Pet Care Blog ActivePetHealth.com Launches With Helpful Pet Health Tips


Glendale, AZ (PRWEB) October 22, 2010

ActivePetHealth.com, a blog dedicated to providing helpful pet health information, was formally launched today. The blog offers pet owners objective pet health information and entertaining articles about various pet topics.

According to ActivePetHealth.com blogger Lisa Carlisle, the blog?s main ambition is to educate pet owners on how to provide their pets with active, safe and happy lives. ?We want visitors to get the impression that pet health is an essential part of pet ownership,? said Carlisle. ?When the quality of your pet?s life depends directly on your actions and living habits, it?s important to understand that your pet?s safety, health and happiness should be just as vital as your own.?

Estimates released by various veterinarian organizations, including the Veterinary Oncology & Hematology Center and American Pet Product Manufacturers Association, reveal that Americans spend billions of dollars on pet care each year, but because of recent economic conditions, the number of veterinary visits has decreased.

?Because many pet owners don?t have as much disposable income for veterinary care, it?s important to focus on preventative measures that allow your pet to avoid unnecessary medical problems,? said Carlisle. ?The trends in pet health are pointing in the right direction ? we need to focus on providing pets with an active, healthy lifestyle.?

Obesity in dogs and other animals has been on the rise in recent years, a trend that somewhat reflects the number of obese people in America. As with humans, dogs and other animals need regular exercise, dietary constraints and other healthy lifestyle habits to remain in good shape.

In recent articles, ActivePetHealth.com has addressed natural and herbal remedies for pets, the effectiveness of pet insurance, and pet grooming tips to keep your pet clean and your home sanitary. According to Carlisle, the blog launched at the right time ? before the holidays.

?Pet ownership can be magnified around the holidays ? owners want to buy gifts and treats for their pets. People even give pets as gifts, so it will be helpful to have a blog where new and seasoned pet owners can find helpful pet health information.?

Dog Beds ? What is the Best Dog Bed for Your Dog?


Los Angeles, Ca (PRWEB) August 18, 2011

DogGeekz.com is announcing the release of a dog bed purchasing guide that will help millions of dog owners select the perfect dog bed for their dog. With over hundreds of dog beds to choose from one has to stop and wonder, “its only a dog bed, right?” But the important reality is that no two dogs are the same, even if they are from the same breed. A dog?s stature and sleeping habits play the biggest role in determining which dog bed is best.

 

A dog?s size will determine the proper construction of the bed. Large breed dogs start off small and cuddly but can quickly outgrow and ruin their puppy bed. Certain dog beds are simply not designed to take the punishment from the cute little pup as it morphs into a 100 lbs beast. Most dog beds in these cases ‘bottom out’ and loose their orthopedic support. Larger dogs also age faster and thus are prone to arthritis and other bone related disabilities. A large dog bed that can contain and support the dogs weight is crucial for a good nights rest.

 

Observing a dogs sleeping habits is pivotal in selecting a bed your dog will actually sleep on. The biggest problem dog owners often come to realize is when their dog rarely sleeps on the newly purchased dog bed. Owners scratch their head in confusion and blame the dog when it’s most likely the bed itself. All dogs have different sleeping habits; some like to curl up while others like to sprawl out or sleep on their backs. It is important to select a bed that will contain your dog. Your dogs head or paws should not be forced to rest off the edge or supports unless they naturally come to rest that way.

 

Dogs that usually sleep outdoors will sleep in a tight curled position to preserve warmth. Indoor dogs may nestle or nest for the same reason along with the fact that it provides security. However, sleeping in a tightly curled position is not the most relaxed for a dog. In this position a dog will not have a restful nights sleep; their muscles would have to be tense to hold this position. A bumper bed or donut dog bed with walls would give these kind of sleepers the maximum comfort and sense of security during nap time.

 

Lastly you have the dogs that love to stretch out and occupy the whole bed just like us humans. For dogs that sleep with these tendencies it is important to select a dog bed that can contain the entire dog toe-to-toe. A dog pillow bed or large dog bed will have your pooch stretched out and counting sheep faster than he or she can sit for their favorite treat.

 

Once the owner understands the specific needs of their dog depending on how they sleep, he or she can confidently choose the best dog bed that will provide their pup with the maximum comfort they deserve.

Interview Opportunity: October 16 Is National Feral Cat Day


Bethesda (Vocus) September 21, 2009

As the calendar approaches October 16 – National Feral Cat Day – feral cats are increasingly in the news, with cities and towns all over the country looking toward humane programs that take into account the needs of the community and of the cats.

“Many Americans don’t really know what a ‘feral cat’ is, but they know they’ve seen them around, because feral cats exist in every community, from urban to rural,” said Becky Robinson, president of Alley Cat Allies.

“Feral cats are a bit of mystery – because they are wary of humans, they may be hidden out in plain sight and living ‘in the shadows.’ Feral cats are members of the domestic cat species like pet cats, but they are fearful of humans and can’t be adopted. When they are taken to animal shelters, they are almost always killed there,” she said.

“Feral cats live healthy, quality lives outdoors, but there are ways make their lives even better, including programs like Trap-Neuter-Return,” said Robinson. “National Feral Cat Day is a great opportunity to learn more about feral cats and why Trap-Neuter-Return is best for the cats and the community.”

National Feral Cat Day, started by Alley Cat Allies in 2001, is celebrated by thousands of people across the U.S., who participate in fundraisers, adoption events, or spay/neuter drives in order to draw attention to the special needs of stray and feral cats.

October 16 Marks 10th Annual National Feral Cat Day


Bethesda, MD (Vocus) October 1, 2010

National Feral Cat Day (October 16) celebrates a milestone in 2010 — its tenth anniversary. Alley Cat Allies first launched National Feral Cat Day in 2001 as a kickoff to a national education campaign about feral cats.

?Feral cats are domestic cats, but are not socialized to people and are therefore unadoptable,? said Becky Robinson, president of Alley Cat Allies. ?If a feral cat is brought to a shelter they are almost always killed. This is why so many communities have adopted Trap-Neuter-Return programs as a way to care for and manage feral cats.?

Trap-Neuter-Return improves the cats? lives by ending the breeding cycle. The cats no longer undergo the stresses associated with mating and pregnancy and the population stabilizes because there are no new kittens.

Cats in Trap-Neuter-Return programs are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated. While the cat is under anesthesia, a small portion of the left ear — called an ?eartip? — is removed, signaling the cat has been neutered and vaccinated.

These cats have been living outside among people for 10,000 years — they are not a new phenomenon. Feral cats live healthy lives and thrive in any landscape, from rural to urban.

?Since the very first National Feral Cat Day, hundreds of thousands of supporters have signed on to help feral cats in their communities, and the movement continues to build,? said Robinson. ?Americans want compassionate programs for cats, including Trap-Neuter-Return.?

Nearly 100 events are already scheduled nationwide to celebrate National Feral Cat Day. For a complete listing, or more information, visit http://www.alleycat.org/NFCD .
