Hidden Gems In Wisconsin
A Look at Wisconsin’s Community Zoos
Part 1 of 5
Manitowoc's Lincoln
Park Zoo
By Rick Barton
Staff Writer
Editors note: This is the first of five sto-
ries covering Wisconsin's Community
Zoos located in Manitowoc, Oshkosh,
Marshfield, Baraboo, and Chippewa Falls.
This is the first of several series
highlighting our zoos both public and
private as well as a number of the state
wildlife areas.
It’s a beautiful sunny day and you
want to be outside enjoying it.
You think, maybe a trip to the
zoo. Then you consider the long
drive to either the NEW Zoo in
Green Bay or the Milwaukee
County Zoo, and when you get
there it can be crowded, making
it difficult to get to the exhibits to
see the animals. Well, maybe the
giraffe. How would you like
something a little closer to home?

Dear reader,
Thank you for picking up and
reading the Premier Issue of
Pet Journal. After a few
unforeseen delays in getting
the paper to press, it is finally
out! While due to a tight
deadline we were not able to
fully form and bring to you all
of the columns and features we
hoped to in this issue, though
we will continue to add the
features and columns we
planed on in the future.
Another issue of the tight
deadline was that we were not
able to peruse all of the
advertising we had hoped to
bring to you.
We at Pet Journal are
committed to bringing you
entertaining and informative
articles on animals and the
community around you. With
our Q&A columns, like “Ask the
Alpha Dog” with local Dog
Trainer, Tamara Pool and
“Ask Scrappy!” hosted by my
lovable Staffordshire Terrier,
Scrappy. For articles this
month we chose to feature a
story on the dangers of
antifreeze to help pet owners
be aware of a this very
potentially dangerous situation,
a listing of leash laws and dog
park in Sheboygan, and
because our focus is for
more than just your family
pet, we are going to do several
multi-part stories on the zoos
nature preserves around
Wisconsin. We here at Pet
Journal are pleased to have an
award winning, local pet pho-
tographer to help us provide
o u t s t a n d i n g q u a l i t y
photographs for future issues.
Pet Journal is printed on

Pet Insurance; Helps
with the High Cost of
Pet Health
By Rick Barton
Staff writer
We all know the value
of having insurance coverage
on family and ourselves. This
is especially true with medical
costs continuing to skyrocket.
Now this valuable coverage
extends to our family’s best
friends. As veterinary
technology and techniques
continue to advance and rival
those used by our doctors,
veterinary costs have risen to
cover the need for new
equipment and training. Pet
insurance has increased in
popularity to cover this
i n c re as i n g co s t f r om
veterinary bills and some
policies even cover the loss of
a pet and burial. This is great
in a time when many people
have to choose between
paying to have a healthy pet
or losing them to a shelter.
Pe t insurance is
nothing new. It has actually
been around in various
incarnations for over 100
years. The first policies
covered valuable horses and
livestock. Not until the late
1940s did the insurance begin
to cover companion animals.
Since this time, many
countries have embraced the
concept of pet insurance with
Britain and Sweden leading
the world in number of
policies. We didn’t catch on
until the 1980s.
Unlike human health
insurance, pet insurance is a
form of property insurance.
This means the insurance
pays the owner after the pet
has received treatment and a
claim has been filed with the
company. Many companies
in the U.S. and Canada pay
off on a benefit schedule or
pay a portion of the veterinary
cost, usually up to 90%, after
the deductible has been
reached. As mentioned
above, the pet owner pays the
veterinarian and then submits
a claim to the insurance
company for reimbursement.
As pet insurance
continues to increase in
popularity, some policies have
begun to change their
coverage to offer preventative
medic ine and elect ive
p r o c e d u r e s s u c h a s
vaccinations and neutering.
Many companies are also
offering the consumer the
ability to customize their
po l i c ies , a l lowing the
customer the ability choose
their own deductible and
co-insurance. This allows for
the control of premium costs
and the ability to choose a
level of coverage that meets
their specific needs.
As the number of
companies offering pet
insurance continues to grow,
so do the choices offered to
the consumer. This can make
finding a policy that is right
for you a confusing task. As
with human insurance, it’s
always best to do as much
research as possible. Choose
a company that offers a policy
that not only gives you the
coverage you need, but at a
price you can live with.

