Resolutions

I asked our two pugs, MeiMei and Miko last night what this years resolution would be and after much thought they told me their resolutions are:

1. Help out more around the house

2. Don't destroy so many of our beds and toys 3. Eat slowerOk - maybe those are my resolutions for them...

Their resolutions were actually:

1. More naps in the sunshine2. More cuddles

3. More walkies (except when it's really cold)4. More food5. More kisses7. and less crazy outfits that mama makes us wearHappy New year to you all!

What is a Collapsing trachea?

This article is from Peteducation.com and is important to me because we have two pugs and they commonly can have this ailment and we also have friends with a pug that currently has been disgnosed with a collapsed trachea and thought it was important to pass along the information and mention how important it is to have the proper collar, or more importantly harness, for your small dogs, especially if they pull.  Obesity is also a major cause, which is important for pug owners like ourselves as well. 

 

Collapsing trachea (or collapsed trachea) is a common condition that causes coughing in small and toy breeds of dogs.

Let us start with an explanation of how the dog breathes, The respiratory system is basically comprised of the opening in the nose, the sinuses, the larynx (air passage containing the vocal cords), the trachea (wind pipe), the bronchial tubes, and the lungs. It has a dual purpose in the dog: to remove carbon dioxide from the body replacing it with oxygen, and to act as a cooling system. Since dogs do not have sweat glands they cannot perspire to lower their body temperature. By breathing faster, warm air from the body is exchanged with cooler air from outside.

The act of breathing is accomplished by the actions of the rib muscle and the movement of a large internal muscle called the diaphragm. The diaphragm separates the chest from the abdomen. Movement toward the abdomen causes the pet to breathe in fresh air. As the pet inhales, fresh air moves through the nose and larynx to the trachea. This rigid tube is supported by tough rings of cartilage. It carries the air to the bronchi, which in turn supply the lungs.

What is a collapsed trachea?

The trachea is supported by tough rings made of cartilage. Occasionally, the trachea will lose its rigidity and collapse while the dog is breathing. For unknown reasons, the cartilage rings weaken and the trachea no longer has proper support. The collapsing trachea syndrome is most often seen in toy breeds, especially Toy Poodles over the age of five.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of this syndrome depend on the severity of the deterioration. Usually, the dog will have difficulty breathing, especially during exercise. The deeper the pet tries to inhale, the more the trachea collapses, further restricting air flow (similar to sucking on a straw too hard). The pet appears to tire easily as it becomes short of breath. Dogs with a collapsing trachea will generally cough as if trying to clear the airways, and occasionally this cough will sound like a goose honk. In very severe cases, the tongue and gums will appear blue as breathing becomes restricted.

What are the risks?

Most dogs suffering with the collapsed trachea syndrome live normal - but restricted - lives. Activity is generally limited because the ability to breathe deeply when exercising is hindered. Left untreated, the restricted air flow can put undue stress on the heart and lungs as they try to compensate for the inability to breathe properly. Obese dogs are at greater risk than others.

What is the management?

Examination with the fingers and radiographs (x-rays) will generally confirm the diagnosis. Depending upon the severity of the condition, medications will help. Veterinarians usually prescribe drugs to help dilate the airways. The coughing is controlled by cough suppressants such as Torbutrol. If the pet is obese, we suggest a stricter diet. Finally, activity should be restricted and not encouraged. Dogs with collapsing tracheas should wear harnesses instead of collars in order to take any pressure off of the trachea. With the help of medication and modification of lifestyle, the collapsing trachea can be controlled but seldom cured. In severe cases, surgery to help open the airways may be beneficial, but most cases are managed medically not surgically.

Prehistoric Toys

Can't ever find a plush toy that your large breed dog could carry around with him? These awesome prehistoric plush toys have a soft squeaker and is tough and durable! Maybe a little too big for the small guys...

From Mindful Leadership

This is a forward of a post from our favorite trainers at Mindful Leadership.  Silvia Jay has been a wonderful influence in our ownership of our pugs and I have the utmost respect for her.   Feel free to follow her blog to get some great insight, thoughts and opinions about our wonderful companions.

 

We wish you a Merry Christmas, or a Merry whatever you are celebrating this time of year.

For 2010 we wish you and yours Peace, Health and Prosperity.

There is snow on the ground where I live. The winter wonderland look was the last thing that needed to happen before Christmas; the cookies are in the house, tree all up and decorated, and the dogs' wish list to Santi Paws went out weeks ago. I think I mentioned before that Davie and Will are brilliant, the little darlings, but they aren't able to scribble on paper what they'd like to find in their stocking, hung with care, so I did it for them.

