[C276]Cat And Dog Together
by Elyse Grau, Ely
The most typical form of pet id is the simple collar tag. This is usually metal, but increasingly can be made of plastic or even paper. Metal tags last the longest and resist scratching.

The id tag is attached to the collar, usually using a figure-eight type hook or a double circle. The figure -eight is usually a sturdier connection.

This type of pet identification tag needs to be engraved. You can choose to put whatever you want on the tag. At a minimum the tag should include the animal's name and your phone number. If space allows, it is a good idea to provide at least one additional phone number, such as a cell phone, a neighbor or your vet.

By providing your address as well, the pet can be returned to you by the person finding it. City and state are not necessary; usually the animal is lost close to home. A zip code or area code is useful in case the animal gets loose somewhere farther away.

Temporary ids are made from paper or cardboard, which are then laminated or inserted into a plastic holder. These types of id tags are great for when you are traveling with your pet. Attach them to the collar in addition to the regular id. The temporary id should have the phone number or numbers where you can be reached, perhaps with the dates that you will be at these numbers.

If you want to get really fancy, you can purchase an embroidered collar for your dog or cat in place of the tag. Also, you can order a flat id that is threaded onto the collar. The drawback to this kind of tag is that it is not easily seen, and unless the finder looks for it, he may think the animal does not have a tag. The benefit is that it is unlikely to fall off, unless of course the entire collar is lost.

An even more permanent type of identification is the microchip. This is a relatively new technique that is becoming more and more common. Most animal shelters now automatically chip the animals when they are adopted.

The information embedded in the microchip also resides on the providing company's database, and can be accessed from anywhere in the country. The chip can then be traced back to the purchaser of the chip, not necessarily directly to you.

Since the tag cannot be seen or felt, the animal can also wear a tag that tells people it has been chipped. In order to read the microchip, the dog or cat will need to be brought to a police station, vet's office or animal shelter. Not all chips are compatible with all scanners, although improvements have been made in this area.

The firms that provide the chip also provide a recovery service. This is separate from the chip registration. An annual fee is charged. You register your pet with your information. If the pet is found and taken to someone who can scan the chip, the animal can be returned to you within twenty-four hours. There are also independent companies that provide lost-pet services, using any microchip brand.

Toys have been a part of almost every child's life. It may come in different sizes, shapes and materials but all are design to give a particular child the satisfaction and imagination they need in order to succeed in life. When it comes to the two most common and loved domesticated pet, toys are like the next best thing since their master is not always around to play with them.

For Dogs
If you are a dog owner you probably experienced losing a pair of good shoes from you're your dog's chewing activity, which often makes you disappointed with your dog. But when you think of it, it's not solely your dog's fault; after all they don't have a high thinking capability like their masters. Dogs always seek attention and because their master cannot always be there for them, they end up playing with anything that has a scent of their master to satisfy their desire for attention. This includes shoes, socks and slippers which they can easily get and play with when unattended. Furthermore, when it comes to puppies, chewing on something hard is a natural act to help them remove their puppy teeth and give way for their permanent adult teeth. This usually happens between the age of 12 weeks and 6 months.

Now whether you want to teach your dog not to chew on your belongings or you just love your dog, why not give him dog toys that will definitely make him satisfied especially at times where you can't play with them. Choosing the best dog toy for your dog may vary on size of your dog. Remember not to give your dog a dog toy that is too small where he doesn't need to chew it before ingesting, because a piece of that toy might end up choking him.

For Cats
House cats, especially young kittens are known to love playing with anything that moves such as curtains and strings; much like in some cartoons and photographs where the cat cannot resist playing with the ball of yarn. Even though cats love to play with strings and yarns, it is recommended to only give them certified cat toy to avoid health complications. Furthermore, cats sleep for as much as 16 hours per day, which is why a cat toy is essential for its physical and mental exercise. Aside from exercise cat toys also relieve boredom and release anxiety which is commonly experienced by indoor cats. If you have several cats, a cat toys are also a perfect bonding equipment to prove that cats are not solitary animals.

In choosing the best cat toy your cat deserves, of course you need to consider the size of your cat. Don't forget that cats has sharp teeth and claws that can torn their toy easy, so it's better not to buy cat toys that has strings, buttons and ribbons and other small parts. You also need to observe your cat's behavior to determine what things attracts him the most so that the cat toy which you bought will be enjoyed by your cat.