Ask Scrappy! By Scrappy, a lovable Pit Bull
feature columnist
Hi, to all of my friendly human
readers. My master and human
companion asked me to do this
question and answer column for all
of you, but with out any questions,
he said I should talk about some
general topics regarding my breed
and about my self.
For starters I am a Purebred
Staffordshire Terrier (or Pit Bull for
those of you who like lumping me in
with other dogs that look like me), I
am still a young (at heart) and
rambunctious 6yr old , for those of
you who don’t know, in human years
I am 42 years young! I love running
around my yard, playing with my
masters nephews, the oldest is 6 who
actually was my first master and his
little brother. I love going on long
walks in my neighborhood and love
seeing all the bunnies that seem to
have sprung up lately. They are fun
to watch, but never seem to want to
play with me. I also have two best
friends at home, you may be
surprised (or not) to find our they are
both cats, Austin and Misty.
Until a few months ago I was having
a very bad joint problems. It hurt
just get up and walk to my food and
water bowls, let alone going outside
to play. That changed when my
buddy brought home a new “treat”
for me that he said will help me run
and play again like I used to and it
did! He called it, if I remember
correctly ‘Doggie Glucosamine’.
Well that’s about all I can think of
right now and I want to go play some
more with the bunnies. I love
getting mail and if you have any
questions for me I will try and
answer them, please keep your
questions to more general dog topics,
I also have a source for cat
questions too. Please send your
questions to my email box at
or you can mail it to me via the Pet
Journal mailbox at:

The Dangers of
Antifreeze and
your Pets
By Rick Barton
staff writer
As the fall and winter seasons roll around it is once again time to perform the yearly task of preparing our vehic les for the cold temperatures ahead. Part of this ritual is changing or topping off the antifreeze. Though this can be a hassle to us, like the eternal raking of leaves in the fall, it can be deadly to our four legged friends. Every year an est imated 10,000 plus companion animals die a painful death from the consumption of ethylene glycol, the toxic chemical found in antifreeze. Sadly, as with so many things that are bad for us, antifreeze tastes good to animals. They will actively seek it out and it takes so little to be fatal. A single teaspoon can be fatal to a cat and as little as two ounces can be fatal to a medium sized dog. Sometimes all it may take is cleaning fur or paws that have been soiled with antifreeze after an animal has tracked thru or rolled in it. Over 80% of animals poisoned by antifreeze die if not treated in the first hours after ingestion. To make matters worse, in the be-ginning stages the symptoms may be difficult for a caregiver to diagnosis as poisoning. Below are a few of the behaviors to watch for: • Excessive thirst and
urination • Vomiting and diarrhea • Lack of coordination,
disorientation, and seizure • Grogginess, lethargy, or
depression If your pet begins to show any of these symptoms, act strangely or out of character, or you suspect they have ingested antifreeze, you must contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. See Antifreeze on page 14.

