You may be wondering what causes this disease.  Dog Lyme disease is transmitted via tick bite.  The tick that carries this illness is infected with a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi.  The bacterium can’t be transferred immediately though, as the tick has to stay attached to your dog for one or two days.

Symptoms

If your dog is affected by this illness, he will show a range of symptoms.  Most dogs developing limping, especially in one of the forelegs.  Although this limping will be hard to detect at first, it will become much more noticeable as the disease progresses.  Other symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite, and fever.

postheadericon The origin of chinchillas can be traced to chile, a south american country

The origin of Chinchillas can be traced to Chile, a South American country. These furry creatures particularly originated from the Andes Mountains. The natural Chinchilla habitat includes rocks and burrows. Their agility allowed them to jump high and live in such highly elevated areas. Since they live in the mountains, Chins have to deal with different kinds of threats particularly predators like snakes, bird of preys, and canines. Like most animals, Chinchillas have different defence mechanisms to protect themselves from various threats. They usually spray their urine and release fur in order to escape their predators.

Chinchillas feed on a diet consisting of insects, seeds, and plants. Those that have the cage as Chinchilla habitat thus are often required by experts to be given with a hay-based diet. Giving other food to these pets may give them problems with their digestive tract. In their natural habitat, Chinchillas often group themselves into herds. Like most animals, Chins have the ability to breed at any point in the year.

Given their smooth fur and lovable personality, Chins have become popular choices as pets. Many people particularly in the United States choose Chins as their pets. Thus a cage can be considered as a Chinchilla habitat. However pet owners should look into several things to ensure that the cages they have for their Chins are appropriate and safe enough for these little creatures.

The foremost thing to consider when choosing a cage for a Chin is the height. The cage should be tall enough for the Chins to scale the bars, and wide enough for them to run around. Since Chins are very active when inside their cage, a cage should have ledges and shelves. The cage to be considered a safe Chinchilla habitat should have wire-based sides since Chins usually chomp on them. Having wood bases can result to poisoning on the part of the animal. Chins should also not be brought to the pet owner’s bedroom since they are hyperactive at night, and thus will only disturb any person during sleep.

In their natural habitat, Chinchillas love to climb and run around. The same goes for captive Chins. Pet owners should give their Chins enough time to roam around outside their cages. This should be done at night, when the animals are most active. An ideal Chinchilla habitat such as the cage should also have several ramps where these animals can play around. Pet owners should make sure that the ramps are strong enough to carry the load of the Chins.

Any pet owner who wants to keep Chins as pets should realize that Chins can be very hyperactive, and thus they will have their hands full in controlling these pets. By nature, Chins are inquisitive and curious. Giving toys and treats is a great way of keeping the Chins busy. But toys should not be of the poisonous kind such as plastic types.

Keeping the Chinchilla habitat clean, safe, and filled with treats should keep these furry creatures satisfied and happy inside their cages.

postheadericon Are you ready for something small, fun and furry in your family

Are you ready for something small, fun and furry in your family? No, we’re not talking about a set of furry slippers, but we are talking about the cuddly Puggle. What’s a Puggle you ask? It is one of the most interesting and loving puppies you can find in the world today.

A puggle is a high bred “designer” dog that has quickly become the most popular of dogs in the “designer” class. When you do a search on Google you will find thousands of pages that will tell you anything you want to know about this precious puppy.

Puggles are a cross between a beagle and a pug and they have been bred in the United States. Although they are not a recognized breed yet the purebred of this hybrid is considered to be a dog that has a pure bred beagle mother and a pure bred pug father. By bringing these two breeds together, you have several characteristics from both dogs. Puggles love affection and they have a calm temperament which makes them an ideal puppy for children and other pets in the home. They are small enough to carry around and to sit you your lap.

Puggle Puppies have the wrinkled faces of the pug and droopy ears of the beagle. They also have short hair so they require little grooming. They also tend to be short and stocky in appearance. As puppies, they tend to be fast, want to play a lot and have incredible energy. They are also very intelligent and prone to mischief so you want to train them right from the start.

If you are convinced that you want to find a puggle puppy to bring into your family, there are several ways to do it. Check with your local animal shelter. They often have dogs come in that other people have left for adoption and they may have just the puppy you want. If they don’t have one right away, they may save your name on a list until one comes in.

Some people find them in pet stores, but you may not know what you are getting if you go there. Also, they are generally much higher in price than buying from a breeder. If you want to purchase puggle puppies from a breeder, make sure the breeder is reputable, and ask about the genetic history which a reputable breeder will be able to tell. You will pay between $250 to about $750 if you purchase one from a breeder.

Remember though that puggles are dogs and they will have doggie behavior. Some will howl like the beagle and some will bark quietly. They each have their own personality and they will adapt their style to most environments.

Puggle puppies can make the best friends and you can even dress them up. They don’t care what you do as long as you treat them well, give them plenty of exercise and hug them a lot everyday.

These are helpful hints to ensure that your cat has a pleasurable and healthy stay with us. Knowing that we take the time and care to get to know each cat can make a difference to the quality of your holiday. Less worry for you means better holiday relaxation!

Fun – They love our treasure hunts for treats to keep them interested and stimulated and even the catnip bubbles!

Love – Perhaps the most important of all. Each cat needs time, love and attention suited to them individually. Some like to play more, others prefer to be cuddled. Our secure, family-sized units, large enough to accomodate 4 cats, ensure that your cat gets the very best attention at all times.

Grooming -This should be done each day not only to collect hairs but for the main reason of bonding with the cat. This, in turn means a more relaxed cat that is more likely to eat!

Vaccinations – Keep a note in your diary as to when your cats vaccination booster is due. This avoids disappointment as we cannot board cats without a current certificate.

Travelling Basket – Get your cat used to this by placing a favourite blanket inside as well as treats. Encourage them to explore it themselves for a few days leading up to boarding.

Meals – When giving a pouch meal to a cat always break it up so that it is easier to eat and it then releases the smells which encourages even the most fussy cat to eat.

Water – It is vital that a cat drinks lots so a variety of drinking vessels should be dotted around. Also some water added to the moist food ensures that the cat gets its much needed water

Routine – Very much needed in a cattery to ensure the cat feels more secure emotionally.
