When the earth shakes, the wind blows or the home is filled with the smell of smoke, most people automatically shift into the self-preservation mode and scramble to preserve their lives and the lives of others in the family. Those who plan ahead and develop contingencies for such emergency situations generally fare better than those who do not. Professionals in the emergency disaster relief field promote emergency evacuation plans for people, because they work.

But what about an emergency plan for our pets? They are family members too. Shouldn’t our plans for emergency evacuation include them as well? Thousands of trusting, devoted pets are lost each year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and fires, simply because their people did not have an emergency plan that included them.

With proper planning, many losses and much heartache can be avoided. Having an emergency evacuation plan in place that includes the family pet does not require a lot of effort. It is a task that is very easy to accomplish. The following information and tips are provided to help you develop such a plan.

• Never leave your pet behind unless circumstances absolutely prevent you from taking them. For instance, if the house is crumbling beneath your feet during an earthquake and you can’t find the cat, you probably should get yourself and your family to safety first and then, if safe, return to find the cat later. The chances are that a cat or dog will manage to exit the house on their own accord in such a situation, because they don’t want to be there either.

In a situation where there is time to plan your evacuation however, such as an approaching fire-line or hurricane, pets should not be left behind. Their lives are as vulnerable to these threats as humans and they need to be protected. Even if they manage to survive, the chance of them running off and not being found is extremely high. If they are found, it will probably be animal control and in the aftermath of a natural disaster, efforts for reuniting pets with their people are not high on the agenda.

• Do not book your pet into a local kennel or temporary shelter unless local authorities determine the shelter will withstand the impending danger. If the facility is in the path of destruction, boarding your pet there will not remove the danger to them. You will probably find that local shelters and kennels will be closed and not accepting business anyway. Additionally, kennels in neighboring towns that are not in harm’s way will probably run out of vacancies very quickly.

The best idea is to check with your local shelter or chapter of the SPCA long before the need arises. They may already have all the information you need.

In the absence of having such information, it is suggested that you keep your pet(s) with you. Recently there has been a awakening in the motel/hotel industry to the importance of pets to potential customers and more and more establishments are making provisions for animals. It should be relatively easy to find a motel that will accept your pet for very little additional expense.

• Ensure that your pet’s vaccines are up to date and have that paperwork in a place where you can find it quickly if the need to evacuate arises. If your evacuation occurs during the time the disaster is taking place (i.e. the beginning of a hurricane, etc.) make sure your pet has a collar and that the required tags are attached. Without meaning any disrespect, it might be a good time to treat your pet like a piece of luggage by adding an information tag to the collar with your contact information and an alternate family member’s (outside the endangered zone) contact information. In the event you are separated from your pet, this could be the one factor that ensures you are reunited.

• Some organizations give advice for situations where you have no choice but to leave your pet(s) at home. Except in those where circumstances prevent you from locating your pet and you must leave immediately (i.e. flood waters rising, etc.) such advice does not resonate with this writer. As a member of the family, they have an expectation of being important too. They depend upon you and you can’t let them down.

Just a little effort today may save you a lot of heartache tomorrow. Take the time and draft a plan for pet evacuation.

There are thousands of local and online Pet Stores but most people only know about Petco and PetsMart. The reason these businesses have succeed is because of consistent advertising so the customer does not forget their name (brand). Branding is the key to success of any business regardless of size.

A brand is your organization’s personality. Without a brand you’re only a small business. You need to start with targeting your potential customer base. If you provide a Pet Sitting service, make sure people in your area know about you. Try to take advantage of all possible advertising opportunities. Have good references ready for potential customers. People feel more comfortable with the businesses who provide customer feedbacks.

Try different marketing strategies before you decide on one. Measure your advertising performance periodically and make changes accordingly. Try to advertise on media that provide you longer visibility. For example, it is better to advertise in Yellow Pages or Online Business Directory who provide one year listing than your one time ad in the Newspaper.

Other thing you could do is, study marketing strategies for big businesses who are successful. You may not be able to spend same money as big businesses but it could give you enough information to make the right marketing decisions. Based on the Overture keyword tool, there were 3,95,015 searches performed for the keyword “Pet Supply” in the month of May 2005. This information is to give you an idea that people are looking for your products or services, but they should be able to find you. This can be done with branding your business.

We have many very helpful and fun (not to mention money saving) promotions at www.gaypinkspots.com. I wish that I could tell you all about each and everyone one right now, but that will take some time.

