Help dogs get over a fear of water

July News

Summer is full swing and we are spending lots of time outdoors with our pets. There's plenty of activities to enjoy, from walking and hiking, playing ball or heading off to the beach. Some dogs, especially the "water breeds" such as retrievers, love to swim and play in the water but others are more fearful. Some experts think this is a predisposition for certain breeds, but others feel it is because the dog has had a bad experience or simply doesn't know what water is. For tips on helping your pooch overcome a fear of water, check out the Responsible Pet Owners blog from Canidae pet foods

enjoy summer with your catDogs aren't the only ones who get to have summer fun! Our kitties enjoy summer living too! For a few tips on making your cat's summer both fun and safe, take a look at this article from Hills Science Diet. It has suggestions for both outdoor and indoor cats.

This summer, the Lakeport Rainbow store is hosting once-a-month small livestock swap meets in the parking lot of the store on Argonaut Road south of Lakeport. The next swap meet will take place on July 24. The last swap had turkeys, chickens, rabbits, goats and ducks! It's a great place to trade small livestock and supplies. For more information contact the Lakeport store at 279 0550.

Pet adoption events - the Milo Foundation is now bringing cats and dogs available for adoption to the Ukiah Rainbow store on Thursdays from 3 PM to 5 PM. Come in and check out these wonderful animals who are looking for Forever Homes. The Rainbow staff loves pets - Outdoor Power Equipment specialist Vinny Tinto is fostering a cat from the Milo Foundation - a special guy named Marley. Marley arrived at the Milo Foundation with matted, dreadlocked fur ... hence his name after Bob Marley! But you can bet that Marley is looking much better now that he has a caring foster home with Vinny.

Ask A Vet Pet Health Questions

Frances from Kelseyville asks, What is the best way to stop a dog from jumping on cars? He jumps in the window of my car if it is open.

Hi Frances,
It sounds like your dog likes to ride in the car with you! The simple answer is, of course, to keep your window rolled up (or at least mostly rolled up)! The complicated answer involves a fair amount of time and effort to train your dog NOT to jump in. The first requirement is a Halti or Gentle Leader Collar--which makes training WAY more effective and WAY less time consuming. Take the time to read how to properly adjust and use the collar BEFORE you attempt a training session. The rest is a matter of gentle but firm challenges with the accompanying correction or praise, as indicated. I like to start with a short lead on the Halti, and to gradually increase the length or the distance I am from the dog until the training is complete (you can attach up to a 25 foot cord to the collar to allow a "remote" correction). Generally, most folks in your position need to take a few steps backward and work on some basic obedience before working on more advanced or problematic behaviors. Both collars come with some good guidance in this regard. Also, consider obedience classes or hiring a trainer to come help you if you become frustrated. Good Luck!
Dr. Smith

Dr. Joanna HoltzFrom the Vets at Middletown Animal Hospital

Middletown Animal Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of a new veterinarian to serve small & large animals in Lake County. We are proud to have Dr. Holtz join our team.

Welcome Dr. Joanna Holtz, an Equine/Small Animal veterinarian, serving Lake County with devotion and skill. If you are looking for a doctor that is a pleasure to work with, as well as take care of you with competence and compassion, consider Dr. Holtz. A recent transplant from Oregon, she loves the drier climate here, and is looking forward to living and working in beautiful Lake County.

Call 987-2000 to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Joanna Holtz was born and raised in a large and supportive family in Southern California. From the time she was a young girl she had aspirations to become of veterinarian. Her first love was horses and she acquired her horse, Splinter, when she was 16 years old. After graduating from UC Davis in 2003 with a degree in Animal Science and Management, she entered veterinary school at Oregon State University. Initially, she had her sites set on large animal only medicine. However, after various experiences with multiple species in veterinary school, she elected to pursue mixed animal practice. After obtaining her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, she moved to the small town of Brookings, Oregon to practice in a large private mixed animal practice. Over the past three years there she has solidified her love of practicing medicine on a variety of species. Dr. Holtz is excited about joining the team at Middletown Animal Hospital and returning to her home state of California. She also looks forward to spending more time with friends and family in her free time.
