A New Year with A New Outlook

2010-01-08T19:01:00.001-06:00

Did you make yourself a New Years Resolution?

Like millions of us, one of the top ones are get healthy and start losing weight.We always say, we are going to start the first of the year.

We want you to consider making that same resolution for your pet. Make 2010 the year to get your pet healthy!

Many of our pets are given a poor quality of food and treats without knowing what the ingredients are in each bag. We look to the TV for what is supposed to be good for our pets. We see many great commercials that say "Our food is the best!" Have you taken a few minutes to actually stop and read the packaging and see what is actually in these "best" foods?

Paws Inn Resort has and we want to share with you some important things you need to know! We want you to STOP looking at these commercials and START looking at the ingredients. Many of the "bigger name brand" foods are not what they should be. We will not be naming names, but TRUST US, you may be disappointed. We have done some research and talked with a nutritionist and have found out what you SHOULD be looking for in your pet food.

1. PROTEIN such as Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Salmon, and Venison. This should be your #1 ingredient.

You should also look for Meals such as Chicken Meal as this is that great protein just minus the water, making it more dense but still has all the important nutrients.

2. Grains, Rice, and Vegetables. These should be following up your protein in the #2 and #3 spots.

3. Anything Organic for obvious reasons. These ingredients have not been processed and broken down and possibly stripped of some pretty important nutrients.

STAY AWAY FROM THE FOLLOWING!

1. The word "BY-PRODUCT". This could ANY part of the animal. We want the protein not the other parts of an animals body.

2. CORN! It is used as a filler. Dogs cannot break it down, so it just goes right through them like it does our bodies. It is not giving them anything beside filling up their bellies. Corn is sometimes one of the top ingredients in these "big named brand" foods...YIKES!

3. Artificial sweetners, flavors, and colors. Dogs do not care what color their food is, and are already sweet enough. They do not need any more sugar.

4. BHT and BHA. These are used as preservatives, but are actually a carcinogen.

Finding a quality food is where you are going to find your path to a healthy lifestyle for your pet. You are going to find many changes in your pet.

1. Fewer ear infections

2. Less scratching

3. Shiny and healthy looking coat

4. Decrease in food allergies

5. Better overall appearance of your pet

We worry so much about what we put in our bodies...why not do the same for our pets.

They deserve it! It is worth the switch!

If you want more information, or want to learn more about what healthy foods are available, contact Paws Inn Resort today and we will get you onto accomplishing that New Year Resolution!

REMEM-BRRRR:

Dogs are vulnerable in frigid weather!

Short-coated and dogs low to the ground freeze faster
Ears, toes, and tail tips can get frostbite
Ice-melting chemicals are very hard on dog paws
Shivering is an early sign of hypothermia

So, what should you do?

Buy a coat for your dog to keep his body core warmer
If ears, paws, and tail are cold to the touch, re-warm them gradually
Protect dog pads with boots or rub baby oil into them. Keeping nails trimmed and foot hairs short helps reduce ice clumps between toes
Bring "outside" dogs indoors if the temps or wind chills are sub-zero

FreeKibble.com and CANIDAE Continue to Work Together to Feed Pets in Need

CANIDAE is proud to continue making donations to FreeKibble.com, a charity dedicated to providing high quality food to shelter dogs and cats from Oregon to Florida. FreeKibble.com was founded by twelve-year-old Mimi Ausland from Bend, Oregon, who wanted to help feed the hungry animals at her local animal shelter. "There are tens of thousands of dogs and cats in animal shelters across the country, all needing to be fed a good meal," said Mimi. The success of her website and charity stems from how simple it is to donate. Visitors go to FreeKibble.com and answer the Bow Wow Trivia question of the day. Each day one plays, no matter if his or her answer is right, FreeKibble.com is able to donate 10 more pieces of kibble to a needy shelter. We hope you will join us in visiting each day!

~A little history~

The love for dogs I have started at a very young age with companion animals that were part of my family growing up. My passion for dogs came with my first dog as an adult. Together we discovered the fun of dog parks, long walks, dog agility, obedience, fly ball and herding. Over the next 5-7 years, my husband and I added three more dogs to our family. As my love of dogs grew, so did my interest in health care, nutrition and training. Over the last fifteen years, I have attended and participated in numerous educational workshops and seminars.

