Proper dog bite treatment for minor bites is a fairly straightforward process. Since all dog bites carry a risk of infection, cleaning the wound immediately greatly reduces this risk.

Although some dog breeds are considered more aggressive than others, almost any dog ​​can attack if threatened. For severe bites, you should take the victim to a doctor immediately. Calling 911 is the best option in the event of a serious bite or maiming. However, if the bite is small, you may decide to treat the wound yourself.

here are nine dog bite treatment Tips for minor bites:

1. Gently wash the wound with soap and water. Betadine soap is the best.

2. Apply pressure to the wound with a clean washcloth or cloth to stop bleeding.

3. Apply an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin to the puncture site, once bleeding has stopped, to help prevent infection.

4. Apply a sterile bandage to the wound.

5. Elevate the injured area to a level above the heart, if possible, to help reduce swelling.

6. Call your GP or take the bite victim to an urgent care center if you feel it is necessary.

7. Report the incident to local authorities, at their discretion. This can be the police or city animal control shelter.

8. Follow the doctor’s instructions to continue the treatment. This may include taking antibiotics and bandaging the wound daily. If a doctor has not been consulted, change the bandage and ointment twice a day until the wound heals.

9. Call your doctor’s office and make an appointment to have your wound checked if you suspect infection after attempting self-treatment.

Following these simple steps should reduce any complications as a result of the bite wound. My personal recommendation is to see your doctor if bleeding is involved.

In cases where you do not know the dog that has bitten you, and therefore cannot observe it to see if it gets sick, you should call the doctor because there is always a risk of rabies. Although contracting rabies from a pet is quite rare these days, due to government-required vaccinations, rabies is always a possibility that needs to be addressed.

Bottom line, use common sense when calling a doctor when the situation calls for it. Clean the wound, stop the bleeding, keep an antibacterial ointment and a clean bandage on the wound.

The benefits of a cat tree are far reaching. Cats, despite their willingness to sleep, have a lot of energy and can use more than 30 minutes of play a day. Getting them involved is crucial and often frustrating as they reject or get bored with one store-bought toy after another.

That’s why I love cat condos or climbing towers. Cats naturally gravitate towards the highest points in the house during sleep and play. Cat furniture provides an outlet for safety, relaxation, and playful bursts of energy. Most cat trees are usually wrapped in high-quality carpeting with sisal rope throughout. I would recommend wood or PVC materials as cardboard will quickly degrade with any activity.

Placing the cat tree by a window provides your cat with endless hours of visual and scent entertainment, and helps prevent boredom. When the warm days approach, you will probably see your kitty lying on one of the levels of the cat tree, basking in the maximum comfort.

For older cats who have trouble moving around, a shorter cat tree with beds may be a good option. But don’t underestimate a cat’s desire to climb and jump levels at any age, not to mention the physical benefits!

High-quality trees can be expensive, and their price ranges drastically. You really do get what you pay for, up to a point. Another option is to build your own, and while that sounds daunting to most people, with clear instructions and some basic materials, it can be easily done. I recommend looking at all the options based on your budget, the size of your family of pets, and what type of furniture would best fit into the interior of your home. Small spaces will work well with vertical furniture, while larger homes have more room to experiment with fun designs. Build a piece based on your cat’s personality and interest!

So you love animals and you think it would be great to be a pet sitter so you can take care of dogs and cats every day. While it’s fun taking care of different animals all the time, I want you to know what working with pets is all about. There is more than you think.

Do not misunderstand. I love what I do, and I enjoy it. But, most people just don’t realize what it takes to be a professional pet sitter or dog walker. When looking to hire someone to work for me, I look for certain characteristics in that person to see if she can handle the job and how dedicated she really is.

Saying you love animals is not enough. Pet sitters must be dedicated to working through the different situations they will be faced with. And, they must be able to deal with very stressful situations. Any time you hold an animal’s life in your hands, there is stress involved.

I am targeting those who may want to work for a pet sitting company and do the work of caring for the animals, but not have to worry about running a business. Let me tell you what I look for in a pet sitter or dog walker when hiring.

Work for a pet sitting company

As a pet sitting business owner and dog walker, I have worked very hard to earn and maintain a very good reputation for what we do. When I hire someone to work for me, I make sure that person will do everything they can to help maintain that good reputation.

This means I am looking for pet sitters and dog walkers who care deeply about the animals they care for and who treat our clients with the utmost respect and courtesy. This can’t be ‘just a job’ for the people I hire.

