Sunscreen for Your Pet?
As it turns out, certain pets do benefit from the use of sunscreen. Pets (cats and dogs alike) with light-colored noses, those with very thin or missing fur (for example if your pet has a shaved area - just be sure to check with your veterinarian before putting sunscreen on over a wound or stitches), or pets who like to expose their bellies to the sun all benefit from the application of sunscreen during the hot summer months. If you plan to use human sunscreen on your pet, choose one that is hypo-allergenic and fragrance free. Avoid using human sunscreen in a place your pet is likely to lick it off; licking off the sunscreen not only defeats the purpose, but ingesting sunscreen can be harmful to your pet. For lickable areas and/or for easier application, opt for a pet-specific sunscreen. Here are a few links to different options:Epi-Pethttp://www.epi-pet.com/sunscreen.aspxVet's Besthttp://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=pet+sunscreen&cid=15753118164751215638Doggleshttp://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=pet+sunscreen&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=16410261980035158236&ei=qE0-TPj5IJCinQfyg8nhBA&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDMQ8wIwAA ...read more

How to Run with Your Dog, Safely
A New YorkTimes articleA Best Friend, Yes. Best Runner, Maybe Not.provides great running tips for ensuring that your favorite canine running companion will stay in top form for many years to come: 1) Ensure that you have a dog that is designed for running. Small dogs, such as Yorkshire Terriers and miniature poodles may enjoy a lengthy game of fetch, but their bodies are not designed to tolerate an extended run. Dogs with short muzzles, like Pugs and Bulldogs are prone to respiratory problems and running for any length of time can put undue strain on their heart and lungs. The article goes on to point out that even dogs that easily walk or run for long distances (like Rhodesian Ridgebacks) may not make great running companions. Humans like to run at a constant speed in a straight line - dogs like the Rhodesian Ridgebacks like to run towards the most interesting smells, stop and investigate, then run on to the next most compelling scent. While this may work if you are able to run on trails where your dog can be off leash, this manner of "running" is likely to be frustrating for both you and the dog in on-leash situations. So what types of dogs DO make good running companions? Author Tracey Patterson offers acomprehensive list of breeds, including Golden and Labrador Retrievers, Dalmatians, and German Shepherds, that are predisposed to being good running companions. While I think most of Tracey's recommendations make sense, I disagree with her suggestion that a Border Collie would make a good companion. Most people who jog with dogs that are bred for herding say that the dog tends to try to herd them as opposed to running along aside them. 2) Train your dog to heel. According to the New York Times article, this is the one command every dog who goes out running should know. A good trainer can help you teach your dog to heel fairly quickly. Teaching a dog to heel will help prevent him from constantly chasing after squirrels and birds (if your dog is on a leash and suddenly runs in one direction after a bird or squirrel while you are running in a different direction, the dog can literally wrench your arm from your socket). 3) Learn the warning signs that your dog is in trouble. As with humans, overheating is a very common problem with dogs. According the ASPCA, symptoms such as excessive panting, increased heart rate, drooling, and weakness are all signs that your dog is overheated. Heat exhaustion can cause permanet damage to your pets vital organs, so take your dog t the veterinarian immediately if you suspect he has become seriously overheated. To help prevent your dog from becoming overheated, avoid jogging with your dog on hot days, and try to run in the mornings or evenings when the temperature is cool. Be sure to check your dog's paws for cuts and abrasions after every run. If you were forced to run on snow, ice, or on roads that were salted (for ice melt purposes), be sure to thoroughly rinse off your dog's paws. 4) Start slowly. Just like humans, dogs need to build up their endurance. Tracey Patterson offersa wonderful training programfor getting your dog into top running shape. Be fit, be safe, and most importantly, have fun! ...read more
