  1. What's a great Valentine's Day present for your pet? Candy is definitely out -- chocolate is poisonous to dogs and cats, and hard candy can cause bowel obstructions. Ditto with flowers -- many are poisonous to cats and dogs. Instead, why not give your pet a healthy smile? February isn't just the month celebrating Valentine's Day, it's also National Pet Dental Health Month. While the American Dental Association estimates that about 80 percent of us brush our own teeth at least twice a day, most of us completely neglect our pets' teeth. The fact is, animals have teeth that must be maintained, just like our own teeth. And just like us, dogs and cats can suffer with gingivitis or periodontal disease. "There are many symptoms of dental disease to watch out for, including bad, almost putrid, breath," explains Dr. James Cook, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. "Your pet could be in a lot of pain, and you might not realize it. For example, if you see your pet approach a bowl of food then back away, that could be a sign of tooth pain. Your animal can't tell you he or she is suffering or in pain, so it's important to get your pet's teeth checked by your veterinarian."
  2. Shopping can be lots of fun, or it can be no fun at all, depending on what you're doing. Whenever you run errands, shopping isn't usually too thrilling, and you aren't along if you want to get that kind of shopping with as soon as possible. If, however, you're doing fun shopping, you want the trip to be fun and stress free, so you can fully enjoy your shopping. Regardless of what kind of shopping you're doing, you should know to always leave your pet at home. Pets can really just throw off your shopping groove, and make everything more frustrating and time consuming.
  3. Here are list of some of the important pet rabbit supplies you must provide to your rabbit 1. You must provide them shelter thus choosing the right kind and size of cages and hutch is very important. You should choose bigger cages for your rabbit so they can have enough room to move around thus making their rest time also comfortable. 2. Make sure their pooping training products have drainage on it so it will be much easier to clean the pans after they deposit their droppings on it. 3. Have all the essential feeding supplies such as water bottles and feeders. 4. Buy their grooming supplies such as brushes, nail clippers, towels and such to make sure you have all the supplies when you need it. 5. Make sure you also buy the best and durable travel supplies you need for your rabbits such as harness, leash and carriers. See to it that these products will bring comfort to your rabbit. 6. There are many toys for rabbits in the market today and you can have a hard time when choosing which one because of its colorful arrays and designs. Cuteness is only your second consideration when choosing toys for your pet rabbit. Your first and foremost thing to consider is if these toys are free form any chemicals that may hurt your rabbit such as lead.
  4. Before you trim your dog's nails you will need some supplies. First, purchase quality nail clippers that are intended for use on dogs. Dog nail clippers come in different sizes so make sure that you get the ones appropriate for the size of your dog. Nail clippers sized for small dogs like a Chihuahua will be totally ineffective on a large breed such as a Rottweiler. You should also have on hand some cotton balls, cotton swabs or clean towel in case you cut your dog's nails too short and they begin to bleed. Before you begin, examine your dog's nails to determine the appropriate length to cut. The top side of the nail will be smooth and curved downward and the underside will be slightly concave and v-shaped. Next, locate the quick which is the sensitive flesh inside the nail. The quick will be easy to see if your dog's nails are white or lightly colored and more difficult if they are dark or black. To locate the quick in dark colored nails, determine from the underside of the nail where the flesh ends. Looking at the underside of the nail you will only want to trim the part that is hollow. Put the clippers around the dog's nails allowing enough space so that you don’t cut the quick. When you are sure you are far enough from the quick squeeze the clippers and - voila! Note that if your dog's nails have not been trimmed in a while, the quick may be very close to the end. In this case you cannot trim the dog's nails immediately to an appropriate length. Trim as much as possible and then let them grow for a couple of weeks and trim them again. After regular trimming the quick will recede and they will reach a more manageable length. If you happen to trim your dog's nails too short and they begin to bleed, you have cut the quick. Don’t feel too bad though; even veterinarians and experienced groomers accidentally cut the quick on a dog's nails from time to time. If this happens, the nail will bleed a lot but it is not a serious injury. Use cotton swabs or balls to apply pressure to the nail to help stop the bleeding if your dog will allow it. Cutting your dog's nails too short will be painful for him and may cause him to distrust you in future nail trimming sessions. If you cut the quick, it’s a good idea to stop trimming the rest of the nails and give your dog some time to recover.