When looking for a pet sitter job, you need to decide what type of work you would like to do. Will you just do dog walks at noon, just sit on vacation pets, or do both? Will you be doing overnight pet sitting sessions where you spend the night at the client’s home taking care of their pets and home? This depends on what you want your hours to be.

Will you be willing to work on vacation? The holidays are a busy time for any pet care company. I am looking for nannies who have no problem working on vacation. This means they may not have time for family events, or must work their family time around their pet-sitting schedule.

Some pet care companies will hire you as an independent contractor and others will hire you as an employee. This means that if you are an independent contractor, you are a sole proprietor. You must withhold and pay your own taxes, you are responsible for your own medical care, insurance, supplies and tools, and you must pay for any training you need. However, you are flexible in the way you do your job.

If you are an employee, your taxes will be withheld, your employer must provide you with supplies and tools to do your job, and must pay or reimburse you if you use your own vehicle. As an employee, he must do his job according to his employer’s instructions.

Do you like to take a lot of vacations? If you work as an independent contractor, that means you don’t get paid if you don’t work. If you’re an employee, you may not have much vacation time yet. Will you work weekends, mornings, afternoons and nights? This is a typical schedule for a pet sitter, week after week.

These are just a few of the many questions you will need to ask yourself and be prepared to answer when looking to work for a pet sitting company. Being a pet sitter allows you some flexibility in your schedule, but you’ll still have a schedule.

Will you be looking for a full-time position or just part-time? You should let your potential employer know how much work you are looking for and see if this fits with what the pet sitting company is looking for. If you only want to do this job for a little extra money, and only plan to serve a few clients, this doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be hired by a pet sitting company.

For my company, as long as I know that this is the case, I know that it will only be a pet sitter from time to time. This means that you may not be as reliable as another sitter, but you could be an important backup.

Short List of Pet Care Considerations

As a pet sitter or dog walker, there are many things you need to be aware of and keep in mind. A true professional has to deal with many things. I have listed just a few.

• Having your day divided into segments of visits, leaving little time in between
• walking dogs in the cold
• walking dogs in the heat
• walking dogs in the rain
• Walking dogs in the snow (depending on the location)

• Be able to walk dogs up to 150 pounds.
• Basically, be available at all times

• Put a lot of miles on your vehicle by driving from customer to customer
• Be professional and courteous to your customers

Like I said, this is just a small list of things a professional pet sitter has to deal with. There’s so much more, but I don’t want to go on for days. If you think you have what it takes to be a pet sitter then you are a true animal lover who loves hard work and will do anything for the animals in your care.

If you feel that this list is not a problem for you, then I know that you would truly go above and beyond the call of duty to care for the animals in your care. These are the type of pet sitters I look for when hiring, and I know this is what any other potential employer will be looking for as well.

The rewarding side of taking care of pets

This job can be very rewarding. When you do everything in your power to make sure the pets you care for feel loved and happy, you’ll feel like you’ve made a difference, because you have. When you’re walking a customer’s dog, both of you enjoying the experience, it’ll make you smile a big cheesy grin as you walk by. Cats and dogs have been shown to help lower blood pressure. When the dogs or cats you’re taking care of snuggle up to you, you can almost feel their health improve every second.

This is a quick look at what it means to be a professional pet sitter or dog walker. So do you want to be a pet sitter? I hope this has helped you decide if this is right for you or not. I have either made you realize that you really don’t want to work as a professional pet sitter, or I have simply reassured you that this is what you do because you love animals unconditionally.

Being on the Tippecanoe River, we had to visit the battlefield, which named after William Henry Harrison, who also ran for president under the Tippecanoe and Tyler flag. The battle is called “Where two cultures collided.” As European settlers began to settle the Northwest Territory (OH, IN, IL, etc.), Native Americans were driven from their hunting and farming lands. The European mindset was that land was owned by the individual as property. The Indians believed that one could claim the land, but in reality it was everyone’s for hunting and general use. Taking a lesson from the formation of the United States, Tecumseh, a Shawnee chief, dreamed of organizing the territory’s many tribes into a confederation and creating his own government like that of the US. He had a younger brother, known as El Prophet, who claimed to divine the future. He had been a drunkard and a scoundrel, but he was born again. Like many born against, he became a fan of returning to the ‘old’ ways of life before European settlement. The capital of his new nation was at Prophetstown, situated on a hill near the Tippecanoe River. James Madison found out about this plan and told Harrison, the governor of the territory, to do something about it. While Tecumseh was out recruiting new tribes to join the Confederacy, Harrison marched with his troops to face the Confederacy, without his leader.

