A Cryptorchid Dog’s Neutering Journey

What is Cryptorchidism?

As you can tell, there is only one testicle in the picture.
  • Neutering will require your dog to be under general anaesthesia, and even though this is generally safe, there are still risks and complications to every surgery.
  • Neutering EARLY / at the wrong age / when your puppies’ hormones still have a role to play in his developing body can increase the risk of hip & joint issues. Your puppies’ hormones help them to develop their bones and joints properly. Therefore, puppies may be more vulnerable to hip dysplasia, torn ligaments and bone cancer if neutered at the wrong age.
  • Neutering increases the risk of obesity as the reduction in hormones will change the dog’s metabolism and hormonal make-up. Daily walks, exercise and monitoring their diet is extremely important to maintain a dog’s healthy weight after neutering.

  • Cryptorchid dogs are much more likely to develop testicular cancer in the undescended testicle. It is estimated to be at least 8-10 times more likely to develop cancer – according to our Vet.
  • Cryptorchid dogs have a risk of testicular torsion. Since the testicle is “freely moving” in his body instead of being secured at the right position (his scrotum), there is a chance where his undescended testicle can twist on itself or other surrounding organs – a super painful experience if it really happens.
  • Most dogs reach sexual maturity at 6-9 months. Generally, dogs reach full growth potential at 12-18 months. Hoshi is now at 16 months and I have noticed he stopped growing in size at around 10 months old. I decided to do it now and not at 18 months because this is my term break from school and I am able to take the time to hawkeye him after the surgery and really monitor him. Hence, we decided to do the procedure at this time when I have the time and I am rather confident that the removal of his hormones will not affect his growth that much. (We have also consulted the vet regarding this as well)

  • Cone Training

Hoshi really enjoys sleeping in his soft cone.

  • Purchase products beforehand

  1. ForFurryFriends Pet’s Activated Water Sanitizer

  • Consulting your Vet
  • Set an appointment for the surgery

  • Bring your dog out for a good run the day before
  • Set a grooming appointment the day before

Day 1 – No bruising, but the “cut” looks deep
Day 2 – No bruising yet, but some “flesh” started to grow along the incisions
Day 3 – Bruising along the side and his incisions doesn’t look good (I really got a scare on Day 3, kept watching him and cleaning it)
Day 4 – The surgical site looked much better and less swollen
Day 4 – Bruising went down by a lot after spamming with healing balm
Day 5 – Incision has a clear line of “clotted” blood, no visible swell, the bruising on the side almost all gone
Day 6 & 7 – Not much change in the pictures, but this is how it looked after one week. The vet has said that it is completely healed and the scab will come off on its own after a while. The bruising at the side is completely healed.

I hope that these pictures can give you a clearer image of what recovery is like and if your furkid is going through any bruising, please know that it is normal and it will heal!

What would I have done differently?

  • Brushing him daily

I definitely would have started brushing Hoshi every single day. This is because the cone wearing 24/7 has definitely caused some fur around the ears area to be matted. Previously, the longest time Hoshi was wearing the cone was for only 8-10 hours throughout the night and morning, so I did not notice any matted fur. I definitely would recommend brushing them if your dogs are long-coated or double-coated.

  • If I could and have the time, I would have waited for him to reach 18 months.

I am still a strong believer that dogs would need their hormones in their growth. If I had the time and option, I would love to be able to wait till he is 18 months or even 24 months. However, to avoid any complications from potential testicular torsion (as Hoshi is an extremely active dog), and to do this procedure during our break this is the best time for us.

  • Teaching him to lie on his back

This would definitely come in handy when I need to check his wounds, clean them and apply the healing balm. Hoshi doesn’t like to be on his back, hence we pick him up to do these instead. If I had the time, I would probably train him to be comfortable being on his back, or even better to do it on command.

If you have read till here, thank you so much and I hope you have learnt a thing or two! For pawrents who have neutered or spay their dogs before, what other tips do you have for those who have yet to neuter their dog? For pawrents who have not neutered their dog, do you have any questions for me? Leave them down in the comments below and I would love to answer!

Flea-Flea Go Away with Tasty Bravecto Chews!

