"About two years ago, my German
Wirehair named Sage developed a
skin condition consisting of raised
eruptions that would scab over,
and then slough off. this was
accompanied by some itching.
After multiple vet visits and no
solutions that worked, including
shots and topical creams, I came
across your Itchy Dog product. I
figured it couldn't hurt to try and
within 4 weeks, my dog was
virtually free of eruptions and had
quit itching. Thanks again for your
wonderful product."

January 2012 Training Tip

 

Greetings from the International Sportsman’s Expo in Denver, Colorado! The show runs from January 5th through the 8th. Stop by if you are in the area. We would love to meet you. This year old article about preparing your dog for cold weather conditions is well worth repeating.   

 

Wow, where did the time go! We are getting towards the end of this years upland hunting season. We make every effort to crowd in those last hunts, because we know it will be another several months before we can go afield again for wild birds. Of course, we can go to our favorite hunt or dog club and extend the season on pen raised birds. However, nothing satisfies like hunting wild birds.

 

Now you may be asking, “What is he getting at?” The purpose of this article is to prepare your dog for cold weather hunts. Dogs may burn up to twice as many calories hunting in very cold conditions, say 10 degrees F. Let's throw in some wind and snow. Now you have perfect conditions for your dog to easily develop hypothermia. Here are a few tips that can help:

 

1. Make sure your dog is well hydrated. Many dogs “turn their nose up” when offered water in the field. I add a little beef or chicken broth crystals to the water to give it flavor. Also, have a squirt bottle or folding cup with you, in your vest. Pause every 15 – 20 minutes and force them to drink a few ounces. Cold air is very dry. When dogs breathe heavily, they expel moisture from their system much quicker than in 40 to 50 degree weather.

2. Rest your dog more often. Take a break to enjoy all the aspects of the hunt. Your dogs legs, and yours too, will welcome a rest.

3. Increase the amount of food you give your dog during the hunting season. They are burning twice the calories than during the off season. Also, add water to the food during the hunting season. I make the dry food “slurpy” to ensure hydration.

4. Get your dog on a dietary supplement, such as our “Hunt Dog Hunt” formula. It contains antioxidants which will reduce fatigue and give your dog more energy in the field.

5. Carry some packaged “burger” foods in your vest. This provides a high energy snack along with some moisture. About 1/3 of a package three times during the day should suffice.

6. Put a chest protector on your dog. Their chests and tummies are in almost constant contact with snow which exposes the skin to extreme cold. Their undersides, especially shorthaired pointing breeds, have much less hair for protection. Also, hard crusty snow can actually cut your dog’s skin. This leads to another tip.

7. Dog Boots! Your dog has hair between its pads. This is especially true for the longer haired breeds. Ice can build up between the pads causing your dog to either stop and chew or to quit hunting altogether.

8. Last, but surely not least. Make sure your travel kennel is equipped with an insulation cover. This especially holds true if your dog travels in the exposed bed of a pick up. Even if your truck has a topper unit, an insulated cover on the travel kennel will protect your dog from windy drafts that come during travel at higher speeds.

 

May you all enjoy the last 30 days of the season. You will have less competition on public access areas. Land owners are more apt to grant permission to hardy souls willing to brave the elements of late season hunting.

 

Stop by again next month for another training tip.

ZoomDog® is designed to meet the unique needs of upland bird and waterfowl dogs. We hunt. We work with dogs. We know their needs.

 

Your gun dog has special needs that other dogs don’t have. You need products designed for these special needs, not just any dog. We realize the special bond you have to your dog. They are active for longer periods of time, under often harsh conditions. They are in and out of kennels, constantly moving, sitting patiently in cold conditions, working through heavy cover, in and out of cold and other situations that most dogs never experience.

 

They need special ingredients to keep them strong, support their endurance and keep their joints flexible, allowing them to hunt for extended years. All that work, wear and tear on their joints means they need special nutrients to keep them hunting stronger and longer. Their skin and coats need to be healthy to keep them warm and healthy throughout hunting season, and year round. Your gun dog isn’t just a good hunting buddy, they are also an investment in time, money and affection. Keep them in peak condition and you’ll enjoy many more years of successful hunting with your special dog.

 

 

If your gun dog is showing any of these signs, you need to check out Hunt Dog Hunt™ Performance Formula with antioxidants and joint strength nutrients.
