Pet Carrier – How to Make Your Pet Comfortable in the Pet Carrier

- by Elbrock Sodherock

Being enclosed in small space for years might be physically and mentally disturbing, this applies to people humans as well as for your dog. So how long can it remain comfortable within a pet carrier? It depends on the form of carrier you’ve chosen for your pet.

Pets tend to feel scared inside an enclosed space, even though most carriers have all the features that can help them stay inside comfortably. Most from the carriers are provided with soft lining, airy wire meshing, easily opening shutters, etc. However, after some time your canine friend is likely to feel tired and longing to exercise those cramped muscles.

When driving your vehicle, try and give your pet a tiny walk every 2-3 hours, this will likely simply help your dog to relieve itself. Instead of giving your dog food in a moving car, you can give your pet some food during these breaks. It simply helps the dog to eat at ease. A 10 – 15-minute break is sufficient for your dog or pet to chill and return to the carrier.

Pet carriers are of types; some of these are made of solid plastic and contain enough aeration so your dog doesn’t …

Where to Buy Gerbils - How To Choose A Healthy Pet

Many people wonder where to buy gerbils in order to ensure that they end with up a healthy pet. The simple answer is that you should buy these small animals from a person or establishment that you trust.

Begin with a visit to your local pet store. If the business is well-established and has been around for several years, it is a good bet that it will provide healthy animals. Make sure the store is clean and that it doesn’t smell bad. Of course, any place that houses lots of animals will smell a little but the odor should not hit you in the face the minute you open the door.

If you’re not comfortable with a local pet store, there are gerbil breeders. Many people who wonder where to buy gerbils find that referrals from other gerbil owners will lead them to reputable breeders. If you don’t know anyone who keeps these amazing animals as pets, try checking with the local gerbil club. Gerbil clubs bring together people who love and appreciate these little rodents. Local breeders are also often members of such clubs.

In fact, breeders are probably your safest option when it comes to buying healthy pets, …

6 Questions To Consider When Getting That First Dog And Its Pet Accessories Online

Dogs are the most popular pet in the world, and for good reason.  There are few things in life that compare to the joy and pleasure of owning a well-behaved and lovable dog.

The love and affection shown by a dog is extraordinary because it has no reservations and no limits.  A dog’s main goal in life is to please its master(s) and a dog is never embarrassed or ashamed to show how it feels.  They exhibit extraordinary loyalty to their masters, even defending them to the death if necessary.  Dogs have been known to spend weeks or months grieving or even die from grief when their master is taken from them.

This bond between a dog and its master(s) is not automatic.  There are many things that have to fall into place before such a relationship can develop.  For one, you as an owner must be willing to take the necessary steps to create an atmosphere where the bonding can develop.  Second, you must choose a dog that has the proper temperament to develop in the home you are providing.

Here are some questions to consider when acquiring that first dog:

Do you want a puppy or a more …

Most of the pet lovers, no matter how much they would love to keep and take care of a pet, end up not taking any at all. It’s either because it is difficult to be maintained or they live in the city where having another mouth to feed is extremely difficult. But now, with a lot of cross breeding conducted by the genius geneticists in the world today, they managed to create a new breed that fits perfectly with your city life; the teacup poodle.

Teacup poodle is a very small dog, which grows up to only nine inches, smaller than the average standard toy poodle and under six pounds in weight. They are given the name teacup poodle since they are usually packaged in a teacup, having them fit in there perfectly.

Teacup poodles are intelligent, as they are highly responsive to their masters and can be easily trained. They are sweet, cheerful and lively dogs who love to be with people. Despite their sweet and friendly nature, they also make good watchdogs, who will snap if they are teased or surprised. These sweet creatures are long lived, yet could be subjected to many genetic diseases, so …

Chickens for Pets?

We never thought that keeping chickens would be as easy as it really is and how attached you can become to your first batch. One day last July we stopped at our local FarmPlus store and they happened to have four Comet sexlink chickens in a cage outside the door. Our grandson was fascinated with them. At about sixteen weeks old they were very active but made no move to peck him when he put his hand in the cage to pet them. They had their beaks clipped so at best they could only bump your hand. At six years old, our grandson is into just about everything and instantly wanted the chickens. We asked the price and were told since they were the last four they had, we could buy them for six dollars each. After a little discussion, the chickens were placed in a box, loaded in the car and home we went.

Arriving home where our other two grandchildren were waiting for us, they could not wait to see what was in the big box their little brother had brought home. Since we had made absolutely no preparations for the chickens, that afternoon was a …
