Luxury Pet Carriers

Why buy a luxury pet carrier? Well, there are lots of reasons but most importantly because our pets are an important part of our lives. In fact surveys by the Delta Society, a Washington state group that studies the bond between humans and animals, show that people think of their cats, dogs and birds as family members. A survey by the American Animal Hospital Association showed that 56 percent of pet people surveyed were willing to risk their own lives for their pets and 64 percent were confident their pet would come to their rescue

Dog Collars

by Susie

This site primarily focuses on all things cat, but since it’s not uncommon to have both cats and dogs in the same household, I have a couple of articles relating to dogs, like this one.

To start with, the weight and width of the collar should be proportional to your dog’s size. You also want to make sure the dog collar fits you and your dog’s day to day needs. Small dogs will have much different needs than large dogs. If you have a large dog that tends to lunge when he gets excited you’ll need to take this into consideration when looking at collars.

No-Pull Dog Harness

by Susie

Walking a dog can be more difficult than fun if the dog pulls or drags you behind, but with a no-pull dog harness walking can become more fun again. These harnesses are specifically designed to stop pulling and make it easier to walk your dog. Most of them are also designed to put pressure on the chest instead of the trachea so the walk is more comfortable for your dog as well.

With so many choices available it can be difficult to know which collars are best. Besides having a collar that looks nice you need a collar that is safe and one that will help you maintain better control of your dog without causing pain or other possible negative side effects that can come with some dog training collars.

Pet Identification Tags

by Susie

Once you’ve found the perfect cat collar you probably want to start looking at pet identification tags. If you’ve already started looking for a pet id tag then you know there is a wide selection available making it easy to find the right name tag for any size and any personality of pet.

You may think your cat doesn’t need an identification tag because he or she is an indoor cat. I have known other people who have felt that way… until they unexpectedly lost their beloved buddy. A few of those people were lucky enough to be reunited with their pet, but unfortunately that’s not always the case.

Anitra Frazier & The New Natural Cat

by Susie

Years ago Frazier worked for a vet who sent her to homes to groom cats. While she was grooming she noticed a host of problems from dull coats to allergies, eating disorders and communication problems. By working with the vet, paying close attention to the cats and working with the cat’s parents she started finding solutions to some the problems she was coming across.

Her book, The New Natural Cat, has been an important resource guide for many cat parents, especially those who are open to an alternative approach to caring for their companion. The updated version discusses all aspects of caring for a cat including feeding a natural or holistic cat food.
