Fourth of July Pet Safety



While you may be counting down to fireworks and barbeques on the Fourth of July, these exciting activities can be scary or even dangerous for your pet. As tempting as it may be to bring your pet along to celebrate this summer holiday, the American Kennel Club(AKC) advises against exposing pets to the rockets’ red glare.

In order to help your pet stay safe and calm during your Independence Day festivities, AKC suggests keeping your dog at home rather than bringing them along to your neighborhood party. The noise and reverberation from fireworks can be frightening to dogs, not to mention painful for their sensitive ears. Keeping your pet indoors will help dull the noise. Leave the television or radio on for calm sounds to help drown out the outdoor bangs and booms.

You can help stem the visual stimulation as well by lowering blinds and curtains and, if your pet is crate trained, keeping them in their crate and covering it with a blanket to help them feel more secure. The biggest security blanket, however, is you! If your pet seems nervous, spend some time relaxing with them. Your lack of fear and calm voice will help assure pups that they can feel comfortable.

If you are hosting the celebrations or do decide to bring your pet along, do your best to keep their environment as normal as possible. Avoid feeding your dog any BBQ scraps. Although it may be tempting to give in to a mooching pooch, any change in their diet can lead to an upset stomach and more stress. 



Don’t let your pet ingest any out of the ordinary substances. Human bug spray and sunscreen can be dangerous for pets, as can other celebratory products like matches and lighter fluid.

As a final safety precaution, having your dog microchipped with a permanent ID can help you find your pet should they get nervous and hide or run away. Talk with your vet about preparing for this situation and any specific concerns you may have during this busy holiday.

Jumping Kelly

FitDog Friday, co-hosted by Peggy's Pet Place, Slimdoggy, and To Dog With Love! Let's all be fit dogs!








Can a senior dog be a fit dog? Kelly thinks so! She's 11 years old and still pretty spry for her age. She doesn't chase tennis balls, but that's because she's a girly-girl and doesn't like to fetch. But she loves to run, play tug and other games, and she adores jumping. Just watch!



Sometimes she gets a little too much oomph into her jump.




*While we're here, I'd also like to ask for your vote for Dogtime's Petties for my blog post after losing Brooks. We got a little support on that front from PetSmart Charities. Look what they posted on their Facebook Page!

Get Your K9 Kamp Blogger Awards Here!


Here's to the Kampers...Hip Hip Hooray! Here's to everyone who participated in K9 Kamp!! Thank you for the great times, great posts. We hope you had fun getting fit with your pup.  And here's to awards!!




















1. Awards!!  Check out these awesome bloggers and see what they won...We have half the K9 Kamp Awards here, and to see the other half, please visit Kol's Notes.

















Rita--Pooch Smooches
Walking not only was good fitness, but at times it took courage, especially with stick-wielding menaces on the beach. But Rita showed exemplary bravery!

















Rocco--To Dog With Love
Kutest Kindergartener Rocco not only practiced for agility, but had fun playing crate games and just enjoying life too!


















Sampson and Delilah-- Heart Like a Dog
If all eight paws had pedometers, how many miles would these kampers have walked? We know it was enough to win this award!


















Tavish- I Still Want More Puppies
Maybe it's because his mom likes puns, but Tavish must have inherited the ability to make us laugh. He was always up for fun and games.


















 Snoopy--Snoopy's Dog Blog
We were tempted to hand out the award for Best Hairdo, but we think that this award reflects Snoopy's stylish flowing locks as well as his love of running!


















Jack--Slimdoggy
A yellow lab who likes kettlebells and wears his own weighted vest for workouts? Now Jack is one buff pup.


















 Sugar--Sugar the Golden Retriever
Purple-pawed Sugar is the perfect example of how age doesn't have to slow you down. From swimming to running, Sugar is one active and fit golden!


















Gizmo--Terrier Torrent
Gizmo likes to walk, but he doesn't stop there. He's sniffing around and finding more creative ways to work out, get fit, and have a great time!


Because we think you were ALL so pawsome.....this one's for all of you who participated, put in some extra time getting fit and bonding with your dog! Feel free to display it on your blog with pride :)


 













2.  And did you see that cool prize package? We drew the winner last night--Congratulations to SHARON GILBERT for winning the K9 Kamp prize package!  Schooner and Skipper will have a great time playing with the LED Glowing fetch ball and all the other goodies!

Schooner and Skipper are both generally healthy, but Schooner put on a bit of weight. Skipper and Sharon have been the best cheer team helping him slim down by swimming, a great low impact exercise. Even when the weather kept them out of the pool, they got in the K9 Kamp spirit by playing indoor games, like throwing the ball down the stairs and racing to get it. 













We want to take a moment to thank our fantastic K9 Kamp sponsors!

Without sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to offer any prizes, much less a prize package worth more than $200 and filled with awesome things like:
Let’s hear a big K9 Kamp Yip! Yip! Hooray for our K9 Kamp sponsors EzyDog, NiteIze and Only Natural Pet Supply!

