Always prepare ahead of time in case of emergency and have a First Aid Kit ready for your pet. Include medication, water, food and my tip, extra blankets.

If you are thinking of adopting a pet or know someone who is, visit http://humanesociety.org/adopt for all the information you will need.

Don't forget your cat on his birthday or during the holidays. Cats can appreciate a new toy or special meal treat just as much as their human counterparts.

Don't support puppy mills!! For more information on how to help the Humane Society to shut down this cruel industry, visit http://www.stoppuppymills.org/

Never hit your cat because he may eventually learn to fear you. Instead, try using a spray of water or loud noise or puff of air to discourage unwanted behavoir. You must be consistent in you actions.

Make sure that both your cat and his carrier have proper identification. Never fly your cat or dog in the cargo hold of a plane. http://petstoreusa.net/carriers.html

Don't forget the importance of spaying or neutering your pet: Spayed/neutered pets live longer, healthier lives; are calmer, and it reduces pet overpopulation.

Choclate and other candies can be toxic to your pet.

Cats love to play with tinfoil balls and toy mice. Encourage them to retrieve the thrown object. This excerise also keeps their weight down.

Many common plants and flowers are poisionous to cats and dogs. Visit http://www.animalpoisionhotline.com/ to find out which plants are toxic and which plants are safe to keep around your pets.

Pet Tips For Winter

Pet Tips for Winter
by Sylviahttp://www.petstoreusa.net

Don't leave an older pet outdoors too long especially if they are arthritic. The cold affects them just as much as us.

If you can get them a doggie door to let them in and out as they please. What a godsend with 6 little dogs! http://petstoreusa.net/doggie_doors.htmlFree Shipping!

If you walk them in the snow, make sure you clean their paws because of all the chemicals used to get rid of snow and ice.

Pets burn more calories in the winter because of the cold so feed them a little more.I actually know this for a fact. My dogs don't eat much in the summer but they eat a lot more in the winter.

Oh yes and clear a spot for them in the yard if its full of snow where they can pee and poop better. I try to clear out my whole yard for them!

Don't treat them like kids when you are training them but as far as the cold what is good for you is good for your pet too!
