posted by Jim Murphy

automatc feederPersonally, I like feeding my cats myself. My older cat Molly requires a special diet so an automatic feeder would not work for me . There are lots of advantages for purchasing an automatic cat feeder. If your away on a short business trip and are worried about who is going to feed your cats. o Will they get the the correct portions? Will they get fed on schedule? Having an automatic cat feeder will eliminate these concerns. These feeders ensure that your pet always gets fed just the right amount, right on time. Another advantage with portion control, you can control weight. Meals are convenient and consistent. Regular meals promote healthy digestion.

If you feel that an automatic cat feeder with benefit your cat and your own lifestyle, then I wouldn’t hesitate in buying one for your little friend.

Ensuring That You Dog’s Toys Are Safe

dogchewtoysYour dog loves his dog toys but some may be safer than others. Dogs love to chew and it’s important to know what toys are the safest for your best friend. The Humane Society has put together some very good guidelines on how to ensure that all of your dog’s toys are safe including his chew toys.

Many factors contribute to the safety or danger of a toy, and a number of them depend upon your dog’s size, activity level and preferences. Another factor to be considered is the environment in which your dog spends his time. Although we can’t guarantee the safety of any specific toy, we can offer the following guidelines.
The things that are usually most attractive to dogs are often the very things that are the most dangerous. Dog-proof your home by removing string, ribbon, rubber bands, children’s toys, pantyhose and anything else that could be swallowed.
Toys should be appropriate for your dog’s size. Balls and other toys that are too small can easily be swallowed or become lodged in your dog’s throat.
Avoid or alter any toys that aren’t “dog-proof” by removing ribbons, strings, eyes or other parts that could be chewed off and/or ingested. Discard toys that start to break into pieces or are torn.
Take note of any toy that contains a “squeaker” buried in its center. Your dog may feel that he must find and destroy the source of the squeaking, and he could ingest it. Supervise your dog’s play with squeaky toys.
Check labels for child safety. Look for stuffed toys that are labeled as safe for children under three years of age and that don’t contain any dangerous fillings. Problem fillings include nutshells and polystyrene beads, but even “safe” stuffings aren’t truly digestible. Remember that soft toys are not indestructible, but some are sturdier than others. Soft toys should be machine washable.

Remember, your pets count!
