Gardening with Your Best Fur Friend.
Gardening is not just a hobby for hoomans; it can be a fun and enriching activity for our furry companions too! However, while embarking on this green-thumbed adventure with your pup, it’s crucial to keep their safety in mind. Today, we’re digging into how to make your garden a safe and enjoyable space for your dog, highlighting some plants to watch out for, and suggesting fun activities to do together in your little slice of nature. Plants to Keep on Your Radar While many plants add beauty and vibrancy to our gardens, not all are pet-friendly. Here’s a quick list of common garden plants that are potentially harmful to dogs: Sago Palm: Highly toxic, even small amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and severe liver damage. Tulips: The bulbs are particularly toxic, causing oral irritation, drooling, and even heart issues. Azaleas: Ingesting just a few leaves can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and excessive drooling. Severe cases might cause central nervous system issues and potentially be life-threatening. Oleander: Every part of this plant is toxic, leading to severe symptoms, including cardiac issues, severe vomiting, and possibly death. This list is not exhaustive, so always research or consult with a vet before introducing new plants into your garden. Dog-Friendly Gardening Activities 1. Create a Sniffing Garden: Dedicate a small area of your garden to dog-friendly plants like lavender, rosemary, and mint. These plants are safe for dogs and can provide a sensory experience for your pup. 2. Set Up a Digging Box: Many dogs love to dig. Instead of having them disrupt your flower beds, set up a designated digging box filled with soft soil or sand. Bury toys or treats for them to find! 3. Agility Course: Use garden space to set up a simple agility course. You can use planters, soft gardening tools, and safe structures to create obstacles. It’s a great way to exercise and train your dog in a fun environment. 4. Water Play Area: If you have enough space, consider setting up a small water play area. A shallow kiddie pool or a sprinkler can provide hours of fun for a water-loving dog, especially on hot days. 5. Safe Exploration Space: Ensure your garden is fenced or has a safe, enclosed area where your dog can explore freely without the risk of escaping or ingesting harmful plants. Gardening with your dog can be a delightful experience, fostering a deeper bond between you and your furry friend while enjoying the great outdoors. By taking precautions to ensure the plants in your garden are safe and creating engaging activities, you can turn your garden into a paradise for both you and your pup. As we wrap up our gardening guide, let’s not forget about one last essential step for our furry gardeners: clean paws make for happy hoomans and homes! After a day of sniffing, digging, and playing, your pup’s paws can collect dirt and possibly harmful substances from plants.

Winter brings unique challenges for dog owners, from managing cold temperatures to ensuring proper skin and paw care. Cleo&Hooman present a comprehensive guide to navigate these challenges effectively. This detailed piece combines essential cold-weather care tips with insights on understanding temperature thresholds for different dogs, ensuring your furry friend's safety and comfort during the chilly months. What’s Too Cold for Your Dog? A Dog-Friendly Temperature Guide Above 45°F: Most dogs are comfortable, but consider size, age, and coat type. Below 45°F: Dogs averse to cold may start to feel discomfort. Watch for signs like shivering. Below 32°F: Smaller breeds, those with thin coats, very young or old dogs, and dogs with health issues may be more sensitive to cold. Below 20°F: It's critical to limit outdoor time. Never leave dogs outside in these conditions. Pay attention to signs of hypothermia and frostbite. These guidelines are supported by the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), which both provide resources on pet safety in cold weather. Their insights form a crucial part of understanding and responding to the risks posed by colder temperatures. 1. The Right Winter Gear Coats and Sweaters: Essential for dogs with thin coats in temperatures below 45°F. Booties: Protect paws from cold, salt, and chemicals. Reflective Gear: Important for visibility during short winter days. 2. Adjusting Your Dog's Diet and Exercise in Winter Caloric Needs: Some dogs may need more calories in the winter to maintain body heat, especially if they're active outdoors. Indoor Activities: When it's too cold, engage your dog with indoor exercises like interactive toys and training games. 3. Skin and Paw Care in Cold Weather Dry Skin: Less humidity can dry out your dog’s skin. Consider a humidifier and ensure they're well-hydrated. Paw Protection: Regularly check and clean your dog’s paws. Consider using Zoomie Wipes for added protection. These wipes are specially formulated to gently remove salt, dirt, and chemicals from your dog’s paws, reducing the risk of irritation and dryness. The natural ingredients in Zoomie Wipes also provide a soothing effect, keeping paws healthy during the harsh winter months. 4. Recognizing and Preventing Cold-Related Health Issues Hypothermia and Frostbite: Know the signs and seek immediate veterinary care if suspected. Safe Outdoor Time: Keep walks short in extreme cold and monitor your dog for discomfort. 5. Creating a Cozy Indoor Environment Warm Bedding: Ensure a warm, draft-free sleeping area. Avoid Heat Sources: Protect your dog from burns and overheating near heaters or fireplaces. Winter care for dogs requires careful consideration of their breed, size, and health. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your dog enjoys the winter season safely and comfortably.

