Radio Pet Vet is on location this week at O.K. Feed & Supply, a local Tucson store and longtime sponsor of our show. Dr. Randy and Paul, dog trainer, promote adoption as the best option for obtaining a new pet and how summer is a great time to find your forever friend. A listener asks Dr. Randy a question regarding the story circulating in the news and online concerning ice cubes & ice water being hazardous to dogs, causing bloat. Dr. Randy agrees with the experts that ice cubes/ice water did not cause the problem. Gastric dilatation, bloat, and torsion is a function of animals eating mostly dry food, then ingesting large amount of water at a time, and then being active. While on location, Dr. Randy is joined by Grace Jordan, store manager, and Kat, representative for Stella & Chewy’s – natural goodness for dogs and cats. Also, Dr. Randy discusses the benefits of frozen marrow bones for dental health in our dogs and the importance of proactively protecting our pets from dental disease.
