Keeping your dog’s teeth clean
My little podenca Bebe came with very bad teeth and now my aged galga Carmela is showing signs of teeth deterioration. Not surprising when they are 17 and 15 years respectively! I use dentastix when they have had their meals but here’s an article with some other suggestions. It mentions raw bones – marrow bones. For decades we always gave our dogs marrow bones until some years ago my Swedish Valhund Pepsi broke a piece off and got it stuck in her throat. So no more marrow bones! Besides, I am sure the two male galgos would fight!
What do any of you use for keeping your dog’s teeth healthy?

Fern’s Law: Compulsory to scan & check microchips to reunite stolen dogs, cats
Many missing microchipped pets are never reunited as it’s optional to scan & check microchip registration. It’s time veterinary professionals, authorities and rescues checked pet & keeper match on the original database at a pets 1st consultation or yearly checkup. It’s their only chance to get home
Vets can play a valuable role in reuniting missing microchipped pets. We have microchipped our pets with the expectation to be reunited if the worst happens and they are lost or stolen. If just one organisation is not committed to scan and check microchip registration the whole system fails and is not fit for purpose. Legislation is needed to replace half hearted ‘strengthened, best practice recommendations’ VetsGetScanning.co.uk

Refugio Kimba – there for the animals in Spain since 1872
As those of you know who have a copy of my book From Heaven to Hell, Refugio Kimba was the first Protectora societies in Spain.‘OUR HISTORY
The Protective Society of Animals and Plants of Cádiz, better known as “Kimba Shelter”, was founded in 1872 and is therefore the oldest Animal Protective in Spain.
Although in its origins the protection of the plants was mainly its exclusive purpose, finally and in 1966 the refuge was created that would house the abandoned animals.
Since then the work that has been developing this Protective, includes different paths but always aimed at the same purpose. The defense and protection of animals.’
They have many galgos and podencos waiting for adoption, check them out on this weblink.
And they are always happy to see volunteers, complete the application form on this weblink. The shelters are in Cadiz and Chiclana in southern Spain.

Coronovirus – travel from Europe to the US
From Bev Farmer 12 3 2020In the early hours a press release was made announcing suspension of travel from European countries to the USA for 30 days. This has been amended that this does not include US Citizens (go figure) .. however it will impact on dogs traveling out there and with so-much uncertainty SHUG have decided to postpone flights which has a knock on effect on us here in Spain. Crystal in the photo is due to fly to Canada in a few days so we are waiting to see if Canada will impose similar restrictions.
