Ways a Pet Can Change Your Life

There can be a lot of reasons why you would want a pet, but did you know having a pet is not all responsibility and has their own set of benefits? Here are a few:

Pets Help Reduce Stress

Whether your companion is a cat or dog, when you are feeling stressed, there is nothing like a caring animal to help you get your mind off the thoughts and emotions that are causing the stress.

Pets Will Love You Unconditionally

Whether you’re having a bad hair day or decided to stay in pajamas all day, your pet won’t love you less (or at least can’t tell you otherwise).

Pets Give You Something to Be Responsible For

No matter what kind of pet you adopt, it will require you to take care of it. Being responsible for another living creature can help you be more responsible with yourself too.

Adopting a Pet Means Saving a Life

Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized; this is usually because too many pets being brought to shelters and not enough people are adopting them. Thus, when you adopt, you save a life.

If you want to board or groom your pet, book a reservation in Circle Kennel Club. Their staff is friendly and at your service.  If ever you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate let them know.  Their goal is to make you and your pet have a good experience, and can usually accommodate any needs your pet may have.

Introducing a Cat and Dog

Teaching a Cat and Dog to Cohabitate

Adding a new pet to your home is an exciting. That excitement can lead to chaos in the house when introducing a new breed of animal to your home. It is easy to see where the old saying “Fighting like cats and dogs” comes from when introducing one to the other. It does not have to be that way.

When introducing your dog to your cat, or vice versa, make sure you do not force the introduction. Let your cat hide if they want and make sure the dog is restrained as it will run away the bolting cat. If you notice either pet is feeling anxious or aggravated, remove them from the room to allow them to calm down.

The Importance of Socializing Your Dog

 

Socializing Your Dog

Every dog has a personality of their own. Some are friendly and bubbly while others are introverted. No matter their personality, it is important to socialize your dog. Why? For their safety and the safety of other dogs, they must learn to get along. You do not want them to become afraid or aggressive towards other dogs.
There are several ways to go about this. You can start with socializing them at home by having doggy play dates. To prevent territorial traits from coming forth, choose a neutral area like a park.
Or you can send them to a puppy school or board them during the day. Boarders can ensure that your dogs will feel comfortable and safe while playing with other dogs.

HEALTHY CREATIVE SNACKS FOR YOUR PUP

Giving treats to your puppy is a great way to reinforce good behavior or to just show them a little love. However, you want to make sure that the treats are benefitting their overall health too! Here are a couple of ideas to give your dog’s taste buds something to drool over:

• Peanut Butter on Wheat Bread : Peanut butter is full of protein and is alright to give your pup in small amounts. Plus, there’s nothing cuter than watching them try to lick the sticky treat off of the roof of their mouth!
• Sweet Potatoes: Surprisingly, a large selection of everyday dog food has some presence of sweet potatoes. There are hearty quick snacks to fill their tummies.
• Popcorn: Skip on the salt and butter for this snack and give your little one air-popped popcorn. (This one helps keep costs down too!)
• Carrots: They’re not just for horses! Doggies like carrots too! They can chew on the whole carrot like a bone which will keep them satisfied for longer.

Your pup’s tummy thanks you!

Finding A Good Animal Boarder in Wisconsin

As expert animal boarders ourselves, we know not everyone has such an easy time finding qualified kennel providers and dog or other animal boarding services. We love to house many animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds or any other small animal. When searching for good dog boarders in Wisconsin (or any other type of boarding, anywhere) you want to ask for references or testimonials, check around the facility and make sure it is suitable for your pet and be sure you know exactly how your animal will be treated while you are away. Most animals quite enjoy boarding if they are at a facility that provides them love and all the fun they could hope for.

Training Your Cat

Cat Training

If your cat is doing some things that you don’t want them too, there’s a good chance that you can train that bad behavior away. From the cat’s perspective, there is a reason, and the behavior is perfectly reasonable.

Dog Sitters Green Bay, WI

If the cat is clawing your furniture, it’s driven by instinct to do that. It needs to claw something, it’s a survival instinct. It doesn’t have to be your furniture, but something! There’s not much chance of getting your cat to stop clawing. But you can train the cat to focus its clawing instinct on acceptable objects, like scratching posts. Train your cat to behave appropriately by using positive reinforcement, not punishment. Don’t hit the cat when it scratches the furniture. The cat won’t understand the reason for the punishment, and will just learn to fear you. Instead, reward your cat by giving it a treat when it claws scratching post.At Circle Kennel Club, we not only are a premiere dog boarding service, we board other pets too!
