Provided to DogTrekker by
Vetted Pet Care:
On January 1st, three new pet-related laws went into effect in California. Although all these measures were passed in months and years prior, they didn't actually codify into law until the change of the new year.
These include pet stores now only allowed to sell rescues, changes in pet custody during divorce proceedings and first responders are now allowed to provide potentially life saving care to dogs and other pets after an emergency.

Many of our destination partners suffered significant losses from the devastating fires that ravaged Northern California this past year. When we asked you to support rescue and adoption organizations within those communities, you responded and contributed. You also gave to the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles rescue/adoption agencies that provided much needed support. When we invited you to return to those destinations after the smoke had cleared to support their communities, you did. Thank you for your support.
We also want to thank our team of
Vet Buzz veterinarians who have provided valuable tips and seasonal guidelines twice a month through the DogTrekker newsletter. Whether it’s caring for an elderly dog, holistic approaches to health care, the dangers of toxic algae blooms or tick and rattlesnake warnings, our Vet Buzz contributors have you covered. Sign up for the DogTrekker
newsletter if someone passed this email on to you.

Four Ways to a Happier Deaf Dog
By Chris Pitts, RVT, of
Broadway Animal Hospital.
There is a funny trait of many owners of deaf dogs. They tell me, as I talk kindly to their deaf dog, “My dog can't hear you,” and then they look really irritated when I continue to prattle along lovingly to their dog as I take him into the treatment room. Here's the deal. Deaf dogs may not be able to hear me, but most of them can still see me. They respond really well to body language. They can respond when I give them a pat. And those noses definitely work when I offer a cookie. So here's my top four tips for a happier deaf dog.
