Rattlesnakes are coming out of hiding

It's rattlesnake time in SoCal. If your dogs are on trails or exposed to snake areas at times, i recommend the crotalus vaccine. ask your vet for more info. Even if your dog is vaccinated, a rattlesnake bite still needs medical attention. It just provides a better immune response and a better chance at survival.http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Clemente-CA/Mikes-Pet-Care/189572726193?ref=nf

Dog's sniffers

The olfactory bulb in dogs is roughly forty times bigger than the olfactory bulb in humans, relative to total brain size, with 125 to 220 million smell-sensitive receptors.[84] The bloodhound exceeds this standard with nearly 300 million receptors.[84] Dogs can discriminate odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. ref-wikipedia
