7 rules for feeding your dog

January 26, 2012 – 10:09 am

Here is a handy list to keep note of when feeding your dog:

An adult dog should be fed twice a day.

Feed the dog only after its walk. Dogs like to rest after eating.

If large dogs romp around after eating, there is a risk of bloating

(gastric torsion)!

If possible, always feed your dog at the same time each day.

His food should always be in the same place.

Ensure that the dog’s food has not come straight out of the

refrigerator. Food that is too cold can cause the dog to have

stomach problems, such as vomiting.

Wash up the dog’s bowl in hot water after each meal.

Always make sure that your dog has some fresh watern environment as possible

PET CLOTHING MEASUREMENT TIPS:

2. Always go to the next larger size if your measurement is within 1 inch of the maximum.

3. We also recommend to round up to the next size if your pet has a broad chest, bulky build or thick coat.

NOTE: Somewhat loose clothing is more comfortable for your pet and looks better than tight clothing. If in doubt, order the next size larger. Also, please keep in mind that certain breeds e.g. greyhound, dachshund or an over or underweight dog may need a custom fit.

Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming!

November 18, 2011 – 5:31 pm

Tis’ the season to share ourselves with those that we love. That means the furry little friends of your’s also!

What better gift could you give your little pup, bird, hamster or kitten but an hour of your undivided attention.

It may be getting a bit colder, so your walks may be shorter and your evenings seem to fill with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, but don’t neglect your best friend!

Take some time to snuggle together in the evenings, or spend some time brushing his coat when you arrive home from work. Maybe, a couple extra ball tosses when he follows you to take the garbage out in the evening or throw around a catnip infused ball or bag to enjoy a few chuckles with your kitten.

Holidays can bring out the worst or best in people, but I think that we will all agree that they don’t change the disposition of our non-human companions!

The Big Fall Pond Clean-up – Part II

September 15, 2011 – 2:53 pm

Next, follow our Fall Prep Checklist:

Cut back dead or dying aquatic plant foliage during the fall.

Purchase a wheat-germ-based pond food developed especially for a fall diet.

Disconnect the pump, filter and UV clarifier before water freezes. (Make sure that no water is left inside the device. Ice can damage the equipment.)

Store UV clarifier indoors for protection.

Store filters indoors (if manufacturer’s directions suggest).

Sink a few clay pots or weighted-down, clean buckets into the pond to provide refuge (in place of the protective plant cover that will disappear). Frogs who have taken up residence in your garden will also benefit from a place to hibernate.

Some breeds of fish are especially sensitive to the cold, like Fancy Goldfish. Bring them indoors.

Purchase or have the pond de-icer ready for installation before your pond surface freezes completely.

Sit back and enjoy the changes your pond will undergo.

This is the 2nd article in a 3-part series on getting your pond ready for winter.

The Big Fall Pond Clean-up – Part I

September 13, 2011 – 6:07 pm

This is part of a 3 part series on getting your pond ready for winter.

Preparing your pond for the fall and winter months is as essential as opening the pond in the spring. We call this the Big Fall Clean-up. The best time to clean the pond is before temperatures fall below 50°F, while fish are still active and will not sustain injury during the cleaning.

Cleaning the pond…

It is good to scoop out as much of the leaves and sludge as possible before winter. You may want to pump some of the water out of the pond to expose the planting shelves around the pond periphery. This will make it easier to hand-remove leaves that have adhered themselves to the pond edges and shelves. Using a hose nozzle, blast off the accumulated debris and sludge around the pond shelves and edges, and then remove remaining debris with a net or pond vacuum. When replacing the water, be sure to treat the chlorine and chloramines with a water treatment product.

Is your pet shedding AGAIN?

August 31, 2011 – 1:34 pm

Is your pet shedding AGAIN?

As the days grow shorter and the nights grow colder, you may observe something that seems odd for a body preparing for winter: Your dog or cat is shedding more than usual.

But rest assured, it’s perfectly normal. Dogs typically lose their winter coats in the spring, when it’s replaced by a shorter, lighter summer coat. In the fall, this cycle is reversed — the summer coat is shed to make room for heavy, protective fur for winter.