3. What do you think?  Kelly and Koly would be woofin' for joy if you'd take a few moments to click on the following link to take our survey and tell us what you liked, and how we can improve. Thank You!!
http://form.jotform.co/form/31755865137866

 4. The next K9 Kamp is in OCTOBER so we hope you'll come back and join us again! In the meantime, check out the Keeping Up with K9 Kamp mini challenges at You Did What With Your Wiener-- the first challenge is on FitDog Friday, July 5th. See you there.











5. Thank you to co-hosts Jodi and Kol for another great Kamp!

I'm so excited, my whiskers are really out of control!

Tasty Tuesday- Fromm Treats

Chewy asked us if we'd like to review some treats by Fromm...well woof yes! Kelly chose Fromm Grain Free Liver Treats.























Some reasons why we like these Fromm treats:

*Made in the USA- important for product quality and safety

*1 calorie per treat--good for keeping our trim figures

*There are only four ingredients in these treats, and I've heard of them all! Wheat flour, fresh chicken livers, salt, garlic powder

Kelly likes most food and treats, but I can say that she was CRAZY over these! She could barely wait through the obligatory photo session.
































We give Fromm Liver Treats a 5 WAG rating! Check them out at Chewy.com.
















*Chewy.com supplied us with one bag of Fromm Liver treats in exchange for our honest review. The opinions here are 100% my own.

4 Frosty Paws travel packs Giveaway!

We love bringing Kelly along on hikes, picnics and other summer outings. That's because everything's more fun with a dog involved. To help celebrate summer (And Frosty's birthday) Frosty Paws® Frozen Treats for Dogs has offered us some great picnic gear to giveaway!*  Dog not included ;)





















Each summer travel pack includes:


*insulated backpack
*cool stainless steel pet water bottle
*pop-up treat bowl
*insulated food container
*doggy waste bag dispenser filled with bags
*Frosty Paws frozen snacks (1 pkg) VIP coupon
[Total ARV $64.99]

Frosty the Frosty Paws dog is going on a road trip, so that's why he selected these items special for all over pups who like to hit the road and get out for some summer fun! He knew just what to include to help make sure your trip is full of the things you love. Well, I LOVE ice cream, and Kelly enjoys a Frosty Paws as a cool treat, fortified with protein, vitamins and minerals with no added sugar, artificial flavors or colors.

This set is pawsome. The backpack is roomy and insulated with lots of zippers and handy pockets, one of which holds a tall stainless steel water bottle that features a stainless steel roller ball that releases water when your dog licks it...you just hold it up and your dog can get a drink, no need to pour it into any other container. If you prefer, however, the top unscrews so that you can serve it in a bowl as well. The food container is neat because it has gel in between the layers and you can freeze it, and it will keep your picnic food cold and fresh! I bet it could even hold one of your free Frosty Paws! Then, the little crescent shaped thing unzips into a handy treat bowl. And of course you need the poo bags and dispenser no matter where you go.

What’s Your Pet Thinking? Pet Psychics Aim to Provide Answers



It happens to every pet owner. Your dog pulled the curtains off the window, your cat won’t come out from under the couch, or your new puppy has a thing for eating bugs. All that crazy pet behavior leaves you looking into their innocent eyes and asking yourself, “What on earth are they thinking?”

According to today’s Pet Psychics, we just might be able to find out.


Heidi Schulman is a part of the growing profession of pet psychics, people who work to bring pet owners closer to their animals by communicating directly with their pets. Whether or not this telepathic communication can deliver real answers is a matter of opinion and belief, but the prospect of gaining insight into your pet’s psyche is certainly tempting for many pet owners.

A recent Huffington Post “Weird News” article on the subject explained that for Schulman, the inspiration began with her rescue dog, Bosco. She said that she could sense a nonverbal communication between herself and her dog, and found herself wondering what he would say if he could talk. The result was “The Original Dog Tarot: Divine the Canine Mind,” a guidebook and series of 30 tarot cards for helping pet owners communicate with their dogs.

Pet psychics throughout the country describe their abilities in many different ways, from tarot card readings to, as “The Secret Language of Dogs” author Jocelyn Kessler says, communicating energetically with the canine or feline mind. Sonya Fitzpatrick, another pet psychic who hosts a popular radio show on Sirius XM, says that clients can call for telephone consultations or even reach out to her for help finding a lost pet.

Like many psychic professions, this one has its skeptics. Veterinarian Jeff Nichol, referenced in a Washington Post story on pet psychics, warns against turning to nontraditional methods for treating your pet’s behavior or health problems. 

But what about just for fun? Would you try a tarot reading or pet psychic with your pet? 

We can’t claim to read a dog’s mind, but we can advise pet owners on how to read the nonverbal signals your dog displays. Keep reading “If They Could Talk” for weekly tips on working with your pet, and feel free to explore our previous posts for advice on reading dog body language

How to Welcome a New Cat into Your Home

Are you about to introduce a new cat into your family home? If you are it is a good idea to make sure you are prepared. This article will help ensure you are, and the introduction is a happy one for both you and your cat.

