Health Benefits of Owning a Pet

Did you know that there are actual health benefits for owners of pets?  I always thought that there were many benefits to having a pet in your home.  Here is a brief excerpt of an article that talks about what owning a pet can do for the health of its human owner:

Welcome to Healthypet.com!

Health Benefits of Pet Ownership      
                                                                      
In our hearts we know that pets enrich our lives, and in recent years scientific studies have begun to pin-point the ways that companion animals improve our minds and our bodies. Beyond walks and "fetch," beyond lazy days in the sun and eager faces at the end of the day, pets provide documented health benefits. A 1993 report in the Harvard Health Letter explains that companion animals have more consistent behavior compared to our human companions and that they offer unconditional affection. The effect: lower blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety level for pet owners. We repay them with love and attention. In fact, more than 60 percent of pets receive "as much attention as children," according to the 1994 American Animal Hospital Association pet owner survey. 

Pretty cool, eh?

microchip identification

Every pet owner wants to keep his or her beloved cat or dog as safe as possible. You do everything you can do make sure your pet is well cared for and healthy. If you have an indoor pet, you may not think that keeping identification tags is important, but it is. What if your fuzzy feline accidentally slips out of the door at night and you search to no avail? What do you do, especially if your dog or cat has no identification? Placing a collar with an identification tag is important, but collars sometimes become lost.  When you consider the fact that many animal shelters only keep dogs and cats for seven days, you want to make sure that your pet is properly identified. That is where the microchip comes in handy. The microchip is the newest way to identify lost pets and helps ensure that your lost pooch or feline finds his or her way back home.

The technology of the microchip has become so popular that most animal clinics and animal shelters have the ability to scan a cat or dog for microchip identification. If you opt for the microchip, you should know that it is a painless procedure for your pet. Your vet will insert a tiny microchip about the size of a grain of rice directly under your pet’s skin using a hypodermic needle. The microchip is usually placed behind the neck. The microchip contains special digital number that has been entered on a national microchip database. That information will give the person your contact information. When you pet is lost, a veterinarian or animal shelter can use a special scanner to retrieve the microchip information. It is that easy.

Pet owners love the idea of the microchip because it is permanent. You cannot remove the microchip and unlike a collar or tags, it cannot be lost or destroyed. This is one of the best features of pet microchip, especially for cats. If you place a collar on a cat, more than likely it will be a breakaway collar. If your cat climbs a tree, or is caught on something, the collar breaks off. If your cat does not have a microchip, it will be very difficult to identify your cat if it is found.

Need money to have your pet microchipped?

Exercise your Hamster

Like all pets, hamsters need exercise and entertainment to
maintain their physical and mental health. An exercise wheel
allows hamsters to run full speed to their hearts' content, but
is not as mentally stimulating as more elaborate enclosures
including additional toys such as plastic or wooden tubes
that somewhat mimic the burrows that they might have in the
wild and allow their owners to enjoy their activities. Find out more at Easy Hamster Care

Caring for a Pony during the winter

Most horse owners have started out the same way... loving and caring for ponies. Former pony owners look back on their pony owning years and a distant far away expression comes over their faces. It is nearly impossible for a horse owner not to have a pony story, some good some not so good.

For the most parts ponies are tough. They seldom seem to be struck low by the illnesses and maladies that seem to strike their larger equine counterparts. Their toughness is one of the reasons that ponies are so often a good match for children.

Pony owners who live in northern climates that keep their ponies outside during the frosty winter months have to do a few things to make sure their ponies stay sound and healthy. Find out more at Horse Accessories

Why Horse Blankets are Handy with Splints

Why Horse Blankets are Handy with Splints

What do you need for the proper care of your horse? Besides things such as horse blankets, saddles, a horse trailer, the right food, clean water, adequate housing and roaming room, a horse brush, treats, careful training, and lots of love and attention? You need veterinary care.

One of the things a horse can encounter includes something called splints. There are splint bones, not to be confused with the injury itself; however, splints do affect the area of the splint bones. There is a bone called the cannon that is affected as well. Blind splints occur between the two. These are harder to diagnose and take longer to heal.

The locations of the splint bones run alongside the cannon bone, being attached by a ligament to the cannon bone itself. The ligament is called the "interosseous ligament". Understanding the terms will help familiarize you when the vet comes to call. This is helpful especially if you are a first-time horse owner.

Litter Box Accidents

One of the main reasons why a cat begins to refuse to use the litter box is because their own litter box is dirty. Many cats are extremely fussy about the condition of their litter box, while others will use it no matter how full it looks. If your cat has a litter box accident, the first place you should check is the litter box. Some pets prefer that their litter box cleaned out after each use. While this is time consuming for you, it may be a simple fix to this problem. You should start a daily routine of cleaning out your cat box and you may find that this solves your problem.

HEALTHY FOOD FOR DOGS

How can you really be sure that the food that you are feeding your dog is truly safe for them?  You can’t, unless you make it yourself from ingredients that you know to be healthy. And that really is the bottom line.

 

I started making my own dog food several years ago because one of my dogs had auto immune issues.  The one bad thing about that was that I only had one recipe.  Not only was my dog probably getting sick and tired of eating the same food day after day after day, but also I was sick and tired of making the same food day after day after day.

 

One day I found a fantastic dog food recipe book that provided me with practically a new recipe for every day of the year.  To find out how to get this fantastic dog food recipe book please  CLICK HERE.

Puppy Training Made Easy

A review of the $7.00 Report - Puppy Training Made Easy 

Is it worth the price?    Definitely!

