What is socialization?

Socialization is the process by which puppies learn the skills needed to mature into normal adult dogs. Proper puppy socialization allows puppies to learn how to explore and become accustomed to their surroundings, and it also allows them to learn how to get along with littermates, puppies from outside their litters, older dogs, other animal species and people. Only through proper socialization can puppies become loving, confident and trainable pets.

Why is Hair or Fur Important to Dog Health and Well-Being?

  • It protects the skin from chemicals, bacteria, and physical injury. It also helps regulate body temperature:
  • Coat glossiness reflects sunlight to aid in cooling.
  • It also acts as a barrier to block wind, rain, and snow to aid in warming.
  • Color, length, and density can help retain or dissipate heat.

Hair mats are commonly found under the collar, behind the ears, and in the armpits—areas where there is rubbing

Matted Hair May:

  • Be painful
  • Cause skin irritation
  • Hide foreign bodies, such as ingrown collars
  • Hide tumors, injuries, or other skin disease
  • Trap foreign material such as leaves, twigs, mud, urine, or feces
  • Interfere with vision, hearing, and chewing
  • Interfere with urination and defecation
  • Interfere with normal movement
  • Interfere with temperature regulation, both cooling and warming

Household pets do not include reptiles (except turtles), amphibians, fish, insects/arachnids, farm animals (including horses), and animals kept for racing purposes.

Congregate Household Pet Shelters – Any private or public facility that provides refuge to rescued household pets and the household pets of shelterees in response to a declared major disaster or emergency.

Traveling with Your Pet

When travelling with your pet(s), there may be animal health requirements specific for that destination. As soon as you know your travel details, contact your local veterinarian to assist with the pet travel process. Factors to consider may include meeting time frames for obtaining a health certificate, updating vaccinations, diagnostic testing, or administration of medications/ treatments.
