Rattlesnake bites can kill.



Even when rattlesnake bites aren't lethal, they are extremely painful for dogs - and costly for owners.

Rattlesnake bites cause profound swelling, bruising, and pain - and sometimes death - in dogs.


Cost for hospitalization and antivenom treatment for a rattler bite is usually between $2000 to $3500.

Even a 'dry bite' (when the snake doesn't release venom) is extremely painful and can cause the same type of pain, swelling and bruising - and unfortunately for you and your dog, there is no way to tell the difference without hospitalization.



SNAKE AVOIDANCE TRAINING



Not all dogs are naturally afraid of snakes!


While nothing is 100% guaranteed, snake avoidance training (or snake proofing, as it's sometimes called) has been shown be to very helpful in teaching dogs to recognize - and AVOID - snakes.


We use the "3 S" system of snake avoidance training - teaching your dog to recognize and avoid the Scent, Sight, and Sound of snakes.


Offered year-round, but most effective April to October, when snakes are active.


COST:

  • Initial Session: $125 SALE $99
  • Refresher sessions (recommended in the spring, when the snakes begin to come out): $75


This is a private, one-on-one training session. Contact us today for scheduling and details.

Did you know?



Rattlesnake bites in dogs happen most often between April and October. Warm weather brings the snakes out and increases chances of encounters.


Many dogs get bitten by rattlesnakes within yards of their own home, instead of on hikes or camping out in the back country.


Dogs are usually bitten by rattlesnakes after accidentally stepping on them, or after messing with them due to the dog's natural curiosity and prey drive instincts.
