Im not here asked:


I have always cringed at the site of outside dogs they are either free roaming, tied up with a crappy dog house for cover or in a kennel all day and night. If you own a dog and keep him outside morning noon and night, why even own a dog anyway! They are part of the family and I can’t imagine them being happy out there all the time. They need walked, socialized and to be in good health and clean smelling. I live in a big city where alot of the people keep their dogs outside and it’s an inconvience to not be able to sleep soundly at night. They use these dogs as burglar alarms or they sell drugs and want some type of alert system, so they have dogs tied up in various spot over their yards. Even with a large kennel your dog is not getting what it needs in life. Why have a dog if you aren’t going to care for them properly? Why not let them out during the day and crate them at night?
if you live in the country and have more than an acre and your dog is loose, this question is not geared towards you! This ? is geared towards the dogs that have no where to go!!!

We had rodents in our attic and our exterminator poisoned them but now they SMELL! The exterminator will not remove them because my husband signed the “not liable for dead rodent” contract without telling me. I can’t use air fresheners because I am allergic to them and can’t open the windows because it’s winter! So what can I do? We are trying to sell our house and no one will buy if it smells like rotting rodents!
Also we cannot get into our attic without buying a taller ladder. Yeah it’s ladder access only!

I have two female cats; they are both spayed. Every once in awhile it seems like every cat in the neighborhood comes to visit them. One of our cats, Kitty, also gets in the habit of ****** on things inside the house during this time. She doesn’t do anything else that makes it seem like she’s in heat. Even though they’re spayed, might one of them be attracting other cats? Is Kitty marking her territory? Any suggestions? I can deal with the cat visits but not the ******.

I have heard that some reptiles carry a recessive strain of sceptacemia which isnt harmful to most people but c an be dangerous for young babies or those with immune deficiencies. I am considering getting an iguana but im a childminder and i dont want to endanger any of the young children i care for. Would simply not allowing them to handle the iguana and washing my own hands after touching it be enough to ensure this or is there a greater risk that i am unaware of? Thanks

This leads to problems for both humans and ultimately the reptiles themselves. More often than not, people purchase reptiles for the wrong reasons. They often purchase on impulse or because they think it will make them look cool amongst their friends.

 Your decision to purchase any reptile must not be taken lightly. A reptile in captivity depends on its owner completely. Unable to care for itself, it is at the mercy of the caregiver and without the proper care, can lead to health problems and even death.

 To neglect responsibility as an owner can mean torture for your newly acquired reptile.  If you think a reptile is incapable of emotion, maybe you should refrain from acquiring any pet. Remember, there is still the element of pain and suffering to be considered should it be neglected.

 Any living being deserves the right to obtain the best care possible, especially one held in captivity. The environment you provide your reptile must closely resemble the natural area in which they are found in the wild.

 If you decide to give your pet away or sell because it was not right for you, please make sure the person receiving the reptile has proper knowledge of what it takes to care for and shelter the animal.

 Reptiles make fascinating pets.  The experience can be rewarding and educational.  The responsibility lies in the hands of the owner.  If you want a fulfilling and long lasting experience as a reptile owner, take the time and make the effort to learn about what’s involved before you purchase or accept a reptile.

 Anyone thinking about keeping reptiles must consider these factors:

 

1.  Why do I want to keep reptiles?

 2.  How much room do you have to house your new reptile?

 3.  What environment does the reptile come from?

 4.  What size reptile will you be comfortable keeping? 

 5.  Are you after something visually eye catching?

 6.  How much money are you willing to spend? 

 

The next decision you must make is where to purchase your reptile from. As a purchaser you have several options and again this is a vital step in your decision making. If you choose a reputable pet shop, don’t count on their expertise. While they may sell reptiles they may not have the experience to give you the required information. In some instances they are unfortunately sold merely as profit pieces. 

 It’s often a wonder they even made it to the pet shop in one piece and alive.  Exotic pet sales have gone through the roof, so many of these wonderful creatures are handled wrong right from the start.  It pays to research how a healthy reptile should look before you make the commitment to purchase.  Just having a license to sell a reptile does not make the management responsible people with consciences.

 One of the best choices you have is to purchase from a breeder. Visit several and ask questions. No question is a silly question. Ask to see if they keep records. If you are purchasing young reptiles, make sure they are eating before taking them home. Make sure they are not too thin; this could be a sign of bad health. Ask if you can handle your reptile. Make sure they are lively and moving freely.

If you are not 100% sure do not make the purchase. Take your time.  

Remember, a responsible pet owner is not just someone who loves animals.  It’s someone who makes the effort to care for the animals properly.  There are many well-meaning people who call themselves animal lovers and still don’t have what it takes to be the right caregiver for reptiles.  You may be the perfect match for a dog and far from the perfect match for a turtle, snake or a lizard!  Know your limits before you commit.

Maria Markella asked:


Does your cat scratches your favorite beautiful furniture? Well, scratch is part of your cats life. Your Cat’s instict commands the pet to scratch in order to be comfortable and feel good. Is there any house cat training method to prevent or reduce scratching?

First lets see why cats need to scratch on furniture or objects. It’s because they need to replace the outer sheath of their claws with a newer claw. And a brand new claw is one of the most importand things for your cat.

So how to you train your house cat to prevent scratching?

1. One method suggests that the cat’s claws should be tipped with small plastic caps which are glued to the claws. Of course the cat will never stop scratching but using caps is a good house cat training method to prevent damage when your cat scratches something.

2. Another good practise would be to make use of scratching posts. You can buy a scratching post from any pet store. Put the post near the place where the cat usually takes a nap. All cats love to scratch after a good sleep.

3. Do not yell at your cat or punish it in any way. Never hit your cat! As I said earlier the cat scratches by instict and cannot associate your punishment or hitting with the fact of scratching. There are people who perform de-clawing for aesthetic or shelfish reasons. Of course I would never recommend such a violent method. This has nothing to do with house cat training.

4. Another not so nice house cat training method to prevent scratching is to use repellants. You can buy them in any pet store. Spray the repellant strategically on places that are likely to be scratched by your cat.

5. A similar method is the use of double sided sticky tapes. Stick pieces of the tape on the furniture and your cat will stop scratching. But would you like your furniture covered with sticky tapes?

6. It’s a fact that cats don’t like the smell of citrus. In fact they **** it. So a good house cat training practise would be to spray some lemon juice on certain targeted areas where your cat is about to scratch.

These are some of the house cat training methods to prevent your cat from scratching your favorite furniture or objects. I hope you found the information worth reading.
