Helpful Hints with Pets

I highly recommend adding a pet to your family, even it if is just you. They are simply tremendous, but you have to make sure you understand their needs for it to be a good two way relationship. With that in mind, here are some tips to make you a good pet owner.

1. Dog Urine in Carpet – If your dog can’t hold it anymore, don’t get to angry. You can get the urine out without much problem. Mix sudsy water with lemon juice and blot the carpet

2. Physically Disciplining Cats – You should not hit or swipe at your cat. Instead, discipline them with a water spray bottle. If you do it yourself, the cat will avoid you at all cost.

3. Dry Dog Wash – If you don’t have time to give your dog a bath and they smell bad, you can give them a rub down with baking soda to take the edge off.

4. Get A Little Air – Pets are like humans. They need to get outside and stop hanging around the house. Take your pet with you when you can.

5. Giving Aspirin to Cats – Aspirin is a wonder drug, but don’t give it to cats. They react really poorly to it and it can even kill them.

6. Dogs Urinate on Walks – If your dog is urinating frequently on walks, don’t worry. He or she is just marking their territory.

7. Pet Pain Killers – Pets have pain issues just like us. If the vet gives them pain medication, make sure you understand the instructions. You don’t want to go for a walk after your pet has just been medicated.

8. Exotic Pet Problems – It may seem like a good idea to get a unique pet, but be warned. They have unique needs and you may be surprised how much maintenance there is.

9. Pets In Pools – Throwing a ball into a pool for a pet to chase is a favorite pastime. Swimming is good for their hips, but watch their fur. It can dry out the skin because of the clorine.

10. Dog Sits Down Suddenly – A dog that sits down suddenly is hurt. He or she has a problem with their back hips. They often will not make a sound, but will refuse to move. See a vet immediately.

The longer you have a pet, the more human they will become to you. A tight bond will inevitably be formed. To live up to your end of the bargain, make sure you understand the needs of your pet so you can have a long, happy time together.
