Pet Auto Barriers: Screens & Bars

admin — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 04:15:02 +0000

Big, rambunctious dogs in the backseat or trunk area of a vehicle can pose a danger to the rest of the occupants. If your dog refuses to wear a seat belt harness or crate, then try an auto barrier. Basically, the barrier is either a mesh, plastic, or metal screen that keeps the dog in one area of the car. It can look something like the bars that divide a police officer’s cruiser. Highland Black Universal Pet Barrier This is a good barrier for big dogs and fits well inside SUVs. The best place to set up this barrier is right behind the back seats in the trunk area. You don’t even need a screwdriver or any tools, since it’s...

How to Prepare Your Dog for a Trip

admin — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 04:17:44 +0000

Let’s face it – you don’t like going to the doctor’s any more than your dog enjoys visiting the vet. Many dogs get extremely anxious when they realize they might have to face the white-gloved monster. Some dogs don’t even like going on car rides, so if you’re trying to relax Fido before a big trip, you are going to have to prepare for it. To the Vet’s Office If your pet is like most dogs, he’s afraid of the vet. His heart starts racing and he looks for exit strategies. You can combat his natural fight-or-flight reaction by giving him an herbal sedative like “Doggie Sedate” or “Only Natural Pet Stress & Anxiety Homeopathic Remedy.” They contain all-natural ingredients...

Dog Travel Essentials: What to Pack

admin — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 05:19:43 +0000

Traveling with a dog is twice the work of traveling alone: Not only do you have to pack for yourself, but you need to pack a doggie backpack for your furry friend. Once you have created a list of items, hold onto it for future use. Store your dog’s travel goods in one place so you can just grab it and go. 1. Food and water dishes Leave your dog’s ceramic dishes at home where they belong. Pick up some collapsible bowls that are made from waterproof nylon. You can press them down for extra space and put them in your backpack. Just pull them out and fill them up when your dog is thirsty. These are good to have...

Three Ways to Restrain Your Dog in a Vehicle

admin — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 05:21:50 +0000

Cars are dangerous for every occupant inside, which is why it’s important for everyone to wear seat belts or be secured in crates. No matter what size dog you have, or how well-behaved he is in the car, it’s necessary to have restraints just in case of a road accident. Dogs are just as vulnerable as humans when it comes to car injuries. 1. Dog Crates Crates are a good choice for smaller dogs who like to run around in the car. The best place for the crate is the back seat to avoid air bag deployment. The crate should be restrained with a seat belt or clip so it doesn’t slide around the back seat or trunk. Hard dog...

We now have technology that enables us to keep track of our children (or if your pets are your children) at all times. GPS technology can track with amazing precision and let you know the exact coordinates or address of your missing pet. If you like to let your dog walk off leash, at least outfit him with a tracking device so you won’t have to deal with a possible heartbreak later. Tracking collars are also good for hunting dog excursions, since the dogs have to be off-leash in the forest. Tracker Radio Systems This is a tool used by many hunters with their dogs.

If you’re going to be traveling with your dog, here’s a word of advice: Don’t bring any squeaky toys in the car if you want peace and quiet. Most dogs don’t care about watching the new DVD in the backseat, but all of them love a delicious treat or two. For $2 or #3, you can get a thick bone that will provide hours of enjoyment – for you and the dog. 1. Marrow Bones Marrow bones are safe as long as the dog is supervised, such as when you’re traveling together in the car.

Pet Travel Carriers: Airline Safety

admin — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 00:02:29 +0000

Pet Travel Carriers Airlines have strict rules regarding pet travel. Each airline has its own policies, so look up the laws before you and your dog travel. Most airlines want to see a health certificate from a vet and a copy of his vaccinations. Small pets can travel in the cabin, but they need to fit underneath the seat. Pet travel carriers for large dogs can go in the cargo area of the plane. The temperature is the same as the cabin, but inform the pilot that you are transporting a dog in cargo so he can keep an eye on the temperature. Airline-Friendly Cabin Carriers A mesh and nylon pet travel carriers are comfortable for your pet and easy for...
