is true for us, it is also true for our pets. We
need to understand the benefits of feeding our pets a natural,
healthy, well-balanced diet. Holistic and
natural foods offer our pets all of the nutritional components
which are necessary for healthy bodies. We need to look
towards the natural needs of our dogs and cats. The secret
of correct feeding is to give our pets a balanced natural
and healthy diet.
Just
remember...A Healthy, Natural Diet will add years to your
pet's life!

The Importance of Using a Crate
You have just brought home your precious new puppy. There is no more pressing
task for you than to see to it that your puppy eliminates where you feel he
needs to. Puppies should always have a designated area to eliminate. As a matter
of fact, most puppies who have not been trained correctly in elimination are
usually abandoned in the first year because their owners cannot put up with
the constant mess.
There are natural instincts in dogs which make house training a fairly simple
process. Puppies that are taught the process of elimination correctly tend to
keep their "den areas" clean. This is why crate training is so vital
in training the new pup.When dogs eliminate they leave scent chemicals called
pheromones in their waste. When dogs smell this scent it causes a reflex to
eliminate in the same spot.
Some people think crate training is barbaric, however, dogs are den animals.
They feel most secure in a den enclosure. This is why a lot of dogs will lie
under the table or beds. By using a crate, you are providing your dog with his
own safe den and they will try hard to keep it clean. A puppy should not be
left in the crate for longer than 3 hours. Anymore time and he will not be able
to hold himself. This also creates a regular schedule for elimination.
There are other benefits to using a crate too. Crates are great for transporting
your puppy by car. They help to keep him safe from sudden stops and swerves.
Crates prevent young pups from getting into too much mischief! We all know how
it feels to find the little one chewing on our favorite shoes or coffee table
legs. Crates are great to house your pup when staying at hotels or friends homes.
There will always be times when you can have your eye on your pup. Having a
crate helps greatly in these situations and provides your puppy with a spot
that he will always be comfortable and safe. Find a good pet supply company
that offers a variety of crates in different shapes and sizes and be sure to
match the crate to the dog, (size).
