Tidbits of Advice for Pet Owners

By: Hal Stormi..

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. Homemade Dog Perfume – When washing your dog, it is hard to avoid soapy smells afterwards. Or is it? You can mix lemon juice in with the final rinse water to avoid that soapy smell in their fur.

4. Pets and Baseball – If you happen to be close to San Diego, take your pup to a Padres game. The grassy area beyond centerfield is often opened to dogs.

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. Dogs Urinate on Walks – If your dog is urinating frequently on walks, don’t worry. He or she is just marking their territory.

7. Pain Killer Misunderstandings – Just because your pet is now on painkillers does not mean he is back to normal. The medication is relieving the pain, not curing the problem. Don’t assume they are ready to be active again.

8. Exotic Pet Problems – It may seem like a good idea to get a unique pet, but be warned. They have unique needs and you may be surprised how much maintenance there is.

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 Sits Down Suddenly – A dog that sits down suddenly is hurt. He or she has a problem with their back hips. They often will not make a sound, but will refuse to move. See a vet immediately.

Whether you are getting a dog, cat or something more exotic, understanding the needs of your pet is good place to start. Although we all tend to lend human qualities to our pets, they are not human. Make sure you take care of them based on knowledge.