 

According to a survey conducted by Petfinder, 63 percent of dog owners give Christmas presents to their pets. We belong to the majority. Including the canine family members into the festivities feels good all around; for humans because giving is better than receiving, for dogs because they love to get stuff. Period.

 

Gift giving is only one aspect of the Holiday Season. There is last minute shopping and cleaning, big meals to prepare, functions to go to and company that's coming; family gatherings sometimes with people one doesn't really want to gather with.

All that can be exciting, but also very stressful for people – and dogs. By now, most everyone knows to safeguard the box of chocolates from the dog, and to refrain from noshing him fatty food scraps.

 

Helping him deal with Holiday stressors is just as important. The young, inexperienced or timid pooch could spook when a big, red Santa inflates in front of the house, or when there is a snowman with a black hat and broom in a yard where there was none before. Suddenly, his familiar turf that always looked the same, changed - and that is scary, and his natural response is to bark, lunge or bolt. The smart owner calmly increases the distance until the pooch relaxes, and then lets him observe the new things so it can be checked off as non-threatening. Offering a piece of his favorite loot, or engaging him into a familiar and fun game, further contributes to the cagey canine feeling cool again in his 'hood, despite all the changes.

 

Every dog, even the friendliest people lover, can be overwhelmed when too many hands are patting, especially children's. And because he can't pour himself another glass of wine to calm the nerves, he might growl – or shy away, bark, chase, pant or pace.

Apropos wine, even you being a little looped with too much cheer can weird a sensitive dog out, and if you call him to come, he might not obey.

 

A dog often doesn't have the option to avoid or escape, physically or mentally, all that commotion. The onus is on the owner to recognize when the pooch has had enough partying, and to provide a safe, quiet place where he can chill undisturbed.

That, and keeping the dog's routine as much as possible, for example feeding the same food at the same time, and going for walks at the usual time, further ensures that giving presents on Christmas Morn' isn't the only happy event during the festive season.

I wonder what the girls gonna find under the tree this year? A Nina Ottosson interactive toy they can both play with? A ball for Davie to add to the dozen she already has? A couple of brownies from the Three Dog Bakery for Will? Extra meaty marrow bones and "accidentally" dropped pieces of low-fat roasted turkey breast, or that jazzy white collar with black sheep prints for Davie – wait, that would be a present more for me; but an extra long walk where there are a few slow squirrels, or maybe a….

Holiday Hazards for Your Pets

'Tis the season to be jolly, and your pets want to celebrate as much as you do. They can't wait for the turkeys, hams, desserts, decorations, parties, and, best of all, the Christmas tree. All of these holiday items and events can cause problems or even be dangerous for your pet.

Think about your pets' needs before company arrives. Is your cat terrified by a house full of people? Does your dog tend to jump on guests? Do your pets snap or bite if handled too much? It may be less stressful for them and your guests to put animals in a quiet room by themselves during gatherings.

If you plan to have houseguests, assess your pet's behavior and take corrective action before you have problems. For example, you may have elderly or frail guests, or those that do not care for dogs. Train your dog not to jump on guests and to behave calmly. Train your pets not to beg, and to sit quietly before they get any meals.

If your pets are social and enjoy gatherings, you still must be careful. Guests may place food or drinks within reach of your pets, feeding them treats without your knowledge. Dogs especially love alcohol and chocolate. Both can be dangerous and bring on coma or death. If your dog staggers, loses coordination, or is sleeping so soundly during or after a party that you cannot wake him, get him to a veterinary hospital immediately.

Holiday turkeys and hams are very tempting to dogs and cats. They can eat large quantities, cooked or raw, in a short time. Often this results in an upset belly, vomiting and diarrhea for a day or two. In some cases, dogs, especially, get severe pancreatitis from eating foods to which they are not accustomed.

Remember, anything used to prepare or serve the holiday dinner is inviting to your pets. This includes skewers and strings used to close the turkey, and carving knives. Attempts to swallow these items bring predictably bad results. Bones should not be fed to pets, especially ham bones. These are exactly the right size to get lodged in intestines. If this happens, it is a surgical emergency.

Cats like to chew on plants. Be careful with poinsettias. Although not severely toxic, poinsettias can give your cats an upset belly with some vomiting. To help keep your cats happy and away from household plants, provide them with wheatgrass to chew on.