The Prophet had another of his dreams and said that the white man’s bullets would dissolve into dust. On November 2, 1811, the Indians attacked before dawn, lost the battle, Prophetstown was burned, the Confederacy lost face, and Tecumseh was furious. Who knows what would have happened if a cool head had prevailed?

Today, the battlefield is enshrined by a wrought-iron fence, guarded by tercentennial white oaks, sentinels to the events of that cold November day. A small museum offers a balanced view of the clash of the two cultures and the events that led to the confrontation and the consequences.

About a mile away as the crow flies is Prophetstown, now a state park. A museum there describes the life of the Confederacy and the dreams of Tecumseh.

A short drive from the battlefield is West Lafayette, IN, the home of the Purdue University Boilermakers. We drove through their campus and saw many of the old Victorian houses in the city and its sister city, Lafayette.

On the way home we stopped in Delphi. The Palace of Justice has a museum and archives for genealogical research. The museum is quite quaint with memorabilia everywhere. Yes, there is an Oracle at Delphi; the high school yearbook. The city also has a canal, the Erie-Wabash Canal with a museum depicting life on the canal.

b. Lifetime – This is the reimbursement the company gives you while your pet is still alive. But if the maximum lifetime payment is reached, your animal will no longer receive coverage from the company.

vs. Per Incident: This is the money returned for each illness or injury found. If this payment is reached, you will not receive further reimbursement for the specific illness or accident.

d. Predefined Benefit Schedule – This is the compensation awarded based on the stated schedule. Before getting a plan with this payment, be sure to review each written fee schedule.

Kitty Cat Condos help cats develop their natural instincts to climb trees. Cats climb for many different reasons. Since many cats in the wild use trees to hide from larger predators or to pounce on their prey, a cat condo can be a great substitute and help meet their needs. There are many different types and sizes for these products, from simple single-story hideouts to large floor-to-ceiling models with plenty of places to climb, perch, and hide.

Due to the way cats are made, having cat condos can provide many necessary things a cat needs. They have powerful hind legs that are made only for jumping and climbing, so a cat condo can help them with exercise. Some indoor cats don’t get a chance to go outside and climb a real tree. Cats not only need to climb and jump, but they also need a safe place where they can scratch. Scratching not only helps to clean their claws, but also to remove old coverings from their claws. If you have a cat, then you know the importance of having a special place for your cat to scratch, because if they don’t, you’ll end up with shredded furniture. Others use trees to mark their territory, and having cat condos can prevent your furniture from getting sprayed.

Because cats love to climb, jump, and scratch, having kitty condos can save you money in the long run by not having to replace your valuable chairs or sofa, as well as prevent them from jumping on your shelves or bookcases and banging on the door. . your nick precious grave. Because there are so many different cat condo products available, the options can often be a bit overwhelming, but here are some tips to help you find one your cat will love.

One of the first things to look for in cat condos is a scratching area. Usually any vertical post will have some sort of rope tightened around it. This provides the rough surface that will help them trim their claws naturally. Too often people buy those pet clippers that if not used correctly can permanently damage your pet’s claws. You want the scratching post part to be high enough that your cat can stand up on her hind legs to actually get into it.

The next thing you need in a cat condo is at least one enclosed area for your cat to climb up and hide. You can even put a piece of cloth or a small blanket inside, as you may find your cat sleeping in it curled up. This is also due to their natural instincts to use trees as a hide from larger predators. In this case, they can use this place to hide from other cats or annoying children. They should also have platforms that are large enough for your cat to sit on comfortably, set at different heights and angles so that your cat can jump or climb on them and perch. Your cat condo should also have hanging toys to keep your cats entertained.

Now the most important thing about Kitty Cat condos is a stable foundation. She wants the base of her cat condo to be large and stable, so that even if her cats are playing rough on it, they won’t topple over. Some taller models have a bracket so they can be attached to the ceiling so they don’t tip over. She’ll also want her condo to have some kind of covering, like a rug, so that when her cats climb or jump, they have a surface to cling to, like real tree bark.

According to APOP, the Association for the Prevention of Pet Obesity, an estimated 54% of dogs and cats in the United States are overweight or obese. That’s about 93 million American cats and dogs that need to move! In short, this makes me sad. We live in a world where nutrition and exercise take a backseat. Obesity in adults, children, and pets is increasing rapidly. I’m not going to lecture about eating right and exercising, but it’s definitely relevant. The trend seems to have happened like this. First, our health slowly took a backseat, then our kids pick up our bad clothes, and now the pets in the household are overweight.

