Pet Summer Safety Tips

Welcome to the lazy days of barbecues and swimming pools!! Make them even better by sharing them with your favorite pet. By following a few summer pet safety tips, you can keep your animal friends healthy and enjoy the months of sun and fun.

• If your dog is outside on a hot day, make sure he has a shady spot to rest in. Dog houses are not good shelter during the summer as they can trap heat. You may want to fill a child’s wading pool with fresh water for your dog to cool off in.
• Never leave a pet unattended in the car on a warm or sunny day. Cars quickly heat up to a dangerous temperature, even with the window slightly open.
• Avoid strenuous exercise on extremely hot days. Take walks in the early mornings or evenings, when the sun’s heat is less intense.

• Pet rabbits should be kept indoors because they don’t tolerate heat well. Keeping a rabbit indoors will provide protection from predators that might try to attack a rabbit in an outdoor hutch.
•  Be on the lookout for early symptoms of your pet overheating: excessive panting and drooling, bright red gums, weakness, and balance problems. As the condition worsens, pets may experience labored breathing, lethargy, and even seizures. You can cool down an overheated pet with cold water or towels and by offering ice chips or small bowls of water.
• Never use any products meant for people on your pets, insect repellants, sunscreens and other products can be harmful or deadly if ingested, and at the very least can cause serious skin irritations.  We recommend keeping Vet Aid Products on hand. Summer uses include but are not limited to; burns, blisters, bug bites, skin irritations.
• Ticks love pets, during tick season check your pet daily for ticks.  At the start of spring check in with your vet and get the necessary flea and tick medications.
• Poisons. Keep your cleaners, insecticides and fertilizers away from your pets. Lots of pets, especially puppies and kittens, suffer fatal accidents or deaths when their curiosity leads them to explore chemicals used around the house.
• Asphalt and concrete can be very hot on the dogs feet during the summer. Walk them in grass or  the evening when the sidewalks are cooler and you won’t chance burning the bottom of your dog’s feet. If by chance, your pet does burn their pads, be sure to apply Vet Aid Foam 5x daily.
• All animals are susceptible heat related stress, so in the warmer months we need to pay attention to how all of our pets are coping with the heat. For ectothermic pets like reptiles and amphibians this is especially critical. So make sure you taking every precaution with ALL pet’s during this extreme heat.
• Be prepared for any of these incidences. Vet Aid  recommends always having a First Aid Kit, if you are a pet owner. Our products are a great addition to any First Aid Kit for multiple reasons; multi-use, remains sterile with multi pet use, 5 year shelf life, compact, safe and effective for ALL animals.

What to do for Chin Acne on Animals

Canine acne is a benign self-limiting disease of the chin and lips of young dogs. Short-coated dogs, such as boxers, bulldogs and Rottweilers, are at increased risk for acne. The condition starts at puberty around 5 to 8 months of age. Most dogs improve with age and the condition typically resolves after one year of age. The exact pathogenesis has not been established. Genetics, hormones and trauma have been hypothesized to play a role.

What to Watch For

•Red bumps (papules) and blackheads (comedones) are usually noted on the chin and lips of young dogs. They may become infected and pus can be expressed from these lesions.

•When infection is present itching may develop and the dog may start rubbing his face against carpet and furniture. Diagnosis A clinical diagnosis of acne is usually made considering the breed, the age of onset and appearance of the lesions.

When you see these above conditions beginning to form, act NOW! Don;t wait to see if it goes away on it’s own…Vet Aid has designed and patented a formula that allows non professionals to be at ease when using. No harsh chemicals, not possible to overuse, safe, effective, all natural, no worries if sprayed in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, genital areas!! If you see any kind of pimple, redness, swelling around your dog’s nose and shin area, immediately begin the use of Vet Aid Spray! My dogs love it! We say, time to spray the chins and they come over for their turn! Nothing is more stressful than, wondering if you’re overusing it, or worried about using near their mouth, that kind of stuff is stressful!

