    5 Critical Tips for Proper Pet Care

     

    Pets are awesome. There’s no other way to say it. As long as you care for them properly, they’ll show you nothing but love. This doesn’t mean that you need to spoil your pets, showering them with food, treats, and toys. Yes, you can do that, but your pets will appreciate you much more if you care for them in these five ways.

     

    1) Spend Some Time Exercising With Your Pets

    Your pets want to spend as much time with you as possible. This involves playing and exercising with them. Depending on the type of pet that you have, for example, a dog, you can take yours to the park and play fetch or even go jogging. Your dogs will appreciate going for walks, playing fetch, and burning off any extra energy. You’ll feel healthier as well since you get to exercise along with them. If your pets are of the indoor variety, then use toys that they enjoy. Your cats will get a kick out chasing a laser light on the floor or batting at some yarn. This is good for your pet’s mental and physical health.

     

    2) Feed Your Pets Properly

    You probably already know that your pet needs to be fed daily. The real question is: are you feeding him or her the right foods and in the correct amounts? If you aren’t sure which types of pet food are the best, ask your veterinarian or the employees at your local pet store for recommendations. Depending on the breed of your animal, one type of food may be much better than another. You also need to take your pet’s weight, age, and activity levels into consideration when determining how much and how often to feed him or her. You can look at the back of the pet food bag for guidelines or ask your vet.

    3) Take Your Pets to the Vet

    Even the healthiest animals need to go in for regular checkups. Yours are no exception to this. Many conditions can be caught early thanks to standard vet appointments. This will help you save money in the long run since these early treatments will cost less than more extensive ones. On top of this, regular vet appointments can help your pet live a longer, healthier life. The more time you have with your pet, the better, right? We all know that pets don’t live as long as humans, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do everything you can to make your pet enjoy every moment of his lifespan.

     

    4) Grooming Is Important

    While not every pet needs to see a professional groomer, many will benefit from home grooming treatments. For example, if you have a cat, then you can brush him regularly. This will prevent dandruff and hairballs. It’s also a great way for you to bond with your cat. Dogs require a bit more maintenance. You’ll have to bathe them and clip their claws. Some types even need professional grooming in the form of haircuts. Your dog will look better and be much happier.

     

    5) Set up A Schedule and Stick with It

    Pets need schedules just as much as humans do. They need to know when they’ll be fed, as well as when it’s time to go outside (if you own a dog.) Every pet, no matter the type, will adjust to a schedule well and will begin to anticipate when things will happen. Feeding your pet at the same time every day, going for walks at a certain hour, and so on will only stabilize your pet’s life in a good way.

  • No-Poo for Pets

    No-Poo for Pets

    No-poo for pets might not be what you are thinking it is.  It won’t keep you from cleaning out a litter box or picking up after your dog in the yard.  But it can help reduce the cost of keeping your pet healthy and reduce toxins in your environment.  No-poo (short for “no shampoo”) is basically a way of cleaning off your pets without using shampoo, and in some cases without using water.  Here are the supplies you will need and how to get started.

     

    Ingredients

    • Baking soda
    • Diatomaceous earth
    • Neem oil
    • Witch Hazel
    • Water

    Directions

    1. The amount you make will depend upon the number of, and the size of your pets. But Mixing the dry ingredients together at a ratio of 2 parts baking soda to 1 part diatomaceous earth will give you a dry rub.
    2. Rub the dry mix into your pet’s fur all over their body. But be careful around the face, it can cause irritation if you it gets in the eyes or the nose.
    3. Brush your pet with as fine of a brush as their fur allows for to remove the dry rub. This will be enough in between baths to keep them from smelling and to reduce the chances of fleas and ticks.
    4. To give them a bath, if your pet allows for this, mix 1 part baking soda with 1 part water. Rub your pet’s coat with this mixture.
    5. Rinse this off.
    6. Mix a few drops of neem oil in enough witch hazel to work into your pet’s coat all over their body.
    7. Rub this all over your pet’s coat and brush it in. The witch hazel will help with itchy skin and the neem oil will help reduce fleas and ticks.

     

    Keeping a pet healthy doesn’t have to be expensive, and it doesn’t have to involve covering them in toxins that could make you sick.  It can be done cheaply and easily with ingredients that you probably already have around the home.
