Hidden Gems inWisconsin

A Look at Wisconsin’sCommunity Zoo’s

Part 2 of 5Chippewa Fall’s Irving

Park Zoo

By Richard Barton Pet Journal Staff Writer

In This Issue

As part of our ongoing series of articles on com-munity zoos in Wisconsin, this month we visited the Irvine Park Zoo in Chip-pewa Falls. Irvine Park was founded in 1906 by William Irvine who had his company, Chippewa Lum-ber and Boom, donate 165 acres of land to establish a reserve to protect the en-vironment of the beauti-ful Chippewa Valley. In 1909, a bear pen was constructed and thus be-gan the Irvine Park Zoo. With continued donations from Mr. Irvine and other local business people, the park grew to its present day size of 318 acres. The zoo, which covers a large portion of this land, con-sists of the main buildings, display enclosures, a red barn petting zoo (summer months), a beautiful pond which is home to many varieties of water fowl and a vast area for large hoofed animals such as buffalo, elk, whitetail and fallow deer. As mentioned in the article regarding the Manitowoc Zoo, the Irvine

Hello readers this is our third is-sue of Pet Journal, and we have been working on some major changes both in the printed paper and on-line. The first thing you probably have no-ticed is a that the paper looks clean-er and brighter. This issue marks a change in where we are having the paper printed, as we are now going through Port Printing in Port Wash-ington, WI. This change also means we opted to give the paper a little more vertical spacing.

Online we have for the most part completed a revamp of the web site, which includes the renaming of our Regions, cleaning up of some of the graphics, and generally trying to speed up when and where items get listed onto the website.

This month I want to remind readers to send us pictures of your pets, they will printed in the pet photos section as well as being

posted to the pet galleries on the Pet Journal Website. As you may have noticed we have a Classified Section on pages 16 and 17, which we would like to fill with information from readers such as: if your loved ones have a litter of puppies or kit-tens and would like to find homes for them, a teenager looking for a job as a dog walker, or you’re a non-profit and have a fundraiser we would love to post information on your event as well as listing it on the calendar.

We are still looking for some help in regards to Advertising Sales and Distrbution for this Region, please email us at [email protected] for more informa-tion.

Thank you for reading, Pet Jour-nal.

Publishers NotesAbout our Cover Model


What does Holistic mean? Simply put, it’s treating the body and mind. You could also use the word Natural. As with people, good health begins with proper diet and nutrition.

Making a few changes could add years and youthfulness to your pet. I like to think of Holis-tic, first and foremost, as preven-tative care. There is a time and need for veterinarian care but it doesn’t necessarily have to be your first step.

There are many alternatives to treat and prevent everything from ear infections, arthritis, emotional issues, fleas, ticks, and allergies. As an example, a few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil added to your pet’s food can help reduce dry skin. It really can be that simple.

Far and away the most fre-quently asked question I receive is “how do I get rid of fleas and ticks?” The better question would be “how do I prevent my pet from getting fleas and ticks?” With healthy changes to your pet’s diet they stand a much greater chance of preventing the seem-ingly endless fight against fleas and ticks. When you fight them off with topical products and col-lars, you are just putting pesti-cides on your pet.

Food choice is another topic that comes up a lot. The large commercial pet food companies really do a fine job of complicating things. I like to keep it simple for people. The first consideration in your choice should be, make sure you do not have colored food. There is no need to add artificial color to your pet’s food. They add color to make it look more appealing to us humans; the pet that is consuming it has no need for the food to look appealing. Foods are broken down into cat-egories of raw, freeze dried, wet, dry and grain free. The choices are endless. Knowing your in-gredients list, even if it is just

the first four listed, can make a difference. I know, I know, your thinking going natural is expen-sive, but it isn’t. The money you could potentially save in vet bills plus the ability to cut down the amount of food your pet eats daily by feeding them food that is fully absorbed and not left in your yard is worth it.

Now that I have touched on the basics of diet and holistic treatment, let’s get into the ben-efits of Body Healing, which also plays a huge part in your pet’s life. Pets that receive massage for arthritis, slipped discs, and emotional problems and/or after surgery therapy heal faster and have a more active lifestyle. Let’s face it; have you ever had a mas-sage you didn’t like? Do you not feel relaxed yet rejuvenated after a nice massage?

