7 Adorable Wet Dogs Who Are So Over Bath Time

Photographer Sophie Gamand says she's always loved dogs but didn't know they would become her main subject. "It started by accident," she tells Yahoo Shine. "I had just moved to Brooklyn from Europe and was looking to shoot something in the neighborhood, when I walked into a vet clinic and this little dog peeked around the counter. His eyes were so expressive and worried." Now, three years later, obsessed with exploring the intense bond between humans and dogs, Gamand says that "dogs provide an endless supply of stories."  Her latest series, "Wet Dog," is her most popular so far. While some projects take more than a year, she snapped these photos of dogs being washed over one very long, very wet day in September, collaborating with Bronx-based groomer Ruben Santana, and posted them on her website earlier this month. "I was giggling the whole time behind the camera," she says.

How to Give Your Cat a Pill

I have many clients that struggle with pilling/medicating their cat.  Below is a video that shows several ways to medicate your furry feline.  Keep in mind the cat in the video is a super-star, and that it maybe a little harder at home.  But it provides good technique and ideas to make pilling easier.  One thing they don't stress, is putting the cat up on a counter or table is also helpful.  At the end they talk about compounded liquids and ointment that are rubbed in the ear.  These are great options; don't be afraid to ask your veterinarian, these options are often very affordable.

Annual Wellness Check-up

I want to pass along a great interactive site for everyone to check out.  It's called Partners for Healthy Pets.  It talks about the importance of yearly physical exams and uses great pictures to go through everything your veterinarian is looking at.  I know I sometimes fail when it comes to explaining to clients what I'm looking at/for during a physical exam and the importance of it.  This site has great pictures and goes through it step by step.  Enjoy!
