For our adopters, we tried an easily available Shampoo and loved it!
Dermagic shampoo bars are organic.  We tested today and got a thumbs up!
We tried the Rosemary and Lavender, no particular reason why that one.
You can look at their site.  www.DERMagic.com
We ordered ours on Amazon.  We found them because of their skin rescue lotion, which is great for dogs with skin conditions.

If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your dog. While many dogs are able to withstand cold temperatures better than humans, dogs are still at risk for frostbite and hypothermia. In Minnesota, a wind chill advisory is issued when the combined temperature and wind reach -25°. At this temperature, exposed skin freezes within 10 to 30 minutes. When it gets this cold, skip the walk and make sure outdoor potty breaks are efficient. Play games indoors, teach a new trick, practice obedience training or occupy your dog with a puzzle toy to exercise his mind, or train him to walk or jog on a treadmill if you have one.





Protect paws from salt. The salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pet's feet. Wipe all paws with a damp towel before your pet licks them

Kennel Cough Vaccine?

If you own a dog - you have likely been "required" to vaccinate her for Kennel Cough. It's a vaccination commonly required by boarding kennels and veterinary hospitals. These vaccinations are delivered to a staggeringly large percentage of dogs and the reason is not to protect your dog: the reason is to protect these facilities against liability.

...The truth is, the vaccines are not only ineffective but they are far from safe. Yet they are routinely given to combat a self limiting disease that amounts to as much danger to your dog as the common cold does to you." Read more: http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/bordatella-vaccination-dogs/
