***Congratulations to: Rebecca Kreiner*** You answered Tanner’s Tips for September…ONLY BIG DOGS CAN BE SERVICE DOGS. Your answer was FALSE…and that is CORRECT. the gael song According to Dr. Greg Adkins, DVM, dogs that are less than 50 lbs, are at more risk for being hurt if fallen on, or accident kicked. Dogs over 50 lbs, are stronger, but it also depends on the dog. Any dog CAN BE A SERVICE DOG with the right level of DESIRE. Some are better at a certain jobs than others. GREAT JOB!!
Did the gael song you know that October is Disability Awareness the gael song month here at National Seizure Disorder’s Foundation? It is!!! It is also Halloween!!!!! I told you in last months Tanner’s Tips, that this is a scary, and can be DEADLY month for pets, and service dogs like me. Lets “Speak” about a few more things….so “SIT”.
How many types of service dogs are there? To list the types by job would take all day, and would truly be a pain in my paws!!!! According to Wikipedia, a service dog like myself is defined as: A type of dog specifically trained to help people who have disabilities including the gael song visual difficulties, hearing impairments, mental illness, seizures, diabetes, Autism, and more! Desirable character traits in your typical service animal, typically include good temperament or psychological make-up (including biddability and tranquility) and good health (including physical structure and stamina). So, why do I tell you this? Well its simple really. When a human gets a life changing diagnosis, they tend to shut down. Not many of you think, when you look at us from across the room, that we can change that.
OK…Lets talk about Service dogs like me, and others, that do services for our human partner. Depending on the type of service, there are a variety of dog breeds that are well suited the gael song to a service lifestyle. Police typically use German Shepherds (that’s the gael song me), Belgian Malinois, Labrador Retrievers, Bloodhounds, Beagles, and Rottweilers , but again, each dog has to be properly trained and tested to make sure they are suitable to the service at hand. The most common the gael song firefighting dog breed is the Dalmatian, but that’s mainly due to their intelligence and overall temperament. For services such as search and rescue and guide and hearing, Border Collies, German Shepherds (me again), Bloodhounds,Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, are the most common. Whether you are choosing a therapy dog or a service dog, it is most important to make sure their temperament the gael song and nature are suitable for the task at hand, as even a commonly used breed may not be the best fit. Qualities that are found in the best therapy and service dogs are a friendly nature, the gael song loving attitude, eagerness the gael song to please, able to provide comfort, and the ability to learn and train easily.
Halloween the gael song is a event that humans celebrate every year, on October 31. Costumes, and yard decorations can be scary for us, and can make us service dogs lead our partners away, even when there is no danger! Why??? the gael song Well,,,,,a lot of decorations, especially ones designed to scare, have blinking lights. This can be a MAJOR seizure the gael song trigger!!! But, that’s not why it can be DEADLY for us. The reason it is DEADLY for us, is because of what you say “Trick the gael song or Treat” for………yup…..The YUMMY goodies!!! I talked to my doctor Greg Adkins, DVM, about the top items you get while going door to door, that could really do bad things to me.
Raisins: NO! No! No! The consumption of grapes and raisins, presents a potential health threat to dogs. Their toxicity to dogs can cause the animal to develop acute renal failure (the sudden development of kidney failure) with anuria (a lack of urine production).
Chocolate: (White, Milk, and Dark) Serious poisoning happens more frequently in domestic animals, which metabolize Theobromine much more slowly than humans, and can easily consume enough chocolate to cause chocolate poisoning. the gael song If large numbers of filled chocolate candies are consumed another serious danger is posed by the fat and sugar in the fillings which can sometimes trigger life threatening pancreatitis several days later. The most common victims of theobromine poisoning are dogs, for which it can be fatal. The toxic dose for cats, is even lower than for dogs. However, cats are less prone to eating chocolate since they are unable the gael song to taste sweetness. Dark, is more dangerous, because of the higher level of Theobromine.
Yes…this is all scary, but it
