Pet Dental Health Month: Dr. Sanchez
demonstrates 3 step dog dental routine
Are you getting your dog’s dental health advice by word
of mouth? Dr. Andrea Sanchez, the Medical Director of Hospital Operations at Banfield
Pet Hospital in Portland, OR was willing to fill me in on dental disease in dogs. She promotes good oral hygiene by teaming up with
Greenies dental chews
for National Pet Dental
Health Month.
“All across the country, Banfield Pet Hospital is teaming
up with Greenies dental chews to raise awareness about pet oral health and most
importantly how pet owners can best care for their pet's teeth- both at home and
at the vet clinic,” Dr. Sanchez said in a Feb. 7 video interview.
Announcing The Magic Zoo Halloween photo contest winner!
Paws For Reaction mascot and my baby girl Keira is one
lucky girl- she just won a Halloween Photo Contest held by The Magic Zoo! The
Magic Zoo sells beautiful “handcrafted jewelry for animal lovers.” Miss Keira
was wearing her adorable witch hat to match my witch costume and she got to
visit with every family that came trick-or-treating. She was pretty proud of
her costume and how great she was as at welcoming the kids so when I told her
she won the contest she was pretty excited!

Adoptable of the Week: Viva
Meet Viva! Viva is a beautiful senior Pointer who is in need of a
second chance from a calm and loving family. This gentle, nine year old girl
spent the majority of her life living in a crate. She had little contact with
people and no idea what a structured family life could be like. Fortunately
Viva was given a second chance when she was rescued by New Beginnings Pet Rescue in Ottawa, Ontario. Viva is now discovering the joy that humans can bring
to her life and is enjoying basic obedience training, hikes and this new found
affection. Although she is still timid- a result of her previous upbringing-
Viva wants to be loved and to share her love with people. She needs a pet
parent that is patient and gentle- someone to help her build back her
confidence and allow her to be a dog. Viva is frightened by loud noises but
tolerates the sounds of children playing. Due to her aversion of loud noises
Viva would be happiest away from big, booming cities and noisy traffic. She
needs a calm family who can mirror her energy level. The ideal happy ending for
Viva would be a senior couple who live in the country and would take her on
long hikes until she was tired and ready to go to sleep beside the fireplace.
Viva is fixed and vaccinated and gets along with cats and calmer dogs. If you are interested in learning more about Viva fill