Flea and ticks thrive in warmer climate hence the humid weather of Singapore increases the vulnerability of our pets. If left unattended, flea and ticks can cause serious health problems such as tick-borne illnesses and allergic reactions. Not to mention, the constant aggravating itch that your pets will endure. 

Bravecto recently formulated an oral chew for dogs, that targets most fleas and ticks. A single chew provides you with up to 12 weeks of protection! During which, the chew promises to eradicate pests such as the brown dog tick, American dog tick and even the lone star tick.

It also addresses other ailments such as ear mites, sarcoptic mange and Demodex mites. Bravecto also kills newly emerged fleas before they lay eggs. Thus, breaking the flea life cycle.

Their long-lasting coverage also breaks the average monthly medication cycle – Say goodbye to monthly purchases and/or medication reminders! With their Bravecto Chews, paw-rents can kick back and relax as the chew works its magic.

Not forgetting that this tasty chew makes it easy to feed. You no longer have to worry about forcing your pets to stay still while you apply topical ointments onto their fur.

Bravecto Chews disguises medication in a delectable coating making it a treat your dogs would be eager to consume.

Check out what our pet owners had to say!:

Super fuss-free and easy to feed even for picky eaters like Eurus!

Instagram @babyeuruschan

It worked so well with Toto, and I can also administer it less frequently than other monthly treatment options. ??

Instagram @Toto_thedoodle

I am a Bravecto super fan! I’ve been using Bravecto for almost 3 years now and I’ve never had a single tick spotted on me before – serious, not kidding. Bravecto is fast, easy and lasting as it kills active fleas and ticks within 12 hours.

Instagram @Yuri_thecorgi

A few attractive benefits stand out:

  • Easier to administer than topical ointments
  • Effectively kills all fleas and ticks (within 8-12 hours of consumption!)
  • Lighter on the wallet – long-lasting protection means fewer dosages = less medication required!

Bravecto owes part of its success to its active ingredient – fluralaner. When a chew is consumed, fluralaner is dispersed throughout your pet’s body hence killing all fleas and ticks upon contact. Not to worry, the substance itself is safe to consume. However, it may be wise to check with your veterinarian if your pet is suitable for the product before switching over to Bravecto chew. 

They are currently offering attractive discounts for Shopee and Lazada’s 7.7 sales! Try them out today! Their storewide sales cover all of their Chew variants – do check your pet’s weight before purchasing the corresponding product.

Get up to 20% storewide!

Purchase 2 for an additional 7% off!

Pet-Friendly Studio Kinu Offers One of a Kind Photoshoots!

Quote <PAWJOURR15> for 15% off when booking.

Studio Kinu offers one of a kind shots with their cosy picturesque backdrops– meant to mimic the comfort and ease of your daily home. 

Though their speciality appears to be family photos, their clientele reaches far and wide: On their portfolio, they showcase engagement pictures, pregnancy shoots, and most surprisingly, pets!

Credits: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFL0Y3fnq2w/

We interviewed MK, Studio Kinu’s founder, and main photographer to find out more about their business. We also reached out to you! (Pawjourr community) for some questions.

Interview with MK of Studio Kinu

@promisethedoggie: What inspired you to start this business?

I started my photography journey as a wedding photographer when I was 18. I truly enjoy photographing my clients and it means so much to me that they’d entrust me to capture their big day. However, as most wedding ceremonies are often held over the weekends, it meant that taking more jobs = burning away my weekends. 

After meeting my life partner and having our dogs, weekends are so much more precious to me. I started to think of ways that I can still do what I am passionate about, while at the same time spending time with my loved ones. Thus, the idea of a studio came to life! People and animals are the inspiration for the name of our studio – KINU, a mashup of KIN (relationships) + INU (dogs).

Indeed, the photos produced at Studio Kinu do bring out the best in our relationships. In fact, they appear to carry a strong aura of nostalgia and family. Perhaps it is the bright cool-toned temperature of their pictures that appear as though it has been pulled out of your memory or all too familiar sofa sets that you can find in your grandparent’s home; Studio Kinu’s photoshoots emphasise on capturing the smiles you share with the people you love.

As mentioned, their photos are not constrained to the human business, as they offer photoshoot packages that accommodate your pets as well. That way you can capture precious moments shared with your animals too!

Jane, Tay and Oolong had such great fun at Studio Kinu. Oolong posed well for the camera, all thanks to the accommodating nature of the studio!