  6. 1.Check the tank for leaks. 2.Clean the tank with a solution of 1 tsp. pure bleach for every 5 gallons of water. Scrub the tank, plastic plants, decorations and rocks. Rinse everything thoroughly several times with clean water. 3.Install the filtration system. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully since models vary in their installation. 4.Wash the substrate thoroughly before you put it in the tank. Figure on 1 lb. of gravel per gallon the tank holds. 5.Put the plants in, anchoring the bottoms in the substrate. 6.Fill a large bucket with clean, dechlorinated water. 7.Using a hydrometer (a device used to read how much salt is dissolved in the water), add salt. Your goal is a specific gravity between 1.020 and 1.023. 8.Fill your tank with the saltwater, leaving about an inch at the top. 9.Start the filter system. 10.Add the heater and thermometer. Most marine fish do best between 75 and 80 degrees. 11.Let everything run for at least 72 hours and get the temperature settings right and the water moving. 12.Cycle the aquarium. A just-set-up fish tank lacks the bacteria that it needs to form a steady biological cycle. 13.Add your fish when the chemical levels are all okay and the tank temperature is within suggested limits. 14.Buy a powerhead. In saltwater aquariums, water movement is an absolute must. Be careful not to get one so big that it causes a whirlpool effect. 15.Get a protein skimmer, which is a necessity for marine tanks. This removes organic debris from the water before it has time to convert to nitrates. 16.Keep in mind that you'll also need an external water pump and possibly an air pump for your skimmer.
  7. Many people wonder why bird poop is white. The reason bird poop is the white color it is instead of brown like most other animals has to do with the fact that birds, unlike mammals do not urinate. Their kidneys excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form of uric acid. Uric acid has a low solubility with water, so it comes out as a white paste. This excrement, as well as the output of the intestines, emerges from what is called the cloaca. The cloaca is a multi-purpose hole for birds: their wastes come out of it, they have sex by putting their cloacas together, and females lay eggs out of it. There may be an actual use for bird poop however. Some spas use it as an ingredient in their facials. In addition to a bunch of cleansers, one spa in Hawaii includes a quarter teaspoon of dehydrated nightingale droppings. Does it work? The owner says at first the clients are skeptical. I would be too if I was paying $200 to smear bird poop on my face. But clients seem to be happy with the results. So, what exact is in bird poop that would make it useful for a facial? The reason it may work is that it has a high concentration of urea. This is because bird don't urinate and their poop is a mixture of pee and poop. There are certain properties that make urine a skin softening agent.
  8. There are many kinds of feeds available to attract birds. You can buy mixes or single types of feeds at supermarkets, livestock feed stores, garden supply stores, or through catalogs. The particular type of mix you put out influences the number and variety of birds that will use feeding places. Until recently, there has been little scientific information to guide the selection of bird feeds. Now we know much better what feeds attract or fail to attract different kinds of birds to feeders. This information on relative attractiveness of bird feeds is based on 710,450 observations of birds choosing between two or more feeds at experimental feeders in Maryland, California, Ohio, and Maine. In these studies, black-striped sunflower and white prove millet (s and p following the bird names in Table 1) were used as standards. All other feeds were presented at experimental feeding tables along with one or both of these standards to measure relative attractiveness. The work was done under the direction of the Urban Wildlife Research Program of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. However, the bulk of observations were made by volunteers.
  9. 1)Your pet hermit crab may find it a bit boring to be alone inside a fish tank as you keep it in your home. Giving them a companion is a good option but if you can only take care of one, spending time with land hermit crabs like playing with them is very appropriate. Hermit crabs, just like dogs, want attention too. 2)Hermit crabs as pets will most likely not become capable of mating as they would need to go back to sea to lay their eggs. This is one reason why some do not advise hermit crabs to be kept aspets. 3)In contradiction to the second hermit crab facts, hermit crabs as pets can be kept for more than a year or two. As for others, they have been taking care of hermit crabs as pets for around 20 years now. 4)Hermit crabs are good climbers meaning, they love to climb. As pet owners of hermit crabs, it is best to provide a hermit crab cage where they can cling on or some drift wood inside their tank so that they can go in and out of the water every once in a while. 5)If for example you sleep early at night and in the morning, when you wake up, you always find your pet hermit crab to lie low or inactive, do not panic. Your pet hermit crab is not homesick. It is normal for hermit crabs to be inactive during day time because they are nocturnal. You will find them more active during night time. 6)Were you ever curious how hermit crabs take a drink? This is a little interesting to see and observe. Hermit crabs dip their claws into the water then lift out drops of it to go down their gills and mouth. Talk about drinking as if there was a glass of water. 7)The one peculiar thing that hermit crabs do that still is under research is that they croak. Some perceive it as a means for communication. Still, this action done by hermit crabs is still unsolved.
  10. There are many things that can cause your kitty to have a seizure. One of the first things you should do is evaluate your cat’s diet. Regular cat food that you buy at the grocery or local big box store contains chemicals, coloring agents, stabilizers and fillers that aren’t good for cats. Sodium nitrate, which commonly used in dry cat food, has been shown in clinical trials to cause seizures in cats that are similar to epileptic attacks. Your local health food store carries natural cat food. Online, Only Natural Pet Store is a great source of additive-free cat food. Many household cleaners and floor polishes contain chemicals which can damage your kitty’s nervous system, as well as causing cancer, heart disease, and liver problems. Keep your kitty in another well-ventilated room or outside when you’re using these products. You may want to consider using “green” products to protect your health too. Other causes of seizures include: * A condition similar to a stroke in which the blood supply to your cat’s brain is restricted. This is the cause of about 20% of seizures in cats. * A severe parasite infestation, especially if her immune system is stressed * Liver or kidney problems * Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar * Thyroid problems * Feline diabetes * Cancer, including brain tumors and lymphoma * A head injury * Lead poisoning * Certain infections, including feline infectious peritonitis, feline leukemia virus, and feline immune-deficiency virus can cause frequent seizures. Cryptococcosis, a fungal infection that appears first in the lungs and spreads to the nervous system, and rabies can also cause seizures.
