Share Your Human Emotions with Your Pet This Christmas With Online For Pets

Leave a comment

In a new study it has been revealed that almost half of British pet owners believe their four legged animals share their human emotions and can sense when they are upset or unwell.

So go on and treat your furry friend to a gift this Christmas, at www.onlineforpets.co.uk .

The ‘Pets are Human Too’ study of 3,000 British dog and cat owners highlighted the common features we all share with our pets and showed that 32 per cent of feline and dog owners say their pet is a much better listener than their own human partner.

Of those surveyed, 15 per cent admitted they love their pet so much that they have their dog or cat’s image as their own Facebook profile picture, and 25 per cent have a picture of their pet as their office PC screensaver.

Forget traditional names like Spot and Scrappy, 33 per cent of the UK would rather give their animal a human name such as Dave, Alan or Sharon.

Just as you would buy a loved-one, family relative or friend a present this Christmas time, purchase your family pet some Dog toys or Cat Toys to play with over the holiday season.

But make sure that your pet has a warm cosy Dog Beds to sleep in during these icy wintry months, rather than the cold kitchen floor.

PETCO ON BOARD AS SPONSOR OF GREEN PROGRAM KEEPING COMMUNITY PARKS “POO FREE”

Leave a comment

Denver, CO (November 16, 2010) – Poo Free Parks™, a privately-held company providing environmentally- and socially-responsible pet waste supplies and services to cities and municipalities, announces a partnership with PETCO as sponsor of the Poo Free Parks™ program. The public-private partnership program is the first-of-its-kind — offering eco-friendly dog waste supplies and services to local communities at no cost to the municipalities or taxpayers and funded through cause-marketing efforts by like-minded businesses and organizations. The City of Glendale and South Suburban Park and Recreation District, both located in the Denver Metro Area, will be the first organizations to utilize the full suite of Poo Free Parks’™ services, sponsored by PETCO and a Denver-based non-profit organization, The Greenway Foundation. The service includes the installation, supply and upkeep of waste bag dispensers made from 100 percent recyclable aluminum. The dispensers are maintained by crews driving hybrid vehicles, and are filled with 100 percent biodegradable bags, designed to naturally deteriorate within 18 months.

“Poo Free Parks™ is an environmentally responsible, community-based, nationwide program addressing the important issue of dog waste in our city and suburban parks and along waterways,” says Poo Free Parks™ founder and president, Bill Airy. “The program addresses several important environmental and civic issues,” says Airy: “helps to clean up parks, waterways and walkways; improves water quality in our rivers, streams and lakes; reduces the amount of harmful plastics in our landfills and oceans; saves city and taxpayer dollars by delegating pet waste tasks to a private entity; and offers employment opportunities to heavily disadvantaged members of the community. Most importantly,” Airy continues, “our program proves that doing business in an environmentally- and socially-responsible manner can be profitable and contribute to lowering the budgetary burdens of our governmental agencies while creating opportunities for corporate sponsors and the general public to be aligned with important causes.”

As the program’s initial corporate sponsor, PETCO will help offset the cost of the program for participating organizations. “Poo Free Parks™ is making such a positive movement in keeping community parks and waterways free of plastic and pet waste,” said Greg Seremetis, vice president of marketing, PETCO. “PETCO is excited be part of something on the ground level that is poised to grow exponentially and have a dramatic impact on keeping our parks clean for pets and their parents to enjoy.”

Through the public-private partnerships with the City of Glendale and South Suburban Park and Recreation District, Poo Free Parks™ has installed and will maintain a minimum of 100 pet waste bag dispensers and thousands of biodegradable bags throughout community parks at no cost to taxpayers – resulting in more than $25,000 in supplies and additional maintenance fees, which the communities will receive as part of the service agreement.

“Our long-range plan developed by residents encourages us to find more ways to be green. Without this partnership, we couldn’t afford to switch over to biodegradable bags,” said David Lorenz, executive director for South Suburban.