Taking the time to pet your animals and brush them is a great opportunity for bonding and al-lows you to check for lumps, bites, or anything else that may seem unusual on your pet. Sometimes it can just be a reflex. You know when you hit that favorite spot on your pet and the leg starts kick-ing? If you notice your pet seize up or move quickly then it isn’t a favorite spot and may be telling you something is wrong in that area.

Please feel free to send any questions you have on the top-ics above or if you have a topic you would like me to cover. If you have a story you would like to share on how changes you’ve made has improved your pet’s health, I would love to hear from you.

PJWarm holiday greetings to all

my readers! I love the holidays, especially Christmas because it means presents, presents, and more presents for me and my two kitty buddies. I don’t know about them but I’m kinda hoping for a new bed this year. The old one is nice, but just doesn’t have the bouncy, soft, fullness that it used to have.

I know a few of my friends have written asking me to help their parents pick out presents. I know it can be confusing buy-ing gifts for us, especially with all the choices in stores these days. Toys, rawhides, cat grass, sweat-ers, sneakers, boots, bouncy noisy toys that drive our parents nuts (though I have to admit, I like those), all manner of beds and houses... you could go crazy trying to decide. Well, whatever you choose, keep your buddy in mind. Some toys are just too big or too small to be any fun. This also goes for clothes and shoes. If they’re too small they can be uncomfortable and make walking and playing difficult. If they’re too big we can trip over them just go-ing out to play. Remember, we have four feet, that is allot of trip-ping. Besides the taunting from our friends! It’s a good idea to know what size you’re looking for. This is one of the main reasons I prefer to go au natural. On the other hand, I have seen a number of my friends sporting some sassy outfits that make me envious

This is the same issue when it comes to toy and chew treats. Some of us are kinda small, so a toy that is bigger then we are just won’t work or one that so small it can fit entirely in our mouths isn’t a very good idea either. Heck, we could get excited and swallow the whole thing. On that sub-ject, Misty and Austin would like you know that it is a good idea to choose toys that don’t have small parts or string that can easily fall off.

Keeping you Pets Safe during the Holidays

Christmas/New Years

by Rick Barton, Pet Journal Staff

As we continue through the holiday season, we still need to be aware of certain precautions re-garding our little, and sometimes not so little, companions. Christ-mas and New Years is a time of great fun and joy for us, but for our companions it can be both scary and potentially dangerous. There are so many new things for them to deal with, so much noise and all the new people coming and going. This can be a very stressful time for pets, especially if this is their first big holiday. For this reason, I want to go over a few points to keep this a wonder-ful and fun holiday for everyone in your household.

Food and TreatsAs mentioned in last month’s

Thanksgiving article, it is very im-portant to keep high fat, sugary, or overly salty foods away from pets. Their digestive systems are not used to such foods and sugar can cause tooth decay, just as if it does to us. Much of what we eat for our holiday meals are safe and nutritious for our friends. The most important point being that everything should be given in moderation. Pets require very little to satisfy them and too much can make them very sick and end in a unnecessary emergency vet-erinary visit. Chocolate should be absolutely avoided. I know at this time of the year chocolate is pretty much everywhere. Just remember to keep it out of the way of curious noses. Alcohol is a factor as well, especially with New Years so close to Christmas. Some people like to give their pets a little champagne to bring them into the holiday celebra-tion, but this has to be avoided, as alcohol is very bad for our little companions. What may put us in a festive holiday spirit could put a pet in the veterinary hospital.

Power CordsIt is important to keep all holi-

day decorations up and out of the reach of curious pets. If possible, try to cover power cords. You can easily do this by using a nice big tree skirt. Does it not only look nice, but also cover the cords leading to the outlet. Some cats and dogs seem to find them irre-sistible and chew on them when-ever they have access to them.

Jim from Sheboygan writes,Dear Alpha Dog, My Australian Shepherd is chew-ing on himself while he’s in the kennel. The vet says he’s not al-lergic to anything. What’s going on?

Dear Jim,There could be a couple of pos-sibilities. When you are dealing with high energy dogs you have to make sure that they are get-ting enough exercise. Do re-search on the breed of dog that you have and find out what they were originally bred for. The Aus-tralian Shepherd dogs were bred to be herding dogs. They are go-ing to be most happy when they can do what they were bred for. There are a couple of things you can do to allow him to do this. Get a bunch of soccer balls and let them loose for him to herd. Keep kicking them around and watch him smile. Another thing you can do is put a backpack on him while you are walking. This will give him a sense of pur-pose. There are backpacks that hold water for the dog to drink on walks so he can carry his own water around and you don’t have to. That added weight will add to his job. This job will make him happy. Practice training with him every day. The solid concentra-tion will help wear him out.