Interest in canine massage came easily when one of my dogs starting refusing jumps and was less excited about playing Frisbee. I was referred to Cindy Hickey of Supreme Motion; a well known canine and equine sports massage therapist in the Twin Cities. With Cindy’s help, my dog’s muscle injury was discovered. Over the next several months, Cindy provided massage on a regular basis for my dog and instructed me on how to be more proactive with the health care of my dogs so that I may avoid any similar injuries in the future. Impressed and convinced of the power of regular bodywork, I pursued Supreme Motion’s canine sports massage certification.

Canine Sports Massage certification was 300 hours of intense class room training with the majority of time spent working “hands on” with dogs. The curriculum included anatomy, physiology, nutrition, gait analysis, conformation evaluation, massage techniques, biomechanics of performance dogs, post injury healing, acupressure and Bach Flower Essences. Since my certification, I have also become a student of life enhancing essential oils; adding to my ability to assist in personal care for your canines every day life.

My canine massage business has grown since its start in March 2006. Currently, my clients include canine athletes, post surgical dogs, arthritic dogs and a few couch potatoes. Many of my weekends are spent at canine sporting events providing pre and post massage to canine athletes.

My approach to massage is one of more natural principles; looking at the dog as a whole. My goal is not only to provide all the benefits of massage, but to teach you, the owner, how to be proactive with your dogs health care.

Today, I continue to play with my dogs and continue to strive for more knowledge to better their lives. This knowledge, I would like to share with you.

Canine Sports Massage Seminar

Friday, November 6^th, 2009

6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

In this two hour, info-packed, hands-on seminar, learn the answers to the questions: Why massage my dog? What are the benefits of canine massage? Will my dog benefit from massage? Learn basic massage techniques you can put to use right away with your dog. Learn proper warm up, cool down and stretching techniques and their importance. Learn what to be aware of to help your canine athlete feel their best.

2009-07-02T13:38:00.005-05:00

Ever read the ingredients in the dog food you give your dog? Some ingredients are not necessarily good for dogs! Take a look:

DOG FOOD SHOULD CONTAIN:

TWO MEAT SOURCES in the top three ingredients - that means chicken, lamb, beef, fish and chicken meal, lamb meal, beef meal, and fish meal

WHOLE UNPROCESSED grains and vegetables

GOOD GRAINS like rice, barley, oatmeal, whole wheat

USDA Organic ingredients

DON'T BUY IT IF IT CONTAINS:

any kind of Meat/Poultry by-products

Animal fat

Corn

BHT/BHA or Ethozyquin EQ

Artificial colors, flavors

Added sweeteners

Don't be misled by pictures and advertisements of dog food bags

that may influence your selections.

Give us a call at Paws Inn Resort for help selecting a more nutritious food for your dog. You will notice many improvements in your dog's health and appearance, such as:

Thicker, more shiny coat

Less licking of feet (sign of allergy)

Scratching subsides

Better behavior

Fewer ear infections

Safe Dog or NOT?!

2009-06-16T10:25:00.004-05:00

How do you tell if a dog is "safe" or not? What body language does it use?

What's the best way to meet a dog for the first time?

What if a strange dog runs up or chases you?

Can you name two things you should never do to a dog?

If you or the children in your life do NOT know these answers, the risk of a painful dog bite increases dramatically. Find out more!

A Spring in Her Step!

2009-04-06T11:56:00.023-05:00

Shadow, our 8-year-old black Lab started limping one day, about a year ago. We thought she injured herself fetching tennis balls, but the limping continued. At the vet we found out she had some arthritis starting and prescribed medication. The med helped, but the long-term side effects were not good, so we tried to limit it, which caused her pain to come and go. Thinking her fetching days were over, I had a conversation with Jodi at Paws Inn. She suggested Joint Complete, a natural supplement...it has been a miracle product for Shadow! She no longer limps or shows any sign of pain, and her fetching is better than ever. The best things is, there are no side effects. Thanks so much to the experts at Paws Inn for the great advice!

~Chanda L.

