pet strollers

August 27th, 2009

Again, like your children, pets need to be walked around the neighborhood or the park. As puppies it will be easier for them to be carried in pet strollers. It will keep bigger dogs from harassing them. It will also be easier for you because puppies are so enthusiastic, they can be pesky irritating at times. Letting them stay in their stroller will keep them from investigating every bush or tree trunk.

There are all sorts of pet strollers. There are ultra light pet strollers, always a welcome feature when you have to carry it from the car. Some strollers combine as travel carriers. Others are combination pet carrier, pet car seat and pet stroller. We love these manufacturers. They think of everything.

dog training

August 20th, 2009

One of the most gratifying things to have is a pet pooch. They are lovable, loyal and will love you unconditionally. Having a dog is no joke or walk in the park. You have to spend time with your dog in both training and playing. Dog training is easy to do if done right.

The important part of dog training is you train the dog not the dog will train you. Two things can happen: either you will be the alpha male and will lead the pact or your dog will be the alpha male. Dog training is easy but you will need consistency. Do it again and again until your dog gets it. Never change a command or your dog will be confused.

dog and cat supplies

August 18th, 2009

I became a fan of internet transaction when I bought a domain name for my website. It was a hassle-free experience that liberated me somehow. So I began to order bags, shirts and dog and cat supplies on the internet. My mother who’s a very traditional woman predicted that I’ll be the next victim of internet hoaxes. However, I assured her that everything is okay as I’ve tried it already.

To further assure her and eventually convert her I gave her the following tips just in case she decides to try online transactions herself:

- Be wary of the product photos, look for product dimension or size instead.
- Read through the “About Us” and “Contact” pages before going deeper into the “Product Catalogue”
- For added security, try to check if the site starts with “https”
- If possible try ordering from sites that already have a good reputation, or good reviews from friends.
- Lastly use your own judgement. If you are suspicious about the site then don’t order from it.

dog caps

August 14th, 2009

The word ‘fashionista’ is no longer exclusive to men and women, straight or gay. It is so because pets like cats and dogs are also becoming fashion trendsetters nowadays. Aside from designer shirts or booties, dogs are now donning dog caps or bandannas. In fact some dog tags or dog collars are now encrusted with gems or bling-blings. Some pet shops even offer couture clothing for dogs that ranges from jammies, jackets to a more formal tux or lacy gown. We don’t really know who started this trend but so far it has become so popular in the US and other countries as well.

Gone are the days that dogs are just night patrols. Dogs are now treated like babies or a well-loved family member. Single men or ladies, empty nesters or retirees now rear pets as their closest companions. Thus it is no wonder why some pet owners and pets share the same fashion statement.

soft side dog crate

August 14th, 2009

Dog training is a must for dog owners. It is a great way to bond with your pooch. Your dog will know you’re the alpha male who makes all the decisions. The first training your dog will need is crate training. Your dog will have to learn how to stay inside the crate during certain times of the day.

Training with a soft side dog crate has its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of soft side dog crate is that it is very light and can be folded when not in use. It is great for travel. It also has outstanding ventilation and comes in lots of colors. Your dog will be very comfortable in it. The downside of the soft side dog crate is some dogs tend to chew on it when for long periods of time.

Lower your dog’s level of tension and reduce barking and stress. Cover his den with a dog crate cover. This fabric will also protect your dog’s tail when he can’t as injury can happen when a dog wags his tail while inside his crate. A crate cover further provides the comfort and security that dogs love.

Dog trainers and vets recommend crates to be covered especially if the crate is located outdoors. The dog crate cover will block sunlight and make your pet feel relaxed even under the heat of the sun. During the evenings, the crate cover can also protect your dog from cold and windy conditions and keep him warm through the night.

designer leather dog collars

August 12th, 2009

The collar and leash are dog accessories that almost all dogs have and use. Their variety range from nylon collars to designer leather dog collars. The most important thing to consider when choosing a dog collar is that it is the right size and weight for the pet. Big, fully grown dogs require a heavier and wider collar while for a puppy a soft nylon collar or a thin leather one will be the best. The fit should be carefully determined. The rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck.

While collars are made from a variety of materials, it also comes in many colors, patterns and styles. Buckle collars are very popular for both big and small dogs. They are less likely to be undone and they are adjustable from puppy hood to adulthood. A collar with a snap-type fastener is another popular alternative. Like the buckle collar the length can be easily adjusted.

weave poles

August 10th, 2009

We all love a well obedient dog. We also love dogs that can do amazing tricks like catch and fetch. For me, dogs weave poles is one of the best tricks I’ve seen. To get a dog to weave poles must be very hard. Most dog owners can’t even get their dogs to stop chewing on shoes.

Watching dog competition on cable sports network is fun. It’s amazing what the dog trainers do with their dogs. They must spend countless hours training their dogs. I on the other hand have a very smart bulldog. He only knows one trick and I didn’t even have to teach it to him. The only trick my bulldog knows is identifying cheap shoes from the expensive ones; he always seems to chew on the latter.