Another possibility is the food he is eating. He may not be allergic to the current food, however, he might be having skin issues be-cause of his breed. I suggest a high nutrition food that has lamb meal as a main ingredient. Lamb meal is used to help dogs with sensitive skin. The foods you are looking for can only be found at a pet specialty store. Ask the spe-cialists there for their recommen-dations.

Always do the research on the breed you have to find the an-swers for a lot of the behavior you see in your dog. Good luck and remember to “Be the alpha dog!”

Sincerely,Alpha Dog

Jackie from Kohler writes,Dear Alpha Dog,My 8 month old Westie is soil-ing the house while we are gone. She is potty trained but she doesn’t hold it while we are gone. What should we do?

Dear Jackie,This is a common problem with puppies. I always recommend having a puppy kenneled while you are away. This will give her a place of her own and keep your home in the condition you left it. The kennel is looked at as a cage by many people. What you need to remember is that dogs like small spaces that they can have as a den. If you look at it as a home or house instead of a cage she will be more likely to appreci-ate the space you’ve given her.

When they are that young they are looking to make their “mark” on the world, so to speak. Un-fortunately, they do this literally. She is basically saying, “This is my house and I allow you to live in it.” When you restrict the area that she is allowed in, she will realize that you are the one who owns the house and she is sim-ply a tenant (To put it in human terms…it’s a bit more complicated in dog terms).

Basically, she should not be al-lowed to have free reign of the house, or even a part of the house while you are gone. Dogs are very physical when it comes to who is in charge. Whoever is higher or taller is in charge. Who-ever is able to roam the house is in charge. You get the picture. You are in charge. You are the alpha dog! That means you de-termine where she can go and when. The kennel will help.

Sincerely,Alpha Dog

Zoo from page 1.

Park Zoo is not affiliated with the AZA (Association of Zoos & Aquariums), so you will not find some of the accommodations you would find in larger zoos. What you will find is less crowds, this allows you to get a close up view of the animals and less cost, and most community zoos are free to the public. There is also the occasional surprise that you may not find anywhere else. The park that surrounds the zoo has many other activities such as hiking trails, sporting areas, picnic ar-eas, playgrounds, and a number of historic buildings dating back to the early 1900s. Also in the area is beautiful Glen Loch Dam and

waterfall. The dam has a scenic overlook for nature photography and trails along Duncan Creek. All of this and more makes Irvine Park Zoo a great place to spend the afternoon with the family.

Now back to the ani-mals. The day of our visit Lee Schneider and I were able to see a number of the attractions avail-

able. Jennifer, the zookeeper, took time from her very busy schedule to show us around and give us some background on the animals. She also gave us a little behind the scenes view of the workings of a zoo. We were able to visit two beautiful Bengal Ti-gers, one of which was a spec-tacular and rare white tiger; this is a great example of the kind of attraction you will not find in many other zoos. Being that you can walk up to the display glass, we were able to see them up close and personal. They were

very curious, as were many of the animals we encountered, and followed us as we walked past the window. You never realize how beautiful these animals are until you nose to nose with them. Two cougars were also very inter-ested in what we were up to and graciously posed for a number of photos. We checked out the large (5000 sq ft) bear habitat, unfortunately, the bears were un-available at the time due to their yearly hibernation. Behind the main zoo buildings is where you

will find huge fenced enclosures for the Elk, Buffalo, and Deer. The size allows the animals to roam freely as they would in the wild. Currently in this exhibit are 3 Elk, 7 Buffalo, 20 Whitetail Deer, and

15 Fallow Deer. You can either walk or drive to these exhibits; though walking does allow you to detour and enjoy all the beauti-ful scenery, Irvine Park has to offer. During this time, we also had an unofficial zoo tour guide in the form of a Guineafowl. The

Guineafowl is a native of Africa similar to a partridge with dark feathers covered in white spots (see the photo of him pecking at my shoelaces). He kept us com-

pany and occasionally gave us a loud squawk, I am assuming to draw our attention to something, as he followed us the entire time we walked around the exhibits. The Irvine Park Zoo boasts many other animals to visit including monkeys, lemurs, a very friendly Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pig named Harley, cranes, ducks, and many domestic Wisconsin farm animals in their Red Barn petting zoo open during the summer months. When at the zoo be sure to check out their very popular and beau-

tiful pond, which is home to a variety of ducks and swans. The zoo is planning ongoing upgrades to their exhibits, so expect to see more in the coming months and years.

