SafePet Ottawa fosters companion animals for women and their children<br />
who need to exit from domestic violence into the safety of local Violence<br />
Against Women (VAW) shelters.<br />
They are veterinary clinics, fosters, behaviourists and sometimes your<br />
next-door neighbour.<br />
In Ontario, 48% of women who should<br />
be exiting from situations of domestic<br />
violence delay leaving — or don’t<br />
leave at all. They are afraid to leave<br />
their companion animal(s) behind, lest<br />
it become their proxy at the hands of<br />
the batterer.<br />
SafePet Ottawa provides necessary veterinary intake and long- or<br />
short-term fostering for the duration of a woman’s stay in her shelter. Upon<br />
exiting a shelter, they reunite owners with their pets so that they can move<br />
into a better future together.<br />
Ottawa Pet Expo has chosen SafePet Ottawa as this year’s charity of<br />
choice. Join us at booth #302 and participate in our charity raffle.<br />

6 Creative Ways<br />
To Celebrate Your<br />
Dog’s Birthday!<br />
By Naomi Shaw<br />
They’re not only our best friend, they’re also a member<br />
of our family, and as such, they’re just as entitled to<br />
celebrate their birthday with us. While we certainly<br />
know better than to give them a chocolate cake, even<br />
cat’s have an adverse reaction to cocoa, so what else<br />
can we do to mark this milestone day for them?<br />
There’s always pet treats, giving them a gift of a new toy<br />
and animal-friendly cakes for them, but here’s six other,<br />
fun and more creative ways to celebrate the anniversary<br />
of your dog’s arrival on the planet:<br />
#1 – Play Date or Party<br />
Pet people often surround themselves with other animal<br />
lovers inside their social circles, so it only stands to<br />
reason that some of these acquaintances also have<br />
dogs that are friendly with our canine. Sounds like a<br />
great excuse for a pet-friendly party where we can all<br />
get together, two and four-legged guests included. Be<br />
sure to offer treats and activities for the dogs as well<br />
as humans. If partying isn’t your thing, think of having a<br />
playdate with their favorite four-legged friend.<br />
#2 – Road Trip<br />
The concept of a road trip has been movie fodder for<br />
decades and it’s also a delightful idea for your dog on<br />
their special day. Some dogs go crazy at the beach,<br />
others prefer a trip to the local dog park or may enjoy<br />
visiting an out of town relative. For example, my dog<br />
absolutely loves to going to see my mother who lives a<br />
couple hours from our home. Think of where they might<br />
want to go and take them on that road trip.<br />
#3 – Get a Portrait<br />
You remember the old saying (actually it was more<br />
like a bully’s taint), “Take a picture it lasts longer,” and<br />
you can mark this special day with a photo that will<br />
last throughout the ages. You don’t necessarily need<br />
to hire a professional photographer since we all have<br />
smartphones these days, but hiring a pro isn’t out of<br />
the question either and you can also be a part of the<br />
portrait. Don’t forget to post your photo on social media<br />
and watch the well wishes come pouring in from the<br />
internet.<br />
#4 – Pamper Your Pooch<br />
Whether you simply spend extra time with them or<br />
spring for something more extravagant like a therapeutic<br />
massage, they’ll certainly appreciate the extra attention.<br />
Think of their favorite activity, whether it’s a rigorous<br />
game of fetch or relaxing on the couch and watching a<br />
movie. Be sure to include whatever it is that they love<br />
the best on their special day.<br />
#5 – Learn To Cook For Them<br />
If you enjoy cooking, and all dogs love to eat, consider<br />
learning how to make homemade treats for them or<br />
feeding them meals prepared from your kitchen instead<br />
of purchased at the store. I think we can all safely agree<br />
these healthier eating choices will ensure our dog has<br />
many more birthdays with us in the future.<br />
#6 – Plant a Tree<br />
This is probably best for a dog’s first birthday when you<br />
can plant a tree and watch it grow along with them. Go<br />
for a larger one that will soon offer shade, perhaps bear<br />
some fruit and this can be a spot for the two of you to<br />
relax in the future.<br />
Even if you don’t know your dog’s birthday, you can<br />
still celebrate the day they came into your life. Some<br />
simply refer to it as an anniversary and others call it the<br />
“gotcha day.” Any of these are reasons to celebrate the<br />
life of your four-legged best friend.<br />

Best Pets for<br />
Allergy Sufferers<br />
By Patricia Willson<br />
Yes, there are actually pets that will reduce your allergy<br />
symptoms. Although, there isn’t a 100% guarantee that<br />
any animal will eliminate all allergy symptoms, less<br />
suffering can be achieved by following the advice below.<br />
More allergens are associated with long fur or larger<br />
breeds which naturally have more fur, so consider<br />
adopting small, short-haired animals as a way to<br />
minimize dander and other allergens. As for cats and<br />
rabbits, many allergens are in the saliva they clean<br />
themselves with; thus, short hair minimizes these<br />
allergens as well. It’s also helpful to know that female<br />
and light-colored cats secrete less allergens than male<br />
and dark-colored cats.<br />
There are allergy-friendly breeds you may consider<br />
adopting. For example, a Bichon Frisé dog and Rex<br />
rabbit don’t shed much, so this reduces dander. The<br />
Cornish and Devon Rex cat breeds do not clean as<br />
frequently and have almost no fur at all.<br />
Since gerbils and mice are in cages instead of running<br />
around the house, they are great pets for allergy<br />
sufferers. Reptiles don’t have fur, so they won’t have<br />
dander. Be sure to keep their aquatic cages clean,<br />
though, so mold issues don’t arise and trigger allergic<br />
reactions. Pigs have hair instead of fur so there are no<br />
dander issues.<br />
Birds release dander in their feathers and have allergens<br />
in their saliva and droppings. Routine cage and room<br />
cleaning, bathing the bird and air purifiers can reduce<br />
allergen production.<br />
Returning a pet isn’t fair to your family or the pet. Be sure<br />
you’ll be able to maintain its grooming and necessary<br />
habitat cleaning to reduce as much of the allergencausing<br />
matter as possible. Often simple measures<br />
such as using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter<br />
and frequent bathing and grooming of a pet will reduce<br />
dander in the fur that often trigger allergies.<br />
