MtOWISTMC10.1 r lAt 2007 ALAC National Specialty K9 Phologr.lphy by Pal Water 131SS CU. liVLAN SUOTRU FULL OF DREAMS Our dreams come true! www.roanshotru.com IF YOU LOVE YOUR "BABY" DOG. THEN FEED HIM THE FINEST DOG FOOD IN THE WORLD Dogs 35 pounds or under, need special care. These little mouths, small stomachs, short digestion tracts, and high metabolism, require knowledge from both regular and holistic training. Oriental dogs( Pekes, Shihtzu, Shiba mu, Lhasas, Pugs), Arctic dogs (Poms, American Eskimos), dogs from England, Scotland and Ireland (Spaniels, Terriers, bird dogs) as well as water dogs, Poodles, Cotons, and, Maltese, fit into this category. Mini schnauzers, and, Chihuahuas, are also included. All these dogs were fed a fish-based diet, as well as the sea vegetation nutrients available in our Solid Gold Sea Meal. Our Solid Gold dry dog food called "Just a Wee Bit", for small mouths has free range bison, which are not given any hormones, are not dehorned, not castrated and are fed free range healthy grass. Our salmon is not farmed, since farmed salmon may contain Genetically Modified Corn. We use only wild, hook-and-line caught salmon from Alaskan cold waters. All of the above named breeds must be fed a fish-based dog food since this supports his genome (think DHA)of the body. Otherwise the immunity enzyme or hormone systems of the body suffer. All Solid Gold Dog Foods are fish-based. Solid Gold never uses soybean (also known as lecithin), wheat, or corn, which causes allergies in dogs. It causes them to chew at the root of the tail or lick their feet. Solid Gold uses amaranth, millet, and barley. We do not use animal/poultry fats, which may be rancid. We use the healthy flax/canola oils. We never use sunflower oil, which the Swedish National Cancer Society warns may increase the risk of cancer by 69%. Solid Gold "Just a Wee Bit" contains 28% protein. No matter the age of the dog, the small dog's higher metabolism does better with a higher protein food. Look for the pink hermetically/vacuumed sealed holographic bag. It has a white Westie on the front. Wee Bit comes in a 4-pound or 15-pound bags, the kibble is small and about 1/4 inch across. Introduce Wee Bits gradually with the old food. Our treat for the "baby" dog is called Tiny Tots for the little mouth. It is a soft lamb bone-shaped treat, great for training. It can easily be broken into pieces. All dogs love Tiny Tots. They are in a one-pound bright orange bag with a yellow sun. The bag is re-sealable. Most treats are only it 44 4 ounces. Tiny Tots is a whole pound. So, if you love your "baby" dog, feed him Wee Bits. It is available at animal supply stores, or directly from Solid Gold. For larger dogs, use our Wolf King or Wolf Cub. The formula is the same, only with larger pieces and with less protein. "Rash! 137 dry dog food brands were recalled for killing over 5,500 dogs and causing 300,000 to be come ill. Only seven dry dog food brands were not recalled. Solid Gold was one of the seven."

We must also thank Tom Worlton and Pat Keen- grow and succeed in its endeavor to preserve and pro- Fernandez for their services as well and hopefully they mote the Lhasa Apso. will continue to stay involved in ALAC. And please welcome two new board members, Bud Brockway and Lynette Sherry Swanson. Bud is a seasoned veteran of the board, [email protected] having served in the past, and Sherry, as an exhibitor and 817-875-8513 an AKC licensed judge, will bring a new vision to the reigning officers and board of directors... For the past number of years we have seen the numbers of breeders and exhibitors decrease in our breed. I be- lieve that it is important that we promote the Lhasa Apso to the general public and to willingly encourage and accept new people into our fold, teaching and mentoring them along the way, whether their interest be breeding, performance, or simply owning this delightful breed as an intelligent companion and best friend. In today's technological world, the Internet is a source of unlimited potential in promoting the Lhasa Apso, whether to impart information on its acquisition or care, as well as to pro- mote the American Lhasa Apso Club. I would like to see ALAC expand on the potential offered by the Internet, including upgrading the ALAC website. It is important that the Officers and Board of Directors received input from the membership as to the direction that the club should take. Leslie Baumann established ALAConline to get information to the membership in a timely manner. I am hoping to develop an online list in which the Board can receive direct input on matters of JoAnne _flays importance regarding decisions before the board.

