Toys for Pet Dogs

Toys are powerfully important for your dog. Not only for puppies but also for adult dogs. Dogs of all ages love to chew, and out of their stuffed animals. This is especially true if you take your dog to leave home for long periods, their toys become their alternative source of society. For puppies, toys are used to train and improve their coordination and social skills.

The problem with many dog ​​owners is that they consider peripheral issues toys, "good to haves" and not essential as food or even snacks. Complication is that the dog toys in pet stores are not sold cheaply. Most dog owners prefer to replace the toys with other animals purchased children's toys from stores old or unwanted objects. In many cases, toys for children as mini-plush toys and figures are even cheaper than the toys sold specifically for dogs in commercial pro shops.

To further the problem, it seems that if your dog has not learned to appreciate their own toys, they derive great pleasure to disfigure and disembodiment, which you bought for them. In fact, dogs love their toys and have a great time with them. However, there is no such thing as a toy forever. Dog owners need only to face the fact that to buy toys for their dogs do not last long.

In addition to cost savings, security is a problem with dog toys. Only give your dog toys that can not easily be bitten apart. For young dogs, always supervise when they chew their toys are new, so they do not try to swallow their toys and cause the face of the choking hazard or obstruction. Only provide high quality toys made of hard rubber or nylon flavored young dogs.

Dog toys are made of hard rubber toys are the safest on the market. They are generally built to withstand rigorous chewing dogs of medium size. Many of these toys are designed to hide treats in them, around them more interesting to try to make your dog a good time for a snack and not get bored with the toys may have obtained too soon.

Another common type of dog toys with cords. These are usually twisted or braided cord, sometimes combined with other materials so it is even more interesting. Rope Toys appeal differently to different dogs, your dog will either like them or care much about it. Despite the apparent hardness of rope toys, most dogs can chew them out if they set their minds on him for a long time.

Cats have to meet very specific needs to feel at ease. They love the privacy they need free access to food, resting places, delete, etc. ...
They also need to avoid situations of potential stress.

Dogs Naturally


Domestic dogs are pack animals as their ancestor the wolf. Wolves communicate in the pack to be able to coordinate attacks on prey when hunting and to increase their offspring. Today the same instincts can be observed in domestic dogs, though it now includes the stamanul pack human. Dogs use different body parts and send messages to one another, learned the language Zand complex since the puppy stage.
Language evolution

Dogs and wolves share a language involves using complex postures, ears and tails. While some elements of this language is instinctive, some are learned from the mother and other siblings still in the puppy stage.

Battle simulation is particularly important because this allows puppies to learn the specific rules of etiquette canine in a peaceful environment.

Although domestic dogs is like still in many respects with wolves, the importance of various aspects of the language has changed as a result of interaction with people. Skills developed in nature are not needed in domestic environment, similarly, certain characteristics of the dogs were encouraged by their human owners, for example bark hazard warning. However, the essential means communicare between dogs or between mother and its offspring, or between two adult dogs to meet for the first time, are the body language, a communication transmitted from generation to generation almost unchanged.
Communication by smell

As descendants of a predator that lived in packs, dogs rely heavily on the sense of smell. In the wild, it allowed other group members to recognize and react immediately when they came up during any hunting games. For domestic dogs, this form of communication stands out especially by marking with urine, but dog's sense of smell plays an essential role in dealing with other dogs even when his nose begins to seek the mother's nipple.

how will talk dogs


Usually dogs will fit well in a family environment because they are gregarious animals in nature. Will try to communicate in a similar range of modes and non-voice vocare just like doing it with other dogs and if you can read these signs, then you can quite easily available to evaluate your dog.
Start a conversation

Some ways in which dogs talk to each other are not easily understood by the masters: humans have not developed the same sense of smell of dogs, for example. Often people expect the barking to be the most important form of communication, reflecting human speech but actually understanding body language is the easiest way to understand what dogs are trying to tell you.

For the most part, dogs communicate with people as it would other dogs. However, some of the dog instinctive behaviors can be misunderstood by owner, who may believe that it bears bad. For example, an older dog can resume the practice of marking territory in the house because of anxiety that one feels as a result of separation from owner. Also, interacting with people subtly altered the natural communication of dog. Some of the positions they adopt a dog, for example sitting position, are natural
, While others, especially when begging, not normally observable in its wild relatives. They have evolved from common position, your dog quickly learn that such behavioral changes can bring them praise and rewards from the owner.
Mixed Messages

Dogs are instinctively familiar with social and will quickly integrate into the family routine. Because the dog wants to be part of the group will seek to be understood by communicating with members of the human pack.

However, some of the signals it uses can be confusing for a dog known: the dog should not be disturbed when sleeping, but can stretch patiently waiting for attention from the owner. In this case, the dog position, especially footing, will attract attention whether owner is ready to play or do not wish to be disturbed. Some positions may be apparent to master: for example, a dog is a dog wags his tail happily. But if so fast queue, and if it is put forth and in a vertical position, could indicate aggression. This combination, rather than individual gestures available featuring a dog.

