My dog is dark colored and to see him at night is very difficult going for the evening walk down the street and around the corner, but if it were not for lighted dog collars, dangerous situations causing accidents or even be killed could become very serious causing the pet parent and the dog great harm. Some pet parents do not like to walk their dog at night just for this reason, but then some may work late and do not have the time to walk their dog any earlier, therefore their dog should never be walked at night without their lighted dog collar. I hope that the dog will never run off from their pet parent during their evening walk, or run off for no apparent reason other than they were spooked by something and scared enough to run away. The few seconds a reflective lighted dog collar gives a driver in seeing you and your dog could mean the difference between life and death for the both of you.

We all care about our dog’s safety and it does not cost an arm and a leg to provide them with safe product that may someday save their life. Not only should lighted dog collars be a priority, but a regular collar as well, that holds information in case they were to get lost that provides names and telephone numbers for returning the lost dog to their pet parent. Sometime the color of a dog can make a difference and it is essential that a dark colored dog have a lighted dog collar. Another scenario of utilizing this type of dog collar is if you live out in the suburbs of town, or even way out in the country. If the pet parent happens to raise cattle, sheep, or goats and their dog is a working dog, it is very easy in keeping track of where your dog is, herding livestock back home to the barn. Be Happy!

Has your veterinarian ever checked your dog’s eyes for disease or any sort of irritations that may cause your dogs eyesight to diminish gradually? Pet parents have regular eye exams, why not your dog? Eyelashes can cause irritation to the eye and your dog may be rubbing their eyes with their paws trying to get some comfort. This is usually a good sign that there is some sort of problem that needs checking into for abnormality of their eyes. An eyelid tumor may be forming which is not uncommon in different breeds of dogs that have heavy folds in their facial features. These breeds are most susceptible that have those wonderful crinkles and folds on their face, and how can you not love them, just look at that face, but evidentially may have problems with their lower eyelids.

Cataracts can become a problem for your dog especially at night. This is of concern when walking your dog at night without proper lighting.

Have You Choosen the Right Collar for Your Dog?

c eothe — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:22:58 +0000

Choosing the correct dog safety collar for your pet depends on several things that will help in deciding the correct size for their collar. The breed and the size of your dog will be the guideline in choosing properly. Large breeds look good in heavier collars that show off their masculinity if your dog is a male and a feminine collar if they are a female. They always look so majestic and dignified and are worthy of attention. Small dogs have their day too because they look adorable with their fashionable safety collars showing everyone how stylish and pampered they are. Obedience training requires dog safety collars in training to learn commands from their pet parent, and usually this collar is slightly different from the norm. Dog collars are a safety factor in case they were to get lost. Identification tags have information with name, address, phone number, veterinarian information, and usually the dog’s name so they are returned to their pet parents safely. Dog collars are practical and fashionable, and every dog needs at least one or two collars in be in style.

The comfort and safety is important for your dog, therefore make sure the collar that you choose is the correct size and fits properly, not to rub their necks and create problems. You do not want your dog’s collar to be too loose, nor too tight, so finding the right fit is the first rule of thumb when purchasing collars for your dog. Your dog could slip their head out of their collar if the fit in incorrect for the size of your dog and the size of their neck. You should be able to determine the fit by putting your thumb or other finger inside between the collar and the dog’s neck. The collar can be too small if you can fit more than one finger between the neck and the collar on a small dog. The size of your dog’s head and neck determines the correct size for comfort and safety. The important thing to keep in mind is fitting your dog with a collar that would be strong enough if by some chance they see something that excites them and makes a run for it. You could be dragged along with your pet when you least expect it. Be Happy!

Terrible accidents can happen to our wonderful pets by not being cognizant involving their pet collars. Pet collars are for pet outings, and walks with their pet parent, or around the house. Identification tags are attached to the pet’s collar with medical information, pet’s name, name of pet parent and telephone number. Some tags contain their veterinarian’s name and phone number as well. If your pet were to get lost, the necessary information would be on their collar for locating their pet parent with information to notify them where to find their pet. Pet collars should not be too tight around their neck, and you should be able to put two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck.