The Christmas Tree. Pets adore these as much as you do. Cats like to climb on them until they fall over. Dogs prefer to body slam them. Pets and youngsters can get cut feet from stepping on broken ornaments. Dogs and cats sometimes like to mark trees with urine. Dogs like to eat ornaments and candy canes, including the wrappers. Many pets like to chew on light cords, which can shock or kill them. Dogs and cats eat tinsel, which can lodge in their intestines and cause a blockage.

If you have pets, anchor your Christmas tree to the wall in two spots for stability. Avoid all edible ornaments, and avoid putting breakable ornaments near the bottom of the tree. Tape light cords against the tree or wall, so they aren't lying on the floor, inviting your pets to chew on them. Avoid tinsel altogether if you have young, playful pets. They see it as a moving, irresistible toy.

Make sure your pets get plenty of attention and exercise during the holiday season. This makes them less likely to get into mischief. Check with your veterinarian for more suggestions.

Dangers of Rawhide

Rawhide bones and chews are made from the inner layer of animal hide. Generally, manufacturers use cow hide, but horse, bull or other hides may also be used. Rawhide is sold in almost every pet store and is irresistible to most dogs. However, before you indulge your dog with another rawhide bone or chew, you should know the risks associated with rawhide.

First place winner:  Echo the Astromutt

About Echo:  This is echo our boston terrier dressed in our home made astronaut costume. Don't worry she can breathe fine, we have taken necessary precautions to insure proper breathing is achieved. She actually has 2 helmets: 1 for the photo shoot which is not left on her than more than 15 seconds which has airholes around the base of her collar and a show helmet with a big hole cut out of the front. We are very concerned about costume safety and have been getting questions of concern.

Second Place Winner: Aladdin and Phoenix as Poseidon and Triton

About Aladdin and Phoenix: Aladdin and Phoenix are fun loving and friendly dogs. They are like kings in our house, so they decided to dress as kings for Halloween this year, the kings of the sea - Poseidon and Triton. They are actually merman, with fish tails and human chests. Triton has a magic conch shell around his neck that he blows into to raise or lower the waves and they both have golden tridents. Here they are under the sea, amongst the sealife and bubbles.

Third Place Winners: Darci and Nelly as Little Bo Peep who Found her Sheep 

Both Darci and Nelly are rescue pups. Darci was adopted over 4 years ago and Nelly came to our house barely a year ago. Nelly first came to our house as a scared, little foster pup - much like a lost sheep. But with Darci's help and guidance she soon found her way and has a permanent home where we all love her. I made both Darci's Little Bo Peep costume and Nelly's sheep costume by hand and hope you enjoy the picture!

Ready, Set, Go! ReadyLeash!

As I mentioned last week - I like to try out as many as the products that we carry in Pawhaus as I can with the our pugs. That way I know what I am talking about when I recommend it to a customer.

So one of the items we recently brought in is the ReadyLeash:The ReadyLeash is an innovative, non-retractable leash with bags built-in! The ReadyLeash features an comfort-grip handle with an integrated clean-up bag dispenser. The bags simply pull out like tissues and refillables easily pop into the handle. XtraLeashes can be attached to the ReadyLeash handle for walking multiple dogs.

So, I attached an XtraLeash to our handle and hooked the girls up.
The more I used the ReadyLeash, the more I realized how comfortable the handle was to hold. At first I thought the leash length (I have medium size on there for each of them) wasn't enough - I thought that we would be tripping all over each other and giving each dog enough "space" to comfortably do their "business" wasn't going to be easy - but it didn't end up being that way.

