Healthy Pets Education for the Pet OwnerHallett Veterinary Hospital, S.C. • 5744 Brown Street, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin 53066 • 262.569.0801

Hallett Veterinary Hospitalannounces the addition ofultrasound, video otoscopeand endoscope systems.This advanced equipmentgreatly expands servicesavailable for small animals.

Ultrasound enhancesthe ability to evaluateinternal organs,diagnose a variety ofmedical conditions,and conrm andmonitor pregnancies.We can now obtainbiopsy samples from internalorgans without invasivesurgery. Heart ultrasound,or echocardiography,gives us very importantinformation about heartfunction in animals withevidence of heart disease.

The video otoscope makes itpossible to more eectivelyevaluate and treat chronicear infections. The systemcan be used to removeimpacted wax from deep inthe ear canal, collect biopsiesand ush ear canals.

The video endoscope enablesus to view the inside of thestomach, part of the smallintestine, colon or upperrespiratory tract withoutsurgery. Foreign objects canbe removed from the stomachand biopsies can be collected

if necessary, using theendoscope. Biopsiescan be extremelyhelpful in diagnosinginammatory boweldisease and othercauses of chronic

vomiting or diarrhea.Both the video otoscope andendoscope systems projectthe magnied image on a 20”monitor and have the abilityto store still images as well asvideo clips of the procedures. Dr. Mike has several yearsof ultrasound experienceand all three doctors havecompleted extensive training.Procedures performed thusfar have successfully proventhe value of this equipment.

Should you giveHeartgard®year ’round?

New equipment increasesdiagnostic and treatment capabilities

Great news for Pet Owners!

The answer is yes, if youdon’t want your humanfamily members exposed toroundworms or hookworms(intestinal parasites).Families with young childrenshould especially considerusing Heartgard® all year.Heartgard Plus® not onlyprevents heart worm diseasebut also prevents severalintestinal parasites includingroundworms. Roundwormsinfect approximately10,000 people each yearin the U.S. and can causeblindness in some cases.Heartworm disease is onlytransmitted during mosquitomonths, but intestinalparasites can be transmittedduring any season.

Puppy ClassesSocializing your puppy is veryimportant. Puppy classes areexcellent opportunities to letyour pup meet other puppiesand other people. The classeswill also give you a goodstart with many training tips.Evening puppy classes areheld in our reception area.

Kennel Cough Optional

• DHLPP (Distemper)Puppies receive a series of Canine Distempervaccinations,usually at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age,then yearly. This vaccine protects against several verycontagious dog diseases, including Canine Distemper,Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainuenza, and Parvovirus.

• RabiesRabies is the only virus that dogs can transmit to people.Rabies is transmitted through bite wounds and is fatal inpeople and dogs. Rabies vaccine is required by law for alldogs. The initial vaccine is given at 12 to 16 weeks of age,boosted in one year and then is given every three years.

• Lyme DiseaseLyme disease is transmitted to dogs and people by ticks.We recommend the Lyme disease vaccine for huntingdogs or dogs that are frequently in wooded areas or areaswith tall grass where they may be exposed to ticks. Wealso recommend using a tick preventative, like Frontline,to further reduce the risk of getting Lyme disease andto reduce the risk of exposing people to ticks. Theinitial vaccine may be given at 9 weeks of age or olderand is boosted in two to three weeks, then yearly.

• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)Kennel cough is a highly contagious disease thatcauses a severe cough, fever, loss of appetite andoften a nasal discharge in dogs. Most boardingkennels require the Bordetella vaccine. Kennel coughis transmitted through the air from one dog toanother when they are housed in close quarters.

FeedingPuppies should be fed puppyfood until 1 year of age. Putthe food down for 15 to 30minutes each morning andevening. Feeding two mealsa day will help with housetraining since most puppieswill defecate within 20minutes of eating a meal.

We recommend feedingEukanuba® dry puppy food(made by the Iams com-pany).We believe the Iams com-panyhas recently taken the leadin nutritional research forcats and dogs. When feedinga premium food (like Iams®,Eukanuba® , Science Diet® orPurina Pro Plan®) there is noneed for vitamin supple-ments.

We recommend feedingonly dry food to your puppy.Canned foods tend to causeearlier tarter formation andgingivitis (gum inammation).Do not mix water into thefood. Never feed your puppymilk or table food, since thiscan cause diarrhea. Dogsdo not have the enzymesneeded to digest milk.Keep your puppy trim.Overfeeding can lead tohip problems later in life,especially for large breeddogs. Always provide a bowlof fresh water for your pet.

Crate TrainingCrate training works on the principle that the crate becomes the puppy’s “den,” and dogs don’t like to soil their sleeping area. The crate should never be used for punishment. When you are home, the crate door should be left open, so the puppy can go in when tired. Make sure the crate is big enough for the puppy to turn around in but not so big that they can use one corner for a bathroom and another corner to sleep in.At rst, your puppy may cry or whine at night when left alone in the crate. Positioning the crate so your puppy can see you may help. It is important not to give your puppy any attention (not even a reprimand) when he or she whines or barks in the crate. Try not to leave your puppy for more than six to eight hours at a time in the crate.

We highly

recommend

crate training

your puppy.

–Dr. Heidi Hallett

We prefer crate training instead of papertraining. Paper training teaches the puppy toeliminate in the house, and it can be difficultto retrain the puppy to eliminate outside.

– Dr. Michael Fagan

Alexandra Lucero 08B get your puppy

House TrainingRepetition is the key toteaching your puppy whereto go to the bathroom. It isimportant to go out throughthe same door each time andgo to the same place in theyard each time. This is notplaytime. If the puppy doesn’turinate or defecate within2 or 3 minutes, bring themback inside and watch closely.When they start acting likethey need to go, take themoutside immediately. The onlytime you should reprimandyour puppy for having anaccident is when you catchthem in the act of going to thebathroom inside the house.

