Tips to Help You With Your Pets

By: Hal Stormi

Pets are wonderful things. For most of us, they become a member of our family, an indispensable one. If you are a pet owner or thinking of becoming one, here are some helpful hints you might want to know.

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. Dry Dog Wash – If you don’t have time to give your dog a bath and they smell bad, you can give them a rub down with baking soda to take the edge off.

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. Giving Aspirin to Cats – Aspirin is a wonder drug, but don’t give it to cats. They react really poorly to it and it can even kill them.

6. Skunk Odors on Dogs – Inquisitive dogs often pay the price with skunks. To get skunk smell off, wash your dog with tomato juice. Then wash them with regular shampoo and rinse. You might have to do it twice.

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. Pets In Pools – Throwing a ball into a pool for a pet to chase is a favorite pastime. Swimming is good for their hips, but watch their fur. It can dry out the skin because of the clorine.

10. Pets Pulling Skateboards – Dogs inevitably end up as sled dogs if your kids have skateboards. You should know the leash is strangling them. Get a brace that goes around their chest instead.

Ultimately, owning a pet almost always works out for the best. The only time there are problems is if you don’t understand your pet or fail to take care of it. If you want to play with your pet during the day, don’t by one that is naturally active at night!
