Never Let Your Pet Ride Without A Pet Car Seat

Letting your pet ride in your vehicle without a pet car seat is nothing short of irresponsible. You wouldn't let your child ride along without a proper safety restraint, so why risk your furry friend's safety?

In the event of a simple rear end fender bender, the force of a low speed impact is enough to throw a pet that isn't restrained in a pet car seat into your dashboard, perhaps breaking bones, causing internal injuries or worse. Just imagine what a high speed impact could do to your pet without the benefit of a pet car seat to provide some protection?

A pet car seat provides your pet with a safe place to ride, while keeping him contained in one place so he isn't obstructing your vision or access to the brake and steering wheel. A pet car seat is also quite comfortable, and most pets will generally snuggle up and ride in peace until you reach your destination.

A pet car seat is simple to use. The seat has a connecting strap that allows you to hook it securely to your vehicle seat. Then your pet is buckled into the harness that will keep him securely in the pet car seat. A pet car seat works much like the average child car seat, and is an affective safety aid for travelling pets.

The Paws Shop offers a large pet car seat selection that will help you provide safety for you beloved pet anytime you take him for a ride.

A Flashing Pet ID Tag Provides Extra Safety For Your Pet

It's happened to most of at one point or another; your pet makes a nighttime escape from your home or yard and bolts off into the dark. Of course you're going to take right off in search of the furry fool, but until you catch up with him wouldn't you feel better knowing his flashing pet ID tag makes him more visible to passing cars?

Our Flashing Automatic Pawprint Pet ID Tag can dramatically increase your pet's visibility at night. This pet ID tag flashes on and off to let passersby know something is there. It runs on a replaceable 3-volt lithium battery with an indicator to let you know when the power is almost gone. The light is trigger darkness and your pet's own movements.

A flashing pet ID tag also come in useful even it your pet hasn't run away. Do you enjoy taking nighttime jogs after the heat of day has dissipated? Take your dog with you knowing his flashing pet ID tag will alert others to his approach in advance.

Flashing pet ID tags are also great items to take along for your pet when you go camping. You don't want to keep your dog tied up the entire trip, and a flashing pet ID tag lets you easily see where he is if goes off a little ways for some nighttime foraging. His flashing pet ID tag will also warn woodland creatures of his approach, which may actually help keep your pet a little safer himself.

Why not attach a flashing pet ID tag to your pet's collar and rest a little easier knowing you're doing all you can to keep him safe?

Dogs Love Agility Training

Agility training for dogs is one of the fastest growing animal sports, and it provides a great opportunity for bonding with your pet. Conformation showing and obedience trails definitely have their place in the dog world, but nothing is more exciting for you and your pet than agility training.

Agility training is a wonderful sport that opens up the opportunity to travel all over the country with your pet. Agility training trails are offered in conjunction with many dog shows, and your local kennel club can help you find the agility training club closest to you. Then you have the advantage of drawing on the experience of professional agility training instructors and competitors to help you and your dog become the very best team you can be.

The Paws Shop offers a complete Dog Agility Training Obstacle Course Starter Kit to help you begin training with your pet.

Gulpy Portable Dog Water Bottle For Dogs On The Go

Your dog needs fresh water available to him at all times, even when you travel, so a portable dog water bottle is essential for keeping your pet properly hydrated at all times.

The Gulpy Portable Water Dispenser makes a perfect dog water bottle for your pet. It's convenient size and construction allow you to take this dog water bottle everywhere with the two of you.

A standard dog water bottle comes with a spout and ball stop. This type of dog water bottle depends on vacuum pressure to keep it from leaking, but it tends to leak anyway, causing puddling and frequently getting your dog wet too. The Gulpy portable dog water bottle has it's own fold down water bowl/cover that keeps it from leaking in your car, while allowing your dog to drink more naturally from a bowl than a spout.

Would you like to take your dog hiking with you? Take along your Gulpy dog water bottle too. Just fill it up and put it in your back pack and the two of you are ready to go. You'll never have to worry about your dog water bottle leaking and soaking your other supplies. It's also great for those warm summer days spent at the park or the beach.

A Gulpy portable dog water bottle is the perfect way to keep you pet supplied with fresh water any time the two of you are away from home.

Cat Scratch Fever? Try Scratching Toys!

Let's face it, cats have an undeniable urge to scratch, so they need scratching toys. Scratching is instinctual and completely natural, so unless you're prepared to have your cat's claws surgically removed, you need scratching toys to keep your pet working out that urge in the proper place.
If you don't provide your cat with scratching toys, you may as well consider it a license for him to have at your furniture and draperies, and the results are far from attractive.

Cats love our Cactus Style Cat Perch and Scratching Post. These items are more than scratching toys, they give your cat plenty of exercise too. A durable solid wood frame is covered in a plush fabric that makes these posts irresistible scratching toys for any feline. Watch your cat climb and scratch to his heart's content, especially when you use the catnip scent provided to enhance these scratching toys.

Few scratching toys are as much fun as our Play-n-Squeak Scratch Patch Interactive Cat Scratching Carpet. Hang this innovative scratching toy on any door knob and watch your cat go to work. This scratching toy is constructed from durable carpet matting with a rope handle. The squeaky mouse attached to the top of this scratching toys gives your cat added incentive to work out his cat scratch fever here instead of on your furniture.

It just makes good sense to provide your feline friends with scratching toys, so they can work out their natural urges without destroying your home. Scratching toys definitely make your pet easier to live with, and that leads to a long and healthy relationship.
