Pet Winter Gifts

This time of year is the best time to buy your furry friend any kind of thing you want to buy for them. For one, the holidays are here. And two, everything is on sale at stores. I bet you can find a sweater for you dog for less than five dollars. Usually sweaters are between ten to thirty dollars a piece when they are not on sale. I bought a pair of doggy pajamas for Darcy (Shih-Tzu) off of ebay for about twelve dollars. To us, that is a big bargain because I have looked at a pair of pajamas at a pet store, and they were between twenty and thirty dollars each.
Good Luck on you Bargain Hunting for your furry friends. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Getting Your Pets Ready For Winter

This winter it's predicted to be in the below zero range. Make sure you don't keep your pet outside too long and don't forget to put their doggy boots and coat on to keep them warm. If you hear there is bad weather coming, make sure you and your pets have a surplus of foods. You don't want them to get hungry nor yourself if you get snowed in. If your dog is the color white, make sure you put them in a coat that isn't white, otherwise you might not be able to see them in the snow. Even though it is going to be winter, keep walking your pets, but don't walk them in below freezing temperatures. Doing that, may cause frost bite and other serious conditions to both you and your pet.

Happy Halloween!!!

Thinking about dying you pet's fur??

If you are trying to dye your pets hair, don't do it. It is very harmful to your pets skin to use human hair dye and can cause irritation to your pet. You can go to your groomer and ask them to dye you pets fur. It is less harmful and is non-toxic because it is for pets. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to buy pet hair dye online because you never know what's in it.
