Pet Stroller Info

Did you know that dog’s and cat’s obesity is the number one pet health problem that vets see today? Of course, you love your cat and want the best for it, but you have to make sure to treat them well and right.  Just like humans, if a cat (or any other pet) takes in more calories than its body can burn, the cat will gain weight.   If in the wild, a cat uses up a lots of energy to hunt down and catch its prey.  A domestic cat though that lives indoors doesn’t have to hunt and fight for its food.  Food is right there waiting for felines any time they want it - the perfect environment for a fat cat.

We tend to refuse to see the fact that too much food is the cause of our cat having weight problems. You may not be feeding your cat many treats, but you may be feeding them too much at one time and/or too often. Veterinarians suggest that you serve your cat two to four meals a day - and think in ounces, not cups. 0.6 to 1.0 ounces per serving is plenty.

Cats need a meat-based diet with high levels of protein. Research shows that diets high in fat and protein are best for carnivores such as cats, combined with plenty of exercise of course.  Try to help your cat burn extra calories. Unfortunately, you can’t go for walks with your cat as you would with your dog.  Some cats might take leash training, but it’s rare.   If you really want to get your cat outside, consider a cat stroller in which they can sit comfortably and experience the out-world forgetting to sleep and eat, for a while at least.  As we all know, a typical domestic cat’s day consists of sleeping, eating, sleeping, and then waking up to sleep some more.  You need to provide your cat some toys that they love playing with or other interesting things to do, like looking forward to a stroll in the park.

If you don’t already own a dog, you should consider getting one.  For those who have one you are already aware of the benefits of having a dog in your life.

It is so exciting bringing your new family member home.  Whether you have adopted an older animal or purchased a puppy, it does not matter, both will show you unconditional love.  Besides unconditional love there are plenty of other benefits of having a dog at home the most important being the benefits to ones own health.

Health is probably one of the most talked about topics these days.   A dog will help reduce stress in your life and overcome feelings of isolation if you live on your own.   If you’ve had a horrible day once you get home and open the door your four-legged friend will be there to greet you and all of a sudden your day wasn’t so bad and all your stress just seems to melt away.

Dogs also make wonderful companions.  The first step is to decide which breed matches your personality.  Remember, your new friend is going to be part of the family for many years bringing you love, friendship, and companionship.  Do your research before deciding which breed is best for you and your situation.

Owning a dog is a life long commitment.  Your dog is a living creature that requires your care in order to have a health and long life.  The decision shouldn’t be entered into lightly, but once it has it is as rewarding an experience as you will ever have in your lifetime.

Some pet owners might think it’s a little strange to carry your dog or cat around in a stroller, and they might even throw some sideways glances at anyone that does. But pet strollers are for more than people who treat their pets like their own children. They are actually a tremendous help for any animal that either has a disability or is getting too old to go on walks anymore.

To that end, there are lots of animals that have problems with their hips, joints, or legs. Whether it’s something they’ve struggled with since birth or it’s a new development from some sort of accident, pets still love to feel like they’ve been out and about every day. And a pet stroller is a great way to get them in a new environment without aggravating their existing medical condition.

Adopting a dog or cat from an animal shelter has many advantages but will also make you feel better in knowing that you helped save the life of a helpless animal that deserves a second chance.  They are the helpless ones who need you to rescue them.

Some of the benefits of adopting a dog or cat from a shelter are as follows:

1. They already have their shots and have been examined by a vet for diseases and parasites.

2. Shelters often have information about an animals temper, so you know in advance what kind of pet you are bring into your home.  Is the animal good with children, does it make noise and how much, is it playful and obedient, it is housebroken and many other important details which will make the transition from shelter to home that much easier for both the new owner as well as the animal.

3. Adopting a pet frees space in the shelter for more animals which is always an issue.  Animal shelters provide a valuable service to the community that they serve by keeping the streets as free of stray animals as possible.  The only way that they can bring in more stray animals is if people adopt those currently in the shelter or if they euthanize the animal which nobody wants to see happen to a helpless animal.