“The Poo Free Parks™ program is providing an invaluable service to our residents and will certainly have a positive impact on our budget and resources,” says Larry Harte, mayor of the City of Glendale. “We are thrilled to be involved with a company who has a passion for keeping parks clean, and a program that will greatly benefit our community and the environment.”

In addition to the contract with the City of Glendale and South Suburban, the City and County of Denver has purchased, and is currently using, the eco-friendly dispensers and biodegradable bags provided by Poo Free Parks™. Airy plans to expand the program outside of Colorado to other markets across the country.

Consumers Saving On Pet Medications Even In Down Economy

Leave a comment

December 11, 2010 – The recent problems with the economy have left a lot of people and their pets hurting when it comes to finding ways to pay for even the most basic necessities. These days, pet owners go to extreme levels to be able to take care of their pets and in many cases, with the ‘jobless recovery’ in effect, this can be tough to do. That is why consumers are now opting for discount petmeds when they can as an alternative to having their pet go without the needed medications such as flea treatments, de-wormer and pain relief for arthritis. With web based businesses such as PetMed Outlet filling the crucial role of offering these needed pet supplies at a reasonable cost for even the most cash strapped consumers, those who are losing their homes to foreclosures and other economic threats do not need to fear losing their pets, as well.

With flea season coming earlier and earlier in many parts of the country, those with dogs are trying to fight the infestations early, before they get a chance to take hold. With Frontline Plus for dogs being the number one choice for so many consumers around the world today, it is comforting for many dog owners to know that they can find these and many other parasite treatments online for far less than they would have to pay in a standard retail setting. This, combined with the convenience of home delivery, is making it easier for dog owners to be able to give their pets the needed protection against fleas, ticks and a range of other parasites that can infect them with diseases that can be difficult and costly to treat.

Those pet owners who are working through difficult economic times finally have a place to turn when they need to get irreplaceable medications and do not want to settle for off brand medications when a low quality medicine could endanger the life of their pet. Pet industry experts say that as more consumers shift to the web to fill their needs in terms of quality medicines, more pets are likely to get the treatments they need to live longer, healthier lives as a result of the drop in prices.

Pet owners who want to be able to save on important medications can visit the Petmed Outlet website at http://www.petmedoutlet.com to learn more about saving on medications their pets need.

Healthy Golden Retriever Dogs

Leave a comment

Nairobi, Kenya, 11.07.2010 – Golden Retriever Dogs may look cute and innocent, but without the proper house training, he can become quite a nuisance. When you adopt a dog, start training him early to go to the bathroom outside and not on your carpet. Golden retrievers are smart and obedient dogs, so with consistency, house training can be easy. Once your dog has a clean bill of health, start the lessons. When dogs are very young, they don’t have the ability to hold their urine and bowel movements. A dog is one of the best family pets because of their friendliness and loyalty to the owners.

Regarding Golden retriever potty training, pick a spot for your dog to relieve himself. Wherever you train your dog to go to the bathroom, keep it consistent. Golden retrievers are creatures of habit and will be more successful if you keep the routine the same.

Golden retrievers do not like publicity when attending to their needs thus their privacy should be enhanced at all costs. Ensure that the place has got some dirt or grass to help it clean itself after the whole process to avoid embarrassing smell. Clean the place using water and vinegar or any other detergent to remove the smell.

Grooming golden retriever dogs is an interesting process and that all areas should get attention – teeth, nails, eyes, ears as well as skin and cleaned in the appropriate way. The first thing is to get all the necessary equipment. One of the golden rules in this regard is never shave a golden retriever. Their heavy coat keeps the dog safe from effects of extreme heat and cold.

Bathe him with a good quality shampoo and brush the teeth. Pay close attention to the eyes and ears, removing all build-up of particles to avoid occurrence of bacteria. Grooming the dog will also include clipping of nails at least once every week to prevent them from twisting.

Golden Retriever Kennels are always supposed to be kept clean. Before putting your dog in Golden Retriever kennels, you should also consider enough space is there. They are mandatory for all Golden Retriever Kennels since the dogs need to be immunized and regularly checked for pests and diseases.
