 Baby,
It’s Cold Outside
During the winter months, it is important to protect your
pet from the cold. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause
hypothermia, which is a drop in your pet's body temperature.
To avoid this dangerous situation and keep your pet comfy
and cozy all season long, read
on for some tips from our staff. |

Save Your Life. Can You Save His?
Protecting your dog’s health begins with an understanding
of basic first aid techniques. To learn how you can help
your pet during common emergencies, the Michigan Veterinary
Specialists Charitable Foundation created a “Pet First
Aid & CPR” DVD for pet owners.
This informative one and half hour video, presented by
a board-certified veterinarian and specialist in internal
medicine, equips you with emergency action plans and hands-on
techniques from how to clean and bandage a wound to what
to do if your dog is choking. Heat stroke, eye injuries,
poisoning and even how to stop the bleeding of a nail with
common household items will be covered. CPR techniques are
demonstrated and pet owners’ most frequently asked
questions are answered. To view a clip from the video, click
here.

Foundation you’ll receive this video. Just click here

 Watch
Out: Pet Poison in Gum
A deadly toxin could be lurking in your cupboards, purse
or pockets. Xylitol, a sugar substitute, is gaining popularity
and is in many products including sugar-free gum and mints,
nicotine gum, chewable vitamins, oral-care products and
baked goods. While Xylitol ingestion in humansis considered
safe and may be a healthy sugar alternative for diabetics,
it can be fatal in dogs. (The effects of Xylitol ingestion
in cats are unknown.)
