Berns 8 [email protected] 9 Keywords: Dog, odor, mixture, fMRI, RFC, MVPA, decoding, brain 10 Abstract 11 In working and practical contexts, dogs rely upon their ability to discriminate a target odor from 12 distracting odors and other sensory stimuli. Few studies have examined odor discrimination using 13 non-behavioral methods or have approached odor discrimination from the dog’s perspective. Using 14 awake fMRI in 18 dogs, we examined the neural mechanisms underlying odor discrimination 15 between two odors and a mixture of the odors. Neural activation was measured during the 16 presentation of a target odor (A) associated with a food reward, a distractor odor (B) associated with 17 nothing, and a mixture of the two odors (A+B). Changes in neural activation during the presentations 18 of the odor stimuli in individual dogs were measured over time within three regions known to be 19 involved with odor processing: the caudate nucleus, the amygdala, and the olfactory bulbs.

  • Health Management: Doggy World Aim at Making Pet Parenting an Enjoyable Process
    # Health Management: Doggy world aim at making pet parenting an enjoyable process. This can be achieved only when a regular update regarding the care and management of dogs for all the stages is provided to the parents beforehand. Vets at doggy world regularly update the owners regarding the care and management during different pet stages. 1. Care and health management of puppy Bringing home a new pup is very easy task but making him a part of a family is a very difficult and tedious job. It require a lot of responsibility and care to make him part of the family. Many things need to be taken care of like: • Feeding – Like a small child a pup needs to be fed at short intervals. An interval of 4-5 hours is good enough to begin with that is to be increased as the pup grows. The suggested feeding time as per the age is as below: Age (months) feeding (no. of times in a day) 1-3 5 3-6 4 6-12 3 Above 12 2 Suggested food to begin with-cerelac, curd, porridge, puppy dog food (starter diets), paneer etc. A pup’s feed should be very different from a child’s feed hence a vet opinion is to be taken for formulating the pups diet. A pup’s diet should be rich in protein and good fats apart from having sufficient energy hence adequate provision should be made to fulfill the need of these nutrients. Most of the pups cannot digest milk hence it can be avoided in case of problem.

    Executive Memorandum (P11-05), Supersedes P08-02 June 2011 Subject: Humboldt State University Service Dog Policy I. Policy: It is the policy of Humboldt State University (HSU or the University) to provide equal access and reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities to participate in any program, service, or opportunity provided by the campus; and to comply with applicable law related to service dogs for persons with disabilities, including any such person studying at, employed at, and/or visiting the HSU campus. As used in this policy, disability means a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of an individual. Campus visitors, new arrivals, or other interested persons with a service dog should be provided with this policy and referred to HSU’s Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) for more information and/or advising on using a service dog on the HSU campus. HSU employees should contact the HSU Human Resources office for more information.

Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition.

Whether you are longtime dog owner or are just welcoming a puppy into your life, you are among a privileged group – the enthusiasm, loyalty and unconditional love a dog provides can enrich your life in many ways. In fact, the relationship you share with your dog may be among the most rewarding relationships you experience. As a dog owner, you should know that many of the problems that face America’s pets are preventable – from flea and heartworm infestations to undesirable behaviors such as aggression to obesity and the very serious issue of pet overpopulation. Whether you are a new puppy owner or share your life with a senior dog, be a responsible dog owner – your dog’s quality of life and the relationship the two of you share is greatly influenced by you. Learn what is expected of you and what you can expect from your dog, because the more you know, the better you can become at providing your dog with the best care possible. The Purina Pet Institute is dedicated to helping all dogs live longer, healthier lives. We’ve created this booklet as a step-by-step guide to responsible dog own- ership, for all life stages and levels of experience. It is meant to serve as a handy, factual reference tool and covers the basics of dog care, from selecting a dog to conducting regular “wellness check-ups” at home, to providing proper nutrition and veterinary care for all life stages.
