Did you hear?
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.
 
Our Product Picks
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.
