Tips To Help You With Your Pets

I highly recommend adding a pet to your family, even it if is just you. They are simply tremendous, but you have to make sure you understand their needs for it to be a good two way relationship. With that in mind, here are some tips to make you a good pet owner.

1. Puppy Chewing Furniture - If you have a new puppy and he or she is chewing your furniture, you can use a homemade remedy. Rub a little oil of cloves on the areas being chewed. It is bitter and will make them stop.

2. Physically Disciplining Cats - You should not hit or swipe at your cat. Instead, discipline them with a water spray bottle. If you do it yourself, the cat will avoid you at all cost.

3. Removing Burrs in Dog Fur - Dogs inevitably get all kinds of things in their fir. With burrs, the first step is to smash them with pliers. Next, rub oil into the fur and then pull the burr out.

4. Pets Marking Territory - If your pet urinates in the house, clean it up right away. Make sure to get the smell out or your pet will come back and do it again to mark its territory.

5. Pets Hate Baths - Nearly every pet hates baths. Heck, they can even understand you when you spell the word out. Bring a toy or two in to the bathroom to calm them down.

6. Prevent Dog Fleas - To prevent your dog getting fleas, you need to employee the power of yeast. Give your dog yeast pills with their food and it will keep the fleas off.

7. Careful When Picking Names - Picking a name for a pet is good fun, but you need to be careful. A human name can be embarrassing when someone comes over that has the same one.

8. Exotic Pet Vets - If you are going to get an exotic pet, put the brakes on. First make sure there is a vet in the area that can handle any medical needs.

9. One Pet or Two - If you don't have kids, you need to give some thought to getting a pet. Won't it be bored all day when you are at work? You might want to get two so they can keep each other company.

10. Dog Tennis Ball - Tennis balls are a dogs favorite toy. They are also bad for their jaws. Get a medically approved ball at the local store.

The longer you have a pet, the more human they will become to you. A tight bond will inevitably be formed. To live up to your end of the bargain, make sure you understand the needs of your pet so you can have a long, happy time together.
