Bogart's Investigation On
Dog Parks

  The difference between dog parks and parks that permit dogs is the former allows canines to run around off their leashes.
  And that is essential for a dog's behavior, according to Doctor Valerie Vogel with the St. Charles Veterinary Clinic in St. Charles Illinois.
  "A lot of behaviors we see, dogs learn from other dogs," she said. "Bad behavior is corrected by other dogs so much better than we can do."
  When dogs play too hard, Vogel said another dog can tell them to "knock it off" with body language and with a certain type of bark.
  She suggested introducing canines to dog parks when they are puppies, at 4 to 6 months, to prevent the development of common fears, which often include strange noises and people.
  "Dog parks actually give dogs confidence. They're used to so many things they don't become afraid of many things later in life," Vogel said.
  With the good comes the bad, and Vogel said there are greater opportunities for dogs to contract intestinal parasites or to get in fights if they play at dog parks.
  However, she said those are not reasons to keep canines away from the parks.

The above is from an article written by Christine S. Moyer (Staff Writer) for The Beacon News newspaper of Aurora, Illinois. Monday, July 11, 2005 issue.

Here Are Some Tips On How To Protect Your Pet From That Intense Summer Heat

Dogs & Cats

 • If you have outdoor pets, keep them inside during the hottest part of the day, 11a.m.–3p.m. Outdoor pets need shade and lots of fresh water.
 • Limit exercise to early morning before it gets hot.
 • Don't leave a pet in a car.
 • Make sure your dog can get in and out of the water. Many dogs drown trying to drink from a pool.
 • Watch for hyperthermia. Symptoms include heavy panting and bright red mucous membranes. Bring pets indoors and gradually cool them. Put water or alcohol on paw pads.
 • If it's too hot for you to walk barefoot, it's too hot for your pet.

For Birds

 • Use mister to cool outdoor birds, but don't leave them outside for too long in the heat.
 • Put ice cubes in their water. Birds cool off by dipping into it.
