi-taminosis (vitamin deficiency). So unless your dog is off of commercial food entirely, skip the vitamin.

The most common question that everyone has, whether or not they cook for their dog or use com-mercial dog foods, is “How much should I feed my dog?” Again, as with people, every dog is different

and has different energy requirements. It has to do with the size, age, and breed of dog. The following chart is a basic guideline (and one that I follow).

Dog Weight (lb) Calories to Consume 5 210 10 350 20 590 30 800 50 1200 60 1400 70 1500 80 1700 90 1820 100 1960

It is important to note that this is for the dog with an average activity level. The following exceptions should be noted:

• Puppiesx2-2.5• Pregnantdogsx1.5• Lactationx3-4

• Workingdogsx1.5• Elderlydogsx.75

Finally we have the important list of foods to avoid. Of course if your dog has allergies, consult your vet for their dietary restrictions and add them to this list.

1. Chocolate2. Caffeine3. Grapes and raisins4. Macadamia nuts5. Mushrooms6. Onions 7. Citrus oil extracts

As always, if you have a question or concern about what your dog should or can eat, consult your vet or a canine nutritionist.

As spring approaches it is not uncommon to be walking your dog in your neighborhood and hear the following: “Is it ok if my dog says, ‘Hi’?” With your dog on her leash, what happens next is up to you. With a little planning and knowledge, you can make dog-dog greetings a positive experience for your dog and help to expand her social world.

Many dogs enjoy the company of other dogs. Hav-ing a multi-dog household is not always an option, but allowing your dog to have other dog friends is the next best thing to promote healthy social be-havior in your dog. When introduced properly and slowly, dogs can happily and safely interact together.

There are some things to keep in mind when intro-ducing your dog to another dog. You should pay close attention to the body language of both dogs throughout the introduction process. These body signals will tell you how the dogs are feeling about the interaction and whether or not to proceed to the next step.

Great places to learn about dog body language are: https://doggonesafe.com/Learn-to-Speak-Dog-Cam-

paign or https://www.livingwithkidsanddogs.com/learn. You should be familiar with signs of stress or conflict in your dog and others before you start to introduce your dog to another.

Tips for Success:• If one dog is more nervous or fearful than the

other dog, the interaction should proceed at a pace that the nervous or fearful dog is comfort-able with.

• If either dog is uncomfortable at any point in the introduction, separate the dogs immediately.

Step 1: It is always a good idea to introduce two new dogs for the first time in a neutral environment such as a field or park where dogs are allowed. If pos-sible, have them sniff each other through a chain link fence so that they are kept safe but allowed to move around as they please. It is important to keep each dog’s leash as loose as possible whenever interacting with another dog. Tension on the leash can create tension in the dog, quickly escalating the situation.

If either dog becomes tense, stiff or still, if the hair above the base of the tail or over the shoulders is raised, or if either dog growls or barks, call both dogs in opposite directions away from the fence. If either dog shows any of these behaviors, they are probably not a good match for each other and the introduc-tion should not proceed. If both dogs show more loose, relaxed body language (a loose, wagging tail, relaxed muscles around the dog’s ears, eyes and mouth, the dog’s body moving loosely from side to side), proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Next, the two dogs should walk together, both on leash. Walk closely enough that the dogs can see and smell each other but far enough away that they each have their own space. You might be-gin your walk with your dog on one side of the street and the second dog on the other side of the street. Again, try your best to keep each dog’s leash as loose as possible. If they are showing interest in meeting each other, allow them to gradually walk alongside each other, but try to keep the momentum moving

forward. If both dogs appear loose and comfortable, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Start in a location where there is a secure fence so you can progress through this step and eventually allow the dogs some freedom to interact. Great places would include, a fenced yard, a public tennis court or baseball field (off season when not in use) or a dog park area so long as there are no other off lead dogs present.

Begin with the dogs walking alongside each other. Once both dogs appear loose and comfortable, al-low them to interact with each other while standing in place. Calmer dogs may sniff each other’s faces, or circle around each other and sniff each other’s hind end. More energetic dogs may become playful, play-bowing and jumping up toward or on each other. Remember to keep the leashes loose as much as possible. As the dogs move around each other, it is likely that the two leashes will become entangled. Move with your dog so that you are always behind him, and try your best to keep both leashes free from each other so that the dogs can be separated if nec-essary. Do not allow one dog to stand with his front

feet placed on the other dog. Pay close attention to each dog’s body language. If either dog becomes tense, stiff or still, if the hair above the base of the tail or over the shoulders is raised, or if either dog growls or barks, call and guide both dogs in opposite direc-tions away from each other. keep this initial interac-tion short (between 5-10 seconds), even if they seem to be getting along. This will help both dogs from becoming over-aroused and will give them both a break.

Step 4: If the face-to-face meeting goes well, repeat Step 3 and gradually increase the amount of time you allow the dogs to interact with each other. If they are getting along well, drop their leashes (if you are in a safely enclosed space as described above) and allow them to have more freedom to run and play. keep their leashes clipped on and dragging so that you can easily pick up the leashes and separate the dogs if needed. Remember to make the dogs take breaks by calling them away from each other and holding onto their leashes for a minute or two if necessary. Even if they are getting along well, taking breaks will help prevent them from becoming over-aroused. Some dogs may prefer to simply be near the other dog without much play. Others may

avoid the other dog or keep their distance without showing any aggressive behavior. Never force dogs to interact with each other.

