Welcome to Helpful Hanks Guide to a Happy Pet

2009-10-01T20:23:00.000-07:00

Hello all, Helpful Hank Here. Welcome to Helpful Hanks Guide to a happy pet.

In the coming weeks and months, we will be talking about the ones who never judge us and always love us. Our pets, whether you have a cat or dog, a lizard, fish or bird.

Our current menagerie consists of three dogs and a dove. Over the years, my husband and I have had Labs, cockers, shelties, boxers, cockatiels, doves, chickens and more.

We all love our pets. We pamper them, dress them up, give them space to run and feed them well. We make sure that they are healthy and happy. This blog will be about just that, the things that make our pets Healthy and Happy.

In our household, our pets are pretty spoiled. I avoid feeding our dog’s table scrapes. In general, they are not good for them. I do however, scramble and extra egg on Saturday mornings for the three of them to split, and have with their dog food. I also believe that different dogs react differently to different food just as humans do. However, we do know certain things are bad for our dogs and cats and we have to be aware of those things.

I was always taught that a little bacon grease in a dog’s food is good for his or her coat. However, what about the fat content? A boxer my partner had until he passed of old age would get into any box or bag of chocolate even if hidden. If he could reach it, he was going to eat it. He never showed any signs of health problems because of it. We know it’s bad for them. My Sheltie Corgi mix loves corn bread, and he seems no worse for the ware. What we have to understand is this.

Yes, there are human foods that are dangerous for our pets. We must be aware of them and avoid them but we also have to be reasonable about it. We can’t always prevent our furry little friends from getting into types of food that may tickle there taste buds but are bad for them. They can be fast sometimes (Our lab is proof of that.) What we can do is provide them with food that is good for them and give them regular snacks so they aren’t feeling hungry all the time. We must also avoid feeding our pets from the table. I try and feed our dogs when we are about to sit down to our meal. We eat inside they eat outside (except for the corgi who is finicky but doesn’t beg from the table like the cocker and lab do (both of which, are fast eaters.)

By feeding them just before we sit down to dinner they have a regular feeding time (I do the same in the morning.) and are busy eating their food while we are eating ours. We have a yard so they can just run, play, relax and, take a potty break after they eat and before they come back in which is after we are done eating our meal.

Here is another tip. If you are going out to dinner feed and let them go to the bathroom before you leave for dinner. If you are going to a pet friendly place (as we often do), they will be much better behaved whether left at home or taken with.

Below are two lists. The first list is 10 things never to feed your dog the second is 10 things not to feed your cat.

10 Bad food for your Dog and why

Chocolate: It contains methylxanthine alkaloids,
(Especial Bakers Chocolate) poison to dogs

Raw Onions and Garlic It contains sulfoxides and disulfides,
which affect the red blood cells.
Raw onions can send dogs into
liver failure.

Green Tomatoes potatoes and They contain solanine, which can
Rhubarb. cause gastrointestinal problems
as well as problems with their
central nervous system. As well as
heart failure

Avocado and persimmons These can cause fluid in the lungs
and are very toxic to dogs.

Grapes and Raisins Just a few can cause kidney failure

Nuts Nut’s known to be toxic are walnuts
and macadamia nuts.

Fruit Pits Peach, Nectarine, Apricot and, others
are very toxic to dogs. And can get
lodged in their throats

Bones Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, Fish
All of these can splinter and lodged
In your dogs throat and intestines
Causing bleeding and other damage

Mushrooms Toxic, Toxic, Fatal! Need I say more

Bread made with yeast It can still rise in their stomachs
Baking Soda and Powder because of the yeast and cause
gastrointestinal problems for them
they can all lead to seizures, heart
problems and have symptoms that are
not immediately seen.

10 Bad food for your Cat And why

1. Baby Food Could lead to anemia

2. Chocolate Contains theobromine. Which
is poison to cats and can cause
abnormal heart rate and
seizures.

3. Coffee and teas There's no antidote 8 teaspoons
can be fatal to your cat or dog.

4. Grapes and Raisins These can cause kidney failure
just as they do in dogs

5. Onions and Garlic They can cause damage to the
red blood cell causing anemia.

6. Unripe Tomatoes They have Solanine which can
feline friends from nausea to
hallucinations and, paralysis
even death.

7. Bread with Yeast As with dogs it can rise in their
stomach’s causing gastrointestinal
problems.

8. Spinach Which contains small amounts of
calcium oxalates which can cause
kidney stones to develop

9. Tuna fish Tuna meant for human consumption is
harmful to cats. The feline heart
requires an amino acid called Taurine
which, is added to canned cat food with
tuna but not in the tuna fish we as
humans eat..

10. Nuts Nut’s can cause a chocking hazard
For cat’s and some are toxic.

Here are five ways to make your dog smile

Ear Rubs: With a half fist rubbing your dogs ears at the base near
the top of their head will surely put a smile on their
faces

Inner ear rub: Using the same technique as about repeat the process
Against the cartilage sticking out at the entrance to
their ear. You’ll know their happy as the tilt their head
Into the rub.

Dog scratch At the end of your dogs rib cage, use your finger tips
fever. To scratch their side and watch as they get that happy
leg in motion.