  11. Here I'm also sharing With You Some of The Important Facts of Zebra Every zebra has a unique pattern of stripes. Grevy's Zebras are endangered due to poachers and loss of habitat. Zebras have excellent eyesight, hearing and a keen sense of smell. It is believed that zebras see in color. Zebras are smaller than a horse. They have a short mane and large ears. Like horses a male zebra is called a stallion. A female zebra is referred to as a mare. Zebras will kick and bite when attacked. A kick from a zebra can be fatal. Zebras sleep standing up. They will only sleep when neighbors are around to warn them of predators. If there are no neighbors present in the area one member of the zebra family will remain awake to stand watch while the others sleep. Zebras are capable of running up to 40 miles per hour. Zebras communicate with each other through a high-pitched barking vocalization. Zebras make a whinny sound similar to a donkey. The average lifespan of zebras are 20 to 30 years in the wild although they may live up to 40 years in captivity. The Quagga Zebra, a subspecies of the Plains Zebra is now extinct. Zebras feed mainly on grasses but also eat shrubs, twigs, leaves and bark. They are quite dependent on water and need to drink daily. Female zebras can produce one foal per year. A single young weighing 65 to 75 pounds is born after a gestation period of one year. The Mountain Zebra is the smallest species of zebra. Zebra foals are born brown and white instead of black and white. The different species of zebras do not interbreed. The Mountain Zebra is currently protected is national parks but remains listed as endangered.

  13. When a pet dies, you must choose how to handle its remains. Sometimes, in the midst of grief, it may seem easiest to leave the pet at the clinic for disposal. Check with your clinic to find out whether there is a fee for such disposal. Some shelters also accept such remains, though many charge a fee for disposal. If you prefer a more formal option, several are available. Home burial is a popular choice, if you have sufficient property for it. It is economical and enables you to design your own funeral ceremony at little cost. However, city regulations usually prohibit pet burials, and this is not a good choice for renters or people who move frequently. To many, a pet cemetery provides a sense of dignity, security, and permanence. Owners appreciate the serene surroundings and care of the gravesite. Cemetery costs vary depending on the services you select, as well as upon the type of pet you have. Cremation is a less expensive option that allows you to handle your pet's remains in a variety of ways: bury them (even in the city), scatter them in a favorite location, place them in a columbarium, or even keep them with you in a decorative urn (of which a wide variety are available). Check with your veterinarian, pet shop, or phone directory for options available in your area. Consider your living situation, personal and religious values, finances, and future plans when making your decision. It's also wise to make such plans in advance, rather than hurriedly in the midst of grief.
  14. 1)Get together a few items your dog might like to chew on, your clicker and some good treats like cheese or turkey. 2)Have a piece of food ready in your other hand as you encourage your dog to chew on one of the objects 3)Try to get her to pick up the object again so you can continue practicing, but beware that once your dog knows there are treats involved she may want to keep her mouth free for eating! 4)Repeat the process in #2 exactly, but this time you will be sneaky and won't actually have the treat in the hand that you put close to her nose ("empty fingers"). 5)Get your hard chew again and some really fresh yummy treats (meat or cheese). 6)Practice the "drop it" with real-life objects around that she enjoys but are not allowed such as [URL=http://www.petexpress.co.uk]Pet accessories[/URL]
  15. Pets also carry certain bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can cause illness if transmitted to humans. Humans get these animal-borne diseases when they're bitten or scratched or have contact with an animal's waste, saliva, or dander. These diseases can affect humans in many ways. They're of greatest concern to young children, infants, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems have been compromised by illness or disease. Infants and kids younger than 5 years old are at risk because their immune systems are still developing, and some infections that might make an adult just mildly sick can be more serious for them. Healthy Family, Healthy Pets But you don't have to give up your family's furry friends either. Pets can enrich your family life, and taking a few precautions can protect your kids from getting sick. Protecting your family from pet-related infections begins before bringing a pet home. For instance, reptiles and amphibians should not be allowed as pets in any household with infants and young children. Also consider the health and age of your kids before getting a pet. A pet that would require frequent handling is not recommended for any immunocompromised child (such as a child who has HIV, has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, or uses prednisone frequently). Kids with eczema should probably avoid aquariums. [URL=http://www.petexpress.co.uk]Pet accessories[/URL]