Introducing two dogs to each other with a well thought out plan will help reduce overall tension and stress in both dogs. By providing a structured outlet for your dog’s social tendencies, you will be helping to enrich the life of your dog in a positive way.

The MSPCA at Nevins Farm Animal Behavior and Training Department offers a wide variety of group classes which help dogs and their owners learn skills like self-control and how to greet properly.

Hummm- first let’s define what the once esoteric, woo-woo, only for those crystal ball, granola crunching, natural hemp wearing, non-mainstream folks seemed to be into, actually is. Reiki is the universal life energy force that exists in every living being, including the plant-spirit world. All of us possess the potential to transfer this healing energy to every aspect of our live, living or non-cellular things, like a candle or pillow. The practice of transferring Reiki was in-troduced about 100 years ago. This revolutionary way of channeling energy for wellness was the life mission of Dr. Usui. Some of us practitioners, including myself, have been called to his mis-sion of transferring the healing touch of Reiki. It is our birthright & not separate from us, on the contrary it is us! Naturally the animal world, who are still attuned to survival vibration, are more intuitive than humans. This is indisputable. For example, recently I was in the Post Office and while the postal lady and I were interacting, a special assistance dog appeared and started licking her right hand. I inquired about the dog, and she informed me that this was her special assistant dog who could sense when her insulin was rising & was trained to lick her right hand as a warning. She checked her monitor & sure enough, she was in danger!

I was incredulous. There are countless miracle stories of pets saving their owners from tragedies with their incredible intuitive scenes. Naturally, Reiki resonates as a healing modal-ity for the animal world since their heightened vibrational perception of surroundings already allows access. Amazingly now, the above description of Holistic Health & Wellness practices are the mainstream way for higher conscious seeking folks looking to live as organic & chemical free as possible. Most now include their beloved four legged friends as “part of the family”, and give the same detail to pet health & wellness as their 2 legged family.

Hence, the growing awareness of how potent the healing hands of Reiki are for our beloved family pets.

On a personal level, I have always had a pro-found & personal relationship to the animal kingdom from my first beagle/ hound dog Cinda (named after Cinderella) who would “honor” me every spring with a baby bunny on my doorstep, and I would cry for weeks…

My home; a full fledged funny farm which included three children, a pony , 5 dogs, (one of which a wolf-hound) 2 mischievous escape

artist goats, numerous & various strays, as well as anything that could fit through the cat door. I am an established, experienced caregiver for the animal world.

Therefore, I did not expect the results of Reiki on my beloved independent, barn born black cat Poppy. She is fiercely protective of her personal boundaries & has never allowed anyone to pick her up, nor has she longed to “snuggle”. It’s actu-ally a family joke that we love because she gently reminds us, tooth and claw, if we try to get too affectionate and we acknowledge that she is not that kind of lady.

The game changer came this summer as I suf-fered a life threatening illness and she did not leave my bedside as I was recovering. She slept with her head gently on my iv & escorted me through my slow procession back to the living world. Along the way I would lay my hand on her to thank her for her presence. The change in her personality has been profound. She now longs for her morning awakening ritual of Reiki, as she cuddles, against me, absolutely unheard of in our past!

This discovery led me to understand how ben-eficial Reiki is to our four legged family members

& research is backing this up. Our beloved pets are uniquely and natu-rally equipped to receive & benefit from a healing touch. Reiki is known to calm an anxious yippy condition, alleviate separation anxiety, (so we can take our much needed sunny warm winter vacations) & nurture those who have a extended day at doggie day care. When you simply don’t know what is happening in their world, the healing touch is a soothing, restorative balm, enabling our beloved friends to experience the same peace & healing a great yoga or meditation class gives to us. As much love & devotion our four leggeds lavish on us, why wouldn’t we want them to experience the only healing modality that truly

meets them where they vibrate, on a energetic and healing touch level.

This summer, the MSPCA at Nevins Farm will be celebrating as we host our thirtieth year of our popular Children’s Summer Camp!

For the past three decades, young animal lovers have been spending a week of their summer with us learning lessons of kindness and com-

passion for animals while making new friends. Each summer, more than 350 campers (partici-pating in one week sessions) work alongside MSPCA staff to care for and socialize the cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, goats and more that tem-porarily call Nevins Farm their home – and take breaks from their hard work to listen to guest

speakers, play games, do arts and crafts and just have a good time! Many children return to camp year after year to explore different curric-ulums, and we’re now beginning to see children of former young campers coming to enjoy the magic and wonder of camp that their parents experienced. The lessons learned while at Sum-mer Camp are lifelong: helping children to de-velop empathy and a sense of justice, increase their understanding of personal responsibility for animals, people, and the environment, and become motivated to make a positive differ-ence in the world.

Indeed, the impact of these lifelong lessons is never clearer as we receive letter after letter from parents whose children attended camp. One testimonial recently crossed our desk from Rebecca, who wrote “My six year old learned SO much in the short week at camp. She learned about pitching in, how to care for animals and safety too. My daughter loved being a part of the camp and came home proud (and ex-hausted) each day. This is such a great learning experience for children of any age.”

The Nevins Summer Camp is just one of a full suite of humane education programs available for children ages birth to 15 at the MSPCA at Nevins Farm; all designed to help shape and inform the next generation of advocates for animals and to continue to make our commu-nity a kinder and more compassionate place to live for all species. Please join us in celebration of thirty years of shaping young minds – and here’s to thirty more!