The girls easily got used to how much space they had for themselves and, unlike other couplers I have tried while walking the dogs, the ReadyLeash gives more space for the dogs to be apart from each other. They could both walk on either side of me without it feeling like they were pulling each other or pulling me from one side or the other.
Of course, the girls have to frequently check the Pee-mail around the neighborhood, which means that I have to be on the ball for when they want to stop so that I don't pull my arm out - but I did like the closer control that I had with them when it came to them trying to grab a rabbit turd off the ground.
I can't really comment on whether the ReadyLeash helps with a dog pulling - only because MeiMei and Miko are very good while walking and 90% of the time stay in heel and don't pull ahead or get too out of control. (Yes, I am spoiled with well behaved pugs ;)
However, I can comment on the easy convienence of having the poop bags in the handle. Very easy to pull out and biodegradable bags at that! The handle also has a very cool feature in that there is an opening on both ends. One to pull bags out of, and the other (self proclaimed) I could tuck the tied ends of the *ahem* used bag into the opening. Which means that I NO LONGER HAVE TO CARRY POOP FILLED BAGS IN MY HANDS!!!! If you are like us and don't have garbage bins in abundance in your 'hood then this is a very cool feature. This is also handy when you have two dogs to wrangle and don't always have an extra hand to pick up the additional doo that they drop. (Side Note: what is it about dogs and their reserve tank of pee and poop when they do on walks?? It's endless!!!)
So after about a week of using the ReadyLeash I can really say that I think it's a really useful product and will continue to use it when walking the girls. The only comment I have that isn't practical when using it for two dogs is when you are taking them somewhere, like the groomers or vet's office, and they need to be taken into the back, one at a time, on leash. It leaves you holding one dog while the other goes or coming up with another plan (maybe just clipping the leash to your person or something might work).

I think that the ReadyLeash is a great product and I will use it for a long time to come. If you are wondering why I favor a non-retractable leash.. well that's a topic I may have to save for another day.

The Vaccination Challenge

Rescue groups holds a very solid place on the hearts of the people at Pawhaus Pet Boutique. We try to help as many as we can with fundraising efforts and donations - but unfortunately there seem to be more and more animals in need these days.

In our August newsletter we announced that 5% of our sales for that month would be donated to Big Heart Rescue for their Vaccination Challenge Event. Here are more details about the Vaccination Challenge and how you can help:

Big Heart Rescue is thrilled to announce that we will be heading to Bella Coola on September 5th and 6th to conduct our first Animal Wellness Clinic in this community!

Our team of vets, vet tech's and other volunteers hope to examine, vaccinate, de-worm, de-flea and medically support approximately 150 companion animals during this exciting two day event.

We are looking for your financial support via our Vaccination Challenge.

In Memory of Baby Ellawho died of Distemper and Parvo

Every $14 donated allows us to vaccinate one companion animal and this means you personally have helped to save a innocent soul from the horrific diseases of Parvo and Distemper. These diseases take far too many lives and cause needless suffering and death.

Bessie + Barnie

Bessie & Barnie was founded by a group of forward-thinking fashion executives united in the common goal of creating a better living environment for all pets. They strive, at Bessie & Barnie, to design a collection of well-made products that are fun, functional and fashionable, all handcrafted in the United States.Their design inspiration derives from the latest trends in fashion and interiors, along with the constant leadership of our design gurus, Bessie and Barnie, the happiest, most loving dogs in the world. Working together, their team strives to ensure that "dogs have never been happier".

As we like to try out the products that we carry on the site - along with our shop order we also included a copy of harness for our two pugs, MeiMei and Mikodon't they look cute!!! The harnesses were very easy to put on them - even though MeiMei tends to be a squirmer when it comes to putting on a harness or collar. You just slip their head through the neck area and adjust the webbing that comes under their armpit (do dogs have an armpit?) to make a comfortable fit
Because of the soft, wide fabric that comes across their chest - it's important, especially for wide, barrel chested dogs, that the fit is comfortable for them and won't dig into them or that they could wiggle out of it.

Bessie + Barnie also comes in multiple, stylish trims and fabrics! So something so simple looks so great - and they are priced great too!

They also make beds! Delivered right to your door you can chose the best patterns and styles that flatter your dogs space - something that you will want to show off, not hide! All their products are made in the USA

so check out what products you can order from the Pawhaus Pet Boutique today!

Pawhaus Collar Collection

Diva Dog Collection

Diva Dog is an amazing and stylish brand of pet products that we are proud to have at the Pawhaus Pet Boutique!

Their collars, harnesses and leashes are always ahead in style and quality. Their neck accessories for pets have always included a heavy, stainless steel buckle - which is strong and classy - but they have turned it up a notch and are now lighter weight! They have taken the beauty of polished metal and paired it with a light weight composite side release mechanism which reduces the weight of our buckle by over 50%. The side release is sturdy and easy to use. It doesn't have any components that can stick or stop working over time.

There are also hard-core styles for the rockers out there, like the Spike Collection
and you can resist their new ADORABLE Ladybugs and Bees collection - summer may almost be over but you will be able to smell the fresh cut grass and blooming flowers all year round with this piece for your poochand if you are looking for the truly unique item that will turn some heads - check out the Boho Pet Carriers - vibrant, hand-painted paisley designs embellish these all-leather pet carriers
