The Benefits Of Dog Toys

Much like humans, our canine friends love a good play. To keep your pooch happy, it is important to provide them with dog toys that are beneficial to their mental and physical health. Offering them a chance to play, the right toys will keep your dog happy and healthy.

What Are The Benefits of Dog Toys?

As well as being excellent playthings and boredom breakers for dogs, dog toys posses a number of added benefits that make them an essential for your pampered pooch.

1.    Anxiety and Emotional Health – A playful dog is a happy dog. Keeping a dog emotionally satisfied is very important for its general wellbeing and, dog toys are an excellent way of keeping your pooch happy. Puppies, for example, can often feel nervous, especially in a new home or environment. A soft, cuddly dog toy can alleviate this whilst also providing something soft to chew one.

2.    Dental Hygiene – Keeping a dog’s teeth clean and healthy doesn’t always mean brushing them. A lot of toys are designed to keep your dog’s teeth in top condition. Chew toys, including chewable bones, rope toys and other some textured rubber balls, promote natural chewing helping to keep your dog’s teeth and gums healthy. For puppies, there are toys specifically designed to ease the pain of teething. Make sure to regular check chew toys for signs of wear and discard if parts begin to break off.

3.    Boredom and Loneliness – Dogs hate being bored. Squeaky toys are an excellent way to keep your dog stimulated whilst you are out. The squeak makes the dog feel as if the toy is interacting with them, helping to illuminate loneliness and keep them from getting bored.

4.    Physical Health – When used in conjunction with walks, trips to the park and other fun playtime activities, dog toys can help keep a dog physically healthy. Playing fetch with dog balls satisfy a dog’s need to run and chase, whilst keeping them happy and healthy.

5.    Increase Intelligence – Dog toys can also help increase a dog’s intelligence. Dogs are smarter than many people think, with studies suggesting that a dog’s intelligence is comparable to that of a two and a half year old child. Puzzle dog toys satisfy your pooch’s natural curiosity whilst rewarding them with a tasty treat.

A Favourite Fish For Many The Easy To Care For But Spectacular Betta.

The Betta or Siamese Fighting fish as it was once more popularly known has been a staple of community aquariums for many, many years a position that they are not always that comfortable in.

Betta Splendens are naturally from Thailand (formerly Siam) and Malaysia from slower moving warmer bodies of water. They are members of the Gourami family and still have the labyrinth organ associated with this group of fish, this organ allows the fish to breath atmospheric air from the water surface. 

The Betta has been and still is very misconceived with many people thinking that they will thrive on neglect due to the ability to breath air and the fact they can be found in standing water, or that they can be kept in the hustle and bustle of a busy community aquarium. 

The highly developed Betta deserves so much more and now people are beginning to appreciate these gorgeous fish in their own right. many forms are now bred and trade in including: Veil Tail, Comb Tail, Crown tail, Half Moon, Rose Tail, Feather Tail, Delta Tail, Double Tail, Elephant Ear and many more!!! All of this in a Kaleidoscope of terrific metallic colours.

Given their own space in a warm, gently filtered tank with clear yet subdued lighting these fish will amaze you with their confidence and character! No longer hidden at the back of your community with tired tattered fins these beautiful fish will soon become pets in their own right living for three to four years or more!

Zoo Med have brought out a whole range of Betta Accessories to help maintain your fish in peak condition. Check out the new section of the More For Pets site specifically dedicated to the Betta!! Here you can purchase all of your Betta accessories at cheap prices, everything from specialised pellets foods and automatic feeders, tank decorations and floating hide logs, to heaters and digital thermometers.

Christmas Gifts For Pets Number 1; Litter Kwitter

Most of us have seen the film Meet The Fockers and wondered how Jinksy the cat can use the toilet in the film. Well now we can teach our own cats to use our own toilet!

Following the three easy steps with the Litter Kwitter toilet trainer is made even easier with the addition of a DVD instructional disk with the product. Cats of any age or size (not suitable for kittens under 3 months or cats with arthritis) can be trained surprisingly quickly (8 weeks or less) if these guidelines are followed. The fixings are a universal fit which will easily attach to most standard toilet seats.

Training your cat to use the Litter Kwitter will stop the need for having dirty, smelly litter trays in the house meaning no more litter or dirt trodden around the house. Not using a litter tray will also save you money on the cost of cat litter.

As seen on TV
