Pet Owners Tips – Sleep with your pet might be harmful for you

















I know very well that all we like our pet much, Infact I also…

But you may increase the chances of contracting everything from worms to the bubonic plague.
Here want to share with you, which I read recently before few hours ago,

Of the 250 known diseases transmitted from animals to humans, more than 100 of them come from domestic animals. There are private places in the household, and pets should not go beyond next to the bed.

Among the more serious medical problems animal lovers risk by snuggling up to their pets are chagas disease, which can cause life- threatening heart and digestive system disorders.

Cat-scratch disease is another problem. It can come from being licked by infected felines, and can cause lethal damage to the liver, kidney or spleen.

There are also found several cases of infections transmitted through planting a kiss on a pet.

53 per cent considered their pet to be a member of the family, while 56 per cent of them admitted they sleep with their dog next to them.

Up to 62 per cent of cat owners said their pets sleep either on or in their beds. Some 25 per cent of women admit to sleeping regularly with a pet, while just 16 per cent of men say they do.

Washing hands after playing with pets and keeping regular vet visits will help.

Dogs and cats may lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels and even decrease feelings of loneliness for their owners, for instance.

They can also increase opportunities for exercise and socializing.

Bad Dog Breath Remedies Cure Solutions




















Bad Dog breath is a serious and reliable indicator of their overall health.

(1) Replace the water in their drinking bowl. Do not allow them to drink anything other than fresh water. Its mouth is kept free of any bacteria that might start to grow in old water.

(2) Before every meal you should wash up your pet eating bowl. Have a few bowls to use so that you can clear out old food from a bowl left on the floor and place the new food down straight away.

You might find that your dog prefers eating from an old bowl and will not eat quite so much in the first few days. Eventually their hunger will get the better of them.

(3) It could be that your dog's digestive system is sensitive to an ingredient that you are regularly feeding it. This can take some experimentation but can result in an improvement to your dog breath problem.

The regular culprits that cause bad breath are red meat and some vegetable mixes. Most proprietary dog food products will not cause a problem. It is mainly home produced dog food that can cause dog bad breath.

(4) Dog Chews will help to literally scrape tartar from your dog's teeth. You can buy special anti tartar chews specifically for this purpose.

Don't look for flavored ones as that will only hide the breath problem. You are trying to get rid of it. Any dog chew will help to remove tartar build up which might be the cause of your dog's bad breath.

(5) You should use special dog brushes and cleaning toothpaste. Do not use human toothpaste and brushes. Some dogs are very reluctant to allow this cleaning. You might need a second pair of strong hands for the first few times.

Like everything, once a routine is established you will have no difficulty cleaning your dog's teeth.
