Pet Tips: Benefits of Grooming A Pet
2008-04-16 11:46:00 Submitted By: David Beart (Photo by ©iStockphoto.com/cristimatei) Regular grooming of all pets can help contribute to longer, healthier lives. The benefits of having your pet groomed regularly can include making your pet more comfortable and clean, as well as having attention paid to often overlooked parts of your dog or cat. There are many direct health benefits of having your dog or cat groomed. Regular brushing of all pets, despite coat length or type, helps to keep the coat and skin healthy. Most dogs do not require frequent bathing (once a month or less!), but brushing in between bath times helps to keep them clean, removing dead hair, dirt and other debris from the coat. Many cats may only need to be bathed a few times in their lifetime. Brushing is a vital part of pet care, as it works to distribute the natural oils of the skin throughout the coat, promoting a healthier coat, and cleaner skin.

2008-04-15 11:43:00 Article By: Kelly Marshall (Photo by ©iStockphoto.com/elliotwestacott) When you are getting a new puppy, there is bound to be some excitement. In all the excitement, forgetting certain important items is bound to happen. One way to avoid forgetting to buy these important items is to make a list and keep it where you can add things as you think of them. Keep in mind that not everything your puppy will need has to be bought at one time. Remember that not everything is a need, rather a want. Here are a few things that will be needed in preparation for the arrival of your new puppy. Food and water are definitely a necessity, along with a bowl or two to keep them in. Make sure you choose a food that is specifically for puppies. This puppy food will help your dog grow strong and healthy, and is easier to chew and digest. Water is also very important to a dog, so make sure there are two bowls, one for food and one for water. Buying a leash and collar for your puppy is also a very good ide...

Pet Tips: How To Teach Your Parrot Not To Bite
2008-03-08 10:22:00 By Azmi Adnan (Photo by ©iStockphoto.com/Blizmo) Learning how to teach your parrot not to bite is one of the most important skills for a pet parrot owner. However it takes a lot of time and commitment. Given the right circumstances, parrots can learn a lot of things because they are intelligent birds. Repetition will teach your bird to stop biting and your friends and family will enjoy its presence. One of the main reasons why parrots behave this way may be that they are being left alone by themselves for far too long. This causes them to become withdrawn and would retaliate when approached. Socialize your parrot by introducing it to your family members, friends and even to your other pets to build confidence of being in the company of others. It is natural instincts for a parrot to cause hurt when it feels that its territory is being threatened by strangers. With adequate time, your bird will settle down and feel at home. As an alternative, give your parrot a toy to nibble at. If... More About: Tips , Parrot , Bite

2008-03-06 09:59:00 Scientific name: Gramma Loreto Temperature: 75 - 82°F pH: 8.0 Diet: Carnivore Temperment: Relatively peaceful, but are aggressive towards their own species. Peaceful Nature, small size, and a diet that encompasses most standard flake and meaty foods, make this Basslet an excellent beginner fish for your reef aquarium. Although the Royal Gramma tend to swim out in the open, especially during feeding, the aquarium should contain extensive cave rockwork to provide hiding places for this fish. Once a Royal Gramma has become accustomed to a hiding place you may find it vigorously defending it. This can be comical as they will face their invader head on and open their mouths extremely wide to ward off intruders.
