END OF SUMMER
Now that summer is just about over and life gets back on schedule.THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!
We can't forget our faithful four legged friends. Just like people, they need a schedule to follow too. Sometimes it is hard for our animals to understand when we have been home more than usual and now we are not going to be. Remember we have day care daily if you do not want to leave your pets home by themselves all day.

MSPCA CLOSES SEPTEMBER 30TH
Thanks to a few local rescue groups the shelter on West Elm Extension on the Easton/Brockton line will remain open to help pets in need.
It will no longer be the MSPCA-It will now be called the "Animal Protection Center of South Eastern Massachusetts."
The Mission of the APCSM is to operate an open admission animal care and adoption facility, with focus on prevention of cruelty to animals, education and outreach, low-cost spay/neuter programs and helping animals and people in the community.
Check them out on Face book to see all the fun events they are having to raise money for this great cause-Yard sales, bake sales, Agility training, walks and more.
You can also check out there website for more information and ways you can hep in their efforts to help our community in the exhausting fight against cruelty & neglect and help educate our community in how to put and end to this problem.

Few Reminders about September weather:
* Don't forget it is still summer weather in September, it gets hazy, hot, and humid and our furry friends need to be kept cool with plenty of water and shade.
* Please do not leave your pets in the car when you have to run errands. It gets very hot inside the car even with the windows open a little. It is safer to leave them at home where they can stay cool.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM PAST NEWS LETTERS:
Flea & Tick Preventive Warnings
Recently there was a story on topical flea and tick prevention and all the dangers involved with these products. They named almost ALL the products on the market.Although some cases of reaction could be true, it like anything else we or they come in contact with that could cause a reaction. The benefits of the proper products along with the proper use definitely out weigh the risks. Lymes disease is at an all time high so please be sure your pet is protected!!
Some hints:
~ Always check with your vet on the best product for your pet.
~ Try to avoid pet store products as most don't work anyway.
~ Be sure the product you have chosen is for the proper specie (cat or dog) and proper size for your pet.
~ Be sure you are applying the product properly.
~ If you see a possible reaction staring immediately wash the product off and call your vet.
We choose Advantix and have been using it on all our own dogs for years without incident. (knock on wood). We choose this product because it not only covers ticks and fleas but mosquitos as well.

Just a reminder for the end of Summer Cookouts
Make sure all gates and doors are locked so your dog does not escape. Dogs DO NOT digest food the way we do, encourage your guest NOT to feed your dog burgers and hot dogs. Although tempting they can get stomach upset & severe diarrhea from this.
1. Onions/Garlic: Definitely hold off on this veggie and herb (Lucky might shed a tear over the entire concept)! Onions and garlic would not just give Lucky bad breath, but on burgers, hot dogs, or kabobs, are toxic to both dogs and cats and can cause Heinz (not talking the ketchup condiment here) body anemia.
2. Tomatoes: A big - No! This veggie contains Atropine that causes dilated pupils, tremors and an irregular heartbeat. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants.
3. Chocolate: This might be truly my one scrumptious weakness but this treat is not a dog's best friend. Chocolate contains Theobromine, a stimulant found in the cocoa bean that is harmful to your dog and causes unpleasant, and dangerous, side effects.
4. Salt: Hold off on the salt and spice! Giving your dog too many salty snacks (i.e.: potato chips or pickles) can lead to some dogs drinking too much water. Overdrinking can lead a to a dangerous, and sometimes fatal, condition called bloat in which the dog's stomach gets too full and can twist or rupture. So hold off on the snacks and keep an eye on how much your mutt drinks throughout the day.
5. Macadamia Nuts: You'd be nutty to slip your dog a nut or two! Aloha, Macadamia nuts have been known to cause muscular weakness, tremors, bladder stones, and severe illness in dogs. In fact, most nuts are a no-go for dogs so best to keep all types away from your pup.
6. Grapes: Healthy for you, highly dangerous for your pup! This innocent snack, believe it or not, can lead to kidney failure in your pet!
7. Sweeteners/Sugar: Don't give into your dog's sweet tooth, because sugar can release insulin and lead to liver failure!
8. BBQ Chicken: Avoid giving your dog bones of any kind, because if eaten they can splinter and harm a pet's internal organs! When you just can't help but give in, simply pull the meat off the bone and only give a small amount!
9. Keep the alcohol away from your dog! Though a Bloodhound Mary or a Dachshund Daiquiri might sound nice, alcohol and dogs do not mix! This seems like an obvious summer "BBQ Don't", but I have caught Lucky trying to sneak a sip poolside! Keep your drinks above paws' reach, no need to see exactly how much trouble your stumbling pup might find. Not to mention the severe health risks associated with alcohol consumption in animals.
Ensuring your pup avoids foods such as the above-mentioned will help ensure a fun, safe, and satiating summer for the both of you! We're not trying to say that there are no safe ways for your pup to welcome the summer with a little indulgence. For a variety of safe and delicious (for your pup anyway) summertime treats, check out petsmart.com and go to the "Treats and Biscuits" section. Trust me, your dog will thank you!

| I want to say "Thank You" to all for a wonderful first month on the job at Classie Canines. I love meeting you and your wonderful dogs. Please keep being patient with me when I ask for the dogs name and the last name, soon I will know both. Thank you again.
Diane |
Sincerely,
The staff at Classie Canines
