child-and-dogs A child growing up with pets around is usually happy, affectionate and responsible from a very  young age.  They experience learning respect for animals and the importance of affection  becomes permanent.

How to bring out the best between your child and the pet is in your hands.  First of all, show  your child the proper way of handling pets.  Kids could be very excited when around pets.  Be a  guide especially if it is your child’s first time to have a pet.  Tell your child some facts about the  pet, this way your child understands what some important facts about cats/dogs are.  Encourage your child to play gently with the pet.  Introduce the use of toys.  Let your child  understand what the importance of sleeping is and how he could help in giving this to his pet.  Remind your child the importance of not letting the pet outside your home without  supervision.  To keep their pets safe, it is a must that your child learns how to protect the  cat/dog from any untoward incident.  Teach them the use of the leash or a stroller if that is the way you usually take your pet out.

dog-carrier-bagWhy would an average pet parent need a pet carrier?

You do need a pet carrier if you have a cat or dog that travels with you.  While driving you do not want your pet moving around the car.  This is very dangerous for you, your pet and other drivers.

3 in 1 pet carriers are an ideal option for traveling with cats and small dogs.   They act as a stroller, carrier and a car seat, providing protection, and a reassuring space for the pet within the vehicle, train or airplane.  Pets are more relaxed in their own safe and secure den which the pet carrier can provide.  When you arrive at your destination you will have a happier and more relaxed pet,  so consider your pet and get him/her a pet carrier.

Prices on pet carriers will vary widely depending upon the size, material and quality of the pet carrier.  For further items and options, visit our website at www.PetsStrollers.com and browse through our wide selection of pet carriers.

twin-pet-stroller-blueAnimal lovers doubtlessly spoil their pets whenever they can.  For most pet owners, taking care of a cat, dog or other small animals that they love is already a joy in itself, and they constantly seek ways to pamper their furry friends.  The love we feel for our four legged partners, the fact that we are thankful and appreciative for their companionship and contributions to the family, make us continuously find ways to return the affection.  Purchasing special pet accessories, so that their comfort is prioritized above all things, is something we are always looking for.

royale_onetouchMovement and curiosity are basic life qualities of a cat.  Cats like to wander and explore the outside world and so do we humans.  The cat stroller is certainly one of today’s novelties that enable men and their feline friends to share the joys of a wandering stroll whether it is along the city sidewalks or in the great outdoors.

Any cat, healthy, sick, injured or aged can enjoy the advantages of a stroller.  Getting to see the outside world can and will therefore offer them the best therapy for recovery or at least will make them comfortable and happy.   Cat strollers come in various sizes, colors, shapes and utilities.   For instance, speaking of utility, there are double deck strollers and twin strollers that can accommodate two cats at the same time.  Or the 3 in 1 strollers will allow you to use the carrier as a car seat when you are on the move.   All the strollers have comfortable rest and sleep space and can be conveniently stroll-pushed along city sidewalks or on country paths.

Check out the wide variety of cat strollers and their features on our website at www.PetsStrollers.com and look out for our specials on several various models.


Before vacation

s1202_redCouple of things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of taking your pet along with you on a trip.  First of all, make sure that pets are allowed wherever you are planning to stay.  Specify that you are traveling with a dog or a cat as different rules apply to different pets.  The “pets allowed” does not always reflect the fact that your cat can stay with you unless in a large case or not at all.

Before you leave, make sure you do a few essential things.  Pack a photograph of your pet, just in case they get lost, check their tag for identification, as details of your name, address and phone number should be accurate in case you need to be contacted.   Take them to the vet and make sure they are up-to-date with all the shots,  and also carry proof of their shots - you might need them as some places ask for proof of the latest rabies shot.

Try to make them get used to the leash and harness for longer periods of time.  Or if you like so, make them used to pet gears to sit still in them for extended periods of time.   Take them for longer drives so they get used to the idea of sitting still when traveling.   It is always safer to make sure your pet is well secured while in a vehicle, therefore consider the use of a pet carrier on the back seat, buckled in, in which they can be safe.

Taking those safety precautions will make your trip worry free and more enjoyable.


Major issues 1.

cat-with-claws2Cats are born with claws, as humans are born with fingernails and toe nails.  Cats need claws in order to scratch and basically stretch their agile bodies as they pull back from their hold.  Scratching is a basic physiological need of cats.

So do cats need to be declawed?  If you truly care for the welfare of your cats, think twice on declawing your cats. Declawing is basicly taking out all the front claws of a cat.   In a way this procedure is equal to the amputation of all the finger tips of a human being.  For cats this surgery is painful and, for someone who is walking on all fours, terribly unnecessary.  Recovery from the surgery may only take a few weeks or so, its physical and/or psychological effects could last a cat’s lifetime.

At the end, cats are extremely and highly trainable to use a posts for scratching instead of common household furniture, rugs or curtains.  Please consider taking the time to teach them what’s allowed to scratch and what is not.   They will be thankful for you not putting them through something totally unnecessary.


Solving a Canine Transportation Conundrum

doggie-bagEven though I work as a veterinary technician at an animal clinic, taking my dog Clancy in for a checkup has always been a hassle. Living in the inner city, it’s not practical for me to own a car. Fellow passengers on public transportation understandably frown upon dogs being taken on the subway. For a long time, my only recourse was to depend on friends and co-workers for rides. Obviously I was putting them out because few people are thrilled to have a small dog running loose in their car.

Everything changed the day my dog carrier backpack arrived. Now I can stow Clancy safely in the large, breathable compartment and pedal to work on my bicycle. Of course the added weight makes a bit of a difference, but the hospital is only a few miles away. The arrangement allows Clancy a pleasant view of the surroundings, and it makes the logistics of his checkups much more convenient.


Accepting the Pet Stroller

It was just about time that I figured out a way to make my cat able to experience the out world. She had a simple carrier and I used to put her outside in the backyard on the grass to enjoy the fresh air. However I soon had to realize, that this pet carrier wasn’t the most comfortable way for her. It was too small to sit in for hours. Of course, you would say you can easily let your cat outside by itself and he/she will come back, but as a concerned pet owner on such highly traveled city streets you think twice before you let this happen.

Therefore when I came across that you can buy  pet strollers original_strollerjust like for your babies, I was more excited to get it for her then I was hopping she would be. Once the stroller was assembled I just left it in the middle of the room for my cat to familiarize herself with it. Without any fear she approached it, smelled around then just jumped in it and appeared that she felt comfortable right away. So if you are concerned whether your pet will accept a stroller or not, let them explore and you can be sure they will adjust quickly to their new “toy”. Encourage them by taking them outside as often as possible; they will then associate a pleasant feeling with a pet stroller. Once the stroller will be on the move they will know, the fun time has arrived.

Little tricks can be applied to make your pet love the stroller. Give a treat, put their favorite blanket inside, and be patient. As you do, they need time to adjust to new things as well. My cat by now loves her stroller so much, that even when inside she loves taking naps in it. So can your pet. Consider buying a pet stroller to make your pet happy.
