Winter has finally arrived in Michigan and it’s time to start thinking about how to keep your pet safe during the cold months.

• Don’t leave your dog or pet outside for long periods of time. Consider purchasing a pet door.
• Keep your dog or pet warm, dry, and away from drafts. Sweaters are not just for style and may be just the right thing for your pet.
• Be extra careful when your dog or pet is near frozen water.
• Groom your dog or pet regularly to keep him/her properly insulated.
• Feed your dog extra calories if he is a working dog.
• Towel or blow-dry a wet dog or pet.
• Don’t leave your dog or pet alone in a car.
• Antifreeze is poisonous to dogs or pets although they like the smell.
• Chocolate and alcohol (abundant during winter holidays) should be kept away from pets.
• Rock salt to melt ice may irritate dog or pets footpads. Either a pair of boots or Pet-safe salt should be used.
• Provide plenty of fresh water for your dog or pet.
• Be careful of fireplaces which can burn your dog or pet.

With pets going outside in the nice weather, it is inevitable that they will bring increased dirt and mud back into the house.

Bissell Yikes Deep Cleaner Machine, the Pet Specialty version of the Spot-Bot, will help you keep the house clean.

Heated cleaning continuously heats water for maximum cleaning while the powerful strong spray and suction removes even the grossest stains. The compact design stores easily and is ready to use so when messes happen, clean up is quick and easy. The large 6 inch wide mess tool is ideal for cleaning up kitty litter and kibble while the 4 inch stain brush is perfect for scrubbing deep down stains and messes. For hard to reach stains we’ve included a 2-in-1 crevice tool with a slim profile to reach tight places.
The Yikes cleaner has a built in heater switch that gives you the ability to raise the water temperature for improved cleaning performance based on your cleaning needs. The heat indicator light illuminates when the heater has reached the correct temperature. Quick release cord wrap and three prong power cord store conveniently in the back of the Yikes Compact Deep Cleaner. Two water tanks keep fresh and dirty water separate for fresh cleaning. We’ve also included an 8 oz. bottle of Bissell Pawsitively Clean Compact Machine Cleaning Solution.

It is this week’s Featured Pet Product.

Don’t forget the Yikes Deep Cleaner Compact Machine Formula.

February is Responsible Pet Owner’s Month

Here are a few basic tips that define a responsible pet owner.  It goes without saying that being responsible means providing love, food, warmth, water and proper medical treatment when necessary. 

• Get your pet “fixed”. Have your female pets spayed and your male pets neutered. Not only will you be helping control the world’s animal population, but you will ensure a better quality of life for your little family members. Plus, by fixing your pets, you are inadvertently ensuring that more homeless animals will not be euthanized.
• Attend obedience classes with your pet. At the very least, make sure all your pets are trained and well-behaved. This includes cats, and even smaller animal companions like gerbils and rabbits. If they have behavior problems, do what you can to figure out the problem and fix it. A happy, well-behaved pet makes for a happy family–and happy neighbors.
• Keep your pets vaccinated. After the initial veterinary visits, you should take each animal to the vet annually for wellness exams and for their yearly vaccinations. This is especially important if your pet is able to venture outdoors and socialize with other animals.
• Groom your pets on a regular basis. Try to brush them frequently. Some animal breeds don’t shed often, but it can be very beneficial to brush daily to bond with your pets. Brush their teeth, clip their nails, and trim their hair if they need it. A carefully groomed pet reflects a responsible pet owner.  Check for fleas often. Visit our dog grooming supply section for hundreds of great products.
• Clean up after your pet. If you live in an apartment or somewhere with a shared yard, clean up after your dog eliminates. Pictured to the right is a popular Pooper Scooper that will make the job easier. Animal feces can carry harmful diseases and parasites that can make children very sick if they come into contact with it.

 Winter is arriving slowly across the United States – but nonetheless it’s time to start thinking about how to keep your pet safe during the cold months.

1. Don’t leave your dog or pet outside for long periods of time when it is very cold. There are a few heated pet beds that are made specifically for outdoor dog houses or patios. Consider one of these.
2. Keep your dog or pet warm, dry, and away from drafts. Dog sweaters are not just for style and may be just the right thing for your pet.
3. Be extra careful when your dog or pet is near frozen water.   A dog can slip under the ice just like a human.
4. Groom your dog or pet regularly to keep him/her properly insulated.
5. Feed your dog extra calories if he is a working dog or a young, growing dog.
6. Towel dry a wet pet or blow-dry a wet dog or pet before letting him/her go outside.
7. Don’t leave your dog or pet alone in a vehicle.
8. Antifreeze is poisonous to dogs or pets although they like the smell.
9. Chocolate and alcohol (abundant during winter holidays) should be kept away from pets.
10. Rock salt to melt ice may irritate dog or pets footpads. Either a pair of dog boots or Pet-safe salt should be used.
11. Provide plenty of fresh water for your dog or pet.  An outdoor automatic waterer is convenient.
12. Be careful of fireplaces which can burn your dog or pet.

Remember that most pets like cats and dogs and bunnies are warm-blooded mammals.  A good rule of thumb is “If you wouldn’t want to be out there for that long, your pet probably shouldn’t be”.
