The following links summarize the basics you need for giving first aid care to your pet.Always remember that any first aid administered to your pet should be followed by immediate veterinary care. First aid care is not a substitute for veterinary care, but it may save your pet's life until it receives veterinary treatment.First aid suppliesOur handy checklist tells you all the supplies you should have on hand for pet first aid. Print out a copy to use for shopping, and keep a copy on your refrigerator or next to the first aid kit for your family, for quick reference in emergencies.How to handle an injured petKnowing how to comfort an injured pet can help minimize your pet's anxiety and also protect you and your family from injury.Basic pet first aid proceduresRead our simple instructions for providing emergency first aid if your pet is suffering from poisoning, seizures, broken bones, bleeding, burns, shock, heatstroke, choking or other urgent medical problems.

Hello Pups and Kittens and welcome back to The Groomer Next Door. This week we sit down to break down the Purina Beneful class action lawsuit.Episode 68 Show Notes

The lawsuit lists stomach and related internal bleeding, liver malfunction or failure, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, weight loss, seizures, bloat and kidney failure as symptoms consistently reported by dog-owners feeding their dogs Beneful, which is owned by Nestlé Purina Petcare Company.

Nestlé Purina Petcare Company for response to this suit. A spokesperson could not comment immediately.

What do I do if I want to join the class action suit?

If you feel you fit into this class action lawsuit against Nestlé Purina , you can call this toll free number for more information:

1-877-667-4265

What do I do if my dog is showing symptoms?

If you fear your dog is showing any signs of illness, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. There are a number of diseases that can lead to symptoms like those described in this lawsuit. Only your veterinarian can determine the cause of those symptoms and the right course of action.

What dog foods does the lawsuit say are dangerous for my dog?

The most recent lawsuit is a class action lawsuit concerning Purina Beneful’s “kibble” dry food varieties:

· “Purina Beneful Health Weight”

· “Purina Beneful Originals”

· “Purina Beneful Incredibites”

· “Purina Beneful Healthy Growth for Puppies”

· “Purina Beneful Healthy Smile”

· “Purina Beneful Health Fiesta”

· “Purina Beneful Healthy Radiance”

· “Purina Beneful Playful Life”

What symptoms should I be watching for?

The lawsuit lists the following symptoms, mostly digestive, as possibly connected to feeding a dog Beneful's “kibble” varieties:

· Vomiting

· Diarrhea

· Seizures

· Weight loss

· Dehydration

· Bloat

· Stomach and related internal bleeding

· Liver malfunction or failure

· Kidney malfunction or failure

What makes a dog food unhealthy or dangerous?

Pet food recalls are often a result of the presence of toxins within the food, whether its a toxic ingredient or an ingredient in which toxins can develop. The class action suit references mycotoxins, which are naturally-occuring toxic chemical by-products of fungi that can develop on corn or other grain ingredients often included in pet food.

Purina's commitment

"Satisfaction Guaranteed. If you're not happy, we're not happy. Complete satisfaction or your money back..."

"At Purina, we're unconditionally devoted to pets. We've dedicated over 80 years to developing the high-quality products that satisfy the needs of dogs and cats."

"100% Complete and Balanced Nutrition"

Yes, dogs can have it all -- and should! How? A special blend of wholesome ingredients, including grains, real beef, and accents of vitamin-rich veggies! It gives dogs the complete nutrition they need and a taste they love." (Beneful Original)

"Made with wholesome rice, real chicken, soy, and accented with veggies and apples, it has the complete nutrition adult dogs need..." (Beneful Healthy Weight)

"With real chicken, wholesome rice, and accents of vitamin-rich veggies, it has the complete nutrition puppies need..." (Beneful Healthy Growth for Puppies)

"When your puppy is grown, Beneful has so many delicious ways to help keep him healthy and happy." (Beneful Healthy Growth for Puppies

What is propylene glycol and why is it part of this lawsuit?

The lawsuit lists propylene glycol as the primary troubling ingredient in Beneful, saying the amount of the compound used in the dog food is toxic.