Before you spend thousands of dollars buying an animal from a breeder or pet store first consider visiting your local animal shelter and see if that special someone you are looking for is waiting for you.

Dogs are very well capable of experiencing many of the same emotional issues that humans deal with every day. They have the capacity to experience anger, aggression, depression, and anxiety just like their owners.  Anxiety is one of the main behavioral issues that many dogs experience.  The anxiety can be brought on by a stressful event such as going to the vet or something as simple as riding in a moving vehicle.  Other dogs may seem happy and emotionally healthy but are secretly hiding their anxiety like we humans often do.

If your dog suffers from depression or has trouble concentrating and relating to the world around them your vet can prescribe medicines or herbal blends of mood enhancing products to help them deal with these issues.  While medications can help your dog the best medicine is something you don’t need a vet to prescribe.  Spend more time socializing with your dog and keep them active.  Go for long walks, bring them to the park so they can run around and socialize with other dogs or take them for a vigorous hike in the woods.  The variety of activities you can engage in with your dog do are only limited by you, the benefits to your dog are endless.  And if your loved ones have any mobility issues, don’t forget the options are endless in pet gears that can help your pets still enjoy the outside world.

Just like humans dogs are very social and active creatures.  They require constant attention and daily activity which leads to a healthy and long life.  Without this daily activity and interaction they become bored and could develop feelings of neglect.  This can lead to behavioral problems as well as health issues such as obesity and depression.

Here are a few activity suggestions for you and your best friend:

Visit the park - A daily trip to the local dog park is not only a great way for your dog to exercise but it also provides an opportunity for your dog to socialize with other dogs.

Hiking - Whether it’s a stroll in the neighborhood or vigorous hike in the hills the change in scenery is something your dog will appreciate. New sights, sounds and smells keep your dog mentally sharp since it forces them to be constantly aware of their surroundings.

Running or jogging - Not only is strenuous exercise good for you, but it is also great for your dog. Beside can you think of a more perfect running partner than your dog?

The Beach - I have yet to meet a dog that does not enjoy a good run on the sand, playing with the tide or chasing the birds. Never mind swimming to fetch a stick from the water.

Roller blading - Leash up and rollerblade together with your dog.

Walking, running or chasing after a ball or just being outdoors should form part of your dogs’ daily routine. The exercise not only improves your pet’s quality of life, but it provides you with a great opportunity to bond with your pet.

Any posh pet can tell you that traveling in an owner’s oversized purse is so last year. The most pampered pet deserves the deluxe treatment in his or her very own pet stroller. You can buy pet strollers in sporty blue or red, or choose princess pink dog strollers for your little diva. An all-terrain stroller means your pet can accompany you on rocky hikes; a more delicate, designer stroller is perfect for quiet trips to the park or shopping downtown.

While any pet can experience the royal treatment of pet strollers, they are extra convenient for older pets that have trouble walking or pets who have recently had surgery. Most pet strollers have enclosed seating areas so pets won’t fall out or be pelted with rain or snow. And some strollers even fold up into a convenient size for storage in a closet or the trunk of your car. No matter what model of pet stroller you choose, you can rest assured that your pet can always be with you.

I recently told my father about a stroll in the park I took with my cat Diva in her new pink pet stroller and his reaction was somewhat surprising.  He wanted to know if I had recently suffered some head trauma that was affecting my mental abilities.  In short he thought I was crazy.

To understand his reaction you first need to know something about my father.

My father lives in Hungary on a small farm and loves animals.  He has had both dogs and cats all his life, but because he lives in the countryside he has never had to worry about the dangers faced by pets living in a large metropolitan city.   His pets have always been able to roam freely without fear of getting hit by a vehicle.   Unfortunately that isn’t the case for Diva and I.

I live near a busy intersection within a large metropolitan city.   Cars, trucks and buses are a constant presents in my life and I wouldn’t know what to do if something ever happened to Diva while we were out and about.

So while my father may think I’m crazy, I think I’m perfectly sane.   My investment in a cat stroller has reduced the stress in my life and we all know that stress can make you a little crazy sometimes.
