Still to come this morning right here on cbs3 Eyewitness News, this pet, and a few others need a good home, maybe yours, animal advocate Carroll Erickson introduces us to this one or more of them in this mornings pet project when Eyewitness News for years, fios has been promising fast internet to Small Businesses. But for many businesses, its out of reach. Why promise something you cant deliver . Comcast business is different. We deliver superfast internet with speeds of 150 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than fios. We do business where you do business. Back with the cbs3 pet project, Carroll Erickson animal advocate with the pennsylvania spca is here, carroll, good morning, youve got a diva with you. I do, this is diva. We will talk about her in a little bit but you know, despite weather today which is , really way too cold and just the storm that justins talking about coming up we will talk about spring, because with the clock change and all that we are starting to head into that season. Lets dispel some of the myths out there i want to show you full screen graphic right now. Here they are that we will talk b dogs eat grass to get sick. Pets need regular bats. Dogs age at same rate. Flee as live in the spring. Pets own grow one coat. I think pet owners, the very top one is the one you are probably most interested in. Umhmm. I thought it was true. If you google that youll find millions of articles on it but they have done one good study out of uc dave is in 2008. They found out that dogs are not eating grass to get sick, or some diet reason they are eating that grass possibly as a hold over from the ancestors , dogs wild ancestors , back in the day, the wolves, when they needed that grass to kind of help themselves through that whatever they were encountering out there in the wild, at that point, worms that sort of thing but it actually is not to get sick. Is there sols feeling and i can just anecdotally tell you my dogs eat grass, they dont sick. They seem like like the taste it is common, normal and in fact more than 68 percent of dog owners report that their dogs eat grass on a daily weekly basis. If grass is sprayed or that sort of thing dont let them eat that but if you know it is something, you know, many vets were taught in school it was too make themselves sick. If the dog ate enough of it they could do that. Study show it wasnt from trying to make themselves sick everything in moderation. That is right. The other one is bats, people think we have to give our dog a bath all the time. They do not neat a bath. Their furies designed to do without. Owner may say he rolled in something i want to give you a bath. People shampoo are too harsh, use vet products only, and the advice is rinse, rinse, rinse and when you think you have rinsed enough keep rinsing because any of that soap that is left behind on their skin can be a real problem, for them. Absolutely. They they dont need a bath if you dont want to do it. We all hear about that age seven years, it is not. It is, for medium sized dog from 20 to 50pound but for dogs less that 20pound edge at five and a half to six years, and then dogs over 90 pound will age at an pace of eight years. So, that is why these little dogs seem to live longer and larger dogs unfortunately do not live as long. Seven year ratio pretty standard 20 to 50pound. Other thing, up on the list that we want to talk about flee as live in the spring. Actually flees can be in your heated house, throughout the winter. So they are ready to go. But also they do like heat and humidity so they will come out increasingly in the spring. Make sure there is proper vet treatment for. That dont want to double on that, there is a flee and a collar and topical. You dont and it can be very dangerous to their pet. Handle the flee things, but get your advice from the vet on. That also dogs environment you will find more flees and tics heading out to a dog park, just dont skip fun, just make sure your petties prepared for all that, activity. You are acting like a sweet angel. Other one that i want to talk about is pets own grow one coat . No, you may notice shedding now it is not just loosening up their winter coat but they are growing a whole new spring coat. So it is shorter, lighter and youll find them shed that out as we head into the wintertime again it just makes sense. Yes, exactly. So, just want todd call your attention to that.