Puppy Training Made Easy is only $7.00 for over 60 pages of information and practical advice on how to train and socialize your puppy.

The report covers the necessary background information that you will need to understand your puppy's behaviors. This is key to being able to train your puppy successfully.

It also includes more than just training tips for puppies. For example, it mentions what to do when you are confronted with a threatening dog. Very helpful information if you have young children! This information is included, I believe, to emphasize the benefits of having a well-trained puppy and therefore, a well-trained dog. Two different methods of housebreaking a puppy are also included.

At first glance, I would have preferred to have the actual training information included near the beginning of the report. But, after reading through the introductory material, it made total sense for it to be included near the end of the report. After reading this report, I could see myself easily training a puppy (and having fun doing it)!

Puppy Training Made Easy takes the guess work out of figuring out what your puppy is thinking and gives you very practical step-by-step training methods so you can have a friendly, well-socialized puppy that grows up to be a great companion and pet.

Get it now!

More info on how to make your own pet food



In a previous post, I told about my friend's mother, who recently passed away, and how she lovingly cooked for her pet dogs every night, and fed them each by hand. Many world-famous Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and published Dog Care Experts universally agree any dog that eats commercial dog food is at a much higher risk of dying prematurely and by the time symptoms are noticeable, it's often too late to prevent an agonizing death except by lethal injection.

What Pet is Best for Your Family?

Deciding to get a pet for your family is a wonderful idea as long as you have
thought out all the details involved, considered the consequences and are
prepared to love and care for your pet.

First, think about what type of environment you have at your home and which pet
would best suit your family. For example, is your family an active one (i.e. do
you have a few toddlers and preschoolers in the mix) or is your family more
laid-back (i.e. just one child who is already a well-established teenager).

If your family enjoys peace and quiet, then consider getting a more passive type of
pet (for example, an aquarium full of fish). Or does your family thrive on excitement and chaos (or have you learned to adapt to this). Then, perhaps your family would enjoy a more active
type of pet, such as a dog.

Secondly, consider what it means to have a pet in your home. For example, if you frequently go on vacation and do not wish to have to take your pet along, then perhaps, your family needs to get a pet that can easily be taken care of by someone while you are away (i.e. hamsters).

Also, if you have just had a major change in your family (i.e. a major move or addition of a new baby ), then perhaps it would be best to wait until you have established a new routine before you acquire a new pet. Or consider a pet that would be able to stay out of baby’s way (i.e. a bird).

Finally, prepare for your new pet by getting all the necessary items and tools that you will need to make your home the best environment for your new pet. For example, read all that you can about the pet that you have decided upon. Get all the recommended supplies for your pet (i.e. carriers, brushes, food, etc.). Write up a list of expectations for everyone in your family so that the care of your pet is equally divided among your family members and people in your family know what to expect with the addition of your new pet.

You will certainly enjoy your new pet if you are thoroughly prepared and know what to expect. And, your pet will also certainly benefit from your thoughtful preparations!

Shelter and Rescue Animals

Don't forget the Shelter and Rescue Animals!

Don't overlook your local animal shelters and the animal "rescue" organizations for finding your next pet. Mutts need love too, and honestly, the best animals I've ever had, had come from shelters. And the best part about getting an animal from a shelter is...usually they have already been spayed or neutered for you! If that's something you do to your pets anyways, that alone will save you a substantial veterinarian bill!

If your taste is more breed specific, ( you HAVE to have) a specific breed, then do some online searches for rescue organizations for that particular breed.

Our next pet will probably be a rescued greyhound. We're doing some research still, but apparently, once greyhounds racing careers are over, they make darn good pets, but keep them on a leash...you'll have a hard time catching them if they see a rabbit to chase!

pet food poisonings

The rash of pet food poisonings has been linked to some sick individual at the factory putting a rat poison not normally sold in the United States into the food. Lucky for my pets, I had been thinking of treating them to some canned food, but got busy with work and forgot.

Maybe the best solution is to make your own pet food. It's easy to do. Just get giblets, hearts, gizzards, and other organ meats, cook them, and grind them up. I knew a lady who cooked for her pets every day, and then hand-fed them at dinner time. She has recently passed away, but she was a kind and gentle soul, who left dry food out for the neighborhood strays.

Really useful Tips on how to Name Your Pets

Here our some useful tips in choosing a name for your dog or cat. Please remember that the pet-name you choose will used dozens of times a day to call, praise and perhaps scold.
  • Pick a name that the pet can easily recognize. Animals respond better to one or two syllable names.
  • Choose a name that’s both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out. Calling out "Jack" or "Zoe" in the park may be far less embarrassing than calling out than "Death Breath".
  • For dogs avoid names that sound like the standard commands of No, Stay, Sit, Come, Down or Fetch. For example "Joe" is probably too close to "No". It can be difficult for dogs to tell the difference between similar sounding words.
  • If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version. A long name will inevitably be shortened, but it may ruin the effect that you were originally looking for.
  • The pet’s breed heritage can provide some useful inspiration. For example Orientals ( Siamese and Burmese) , German (Shepherds, Dachshunds and Schnauzers), French (Poodle), Scottish (Terriers), or Irish (Wolfhounds and Setters). The Human Name and Foreign Name categories may assist here.
  • Waiting a few days to study your pets behavior can help pick the right name. The Personality, Affectionate and Appearance categories may assist here.
  • Pick a name that will grow with the pet. For example "Kitten" may be less appropriate for a full grown cat.

Other than this, be adventurous!

Naming pets has far more leeway than naming children, where thought has to be given to peer group acceptance, blending first and last names and how the initials may appear.
