June 19, 2007 Published weekly by VetLocator.com Welcome to this issue of Pet News for Pet Owners from VetLocator.com With summer's heat arriving, our Customer Service staff has been busier than ever helping pet owners find pet pros and answers or help they are looking for. It seems that fleas and ticks are generating some questions right now. Along with scheduling an appointment with your veterinarian to get your pets ready for the summer, we also have some articles in our resource library on fleas, and some postings in our Ask A Pet Pro blog where you can find useful information. Earlier this week our staff had two incidents of helping people who were the victims of dog bites, and each week we review dozens of pet stories about aggressive dogs. That is why our first article this week is dedicated to the victims of dog bits and the owners of the aggressive dogs who bit them. This article gives tips on what to do if a dog bits and how to spot a dog that has aggressive tendancies and what to do about it (hint - do NOT give the dog away to an unsuspecting family). The article will be in our resource library for future reference Many people wrote in to say they loved our article and the videos on Christian The Lion. For those of you who did not have a chance to see it, here is the link. Our video this week is about a cat that has been trained to eat with a fork. Weird but fascinating. Our Ask A Pet Pro Blog is a great resource to refer to if you have a specific question about your pet's health. To find answers from pros to YOUR pet's health issues, visit our blog and look at the categories on the right of the page. Click on the one that applies to view questions and answers that pertain to the subject you are interested in. If you don't find what you are looking for, there is a link at the top of the page for you to ask your own questions.
Have a great week! PS: Don't miss MORE Cat Haiku's on the right column of the newsletter. |

Aggressive Dogs, spotting them and what to do to keep safe We've had several aggressive dog incidents touch our lives recently. One was my sister, who was bitten in the face by an unneutered German Shepard. One was a pet owner trying to find out wheter the Great Dane that bit her husband, unprovoked, had its shots. Another was the story of an Indiana woman who had been worried by the behavior of one of her Chow mixes, getting killed by the dog as she fed him treats. Canine aggression is a big problem and it is largely preventable if you know the warning signs and what to do when you see or suspect it. This article by Dr. Gary Clemons gives both the dog owner and public information that can identify and prevent canine aggression from occuring.

According to the American Humane Association's Web site, www.aha.org, June has been chosen Adopt-A-Cat month because of the explosion in the cat and kitten population around this time of year.

Cat Haiku
The food in my bowl Is old, and more to the point Contains no tuna. Tiny can, dumped in Plastic bowl. Presentation, One star; service, none. My brain: walnut sized. Yours: largest among primates. Yet, who leaves for work? So you want to play. Will I claw at dancing string? Your ankle's closer. Am I in your way? You seem to have this backwards. This pillow's taken. There's no dignity In being sick--which is why I don't tell you where. Seeking solitude I am locked in the closet. For once I need you. Your mouth is moving, Up and down, emitting noise. I've lost interest. The dog wags his tail, Seeking approval. See mine? Different message. Cats can't steal the breath Of children. But if my tail's Pulled again, I'll learn. Most problems can be Ignored. The more difficult Ones can be slept through. My affection is conditional. Don't stand up, It's your lap I love. I don't mind being Teased, any more than you mind A skin graft or two . So you call this thing Your "cat carrier." I call These my "blades of death." Toy mice, dancing yarn, Meowing sounds. I'm convinced You're an idiot.