What do birds eat?



What do birds eat? Here we have come to my favorite topic: I am a big greedy so I try to please my birds.

The staple food is millet parrot. It is sold in all the birds of the store. Should always be enough millet into the bird cage, the birds know how to eat. Oats Oats also enjoy a lot, but only (unpeeled, absolutely natural) which I have seen anywhere in the shops: It turns out that as an addition in combined foods. As a compromise variant of oat kernels can be given.

They also enjoy sunflower seeds, but not cooked, of course, sunflower seeds Anna as the only bird several times a month, because it contains a lot of fat and stout bird. Before giving the bird is good, just crashes (ie, consume it easily).

They love fresh vegetables! They die on cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, peppers and pepper seeds (they should not be hot!). They also eat cabbage. Be careful with nitrates! They are particularly harmful to birds because they can kill them if possible, is to avoid buying foods that are grown in green - houses.

Other green food is generally much they love the fresh and tender grass I mean ryegrass, clover especially sofa -.! He likes the grass or something, but the grass thing that should never give the parsley, t do not know why, but it is well written in the books and I experienced what happens to them if I feed birds with parsley.

Give them fresh fruit at every opportunity to apples (they like, because the nuclei of seeds), pears, plums, and squash. I have not noticed, such as citrus.

All fruit and vegetables should be washed.

Dales hard - boiled egg (one egg room for two birds) at least once a month. Since they feed themselves with protein and vitamin D.

Do not throw away the peel! Take a chopped finely. It provides them with calcium.

Another source of calcium is gypsum. Birds that gnawing with hunger, so always make sure to give the plaster in the cage.

Birds like to eat bread. No matter what type it is. Put a wet piece of bread through the bars and that will take care of what your want to come back to you.

You should always have the sand in the cage of birds (that's why I said earlier that you should buy two vessels for the food.) They need sand to digest food easier. Food does not go directly to the stomach of birds. Prior to remain for some time in the throat. Not because of all food enzymes and sand grain taken are broken in pieces, and digested preliminary softening. The sand is fine, that's why we must examine and remove the coarse fractions, because it can block the throat of 'bird s. E 'obligatory to wash the sand, boil for a qualifying time in hot water to dry and then only to the birds. sea sand - is very appropriate, but should be well - flushing of salt! The salt is not very useful for birds.

Six Things You Should Do Before You Bring A Pet Home


Buying a pet is not like buying groceries at the supermarket. You have to plan the introduction of a new unit of life in you and your family. Some animals are easier to maintain, while others can be a handful. While your child has been complaining for the last two weeks for a pet, do your research before you run out to buy the animal or leave it in place. Before you make that move, below are seven things you should keep in mind, or have in place before the animal comes to his new home.
- Have a vet in mind
- to get food, shelter and toys
- read a book Guide About your new pet
- Consider a tag or microchip
- Pet Proof Your Home
- delegate the responsibility of caring for animals company

1.Have a vet in mind

This is one of the first steps to take especially if you go to a puppy. A vet should be the first order of the appeal. Ideally, the animal must have been in charge of making rational people got it, just make sure you have the job role. However, take the animal to a veterinarian for examination before going home. If you do not know of any Vets asking for references from people you know who have a similar pet store or call your pet. Other places to look are the Internet or the Yellow Pages

2.to get food, shelter and toys

Always plan ahead when it comes to housing and feeding. Make sure you have a variety of pet foods, especially your pet at home before he returns home. toys for pets are ready and also the cage, if it's a pet, which normally live in a cage. cat litter, make sure there is a bed and sleeping dogs, especially dog should not be used.

3.read a book Guide About your new pet

Read a guide to the animal that you are getting before you invest time and money. Know something about animal behavior, what they eat, what it is. His tastes and eating habits, frequency of drinking water and about you should have around them. The idea is to know something about your pet, and know more than they deal with it.

4.Consider a tag or microchip

Consider purchasing a necklace, a plate or a microchip inserted in your pet. Thus, if your pet is lost and has a chip, could easily be found through GPS, or if you have a plaque with your name and phone number to call, people coming through it can easily enter into contact with yourself.

5.Pet Proof Your Home

Pet proof your house or apartment, before the animal goes home. This is especially important for pets like dogs, who will share your room with you. Puppies are especially curious and like to play with what is in view. Tape lines or were out of sight. Your puppy is chewing through them for fun. Make sure that toilets are covered sitting and they will drink and lick your face later. Release of potentially dangerous things or lock them up, such as cleaning chemicals, pieces of furniture with sharp edges. Make sure your home is safe for animals.

6.delegate the responsibility of caring for animals company

Take care of your pets are a lot of work. If your children asked questions about pets, they must be prepared to take care of her. I bet before the PET came, they promised to make all pets and dog walking for miles on end. Enthusiasm is removable according to the company no longer new and interesting. Thus, the plan before hand, like adults Make sure you have the time to intervene when children do not fulfill their promise. Pets can not be ignored, because the junior has forgotten to take his or her power walk.