Though winter may be upon us, don’t let the weather outside dissuade you from visit-ing Irvine Park and Zoo. Starting Thanksgiving Day thru January 1, the park is hosting a Christmas Village. The Village is an outdoor display of over 100 Christmas scenes and local historical repli-cas illuminated with over 100,000 lights. The Village is open daily from 7am to 9:30pm for walk or drive through. The display is right next to the zoo, so when you in the area, stop in and say “hi” to the animals.

The zoo is open year round to the public. As mentioned ear-lier, Irvine Park Zoo is not affili-ated with the AZA and thus is a free zoo and relies on the gener-ous donations of visitors and local business. This way you do not have to break the bank to have a fun day with the family.

11December 2010www.petjournalmidwest.com PET JOURNALWinter Bird Feeding

by Rick Barton, Pet Journal Staff

Having bird feeders in your yard can provide you with a re-warding and relaxing hobby. It can add natural beauty to your yard by bring in many of Wiscon-sin’s beautiful indigenous birds and benefit the birds by giving them a regular source of food. During the winter months, this is especially true when food be-comes scarce and the climate is harsh. Here are a few sug-gestions to maximize the benefits of your feeder dur-ing the winter months.

Choose a feeder that has a wide cover over the feeding areas to keep seed relatively snow and rain free. A cover that extends several inches over the edge will offer pro-tection during the most se-vere weather. Choosing a large capacity feeder will also help you by not needing to be refilled as often.

Winter feeders should be placed close to your home or other sheltered locations. Having the feeder close to your home also allows bet-ter viewing and keeps the birds out of cold wintery winds. How-ever, you should place the feeder at least five feet from windows or walls to avoid possible collision.

Something allot of people may not think about is the necessity to keep your feeder clean and ster-ilized during the winter months. Keeping your feeder clean will reduce mold, mildew, and un-healthy conditions that may pro-mote disease among your visiting bird populations. A good time to perform this is when you refill the feeder. This way you can clean out the damp uneaten portions that collect in the bottom of the feeder.

It is important to choose the correct food for winter-feeding. Unlike spring and summer, where there is an abundance of insects and fruits, you will need to sub-sidize this loss with feed that his high in fat and oil content. Many winter mix seeds take this into account. On the other hand, if you wish to make your own, try adding peanuts, niger and sun-flower seeds, peanut butter and suet mixes to your standard bird seed. High fat content gives birds energy to survive the in-climate

weather.

It’s a good idea to store your seed in a large plastic covered bin with a tight seal. This will main-tain the freshness of the seed and keep rodents and bugs out. Leaving seed in the bag only in-vites disaster. Remember, birds are not the only hungry animals in the winter. Make sure you keep your bin in a cool, dry place.

Here are a few more ideas to keep outdoor birds happy and healthy. Clean off feeders after

snowfall to keep them accessible. You may want to consider a heat-ed birdbath; this will give birds a source of drinkable water. Keep the snow around your feeder stamped down so to allow birds easy access to fallen seed. If you have birdhouses, leave them up during the winter months.

With these few thoughts in mind, you can give your feath-ered friends a safe and welcome retreat from the cold, bleak con-ditions and they will thank you with song and beauty they bring to your yard.

Scrappy from page 6.

They love chewing on stuff, but when a toy falls apart, they can choke on the small parts and frankly, the toy just isn’t as much fun when it’s in pieces. So, what it boils down to is, pay attention to what your kids like and gift ap-propriately. Know that whatever you decide on will be loved and enjoyed by your companion. I love anything my parents choose for me.

Often times some of the best gifts are yummy treats. I, myself, never get tired of tasty treats. I know Austin and Misty feel the same way. I have had a number of my friends mention how their parents make them homemade treats. So, I’d like to add a new portion to my column, Cooking with Scrappy. Each month, be-sides my usual witty advice, I’d like to add a recipe for my friends and yours. I would really like to have my readers send in reci-pes their kids love too. For this month, I’d like I’m choosing one treat for me and one for my bud-dies Austin and Misty.