One promotion that I will be taking advantage of the next time I leave town is from one of our advertisers, Bayshore Dog & Cat Care. They are offering one night of free boarding for your pet just for mentioning Pink Spots. Bayshore Dog & Cat Care has been serving Bay Area pet owners for over 25 years! They offer many services from dog and cat boarding, to vaccinations, to grooming, and bathing. They also have many options within the services they provide such as offering organic shampoos for bathing services. Bayshore Dog & Cat Care goes above and beyond to ensure that your dog or cat is treated kindly and feels comfortable throughout their grooming experience or their stay and if you love your pet as much as I love my Mr. Cockeyed Cat you understand how important their comfort is. If you are not leaving town anytime soon they are also offering one full day of Doggie Day care or $20 off a bath or grooming service. Along with their bathing services they also offer flea baths. Check out their offer at http://www.gaypinkspots.com/gay-business-coupons/promotion.php?id=57. This reminds me… I do need to take Mr. Cockeyed cat to get groomed (he is a long haired Persian-Himilayin mix we saved from a shelter in Redwood City). Bayshore Dog & Cat Care here I come…

First of all, I would like to say that all of the people skating were absolutely fabulous. It was seriously like an outtake from Blades of Glory. Everyone was spinning and skating gracefully around the rink. By the way, every Wednesday the roller rink in Redwood City hosts a fabulous LGBT skate night (Rainbow Skate).

Americans and their loved pets move on average every seven years. If you have a pet or pets, remember that they also experience stress, particularly from moving. In many cases, moving can be even more stressful on pets, as the home is their habitat. Pets can also become very frightened when faced with unfamiliar situations. Careful organization and planning can make the moving process easier and less stressful for both you and your pet. Our guide offers tips and advice to help you and your pet through this process.

Pet travel warning

• Never move a sick pet – the move may aggravate his symptoms and be dangerous to his health.

• The Animal Welfare Act makes it illegal to transport puppies and kittens less than eight weeks old by air.

• Pets cannot be moved on a moving van with your household belongings.

• Pets are generally not allowed on trains or buses, unless they’re guide-dogs accompanying blind or otherwise impaired persons.

• Book a direct flight if you are traveling by plane. If your pet is traveling in freight he may be sitting outside with the freight for a long period of time between flights and as the freight is being moved from plane to plane. If the weather is either too hot or too cold your pet will suffer. An insulated crate will certainly help this situation if it cannot be avoided.

Air Transport

You may transport your pet by air either accompanying you or as air freight. Some airlines provide counter-to-counter service so your pet will be carried on and off the plane by an airline employee. Remember, not all airlines accept pets for transportation, so be sure to inquire when you are making your travel arrangements. Also be sure to check about charges and insurance charges for transporting your pet.

It is important that you book your air travel as early as possible. Airlines that accept pets for transportation will have specific regulations and guidelines regardless of whether the pets are accompanied or unaccompanied. For example, you may be required to be at the airport several hours in advance of the flight to check your pet in and your pet may need a special crate. The airline may be able to provide to you a crate for the trip, or you may have to purchase one from the airline.

The airline will have guidelines on the crate types allowed and your local pet supply company will be able to sell you the required crate. You pet should be able to stand and turn around with ease and there should be adequate ventilation. The bottom of the crate should be padded with newspaper or other absorbent material. Add a favorite toy on move day to give a sense of security. Try to get your pet accustomed to the crate at home before the big day.

On move day, feed and water your pet at least 5 hrs before the flight departure time and water again at least 2 hours before departure. Remember to administer any medication or veterinarian-recommended tranquilizers before departure. When you arrive at the airport, exercise your pet and check that you have provided all the necessary information to airline staff regarding your name, correct new address and alternate contact name in case of emergency.

Some airlines allow passengers to bring pets into the cabin with them, provided they fall within a specific size range and stay in a carrier for the duration of the flight.

By road – In a motor vehicle

Unless you are planning a very short road trip, do not feed or water your pet for a couple of hours before leaving. You may decide to put your pet in a crate during the road trip, but be sure he is able to stand and turn around with ease and that there is adequate ventilation. The bottom of the crate should be padded with newspaper, towels or other absorbent and cushioning material. Adding a favorite toy will help give a sense of security. Exercise your pet regularly during the road trip, but always use a leash because your furry friend can easily get lost or hit by a car if he wanders off.

Do not let your pet hang his head out the window while the car is moving. While many dogs love to do this, it can cause sore eyes, ears or throat. And, never let the windows down so far that your pet can jump out.

Warning

Never leave a pet in a hot car during the summer or in a cold car in the winter. Temperatures inside a car with closed windows escalate dramatically when it’s parked in the sun. Even if it’s pleasant outside, it takes only a few moments to reach over 100 degrees inside the car – which can be fatal for small occupants. If you absolutely have to leave your pet briefly, and the day is hot, park in the shade, lock the car doors and crack the windows open several inches to provide cross-ventilation. Check on him regularly. If the day is very hot, it is best not to leave your pet in the car at all.

