Traveling with Pets on a Plane

August 6th 2010 13:44
When traveling on a plane with your pet, you want to be very careful, as there are many stories of people losing their pet in travel. The best thing to do is to try to find one way flights without any lay overs; you may have to spend a little more on the ticket, but the likelihood of keeping tabs on your pet is a little better.


Other options, may include finding a sitter for your pet while you go on vacation, but if you're not going on vacation, but moving instead, flying may be the only options.

Before you travel with your pet on a plane, make sure that he is up to date on shots, has his microchip, and an airline approved travel kennel.

Travel with Pets in the Car

August 4th 2010 13:28
When traveling with your pet, it can be very stressful for both you and your pet, which is why it's always good to reduce the amount of stress on your pet so that you can reduce your stress.

You want your pet to be safe, and you want to reduce the headache of having to worry about him.

The most important thing that you need to consider is making sure that you have proper restraint for your pet, whether that be a kennel, seat belt, or some kind of harness. A safe travel crate is probably the best way to keep your pet confined in the car. You want the crate to be well ventilated and secured so that it won't go flying throughout the car.

Safety Tips for Traveling in the Car with Your Pet

For pets that get car sick and nervous in the car, you may want to consider a sedative, depending on how severe your pet's reactions are and how far you may be traveling.

Treating a Snake Bite

January 11th 2010 21:49
Whether you're concerned that your pet snake will bite you or you're just doing to research to make sure that you know how to handle the situation, it's always a good thing to know what to do. First off, even if you're snake is non-venomous, you don't want to play around and say it's ok to get bit. Those people who are not scared of getting bit by their pet snakes are more likely to have less fear of any snake, as sub-consciously they're just not thinking about it.

Any snake can and will bite under the right circumstances, so just because you've got a non-venomous, docile temperament snake, that doesn't mean you won't ever get bit.

Ball pythons are considered one of the most docile pet snakes, and mine is pretty docile, but he's bitten me. I have heard of several cases where a pet ball python bit the owner. Sometimes it's accident. Sometimes it's food and hunger. No matter what the case is, if you're going to have a pet snake, you need to make sure that you know proper treatment and prevention to snake bites.

Checking Online Classifieds for Pets

October 30th 2009 17:47
When checking online classifieds for pets, you want to be careful of who you give your money to. There are many scams that are online where people post animals that they don't have, you send payment, whether money order or paypal payment, and never receive an animal. Sometimes, you may receive an animal, but it may not be the one you though you were going to get. There are many crooks in the world, so be careful of who you buy from. Find reputable people as best as you can.

* It's highly recommended that you see the animal before you pay, if locally.
* If the animal is being shipped, ask for pictures and find out what guarantee is offered in case the animal is not what is pictured, ill, or dead upon arrival.
* Ask for weights of the animals, if being shipped, and you must pay before shipping. When you receive the animal, weigh it to see if the weight was accurate.
* If you are going to pick up the pet, ask to see the parents, if it's a puppy, kitten, or other animal that was bred by the person.
* If possible, do research on a business board of inquire, to see if anyone has done business with the person before.

When doing business on the internet, just use common sense. Sometimes that's all that you need.

Miniature Animals Make Fun Pets

December 13th 2008 22:06
Everyone loves the large and over-sized animal, but no one can resist the mini version. I mean, think about it, horses are great and majestic creatures, but a miniature horse (IE a pony) is hard to resist.

There are a number of miniature animals that people keep as pets besides your average miniature dog or cat breed. Yes, there are miniature cats. There are also different reasons why different people prefer the miniature versions, typically it's just because they're so much cuter, but in many cases it's also a space issue. Face it, the larger the animal the more space it takes up