Ask the Alpha Dog “Trick or Dog Treat?”
By: Tamara Pool
4 Paws Private Training
As we near the season of ghouls and goblins, I want to give you all a few tips on how to help your dog through this “All Hallows Eve” without incident. This could be a very frightening, and potentially harmful time. Remember that your dog has no idea what is going on. They don’t understand the concept of dressing up, obviously. You, as the pet owner/parent, need to do everything in your power to make sure that they are not only well-behaved, but also safe.
First things first. Don’t expect your pooch to know that it’s you or your kids behind that mask. Allow your dog to sniff you kids’ mask or anything else that might obstruct their identity before they put it on. This will give them a better idea of who’s in there. Dog’s work off scent. That is how they greet each other and that is how they know who their people are. If the mask already has your little one’s scent on it before the dog sniffs it…all the better. Put the mask on in front of the dog a couple times to show that it’s not something attempt-ing to hurt the kids. Dogs can get protective over the children of the house. This will help limit the emo-tional issues that may arise from your four-legged friend.
If you are staying home with your dog to hand out candy, be aware that a kid that comes to your door may frighten your dog. Think of it this way…there is a freaky-looking thing standing at my door. This could cause your dog to lash out. Although it is unintentional, be alert to the signs of a fearful dog. Ears down, tail tucked and lowered head are all signs of a fearful dog. Watch for these
signs and, if need be, move your dog to another room where they won’t be affected.
Lastly, make sure that any candy that comes into the house stays out of pooches reach. It’s not just chocolate that is bad for dogs, but any candy is potentially harmful. They love to get into things that they shouldn’t have. The kids will be upset, the parents will be upset and the dogs could get very sick. So take a preventative measure and keep it out of reach from the start. Of course you need to inspect the candy before it can be enjoyed. This would be a good time to work on a “Leave It” command. Encourage your dog to completely ignore the candy that is laid out for inspection and they can receive a treat for their good behavior.
While problems are inevitable for some, if you follow these simple guidelines you can look forward to a happy and fun Halloween full of great memories with your canine companion. Happy Trick or Treating!!
This being the first article for
this column, it’s straight forward and
just me. However, I would welcome
questions to be answered in the
column in the future. Consider me
the Dear Abby of the dog world. To
submit your questions, simply email
and you may see your questions
answered in the next issue.

Zoo
Continued from Front Cover:
A zoo with beautiful, clean
grounds, happy healthy animals,
and a friendly and informative
staff. Then look no further then
the Lincoln Park Zoo in
Manitowoc. Lincoln Park Zoo is
one of many local community
zoos throughout the state of
Wisconsin. Though smaller than
AZA (Association of Zoos and
Aquariums) zoos, they offer a
wonderful and unique opportunity
to get a closer look at the animals
and ask questions of the staff.
If you’re on a tight budget, many
of these zoos are free and rely
on donations. I know what you’re
thinking, do I really need to
see another goat or deer display?
Well, you may be pleasantly
surprised at what you might
find. The Lincoln Park Zoo has
a beautiful and rare Snow
Leopard on display and that
big fuzzy black bear isn’t one
you’ll find anywhere in the wilds
of Wisconsin. It’s actually an
Asiatic Black Bear. The way to
tell the difference is that big mane
on either side of his face and
the distinctive white “V” markings
on his chest. Those are just a
couple of the surprises you may
not expect to find at a local com-
munity zoo.
The Lincoln Park Zoo isn’t a new
zoo, as some suspect. Actually,
it was founded in 1935 and
opened a year later in 1936.
It had extensive renovations in
the 1990s, but retained its natural
setting feel that makes it so
enjoyable to visit. It specializes
in North American Animals,
indigenous to the US and Canada.
There are also exotic animals
from around the world. Many of
the animals Lincoln Park Zoo
acquires are donated from other
zoos.
Lincoln Park Zoo hosts several
seasonal events during the year,
such as the “Haunted Barn”
for Halloween. A haunted maze,
refreshments and games at the
Big Red Barn, as well as, a
trail through the haunted forest;
please note this is not a
free event, see event poster
located on page 17. During the
summer, the Big Red Barn hosts
farm animals from local farmers
for an educational experience for
the kids.
Hours at the Lincoln Park
Zoo vary during the year.
• Winter hours begin after
Labor Day weekend and
go thru Memorial Day week-
end, please see chart below.
• Summer hours begin Memorial
Day weekend and end Labor
Day weekend, please see the
chart below.

