• Pick a set time each day to feed your cat. If you pick a particular time everyday to feed your cat, you can make sure to keep your dog away when your cat is eating.  In addition, your cat will be more motivated to eat the food right away if he or she is only eating at a certain time of day, instead of having the food sit out all day. Moist cat food, such as Earthborn Holistic,is easy to feed in this way and is more likely to be eaten by your cat right away.
• Choose a location that is not accessible to your dog. Place your cat’s food container in a higher location or in a place where your dog is not able to get to. This works out well if your cat likes to nibble on dry cat food all day long. If you have the space, you may want to use a feeder like Automatic Pet Feeder by Van Ness in a secluded or high up location.
• Use a pet gate to close off your cat’s eating area. A pet gate, like the Metal Walk Thru Dog Gate, is a great way to keep your dog out of your cat’s food. This type of gate is easy for you to pass through, while it keeps your dog out of the cat’s food and reduces the amount of hassle caused by trying to separate the two types of animals.

There are a number of reasons that a dog seat belt, booster seat or pet barrier is extremely important.

1. Prevention of Driver Distractions
   Without seat belt harnesses, your un-tethered pet becomes an even greater hazard if he comes in contact with the driver in any way.
2. Protection All Of Your Passengers
   We all know that in the event of a crash our passengers can be thrown about, collide with each other and even be ejected from the vehicle. If left unrestrained our pets can be tossed about and suffer severe or fatal injuries just like our human passengers.
3. Prevent Your Pet From Escaping Your Vehicle
   Without the use of dog seat belt harnesses, a dog that has just jumped out of an automobile can easily be injured or killed. Or worse yet its actions can result in others being injured or killed.
4. It’s The Law!
   In some areas it’s now required by law that all pets be tethered in restraints like dog seat belt harnesses while in vehicles.