Our Golden Retriever, Lucy, met Jodi eight years ago at her first puppy class and began going to Paws Inn for boarding soon after that. It is reassuring for us to know that Jodi is a Vet Tech, so she recognizes any health issues before they become serious. Upon her recommendation, we are feeding Nature's Variety and the Joint Complete has added spring to Lucy's step.

~Jim & Carol O.

GOOD NEWS! Only $17.99 for a 32 oz. bottle!

(sugg.retail price $29)

A dog or cat under 15# only needs 1/4 oz. a day; 16-50# needs 1/2 oz.; 51-100# needs 1 oz.

Dogs and cats over five years old benefit from a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement. JOINT COMPLETE liquid is a superior product. Just pour it over the food once a day - good tasting beef flavor. What a relief it will be for your pet!

ONE MORE SUCCESS STORY!

I have an 11-year-old Mastiff , to whom I have been giving glucosamine for a few years now. Jodi at Paws Inn Resort recommended I give Joint Complete a try as a supplement. Not only did my dog like it ,but she was very noticeably moving more easily and didn't have as much trouble getting up. But if that wasn't enough to convince me, I ran out and hadn't planned on picking more up for a couple days...my dog could barely move and struggled to pull herself to her feet. I went to get more that day! Joint Complete makes that big of a difference !

Paws Inn Resort can certify your dog to become a Canine Good Citizen?

What is the Canine Good Citizen (CGC)?

Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Paws Inn Resort's training classes Paws Insight Levels 1 & 2 cover all the areas in the CGC testing for you to have your dog become the well mannered pet that you will enjoy! You can then go on and test for the Canine Good Citizen certification right at Paws Inn on the designated date of testing we set up.

If you have any more questions on the CGC testing or any of our training classes, please call us at 952-353-8006! Also, go to the AKC's website to read more about the CGC at www.akc.org.

Bob-A-Lot

2009-03-02T15:25:00.003-06:00

The Bob-A-Lot recently won the bronze award for best new product at the HH Backer Pet Trade Show. It can be filled with treats or food in a top or bottom chamber, and then must be manipulated by the dog's nose or feet to extract the goodies inside. Both the top and bottom chambers feature adjustable openings to regulate the difficulty in which the dog removes the treats. It holds up to three cups of food in a variety of sizes, and is a great way to feed and exercise your dog. The Bob-A-Lot is made from a durable polymer with an anti-slip coating on the bottom. One size is appropriate for dogs of all sizes.

Baby it's cold outside!

2009-01-25T21:16:00.004-06:00

Mom ~ I'm bored...what can I do since I can't go outside?

BRRRRRR! Minnesota winters can be harsh and the weather can get nasty cold. This all means that our furry friends aren't able to head outside to burn off energy, which means they can get bored!

Boredom = Naughty Doggies

Dogs that aren't getting enough playtime or things to keep them busy can lead to destructive behaviors such as chewing, ripping, and destroying anything they can get their paws on (or teeth on).

Paws Inn Resort has the solution for you!

Check out our interactive toys that will keep your dog's mind stimulated while inside your home. We have Bouncy Bones, Treat Balls, Puzzle toys, and SO MUCH MORE! Stop in today to pick up a new toy for your dog to entertain themselves with and to keep the "naughty dog" from entering your house.

Late but awesome find!

Book Review

2009-01-20T17:39:00.002-06:00

Summary

Play is fun, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just goofy or frivolous. Play is powerful stuff, and it has a profound influence on your relationship with your dog. This engagingly written booklet shows how play can enhance your relationship with your dog, improve your dog’s responsiveness, and provide your dog with the mental and physical exercise he or she needs. Inside is up-to-date research on how to tell your dog you want to play (most of us aren’t very good at it!), some charming tricks and games to wow your friends, and an important section on how not to play with your dog. If you'd like a happier, more responsive dog and a closer relationship with each other, then this booklet is for you.

Jodi gives this book a thumbs up!

Jodi believes this is an short, easy read for dog owners of all levels. She likes how it uses play to enhance your relationship and it gives examples of games to play as well as how to implement learning while teaching them. To name a few games, they recommend Ball, Find It, Tricks including Sniffing on Cue, Jumping Through a Hoop. If you are looking for more organized classes, it runs through and explains classes you can look for and join. Most of all, it just plain tells you how to play with your dog! Jodi feels this is a great book for those of you with new puppies all the way through senior dogs.

