Saturday, December 11th, 2010

You know that you have lived a good life when most people thing that your ideas are right down crazy…

The good news is that wild and crazy is what fills our heart with love and joy.

My crazy idea was to take my dog to Paris, fly him 1st class and do it  for free. YES, I did it.

PS:  Some of you have asked  me how I  got  Skai on the plane.  Here is the story. Just copy and paste this link in your browser:

Wondering what is missing in your pet’s diet?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Have you ever wondered if there is something missing in your animal friend’s diet?

How about minerals? How can you insure that your dog or cat is getting all the important nutrients needed for good health and longevity? Essential minerals are not always present in sufficient amounts, especially if your pet’s diet is limited to a few ingredients.  Even if you feed a variety of foods, intensive agriculture and soil depletion can lead to serious health problems unnecessary suffering and expensive vet bills.

What can you do? (more…)

Traveling? Do not put your dog in a canine prison.

Important tips:

  • Get a reliable friend and a reputable house sitter to look after your pets.
  • Ask people and get references
  • Use boarding kennels as the last resort
  • Do not board at a veterinary clinic. Sick and healthy animals do not belong together.
  • The latest trends are home like or farm boarding facilities. These may be a good alternative for a social dog but a less social or frightened dog may go through the ringer.
  • Look for a quiet, clean and well run “free range” boarding facility as opposed to cages and pens.
  • Many dogs get very stressed and spend all day barking and clawing at the door.
  • If you are planning your holiday and can travel by car, take Fido along.
  • Sheba may prefer stay ing at home unless you live with the rare cat that likes to travel.
  • If you need to fly, register at Flying Dog Club and tell your friends. ·

One of the Flying Dog Club’s mission is humane and safe travel for our animal friends. Another very important mission is to do all we can to make the world a better, safer place for animals.

Register to stay informed. Share your ideas and suggestions with others at  our online meetings.

Together, we can make the world a better place for animals.

Healthy Dogs Euthanized at Veterinary Board Exams

Has it ever happened to you that moments from the past suddenly return?

Perhaps they reappear because we grow into finding a solution to take the right action that we couldn’t take before.

Generally, I believe that we can influence the world in a more beneficial way if we focus on the positive side of life. Today, I have decided to open the trunk of suppressed memories

One “jerk” can cause a lot of damage

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

There are two main reasons why Flying Dog Club was born. First, to advocate human and respectful air travel for dogs. Second, to be the voice for the speechless and often helpless animals.

Before you start reading the following lines, I invite you to do a little test. Open your hands keeping your thumbs together. Place the thumbs at the base of the throat and the fingers surrounding the neck. Now, take a deep breath, squeeze and pull back with all your force keeping your thumbs connected.

If you have not fainted by now and are still reading these lines, I am sure the sensation was not comfortable. Perhaps you never thought of it but this is how many dogs feel when they are on the leash.

If you are still keen to continue with this experiment, put a choke chain around your neck and attach it to a leash. Ask a friend to grab the end of the leash and pull and jerk on it periodically. Welcome to the dog world! No, I will not make you go on with this experiment and ask you to test another torture device, the prong collar.I just (more…)
