As the world turns its attention to all things Green , it has become an interest of mine to explore how I can turn my hobby Green. That means reducing heating, electricity, and pollution that are byproducts of reptile ownership.Pet ownership is a luxury that can have a significant impact on the environment. But that is not to say you should abandon man's best friend. That's not to say a heated tank can not be made more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. It may take some careful consideration when you are at the petstore, but you will be rewarded for it by healthy animals, reduced bills, and a reduced impact on the environment!Think about everything that goes into various aspects of reptile care:Wood, glass, metal, or plastic cagesCeramic heat emittersMercury Vapor BulbsFlourescent TubesThink about how much your electricity bill has risen, and consider the effects on the environment.

2008-04-05 16:08:00
A common concern pet owners have with feeding their dogs raw dog food is whether or not they will get parasites, and if bacteria is a concern. It's certainly a fair concern to have and I certainly don't want feed my dog food laden with bacteria or parasites, and I certainly don't want to tell other well intentioned people to do so if it truly is the case.A study on 25 commercial raw diets for dogs and cats detected Salmonella in 20% and Escherichia coli in 64% of the diets. However, the E. coli strain that can cause severe illness H157:O7 was not tested for. Raw feeders, however, believe that the risk of bacterial infection can be greatly reduced with safe handling and trusted meat sources that offer fresh and organic meats. Statistically speaking, human quality, raw foods that are properly handled and stored are generally be considered to be safe. If this were true, millions of pets consuming raw foods on a daily basis across the globe would not be alive and barking today, but t...

It is very important to know what you are expecting out of your fish tank before you begin with this task. Aquariums are a great addition to any room and often bring a sense of relaxation to all that view it. Before you begin on this amazing quest to have the perfect aquarium in your home or office there are a few things you should know.WHICH TYPE OF AQUARIUM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?When choosing between a saltwater and a freshwater tank you need to think about how much space you are willing to dedicate to your new aquarium. Generally, saltwater tanks take up more space then freshwater tanks.

Having A Pet Rabbit - Fun Along With Responsibility
2008-04-03 16:16:00
Rabbits are very cute and cuddly and many have the idea that it is very easy to have them as pets. Children love to play with rabbits and as they are soft and cuddly, children like to catch them or hold them. Before deciding to have a rabbit as a pet, you need to learn some points so that you find it easy to maintain them. The first thing that is important is to note that they bite and they don't like to be held or picked up when they are roaming about. So it will be a dangerous thing if you have a small child at home and if the rabbit is caught against their will, they may bite. You cannot train them not to bite in such cases.Rabbits look very cute and it seems that they are the simplest of pets, as they just have to be caged. But the fact is that they have to be cared for a lot. They need to be taken out of the cage daily and they need to be exercised to keep them healthy. You will have to keep an area especially for them so that they exercise there daily and it should not have a...

Hand Signals On Dog Obedience Training
2008-04-02 15:10:00
People are hooked on taking care of pets these days as they can be considered as one of the most valued possessions of a person. In choosing a pet, we have a variety of choices but dogs are more preferred. One reason for this is the ability of dogs to understand and follow commands from their owners. If given proper training, a dog can understand both verbal and sign commands. However, they tend to learn hand signals easier than words because dogs are very observant of body language.Since we don?t have an official hand signals on dog obedience training we practice commonly used basic commands and these are the heel, sit, stay, down and come. Through hand signals, you can teach your dog to sit by starting with your arm at your side. You can then move your hands toward your chest, facing your palm upward. This is ideal if you?re inches away from your pet, otherwise try to grab your pet?s collar and gently push its rear into a sitting position.Teach your dog to heel with your arms comi...

If you're looking to keep your kitty happy, cat furniture may be the way to go.While you may think cats are only indoor pets, the reality is they are wild animals that we have domesticated over time. In many respects, they still act as wild animals. They aren't obedient or full of unconditional love. They are independent animals that don't mind you giving them food and drink and some attention, when they feel like it.Sometimes, even cats given all the food and love they want don't seem happy in the house. They may try to sneak out the door to see what is on the other side and try to take on a new adventure. If you don't want your indoor cat to suddenly become an indoor/outdoor cat, you may need to find a way to give him new adventures inside the house. You can often achieve this with cat furniture.Cats like to explore and conquer things. They like to hunt prey and attack things.

Cleaning Your Dog's Ears
2008-03-28 14:35:00
Avoid dog ear infections by practicing preventive care. That means regularly examine and clean your dog's ears. Cleaning your dog's ears is important for good grooming and overall health. This is especially true for canines with pendulous ears, lots of hair in their ears, allergies or other medical problems that render them susceptible to ear infections.Keeping the dog's ears clean is important because a damp environment creates an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungus, often leading to painful sensitivity, redness, swelling and infection.Some guardians never check their dog's ears unless the dog is shaking or scratching its ear(s).That's unfortunate because, by that time, there is usually an ear health problem requiring veterinary intervention to determine if the dog is infected, infested or needs treatment.Before cleaning the dog's ears, inspect for potential problems. Take note of any matter in and around the ear canal, particularly excess wax. A dark wax may be a s...

Summer Pet Care Tips
2008-03-26 14:38:00
Summer is the time for fun, outdoor activities, swimming, picnics and vacations. And, understandably, people love to share many of their summer activities with their animal companions. Unfortunately, every summer many beloved pets die unnecessarily during extremely hot weather.HEAT exhaustion is one of the most common ailments of pets during the summer months, so pet owners should be cautious. If it's an exceptionally hot day, keep your dog or cat in the house with you and a fan and/or air conditioning. If it's too hot outside for you, it's too hot outside for your pet. Signs of heatstroke may include: hot skin, rapid panting, twitching muscles, salivation, a dazed expression. Wrap your pet in a towel with cool, not COLD water. Cool him down by giving him ice cubes to lick (as cold water will upset his stomach worse and hasten dehydration). Let him lie in front of a fan. To prevent heat exhaustion, make sure your outside pets have access to shade, fresh water and that you monitor...

