LIVESTOCK guardian dogs are part of a suite of wild dog management tools — including trapping, baiting, shooting, exclusion fencing, camera trap monitoring ...

Dr Kreplins said a trapping program on the property around the Maremma and sheep paddocks was integral to the success of the enterprise. “They are acting as a non-lethal tool by spending time with the sheep and as a lethal tool by actively taking on dingoes,” Dr Kreplins said. “When the ewes go off to give birth, the Maremmas struggle about whether to go off with the individual sheep or stay with their flock.” “One of the main things we are trying to prove is if the Maremmas are staying with the sheep, if they are pushing dingoes into other areas, do they kill the dingoes or displace them.” “We continue to bait and trap the rest of the station to keep wild dog numbers down so we can start rotating sheep through the paddocks once more exclusion fencing is completed.” “Last year we ended up with a lambing marking of 65 percent and lost five percent of the ewes inside the exclusion cell – we were heartened by the result,” she said.

Wild dogs in the outback and pastoral districts will be better managed under a new million-dollar-plus agreement between the state government and Meat and ...

I have more than 45 years' experience in newspapers and digital platforms. The scheme, now bolstered by the latest investment, helps landholders affected by wild dogs and is a gesture of support to the livestock industry. The program builds on work by the federal and state governments and the sheep industry to reduce the impact of wild dogs. "The investment aims to deliver an 80 per cent reduction in wild dog activity within the project area, resulting in 80 per cent of project participants having productivity benefits. "The activities are part of the board's and government's broader wild dog management efforts, including a 10-year program to eradicate wild dogs inside the Dog Fence." "Actions in the past few years to reduce wild dog impacts mean SA is now leading the nation in wild dog control."

Celine Halioua's company, Loyal, is getting ready to enter clinical trials for its new canine drug. Her goal? To give you more healthy, happy years with ...

We’re not a Boston biotech company,” she laughs, continuing on to say “It’s actually a very kind of old school Silicon Valley thing to bet on a big technical problem, and I think that has gotten lost over the last few years, but I don’t think Loyal could have started anywhere else.” A part of the reason for this is the inbreeding that created and domesticated dogs in the first place, she says. In theory, it could add years of healthy life to a dog. The design of the study is relatively straightforward, says Karen Greenwood, senior vice president of regulatory and strategy for the company. But the two drugs that Loyal is working on aren’t aimed at disease but rather longevity–helping dogs live longer. My core goal in life is to get the first drug approved.”

Phil James transforms work using his drone to find lost dogs into a full-fledged charity, reuniting 1400 stranded pets with their owners.

He once hastily negotiated a waiver to fly his drone in the no-flight zone around the Nottingham City airport when it turned out a lost dog he was after had last been spotted there. She adored dogs as much as I do and knew the powerful benefit they bring to people emotionally.” Soldiering on through prolonged, often frustrating searches like that one is not the only kind of determination James has relied on in seeing his missions through. Since he began using his UAV to locate lost dogs in 2021, so many individuals offered to pitch in that he decided to start a Whatsapp group to permit faster organization deployment of people to search areas. He also notes his hope to eventually raise enough funds to supply each county in England with a thermal sensor-equipped drone like the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise he uses. Cut to March 2023, and James’s aerial efforts have increased that joyful total to nearly 1,400.

Due to the range in severity, we always suggest having your dog’s growth assessed by a vet. In the meantime while you wait for your dog’s vet appointment, there are a few things you can monitor on your own at home! Unfortunately, in addition to being the most common skin cancer in dogs, they are also one of the most dangerous. These tumors can develop in furry friends of all kinds, but they are most common in dogs over the age of 8. A granuloma in dogs often appears as a small red lump on the surface of the dog’s skin. These tumors are known for causing pain in the affected area, and even causing lameness when they appear on the leg. Some abscesses lead to a pronounced growth on the surface of the skin, while others spread across a larger region of the body and are less obvious. Skin tags are typically only a cosmetic issue, and they rarely lead to complications for the dog affected. While we do not suggest assuming the worst of your dog’s skin growth, we do always suggest having it assessed by your veterinarian in a timely manner. For this reason, they most often develop skin tags on their neck near their collar, where their skin touches the floor when resting, in their armpits where their skin rubs together, and occasionally on the elbows. This is why we always suggest having the lump assessed by your trusted veterinarian, as they can properly identify the growth and let you know if it will impact your pup’s health. Before we discuss the most common growths seen in dogs, we should first answer the question of whether or not you should worry about your dog’s new lump or bump.

This essential oil should be limited in a home where dogs are, as it can cause irritation to their nasal passages and even cause a burning sensation in their eyes. Many dogs are repelled by the smell of coffee, especially if it is strong. The nostalgic smell of your grandparent’s house might be due to mothballs. Smoking tobacco indoors or near your dog allows the smell and nicotine to stick to different areas of the house and even your dog’s fur. A few whiffs of acetone can have your dog sneezing and trying to leave the area of the smell. In addition, Citronella is toxic and a dermis and gastrointestinal irritant to dogs. The smell is unappealing to dogs regardless of the source. Their sense of smell is so advanced that they even have a vomeronasal organ on the roof of their mouths that enables them to sense things they cannot see. So while the scent is linked to a minty fresh breath, it probably isn’t something your dog likes to smell. You might find that you and your dog might share the same hate for certain smells, such as the harsh smell of pepper or the burning sensation of acetone. The fresh lemony or orange scent may make your home smell fresh and welcoming, but many dogs find it irritating to their noses. The smell of citrus itself doesn’t seem harmful to dogs, but it can be dangerous if your dog ingests citrus fruits.