Pet’s travel bag

Don’t forget to pack a travel bag for your pet! Following is a list of items you may wish to include;

• Food and can opener

• Food and water dishes

• Any medication your pets needs

• Treats

• Favorite toys

• Leash

• Grooming brush

• Bags to clean up after your pet

• Newspapers

• Cleaner and paper towel

Whatever mode of transport you use for your pet, make sure you are in compliance with state and local regulations for animals in your destination city, along with current copies of.

• ID tags

• Health records

Pets ID tags

The state where you are moving may have different laws regarding animals and their entry across state lines. It is important that you understand the requirements so that you can comply with them, so contact the state veterinarian for specific information. It is not uncommon for pets to need an entry permit in order to enter a new state. As well, in many towns and cities the number of pets per household may be limited. You will be required to obtain a local license for your pet within a certain deadline, such as 30 days, so find out what it is. You don’t want to pay a fine for not keeping your pet’s license current!

Health

You may need to obtain a health certificate for your pet from a licensed veterinarian and this can be used in the event it is required for entry to your new home state. The Department of Agriculture may request to see the health cert at your destination airport or could even be patrolling the highways if you are driving. A health cert is generally valid for 10 days, so be sure to have the inspection scheduled just before you move. The veterinarian will conduct a complete physical examination of your pet and check that he is current with all inoculations.

Dogs

Whether traveling by air or by car, moving can be even more stressful for a dog than for a human, although some dogs adapt better than others. Hold off on packing your dog’s bedding and toys until the last moment so that he can be comforted by the presence of familiar things. If you’re traveling a long way, avoid feeding your dog for 12 hours before the journey in order to prevent travel sickness. If you know your dog suffers from travel sickness, ask your veterinary surgeon about medication.

If you plan on flying to your new home, do your best to book a direct flight. If your dog has to be transported by freight and the flight is not direct he may have to sit out in the hot or cold weather as the freight is boarded to the new flight. Check with the airlines for details. If your dog is small enough, he may be able to travel in the passenger cabin with you. He will need a special pet carrier, which you can purchase at your local pet store. Ask the airline what crate specifications they require.

If traveling by car, have your dog’s nails cut to avoid damage to the upholstery. Carry an adequate supply of plastic bags and use these to clean up after your pet at any rest stops you use. Never let your dog hang his head out the window of a car when it’ s moving. Even though most dogs love to do this, it can cause sore eyes, ears or throat.

Never leave your pet alone in a car, especially in hot weather. The temperature inside the car can quickly rise to an unbearable level, even on what feels like a pleasant afternoon.

Once you arrive at your destination, be sure to get your dog back in to his routine of eating and exercise. If you have moved to an apartment building and your pet dog was used to having a yard to play in, you’ll need to be extra considerate. Walk your dog more frequently, at least until he gets used to his new living situation. Be patient and make allowances for indoor “accidents.” Don’t punish your pooch, as this may make the problem worse. Clean the mess to remove the soil and smell. Once your dog has settled in, the accidents should stop. Use positive reinforcement to teach him where he needs to go. Always praise him when he relieves himself in the correct place.

One way to help your dog settle in more quickly is to create a comfortable sleeping area for him. If your new home has a yard, check the fencing to make sure that it is secure, of sufficient height and ‘hole-free’ before letting your dog run loose. If your dog is able to escape, exercise him on a lead until you are able to make the necessary improvements.

Cats

It’s commonly accepted that cats get very attached to places and typically hate to move. Cats get particularly comfortable with routine, and don’t like their environment to change. This can make moving especially difficult for humans and their cats.

In the days leading up to your move, try to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. It is best to crate your cat during the moving process, and it may be helpful to ask a friend or family member to keep an eye him.

If you are traveling by air, you may need to purchase an airline-approved carrier for you cat. You airline should be able to provide you with all the details. If you are traveling by car you may also want to use a crate or carrier so your cat cannot roam about the car, or escape through an open window or door.

Once you are in your new location, be careful to keep your cat indoors until he becomes comfortable in his new surroundings. Do not allow your cat outdoors, because he may try to return to you old home … and that’s obviously dangerous for him, especially if you’ve moved far away. Supervised outings are advised until your pet gets used to your new home. You can use a long leash on your cat and connect it to a stake in the ground, allowing your pet to wander the length of the leash for the first few days. Let your cat explore all the rooms of the house and be sure to check that outside doors and windows are closed before you begin.

Birds and Small Pets

Of all pets, birds are probably the most sensitive to changes in temperature and environment. Your pet bird can be moved in the cage in which it lives. When you are moving with your pet bird, be sure to use a cover for the cage. This can keep the bird calm and protect it from drafts. Place the cage in a shallow box to collect any gravel, feathers or droppings that may spill during transit. Remove any containers of food and water before moving the cage to avoid spills en route. Do feed and water your bird at its regular times, as birds, like all small animals, can become dehydrated very quickly in warm weather.

Some states require a health cert for birds entering the state. The USDA may inspect this cert either at the airport or during routine roadway inspections. Have your pet bird inspected by your veterinarian prior to traveling. Some health certificates are valid for a brief period of time. Ten 10 days is a common window for a health certificate.

