Help your pet overcome stormy weather
Even the most placid animals are easily startled or frightened by sudden loud
noises, like fireworks and thunder. In fact, thunderstorm phobia is a common
behavioral issue in dogs and cats. Dealing with it can be challenging, but there are
ways to help a fearful animal feel better. Try one or more of the following when
the thunder starts to rumble this summer.
• A stress wrap, which applies pressure to the animal’s body and makes him
feel more secure.
• Massage therapy to relax and soothe him.
• Soothing music to cover up the sound of thunder.
• A special treat to help him associate the storm with something enjoyable. |

New act helps foil pet thieves
It’s hard to think about, but the motivation
behind many dog and cat thefts
is the money these unscrupulous
people can make by selling animals to
research labs. The proposed federal
Pet Safety and Protection Act would
prohibit Class B dealers and unlicensed
individuals from making such
sales. Class B dealers collect dogs and
cats from random sources and sell
them to the research industry, often
using illegal or unethical means such
as stealing and responding to “free to
good home” ads. The new legislation
would help ensure dogs and cats are
not stolen or acquired under false
pretenses and sold for research. For
details, and how you can support the
Act, visit www.aspca.org. |

| EFAs that excel |
 Omega-3 fatty acids enhance health in a variety of ways,
but it’s important to make sure you buy a quality
product for your dog or cat. Bravo! Wild Alaskan
Salmon Oil is 100% natural and comes from one
of Alaska’s top producers. It’s made from freshly
caught salmon using a “cold” extraction method
to ensure viability. Immediately after extraction,
natural mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) are added
to maintain freshness, while the filtration
process results in a pure, unadulterated oil
rich in Omega-3s and antioxidants as well as
over 30 other
distinct fatty acid molecules.