Material Choice: Consider the material - plastic, metal, or fabric - based on your dog's needs and your travel plans. 3. The Crate Training Process Introducing the Crate: Start by letting your dog explore the crate with the door open. Place comfy bedding and some favorite toys inside.

Increasing Crate Time: Gradually increase the time your dog spends in the crate, starting with short intervals. 4. Tips for Success Consistency is Key: Keep a consistent schedule for crate time.

Avoid Using the Crate as Punishment: The crate should always be a happy and safe space, not a place for time-outs. 5. Addressing Common Crate Training Issues Whining or Barking: If your dog whines or barks, wait until they are quiet before letting them out, to avoid reinforcing the behavior.

It's not just about creating a routine; it's about building trust and comfort. With these steps and tips, your dog will soon view their crate as their own personal retreat.

Understanding Dog Behavior: Why Does My Dog Do That?
Have you ever watched your dog do something peculiar and wondered, “What on Earth are they thinking?” You're not alone! Welcome to Cleo&Hooman's guide to understanding your canine companion. In this fun and insightful blog, we'll decode common dog behaviors and delve into the fascinating world of dog psychology. Plus, we'll share some handy behavior modification techniques to help you and your furry friend live in perfect harmony – or should we say, "paw-fect" harmony! 1. The Tail-Chasing Tango Behavior: Your dog spins in circles chasing their tail. Meaning: It can be a sign of playfulness or an itch they can’t reach. However, excessive tail-chasing might indicate behavioral or health issues. Modification: Provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If it's excessive, consult a vet. 2. The Midnight Howl Concert Behavior: Your dog howls, especially at night. Meaning: Howling can be a form of communication or a response to environmental triggers like sirens. Modification: Ensure your dog feels secure. Sometimes, a cozy sleeping area away from noise can reduce nighttime howling. 3. The Great Sneaker Heist Behavior: Stealing and chewing on your shoes. Meaning: This could be a sign of teething, boredom, or a love for your scent. Modification: Provide appropriate chew toys and keep shoes out of reach. Remember, it's a shoe-in solution! 4. The Mysterious Carpet Digging Behavior: Scratching or digging at the carpet. Meaning: This ancestral behavior can be a way to mark territory, create a comfortable sleeping spot, or bury something valuable (like that bone from last week). Modification: Provide a designated dig spot or a comfy bed to satisfy this natural instinct. 5. The Puzzling Paw Offer Behavior: Offering a paw to you or others. Meaning: It’s a sign of trust and a request for attention. Sometimes, it's just a polite doggy “handshake.” Modification: Positive reinforcement when they offer a paw at appropriate times strengthens this friendly gesture. Understanding your dog's behavior is key to a harmonious relationship. Remember, every dog has its unique quirks, and what's normal for one might be unusual for another. So, next time your dog displays one of these behaviors, you'll have a better idea of what they're trying to tell you. And remember, when in doubt, always consult a professional – because sometimes, dogs are just barking up the wrong tree!