Accommodating Your Pets

@zorro_tales and @theobislife: How does your studio work to accommodate the needs of our pets?

Before the photoshoot, we usually communicate with the owners to let their pets pee and poop before coming up. We take some time to let the pets familiarise themselves with us, and when the photoshoot starts, we have squeakers and treats to help capture the attention of your pet!

Credit: https://www.instagram.com/two.littlefloofs/

@nickyfats: Do you have photoshoot opportunities for cats too?

Yes of course! We have done photoshoots for cats and even rabbits before too! All sessions welcome cats!

Pricing

Excited? So are we! We also began inquiring about the packages Studio Kinu had in store.

Credit: https://www.instagram.com/the.milktea.cino/

@mimi_de_corgi: Do you have any trial packages?

Our mini sessions are the perfect trial packages for anyone who is keen to try out studio photoshoots! It is a short 20 mins session, perfect for those with young babies or a family with grandparents and daddies that aren’t as keen to be in photos.

@harley.pomsky1008: Do they have outdoor and indoor packages? 

Yes, we do! Please check out our rate card (linked below!) which includes our studio packages, as well as outdoor packages.

Emma and Toto on studiokinu.com

@iamcookiebae: How much does it cost per photoshoot?

It depends! For studio shoots, we have 3 packages. Mini session $288, Classic session $428, Deluxe session $628. (Full rate card down below!)

@loudtwinklebaby: In lieu of the COVID-19 restrictions, how many people (and pets!) are allowed for a single photoshoot? 

According to IMDA, up to 10 pax can appear in a photo unmasked and the studio can have up to 15 pax.

Graduation Shoots?

One thing that stood out the most to us is the studio’s potential for graduation photos! In lieu of the recent pandemic, many of our recent graduates are unable to attend live ceremonies to celebrate their achievements. Hence, graduate photoshoots are in high demand as it helps them commemorate this significant milestone.

The most standard graduation studio shot likely involves a green screen or a giant fake image as your backdrop. However, with Studio Kinu styled sets, your pictures will definitely stand out. However, if you do prefer solid colour backdrops- this option is still available!

 

Quote ‘PAWJOURR15’ when booking for 15% discount on both indoor and outdoor shoots.

Say Goodbye to Buyer’s Remorse with Pawjourr Sampling!

Do you know that pet owners can redeem samples for their pet?

Sampling programs help owners locate and identify the best pet food variant suitable for their pets. It helps to save time and money, especially so for new pet owners who may be unfamiliar with their pet’s food preferences.

Each sampling program depends on their distributor – Here at Pawjourr, we offer free samples in exchange for reviews. This means that pet owners are able to redeem up to 5 FREE assorted samples within one transaction. After trying and reviewing them on our main site, their cart opens up once more and they can proceed with a new transaction.

We interviewed lexi.the.spitz to find out more about their experience with Pawjourr sampling program! Read on below to find out if we are the sampling program for you!


Photo Credit: Instagram @lexi.the.spitz

What is your main concern when it comes to providing for Lexi? (in terms of food etc)

Lexi truly enjoys eating all kinds of food! However, it is always reassuring to know that food or supplements are well-liked by her before committing or purchasing the full-sized product.

For grooming and cleaning products, it is important for us to check their effectiveness of it for Lexi’s current needs. My family has a really sensitive nose so the products have to be well-scented. We would also like to ensure she has no allergic reactions to the product.

Lastly, being more budget-conscious, I would only be willing to pay knowing that a product is really good for my dog. It also reduces wastage since you only buy products that you have confidence in!

How did you hear about Pawjourr’s Sampling system?

I was first introduced to Pawjourr through Instagram stories by various pet owners. They had just expanded their product redemptions from 3 to 5 items and had released a full-size sample product! After seeing several more stories about Pawjourr, it led me to sign up for their Pawjourr+ membership to give it a try.

How was the redemption process like?

It has been really simple and smooth since the beginning! The website is easily accessible on your phone or laptop, and you’d be spoilt for choice with the number of samples available! Each sample would include the ingredients used, where you could buy it and reviews from past user redemptions.

With a flat delivery fee, the item usually arrives at my doorstep within a few days.

Just for fun, I also did a 1-minute cart out challenge for Pawjourr’s sampling redemption! My record is currently at 40 seconds!

