FOXTAIL SEASON IS HERE!! Make sure you get them out of your yard, kennel areas, or anywhere your pets go on a regular basis as soon as you can. Foxtails grow everywhere in this area and can travel and move around under the skin inside of your pets. If you are walking on the many trails around Folsom, taking them camping, and to the rivers and lakes around you make sure you look you pet over and/or brush them to ensure you find any that are trapped in their fur. As we move into summer they are drying out and becoming a problem for our pets. They especially like the ears, nose, eyes, and between the toes and pads of feet (as you can see from the pics) and your pet usually will need to be sedated to get them out of most places. If your pet can't stop sneezing, shaking their head, squints or refuses to open their eyes, is limping or has a "bubble" between their toes, or an open wound or abcess somewhere call your vet immediately.

Preventing dog bites as a pet owner
Although media reports and rumors often give the impression that certain breeds of dog are more likely to bite, there is little evidence to support those claims. It's more important to address the factors that we know increase the chance of a bite occurring.

Choose wisely. Start off your relationship on the right foot by choosing a dog that will fit well with you, your lifestyle, and your household, including other pets.

Socialize your dog. Take extra care with young children. Always supervise young children when around dogs, no matter how well behaved either are.

Train your dog. The basic commands "sit," "stay," "no," and "come" can be incorporated into fun activities that build a bond of obedience and trust between pets and people.

Keep your dog healthy. Have your dog vaccinated against rabies and other serious or common infectious diseases.

Take precautions. Obey leash laws. If you have a fenced yard, make sure the gates are secure.

Be alert. Know the signs that your dog is stressed, uncomfortable, or showing aggression, and be prepared to take action when needed.