We recommend spraying at least 3-5 times daily. With all the cases that have come into Vet Aid Products so far, the results have been seen in 3-5 days.  Photos below are a case of Chin Acne before the use of Vet Aid Spray and 7 days later…

Canine Pyoderma Case

As you can see the pyoderma is beginning to granulate. The yellow you see is actually not infection, it is the skin drying up. These pictures are the progress as of June 2. Stay tuned…

 

Canine Pyoderma Case

Pyoderma

The primary cause of pyoderma in dogs is Staphylococcus intermedius.
Pyoderma is the second most common inflammatory skin disease of dogs. Flea allergy is most common and often complicated by secondary pyoderma.
The major predisposing factors for pyoderma in the US are allergic dermatitis and chronic use of glucocorticoids.

Pyoderma is classified by:

Depth of lesion
surface pyodermas
superficial pyodermas
deep pyodermas

What is pyoderma?

Pyoderma is a bacterial infection of the skin. It is very common in dogs and uncommon in cats. Pyoderma frequently occurs as a secondary problem to some underlying condition or health problem.

What causes pyoderma?

Pyoderma is caused most frequently by Staphylococcus, a type of bacteria. Other bacteria, such as E. coli, also can invade previously infected skin. Several risk factors may cause an animal to be more likely to develop pyoderma. These risk factors include:

Parasites, such as fleas or mange mites
Allergies, such as flea, food, contact, or hereditary allergies
Hormonal disorders, such as hypothyroidism (low production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland)
Inadequate immune system, such as in young animals or those taking steroids
Animals with short coats, skin folds, or calloused skin
Trauma from grooming, scratching, or rooting in dirt or garbage
The German shepherd dog has a deep pyoderma that may respond to treatment only partially and frequently recurs

What are the signs of pyoderma?

Pyoderma frequently appears as a rash. It often affects the trunk, chin, bridge of the nose, and feet but it also may be generalized over the entire body. Skin lesions can have a sudden or gradual onset. The animal may or may not itch. If the underlying cause is an allergy, the itching usually comes before the rash. The rash or lesions on the skin may appear as small bumps, pus-filled pimples or pockets of pus, or blood-filled blisters. There can be crusting, scaling, and discolored spots on the skin. The skin may be inflamed (red and hot). Hair loss can occur, giving the animal a “moth-eaten” look.

If a hormonal disorder is the underlying cause, signs can include excessive thirst and excessive urination, pendulous abdomen, lethargy, weight gain, or signs of feminization in male dogs.

How is pyoderma diagnosed?

Pyoderma is diagnosed upon history and physical examination and by diagnostic procedures involving the skin. Skin rashes can be caused by a variety of agents so the veterinarian will attempt to differentiate between conditions with similar skin lesions. Routine laboratory tests, such as complete blood counts (CBCs) and blood chemistries may reflect the underlying cause (for example, anemia due to hypothyroidism). Skin scrapings, allergy testing, and hormonal tests may identify the underlying cause. Microscopic examination of cells (cytology) from the skin may differentiate fungal infections from pyoderma. Cultures of the skin lesions, most preferably of an intact pustule, may reveal the causative organism or organisms. Skin biopsy (removal and examination of skin tissue) may be needed.

How is pyoderma treated?

Pets usually are treated as outpatients except for animals with severe, generalized pyodermas. These animals may require intravenous (through a vein) fluids or medications or daily whirlpool baths. A hypoallergenic diet is provided if food allergy has been determined to be the cause. Otherwise, a high-quality, well-balanced diet should be given to the pet. Excessive dietary supplements, such as vitamins, should be avoided.

Pets with pyoderma are treated with a variety of antibiotics. Some antibiotics may cause vomiting and giving them with food may avoid this side effect. Other antibiotics should not be given with food. The veterinarian will provide information on using antibiotics appropriately. Antibiotics usually are continued for one-to-three months, depending on the severity of the pyoderma. In addition to antibiotic therapy, the pet may benefit from medicated shampoos or whirlpool baths that can help remove surface debris and crusted drainage. Routine bathing with medicated shampoos may help prevent recurrences.

What is the prognosis for animals with pyoderma?

