Write to Dr. Jacki, ASK THE VET

Today's post is a great big thank you from me. It has been such a breath of fresh air to add Dr. Jacki to this blog. Particularly meaningful have been the letters that have flowed in. It is delightful to hear from so many of you.

Dr. Jacki has been graciously answering your letters and I would like to give all of you a bit more help. First of all, I've added a page link to all of Dr. Jacki's posts in the ASK THE VET column. The link currently is at the top of the sidebar, under Dr. Jacki's photo. You'll notice also, that I have added her practice's website link, 4 Paws House Calls.

Prior to now, this link was accessed anytime you clicked on her photo, but I wanted to make it a bit easier to find. I do hope, if you are interested in locating a vet who makes house calls, that you will give Dr. Jacki a chance to visit and get acquainted. At her website, you'll find information on her services, products and contact information.

While some of you have continued to write with questions for a trainer, I am still on the prowl for the right person. If you know someone, please send them my way. Meanwhile, I'll answer those questions that I am able to, and save the rest for an expert. Keep those questions coming for Dr. Jacki: LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com. I love to hear from you all.

Service Dog Tags - New Super Strong Tags Available...

We finally did it!

We found a stronger tag. We know that some dogs are just plain hard on tags. We've been looking high and low for a tag that would hold up better to abuse and we finally found it.

We now have Super Strong Tags that are made out of two different plastics which form a stronger tag. We've added the Super Strong Tags option to our site for only $3 per set of large tags.

We have a limited supply of the Super Strong Tags on hand for the introduction - so if your dog is super active, get the new Super Strong Tags now!

Thanks

Look for Xena's picture as our logo there. After all, even our senior citizens need to have their time in the limelight. She is having trouble with the whole concept of 'tweeting' though. Perhaps we should call it 'woofing' for her!

Hope to see you soon. Get those pictures in.

No More Ticks for Tanner!

Happy Tanner has No More Ticks!

Why is Tanner so happy? Because he is now tick-free. After a terrible infestation in October, Tanner and his housemates--Oliver and Xena--endured a tough month of de-ticking. Fortunately for us, we had the backing of our organic pest control company, Bug Brigade, to solve the problem without adding toxins to our environment.

Here's our story. After a 6 day camping trip with the dogs, we apparently brought home half the ticks in all the woods we hiked through. When I discovered the rascals, I started removing them, using the technique I had learned at my vet. The count went higher and higher.

Soon, I realized that de-bugging was not solving the problem. It was clear that we must have already dropped lots of the little guys around the yard and our home, as the dogs kept turning up with more, each time I checked them.

I called Scott and explained the problem. He was reassuring and confident that his peppermint oil treatment would do the trick, as long as I did my part. What was my part?

Wash all the dog bedding and rugs in areas they like to lay
Remove the ticks from the dogs each day during the treatment duration
Spray them with a peppermint oil preparation he prescribed
Contain the dogs to a designated area of the home, giving him full access to the rest for annihilation. And no, I didn't have to keep them in crates or even in a small room. They had full access to our kitchen, family room and a large screened porch. The weather was nice, so this worked out just fine.

Scott's treatment involved a couple of heavy duty power sprayings of the yard, porch and trees. It smelled great--no chemical odors when you're using peppermint oil. We smelled like candy canes at Christmas time.

In addition, they went over our entire indoors, treating all the floorboards and every area that the dogs had previously spent time in. After leaving me with a couple of recipes (1 for dog spray and one for house spray), I was given a bottle of peppermint oil to continue back-up treatments.

I thought this might be it, but was pleasantly surprised when they returned for repeat performances until the ticks had dwindled to only an occasional one here or there. I was thrilled not to have to bomb my home or spray pesticides all over my yard. A month later, we found ourselves with no more bugs and the lingering sweet smell of peppermint. How could I not love that?

If you're in the Central Florida area and are looking for natural pest control that won't be toxic to you, your pets or your kids, I can highly recommend Bug Brigade.

Would you like to share your experience? Write to me at LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com. Happy tails!

Doby and Lola

Help.

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 06:22 AM PST

Dear readers,
I have come to a bit of a dilemma in my life. You see, after almost an entire year of being the queen of the house (or princess, mom is really the queen), I still do not have my own bed. Well, I have a doggie bed in the living room, but we don't sleep in there at night. I still have to share my night-time bed with mom, dad, AND Doby! What is this all about? No matter how hard I try to push everyone off and not let Doby jump up on the bed, they still all end up sleeping in it. I may need at least one parent, since I can't jump up on the bed by myself and someone has to pick me up, but still. That's 2 extra bodies that need to get out!
If any pup has a suggestion as to how to rid your bed of extra people, please share.

-Princess Lola-