Horses

There are several ways to transport horses. Your horse can be transported by air freight, by towing a trailer or by hiring a specialized horse transporting company. The horse transport company can use either air or road to transport horses.

By Air

Many airlines accept horses as air freight. In general, they will only transport horses on direct flights. You will be required to have a stall constructed to the airline’s specifications, and you will need to ensure your horse has the necessary health checks completed prior to moving to your new home state. Remember that requirements vary by state, and airlines will request a health certificate. The USDA may also be at the destination airport conducting inspections and may request to see the health certificate.

By Road

Depending on the distance you need to travel, towing your horse in a trailer behind your car or truck may be an option. If you do not own a trailer, you may consider renting one, but you’ll want to be sure you’re experienced enough to safely load and trailer your horse. You can also pack tack and feed in the trailer.

If your trip requires overnight stays you will need to book stables en route for your horse. These stables will require a health certificates appropriate to horses only, and if they do not you probably don’t want to board your horse there. Your veterinarian should be aware of the applicable laws of the different states and will be able to provide you with the necessary health certificates. (Contact information regarding states entry requirements is at the end of this guide.)

If you are unable to find a stable or lodgings for your horse in close proximity to your hotel, inquire whether the hotel will allow you to keep the trailer in the parking lot overnight. In inclement weather this is not advisable. Feed and water your horse per the normal routine and clean out the stall when you have an overnight stop.

Reptiles

Most states have strict government regulations regarding the entry of reptiles. See the states regulatory contact list at the end of this guide to find out what you need to do before moving your reptile from state to state.

As a general rule, the carrier that a reptile is transported in needs to be kept moist. Place the reptile in a cloth bag and fasten the top of the bag, making sure to leave the reptile enough room to move about, then place the bag in the shipping container. Use foam peanuts for cushioning and place damp paper or cloth in the shipper to keep the environment moist. Make sure there are air holes in the shipper for ventilation. If you are traveling overnight with your reptile you may need to place him in the tub of your hotel room at night for a nice long soak. Check if the hotel allows pets first.

Do not ship reptiles in excessively hot or cold weather, as their shipping container may be left outside for periods of time, leading to stress and possibly death.

Snakes must be handled with extra care, especially if they are venomous. Most airlines require double crating for snakes, which means putting the snake in one crate and then placing this crate in another, larger crate. Adequate ventilation is a must. The airline may provide you with stickers to put on all sides of the crate and you will need to write the type of snake on this label. You should also write on the sticker whether the snake is venomous or not.

**Warning

Remember to keep the surroundings of all reptiles moist, but not wet. Placing a damp cloth inside the container is one of the best ways to keep your reptile’s environment appropriately moist during transit.

Fish

Fish are notoriously difficult to move safely from one location to another, but it can be done effectively and efficiently with some planning. It is advisable to sell or give away as many fish as you can before you move to help ease the burden. However if this is not an option, this guide will help you understand what you need to do.

Depending on the size of your aquarium, and the number and type of fish you have, it may be easier to separate them into a several smaller tanks. If the aquarium is 5 gallons or less it may be just as easy to move the entire aquarium. Place some cellophane over the top of the aquarium and remove all heaters and aerators. Place the container in a cooler box or Styrofoam container to regulate the temperature and keep it constant for up to 48 hours. Be sure to open the cellophane every four to five hours to change and refresh the air. This option may be the best for tropical fish, which don’t do well in smaller containers with overcrowding or sudden changes in water and temperature.

Never leave the container in the car overnight, as the temperature changes may be too drastic for the fish. If you plan to be traveling to your destination for a couple of days with your fish it is advisable to purchase a portable aerator to keep the water well oxygenated. Always pack your aquarium last in the moving truck so that you can unload it quickly at your destination.

If you separate your fish into smaller containers or fish bags, you should try to use the aquarium water in order to keep the environment as constant as possible. In the event you do not have enough water for all the smaller containers, add fresh or saltwater appropriate to the type of fish. It is advisable to allow each container of water to settle for a few hours after filling. If you have only a small number of fish and are moving a short driving distance, you can move the fish to their new location by using plastic bags half-filled with water and half-filled with air. As a general guideline, each fish should have at least 1-2 gallons of water. To maintain the temperature, place the bags in an insulated container or Styrofoam container.

Most fish can go without food for a couple of days without any problems, but it is important to add healing agents to the water, as the fish may become bruised en route. This is not uncommon and you can purchase healing agents at your local pet supply store.

When you arrive at your destination set up the aquarium as quickly as possible. You may need to treat the water to neutralize any chemicals; your local pet store can advise you of any treatments the local water may need.

Turn the aerator on for a while, and then add slowly and gently add the fish to the tank one at a time. Wait until the water settles, and feed them as usual.

