Treating heartworm naturally
Ivermectin is a common medication know to be used to kill many different types of parasites. It’s most currently used in monthly heartworm prevention.

“POOP WATCHERS”
If you are a “true” dog person you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. All those trips out into the yard in the rain or snow to check “the poop.” Many times it gives us an idea if our dogs are getting the nutrients they need, or if they are stressed, and that its not watery or runny.
Has he pooped? When? What texture? I mean, its like we are examining baby diapers all the time like a good mother. Right? Or

ROAD TRIP (with your pet)!! : Never leave home without these tips
This is our first guest blog by our daughter, Olivia Stanley, who we are passing the torch to someday, and boy is she an adventurer at heart! So her tips here are valuable. No one I know has done more traveling with their dog (for fun) that I know. Are you embarking on a vacation with your furry friend and feeling a bit concerned about how to navigate this adventure? How about the things that can “make or break” the
Baby, it’s cold outside: Dog Sweaters and Coats –a ‘no’ or a ‘go?’
I would not be writing this blog if we didn’t have LABRADORS! Coats and sweaters are GREAT if you have a short-haired or toy breed of dog. But Labs have the thickest coat there is—we call it a “double” coat amongst breeders, and you can find it described in the AKC Breed Standard. If you are curious about it, you can view the standard here:

Bloat in Dogs. Causes, Symptoms and Prevention

Unfortunately, if you are away from home and your dog breaks into the dog food cabinet, death could occur if you are not there and help is not given, so its important to be sure dog food is absolutely out of reach and locked
Swimming season is here! Here’s some cautions, helpful safety hints, and tips!!!
Although Labradors are natural swimmers (and the breed I have shown for 20 years)--and I know many of you have many kinds of water dogs--BUT..there are still logical, common sense rules that some people don't think of when swimming season begins.
First of all, if you are in "big water" it is advisable to use a floaty--that way if your dog gregariously begins swimming towards the other shore (a mile away?--yes, it happened to us once), you don't have to worry
Using Essential Oils with Felines
Many people ask us if it is safe to use EO's on cats. Even though some aromatherapists and veterinarians say its fine, I choose to err on the side of safety. Cats don't have the same enzymes in their bodies like horses, dogs, or humans, so some EO's can be very toxic to them.
I recommend diffusion, only, for cats. We sell a cold water diffuser on this site. I recommend you take the original blend we send (8 oz bottle, such
