  • Have on hand TranQuil-Tabs, HomeoPet Anxiety, or Clomicalm to help relieve the stress if your pet gets car sick.

  • For those long road trips or windy days protect your dog’s eyes from the wind, dust and UV rays with Doggles.



  • Have a leash or a muzzle with you at all times as pet policies in parks and beaches may vary.



  • While at your destination have your pet’s favorite toy like the Bettie fetch toy or Rita ball which you can stuff treats in so that they can have fun and get some much needed exercise after a long trip.



  • Bring along healthy treats for your pet like Joint Treats which is an all-natural treat that is tasty and also provides joint relief in dogs.

By: Ian John James | 16/11/2009
You may think a good dog is a quiet dog, but dogs disagree. A dog barks to communicate. To understand why your dog barks, consider the context, body language, vocalization, and breed: Some dogs are bred to bark only when threatened (guarding breeds like Rottweiler and German Shepherds); some to help their owners (sporting breeds like Beagles and Bloodhounds), and some just like to talk (toy breeds). All dogs bark when bored, lonely, hungry, threatened, want to play, or need the toilet. What can you do?

By: Ian John James | 16/11/2009
Why do dogs chew? Some chew for pleasure, others when bored, and partly, dog preference. But no one wants their dog to chew on their own things. Dogs chew because: 1) For most dogs, it's natural, fun, passes time, is self-rewarding, and self-reinforcing (especially if the chew tastes good). 2) Chewing is an emotional outlet for a nervous, anxious, bored, or lonely dog. 3) Chewing burns up nervous energy for the under exercised dog.

When it Comes to Sleeping Arrangements - Does Your Dog Decide Where He Wants to Sleep in Your House?

By: Ian John James | 16/11/2009
Deciding whether your dog can get on your furniture is a big decision, bigger if you have a big dog. Furniture access can be inconvenient and for the dog, it relates to dominance. Your furniture, in particular your bed is your turf. It is a big point if your dog has access, and it is not two-way (Do you snuggle in your dogs bed?) So if you choose to allow it, be extra-stringent in other ways to exert alpha-dominance, or your dog will have an inflated sense of self-importance.