Double click to watch their 1-minute cart out challenge!

Awesome! We are impressed at the speed of your check out. What kind of Samples have you redeemed thus far?

We have redeemed all kinds of samples through Pawjourr – wet canned food, kibbles, dental chews, pee pad, waste bags, food toppers, single-ingredient treats, supplements, grooming and cleaning essentials.

Dry/Wet Food Samples

Grooming and Cleaning Samples

Each sample would include the ingredients used, where you could buy it and reviews from past user redemptions.

Treats (Dental/Single-ingredient/General)

What appeals to you most about Pawjourr’s samples?

The sample sizes always come in ample quantities and are well-sealed! Even when it is repackaged, the team at Pawjourr labels it clearly.

There have been a few brands that have given wonderful full-sized products such as JJ E-Homes Pee Pad Pack, Chuku’s Kitchen, The Grateful Dog Ready Meals and OneV.

Treats are always Lexi’s favourites!

lexi.the.spitz

Samples are a great way to get to know your dog’s needs or wants. These can be exemplified by the incidents below.

Incident 1

We were looking for a new kibble to let Lexi try, and my mum was eyeing the Absolute Holistic Vegan Diet with Oats and Peas. For a dog who loves all kinds of food, this was the first time she outright rejected the kibble on its own. She would only begrudgingly eat the kibble when mixed with her other food. We were thankful that we did not commit to buying it!

Incident 2

With the release of supplements, it gave Lexi a chance to try all types ranging from chews, soft gels, powdered and tablets. Some tablets were too large and she simply would not swallow it even when mixed with food. For the smaller tablets, she could only eat it when hidden into her meals. After that experience, I would only purchase supplements in soft chew form.

Lexi’s supplement collection so far!

Through the positive and not-so-positive experiences, sampling allows pet owners to understand their dog’s likes and dislikes. It allows us as owners to make the best decision for them when purchasing new products.

Do you recommend sampling from Pawjourr? Why or why not?

We highly recommend everyone to try sampling from Pawjourr as it can benefit all kinds of pet owners! Whether you are just curious and would like to try more doggy products, or considering purchasing an item but aren’t sure whether your dog would like it – Pawjourr sampling helps resolve it!

Personally, it has been a lot of fun trying out different products, writing reviews and taking photos and videos of Lexi! It gives me a reason to spend time with her and capture precious moments. She definitely enjoys the fruits of her labour (aka. treats) too!

Since being with Pawjourr’s sampling programme, it has helped me to understand Lexi’s likes and dislikes. It introduced me as a first-time dog owner to the huge variety of products available to dogs! Most importantly, the products purchased after trying them through Pawjourr’s sampling programme are those that I have full confidence in. Say goodbye to buyer’s remorse! 😉

Have you since re-purchased any of the samples?

Yes, we have found a few brands or products that we enjoyed! There are many other samples the hooman would like to re-purchase, but it takes some time for one dog to go through her food and treats.

Here is the list of samples we eventually purchased:

Earthbath Oatmeal and Aloe Conditioner

The smell is really lovely, and Lexi kept sniffing it. The effects were immediately soft fur! As a bonus, the price is incredibly reasonable for a good amount.

Pet Natural’s of Vermont Daily Probiotic

I fell in love with the cute bone-like shape! I was honestly kind of disappointed when the full-size product from iHerb came in a rectangular shape instead. It has a stronger smell because it’s duck flavoured. Love how it has pre-and probiotics in one tiny chew!

Instinct Grain-free Wet Topper

Lexi really enjoyed the wet topper provided in the sample! When Pawjourr finally released the full-sized product on their Shopee shop, we decided to get a different kind under their limited ingredients series (lamb/turkey). It is individually packed to mix up your dog’s meals!

Chuku’s Kitchen Fresh Food

Eco-friendly packaging, customized meals based on each pup’s nutritional requirements, fresh and delicious fuss-free meals for your dog. Bought one subscription to help with Lexi’s post-spay healing. She was jumping like a kangaroo by the end of it!

Doggiebalm

Though the price-point is a little much for this hooman, I got these at a great deal during their clearance promotion. My favourite must-have item from Doggiebalm is the Natural Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner!

