Moopaw is a site based on the prevention of animal abuse. Whether it be a pet in the back yard, farm yard animals, animals in entertainment, or animals for experimentation use they all need our help. We believe that children need to develop a love for animals that's why we offer a area for pet fun and an area for them to see how to raise their own pet, through buying or adopting, in order for them to experience that love first hand. We also list several of the main supplies they would need to get started. The supplies are all from High End Shops such as Cherrybrook, Happytails Spa, Petco, Petsmart, Total Pet Supply and many of your other favorite pet shops.
Six Tips for a Pet-Safe
Summer
The last days of May signal the unofficial start of summer for folks, young and old, across the country. But with these carefree months of no homework and summer Fridays comes an increased risk for illness or injury for our furry pals. From unpredictable weather to unusual routines, our animals are exposed to all sorts of hazards during June, July and August, and your pet is counting on you to keep him safe. Check out our top six tips for keeping your animal secure all summer long.
1.) Give your pet access to plenty of fresh water at all times. Even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if overexposed to the heat.
2.) Avoid lathering your pet with any insect repellent or sunscreen not intended for the four-legged kind.
3.) Keep your pet away from matches, citronella candles and lighter fluid, which if eaten can irritate the stomach, lungs and central nervous system.
4.) Be cool near the pool. Don't leave pets unsupervised around a pool, lake or high waters—not all dogs are expert swimmers!
5.) Never leave your dog, cat or any other animal friend alone in a car! The inside of a car can heat up very quickly—even with a window open.
6.) Be prepared! From tornadoes to floods, we've seen the devastation severe weather has brought to pets and their families these past few weeks. Develop an evacuation plan well ahead of time in case you're forced from your home in an emergency.
Have a pet-safe summer!
16 Common Dog Myths
1. Dogs should have a litter before they are spayed. |
14.Dogs that are mostly indoors don't need heartworm prevention.
This
is not true. Indoor pets are also at risk for heartworm disease.
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes, which can come inside.
15. Dogs eat rocks, lick concrete or eat their or another animals stools because of nutrient imbalances.
No
one knows why dogs eat "stuff" that they should not eat. Some
veterinarians believe that some dogs that eat "things" may be trying to
get attention or acting out of boredom. It is important for dogs to eat a
well balanced diet that will fulfill their dietary and nutrient
requirements and have plenty of opportunities for play and exercise.
16. Dogs don't need housebroken – they naturally know where to go.
Oh...if
only this were true. You need to train your dog on where to go. This
preferably happens when you start at a young age and give your dog
positive encouragement for jobs well done.
Four Ways to Make Our Pets Feel Loved and Cared For
Pets have feelings too and they know when they are being taken for granted. With our busy schedules and lifestyles, it’s easy to neglect our pets from time to time. Just like with any living thing, tender loving care does a lot for the overall well-being of our pets. It is not too hard to determine if a pet feels cared for in a loving household or feels neglected and depressed. Below are easy ways to show our pet some love and care, keeping them happy and healthy.
Play with your pet when you can
Playing with our pet is not only good for them; it’s also good for us too! It helps ease our tensions and lessen our feelings of stress. Playing with our pets is as easy as throwing a ball and playing fetch during our coffee break or during commercial breaks of our favorite TV show. Even when we’re just resting on the couch, watching a movie or playing a board game, it’s easy to find time to cuddle up with our pets and heed them a little attention.
Exercise with your pet
Exercising or jogging on our own can get boring, especially when we don’t have a companion. When it comes to jogging or walking, what can be a more loyal companion than our pets? As opposed to human jogging or walking partners, pets won’t say no to you when they don’t feel like walking or running. With pet as our companions, we no longer have an excuse not to jog and exercise because we don’t have anyone to do it with. Not only will our pets benefit from exercise, but we will too! Just like us humans, pets also need regular physical activities to keep them from gaining weight and keep them healthy.
Feed your pet right, indulge occasionally
Just like humans, our pets need balanced, nutritious and tasty meals. Of course, we shouldn’t feed our pets with human food but with well-researched pet food that contains all the right nutrients our pet needs. The right pet food is important for our pet’s growth especially in the early years. Asking our veterinary doctor in urbane scrubs what the best type of pet food to feed our pet is best.Treats are also crucial for feeding our pets because we also want to make them happy and enjoy life as we do, indulging occasionally.
Make them feel at home
Our pets should feel as if they are part of the family, and to do this we should make a home for them in our home. We don’t necessarily have to make them live indoors but we should appropriate a place for them that they can deem as their territory. We can build a pet house for them with pet toys and feeding bowls or even mattresses.The important thing is that they do not feel as if they are an outsider. During cold weather, we shouldn’t leave our pets out in the cold. It is better to bring our pets inside during winter time or when the temperature dramatically drops.
