Hi all! I'm a total novice on the uke, but am learning and loving it. Being a dog/cat veterinarian, I'd love to have some dog/cat themed songs to play. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,

I'm also a vet and I got a big kick out of these easy to play songs when I first started to play. They are both called 'My Dog Has Fleas'...I have the chords around here somewhere...

My Dog Has Fleas
My Dog Has Fleas (Uh Huh)

Other than that, I haven't gone searching for many pet-specific songs except disney!
 
I want to find the Cat Stevens song "I love my dog as much as I love you" However I may sing it more than I love you. ha ha
 
Oh and! Move It On Over, by Hank Williams, has some "dog" lyrics and is just an all-around fun song to play:

Came in last night about a half past ten
That baby of mine she wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog's movin in

Shes changed the lock on our front door
my door key don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause a fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause a tall dog's moving in

She'll crawl back to me on her knees
i'll be busy scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a bad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you start to whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in
 
Old Blue...one of the saddest songs ever!

Nellie McKay -- The Dog Song This seems like it would be a good one for a veterinarian
 
Aaaaaaand another one - Harry Nilsson, The Puppy Song.
 
Precisely my idea - I was thinking of the Rolf Harris version!:
 
+1 for Nellie Mckay - The Dog Song. Not only is she brilliant, but sometimes she even plays the uke. One of the best artists you've never heard of.

And then there's this:



Also by a fellow uker.
 
Ukulele original cat song

Just wrote this a couple weeks ago, I've posted it to "Videos and Links" as well as to "Song Writing".

 
Here's a nice CD of songs about cats:




Cat Tales by Cindy Mangsen

Cindy is well known on the folk circuit; her husband Steve Gillette, plays on the CD. That's Cindy's cat, Alice, on the CD cover.
