Pet Safety Blog

Before I submit an article on wireless dog fences, I wanted to share an article just received on dog poisoning.  There have been three other deaths reported due to poisoning in the Spokane, Washington area recently and now another one just reported.  A fast acting poison that is used in pest management is similar to strychnine.  If a pet parent suspects poisoning, it has been advised to inject a water and hydrogen peroxide solution into the dog’s throat to cause vomiting.  I hope that this will save your dog if this happens to you.

Now, to the wireless dog fence, most cities have a dog leash policy to control dogs running loose and doing things in your neighbor’s yard that they should not be doing.  This can cause an unfriendly situation between you the pet parent, and your neighbor.  If your dog has a fenced yard, you will not have to worry about the whereabouts of your dog, or if you live in a restricted area that does not allow fenced yards.  A wireless  dog fence is your answer.  They are less expensive compared to having a traditional fence built, and leaves an appearance of not having a fence that takes away the beauty of your home.  A wireless dog can be placed in boundaries that you decide upon, such as keeping your dog out of your garden, flower beds, entrance to your front door, or wherever you want to control their running and playing, or just relaxing watching the traffic go by.  This is an awesome way of control and takes little time in the installation.  However, you must keep in mind that a wireless dog fence will not work if your ground is hilly or you have many trees in your area.  Not only can a wireless dog fence be used around the perimeter of your yard, but can be used inside your home as well.  Another way you can utilize a wireless fence is if you are going for an outing, you can take the wireless dog fence along and plug the control into your vehicles cigarette lighter, even into your boat, (do not forget their dog life jacket) if you are a boat enthusiasts.  Your dog will love it and you will love the convenience of having your dog go along with you, enjoying the fun and activities.  Be Happy!