New Community

PLEASE, PLEASE be responsible when you move and check beforehand with your new community to find out if pets are allowed. Some apartment and condominium complexes may not allow pets, and you certainly don’t want to find that out on moving day.

Some of the most common reasons that people leave their pets with shelters are “we are moving “and “my landlord doesn’t allow pets.” Remember, pets do not know why their owners are leaving them behind, so do your homework beforehand to save all that heartbreak. Consider your options carefully, as pets should be considered a lifetime commitment. If you are absolutely unable to take your pet with you, you owe it to this creature to find him a good home.

State and local regulations

You need to make sure that your pet has some sort of easily read ID attached to its body. For dogs and cats this can be a collar, while a tag around the leg is appropriate for birds. The ID tag should have your pet’s name, destination address, your name and telephone number. It is also a good idea to have an alternate’s name and number on the tags in the event that somebody finds your lost pet and is unable to get in touch with you. You should also have rabies tags for your pet; depending on the state where you live this will most likely be a requirement. For air travel, your pet may be required to wear special travel tags, which the airline will provide.

We’ve all heard the old saying that “beauty is only skin deep.” While only the most superficial among us would argue with this statement, it doesn’t hold true where health is concerned.

Our skin is the largest organ in the integumentary system – which also includes the hair and nails that cover our body - that protects us from exterior threats, including sharp objects and viruses. The skin plays an important role in temperature regulation (sweat), insulation, sensation, the synthesis of vitamin D, and the excretion of waste.

As one of the main sites of waste disposal, the skin is also one of the best windows into health that exist. When we are eating a healthy diet, and living and active lifestyle, it shows on the skin. The same is true when we are eating junk food and too many sweets. It shows! This is the reason that even someone in their 30′s can break out in a bout of acne after one-too-many pieces of fudge at the office holiday party. When it comes to health, the surface of the skin can be the most important indicator of the nutritional value of our diets. If you want to look and feel great on our outsides, we have to consider what you are giving to our insides. The same lessons hold true for our cats and dogs.

Despite the hirsute nature of our furry companions outer coverings, their coats – and the scalp underneath – serve many of the same functions as our own skin. And – just like us – their diet can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining the health and luster of their coats.

Good skin nutrition requires the supply of a number of nutrients including vitamins B and A, copper, zinc, fatty acids and proteins. Deficiencies in an numerous essential fatty acids, amino acids, minerals or vitamins will cause various changes in the structure of the skin, and can also lead to a dangerous undermining of the skin’s vital functions. By maintaining proper levels of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals in your pet’s diet, you will go a long way toward insuring that your dog or cat will maintain a beautiful coat and healthy skin.

Skin contains a large amount of protein. It also serves as a reservoir of sorts when the body is lacking in protein and must maintain reserves. The individual hairshafts that make up your pet’s coat are primarily composed of protein. When the skin is not receiving enough of this vital component a number of conditions can arise, resulting in rashes, lesions, decreased hair production and decreased diameter of the hair fibers. No matter the condition, all of these symptoms can be irritating, painful, unattractive, and can begin to erode the more crucial aspects of the skin’s protective role. In addition, fats and fatty acids provide crucial nutrients to your pet’s scalp and coat. Without these nutritional essentials, your pet’s coat will not shine with the luster and soft-to-the-touch feel that is pleasing to the eye and indicates healthy nutrient levels in the diet. Luckily for modern pet-owners, there are plenty of products available to take the guess-work out of caring for your pet’s scalp and coat nutrition.

If you are the owner of a playful feline who is having issues with its coat, think “fish”. You know your cat loves fish and the oils that are so good for your skin are great for your furry friend as well. Tiki Cat – Molokai Lanai – Tuna in Crab Surimi Consomme is a great choice for skin soothing oils. If you are happy with your cat’s current food, but want to give it a boost of Omega 3 oils, try Solid Gold Flaxseed Oil. The oil is a nutritional powerhouse that will insure your cat is getting enough of what it needs. The oil is also great for dogs. Dogs and Cats may also benefit from snacking on Snack 21 Salmon Flakes. The yummy flakes will make those coats shine better than ever.

Talk to your vet about your pet’s scalp and coat. And remember – where your pet is concerned, beauty is more than skin deep.

When children are asked for 2 things they desire, their answer would often be toys and pets. We all loved toys when we were children and as adults we still love our pets. Pets have major roles in their owner’s lives. Pets provide us with warmth and closeness, some are trained as hunters and protectors of our families and properties, others are specifically trained to aid folk with disabilities. Some have been known to save lives.

