Beginning in 2010, every Tuesday evening, 7-8:30 pm, Lucy Bailey CPDT of Dogs Unleashed will be at Kingsbury Animal Hospital to offer her expertise about your dog's behavior/training.  The sessions are limited to 6 dogs per night for a fee of $25. However existing Kingsbury clients can enjoy these classes free of charge.  You may bring your puppy, adult or adolescent dog for some advice about training as well as any specific training issues you'd like her to address.  We will not be able to work with aggressive dogs in this setting. If you have concerns about your aggressive dog we can set up an individual consultation with Dr. Brammeier.  Please call us at 721-6251 to register for these informative sessions.

Heat stroke is a condition arising  from extremely high body temperature (rectal temperature of 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit).  In normal dogs, the skin is the organ that dissipates heat from the body. In addition, panting allows evaporation of water from the respiratory tract and is an effective method of heat dissipation. When these mechanisms are overwhelmed, hyperthermia and heat stroke usually develop. At temperatures greater than 109 F, failure of vital organs, and consequently death, can occur.