In fact, propylene glycol is an ingredient often found in many food products, used mainly as a preservative. The Food and Drug Administration classifies the compound as “generally recognized as safe” as a food additive for human and animal consumption.

It can be found in salad dressings, cake mixes, and store bought cookies, for example.

Propylene glycol is no stranger to food safety cases, though. Fireball Whisky was recalled in Finland, Sweden, and Norway last October for what some officials claimed were dangerous levels of the product in the whisky.

Welcome back Pups and Kittens, this week you get to join Chris & Sarah while on vacation. It's our 8th wedding anniversary and your sharing in the time while we're away.This week in light of fostering Sidney we are discussing "PET'S WITH DISABILITIES". A pet with disabilities is just as amazing to adopt as a pet thats healthy. Sometimes you'll find they are more amazing. And at the end of the show your all invited to listen in to Sarah and I at our wedding. That amazing women said yes 8 years ago, and it's been an amazing life spent together.

Hello you wonderful Pups and Kittens, and welcome back to The Groomer Next Door. Well Valentines day has come and passed. We hope you all had a great day whether with a two legged OR four legged friend. We have a fun show for you. We discussed matted dogs. We have a sweet story about a pup that traveled 20 blocks to a hospital where its owner was at. We have Caitlin from the Project Majority on the show. Are you aware of Project Majority? Heres what their about.There are millions of “pit bull” dog owners across the United Stateswho live peaceful, every day lives with their family pets. Families like these are the rule, not the exception. We are valued members of our communities and families. We are your co-workers, neighbors, and friends. We are the MAJORITY. Join Animal Farm Foundation as we shine a spotlight on the majority of "pit bull" dog owners - everyday people - and help us put an end to stereotypes and discrimination.ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATIONLOCATED IN DUTCHESS COUNTY NY, ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION HAS BEEN WORKING NATIONALLY TO SECURE EQUAL TREATMENT AND OPPORTUNITY FOR “PIT BULL” DOGS SINCE 1985.MISSION STATEMENTTo secure equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogs.OUR ORGANIZATIONAnimal Farm Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, has been rescuing and re-homing animals, as well as making grants to other humane organizations, since the mid-1980′s.We currently dedicate our resources to securing equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogs. Whether the dog is called a “pit bull” because of a documented pedigree, or merely on the basis of physical appearance, recognizing that these dogs are individuals for whom we are responsible is an integral step toward a compassionate future for all dogs.WHY “PIT BULL” DOGS?When we started rescuing and re-homing dogs, we focused on American Pit Bull Terriers. Over time, we realized that the dogs we were helping were not necessarily pure bred American Pit Bull Terriers, but dogs that people called “pit bulls.” “Pit bull” is not a breed or breed mix, but an ever expanding group that includes whatever an animal control officer, shelter worker, dog trainer, politician, dog owner, police officer or newspaper says it is.This opened our eyes to the dogs in front of us. These are the dogs that need our help.PROGRAMS AND SERVICESMakes grants to secure equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogsRescues, trains, re-homes “pit bull” dogs through our shelter.Provides consulting services for sheltering professionals on dog evaluation, training, enrichment, adoption strategies, public relations and communications.Offers no-cost, hands-on internships to shelter professionals and volunteers.Offers lectures and presentations at conferences, shelters, universities and community events.Hosts visitors of all ages and interests to meet our dogs and experience our mission firsthand.Maintains an extensive historical collection of advertising, art, photographs, books and magazines featuring “pit bull” dogs.Produces and distributes free positive-image materials that celebrate “pit bull” dogs.

Hello Pups and Kittens, and welcome back for another episode of The Groomer Next Door. This week we celebrate National Pet Oral Health Care Month with a guest that needs no introduction. He's the Co-Owner of Tropiclean (Derrik Kassebaums). We couldn't be happier to share his insight knowledge, and continued excellence in the oral care product.

 

If you've never heard of Tropiclean here's a bit about them.
