Plaque and tartar can accumulate on dog’s teeth and gums leading to serious gum disease. In order to prevent this you should brush your dog’s teeth and take him/her to routine dental cleanings with a veterinarian twice a year. Ideally, dog’s teeth should be brushed daily, however, this can be challenging if your dog is not used to the process. If you do not have the time to brush your dog’s teeth daily you can try to do it every other day or weekly depending on your schedule.
Tooth brushing should be initiated at a young age to allow your dog to become used to oral care. Before a toothbrush is introduced, the puppy or kitten should be given gum massages so they have the experience of the mouth being manipulated. It is important that you use toothpaste specially created for dogs because human toothpastes may cause stomach upset in dogs. [continue reading…]

Walking your dog is so much more than just providing him a time and place to do his business. Your dog has a primal need for exercise and activity! When dogs don’t get adequate exercise they, much like humans, can suffer health problems. Here we’ll discuss some of the top reasons that regular walking and exercise benefits your pooch. Keep in mind that giving your dog the recommended amount of daily exercise doesn’t have to be done exclusively by you. If time constraints keep you from exercising your pup as much as you’d like, consider having your dog walked by a professional dog walking or dog sitting service.
General Health & Weight Management
This one is a no brainer. Exercise keeps your dog’s body in good shape and helps to regulate his weight. Excessive body weight affects dogs in various ways, from joint problems to cardiovascular issues. Regular dog walking helps your pup to avoid these issues and keeps his body agile and running smoothly.

Name: Jay

Breed: Beagle/Terrier mix
Hi! I’m Jay. I am 5 years old and I look like a Beagle/Terrier mix. I am quite active and I’m a happy boy who loves everyone. I like to play catch and I love laps! I know “sit”, “paw”, “drop it” and “come”. I enjoy overnights with volunteers (and their dogs!)
Check out my new BFF, Gloria, in the photos with me (there are more pictures at www.monmouthcountyspca.org). We are good buddies! I love car rides and I’m a good co-pilot when you’re driving. When I’m done playing, I just curl up and snooze. I’m a good boy! Oh, and I love kids, too!

Name: Bishop
Age: 10 months old
Sex: Male
Hello, my name is Bishop! I am 10 months old and my owner could no longer care for me. I am very energetic and want an active home to call my own. I am sweet, fun, and playful. I am a big mush who loves laps, and I give lots of hugs and kisses. I am proud to say that I know “sit” and of course I will “come” for treats!
I love to go on outings with my friends. I’m great in the car, and very well-behaved wherever I go. I like going to Marine Park, and to people’s homes – just ANYWHERE with my friends!

Name: Bo
Age: 1 year old
Sex: Male
Breed: Terrier mix
Hi, there! I’m Bo! I am about one year old, and I’m a Terrier mix. My owner could no longer care for me, so I’m looking for a new family to love. I am quite energetic, so I’d be happiest in an active home. Are you the family for me? I weigh 56 lbs. I like to play fetch and tug, and once I’ve played some, I can be pretty laid-back. I know “sit”, “down”, “stay”, and “come”, and will give my “paw”. I lean against people, just so they know I’m around!

Hi, I’m Morgan ! I am 11 months old and I look like a Hound mix of some sort. I am rather petite and oh-so-handsome! I was running around as a stray and I was lucky to come to the Monmouth County SPCA. I am in a foster home, where I am doing great and getting lots of extra TLC! I’m such a good boy and very smart too! I know “sit” and am working on some other commands. I have plenty of energy! I play with the other dogs in my foster home and I love my foster mom. I would prefer to find a new home with other dogs, because it would be easier for me to follow their lead. Call first if you’d like to meet me!

Name: Sizzles
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Male
Breed: ?
Hi, I’m Sizzles! I am a petite little guy who originally came all the way from Italy. I am 3 years old, and my owner was deployed so I need a new home. I am a smart boy and I’ve made a lot of progress here learning my commands. I know “sit”, “down”, “stay”, and “come” already! I can be shy at first, so I need a calm and quiet environment where I can bond with my human companions. Once I warm up and feel comfortable, I am a nice companion dog. I am great with other dogs and cats too!
