Summer cool-down treats
(note: feed outside!)

Chicken cubes:
Pour low-sodium chicken stock into an ice
cube tray and freeze.
Easy & tasty!  

Doggy popsicles:
Combine low-sodium chicken broth, cooked
ground beef or chicken, and brown rice. Then
pour the mixture into popsicle molds or an ice
cube tray depending on the size of your dog.
Refreshing!
A&B English Setter Rescue is run entirely by volunteers.  Every
single volunteer has his or her own special way of contributing to
the rescue efforts, which in the end add up to many, many happily
wagging tails!!!

Reminder:
To all A & B Adopters
This rescue cares about our dogs from the day we hear about them needing
help until their last day on this earth.  Because we care, we expect every
adopter to call us immediately to let us know if their English Setter has
escaped their clutches.  We can and want to help -- you're not bothering us!

As a part of the A & B Family, it is your responsibility to make the phone call
to someone on the contacts page and to send us an e-mail if you have a
computer.  We can help bring your dog back home.  In most cases, with A &
B's help, our English Setters have been back in their homes within 30
minutes.  When a dog is lost, time is of the essence!  Please make a copy of
the contacts page and tack it onto your fridge.   
Setters know how to
stay cool ... and in tune
with their instincts !!

Beware of Heat Exhaustion!

Dogs can quickly overheat not only during exercise, but also in a car or even in
an unshaded backyard.

Important do's:
- keep plenty of fresh water available at all times.
- make sure your dog is always in a well ventilated area and that he has access
to shade.

Signs of heat exhaustion:
- excessive panting
- cloudy eyes
- white/gray gums
- swollen tongue

If you see these signs, provide shade and ventilation immediately.  Offer your
dog ice chips or small amounts of water, apply cool water or compresses on ears
and abdomen.