Choosing the right time totake your puppy outside isvery important. Praise forgoing outside works muchbetter than reprimanding yourpuppy for making a mistake.Crate training will help withhouse training, since thepuppy will hold urine andstool while in the crate. Takethe puppy out immediately inthe morning. Puppies usuallyhave a bowel movementwithin 20 minutes of eating.Use this to your advantageand take them out after everymeal. They usually will urinateafter naps or after playing.

We prefer crate traininginstead of paper training.Paper training teachesthe puppy to eliminate inthe house, and it can bedicult to retrain the puppyto eliminate outside.

Dogs can become infectedwith a number of intestinalparasites (worms). Dogs getintestinal parasites directlyfrom their mother’s milk,or from eating rodents,eating eas, or coming incontact with infected stool.

To reduce human exposure tointestinal parasites, we followthe Centers for Disease Control(CDC) recommendations fordeworming. Puppies shouldbe dewormed every twoweeks until they are threemonths old, then every monthuntil six months of age.

We also recommend yearlyfecal exams to check forintestinal parasites. Each year10,000 children in the U.S.are infected with intestinalparasites, and 600 of thosechildren become blind inone eye from parasites.

Spay orNeuter Your PetWe recommend spaying orneutering your pet at sixmonths of age. The surgerywill not change your pet’sbasic personality; they arestill playful and aectionate.

However, aggression towardother animals and people canbe decreased. Statistics showthat spayed and neutereddogs live considerably longerthan intact dogs. Spaying afemale dog before their rstheat almost eliminates thechance of developing breastcancer later in life. The surgeryalso prevents life threateninguterine infections, ovariancancer, and uterine cancer.

Neutering a male dog willprevent testicular cancer.

Dental CareMost people laugh when we suggest brushing their dog’s teeth, but keeping the teeth and gums healthy helps keepthe rest of the dog healthy. It also keeps “dog breath” away.Not only are infected gums and teeth uncomfortable forthe dog, they allow bacteria into the bloodstream. Thisbacteria is ltered out by the kidneys and can deposit onthe heart valves, leading to kidney and heart failure.Since dogs are living longer today, it is very important to keeptheir mouths healthy. Brushing their teeth three times a week willhelp keep their gums healthy by stimulating circulation in thegums and by reducing the bacteria that lays down tartar. Use adog toothpaste that is made to be swallowed and tastes good.Start with some paste on your nger and massage the gums.Use lots of positive reinforcement. Eventually, you can work upto using a very soft brush. Hold the puppy’s mouth shut andwork on the outside surfaces of the teeth. This is where mostof the tartar builds up. You will not remove tartar by brushing.Eventually, some tartar will build up, and we will need toscale and polish the teeth, just like our dentist does for us.

Intestinal Parasites

off to a good start!

Infected gums…allow bacteria into thebloodstream. is bacteria is filtered out bythe kidneys and can deposit on the heart valves, leading to kidney and heart failure.

HeartwormHeartworm disease istransmitted to dogs bymosquitoes. When an infectedmosquito bites a dog, theheart worm larva is injectedinto the dog’s skin. The adultheartworm eventually endsup in the heart and cancause heart failure. Early inthe disease, the dog mayact normally. As the heartis damaged, the dog willbecome lethargic, coughwith exercise, and may showother signs of heart failure.

Heartworm disease is mucheasier to prevent thanit is to treat. HeartgardPlus® preventive is giveneach month from April toDecember. Heartgard Plus alsocontains an intestinal parasitetreatment, dewormingyour dog each month forintestinal parasites in additionto preventing heart worminfection. Many dogs are givenHeartgard Plus all year toprevent intestinal parasites. Dogs should also be testedfor heart worm disease oncea year by drawing a bloodsample. If we diagnose heartworm disease early enough,it is much safer to treat.

GroomingWe’re happy to teach you howto trim your puppy’s nails. Startnow while the pup is young sohe gets used to having his feethandled and nails trimmed.Combing or brushing shouldalso be started when he isyoung. For longer haireddogs, use a steel comb tokeep mats from forming.

Pet IDHome Again® microchipcan be inserted under thedog’s skin for permanentidentication. Shelters andmost veterinarians havescanners that can identifyyour dog if necessary. ID Tags are an inexpensiveway of identifying yourdog. These are availableat the reception desk.

A dog wags its tailwith its heart.

– Martin Buxbaum

OUCH! When your dog bitesa person let them know ithurts by saying “ouch” in ahigh pitched yelping tone.When you say “ouch” youare telling your dog that ithurt. This is the same waylitter mates communicate totell each other to back off.Substitute. If your pupstarts to chew on somethinginappropriate, startle yourpup by clapping and saying“hey!” and then redirect hisbehavior to a toy or a boneof his or her own. As soon asyour pup starts to chew onhis or her own toy, praise yourdog by saying “good dog”.

Lip pinch. As your dog turnsto bite you, say “no bite” asyou curl his or her upper lipunder his canine tooth soyour dog is biting his or herown lip. Your dog may yelpafter this quick correction. Be sure that after using any ofthe above corrections that youpraise your dog for any goodbehavior of discontinuing any mouthing action.

Corrections tokeep your puppyfrom biting

Your puppy should have oneor two toys to chew on. Makesure the toy is not made ofwood, leather, rawhide, orcloth since you don’t wantto teach the puppy to chewon furniture or clothing.Nylabones (hard plastic bones)and rope toys work well, andthey can’t be swallowed. Reprimand your puppyif he picks up somethingother than his toy then givehim a toy and praise himwhen he chews on it.
