Just a friendly reminder to be very careful when traveling or running errands with your furry friend this time of year!
Even with the temps in the 70′s the inside of a car can get over 100 degrees very quickly…even with the windows cracked!

Did you know that it can cost between $750-$1000 to treat your dog for heartworm…if they live? The cost to treat ONCE is typically more then it costs to prevent year-round for LIFE!
Check out Heartgard’s website for great information, coupons and also an App you can download for reminders!

It’s that time of year again! Time for the annual Walk for the Animals to raise funds for the animals at Prairie’s Edge Humane Society. This is our 26th year for the walk. This year’s walk will be held on Saturday, May 4th at Shager Park west of Faribault on Hwy 60 along Cannon Lake. We will be walking the bike path along the lake. Come join the fun, bring your friendly, leashed pet and the whole family for a fun morning walk. There will be prizes for the top fundraisers, t-shirts for anyone who raises at least $50 (while supplies last), snacks for the walkers, pet goodie bags and vendors.
The walk is one of the largest fundraising events of the year for Prairie’s Edge Humane Society. Proceeds will be used to help the homeless animals and fund our programs. We are looking forward to seeing you and your pet! The walk will take place rain or shine so dress for the weather. All walkers should register at the pavilion at Shager Park. Choose a distance to walk. One-half, one, two or three mile options will be available. After completing the walk, the trail will bring participants back to the pavilion for snacks, pet goodies and prizes. You should begin your walk between 9:30 -10:00 AM, the walk will end at noon so start early enough to finish by that time. All walkers under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All pets must be up to date on their vaccinations.
Please visit PEHS’s website at www.prairiesedgehs.org to download a Walk brochure or pledge form. If you have questions, please call 507-334-7117

That’s right. It’s that time of year. Time to pick up the poop!
Please come out and help us keep our dog park clean.
When: Saturday, April 27th
Start time: 8am
Where: The Dundas Dog Park
Please leave your pup at home and wear appropriate clothes.
Gloves, trash bags, hand sanitizer and a search grid will all be provided.
If we finish early enough, we may go to the Northfield Dog Park as well.
Here are a few facts:
1) Dog Poop is NOT Fertilizer!
Dog poop in particular is not fertilizer like cow manure. Contrary to popular opinion not all poop is created equal. Dog’s have a high protein based diet that creates a very acidic excrement or waste product. Far more info than you ever wanted to know about your favorite furry friend’s business, right? But, it’s true. Cow manure is in fact good for vegitation because it in fact started out that way. Dog’s diets are very different. Most dog foods today are composed of beef, chicken and/or pork products. This creates a high acidic waste product that is bad for your grass and can leave your back yard looking like, well, not looking like much of a yard at all.
2) Dog are a very signifcant host of bacteria that is harmful to humans
One gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria. Dog waste can spread giardia and salmonella as well.
3) Not picking up after your dog may be illegal
Most metropolitan areas have impossed fines, some cities up to $750 if you don’t pick up after your dog in a public place. Many cities are looking into legislation that will apply to private property as well because of its impact on the enviorment.
4) Parasites form dog waste can be passed on to childern, other dogs, and even themselves
Some of the possible ways a dog or cat can obtain various different parasities, viruses and stages of bacteria from their own poop include: rolling in their feces, pawing at it, and in rare instances even eating it-coprophagy. Some alments that can affect humas are: Parvo Virus, Trichinosis, Whipworms, Hookworms, Roundworms, Giardia and Coccidia.
5) One pile of pet waste can take a year or more to fully breakdown.
