Dog Charms

Are you in the mood to decorate your dog? There is no reason why your dog shouldn’t boast a bling or two while you are showing each other off as you stroll down the avenue. This is a trend that has been started by diva like pet owners such as Paris Hilton and Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor has been dressing up her dogs long before it became all the rage.

The ultimate in pampering your pet is decorating him or her with a collar decked out in Italian or dangling charms. Some of these dog charms are so nice you will want to wear them yourself. Like human jewelry, pet jewelry ranges from being as cheap as a rhinestone to as expensive as pure gold. One key to protecting a charm that is really expensive is to coat in clear nail polish. That way if it dips from your dog’s neck into his or her drinking water it won’t tarnish. You can find great charms at  Petco.com. If you would like to save money you can get Petco Coupons at GiantCodes.com . Getting a deal with coupons is always great.

There are several sites online that take to the dog charm business to its glittering extreme. Many of these outlets sell tags and no dangling jewelry in gold and silver. You can also buy Italian style charms that link together that you choose and connect into a collar yourself or you can buy the pre-fabricated ones that spell out phrases such as ,Spoiled Brat,, ,Diva, or ,Top Dog. There is also a large selection of enameled and delicate rhinestone charms to hang from your pet’s collar both online and in pet stores. Sometimes you can find these types of charms in dollar stores or novelty shops.

You can also charms made out of sterling silver that can be hung from a collar. These charms can also be engraved with a requested phrase. You can also get matching doggie and owner charm set. So your doggie can wear a charm with you around his neck and you can wear his breed around your own. Of course this kind of dog jewelry can also be customized with your birthstones as well.

If you don’t want to dangle a charm from your pet’s neck you can always buy a charm that honors your relationship for yourself and wear it. Some dog owners like to put a picture of their dog inside a little locket. Conversely you could put your picture along the dogs information inside a locket on his collar in case he or she ever gets lost.

Of course you don’t have to wear the real article although the genuine silver dog charm really is the bling to have. You can buy plenty of plastic ones and knock offs that won’t make you feel remorse if it happens to fall off of your dog’s neck while he or she is taking a run through a park.

Advantages of Toilet Training Your Cat

There are tons of advantages to toilet training your cat and in this blog I am going to describe just a few of the ways cat toilet training can improve your life.  

First of all you are going to eliminate that musky smell of kitty liter mixed with ammonia that is always so much a part of being a cat owner. No longer will you suffer this stench as urine builds up in clumps in your litter box.   You will also not be subjected to the smell of feces.  The other good thing about getting your cat to use the toilet is that most bathrooms are ventilated with fans.   This helps eliminate any odor caused by a cat. Most cat litter boxes really smell simply because they are always located in places where there is little air such as behind doors or under staircases.  

No more lugging around heavy bags of kitty litter from the grocery store. Your arms will thank you.   It will also eliminate the absurdity in life for paying absolutely good money for what are essentially designer brands of dirt (Multi-cat, with baking soda, flushing, clumping, anti-bacterial etc.) Everything simply gets flushed away instead.  

You can also stop spending money on baking soda, deodorizers and candles as there will be no more kitty litter box odor to disguise.   The odor will also be less noticeable on your clothing.  Another bonus is that you won’t be vacuuming up all that cat litter that gets tracked all over the house once your cat is done using the box. Sometimes you just don’t feel like cuddling your cat if it smells too much like the litter box.

Another problem that is eliminated is that kitty litter that gets caught between your cat’s toes and then is tracked all over you bed, linen and pillows at nap time.  If you go away for a weekend you no longer have to get someone to enter your litter box for you although they might want to visit to flush the toilet.  There will also be more cash in your pocket as the need diminishes to spend money on things like big plastic trays, hoods for kitty litter boxes, automatic litter cleaning devices and all of the other things one needs to maintain a clean litter box.

No more spending money on cleaners to wipe up spills or get ground in kitty litter out of your carpet.  You also keep the environment in general more hygienic. This is especially important if you have a pregnant mother, a new baby or toddlers in the house (who may try to play with cat feces.) If the feces are flushed away there is nothing for vulnerable individuals to be concerned about.  Another perk is it makes your cat look really smart. In fact, toilet training is one of the better cat tricks that you can teach your feline and she will look very clever if one of your guests catch her in the act.
