Your Tiny Pet Will Love a Pet Sling
I know all of you have at some time or another seen mothers carrying their small babies in something that looks like a pouch hanging around their neck. Well there is a product for small pets called a pet sling, sometimes referred to as a pet carrier. Taking our 
precious ones wherever we go is natural in bonding and feels good to have them close. Pet slings come in a variety of colors and are for doggies that weigh 25 pounds or less. Pet slings are easy to use and allows the pet parent to have their hands free to take care of other tasks. Some slings allow you to carry your pet in several different positions for additional comfort. There are also different ways to use the sling, sometime on your shoulders as if you would carry a shoulder bag, or around your neck. This type of sling may not be appropriate for anyone that may have back problems, but there is a pet carrier that distributes your pet’s weight across both of your shoulders and back, providing back support. Traveling with your pet and carrying them in a sling is stylish and pleasing to the eye. Some airports allow the use of frontal pet carriers walking through terminals, but only until you are ready to board the plane. Your hands would be free to carry your luggage along with the pet carrier, but before you do this, check with the airport. It will still be a requirement to put them back into their pet carrier so you can slip your pet under your seat. This type of travel is causing many conversational concerns with other passengers having allergies to pets.
Pet slings work well with pets that are disabled and have arthritis problems, missing a limb, heart disease, or diabetes. This situation requires special needs and the pet sling will offer the loving and caring that a pet parent can 
give to their disabled pet. They will be able to accompany their pet parents in going for walks, shop with them, or just doing daily activities, and still be able to enjoy the nourishment and stimulation outdoors and indoors snuggled close to their parent. Never use the pet sling as a car seat, or a bicycle seat, and do not wear the sling if traveling in a motorized vehicle, bicycle, scooter, skateboard or any similar activity. Accidents do happen and you and your pet could be seriously injured or killed. Make this an enjoyable pleasure. Be Happy!
A Little Something Extra to Care For Your Senior Pets
Many products are now available to assist in caring for your senior dog, and even your pet bunny. As they grow older, problems start to appear and 
their dependency is upon their pet parents to make life easier and bearable. The different breeds of dogs have a different life span and as pet parents, the need to provide solutions in making their lives more adaptable, is well worth the effort. If you allow your dog to hang their head out of the vehicle window (which is not recommended), there are window bumpers that have a cushion for your dog to rest their head on for safety and slides on the top of the window. During travel or taking your dog walking, a portable spill proof water bottle container is handy keeping your dog hydrated. You carry a water bottle I bet, just for this same purpose. Have you seen the handy dispenser that holds biodegradable poop bags that attach to your dogs leash? What a neat idea.
Additional products offered in caring for our senior dogs are becoming more in demand in care giving. A sturdy mobility harness and a support harness working together for dogs that have arthritis, or severe hip problems, will be of upmost help to care for senior pets that have difficulty getting up and down. Mobility problems are the biggest challenge for your senior dog and understanding what all of these products have to offer including dog wheelchairs and used dog wheelchairs are affordable for them to live a long and happier life. Summer is just around the corner and the excitement of taking your dog along for a ride has always 
been fun for pet parents. Short rides are fun with so many different products available keeping your pet safe, but long rides or even vacations can be somewhat stressful in containing your active doggy, kitty or bunny. Controlling the activity of your dog riding in your vehicle includes many ideas. A pet carrier that can snap in and out of your vehicle similar to a carrier for a baby, is handy. It can be secured with a lap seat belt that will snap in or out in seconds with a quick release. This particular pet carrier will accommodate your pet up to 15 pounds, and can be used as a kennel, if needed. Please consider all of these wonderful products for your senior pet care. Be Happy!
Small Doggies Love To Go Shopping
It is a nice sunny day outside and you decide you want to go to your local mall, walk around shopping and enjoy your day, but you want to take your doggie along with you. Taking a large dog shopping is beginning to take hold in various stores, which I think is awesome, but your large dog will need extra care holding on to their leash and trying to pick up supplies, goodies, or whatever with only one hand. Your hands are not entirely free in controlling your dog. I know, I have one. However, if you have a small dog, purchasing a pet sling to carry on 
your shoulders would be ideal. You have your pet snuggling close to your heart while you still have the use of both hands. Let’s face it, they are adorable, and keeping them safe and close will avoid any unnecessary chances of other dog’s bothering them, and children wanting to pet them and give them a hug. Some dogs do not particularly care for that gesture and could decide to bite them out of fear and uncertainty.
There are many varieties of pet carriers and slings to choose from that will be just perfect for you and your dog to enjoy the closeness of cuddling, and at the same time bonding. This is wonderful for complete companionship. It is true that some pet parents prefer larger dogs rather than small dogs, 
and that is okay, but look at it this way, someone has to love and take care of them little ones. Large dogs have that excitement with their pet parents, just in a different way. The most important thing for you to consider is that you will have the support needed in carrying your dog with you, and that you and your dog are comfortable together in doing so. Be Happy!
Step Aside Doggie, It Is Time for Kitty Cat
Let us face it, cats are quite different from dogs, but are still great pets to have, even though I have never had one. Only barn cats years ago. Cats are soft and cuddly and mainly stay to themselves, except at din-din time. At least this is what I was told. Like all pets, they like the comfort and warmth of your home, and can be an asset at times, especially if you have a mouse in the house. Cats do need to stay healthy so visits to the veterinarian are necessary. If for some reason the vet prescribes medication for your cat, 
you need to go right out and buy a book on how to give the medication, without having to go through animal abuse reported by your neighbor. When your cat is a kitten, train them to go into a container, this is what cat carriers are for, so when the time comes, you will not have to go through a war zone chasing your beloved all over the house, trying to get them into the carrier. Once accepted by your cat, these containers are great for moving your cat around or taking them places to be with you.
However, back to administering the medication, I read a hilarious article about doing just that. The article said to crawl on your hands and knees toward your cat, placing your ankles together or crossing them, to give your cat a snuggling place to back up into for a secure fit. I would think that a towel between your legs would prevent your cat from scratching the tar out of you, but that is just my thought. Restrain their front legs, put your chin on the top of their head, placing your thumb and finger towards the back of 
your cat’s mouth where there are no teeth, and popping the pill in and holding their mouth shut. I can almost picture this procedure, but reading about it, I just about died out laughing. Don’t think I would want to go through all that commotion, its bad enough trying to give my own dog a pill. Be Happy!
