The Importance of Socializing Your Puppy

- by Jarrod Marcelino

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say “I don’t need to socialize my puppy because he won’t be going outside.” And then I have to explain that it’s not just about going outside. Puppies learn by watching their peers, and if they don’t see other dogs or humans for the first several weeks of their lives, then they may never learn what is appropriate behavior in those situations later on. So let’s talk about why socialization is important and how early you should start doing it with your puppy!

Puppies learn by watching and copying their peers.

Puppies learn by watching and copying their peers.

This is why it’s so important to socialize your puppy with other dogs, humans and environments early on in his or her life. He will learn how to play with other puppies, what it means when a stranger approaches him, how to react when he sees other animals on walks–and much more! As you know from your own childhood experiences, being around others helps us develop into well-rounded individuals who are able to navigate the world around us with confidence and self-assurance. Puppies need this type of socialization just as much …

The Best Durable Dog Toys

Choosing the right dog toys can be a daunting task. Some toys are designed to withstand chewing, but others aren’t. If you’re looking for durable dog toys, here are some suggestions that have stood up to my own dogs’ jaws:

Stuffed Animals.

Stuffed animals are one of the best durable dog toys on the market. They’re great for keeping your dog entertained, and they can help improve your dog’s mental health by improving their attention span. Stuffed animals are also a great way to bond with your pet, as many dogs love cuddling up against them or playing with them in other ways.

Stuffed animals should be made from soft materials that aren’t harmful if swallowed by your pet (this includes stuffing). Some dogs like to rip apart stuffed toys and eat them–if this sounds like something you need protection against, consider buying non-edible dog toys instead!

Nylabone Dura Chew.

Nylabone Dura Chew is the best durable dog toy for dogs that like to chew. It’s made of nylon, rubber and other materials, so it’s both durable and non-toxic. It can also be used as a fetch toy, treat dispenser or dental chew toy for puppies!

Some Help To Consider When Selecting A Cat Rescuer

- by Jarrod Marcelino

When you decide to adopt a cat, it’s important to make sure that they get the right home. If you’re looking for a cat rescue organization that will help you find your new best friend, here are some tips to consider before making your decision:

Where Is The Cat Rescue Located?

There are a few things to consider when choosing where to take your cat. The first is the location of the rescue itself. If you have family or friends who live nearby and you can drop off your pet there, this may be an ideal option for you. However, if they don’t live close by or aren’t able to help out with transportation needs, then it may be more convenient for everyone involved if they are closer in proximity to where you live.

Another factor that should be taken into account when choosing a cat rescue is how far away from home it is located and how accessible transportation options will be after dropping off your pet at their facility. While most people would prefer taking their furry friend directly home after leaving them at a shelter/rescue center (and many shelters do provide this service), sometimes circumstances do not …

Exotic Pets I Wouldn’t Mind Having

Exotic pets can be great for people who have a lot of time to dedicate to their animal’s care. They’re often very cute and friendly, but they also require a lot of care and attention. If you’re thinking about getting an exotic pet, it’s important to research how much upkeep the animal requires before making a final decision.

Sugar glider

Sugar gliders are small marsupials with a pouch, and they are known for being social animals that enjoy living in pairs. They’re also active during the day and night, so you’ll want to make sure your sugar glider has plenty of space to roam around.

Sugar gliders can be trained to use a litter box or harness if you have patience! They don’t like being handled much (that’s why they’re called “pocket pets”), but if you do want to hold one while it’s awake, just make sure not too many people are around because sugar gliders will get stressed out easily when they’re scared or overwhelmed.

If you’re interested in having one as an exotic pet but aren’t sure how much work goes into caring for them yet? Check out this article: http://www3b1b6f0ca6a7c8d26cb3ff7f6e2dd94e-wpengine
