A Note From Randal
******************

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying the new year as Donna and I are. In this issue I have a nice article on pets in the winter. So many times driving through towns you see dogs and cats out in the cold without much cover. Please consider the details of the article and pass it to a friend when appropriate.

We appreciate all you do to spread the word about our sites and ezines.

Until next time,

Randal

Vets May Not Warn You About Potentially Deadly Pet Drugs

If you have a dog, he or she has probably been prescribed a pain medication.

For dogs both young and old, vets recommend pain meds for everything from post surgery pain relief to arthritis.

Joan Burke told us, "I thought I was helping her and I ended up giving her the medication that killed her."

Joan Burke says her dog Brody was healthy except for mild arthritis.

Dog and Cat Suggestions

Protect Your Pet from Winter's Woes

In many areas, winter is a season of bitter cold and numbing wetness. Help your pets remain happy and healthy during the colder months by following these simple guidelines.

Don't leave dogs outdoors when the temperature drops. Most dogs, and all cats, are safer indoors, except when taken out for exercise. Regardless of the season, shorthaired, very young, or old dogs and all cats should never be left outside without supervision. Short-coated dogs may feel more comfortable wearing a sweater during walks.

No matter what the temperature, windchill can threaten a pet's life. A dog or cat is happiest and healthiest when kept indoors. If your dog is an outdoor dog, however, he/she must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his/her body heat. The floor should be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw. The house should be turned to face away from the wind, and the doorway should be covered with waterproof burlap or heavy plastic.

Free of Heartworms ~ Playful Dog

"Just had to let you know, Bernie had his heartworm test a couple of weeks ago and was free of all infestations. It was quite a job giving him all those pills, but I am so grateful I did. I had to tell everyone. We have adopted another Jack Russell to keep Bernie company and have someone to play with, he was wearing us out. Thank you so much for providing us with all the
great information." Diane