The prognosis (outcome) for animals with pyoderma is variable. If the underlying cause is identified and effectively treated, the pyoderma may resolve successfully. Otherwise, the pyoderma may not respond well to treatment or it may recur frequently.  Above info obtained from; www.vetmedcenter.com

Below is the most recent case of deep pyoderma that has come into Vet Aid Products. We will be updating this story with pictures soon. We look forward to seeing the results in this case. Below these I am posting a prior success with the use of Vet Aid Products on a Deep Pyoderma case…Stay tuned!!

Go Green

On behalf of Earth Day April 22. 2011 we wanted to provide pet pwners with just a few tips that we found for pet owners to go green.

 

• Leash Up Don’t Let Loose

When it comes to keeping pets indoors (or under control when out in public) many pet owners fail. On first glance it doesn’t seem like this would be a problem but it is.

Keeping pets in (or under control out in public) actually helps protect wildlife from habitat disturbances, disease, and predation.

This is a big issue up in San Francisco where there is a dog war over the habitat disturbances of wild animals and dogs unleashed upon the area.

• Say No to Junk Foods

Animal by-products (low grade waste from dead, dying, diseased, or disabled animals) are used in many pet foods.

You are what you eat takes on a different meaning if you give it a little thought.

Why would you feed your pet foods that are not fit for human consumption?

Nutrition is important to disease resistance and for maintaining health–which will ultimately help you save on vet bills.

Natural and organic pet foods are better for the environment and our pets.

Consider supporting sustainable agriculture and humanely framed foods that don’t contain hormones and are minimally processed–it really is the way to go.

Also avoid pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial preservatives, artificial ingredients, and genetically engineered ingredients.

• Scoop That Poop!

Cleaning up after your pet prevents the transmission of parasites and other diseases through the environment or the water table.

Biodegradable poop bags or composting with something like the Doggie Dooley are better options than using plastic bags that stay in the landfills for eons.

Cat owners are also encouraged to move away from clay litter because the clay is strip mined–which is not earth friendly.

Try soy, wheat, or some of the other natural cat litters on the market.

Don’t forget that clay litters contain silca dust or sodium bentonite–both can create problems for your kitty.

• Recycled Goods

Get crafty by making toys with recycled materials or by purchasing earth friendly toys supports sustainable manufacturers.

• Go Natural

Natural products & cleaning aids are safer for your pets, your family, and the environment. Contrary to popular belief, non-toxic shampoos and gentle cleaning aids get the job done just as well as those containing toxic chemicals.

• Get Crafty

Grow your own–catnip or cat grass.

Growing veggies is a great way to add good foods to your pet’s food bowl and there are many herbs can be used to make natural pest control products.

Don’t forget that you can make toys from yarn or fabrics.

April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month

Monday, April 04, 2011 — April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month and the American Red Cross offers tips to the millions of pet owners as a way to keep their animals safe and healthy, especially as warm weather approaches.

Many Red Cross chapters across the country offer Pet First Aid courses. The Red Cross has also developed Dog First Aid and Cat First Aid Guides with DVDs to help you care for your pet. From basic responsibilities like spaying/neutering and giving medications, to performing CPR and preparing for disasters, these guides provide the information pet owners need to keep their pets healthy and safe. Contact your local chapter to see when classes are available. The guides are available through your local Red Cross chapter or you can visit the Red Cross Store.

The National Pet Owners Survey compiled by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association points out that 39 percent of households in the United States own at least one dog and 33 percent own at least one cat. “Warmer weather can bring certain dangers for pets,” says Dr. Deborah Mandell, Pet Safety Advisor for the Red Cross. Mandell reminds pet owners to “Know what is normal for your pet – gum color, heart and pulse rate, body temperature, breathing rate – so you can recognize when something is wrong.”

