Pet Products

August 18, 2008

To animal lovers, pets bring that extra something into their lives. Dogs, cats, and fish account for a large percentage of the pet population, and owners today frequently go shopping for products to keep them happy. Toys, crates for traveling, kennels for outdoor living, medicines for all animal illnesses, grooming aids, leashes, harnesses, collars, and training aids - the list of pet products is endless.

There are a variety of shops and websites where everything related to pets is sold. PetSmart, Mammoth Dog Beds, Pet Food Direct, Jeffers Pet, Petco, Pets’ Warehouse, and Petscriptions are some of the outlets that provide healthy food options, supplements, and other pet care articles. Even the exasperating chore of bathing or washing your pet is made easy with pet-washing stations being introduced at various public places like shopping centers, service centers, etc. Spain has taken the lead with over 200 such stations and other countries like France, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, New Zealand and Japan are following at a brisk pace.

Research has found that people who keep pets tend to lead a happy existence, simply because of the fact that the added responsibility of caring for animals gets them up and moving, often giving them their required exercise. By itself, the very act of petting animals shows a remarkable change in the blood pressure and heart rate of humans, which goes a long way in ensuring better and healthier living for the pet owner. Pets tend to shower their owners with unconditional love and that goes a long way to emotional fulfillment.

Large Extreme KONG

August 16, 2008

Large Extreme KONG
Kong’s exclusive black natural rubber formula is the world’s strongest dog toy rubber! It’s now being used by powerful chewers around the world like police K-9 teams, drug enforcement and military K-9 teams, AKC competition trainers, Shutzhund Clubs and more. It is puncture resistant, super bouncy, and chewer friendly. It is unmatched for resilience, durability, and bounce. Kong satisfies a dog’s natural need to chew and also cleans teeth and conditions gums. The thick, flexible walls keep springing back for more! Kong rubber is non-toxic, nonabrasive, non-splintering, and does not get sharp when chewed. Kong toys are enthusiastically used and recommended by veterinarians, trainers, dog professionals and satisfied customers world wide. Made in the USA. For Maximum Safety: 1. Supervise use. 2. Inspect toy frequently. 3. Remove damaged toy. Important Safety Information: No dog toy is indestructible! All dogs have powerful jaw muscles and sharp teeth. Most dogs chew 40 to 60 times per minute with a force of 1,200 to 1,500 pounds per square inch. Kongs are safe, beneficial toys designed by people who know and love dogs, but ultimately, your dog’s safety is your responsibility. Every dog is a unique individual and no one can predict how long a Kong will last with your dog. Note: If your dog destroys a Kong in a short period of time, it is probably too small. Regular use of a Kong by your dog will increase jaw strength, so you may eventually need to provide larger red or black Kong

Misc.: 
The ultra-strong, black rubber compound is recommended for power chewers. Supervised use is strongly recommended for power chewers., Perfect for stuffing with KONG Treats and ZIGGIES., Used worldwide by police, drug enforcement and military K-9 teams, as well as Schutzhund and AKC competition trainers., Please see chart for proper size and rubber formula., Made in the USA with Natural Rubber

Our Pets

August 11, 2008

Having a pet is an experiance that I think everyone should have. It
reaches us on a level that few other experiances can. But, not all of
us can handle the kind of committment that is required or we just don’t
want to. Whatever it is, it is your decision for your life!

The bond between humans and their pets has always been of the
greatest interest. I had read about it and heard people talk about it
but never experianced it for myself until a few years ago. The
experiance was deep and meaningful and made me realize that taking
physical and mental care of my pet was as important as taking care of
myself! Thinking that started me on a quest to find products that would
give my pet a long and happy life. And I then found that they respond
and that deepens the bond between us.

This is a happy catch 22! I
think a lot of it is the time spent together.

Bathe your pet in products
that will make their coats shiny and their skin healthy. Groom their
coats and feed them good food. And if they become sick, look after
them and give them the medicines they need. Personally, I like to use
natural and organic products, because I find they work really well, they
don’t introduce chemicals into the system that could have bad side
effects and in the long run they aren’t as expensive. There are also
natural medicines for them just like there is for humans. Just be
informed about what you are using and what it will do.

I am a health conscious individual that spends a lot of time researching
different ways of thinking. It is important to me to think outside the
box or the matrix if you will! I do not believe and accept everything I
see, read, or hear. Some things I have found to be truths for my own
life and those things I pass on to you. My maxims are “think for
yourself” and “listen to your whole self, body, mind and soul!” I have
found that if I do those two things I am always happy! The goal of my
web site is to supply those of you that have made the choice to go
natural with quality products!

