Strut Your Mutt | Bryant Dog Photography

This Saturday, April 27th is the SPCA’s annual event, Strut Your Mutt. This is a run or walk to raise money for the SPCA. There is also a vendor area with lots of vendors displaying their products. I will be there as I have for many years. The exhibit area is inside so even if it rains, you will be dry inside. The event is being held in Dallas at Fair Park and there is more information at Strut Your Mutt.

At Strut Your Mutt I will be selling some packs of Bow WOW assorted note cards to raise money for the SPCA Spay/neuter clinic. I hope you will stop for a visit and purchase some note cards to benefit the SPCA!

Bring your dog Saturday and join us in all of the fun!

The regal looking creature up above is Dolly,  the Great Dane.

 

Prevent Animal Cruelty Month | Bryant Dog Photography

April is not just Pet First Aid month, but it is also Prevent Animal Cruelty month. A month to bring people’s attention to the problem of animal cruelty and to teach people how to help do something to prevent it. The ASPCA has an excellent list of things you can do to help prevent animal cruelty. The list is the top 10 ways to prevent cruelty.

The photograph is of Molly, my dog, who was adopted many years ago after being rescued by DFW Sheltie Rescue. She was kind enough to let us dress her up in bandages!

If you made a difference in an animal’s life by rescuing it from a bad situation, comment below and tell us about it.

 

 

Pet First Aid Month | Bryant Dog Photography

April is pet first aid month. I thought it appropriate that the image for this week is of Burt, a wonderful Basset Hound mix. Burt was a most excellent “patient” on which many first aid and CPR demos were given. He and his mom helped many people learn how to give CPR to their dogs. Sadly, Burt passed not long ago, but his mom, Beth Bowers, still gives excellent CPR and first aid classes and can be reached at www.powertothepawz.com.

Pet first aid is different than human first aid. There are things that are poisonous to dogs that are fine for humans to eat. Chocolate, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, onions and garlic are but a few of the foods that are not good for dogs. Did you know about xylitol? It is a non-sugar sweetener used in a lot of gum, that if ingested by a dog, can quickly cause liver damage. It can be life threatening. So in celebration of pet first aid month, learn some first aid for your pet. Contact Beth for one of her wonderful classes, or read about pet first aid on the Web. Your pets will thank you!

Bow WOW Sessions | Bryant Dog Photography

Last Saturday we had a lot of fun photographing 10 dogs for the limited edition fund raiser. I’d like to thank Roxie, Tyler, Zoey, Duncan, Miss Willis, Bleu, Lilly, Ginger, JP and Hannah for a very successful day! This coming Saturday is part two of the spring Bow WOW Sessions when we will photograph another 13 dogs. It will be a busy day! We are on track to add over $2000 to the total money we have raised for the SPCA spay/neuter clinic!

 Pictured up above are Maddie and Cooper from a previous Bow WOW Session. Another round of Bow WOW Sessions will be done in the summer.  If you would like to participate, comment below and let me know that your dog would like to join in the fun!