A pet can represent many things for children. Having a pet teaches them about relationships, love, compassion, responsibility, and plenty more. A child’s life would significantly be improved if they are permitted to have a pet. Nobody can reject the seriousness of caring for a pet. However , it’s very important to be safe when choosing a pet – particularly when kids are concerned. We must choose the right pet for our family and keep our pets in sound health. It can be costly to keep pets healthy. Before getting a pet, you must decide whether you can afford to maintain its health. Keeping your pets healthy is terribly
Important. There are a few illnesses that youngsters or even adults can contract from pets, so extreme care when choosing your child’s pet is required. Here are ten tips you want to follow when choosing a pet :

1. Never buy a pet from reckless dealers who keep large numbers of animals caged together.

2. Check the facilities where the animal was kept before being sold. If the animal was kept in bad conditions, it is likely
The animal was also treated the same way.

3. Work out what care has been provided to the animals before being sold. It is important a approved vet was
in a position to assess these animals.

4. Research about the sort of pet you are buying for your child. Know the diseases your pet might be at the mercy of. Know
The diet, shelter, and proper care the pet will require. Reading up before purchase is a good idea, so that you can prepare for
The things you’ll be getting into.

5. Clean the pet’s shelter properly each day.

6. Have a professional vet inspect the pet before handing it over to your child.

7. Give the pet regular baths. The kid will be in touch with the pet often , and what the pet gets into the child also
Gets into.

8. Teach your children the habit of washing their hands before and after handling their pet.

9. Be recent with all shots and checkups your vet recommends. Keep the kid away from the pet, if they
seem to be sick. Contact the veterinarian straight away.

10. Teach the kid to deal with the pets properly and carefully. Pets may react violently to protect themselves. Make sure
The child doesn’t squeeze it too tightly, pull on its extremities, perturb, shake, or tease it pointlessly.

These ten tips are in no way all the stuff you must be aware of. Different pets have different rules you must be mindful of about handling and caring for them. You want to include your child in the learning process where possible so they understand why those rules are required. Read up on the pet you are bringing into your house and spend a little time discussing your questions and concerns with your vet.

Similar to leaving your child at home some may even have pets at home that are left alone when the owners go to work. Pets also need attention and love to be poured by someone. The only solution to get rid of this problem is to seek help from the pet daycare service. Keeping such things in mind there are pet day care centers organized by many people. They will feed, groom, train and play with them in the absence of the owners.

The pet day care is divided into two different categories: actual day care and boarding services. Boarding services are open to animals from horses to hamsters. Usually, the pets whose owners are away for a long time are taken care of. The duration varies widely from even overnight to a period of six months or even more. Such day cares are approached if there is a lack of space at home for large animals like horses and others. They are provided with toys, feeding dishes and sleeping space.

Unlike this there are even pets that are left alone only during the working hours of the owner. For such cases there pet day care centers that function for these kind of animals every day. The pets are left in these centers and are later picked up after their work. Usually they are mainly opened to small dogs and sometimes other animals. As usual feeding bowls, toys and bedding are provided by the organizers. At certain doggy day cares exclusively for dogs they are trained by staffs for better health management, safety and for good dog behavior.

Usually the puppies are taken care of separately away from the older ones. Puppies are given special attention providing them a separate area. They are given the basic training and are always kept active and playful. There is always time allotted for naps and play. Basically doggy day care centers have many features and the best day care suited to us can be chosen.

These days the current trend is day care for pet spas. The focus is basically on smaller animals. Here they are exercised, pampered and groomed in the similar manner as done to humans when they visit a spa. Their hair, teeth, nails and ears are taken care of and they are massaged, walked and played with. They have trained staffs to take over these tasks. These services are exclusively for small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats. Even overnight stays are provided along with boarding facilities. There are do-it-yourself centers where the owners have to train and groom their own pets to increase the bond between them. The spa provides the necessary space and also shampoo, grooming equipments, wash basin and nail clippers. They can serve the best for such animals.

Time Out Mats, Mom Approved, Nanny Approved, Kid Approved

The term “Time Out” is getting lots of attention especially with the approval of the ABC popular television show, Super Nanny. She wholeheartedly promotes the use of the Time Out concept as do many leading child psychologists. In our family, Time Out is either on a step or in the corner, but why not choose a stylish canvas mat to be the “spot” and maybe ease the bite a little. We suggest following up a ‘time out’ with a ‘time in’ that might make the medicine a little easier to swallow.

When it comes to adopting pets, there are many options. People have different reasons for adopting a pet, and often this reason influences where they look for their new friend. For some people, whether the animal is a purebred or not is important, so they will pursue breeders. Others are interested in saving an animal from the fate of a life without a loving family. These people will typically search animal rescue organizations or animal shelters. Both purebred and mixed breed animals can be found at these organizations, as well as older animals and animals that need special care. This guide will help you explore your options when considering the adoption of a new family pet.

Choosing a Breeder

You’ve decided that it’s time for your family to have a brand new pet. Everyone is ready to play with it, feed it, clean it, and care for it every day. You know that you want a purebred, and you’ve researched the genetic and behavioral disposition of every breed, and you know the breed that’s best for your family and your lifestyle. The final step is to find a good breeder.