Premier Spray Sense Anti-Bark Dog Collar

August 6, 2008

Premier Spray Sense Anti-Bark Dog Collar
The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar uses patented SprayLogik technology to deliver a harmless burst of citronella spray to interrupt your dogs barking. It acts on four of your dog’s five senses - he hears it, sees it, feels it and smells it. Citronella is a unique scent that most dogs don’t normally encounter. It’s non-offensive to humans yet unusual enough to distract your dog and interrupt the unwanted behavior. Shock and ultra-sonic collars attempt to reduce barking with pain. In addition to being less effective than spray, pain often increases anxiety and aggression and makes some behavior problems worse. When to use: The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar can be used with any breed of dog that weighs 6 lbs. or more and is at least 6 months old. If your dog is smaller or younger please check first with your veterinarian. It is ideal for controlling general nuisance barking both indoors and outdoors. It is not recommended for anxiety-related barking unless specifically directed by a behavior profession. Kit contains: Spray device with on off switch, 24 in. adjustable nylon collar, Can of stain -free, hypoallergenic citronella spray, 6 volt battery, instruction guide, One year warranty. Additional sprays sold separately. Cornell University research found that 88.9% of dogs responded to The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar, while only 44.4% responded to electric shock collars.

Misc.: 
A microphone on the dog’s collar will sense barking and emit the citronella spray, It’s inoffensive to humans, yet unusual enough to distract your dog from whatever he’s barking at, Your dog will bark and receive a burst of spray, Your dog will quickly and painlessly learn that there is a consequence for barking., safe for people animals and the envirorment

Chinchillas As Pets

August 4, 2008

You may wish to consider a chinchilla as a possible pet. They are of the rodent family, (but it doesn’t seem that way).

Also known as “chins” they have incredible velvety fir, and they resemble a chubby squirrel with Mickey mouse type ears. They are nocturnal, although they do get up and play alot during the day. Chins are very smart and playful, and I’m told can be trained. They are also very clean,so their cage area doesn’t tend to stink as many other types of caged animals can.

I got my first pair of chinchillas, as adults, a proven breeding pair. They were nice enough but they never really did bond with us. We ended up having 3 litters total. They usually have 1-3 babies (also known as kits), and their pregnancy is 111 days (about 4 months), which is very long gestation period for an animal that size.

The babies are born fully formed, “ready to go” you might say. Fully furred, eyes opened, running around. They can even eat adult food almost from day 1, although they prefer to nurse.

Chinchillas eat prepared chinchilla food that comes in a pellet form. They also need 1 raisin a day (which they LOVE!). Every few days it’s a good idea to give them a dust bath. You can purchase”chinchilla dust” at a pet store. You put it in a bowl and they dive in, roll and kick up a fuss, and is pure delight to watch. Company always love to watch “Ittle bittle” take her bath.

The real joy for us came as we kept one of the babies, we later sold mom and dad. She bonded really well with us, she was handled a lot from birth on. She has been one of the BEST pets I’ve ever had (of any kind of animal). She is playful, friendly, never bites, when she “barks” its a quiet, cute kind of bark. A whole lot of personality and character she is.

Chins are more playful type pets, than a sit down lap type animal. I would recommend getting a baby if you decide to get a chinchilla. They usually run about $100. in the US for a pet, but that price can vary a lot. Try to purchase one from a reputable breeder.

Another very nice quality about chins as pets, is they have no claws or fingernails. They have these little soft pads on the bottom of their feet, so you don’t get scratched. I wouldn’t recommend them with small children however, as young children could easily hurt a chinchilla.

They have a life span of about 25-30 years. They do need to live indoors, or climate type controlled setting. Chins come in a variety of
colors but the standard gray color is the most common, and the other, more rare colors will cost more usually. Because of their very long life span, be sure you’re ready for that commitment before getting one however.

I found when I was trying to sell the babies that most people had no idea of what a chinchilla was, or had even seen them. That made it a bit difficult to find homes at times, although with such few babies,
this wasn’t a problem. The people who did come to purchase a chin had this 1 thing in common: all of them had either owned a chinchilla previously, or had a close friend who did and had been around them.
That really says something about this type of animal for a pet.

I would however, if you do decide to purchase a chinchilla, get only one and not a pair. If you have one, they bond much better to their human owner (you), than if you have a pair. That’s probably the biggest reason why the original pair never bonded much to us, because they were so closely bonded to themselves.