    GRREAT May/June 1998 Volume 8, Number 3 News Published by Golden Retriever Rescue, Education and Training, Inc. From the President Ever since I volunteered to be a GRREAT foster home a number of years ago, people Shaaron Plate have asked me questions: How can you do it? How can you bear to take a dog into your family, love it, care for it, train it, sometimes even nurse it back to health, only to go through the pain of adopting it to someone else? How can you constantly disrupt, and sometimes distress your own dogs by bringing strange canines into their pack? How do you manage your lifestyle to allow time to foster? How do you care for “special needs” dogs who are old, infirm, or have behavioral problems? I’ve heard many other people say, ‘I’d like to be able to foster rescued dogs, but I know I’d never be able to give them up to new homes.’ How would you answer the people who ask these questions? From the President, continued on page 4 Sharing the One of the nicest, most charming, highly intelligent and kindest persons I know spoke to me this morning at 6 a.m. I woke up and said “Skip, you need to write another article for Responsibility the newsletter.” I then rolled over and said “I’m absolutely right!” Modesty refrains me of Pet Ownership from saying more... Skip Nizer I lay there thinking, trying not to move so I wouldn’t wake Debbie. She wasn’t feeling good. I was even extra quiet as she got up to let the dogs out.

  • REGULAR CAT FOOD COMPARISON CHART Ob·Li·Gate [Adj
    REGULAR CAT FOOD COMPARISON CHART ob·li·gate [adj. ob-li-geyt] car·ni·vore [noun kahr-nuh-vohr] An obligate or a true carnivore is an animal that must eat meat in order to thrive. Just like leopards, lions and tigers, your cat is an obligate carnivore and has no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates in their diet. True carnivores lack the physiology required for the efficient digestion of vegetable matter and, in fact, some carnivorous mammals eat vegetation specifically as an emetic (to induce vomiting). The domestic cat is a prime example of an obligate or true carnivore and has no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates or other vegetable matter. The excess carbs and plant products found in many leading cat foods may be the primary cause of diabetes, obesity and UTI in cats today.

  • CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE DIET – Dogs
    CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE DIET – Dogs GOALS: *Feed moderate to high amounts of fat *Moderate amounts of HIGH QUALITY Protein *Low Phosphorus *Low Phosphorus carbohydrates to fill in *Lots of clean, fresh filtered or low mineral bottled water, juices, and broth + other liquids. CALORIES: ~1/3 Fat – Start with small amounts and gradually increase, watching for digestive upset + decreasing amount if diarrhea occurs. ( Careful with pancreatitis) ~1/3 Protein – High quality protein is key, daily protein requirement increases for dogs in CRF. As long as phosphorus is kept low you shouldn’t worry about feeding too much protein. ~1/3 Carbs – While dogs don’t have a nutritional need for carbs, you may need to feed up to 50% carbs to keep phosphorus low. HOME MADE DIET: FAT: Adds calories and energy, easy to digest for most dogs. Fatty meats, butter, whole-milk yogurt, egg yolks, coconut oil, fish (body) oil – are all good sources of saturated fat. MEATS: Use highest fat ground hamburger available, lamb is very high in fat, so is pork, dark meat chicken + turkey have more fat than white meat but poultry is still a low-fat meat so leaving skin on is preferable. Beef has less phosphorus than chicken, lamb and turkey are in between. EGGS: Yolks are high in fat but also high in phosphorus so feed in moderation. DAIRY: Whole-milk yogurt (try goat’s milk yogurt for flavor if dog doesn’t like regular whole-milk yogurt), cottage cheese, ricotta, etc. Use kinds with the most fat when fed but feed in moderation because they are high in phosphorus.
