On the Road in Richmond, VA

Don't limit yourself to dog parks in your neighborhood. Use Dog Park USA to find dog-friendly hotels around the country and take a vacation with your dog! 

Keep in mind that "dog-friendly" doesn't mean "off-leash". Your pooch will still need to run around at a local dog park for exercise. The Airline Transportation Association estimates that more than 500,000 animals travel by plane each year, which means that far more travel by car. Since dogs are the most common pet to take on a vacation, bringing Dog Park Finder on the road is a great option. Instead of pulling in at a truck stop on your road trip, use Dog Park Finder to get directions to the closest dog park and let your dog stretch her legs too.

Whether you're on a road trip across the country, a weekend drive, or a stroll through your neighborhood, your dog needs to run off-leash. Let Dog Park Finder and Dog Park USA help you find the best dog park near you…wherever you are!

Training Your Dog Using Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement dog training is a friendly, non-punitive method of teaching your dog to perform behaviors using Dog FoodDog Treats or other positive actions as a reward. Rewarding appropriate dog behavior makes that behavior more likely to occur in the future and is one of the most powerful tools you can use to shape or change your dog’s actions. PupLife strongly advocates using positive reinforcement dog training as it not only teaches your dog what behaviors you desire (as well as those you don’t) in a humane manner, but also because it creates stronger bonds between you and your dog.

I know you have all been enjoying the guest posts from Chris Engel about training a Frisbee dog. Let me hear you cheer wildly for Kota's first appearance:

Chris will be back in a few days with one final entry to his series on disc dogging. In this last post, Chris will give you the insider's view on choosing discs. You will find this very interesting, as it seems that a typical Frisbee is not your best choice. Tanner and I plan to go shopping!

It's Easter!


Cute little LB looks like he is trying to wake up his buddy, Lexi. Thanks to a local Pet Nanny for sharing her adorable furry friends. If you're in Central Florida and need pet sitting services, she will be delighted to hear from you.

LB was saved from certain death by Shannon, and has been welcomed by her other adorable rescues, Lexi and Pumpkin. We hope all three of you enjoy your Easter.
Happy Easter

ASK THE VET: Tuberculosis and Dogs

All Healthy Here!

HI Doc,

Can humans get tuberculosis from their pets (like dogs)? Can dogs get tuberculosis from humans?

Thanks!

Yadira

_____________________________________


Hello Yadira:


This is a tough one. There are no known cases of TB being transmitted from dog to human or vice versa but that doesn't mean it can't happen. 


Dogs do not get infected with TB all that often. Primates are more of a zoonotic concern than dogs. TB is actually called Mycobacterium and it is everywhere in the environment, so that is a more likely source of infection. When in doubt, ask your doctor and talk to your vet. 


Good luck,


Dr. Jacki