One of the most common problems pets face in the warmer weather is heat stroke. This is because they are not yet acclimated to the warm temperatures. Some signs of heat stroke include heavy panting and being unable to calm down, even when lying down. The pet’s gum color may be brick red, their pulse rate may be fast, or they may not be able to get up. If someone suspects their pet has heat stroke, take the pet’s temperature rectally. If the temperature is above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, cool the animal down. The easiest way to do this is by using the water hose. Stop cooling the animal when the temperature reaches 103 degrees. Bring the pet to the veterinarian immediately as heat stroke can lead to severe organ dysfunction and damage.

Mandell says that the inside of a car can quickly reach 120 degrees during the warm weather months. Pet owners should not leave their furry friends in the car, even for short trips. This can quickly lead to heatstroke.

At this time of year, windows and doors in the home are more likely to be open. Pet owners should know that animals may try to get outside which increases the risk of trauma from jumping or falling from windows or being hit by vehicles. Some plants and flowers can be hazardous. For instance, many lilies are very poisonous to cats. Visit the ASPCA Poison Control web site to find out which plants and flowers are poisonous to animals. If someone thinks their animal is ill or may have ingested a poisonous substance, they should contact their veterinarian.

Pet owners can follow these important steps to help keep their pet healthy:

• Give pets plenty of exercise
• Make sure pets have plenty of fresh, cool water
• Make sure pets get regular yearly checkups with their veterinarian, and are up to date on vaccines, especially rabies
• Get pets spayed or neutered
• Keep dogs on leashes outside – another animal may be too much temptation
• Know how to perform CPR and provide basic first aid until veterinary care is available

Don’t forget to include pets in emergency plans as well:

• Plan to take pets along if ordered to evacuate.
• Most Red Cross shelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety concerns and other considerations. Know which friends, relatives, hotels, boarding facilities accept pets in an emergency.
• Assemble a portable kit with emergency supplies for pets:
  • Leashes, harnesses and/or carriers
  • Food, drinking water, bowls, manual can opener
  • Medications and copies of medical records
  • Current photos of the pets

The Red Cross hopes pets and their owners have a great spring and summer and points out that Pet First Aid Awareness Month is a perfect time to learn how to protect the family pet from hazards. Additional tips on how to keep pets in good health are located on the Red Cross Pets and Disaster Safety Checklist.

Vet Aid Products would like to add to this and show our support to the April Pet First Aid Awareness. We feel strongly that the steps are taken to keep your pets in the best possible condition and out of harms way.

Hot Spots

The above pictures are of a Rottweiler/Basset Hound mix that was treated for hot spots with the use of Vet Aid Spray and Foam. You can see….

Hot spots are a rather common skin problem. They can happen any time of the year, warmer months being more common. The causes can vary, so it’s best to visit with your veterinarian to determine the cause.

For those that are not quite sure what a hot spot is, a hot spot is a localized area of skin inflammation and infection. The infection can be superficial or deep. Other common names for this condition include: moist dermatitis, pyotraumatic dermatitis, and acute moist dermatitis.These skin problems are usually caused by biting, licking or scratching, which also fuels the fire and makes them worse. It is important with  hot spots to find the underlying cause to break the vicious cycle of continued skin trauma and inflammation. Vet Aid Products has a natural enzyme in it called Lysozyme which  naturally reduces redness and inflammation.

Redness, oozing, pain, and itchiness are all signs. Hair loss is common along with bad odor. Sometimes with long hair dogs the hair will knot over top of the affected area, so make sure you keep a close eye out and keep your pet brushed.

Most of the time with hot spots they appear all of a sudden and then grow very quickly. This becomes a vicious cycle. The more he or she itch/bite/ lick and scratch, encourages it to grow bigger, leading to more growth and more irritation, you get the idea, not good! So be on top of it. The second you start noticing skin irritation or itchiness check your pet over for any noticable cause, then we recommend applying Vet Aid Foam 5x daily. Remember with our products you cannot over treat! What a wonderful thing that is, to not have to worry about the safety of a product!

As we stated before it is always a safe bet to contact your veterinary in any situation, in case there may be an underlying cause that needs further attention. 

Vet Aid Products is Revolutionizing the Face of Veterinary Medicine so we always encourage you to ask your Vet about our products!

