February is National Pet Dental Health Care Month

February is National Pet Dental Health Month!!  Main question is - are we really taking care of your pet's teeth and their mouth?

I know that we all kid around about our dog's breath but did you know that there could be a potentially serious problem causing your dog's bad breath?

Signs of potential dental problems with your dog are:

• bad breath
• loose teeth
• teeth covered in tartar or discolored
• LOTS of drooling
• bleeding mouth

Many veterinarian's suggest annual dental scaling and polishing and a detailed cleaning of your pets teeth. Also brushing your dog's teeth is super important. Never use human toothpaste on your dog as it can upset your dog's stomach and could make your little patient sick. You can use dental dog chews,  and healthy choices for your dog. Cabo Dog Boutique has wonderful healthy dog products such as the Breath Refreshers for Dogs. These dog cookies have
fresh Italian parsley and mint. These dog cookies help reduce stinky “dog” breath. 

Another wonderful solution for dog breath is the dog oral hygiene spray at Cabo Dog. This wonderful probiotic dog oral hygiene spray keeps your dog's mouth balanced and healthy by reducing plaque-causing bacteria, which can cause bad breath, gum disease, multiple infections
and heart disease. 

Last but not least the good old dog toothpaste. This dog toothbrush makes it easy to clean all three sides of the tooth with one stroke. The soft bristles massage the gums while the firmer
bristles clean teeth. The vanilla flavored dog toothpaste is All Natural and is great for dogs and their people!

So, while you celebrate National Pet Dental Health Month - shop at Cabo Dog Boutique to make those pearly whites healthy as they can be! 

Your furry friend can have allergies too

It seems like common sense but you’d be surprised – most people food is not good for dogs.

This is a scene we’ve seen all too often: a cute pup sits below the dining room table in hopes for a scrap of the lasagna to fall within his reach. After a while of waiting, he begins to sit in front of his owners and pout up until the point where they toss him a piece of garlic bread to make him happy.

Cabo Dog Boutique is guilty of it too. But here are some things not always known about the implications of giving our furry friends human food.

Diabetes. Veterinarians who have been in practice for many years report a sudden increase in diabetes in dogs. It begins with cheaper alternatives to dog food that use white rice and corn as a filer. Neither are natural food options for dogs and can directly affect the blood sugar of our furry friends.

Allergies. You got it, dogs have allergies too. Do you have friends that are allergic to peanuts or almonds? Some dogs can be too. Dogs can experience internal swelling and inflammation, or severe skin irritations, if given something that they are allergic to.

If you must treat your pet to a piece of cheese or other human food every now and then, stick to these natural and healthy options (for people too!) per Nicole Pajer at Cesar’sWay.com and read more of her healthy food options for pets - Here is a few healthy dog options:

• Peanut Butter
• Cooked chicken
• Cheese
• Baby carrots
• Yogurt
• Pumpkin
• Apple slices
• Oatmeal (without artificial sweetner)

Try to resist that precious puppy face when eating. At Cabo Dog Boutique we have some great organic dog treats that will make your dog beg for more of these yummy organic dog treats and not that chicken finger. Try some Apple Crisp Dog Treats - Apple crisps are an all-natural crunchy dog treat! These are great as a dog training treat, and can easily be broken into smaller pieces. Apple crisps are naturally dehydrated and a sugar-free dog treat. Apples help maintain a healthy heart as well as being low in calories.

How Peanut Banana Bread? YUM! Cabo Dog Boutique just cannot keep this delicious dog bread in stock!  Everyone knows that dogs love peanuts, bananas and coconut. This tasty combination creates a dog treat high in protein and rich in nutrients. They contain no gluten, wheat, corn soy or artificial ingredients. Peanut Banana Bread dog treats contain all natural peanut butter, banana chunks and a touch of vanilla you’ll probably want to try yourself. Just save some for the dog. 

Peanut Banana Dog Bread Ingredients:Brown rice flour, natural peanut butter, ground oats, coconut flour, banana, egg white, molasses, flax seed, canola oil, coconut oil, vanilla, natural flavor.

So, careful when you are eating your steak dinner - don't be tempted to give to your little one - have some dog treats ready so they can enjoy yummyness too.

Sunny's New Years Resolution - an inspiration to all!

Can our dog's really make New Year's Resolutions? According to Mr. Sunny ~ ABSOLUTELY!

This precious toy poodle in Park City has Cushing's Syndrome. Yes, dogs can get Cushing's Syndrome too. Sunny began his new journey weighing 22.5 pounds and now is down to a healthy weight of 17 pounds. Julie (his Mom) makes exercise a priority by taking him on walks with his neighborhood gang and feeding him healthy foods such as green beans and sweet potatoes. Sounds like something all humans should be doing as well. No canned green beans for this boy - too much sodium which makes you gain weight - and that is bad!

In August of last year Sunny was able to begin going up and down some steps and now is able to go on three block walks twice a day. No time to lay around like the other dogs - gotta keep going! It has been a long journey but making progress everyday! Spring and Summer are better months for this little one as exercising in the elements of winter are a bit harder for him.

So - yes dogs can have New Years Resolution's - and this precious boy should be an inspiration to all - even humans! Sunny has overcame major issues and continues to be an encourager to all. Sunny has a long way to go and every day is a new challenge. In 2013, Sunny and his Momma resolve to play with their fabulous dog toys from Cabo Dog and keep exercising and encourage our friends to adopt older dogs - and help them become strong too!