Keeping Your Pets
Safe During the
Holidays
By Rick Barton
Staff writer
Editors note: This column will
appear in months when there is a
holiday that could have items
that are dangerous to pets.
As we come upon
another holiday season, as
animal caregivers we need to
be aware of the potential
h a z a r d s f a c i n g o u r
companions. I know it’s the
holidays and our four footed
friends are an important part
of our families and you want
to share joys and yummy
treats of the season with
them. You just need to keep in
mind the hidden dangers that
face them. In this article I will
try to break them down by
holiday, though many of these
issues cross over to other
holidays during the rest of the
year.
Halloween
Tamara,
in her column
“Ask the Alpha
Dog”, did a great job
explaining behavioral issues
pertaining to Halloween. What
I’d like to address are the dan-
gers faced with candy and
costumes.
First off, lets talk about
costumes. I know they’re cute
and when you see your little
buddy all dressed up for the
holiday, you go nuts. There
are just a few issues to keep
in mind. Make sure the
costume fits properly. Elastic
too tight around the neck can
cause breathing problems,
swelling and skin irritation on
the rest of the body if it works
its way through dense fur
down to the skin.

Safety
Continued from page 13
Costumes with small plastic
pieces can be chewed off and
cause choking. A good
general rule is, try to keep an
eye on your pet whenever they
are dressed in a costume. If
you’re like most people, it’ll be
hard not to look at how cute
they are.
Candy though delicious
to us, can impact animals
health dramatically. Sugar-
free candies containing Xylitol
(artificial sweetener) is very
dangerous and can cause
hypoglycemia and l iver
damage.
We’ve all heard the
story that chocolate is
dangerous and it’s true.
Depending on the amount
consumed, chocolate can be
potentially toxic to companion
pets. Theobromine is the
component in chocolate that
makes it toxic. Though the
various kinds of chocolate
have different degrees of
theobromine in them, milk
chocolate having the least and
bakers chocolate having the
most, they are all dangerous.
Contact a veterinarian if you
believe you pet consumed any
amount of chocolate.
Any candies, such as
lollipops, that contain a
wooden, rolled paper, or
plastic stick can be a choking
hazard and if consumed cause
serious internal injuries
to a pet.
Plastic, cellophane, or
aluminum foil candy wrappers
can also be a concern. Pets
can find discarded candy, find
they smell just like the candy
they covered and eat them.
Wrappers can cause vomiting,
c h o k i n g a n d i n t e s t i n a l
blockage.
Lighted decorations
requiring either electricity or
candles pose potential risks.
Chewing on the power cords or
the small bulbs can result in
damage to their mouth and
gums from broken glass and
dangerous shocks from power
cords. Candles have the
potential of burning little faces
that get too close or tails that
swish over open flames.
None of these hazards
should prevent you from
having a fun filled Halloween
with your four legged buddy,
as long as you keep potential
hazards out of their reach.
Antifreeze
Continued from page 5
It is vital to begin treatment
immediately to prevent the
kidney failure that takes so
many of our companions
animals from us. Even if your
little friend seems to get
better, this is extremely
misleading and not an
indication they are well. This
return to “health” lasts only
for a day or two before
kidney failure and death
occurs. Taking your pet to
a vet for urine and blood
tests is the only way to be
sure they are safe or to begin
treatment if they were
exposed to antifreeze.
Though this may sound
grim, there are measures to
take to prevent antifreeze
poisoning from occurring. The
first and most important step
is to switch to antifreeze that
contains propylene glycol.
This is a safe alternative
to ethylene glycol and
performs exactly the same. It
tas tes b i t te r and w i l l
cause animals to avoid it.
P h a r m a c e u t i c a l g r a d e
propylene glycol has been
safely used as an ingredient
in foods and medical products
for many years. It can even
be found in pet food.
Other preventative
measures include the cleanup
of all spills or overflow and
disposal of used antifreeze.
Make sure new or used
antifreeze is kept out of the
reach of pets and children in
a tightly sealed leak proof
container. Never drain
antifreeze onto the ground
or into the street. This allows
a potentially deadly substance
to enter into the ecosystem
and water supply. Recycling
sites are available for
d i s p o s a l o f h a z a r d o u s
household materials; call your
local government to find
out about disposal options.
These few simple steps
can save the lives of your
companions, those of your
neighbors and the wildlife you
share the neighborhood with.