“I discovered my dog’s hot spot on 03/10/11, I shaved the hair away from it and went to the store to purchase a hot spot treatment. I brought him to the veterinary clinic where I work the next day and my coworkers suggested trying Vet Aid’s spray on it since we were sampling the product. I applied it to Stud’s hot spot once in the morning and once before bed each day.  He seemed to tolerate the spray better than the product I had bought for him so I discontinued the other product and continued with the spray.  I personally enjoyed that the spray didn’t have any scent to it, some of the hot spot sprays I encountered smelled horrible so Vet Aid’s spray was a nice surprise.  I think the use of a combination of medication and the Vet Aid spray certainly helped my dog heal up very quickly/nicely.”

Winter Skin and Paw Health

Although here in Florida we don’t deal with extreme winter  weather, we do have our frigid days that cause our Floridian pet’s skin to dry and paw’s to crack, making it uncomfortable for them. So whether you are in extreme temperatures with snow and ice or just dealing with slightly cold weather, there are things you can do to ensure you are helping your pet as much as possible this season!

Lets Start with skin

During the winter months, low humidity is very common, and our pets are often kept indoors as much as possible, exposed to dry heat from furnaces as well as dry environment conditions. Without enough moisture in the air, skin problems can occur.

To help your pet during this dry chilly weather and help create healthy skin and coat, try a few of these suggestions.

Avoid bathing your dog as much as possible. Bathing will remove essential oils from the skin, which increases the  development of  dry, flaky skin. If bathing is absolutely necessary, use a soothing oatmeal shampoo, followed by Vet Aid’s  Foam. Our patented sea salt foam will help lock in moisture and sooth your pet’s skin providing an optimal environment for healthy skin.

Feed a high quality food. Ask your Veterinary what they would recommend for your pet.

Ask your Veterinary about adding fish oil to your pets food.  Omega 3 fatty acids have become very popular, recommended by veterinarians, not only for treating allergies or skin conditions in pets, but are also showing favor in other cases as well. Veterinarians are discovering that Omega 3 fatty acids can be valuable for a variety of conditions. Be sure to talk to your Veterinary Professional before making any decisions or changes with your pet and their diet. 

Be sure to brush your dog often to remove dander and any shedded, dead hair. This will also help bring the skin’s essential oils to the surface.

Pet Paw Health

When there is ice and snow, you can expect various melting products to be on the ground. Most, typically made of salt. When your pet walks through the ice and snow, particles of salt, sand or even ice crystals can become lodged in the webbing of their paw. Their paws are not the only thing of concern however, they can also ingest the salts by licking their paws, which can cause illness. So take precaution and don’t let your pet lick their paws nor your boots after being out in these conditions.

Help keep your pet’s paws healthy this winter by following these suggestions:

After a walk or play in the snow, wash off your pet’s feet. Removing  ice and road salt that can cause excessive dryness. After washing  your pet’s paws, you can then moisturize their pads with Vet Aid’s Foam. Our foam will also serve as a liquid band-aid if your pet has already had some damage to their pad. It will moisturize cracks, sooth burns, locking in moisture. Vet Aid’s Sea Salt based formula will provide nutrients and minerals with natural defense enzymes to create the most optimal healing environment. Keep in mind if your dealing with an open, secreting wound you will want to use Vet Aid’s Spray.

Keep the hair between your pet’s toes trimmed to reduce the chance of collecting ice and snow crystals.

You can also use booties for your pet to offer extra protection against these conditions.

It is naturally found in many organisms such as plants, insects, birds, reptiles and mammals. Tests show that topically applied lysozyme breaks down more than 650 different types of viruses, fungi, bacteria and disease. Lysozyme attacks the cell wall of certain bacteria by cutting the cell in numerous spots, gradually weakening the cell wall. When the osmotic pressure within the cell is too much for the weakened wall to withstand, the bacterium will burs
• Sodium Benzoate is the sodium of “benzoic acid”. Sodium Benzoate has been used by food manufactures for over 80 years to inhibit microbial growth and can prevent the growth of almost all microorganisms (yeast, bacteria and fungi).
