More pets disappear during this week-end then any other time of the year!  People may love the visual and audio celebration of fireworks but cats and dogs have no idea what is going on and instinctively run and hide from loud noise and vibrant lights in the sky.  If you think your dog is going to enjoy a BBQ sausage and a twilight display…think again!  The best thing you can do for your pets on the eve of July 1 or July 4^th is ensure they are safely secured in an area they are familiar and happy with,  all windows and doors securely locked.  If you are home with your dog and his anxiety increases try shutting the curtains, turning up the music and act calm as if nothing is happening.  If the condition increases try a Thundershirt.  www.thundershirt.com

If you are over 40 you remember the antics of Garfield the cat, his human Jon Arbuckle and Odie the dog.  Jim Davis created this iconic cat in 1978 and held the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip. Common themes in the strip include Garfield’s laziness, obsessive eating, coffee, and disdain of Mondays and diets. Cat lovers all over the world fell in love with the orange tabby with the bad attitude so much so, that June 19^th is Garfield Day!

CanEVA pets has a supplement to assist in the mobility and joint health of your cat!  Your flesh and blood cat may not look as good as the animated Garfield at 48 years old but we want to make sure he still remains healthy and happy!  The glucosamine and hyaluronic acid found in our elk velvet antler has health benefits for your aging cat.  Explore the possibilities on our website under the Pets tab.

Take your pet to work week is June 17 – 21 and wouldn’t it be great if you could take our best friend to work with you? Workplace culture is changing on this issue, more people are taking their pets to work with them, and employers are seeing surprising results. A study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) found that employees who brought their dog to work had low-stress levels compared to people who left their dog’s at home. Dogs in the office also meant more interaction between employees. Coworkers don’t usually interact with each other beforehand use the dog as a catalyst for communication.  The mental break of interacting with the dogs allows time  to de-stress before returning to their tasks at hand with a refreshed outlook and energy.  Luckily, working in the pet industry my dogs are constantly at my side and we encourage others to bring their dogs to the office.  If you are lucky enough to be the one making decisions at the office maybe this is the right time to experiment with allowing pets to come to the office.  If you need help presenting the case to your boss the benefits include: Decreasing stress, Increased communication between the team and departments, happier employees and improved culture.

It wasn’t me…it was the dog!  How often do you use that line when an odd aroma penetrates a room? Dogs definitely pass, regardless of their age, size, or breed.  Often dogs get gas from swallowing too much air, which often happens when dogs eat too quickly.  Any respiratory disease that increases the breathing rate may also cause the swallowing of air, as will feeding a dog directly after exercise, before their breathing rate has slowed down.  Other culprits causing dog gas include having a sedentary lifestyle and eating difficult to digest food such as soybeans, beans, spoiled food, high-fat food, high-fiber food, milk products, and spices. If the increase in gas is also accompanied by diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite and weight let your Vet know about it!

Weirdly enough the more hydrogen sulfide, the smellier it is.  There isn’t much you can do for a dog’s smelly gas except manage what they eat and avoid some of the ingredients listed above. If you are trying the CanEVA supplement with your dog, we would love to hear if you have seen any changes in your dog’s gas!  In the meantime, “blaming it on the dog” is always acceptable.