I know it’s hard to find the time to run with our dogs, but it’s our responsibility. Most breeds need plenty of exercise and stimulation. They need to run, not just walk, and they need challenges to overcome to get them out physically and mentally in order to be healthy. Cats can even be encouraged to exercise more with toys and games. The only key ingredient these animals are missing is you. You can always hire a dog runner, not just a walker, but someone who can run short bursts with your pet to really drain his energy. Also, it should be someone who knows about breeds and pet first aid to make sure your dog is in good hands. The benefits of exercise are endless and pretty much the same for dogs and cats as they are for humans. The most important is the fact that it helps prevent overweight. Excess fat puts your loved ones at increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, joint and skeletal disorders, and premature death. Regular activity tones muscles, strengthens bones, improves circulation, and lifts mood by increasing levels of “feel good” chemicals in the body. Dogs don’t do well in a yard all day because they don’t run laps like you might think. Wait until you get home to receive stimulation. Fit dogs, just like fit humans, feel better and sleep better. This makes people and pets happy with less medical bills.

The next step is the food they eat. Every animal is different, just like people. For example, some dogs benefit from eating scrambled eggs and others can’t stand it because their stomachs are too sensitive. Think about this when choosing food for dogs and cats. Is your pet getting enough nutrients? Is your pet’s food too high in fat? Does your pet need a supplement? All these questions can be answered by a vet. I also suggest eliminating people food for a while and reaching for organic and/or low-fat treats. Get treats that are very soft and squishy so you can break them into small pieces. Trust me, your pet doesn’t care how big the treat is, just that she gets one. This way, your pet will not feel deprived and you can still fulfill your desire to give it to her because she deserves it only tenderly. I understand how it is. Sometimes when I’m cooking, all it takes is a nice little turn of the head and before I even think about it, I’m feeding part of my dinner to my dogs. But it is a bad habit. Even if it’s your favorite food. Everything is there favorite! I once knew a woman who gave her cat chocolate milk every day even though she made him sick. She said that she couldn’t help it because she was Fluffy’s favorite. Please don’t be that person. The next time you feel the urge to feed Fido off the table, grab a squeaky toy or ball of yarn and toss them around for play. You should feel better thinking about the fact that they will live longer, happier lives, give you more companionship at a healthy weight.

It seems that things are always happening that prevent us from going for a run with our dogs. That shouldn’t stop you from doing other activities that might stimulate your pet. Cats are easy going, cutting back on their extra food and treats and then moving around with something furry until they get bored. There are even tricks you can teach your cat, just google it to learn how.

The dogs are more involved. They still need to exercise like you do, so take turns on the treadmill when the weather is bad outside. Do intervals with your pet. For example, start with a warm-up and two minutes of hard running or a hill run with a minute of rest. Get off and on the dog for a bit while you do twenty crunches, twenty jumping jacks, pushups, squats, etc. Then get back on the treadmill for two or three more intervals. You get off and repeat the floor routine while Fido jogs. He repeats as many times as he wants and this is just to give you an idea to think outside the box. If you want to watch a TV show, put the treadmill next to the couch and watch while Fido works out. Make sure he is always supervised. Some dogs accept it quickly and others need encouragement and guidance. There are also fun dog games you can play around the house to drain energy like the ‘find it’ game. You can also work on obedience at home. Teaching something new or refining skills at home where your controlled environment is perfect. This way, your pet will have fewer distractions and won’t be able to run while she practices off-leash techniques. Always look for ways to exercise your pet in your area. There are always walks, dog runs, agility classes and more to look for.

After reading this article, I can trust that you have been influenced and will spend more time exercising your pet. Take care of yourself, your family and your canine children.

Moringa and miracles, sweet dreams are made of these. Herbs are said to be the friend of the doctor and the pride of the healing gods. A tree with over 90 nutrients, treasured and celebrated in folklore, needs to be potentially harnessed by millions of people striving for the perfect discovery. This powerhouse of encapsulated nutrition with extraordinary support for the human body and mind needs to be fully revealed and investigated. It is already known as a nutritional support for the poor and malnourished populations of India and Africa. Lately, the herb, leaf, and bark of the Moringa Oleifera tree have been investigated for their ultrastructural properties of work on fungi, toxins, parasites, and cancers.

Trees in forests exhibit qualities that can rapidly inhibit plant-destroying fungi and insects. They contain molecules, enzymes, and peptides that are activated by death, threat, or extinction. They are life support structures in forests to maintain the environment, clean up pollutants, bolster their own cellular life, and accelerate self-regulating and balancing properties for their mature existence. Moringa is such a powerful tree.

