The Polite Puppies at Happy Paws

This past Sunday marked the sixth month of Polite Puppy classes we have held at Happy Paws.  After speaking about behavior modification with the new puppy owners I thought I would repost this article to remind everyone how they should be training their dogs.  I initially wrote this post after attending a lecture given by veterinary behavior guru Dr. Karen Overall. Though Dr. Overall is clearly an expert in behavioral medicine, what truly struck me was her obvious love of dogs and commitment to strengthening the relationship we have with our pets.

Pet owners often become very nervous when I recommend a procedure that requires general anesthesia, be it a dental cleaning or removal of a mass. Though anesthesia can seem scary, at Friendship we make it as safe as possible. We take special care to ensure we are providing our patients the gold standard of care. I am very proud of our anesthetic protocols. If your pet needs surgery, but you're not able to come to Friendship, please use the following as a benchmark for state-of-the-art care.