Here is where Jodi found this awesome book!

Paws Inn Resort now offers Doggie Daycare for your pet! Come join us for a great time of play, training, and socializing! Come for one day or every day! Your pet will love it!

We work on socializing with other dogs, people, and kids. It's a great idea if you have a small puppy that needs help potty training or help on some basic training needs. Did I mention they will get lots of playtime? They will be one tired pup when you pick them up which means they will be happy and too tired to get into trouble when you get home!

Our daycare special through the end of the year is $15 a day!

Catch Up and Lola love playtime and are becoming best of friends!
Wouldn't you love to join in on the fun at daycare?

We are working on sitting nice and not jumping up...aren't we doing a great job?

All About Me!

When is your birthday? 2/24/06, the day my moms adopted me from the Humane Society. I was a stray. Already about a year old, I was so scrawny that I had to stay “downstairs” for a month to put on some weight. I was only 11 lbs when I was adopted, but worked my way up to the big 18-pounder I am today.
Who are your human family members? Judy Nelson and Colleen Devine
Do you share the house with a cat/bird/critter? Not on purpose. Last year we had a squirrel in the attic.
Who is the boss in your house? Colleen
Do you have a doggie girlfriend/boyfriend? It’s going to be Bucky Adelmann, but he doesn’t know that yet.
How would you spend your ideal day? Snoozin’ on the couch with Judy after having some training fun with Colleen.
Who are your best friends? Aunt Nanny, Aunt Susan, and Bucky Adelmann (but Bucky doesn’t know that yet).

Meet the newest family member!

2008-10-17T21:05:00.004-05:00

Woof! My name is Catch Up and I'm the newest family member to the Theis family. I am a Pug and was adopted to my great family just a couple weeks ago from Legacy Kennels in Lester Prairie! My name started out as Royce (as in Rolls Royce) but Marissa, my new sister, couldn't remember it. She renamed me Catch Up and it stuck! I think she named me that because I am always trying to "catch up" to everyone.

I really like living here and love going to meet new friends down at Paws Inn Resort. I'm still a little guy, but I think I'm a big guy! No fear! I love my new doggy brothers and sisters, but I don't think they know what to do about me yet. I'm trying to get them to play, but sometimes they tell me to go away! Chief, my big bro the Golden Retriever, lets me chew on his tail and chase him. What a guy! The kids really like to carry me around...I try to tell them I can walk just fine, but they like to scoop me up anyway!

I hope I get to meet you all someday, so make sure to stop by and say hi! I would really love to play with you and give you kisses! Oh and bring your furry friends too...I love meeting new friends and my mom Jodi says it's good for me to meet as many new friends as I can so I don't get scared around new friends and their humans!

See you all soon!

Woof!

Do you have it in your hearts to make room for us?

Penelope and Oliver are 2 year old littermates that were surrendered to us because there was a new baby in the family and the owner could not provide them the attention they needed. They are both beautiful cats that are very friendly and love attention. Oliver is more outgoing and laidback. Penelope is a bit more timid and unsure of new situations, but she follows her brother's lead and warms up pretty quickly. Because these two are so closely bonded, we are requiring they be adopted together. We often find them curled up in a round ball together in the shape of the yin/yang symbol--very cute!! Penelope and Oliver are sterilized, microchipped, updated on vaccinations, and come with a DVD on how to introduce your adopted cats to their new home($29 value)--their adoption fee is $250.00 for the pair. For more information, please call SW Metro Animal Rescue at 952-368-7297 ~ line 2.

Paws Inn Resort helps foster cats that are in need of socialization, medications, or whatever we can do to help out homeless kitties like Penelope and Oliver. You may find different cats here when you stop by...take time to say hi! They love the attention!

Agility Weekend with Jodi & Trooper

2008-10-08T12:38:00.005-05:00

Jodi and her Golden Retriever Trooper participated in an Agility Trial in St. Peter this past weekend and did GREAT!

They qualified in the Standard as well as the Jumpers! They had good runs and it was fun for Jodi to see Trooper get out there and do his obstacles in the awesome weather! They haven't run in over a year and Trooper still had it!