First, avoid pet stores. It is a known fact that most pets that are offered in pet stores come from mass breeding facilities more commonly known as “puppy farms” or “pet farms.” This is not a business practice that you want to support. It’s best to do the ethical thing and avoid them at all cost.

There are several methods you can use to evaluate breeders. Initially, obtain a list of referrals of reputable breeders from your veterinarian or local dog shows. Always visit where the breeder raises the dogs or cats, and bring the following checklist in order to determine whether the breeder is a good one.

Does the breeder:

Raise the animals in a home, as part of a family?

Have animals that appear healthy and excited when visitors arrive?

Maintains a clean area where the animals are raised?

Shows you the animals parents when you visit?

Knowledgeable about the breed?

Can produce records of veterinary visits for the animals?

Provides references?

Offers guidance for caring for your new pet and for the particular breed?

Purebred Rescue

An even better option than buying a new animal from a breeder, is to invest in saving a purebred living at a purebred rescue group. Purebred breeding groups are wonderful organizations that accept purebred animals that are typically abandoned, found as strays, or from local animal shelters. Purebred rescue organizations typically have a great deal of knowledge about the breed they work with, and usually offer a great deal of guidance for adoptive families.

When you purchase a purebred from a rescue group, you can feel good about having saved an animal from living a life without a loving family. You can find local rescue groups in your area through the newspaper classified section. A great resource for rescuing purebred dogs is to search through the contact list at the American Kennel Club. Another great resource for both cats and dogs is AllAboutDogsandCats.com, which provides a list of hundreds of national breed rescue clubs and organizations.

Animal Shelters

An animal shelter is the best source where you can find a family pet. Family shelters are home to many wonderful animals who mostly are only there because of the humans who previously owned them, not for any fault of their own. Often life changes, unrealistic expectations, or other reasons force families to give up their animals to animal shelters. Half of these animals end up euthanized because there simply isn’t enough space. This is why, obtaining your family pet from an animal shelter is the greatest thing you can do, and it is something you can feel very good about.

It is a common misconception that the animals at animal shelters are all mixed-breeds, poorly behaved, or poorly kept. While this may hold true for a minority of them, many of the animals found at shelters around the country are actually purebreds, nicely kept, and very well behaved. Many shelters even offer adoption counseling, training classes, and even discounted or free neutering. Some great resources to locate animal shelters around the country include Pets 911, 1-800-Save-A-Pet, or Petfinder. Another good resource is the classified section of your local newspaper, or the yellow pages under “Animal Shelters”.

A Pet Portrait of Your New Pet

Once you discover that special pet that will become your friend for life, there is no better way to celebrate than to commemorate the beauty and overwhelming “cuteness” of your new family friend with a painted pet portrait.

Pet portraits are sweeping the country as a very popular form of recognizing how much your animal friend means to you and your family. Pet portraits can be especially meaningful because when you see a pet portrait on the wall, it is a statement that this animal isn’t just “another animal”, but it shows that your pet is a loved and cherished member of the family.

The best pet portraits in the country are created by artist Nikky Hughes of Los Angeles. Nikky was classically trained at the Mission Renaissance art school, and she focuses on capturing not only the beauty, but the unique character of each animal. Her artwork is soft and romantic, and a portrait of your pet by Nikky will become a family heirloom for many generations.

First of all i would like to announce that the statics shows that According to the Humane Society, 33% of U.S. households own at least one cat, and 39% own at least one dog, which means thats pets is something important in our life and we do care about them.

So pet supplies is something that we will all need, i am going to discuss the most important things that all pets need to live a happy,healthy and good life.

Food:

is the most important thing to make your pet alive,but after a long experience i got From my Dog “Romyo” that the food that we eat will not make your pet healthy because your dog needs alot of vitamins and specific amount of protein and carbohydrates that you can not balance in that food, so i prefer Dry Food because its ingredients contains every single thing your pet need and balanced that will not your pet FAT or also THIN, but my advice to you before buying Dry Food you have to read its ingredients!

To make sure that your pet is going to have the perfect amount of vitamins, protein etc.., and i am going to list the best ingredients your pet needs

Ingredients
Chicken, Organic Barley, Organic Oats, Organic Peas, Chicken Meal, Organic Sorghum, Organic Soybean Meal, Chicken Fat (Naturally Stabilized With Mixed Tocopherols [A Source of Vitamin E]), Organic Brown Rice, Organic Millet, Organic Rice, Organic Flax Seed, Dicalcium Phosphate, Organic Carrots, Chicken Liver, Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Dried Kelp, Parsley, Zinc Amino Acid Complex (Source of Chelated Zinc), Choline Chloride, Iron Amino Acid Complex (Source of Chelated Iron), Vitamin E Supplement, Rosemary Extract, Manganese Amino Acid Complex (Source of Chelated Manganese), Lecithin, Copper Amino Acid Complex (Source of Chelated Copper), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin A Acetate, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Ascorbic Acid (Source of Vitamin C), Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamin Hydrochloride, Biotin, Cobalt Proteinate (Source of Chelated Cobalt), Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide (Source of Iodine), Vitamin K Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Dehydrated Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dehydrated Bacillus Subtilis Fermentation Product, Dehydrated Bifidobacterium Thermophilus Fermentation Product, Dehydrated Bifidobacterium Pseudolongum Fermentation Product, Dehydrated Enterococcus Faecium Fermentation Product

Thats the best Ingredients i found on a product.

