Puppy Toys for Teething

Chew toys are not only fun for puppies, but they help to clean teeth and relieve pain. Plus, they freshen breath and make your pup’s mouth smell better.

When picking out a chew toy, consider your puppy’s current size and the materials that are safe for their teeth. A toy that is too hard for your dog’s mouth may cause them injury.

1.   Kong

Puppies chew a lot, so it’s important to give them appropriate toys during teething. Chewing helps to relieve pain and stimulate their gums, so choosing the right chew toys can help reduce discomfort and keep your furniture safe.

One of the most popular chew toys is Kong, which has a soft puppy rubber formula and flexible grooves that make it easy for dogs to stuff treats inside. The hollow center and flexible ridges can hold wet or dry kibble, squeaky bones, cheese, peanut butter, turkey, or other treats.

The teething stick also has exclusive Denta-Ridges that gently clean the mouth as your pup chews, soothing swollen gums and promoting good oral hygiene while they play. Stuffing a KONG with treats can encourage your puppy to chew on their toy for longer, and you can even freeze them to prolong the fun.

Frozen dog toys can be a great way to relieve swollen gums and soothe sore mouths, but it’s best to choose a toy that’s made specifically for freezing rather than a toy that could get too hard or brittle when frozen.

Airline Approved Car Carriers – How to Choose the Right One

Airline Approved Car Carriers - How to Choose the Right One

If you plan to take your dog with you on a plane, you will need a pet airline that is approved by the airline … and you must do your homework before buying it. The term “pet carrier” is rather generic so let’s start by breaking things down a little.

If you have a very small dog (such as one of the teacup breeds) then you can easily use a soft-sided carrier which is often just called a pet bag and you will be able to keep your dog with you in the cabin. If your dog is large (such as a German Shepherd or Golden Retriever) then you will actually need a hard-sided dog crate or dog cage and your pet will need to travel in the cargo section.

Between sized dogs or large-breed young puppies

For the in-between sized dogs or large-breed young puppies, things get a bit more tricky. You’ll need to be sure to measure the carrier, measure your dog, and check with the airline you will be using to see what their requirements are.

While airlines may vary slightly, here are some general guidelines for the sizes that will likely be accepted for in-cabin pet carriers.

  • Small – 16″ long x 10″ wide x 8.5″ in height – suitable for pets up to 8 lbs            
  • Medium – 18″ long x 11″ wide x 10.5″ in height – suitable for pets up to 16 lbs            
  • Large – 20″ long x 11.75″ W x 11.5″ in height

Designer Dog Accessories

Designer Dog Accessories

Thanks to designer dog accessories there is now no limit as to how much money you can spend on your dog. From diamond dog collars and posh dog beds, if you want it for your dog, odds are someone is selling it.

Thanks to many people treating their pets more and more like children, people don’t see any reason not to splurge on them and give them the best that money can buy.

While designer dog accessories were originally just made by pet suppliers, now even large fashionable boutique stores are getting in on the act.

One company sells a collar ornament that has 1,600 diamonds, which totals 52 carats, with one stone alone being 7 carats. While another one sells dog leashes handcrafted from exotics skins that start around $1,800. Or how about a 4 post handcrafted dog bed with canopy for $19,000.

While these are extreme examples you can pamper your pouch for much less than that. Some lower cost ways to splurge on your pouch include taking them to the groomers or how about a doggy massage.

These days you can even buy insurance for your dog to help keep them healthy and happy. Some more inclusive dog policies can cost well over $100 a month and include coverage for everything, from exams and vaccinations, to spays and neuters.

Even dog food has undergone a major upgrade with gourmet versions available for kibble as well as for dog treats. So no matter what you want for your … Read More >>>