However, there should be precautions taken if your pet has their own kennel and/or crate. This is their place of sanctuary but accidents can happen. Accidents have happened to pets that were in there kennel and/or crate and strangled themselves. Trying to turn around in their quarters that are too small is a dangerous situation. The size should be measured according to the size of your dog. Their tags or collars can hook on something and cannot get loose. This is not something you as a pet parent want to see. Pet parents need to be aware of such a problem, so a dog safety collar, especially a dog breakaway collar should be part of their accessories. It is not such a big deal to have several collars anyway. Use the breakaway collar when they are in there kennel/crate, or even wear it around the home, just in case. Dog breakaway collars are affordable and could avoid a catastrophe, but these types of collars are not be used to socialize your dog or out for a walk. They may become excited over other dogs or even sometime humans and break away. Dogs can detect danger. Depending on the surroundings where they play or wherever you feel comfortable will relieve the pet parent from worrying about the safety of their dog. Seems as though there are precautions on everything these days, so by using the correct dog safety collar at the appropriate times, your pet will be safe. One other thing to consider is if your dog’s eyesight is not as good, a lighted collar is sure handy for walking your dog at night, and vehicles will be aware of you and your dog. Be Happy!

Hiking with Your Dog Can Be Fun

c eothe — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:30:19 +0000

Hiking has become popular in many states, and pet parents want to take their dogs along for fun and exercise. Sometime just getting away from the normal routine of everyday life is rejuvenating, for both you and your pet. There are many wonderful experiences in observing nature and breathing fresh air, but there are precautions that need addressing. One concern in being safe is not to use your flexi-leads for hiking. Your dog could get tangled up and cause more concern than it is worth. Use common sense and never allow your dog to run loose if the area has rules regarding unleashed dogs. If free running is permissible, training your dog to be obedient to all of your commands will pay off. If not, there could be a real problem. Just be safe and have fun.

Make sure all of your dog’s veterinary records are up to date, and all identification tag information has the current pet parents’ phone number, name of dog, rabies tag, and your cell phone number. Attach the tags to the dog safety collar or their dog harness. Losing your dog is an awful experience and should be a concern for taking precautions. Take water along for you and your dog to prevent dehydration, but do not allow them to drink out of streams, lakes, or ponds. The water can be contaminated with parasites or toxins of some kind. Don’t forget to take along baggies to clean up after your dog. Do not think just because you are out in the woods they can poop anywhere, and you do not have to pick up after them. When your hike is over and you go home, be sure and check your dog for insect bites, ticks, and other crawling insects. You want this to be a joyful adventure for just the two of you, so just take care and observe. Be Happy!

Collar and Leash Training For Your Puppy

c eothe — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:35:45 +0000

A dog collar is first, and then a little later, comes a leash, which is different lengths, and depending on the strength of your dog may be a factor in considering the style for control. A dog leash is necessary in walking your dog and will eventually cause excitement when they see their pet parents remove the leash from its resting place. They will associate what it means, and what is its purpose. Give your puppy time to grow before introducing them to a dog leash. Usually around 4 to 6 weeks old will be a good time for training.

Gently secure a dog safety collar around their neck being careful not to fasten it too tight. The rule of thumb is usually tightening it to where you can insert two fingers between the collar and their neck. Let your puppy get use to wearing it, because once a collar is attached, they will always have it on. That is not saying you cannot remove it once in awhile, but remember this collar will have identification tags if your puppy was to get lost. Clip a leash on their dog safety collar and let them walk around with it on. Leave it on for a while, and then remove it. Do not let your puppy play with it; this will detract from what its purpose is. After awhile start all over again, inside the home, or go outside in your back yard, but let them get use to pulling it around. Puppies can run very fast at their early stage of life, so preparing them to a leash will protect them and maintain their security. When you think your puppy is ready, take hold of the leash and try to walk with them. Continuous training in walking your puppy with their leash will gradually come into place, and you and your dog can practice taking a short walk down the street. Beware of other dogs that may want to interfere, so caution must be realized that your new trainee is not able to cope with this situation right away. Practice, Practice. Be Happy!