Moringa is an essential supplement with chlorophyll, five times more than spirulina and wheatgrass. Chlorophyll is called the blood of the plant, and it gives life to the plant cell in sunlight, accelerating growth and life. Modern scientists extract chlorophyll and use it in topical injections or ointments along with focused light therapy. This is known as photodynamic therapy. It is a solution to reduce and evaporate malignant tumors or cancers, even internally. In 2014, Jung IL reported tumor suppressor activity in mammalian cells treated with cold-water soluble extract of Moringa oleifera leaves. Subsequent research has shown that ingredients in the watery Moringa leaf inhibit the growth of fast-spreading, deadly cancer cells in Saudi Arabian women’s breast and colorectal cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression, are possibly active after human ingestion to restore normalcy. Pharmaceutical management of this herb for cancer therapy, chemotherapy support, or even cancer prevention is a likely possibility for future alternative medicine and natural nutrition.

The power through many of its properties and ingredients to restore DNA and gene expression makes Moringa possible for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, systemic conditions, diabetes, asthma, skin disorders, brain disorders, anemia, arthritis, fungal and bacterial infestations.

A very interesting observation of this herb is in its use in inflammation. Alternative medicine experts insist that inflammation is the root of all evil. Studies involving histological analysis of the lungs have shown that the extract reduces the number of leukocytes, cures asthma and related allergies. The anti-inflammatory properties of the aqueous Moringa leaf in medicine were confirmed using a live acute inflammation model; A reduction in leukocyte migration, myeloperoxidation activity, and TNF-α and IL-1β levels was noted. These and subsequent scientific findings clearly indicate that the contribution of herbs to nutrition and health will be to support liver function, detoxification, lymphatic drainage, sugar control (loss of weight due to low sugar tolerance) and , consequently, develop immunity. Enzymes that support thyroid function contribute to weight loss and increased metabolism. Many birds are caught with one stone.

With its high amino acid profile, added with vitamins, it is a suitable vegetarian alternative to sports protein supplements. The amino acid proteins in Moringa give the user a good physical frame, elastic skin and a refined complexion. It enhances the body’s natural glutathione levels, flushing out the dark, heavy metals, and toxins that are deeply embedded in fat stores.

Better yet, Moringa is cheap and available as tablets, tea, or cosmetic oils.

Why delay? The time is now. 16 the grass.

Natural wellness has the way.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are terriers that have more than typical terrier behaviors in their ancestry. They are dogs that performed well as hunting dogs, retrievers, farm and house guards and simply as companions during the history of the breed, which originated in the country of Ireland. In the days when the Wheaten Terrier was admitted to the Irish Kennel Club, the requirements for obtaining a championship title included requirements to perform in the area of ​​”expertise” for which the dog was supposed to function.

In terrier competition, the dog had to “go to the ground” and field trials against rats, rabbits, and badgers. The Wheaten did well in these areas and was admitted to the Irish Kennel Club as a Terrier in 1937. In 1943, the Wheaten was admitted to the Kennel Club of Great Britain and it was believed that the first Wheatens reached the shores of the United States. . in 1946. The American Kennel Club’s entry of the breed into the Terrier group occurred in 1973. The breed has gradually gained popularity and now over 200 Wheaten are always shown at the annual All Terrier Show held in the county of Montgomery in Pennsylvania. .

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has a single, long coat that, as the name implies, is soft and wheat-colored. It requires almost daily brushing as it is a fine coat that “lints” easily. They are a dark apricot color when hatched and the hue gradually lightens to a wheaten gold color as adults. The Wheaten is a moderately sized dog, standing 17 to 18 inches at the shoulder, weighing 35 to 45 pounds. The dog’s eyes are usually well hidden under a “fall” of eyebrow hair and the ears are folded high on the skull, while the tail is docked.

The Wheaten is prone to developing eye and colon disorders and these things should be evaluated if the dog is to be used for breeding. It is important that buyers purchase their puppy from a reputable breeder, preferably someone who belongs to a local breed club or kennel club, as these organizations do everything they can to prevent “puppy breeders” from becoming members. Such clubs generally require breeders to sign a “code of ethical conduct” that prevents the sale of dogs without a written contract and health guarantee.

The Soft Coated Wheaten is a gentle dog that makes an excellent family companion dog. It shows little aggressiveness with other breeds and is kind to children and the elderly. He does a good job of protecting his home territory without acting too pushy. Wheat makes a good therapy dog, being just the right height for disabled people to pet from their wheelchairs.