While many people consider getting a kitten, other people give a home to a cat. This could be a stray cat or an abandoned cat that is looking for a new home. If you find yourself with an opportunity to adopt a cat you would do well to ensure you are prepared to welcome them into your home.

The first thing to remember is that the cat may have had bad experiences with other owners prior to coming to you. Don't expect too much from the cat to begin with, but let it know it has a home and that it doesn't need to feel scared.

Oftentimes it is best to bring the cat into your home in a carrier and just to open the door and let it come out in its own time. It can also be a good idea to restrict its movements to just one or two rooms initially. He will soon want to come out and explore, but giving him the run of the house might be too much to cope with to begin with.

Make sure you are prepared in other ways as well. For example you should buy some cat bowls for water and food, and invest in good quality food such as Purina cat food too. Purina en cat food is well balanced and will ensure your new addition is on a good diet from the beginning of his life with you.

Some cats will be very brave and affectionate right from the word go. He might creep out of his cat carrier, explore the room he is in and then hop on your lap and go to sleep until you get up to feed him some Purina cat food. This is a good sign and it means he is settling into his new surroundings. Don't worry if it doesn't happen straightaway though; it could take a while for him to settle down and trust you. This is especially the case if he has come from a bad home and distrusts humans.

The good news is he will likely respond to your good treatment of him over time. Cats are very independent but they will be happy in homes where they feel safe and loved. With Purina en cat foodat mealtimes, toys to play with and a garden to explore, your cat will be happy to settle into your home for a long time to come.

All cats have their own unique characters, and while some are quiet and relaxed, others are nosy and incredibly affectionate. Your cat will have his own little character that will start to become known over time. Get to know him as he gets to know you, and your relationship will develop in ways you may not have expected. Perhaps he will come and tell you when he is hungry, or when he wants attention. Perhaps he will always want to sleep on your lap. It's true in the end that cats own us, rather than the other way around!

When to Get a New Dog and Dog Time Petties

Something cool about the Dog Time Petties awards is that each time you nominate a blog or blog post, you can also nominate a nonprofit animal shelter or rescue to compete for a $10,000 Petties Grant. The shelter with the most nominations will win the grant. And each winner will also be able to choose a rescue, and each winning blogger will be awarded a $1,000 donation to the rescue or animal shelter of their choice. If I won an award, I'd choose Petsmart Charities because they do great work for pet adoption, and were so kind reaching out to us when we lost Brooks. I also like  Eldad Hagar and his Hope for Paws, a rescue organization especially skilled at rescuing street dogs and other dogs with very little hope. The videos of his rescues and transformations are heartbreaking as well as triumphant.
Categories for the 2013 awards include Best Dog Blog, Best Cat Blog, Best Cause-Related Blog and more. This year I have a post that I feel people responded to, When to Get a New Dog After Pet Loss? In this post I spoke from the heart about losing our golden retriever Brooks, and about how to know if it's time to adopt another dog. If you like this post, I'd be honored if you'd nominate it for a Pettie in the "Best Blog Post" category. Just go to http://petties.dogtime.com. Nominations close June 28.

Healthy Hound – Summer Tips and Trips for a Healthy Pet

It’s not uncommon to find humans hitting the gym this time of year to “get fit” for the summer season. Though they may not be strolling down the beach in a bathing suit any time soon, you should also think about your pet’s health and fitness this time of year. Morris Animal Inn and our sister organization, Morris K9 Campus, are pleased to provide events, trip ideas and tips to help you look out for your furry friend this summer.

Buy healthy food for your pet. Fresh produce is an easy find this time of year, but what about healthy alternatives for your dog? Morris Animal Inn will be coming together with local vendors at the Morristown Farmer’s Market this summer to provide healthy treats, like dog granola, for your pets. Stop by the market at the Morristown Parking Authority public parking lot on Saturday, June 15 between 8:30 am – 2:00 pm to find healthy foods for you and your pet all in one place.

Get all your training and pet behavior questions answered. Our sister facility Morris K9 Campus in Randolph is pleased to have Dr. Ian Dunbar visiting on June 15th and 16th. The celebrated Veterinarian, Animal Behaviorist and author will be hosting a Fun and Games Dog Training Workshop both days, during which he will teach participants many ways to keep dogs active. For pet owners who may have questions for Dr. Dunbar about their pet’s behavior, he will also be hosting a Q&A session on Saturday, June 15 from 7 – 9:30 pm. For more information on both sessions, visit www.MorrisK9Campus.com.


Keep your pet active.A pet that is left to their own devices all summer long may experience loss of energy or worse, take out pent-up energy on your couch cushions. Morris Animal Inn offers day care and lodging services to keep your pet busy while you’re working, away on vacation or just looking to venture out for the day. By offering group and private play sessions outside, indoor pool swims, treadmill sessions and healthy treats, we work to keep your pet active, healthy and happy. These activities will help provide both mental and physical stimulation for your dog; just what they need to stay fit this season. 


To schedule your pet a stay at Morris Animal Inn, or to learn more about our upcoming events, call us at 973-539-0377. We look forward to seeing you and your pet this summer!