For Austin and Misty:

Kitty Cookies1 cup of whole-wheat flour1/4-cup soy flour1 tsp catnip

1 egg1/3 cup milk2 tbs wheat germ1/3-cup powdered milk1 tbs unsulfurated molasses2 tbs butter or vegetable oilPreheat oven to 350F. Mix dry

ingredients together. Add molas-ses, egg, oil and milk. Roll out flat onto oiled cookie sheet and cut into small, cat bite-sized piec-es. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool and store in tightly sealed con-tainer.

For myself and all my doggy friends:

Peanut Butter Cookies4-cups of wheat flour2-cups of oatmeal3/4-cups chunky peanut butter2 1/2-cups hot waterMix all ingredientsKneed well and roll out to 1/4”

thickness, then cut into shapes Grease pan with non stick spray, place evenly spaced out and at 350 degrees for 40 min

Let cool for 1 to 2 hours

These are pretty easy to make and I know we really like them allot. Just remember, these are treats and shouldn’t replace a meal. See you next month with more advice and fun.

Ask any individual who works at the shelters, rescues, trainers, and rehabilitation centers the an-swer will vary. Ask someone who has adopted a dog from a puppy mill, or from an abused and ne-glected situation and they will all tell you the trauma lives on.

In my experience working with domesticated animals, trauma of their past creates problem behav-iors in the present. Pets who live in our homes or outdoor shelters who’s life revolves around the hu-mans needs and desires, and who live in a stable loving environment shake off the day’s events. Those who have not been so lucky most likely are locked into a pattern of fight or flight.

The wild animals live in the moment. They are one with their environment and shake off the day’s events. Deer is a prime example, they are a prey animal.

Wolves, coyotes, dogs, cougars, and humans are their main pred-ators. When the deer escapes a collision with a car, or the hunter (man or animal), they are able to shake off the increased en-dorphins that fueled the fight or flight. Not so for the majority of the humans and their compan-ions. The natural ancient form of releasing the traumatic events from injuries and illness has been denied to exist in the human’s world.

The best gift we can give our animal friends this Holiday Sea-son is permission to let the past go. Allow Animal Connections to give you and your family a new lease on the present moment with a visit in the privacy of your home. Gift Certificates are also available for the other animal lov-ers in your life.

Through Their Eyes: A Dog’s View of Rescue

by Joel Gollhart, Furry Bottoms RescueEvery day has been the same

since I arrived here. Time passes not in minutes and hours, but in a pattern of events: I wake up; I am fed and let out to relieve my-self. Throughout the day people come in, but most pass me by. I am too old or too young; too hyper or too lazy; too big or too small. The reason changes from person to person, but the result is always the same: I am not the dog for them.

I am fed again and the day ends. The people leave, but I remain; alone except for the unseen others like me. We are lonely shadows silently sharing our existence.

I don’t understand time, but I know what it means when my time is up. My cage is marked with a deadline: seven days. I have seven days to find a home or I will be put to sleep. The countdown begins: seven, six, five… and no one comes for me. Four, three, two… still I am here.

And then there is one: one day left to live for one unwanted dog. There is hope, though. I am one of the lucky few that will be given a second chance. A rescue group has an opening in their foster program and has agreed to take me in.

Suddenly there is a whirlwind of activity. I am taken from cage and walked out to meet some-one in front of the building. I’m handed over and walked to a car where the person helps me climb into a crate. There are other crates with other dogs inside the vehicle. We come from different places and different backgrounds. We are different breeds and dif-ferent ages, but we have our fear and uncertainty in common.

The person driving is kind, though. She speaks to us quietly as she drives. There is mellow music playing and the sound of the tires slowly lulls us to sleep.

After some time we stop in a parking lot. I am brought out to use the bathroom and then hand-

ed off to another person. It is a man this time. He bends down to scratch my head and then lifts me into the crate in his vehicle. There are different dogs, but the pattern is the same – the gentle speaking; the lull of the tires.

Again we stop and this time I am handed over to a woman with no other dogs. I take a short ride with her to the last stop on my journey for the day. I have ar-rived at my foster home.

For two weeks I get used to my new surroundings. Slowly I come to trust my new family and the hurt of the past begins to be erased. I become more confident and self-assured. I am given medical care, and though it isn’t fun, I feel better than I have in longer than I can remember. Best of all, I am given a name. I am no longer just a meaningless number.