Neck scratch Right under their chin and down below collar line
scratch your dog with your finger tips and watch
as they raise their head up as if to say more please.

Thumb Brow Take your thumbs and placing them at the top of their
Brows drawing your thumbs backwards creating a
gentle massaging motion that may put your furry
friend to sleep or at least make their eyes roll back
in pure pleasure.

Well folks, that’s about all for now. Until next time keep your pets safe happy and healthy.

Surviving Your New Cats Claws

2008-05-01T09:50:00.000-07:00

So you went to the shelter (hopefully) and you found your perfect kitty. She was so sweet at the shelter, and so grateful when you got her home, but now - your wonderful kitty has claws and uses them!

Your skin is badly damaged and your beautiful new couch looks 100 yrs old thanks to that little puff ball you picked up at the shelter. Before you regret adopting your new cat and go to extremes and declaw your cat so you can live peacefully, consider these ideas first:

When you declaw your cat you are preforming an amputation that is not merely a kitty manicure. You are doing what would be compared to removing your finger tips from the first knuckle, and living your life with your hands mutilated as such. A cats declawing experience is no less traumatic.

With that said (you can do a search on declawing and it's effects for more on this subject), this article is about humane solutions so you can avoid declawing your cat.
Cats scratch not to sharpen their claws, they scratch to mark out territory and also because it feels really good to them.

When you are working with your cat, and showing them the boundaries of your house (the couch is not a scratching post), keep this mantra in mind "Direction over discipline; direction over discipline."

Training your cat where to scratch is not rocket science - you just need to buy some things for kitty and provide some time and direction for your cat. Honestly, it's that simple.

When I brought my kitty home from the shelter, I was prepared. I covered my couches with blankets (a temporary fix to shield from kitties claws), had lots of kitty toys, and purchased three scratch boxes (shown in photo).

NOW THIS IS KEY: You can see my kitty enjoying her scratch box; this is the Alpine Scratcher, and my kitty prefers to scratch this over the couch. In this way I have provided her with direction as to where a good place to scratch is.

So, in-a-nut-shell of kitty training; find things that your cat will naturally prefer to scratch over your couch - that is key - and provide these things for her.

Another tool I use is a spay bottle set on mist. This is used as a tool to annoy kitty (not discipline), when she scratches where she is not suppose too. By providing pleasurable (remember scratching feels so good for kitty) places through out my house and using the annoying spray bottle to discourage kitty away from my couch and chairs, I am setting up a natural training environment for kitty to live in harmony.

Make sure you play with your cat as this will help with boredom. Another trick is to hang cool carpets on your wall (seriously), rub catnip on the carpets, and let kitty at them. You can also keep your cats claws trimmed. Any groomer can do it or you can learn to do it yourself.

There are literally hundreds of products and things you can make to distract your cat from your couch - a piece of wood, a carpeted cat jungle (Petco or homemade), even stuffed animals hanging from a doorknob! Use your imagination and see what works for your cat.

In summary, use direction over discipline and your cat will have her favorite places, while you still have yours in one piece!

2007-09-23T12:43:00.001-07:00

This is Ziggy our new Parakeet. Rachel and Ziggy are bonding. It's really cool. :)

It's seems we have also picked up a neighbourhood cat. We are not keeping the cat but we did learn that she used to live in our home and since her owner passed away she just never left the area. I beleive several of the neighbours leave out food for her. She has been around for some time and in our neighbourhood we actually get visits from coyotes. She is quite Intelligent and keeps herself safe it seems. She has been doing it for years.

Her name is "Moochie" at my daughters request. :) Below is a photos of Moochie.

Dog Show.com - The Dog Show Game

2007-09-01T11:08:00.000-07:00

Whether your mildly interested in dogs or a walking dog encyclopedia; you will love this online game! Even if you’re not really into playing games online – you will still love this game!

Dogshow.com is, as much as I hate to admit it, a totally addicting game! No worries though, you can play this game for free.

Joining is easy, and even if you don’t have a clue about the business of showing champion dogs, learning is effortless and part of the natural flow of this game.

Logging in for the first time you will see very easy to read and navigate menu options. The first thing you do is pick your breed and there are 163 to choose from. You raise them from puppy to dog-show-participant, and play through a virtual experience caring for your champion and trying to impress the often fickle judges. Your goal is to raise and breed nothing but champions!

This is definitely quality entertainment that you can be enjoying 30 seconds from now!

Queen Josie

2007-07-05T23:59:00.000-07:00

Josie is a very sweet and shy pup. She is 13 years old and still loves to go for her morning walk. I like to refer to her as Queen Josie - she was very loving but at the same time; somewhat reserved. Never-the-less, very nice to visit and spend time with - her cool personality made when she was warm and playful even more special.

It's Good To Be King

2007-06-16T14:28:00.001-07:00

This is Casey; a very proud and regal kitty. :)

Casey does have a sister, Kinder, but she was very shy this visit so we thought it best not to force the issue of a photo.

Casey, on the other hand, loved the photo shoot!

The Gang Is All Here!

2007-06-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

These guys are so much fun to sit. They all get along great and are quite well behaved. Friendly and fun to hang with - these guys have a great home!