Natural Cologne Spritz

It left a great smell on my dog and clothes for a few days. Great to cover-up the “dog” smell or to freshen up in-between baths.

100% Natural Leave-in Conditioner

Bought it to assist during brushing sessions, as it helps to detangle her fur.

Natural Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner

A soap-free quick rinse-off formula that is similar to castile soap. It works great after walks or for weekly freshening up (especially during hot weather seasons) without drying out your dog’s hair.

NaturVet Tear Stain Supplement

I like supplements which look like treats since Lexi is extremely food motivated. Since trying the product, her tears will still occur (it’s not a miracle worker). However, we clean her eyes at least twice a day after meals and it prevents the staining.

Thank you lexi.the.spitz for their invaluable input. Follow them via Instagram.

Get Delicious Meals Delivered for You and Your Dog – TWO X FOUR Cafe

Support your local pet-friendly businesses during Phase 2!

The dog-loving coffee making people over at @bellysbrew has recently rebranded and opened up a cafe – named TWO X FOUR.

Inspired by the success of their home-based business, cultivated by their desire to provide good causes for dogs– the owners of TWO X FOUR have worked hard to ensure the comfort of you and your pets here at their exciting new cafe.

Located at 2 Pandan Valley, Acacia Court #01-210 S(597626), the cafe boasts an attractive and bright storefront. It’s definitely not hard to miss!

The air-conditioned 2-level cafe is designed to best accommodate you and your pups. While dining in, you can even enjoy a great view from the cafe’s second floor. Plus, the cafe’s stylish use of metal hardware and wood provides a cozy urban chic interior that will definitely feature nicely in any social media post.  

Most notably, their feature wall is an excellent photo-taking spot for your dogs. Uplift and cheer up your pet’s mood by having them “fly”!

Unfortunately, due to Phase 2, TWO X FOUR is no longer accepting dine-ins. However, they are now offering their services through deliveries and takeaways! They have retained most of their original menu, making sure to provide options for both humans and dogs. We took a look at some of their enticing offerings. Do give them a try!

For the human menu: They are offering their Chef’s special Fish and Chips ($14.90), along with Creamy Carbonara ($12.90), Ah Long’s Chick ‘n’ Chop ($13.90) and Seafood Aglio Olio ($14.90). Do take note that this list is not exhaustive.

We were most impressed with their Seafood Aglio Olio which featured two large mussels, squid rings and prawns. We could barely see our noodles amidst all that seafood-y goodness.

Their creamy carbonara is a sight to behold, as well as a feast for your stomachs.

The items on their menu are relatively inexpensive. All range less than $20, making them an excellent choice for the days when you feel like splurging, yet desire to eat luxuriously. As a special treat, they are also offering 20% off all food items and 10% off all drinks from 19 May to 13 June. 


That’s not all! As a dog-friendly restaurant, they have also worked hard to provide a menu for dogs. Our office doggos, Dexter and Oolong, were given a chance to try their scrumptious variety.

We received their Bobby’s Signature Meatballs 5pcs ($5.90), Daisy’s Signature Meatballs 5pcs ($5.90) and Shepherd’s Pie 180g ($6.50). You can view the full list of ingredients and menu items down below. Each item of the menu has been accessed and made suitable for your furkids to enjoy!

The presentation and look of these doggy meals had Dexter and Oolong drooling with anticipation.

Bobby’s Signature Meatballs is made out of grass-fed ground beef, plain and all-natural yoghurt, egg and flour. Each meatball was perfectly portioned into bite-sized pieces that were easy for Oolong to consume.

Oolong enjoyed Bobby’s Signature Meatballs

On the other hand, Dexter opted to try the Shepherd’s Pie which is made out of sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, broccoli and ground pork.

For their doggy meals, you can also opt to add in coconut oil or honey for that extra Oomph!

Besides offering meals, they also have a selection of doggy desserts such as Salmon Egg Tart and Frozen Fresh Fruit Treats.

Dexter enjoyed the Shepherd’s Pie

Yum! For a small dog, he certainly ate his weight in pork and potatoes!

You can get both human and dog menu items delivered by placing an order online or via their Facebook account. You can also check out the full list of offerings through their social media accounts.

Treat paw-selves! Try out TWO X FOUR’s food and do your part to #supportlocal during these difficult times.