Way to go Jodi and Trooper!

Giving treats is now rewarding for the both of you. Natural BLUE Health Bars are satisfying for your dog (just watch him happily crunch away) and healthy for him too. While most treats contain corn or wheat, BLUE Health Bars don’t. Instead, our biscuits include wholesome whole grains and vegetables, and are fortified with Omega 3 fatty acids.

Kids can train too!

2008-09-29T12:03:00.002-05:00

Did you know that kids can train too as early as 3 years old?

We recommend that you have each command such as sit, down, come, etc established before bringing in the kids to "help". Once the command is understood, show the child how you perform each command and to say the command only once. We recommend the parents have the clicker while the child is doing the command. It's easier and that way you as the parents/adult can "hit" the action with the clicker when it happens without any delay. It is obviously too much for the child to work the clicker, say the command, and hold the treat.

We are looking at incorporating a kids and dogs class here at Paws Inn Resort, but would like to make sure we have the interest in a class like this. If you would be interested in having your kids work with your dog(s), please call us at 952-353-8006 or email us at pawsinnresort@frontiernet.net to let us know. We will keep you all posted with the verdict and when we can incorporate this class into our training schedule.

Rawhides

2008-07-16T16:41:00.003-05:00

Rawhides are the inner layer of the hide usually from a cow. Rawhides are given to pets as toys (keep them busy) and to help their teeth. Many dogs (especially puppies) have an inner instinct to chew. Rawhides give dogs something "acceptable" to chew on as well as benefiting from the action of chewing by putting pressure on their gums and scraping their teeth helping with dental health.

Rawhides can be used by every dog, but there are situations to watch out for.

* Rawhides are not to be used by dogs with a history of vomiting, diarrhea, allergies, or those on a special diet until you check with your vet first.

* When giving your dog a rawhide, ALWAYS SUPERVISE them to make sure they don't have any signs of allergies, inability to chew, or in case they may choke. When the rawhide gets too small where it could be swallowed, we recommend it be taken away to deter any choking hazards. Please do this with all dogs of any age or breed. Choking can happen within seconds, and we don't need any unhappy situation occurring in your home.

* Limit the quanities of rawhides and always watch the size of rawhide you are giving your pet. Make sure to correlate the size of the bone to the size of your dog, i.e giving a small rawhide to a Newfoundland would just be ridiculous and unsafe for the dog.

* Check to see where your rawhides are made. US MADE RAWHIDES ARE BEST!! Other countries such as China, Thailand, and India don't have the thorough processing requirements as we do here in the United States. In these countries, salmonella, lead, pesticides, arsenic, insecticides and antibiotics can be added into rawhides. Some places even use dog or cat skin that may not be recognizable to the human eye. Yuck! Please avoid any rawhides/bones made in these countries! Support the US!

* There are calories in rawhides. Please don't use rawhides as a food source, only as a special treat in conjunction to their well balanced and healthy diet. Moderation is key! Some say that 2 hours of chewing a day is sufficient for most pets per day.

Paws Inn Resort carries a great line of US made rawhides and bones. Stop in today and get some for your pet. Always make sure to follow the above guidelines when giving your pet a rawhide. We want your pets happy and healthy for many years to come!

Weekly Special - Brite Bites

2008-07-11T12:03:00.008-05:00

Weekly Special at Paws Inn Resort

for the week of 7/14-7/20

Buy 5/ Get 5 Free!

Bright Bites Daily Dental Treats are the fun way to help keep your dog's teeth free of plaque and tartar. Your dog will love eating this star-shaped treat!

Plaque and tartar on the teeth cause gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis not only leads to a painful mouth and loose teeth, but also allows bacteria in the mouth easy entry into the bloodstream, potentially leading to heart or kidney disease. Bright Bites help maintain a healthier mouth, which leads to better overall health.

Developed by veterinarians, Bright Bites are the first step in promoting good oral hygiene and preventing gum disease. Their shape and texture help to fight plaque and tartar, and promote whiter teeth.

Bright Bites come in 3 flavors

Cinnamon

Spearmint

Peppermint

and 3 sizes

Small - dogs up to 15 lbs

Medium - dogs 15-40 lbs

Large - dogs 40 lbs and over