Time continues to pass and I continue to settle in to my new surroundings. Through hard work and positive reinforcement I learn my manners. I appreci-ate the affection I am shown and return it tenfold. My shell cracks and the dog I was always mean to be shines through.

Still, though, something is miss-ing. While my foster family loves and cares for me, it is not the same as the love they share with their own pets. I am a part of something wonderful, but it is only temporary. I still need to find a forever home of my own.

Then one day it happens. My foster family brings another fami-ly in to meet me. There is a man, a woman and a little boy. It takes only minutes for me to know that this is what I have been waiting for.

The boy asks permission from his mother and then sits on the floor next to me. Never before have I felt such love from the hands of a human. He strokes my fur and scratches behind my ears in just the right spot. He smiles and in that moment my

heart becomes his.

His parents sign some papers while I sit with him on the floor. Soon I say my bittersweet good-byes to the family that showed me how much more there was to life than I had known. I am given a new collar and leash. As we walk out the door I glance back, hoping they know I am grateful,

then, head held high I trot off with my new family, knowing now what it is to have life, to have hope and to have love.

I am a rescue dog. I may not understand time the way that you do, but I know I am grateful for the time you have given me.

Thank youJoin the Pet Journal group on facebook!

Well, winter is upon us as I write this and you need to think about your dog and his comfort. The winter weather and the dry furnace air are really hard on dogs coats. Think about this, the dog was not intended to live inside and does not do very well with our warm dry air inside dur-ring the winter.

The first thing I want to talk about is the coat. As winter ar-rives do not think that the hair is all that keeps your dog warm. He does need hair but matted hair does not keep him warm. A well brushed dog has air spaces be-tween the hair shafts, kind of like the down on a duck or a goose. So brush him very well, down to the skin. If you are not sure you are getting down to the skin use a comb, metal only, not plastic as the teeth flex to much and just go right over the mats. If your comb does not go through the hair all the way to the skin you will need to back and brush some more. This is very important, you must brush your dog, whether long-haired, medium-haired, or short-haired. Try to brush him twice a week. It is very important in the winter that you fluff the hair and remove the mats to keep him warm.

Now to the other problem - FLEAS. Yes. they want to come

in where it is warm, too. The life cycle of a flea is very compli-cated. They (fleas) have four life stages, and most chemicals used to remove them do not work at all stages. Prevention is the best and most effective method of re-moval. The best way to prevent fleas is to use one of the monthly medications sold by vets. Use these preparations precisely as the veternarian prescribes! They are dangerous and powerfull poi-sons, so be carefull and only ad-minister as the vet prescribes.

I want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Untill next time

Safety from page 5.

Christmas TreesNatural and artificial trees

both pose hazards for pets. Nat-ural trees can have sharp needles that are shed and when eaten by pets can be very dangerous. There is no effective way to re-duce the shedding process, as it is natural for the tree. Pine or fir trees may be a better choice since they have softer needles. In addition, many trees are treat-ed with preservatives to keep them looking fresh for longer

and these can be potentially in-jurious to animals. Natural trees also require water to keep them fresher for longer. Dogs and cats may drink this water. Though the water in itself is not dangerous, preservatives and fertilizers can leach into the water and make pets very sick. One last point on water, allot of people also use tree preservatives, which are sold in many stores to keep the tree green throughout the holidays. These chemicals too can pose a health risk for your pets. Once again, a tree skirt can be used to cover the reservoir that holds the water.

Cats pose another risk since they love to climb into Christmas trees. This can cause the tree to tip over and hurt the cat. Again, there are those tasty power cords to chew on. There really is not much that will keep a curious kitty out of the tree, but there are pre-

cautions you can take. If you are going to be away from the tree for an extended period of time, turn off the power to the lights. If possible, close the door to the room that contains the tree.

PresentsMany people, myself includ-

ed, like to put presents under the tree as soon as you buy them. It looks really nice and adds to the holiday spirit. However, when placing presents under the tree for extended periods there are a few points to bear in mind. Avoid placing gifts of food or candy un-der the tree where pets can get to them. Their strong sense of smell will draw them to those presents and result is usually the same. A box torn to pieces and potentially a very sick pet on your hands. It is also a good idea to avoid using small thin ribbons, cord, or string to seal or decorate gifts. As mentioned above re-garding power cords, these deco-rations are almost irresistible to some pets who love to chew on them.