Pet Therapy Without The Pet
2008-03-24 05:19:00
Anyone who has ever owned a pet will be able to attest to the power of animals as spiritual rejuvenators and psychological healers. Pet owners don't need expensive studies to prove that pet therapy works; we've had first-hand experience of the phenomenon. We also know that the species doesn't make a difference. The only things that matters is that we love them unconditionally and receive more than that in return.Unfortunately the scientific fraternity doesn't accept the word of those in the know unless it's been corroborated with a grant budget and at least two dozen clipboards. So, pet therapy has been successfully proven to the satisfaction of most scientists (there are always dissidents, even when proving that grass is green). Pets' ability to alleviate depression, loneliness and bring meaning to life has been used in old-age homes, in the treatment of the mentally and physically handicapped, and for terminal patients. They have also been used in poverty stricken areas to b...

How To Use A Feng Shui Fish Tank

In Asian and Chinese culture, fish play an important role.

Reasons to start a pet sitting business can be different, depending on whom you ask. Some motivation comes from those affected by the national rise in layoffs.

2008-03-20 15:57:00
I was interested in finding a pet fish for my son's 6th birthday. We went to the fish store. The idea is that a pet fish would be an ideal tidy little pet that would not require a lot of maintenance.Fish are beautiful and come in a lot of colors. Children respond to pets. Having a pet is said to teach responsibility to a child. Fish are the perfect first pet because a child can actually care for the fish. We decided to get some fresh water fish as opposed to salt water. This was our first time owning a fish so we did not want to buy fish that we could not care for.Fish do not require heavy maintenance. It was easy to have the pet store show my son what he should do each day to make sure the fish was taken care of.We purchased two goldfish. We were not trying to innovative or buy some rare tropical fish. All we wanted was a couple of healthy fish.We chose a small Aquarium that fit the size and number of the two gold fish we selected.

Pet Insurance Ensures That Your Pets Get The Best Care Possible
2008-03-19 05:43:00
The best piece of advice that I can give any pet owner is that keep a pet only if you feel that you are ready to undertake all the responsibilities that comes with owning a pet. A pet is after all like a child that never grows up and remains dependent on us till the time of its death. So we should be mentally, physically and financially prepared to handle such grave responsibility for the entire lifetime of a pet. It often seems as if food, shelter and grooming are the only tasks associated with having any kind of an animal as a pet however, this is far from the truth.Some of the basic questions that you need to ask yourself are as follows - are you really prepared to ensure your pet is getting the best food possible which is nutritionally sufficient? Is your pet getting regular exercise, proper grooming and is the vaccination of your pet up to date? Another important criterion that ensures good care and maintenance of your beloved pet is a pet insurance and not many owners are pro-...

Pet Turtle Care

Turtles are fascinating pets to own, but many people get them not knowing how to care for them. They need to have the right amount of space, light, shade, and moisture to survive. You need to learn what turtles require before you get one.The best place to keep a turtle is outside. Turtles hibernate in the winter and if they are kept inside they won't hibernate. This can cause them to develop liver diseases. A turtle's natural cycle should not be messed with. Also, if you keep a turtle pen outside you can create a completely natural turtle habitat.Some people that keep turtles inside use refrigerators to make them hibernate. This is not recommended though because if the refrigerator suddenly rises in temperature or if the power goes off, the turtle's hibernation will be interrupted. This can be fatal for them. If you plan on keeping your pets inside, just don't let them hibernate.Also, if you keep your turtle inside, you must have a tank that is at least forty gallons. There has ...

Corn Snakes

Corn snakes are the most popular pet snake there is, and for a very good reason. These are snakes with a very good temper, and they are very easy to keep in an enclosure. Their adult size will usually be between 4 to 6 feet, and they have a very slender body type. The "original" corn snake has a black and white checkered pattern on their bellies that resembles a corn cob. I say original because corn snakes have been bred to get the most amazing colors and patterns; spotted, striped, no pattern, and all kinds of colors. Even pet shops usually have a wide variety of these "morphs".Corn snakes live for a long time, around 15 to 20 years, so keep this in mind when buying one.

Ten Things You Should Know About Pet Lizards
2008-03-15 14:34:00
If you are about to obtain your first pet lizard, congratulations. Lizards are, in my view, the most wonderful, fascinating and beautiful creatures on Earth. Part of their appeal is their incredible diversity; there are more species of lizards than all the mammals or amphibians, and they range from three-inch legless burrowers to the mighty 200-pound Komodo dragon. Some are coloured with somber tans and ochre, and others rival the most ostentatious of butterflies with gaudy green, red, and yellow markings. Some glide on fragile wings, some run across the water, and some can stick to ceilings. With my sincere apology to Samuel Johnson, it is my opinion that "when a man gets tired of lizards, he is tired of life"!That said, here are ten valuable guidelines to help you and your lizard get off to a good start, and stay on a safe and happy course. I speak with a wee bit of experience, having kept lizards since 1961, and going on to spending over 30 years as a professional herpetologist. ...

Not having a comprehensive pet insurance policy could be placing many animal owners under financial risk, it has been suggested.Research carried out by Sainsbury's indicates that up to three-quarters of dogs and cats do not have cover, meaning Britons having to pay out of their own pocket for 5.5 million treatments each year. It was also suggested that a total of 1.8 million pet insurance claims are made every year due to the ill health of an animal, with a further 18,000 filed for other purposes including instances where the creature has either been lost or stolen.According to figures by the financial services firm, the lifetime cost of owning a cat comes to about 7,200 pounds.
