Dog fountains!

It goes without saying that you need to ensure that you pet has fresh drinking water available at all times. This is particularly important on hot days when pets are exposed to direct sun light. I have always thought my dog was quite posh, as rather than drinking from his water bowl he enjoyed drinking water straight from the kitchen tap. This often means he has to jump up at the sink and usually ends up spraying water everywhere!

You can imagine my delight when I went on line and discovered you can buy pet water fountains, which can be operated by your pet. They simply have to stand on a metal plate which activates the fountain. –Obviously the only drawback is training your pet to activate the fountain by themselves!

Keeping an eye on your dog in the dark!

As a dog owner for many years now, I am always on the lookout for gadgets which could make my life a little easier. One of my least favourite tasks has to be having to get up out of bed in the middle of the night to let the dog out into the garden. Most nights it is usually cold and miserable and I have quite a difficult time seeing where Bruno is as he is quite dark in colour and once he goes to the bottom of the garden it can take me ages to actually beckon him back into the house again! I have since come across and an LED key ring which can be attached to the dog collar and as a result I can now see every move Bruno makes even when he is at the very bottom of the garden, so I do not have to worry about him escaping through the fence!

Anti-allergy Pets

Previously if you were allergic to animals, or more accurately the hair that comes from animals, then chances are you have never had the pleasure of owning a pet. Well all that is changing now with the introduction of anti-allergy pets. One of the most famous anti-allergy pets at the moment is the President of America, Barak Obama’s Portuguese water dog which he bought for his youngest daughter who suffers from allergies. Portuguese water dogs, which do not shed so much hair, are said to be hyper allergenic, making them less aggravating to people with allergies. Another anti-allergy pet that I mentioned a couple of days ago on this blog is the micro pig, which have no fur but skin and hair similar to ours, so now even if you suffer from allergies you do not have to miss out on owning a pet.

Horrific dog fights on the increase

The RSPCA has said that there needs to be a change in the law to try to tackle the rise in dog fighting.

Currently, there are four breeds banned, but the RSPCA says that more needs to be done in order to tackle the problem.

Calls to the RSPCA relating to dog fighting have risen 12-fold since 2004 and some dogs have suffered some horrific injuries.

The fights normally occur when gangs of youths gather in parks with two dogs and encourage them to fight.

Whatever the reason behind these dog fights, something certainly needs to be done to stop them. Dogs are pets that deserve to be loved, looked after and treated well. They are certainly not bred to fight for other peoples’ entertainment.