OrnamentsOrnaments made from glass,

though beautiful, can break into small pieces, which can cause cuts to the paws and mouth. In addition, many older decorations contain lead based paint that can be hazardous to both pets and children when handled. Tinsel and angel hair can, when chewed or eaten, cause blockage and internal injury. There has been

a return to natural ornaments such as popcorn, candy, cran-berries, gingerbread and so on. These look nice and add a rustic charm to a tree, but they are far too tempting for animals. This is mostly because they are food and if they can smell it, they will want to eat it. Though the decorations themselves are not bad for them, it’s the string used to hold them together that they will ingest that can cause internal damage.

Christmas stockings can be an-other problem when it comes to our little friends. It is not so much the smaller gifts that are placed in them, but the chocolate and candy that are also there. Even wrapped, a keen nose can detect the scent of treats in the stocking and they will chew through or dig them out to get to them. Try to hang them up out of the reach of pets to prevent this.

Holiday PlantsThere are also a number of

holiday plants that need to be kept out of the reach of pets. As mentioned earlier, pine needles cause not only irritation from sharp points, but can also cause nausea, trembling, and weak-ness. Holly can cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and depres-sion. Mistletoe is extremely dangerous not only to our pets, but also to ourselves. Poisoning from Mistletoe can cause nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties, collapse, hallucinations and even death. Poinsettias have had a

tough time during the holidays. Though their deadly reputation has prevented many concerned people from decorating with them, studies have shown them to be non-lethal to pets and chil-dren. They can, however, cause nausea and stomach irritation.

As is common during the holi-day season, people love to visit one another. If you plan to have more than one visitor or a party, consider confining your pet to a room with plenty of food and water while your guests are in your home. Many people coming and going can be very stressful for your pets and giving them a refuge away from all the excite-ment and noise is very calming and makes them feel safe. In addition, this reduces the risk of them slipping past guests as they enter or leave. Sometimes this is unavoidable, for this reason it is a good idea to have your pets licensed.

I know what some people are thinking, “What’s the point of putting up anything if the po-tential of harm is so high”. This does seem overwhelming, but it does not have to be. You can have the same amount of deco-ration and fun as you did before you are companions arrived, just be a little more aware of them when decorating or celebrating the holidays.

MILWAUKEE – It’s soon to be the time of year Wisconsinites have come to know and love – bitter cold temperatures along with snowy and icy streets. The Wisconsin Humane Society would like to remind people who care for animals that this time of year may pose threats to their furry friends, and suggest the following tips to avoid cold weather perils and help keep their animals safe:

• Keep your animals in-side. Even Northern Breed dogs like Malamutes and Chow Chows need heated, comfortable shelter away from bitter cold tempera-tures and high winds to stay safe. Only take your dogs outside long enough to re-lieve him/herself and keep cats indoors at all times.

• If you see spilled an-tifreeze, clean it up. The sweet taste of this lethal poison actually attracts animals. Use more animal-friendly formulations of products if possible, such as

propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol.

• Always keep your dogleashed on snow and ice. Despite their powerful noses dogs often lose their scent in the snow and ice, and can easily become lost.

• Never leave your com-panion animal alone in the car, especially in cold weath-er. The car can quickly be-come a refrigerator and your beloved animal can freeze to death.

• When your dog comesin out of the rain, snow or ice, thoroughly wipe off his or her legs, feet and stom-ach. Salt and antifreeze can kill dogs, so it is very impor-tant that these harmful sub-stances are wiped off before your dog has a chance to lick them off his or her own paws. The Wisconsin Hu-mane Society sells booties that can be worn by dogs to help prevent salt and anti-

freeze from sticking to paw pads. Also, pay special at-tention to your canine’s paw pads. Snow and ice caught between the pads can make them bleed.

• Before you start yourcar, beep your horn several times. Cats often look for warm places to rest, and the hood of your car or even un-derneath the vehicle might be options for them. By honking your horn, cats will be alerted to run away.

• The cold weather typi-cally means the furnace is cranked up. It’s dangerous for animals to rest under or near a radiator or other heat-ing system. Consider placing an appropriate cover that is especially made for heating systems so animals can be safe from these areas. Also, find a warm place for yourfurry friend to sleep – away from heaters, but not near a cold draft.
