Pet Pampering Business is Booming - by Sharon Glorsky

Pet Pampering Business is Booming

It's no secret that Americans love their pets. In fact, we spend
billions of dollars every year on feeding, grooming, and vet
visits, as well as toys and other pampering supplies. Chances
are your town even has some kind of gourmet retail outlet for dog
and cat treats.

It's a fact that the pet industry is booming and shows no signs
of slowing down. In fact, it has actually become stylish for
people to pamper their pets with playthings, carriers, treats,
and more. As you walk down the street or watch celebrities on
TV, you'll see more and more people who love to adorn their
beloved dogs or cats with shiny accessories or outlandish
outfits.

Not everyone wants to carry their dog in their purse the way
Paris Hilton has been doing, but more and more of us are
discovering that our pets need plenty of love and attention, just
like kids and adults require.

If you're not ready to spoil your pet with lavish gifts and
gourmet treats just yet, start small. For example, when
traveling with your cat, buy something better than your typical
carrier. When shopping for pet transportation, look at the
products carefully, and ask yourself if you would be comfortable
riding in that for so many hours. If the answer is no, your cat
probably won't be that comfy either.

When taking Fido for a walk, think about that collar and leash.
Don't you think it would hurt to wear that tight collar,
especially with the tension of a leash? Instead, why not invest
just a little bit more in a harness-style restraint that allows
even distribution of that pressure. And if you really love your
dog, buy one that sparkles or shows a bit of personality.

As any pet lover knows, dogs, cats, and other animals all have a
distinct personality, just as we do. We all want our cars,
homes, clothing, and accessories to display a bit about who we
are and what we like, and our pets deserve the same.

  • The Different Breeds Of Dogs - The American Kennel Club recognizes 150 different dog breeds. There are seven different groups in which the dog can belong. They are assigned to one of the groups based on what the breed of dog was originally developed for. There is also a miscellaneous group if the dog doesn’t fit into one of the seven. The seven different dog groups are as follows. The first is the sporting group. These dogs were developed to work with people who hunted birds.
  • Distemper in Dogs - Home Detection Tips - Distemper: Spotting This Dog Killer Before it's Too Late Canine distemper is a devastating disease. It often crops up in seemingly healthy pets without any warning. What’s more, distemper often mimics benign problems, like the common cold. This is truly the most insidious aspect of this illness. Sadly, many cases progress to the point where they are no longer treatable before the owner even realizes what's happened.
  • Dog Clicker Training - Dog clicker training is so much fun for both dogs and people that the training part just slips in! Dog clicker training gets the dog to figure out what you want, making it an enjoyable game. This wonderful, cruelty-free method is revolutionizing dog training! Have you tried it yet? It's quite easy to learn at a basic level, and once you and your dog get the habit, it can be used for many enjoyable tricks as well as for all the essentials of training.
  • Crate Training Your Puppy or Dog - Introducing your puppy to the crate should be an easy and fun process. First, start by putting the crate somewhere the puppy enjoys being. Try the family room or wherever everyone "hangs out". Open the door and just let your puppy explore at his own pace. Reward him for going near it by tossing a cheerio or some other small treat. To teach the words "kennel" (I use go to bed) Just toss in a treat and say the word. Don't shut the door everytime. Never shove your dog in a crate.
