Pet Talk Newsletter :: August 2007Tenaker Pet Care Center is proud to now offer you Pet Talk. Pet Talk is a monthly digital newsletter that is full of entertaining, interesting, and valuable information from the staff of Tenaker Pet Care Center. One of our many sections is titled "Pet of the Month," where you may even find a picture and biography of your own pet! Feline purring is a healing frequency
Domestic cats heal from broken bones faster than dogs and doctors think it is because of the purr. Studies have been done on the frequency of the cat's purr and the vibrations used to heal, such as those used in ultrasound therapy. A cat's purr is within the range of frequencies used to improve bone density and encourage healing. Purring was a mystery for a very long time. Recently researchers figured out that cats do not have an organ that creates purring, but rather it is a signal in the brain that makes the diaphragm and larynx work together in to create a special vibration. Anatomically humans have a diaphragm and a larynx, but we are missing the special intermittent signal from the brain that creates the purr. Pumas, cheetahs, ocelots, and servals are known to purr. Large cats such as lions, leopards, and tigers can only purr while exhaling, unlike domesticated cats who can purr continuously. Many experts think that large cats cannot purr continuously because they possess the capability to roar. Mile High American Red Cross offers an invaluable class
Did you know, your cat or dog's heart is closest to their left side? The class shows you how to take your pets pulse and what the standard heartbeat rates for dogs and cats. Just like a human you can feel on their wrist or the inside of their leg, you can also feel on for a pulse at the spot where their elbow touches their chest. Students practice finding a pulse and performing rescue breathing (mouth to snout resuscitation) and CPR on stuffed dogs and cats with plastic lungs and mouthpieces. (Remember Resusci-Annie?) Did you know, the best way to stop bleeding is with a pressure? The Red Cross does not teach tourniquet use anymore. Applying direct pressure to the wound is the best method to stop bleeding. The informative class comes with an indispensable paperback guidebook. Packed full of instructions, it is small enough to fit in a glove compartment or back pack. Pet first aid kits are for sale too at a modest price. The class is four hours and is usually taught at their 4th and Sherman location. They even have a boot camp Pet First Aid class for families in September. Check out the registration dates for August and September. Pet of the Month
Remond has been coming to Tenaker Pet Care doggie day care for about a year. He is a two-year old, Fox Red Labrador retriever. The Fox Red Labrador is actutally a very dark yellow lab, which is a rare color for this breed. Remond is very, very smart and insists on getting three treats before he leaves doggie day care for the day. Not one, not two, not four, but three and you can see it in his face if he doesn't get that third treat before he is ushered out the door. Not only does Remond like to count, but he likes the ladies too. You could say that Redmond is a real Romeo. Of course he loves all the male staff at Tenaker, but there is no doubt that he prefers the girls. When it comes to other dogs, Redmond thinks he is king of the pack.

Purring is good for what ails ya. Most of us are drawn to a purring cat. The sound usually means the cat is content and open to being lavished with affection. Some cats purr so loudly they can be heard from a distance, while others are barely audible. The sound has been proven to create contentment in humans beings as well. While purring is associated with contentment, cats purr when they are injured, sick, frightened, and anxious too. Female cats are known to purr while giving birth. 
Pet First Aid -- The Mile High Chapter of American Red Cross offers a practical, informative, and inexpensive pet first aid class. The class is surprisingly similar to the first aid class offered for humans. Some of the topics covered include, rescue breathing, cardiovascular pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), care for burns, how to treat an impalement, poisoning, drowning, broken bones, the Heimlich Maneuver, and more.