Skin Care:

The Skin of your pet is very important and you should take care for it because if its gone bad it will be hard to be good again , but its easy to provide this DO NOT FEED YOUR PET ANY FOOD CONTAINS SUGAR this is a mistake that most of the people do, and also dry food contains AMINO that will help to make your pet skin shiny.

Treats:

Treats is Highly Recomended to train your dog, its really helpfull to use when training your pet and it will make the training easy for you and happily for your pet, Do not train your dog more than 45 MINUETS per day to make it fun class for your not a boring .

Common, Everyday Products Can Harm. . .Even Kill Your Animals!

We wash them, we comb them and we protect them from insects. . . but who is protecting our four-footed friends from our devotion? Commonly used products – from shampoos and conditioners to fly spray and tick collars used to keep away bugs contain sometimes lethal doses of chemicals that can impair and even kill your animals. There is no watchdog agency regulating the topical products you use on your pets and horses. Seems ironic, but according to the FDA, this effort was ceded back to an industry oversight group in the 1930’s and hasn’t changed since.

Everyday household products can be deadly.

Not long ago, KATU 2 in Portland, Oregon, reported on an accident involving a dog and common detergent. A woman said her dog suffered serious chemical burns from a product most people would consider harmless. The owner didn’t think it was harmful so she didn’t have it locked away.

Now, you wouldn’t think laundry soap could be harmful to your pet just by getting on their skin. But this Basset Hound’s misadventure is a warning to all pet owners. She had a skin reaction all over the bottom of her body according to Veterinarian Chuck Hawkins. A bottle of liquid detergent was on the floor near the cage. Somehow the dog got to it and got the lid off. After perhaps hours of lying in the liquid detergent, the dog was found bleeding and in pain.

The only warning on the label was: ‘keep out of reach of children and to flush with water if it gets in your eyes.’ While neither the veterinarian NOR the pet owner had an ingredient list available, what YOU should know is that many soaps use inexpensive synthetic chemicals to formulate their products and MANY OF THEM COULD BE CONSIDERED HARMFUL to humans as well as animals.

Soaps often include ingredients like Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) – an inexpensive agent that creates the sudsing action in soap. It’s known to interfere with memory and optimal brain functioning. So, if you think your pet is disobedient and seems distracted or distraught after that wonderful suds-filled bath, it may be the soap that you used ALL OVER his body.

Many soaps and air fresheners include synthetic fragrances to mask odors on clothes, in hair and on your pet’s body. Synthetic fragrances are NOT BIODEGRADABLE and they do not have to be listed on a label according to the FDA. Many of these chemicals are carcinogenic or otherwise toxic. They typically float in the air about 12” off the floor – where babies and pets are most likely to spend their days walking or crawling through the toxins.

What should YOU DO to keep your animals safe?

The most important thing we can do is to begin reading labels and selecting ToxicFree® products whenever we can. Remember that the skin is the largest organ in the body. . .and readily absorbs toxins from the air and from topical products we apply. So it’s a priority to choose safe products to put on your pets’ skin since they will absorb ingredients we lather over their entire body.

•Avoid laundry detergent and household cleaning products that have fragrances or scented pet

shampoos. According to the FDA, even “fragrance-free” or “unscented” products often contain

fragrance chemicals.

•Treat household products as dangerous to animals. . .in the house and in the barn. Place

them safely out of reach.

•Avoid laundry products with ‘brighteners’ or ‘foam boosters’. These optical brightening

chemicals are extremely dangerous . . .According to a number of studies, if we were to flush

an untreated laundry tub of water filled with optical brightening soap residue into a stream, it would kill off the fish in the stream.

•Avoid sanitizers or deodorizers with fragrance or triclosan. The EPA registers triclosan as a pesticide and recent reports from the CDC and research universities have voiced concern about Triclosan creating classes of ‘super bugs’. . .bacteria that is immune to current

antibiotics.

Research studies are beginning to shed light on hormone disrupting chemicals and other toxins in our everyday skin, hair and personal care products – and the picture is disturbing! A recent report published in 2007 shows over 90% of water samples in the San Francisco Bay area were highly contaminated with several hormone disrupting chemicals.
