A tool for your dog's comfort and wellbeing

If you have a dog with a LONG torso and struggle to get a ergonomic harness with enough body length , then check out

ANNY -X harness

1. Broad pads

2. Long torso strap which allows the girth to be positioned well away from the arm pit area, so no more chaffy elbows.

3. V neck so it doesn’t cut into the trachea

I am impressed.

Great for greyhounds.

It is said that the risk of puppy catching parvovirus, especially if you take the right precautions, are much less than the harm poor to no socialisation (which is about the dog developing coping skills and resilience in face of novelty, building their confidence in a structured manner) can do to a dog's wellbeing, emotional wellness and mental resilience.

What are your thoughts ?

HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD YOUNG PUPPIES MEET? When I first mentioned (28th May) the Open Paw 'MINIMAL Mental Health Requirements for Puppies'* a surprising number of people commented that it was 'insane', 'unnecessary' and 'unhealthy'. So, let's go about it another way — Why don't you all decide for yourselves? Let's have a survey...
1. HOW MANY PEOPLE do YOU think a puppy should meet and be handled by in the kennel prior to 8-weeks of age, and
2. HOW MANY PEOPLE do YOU think a puppy should meet and be handled by Parvo-SAFELY at home between 8–12-weeks.
PLEASE REPLY TO EACH QUESTION WITH A NUMBER and then make any comments you feel necessary. But, please consider What ages of people? Babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged, elderly? What s*x? Boys/men, girls/women? What ethnicity? What body-type? Short, tall, underweight, overweight, short hair, long hair, beards? What accoutrements? Umbrellas, walking sticks, skateboards, sunglasses, masks, hoodies, perfumes, floppy hats, baseball hats, baseball hats on backwards? What personalities? Extroverted, introverted, quiet, noisy, active, passive? And what about body position and movement? Standing still, walking, jogging, skipping, bending over, looming, lying down, falling down, acting weird, silly walks, and extreme gaits. I could easily add another 10,000 words.
*OP MMHR: Puppies should meet and be handled by 100 unfamiliar people prior to 8-weeks of age in the kennel and another 100 unfamiliar people between 8 and 12 weeks.

"Impossible" Enrichment anyone ? ! 😄😎

Quite ingenious and if you have the time and the skills great to make.

For dogs, to know what your dog likes to do, is good at and their natural instincts could guide you to do more than a sniffing walk.

You can create something simple with what you already have to give them mental stimulation and even better, enrichment that fulfills their instinctive needs.

This is just fun to watch and I believe could be inspirational. :-)

Like how it is a short movie in itself.

Celebrating all the women who are dog mums !

I have had the privilege to meet quite a number of them through the years who were dedicated to their dog's wellbeing and quality of life.

More often than not, I met them at a time of struggle with time, skills as a dog parent, resilience or/and confidence.

All showed love, fortitude, patience and perseverance for their dog's challenges

even if it could bring frustration, stress,

overwhelm, anxieties, constant worry,

embarrassment and guilt or resentment at times

Their inner strength got them to continue

and their dedication to their dog's comfort and health for an optimal quality of life in their condition,
whether physical or emotional is remarkably laudable.

So kudos to you, dedicated dog mums of the world !

Here are some of my Superstars furkid mums' words

Do you have an integrative or holistic vet who recommended some natural remedies ?

You can join Dr Karen Becker's show to know more.

In the meantime, share the ones you have been using successfully for what condition in the comments.

🚨Dr. Becker’s Essential Home Remedies⛑️

If you’ve been a pet parent long enough, you’ve faced unexpected problems with your fur-baby such as morning “hunger” pukes, loose stools or minor scrapes.

Unfortunately, many pet parents reach for over-the-counter (OTC) human medications to try and help their pets find relief.

And though prescription and OTC meds have their place when used under the direction of a veterinarian, there are effective, science-based alternatives to help your pet feel better!

Tune in this Sunday on the Inside Scoop live episode at 12pm ET, where we’re sharing our favorite at-home remedies you should have in your pantry for these unexpected everyday illnesses.

We’ll be covering common ailments, including:

😿 Upset stomach and “bile pukes🤮”
💩 Loose stool and diarrhea
👂🏼 Ye**ty, itchy ears
🩹Wounds, hot spots, eye infections👁️…and more!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Comment SCOOPERS and we’ll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. Watch our weekly Live podcast post get access to over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and ask your questions in our members-only Q&As!

Just yesterday I saw a notice on a board for dog walking at $5 and petsitting at $20 ?

What that tells me it may be a youngster or someone who isn't a professional, because just for insurance and admin work, this definitely, wouldn't cover it.

To add to the post from the Pet sitter Confessional below, I would ask too : what value do you put on the care of your dog, their wellbeing while you are away ?

You have a wide range of prices but lower prices, in my opinion is understandable for boarding kennels because they have several boarders at a time.
Or for youngsters who want to start earning some money.

Higher prices go for the 1 to 1 services (1 family dogs/pets and 1 petsitter) or boarding homes where there are only a couple of families dogs at a time

And top range, are for the professionals who do more than petsitting, they engage with the dog, bring them enrichment, training, wellness care, are dedicated to the wellbeing of your dog while you are away at a level of a true holiday for your dog too, when they have the potential to feel even better and be better than when you left.

That's why my Premium Petminding services are for those who really care, organise their dog's time without them, in a way they know their dog will be especially cared for with more consideration to optimize their wellbeing.

And yes payment plans arrangements are available to make it more accessible when planned well ahead in advance.

For those who can't afford higher prices, I would suggest to aim for middle range prices and ask for payment arrangements and more importantly to do your research :

What experience do they have, what knowledge about dogs, their psychology and way of communication ?

Referrals and previous clients.

And it also goes for the dog parents to be honest about their dog's personality and challenges so that the carer knows what to expect and if they are up to the task.

In my first years, especially, I had some surprises.

For the next time somebody says your prices are too high, remember all of the work you have put in and all of the dedication you bring. 💪

We all know it’s not all puppy cuddles and kitty kisses! Pricing is difficult, not exactly a linear process, and is something we have to approach from our own viewpoint and background.

You are worth it! ✨

Another way to help reduce the number of healthy dogs surrender, abandoned or worse euthanised.

I help with the wellbeing of dogs and their humans so they are at their best to thrive together.

This is more about economics and politics reasons.

If we address all causes from all directions, surely we will see a decline in the numbers.

So check this organisation out and if you can, help.

With 69% of Australians owning a pet, it's likely that many people will, at some point in their life, have to face the difficult decision of surrendering their animals due to factors beyond their control. These situations are tragic and often times unnecessary.

Help us make a change. CANA’s advocacy efforts have driven meaningful conversations and achieved legislative progress, from greater acceptance of pets in workplaces to the inclusion of pet support in federal home care packages and bridging the gap between landlords and tenants on pet-friendly rentals.

Your support through donations, Workplace Giving, and Corporate Sponsorships helps us keep people and their pets together.
